if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

#he also goes on for another six pages after this but by then he has remembered the existence of the full stop #the endnotes say that hugo 'se devait de faire [ce portrait] aussi favorable que possible à la personnalité de l'homme #qui avait favorisé sa carrière' (had to make this portrait as favorable as possible to the character of the man who had favored his career) #in fairness to hugo it's not like louis-philippe was alive to read this. so he wasn't just sucking up to get something out of it #he says at the end of the chapter that this description is 'entirely disinterested'. which like on the one hand i get #bc like i said louis-philippe was not in power and reading this. but otoh victor 'ancien pair de france' hugo u r not exactly unbiased. lol #les mis #lm 4.1.3 #i just looked up the english translation and gasp! hapgood turned it into four separate sentences!!!! #so i think y'all who are reading it via les mis letters (which uses hapgood i think?) are gonna miss out on the full experience :/ #my posts #linked to #syntax #idk if i got this across but the worst part is that the subject of the sentence - the beginning of the independent clause - #doesn't occur until the very end. so for the first 95% of the sentence you're just waiting for the bass to drop!!! #like reading it out loud you have to raise your pitch at the end of every dependent clause because you haven't gotten to the subject yet #AND THERE ARE SO MANY CLAUSES!! 49 SEMICOLONS PEOPLE!!! FORTY-NINE!!!! #victor hugo would be TERRIBLE as a hype man. he would take so long that the crowd would tear him to pieces with their fingernails #before louis-philippe could come out on stage. and then they'd be so mad at louis-philippe for inspiring him that they'd tear LP apart too #actually i think i'm using hype man wrong. i'm thinking of the guy that gets the crowd hyped up for the main guy before the main guy #makes an appearance. a hype man is the guy who makes interjections during a song. victor hugo would be bad at both of these #like just imagine the announcer at the beginning of a basketball game. and now...your starting lineup...at power forward... #and then he just says the 760-word louis-philippe sentence. #dead. murdered at the hands of the fans. microphone shoved down his trachea.

okay i just got a fun idea for a pokemon line based on a cube mammoth post i saw but cant find now

a sort of caterpie metapod butterfree type concept except its w a fossil.

option A: the first form is an ancient looking animal, maybe its like an ancient mammal or a dinosaur, or if u wanna keep the bug concept its an ancient looking buggie. the second stage is it being fossilized, as a "chrysalis", maybe stylized a bit to go w the concept, but could be done as a nonmoving poke like metapod with a rock fossil or a bit of amber (if going bug), or maybe you could take from the la brea tar pits and have em covered in goop. then of course last form is post fossilization, break em outta there. which would either be a cool skeleton fossil, or. well im not sure where to take it w the bug. ghost bug? rock bug? fuck dunno.

option B: its just a fuckin Rock at first. then you crack it open, and look fossil! a bit more work to free the fossil and u have a ROCK TYPE fossil pokemon

...B is a lil more boring but it was the initial idea so might as well include it.

#pokemon #fakemon #...well a concept for one i. art hard. #buzzy #im imagining like a sabertooth lion line thats cute little baby!! aw no they get covered in Goop thats so sad. AHHHH SKELETON!! #maybe skeleton is on fire #i was about to say 'oh but have they done a sabertooth yet...' yes they did literally the last game it was a lengendary #well. find an ancient mammal that aint represented yet ig. #giant sloth? do we got those? #sloth would also be fun for the tar thing #like okay it was already slow as fuck but when covered in tar its like. hardly moving #i can see the pokedex entry now. 'despite the appearance of not moving at all slopitch actually moves at imperceptible speeds' #(insert pitch drop experiment reference here) #it gets slightly faster again when in skele form but its still a sloth #for some reason im imagining the tar form as like. a meditatve pose. criss cross applesauce. #anyway if any artists see this feel free to run w it #but yea basically just :) baby > OH STUCK. BABY STUCK > baby is now REALLY COOL SKELETON #ohhhh also hey. nother thing to throw in there. opalized fossils :)

Why do you hate autotune so much?

I don’t hate it i just think it’s lazy

#Like even I’m fine with ppl using it on studio recordings bc companies hardly ever tolerate anything least than perfect #But on lives too?? Come on man #It gets annoying and repetitive after a while #Also ion think some of u realize exactly how much auto tune does like there was a video on yt #Of this old lady getting recorded singing(very untrained lots of mistakes) and after some “basic pitch corrections” on auto tune #boom suddenly she sounds like a professional #also controversial but I WANT to hear the human in a singer #Ion give a shit if a singer gets out of breath during a performance it adds to the experience #I want to hear the emotion in their voice I want to hear them stutter and drop a pitch and make mistakes #Not just sing in all “perfecr notes” like a good damn robot #A lot of ppl argue that it’s hard to maintain good voice when dancing but believe me I do concerts n shii on my own too #And it ain’t that hard if u train sure there’ll be a little roughness here n there but u won’t become horrible suddenly #<- ion tryna say I’m better than all those pro singers bc mf be serious I rlly am fucking not #so if I can do that so can they!!!!

Hehehe >:3 got a kissie and some headpats from a pretty girl >:3 muahahahahahaha >:3

#sorenhoots #sometimes i remember that i am living the life that i ached for during lonely years #like i just get to wake up and live my gay little life??? kinda fucking awesome even if many other parts of life are very stressful #im so glad i met my wife who loves me for who i am 🥰🥰🥰🥰 and 😈😈😈 heheh then i met my other partner???? like. i thought my wife made me #the happiest i would ever be and then WOOSH i met ANOTHER person who makes me incredibly happy? i did not know the happiness could DOUBLE. #i figured it was like 0%-100% and my wife made me like 100% of my capacity for happiness and then its like 200% now and im realizing that my #capacity to experience joy and peace isnt static and frankly probably increases steadily over a lifetime as i grow and change and learn to #appreciate things more. anyways im in a content happy lil gay mood this morning :3 #my partner got to visit us recently to help us get emotionally ready for some stressful stuff but now the most stressful parts are done and #now that the stress is fading i am finding so much happiness has been in my chest waiting to burst! it was sooo good to see my partner hehe #and the situation is even cuter because my wifes partner also came to visit and my wifes partner is my partners wife also so like. adorable #symmetry. my partner and my wifes partner have another partner and if you draw out a little diagram of us you will see it is shaped like a #house :3 a square with a triangle on top :3 hehe metamours everywhere :3 super super super wonderful metamours. its literally almost like a #fairy tale to have a polycule??? like?? im so excited to live somewhere that isnt like 9 hours from them. oh my god they also have a cat and #shes the cutest. me and my wife have a cute cat also and we are like 👀👀👀 tenatively anticipating that they will get along 👀👀👀 ive #specifically worked with my cat to help her know how to behave around other cats. my neighbor is retired and does TNR on the local strays #and they get attached to her and hang out in her backyard or her house lol like one snuck in and this was before they had any cats and they #didnt know he snuck in until he hopped onto her bf's chest at night to snuggle up. and hes a big cat and if you felt him drop onto your #chest in the pitch black of night you might absolutely mistake him for a racooon or possom or some other beast. anyways he sneaks into all #the houses down the street apparently and is just kinda like “the retired people down the street”'s cat lol. and daisy would hiss and yowl #out the window at him but i always tried to show her that he is friendly (and give her treats to attempt to tell her 'he isnt a threat. have #a snack. see? if he was a threat then we would not be having snacks.' and eventually he ran into us while i was letting her outside on her #harness and!!! i was absolutely ready to defend either of them from the t #other but they just cautiously sniffed each other and then laid down. it was fascinating to observe. daisy also responds really well yo #to meeting new people :3 though she proved me wrong by hiding from some maitenence ppl recently. but then she met my metamour and was pretty #much instantly like 'oh ok ur family? sounds gok #sounds good.' so thats cute and i hope if we end up in the same house with the other cat in the polci #polycule. well i hope they get along!!! #idk what we would do if they didnt. there are lots of other housing arrangements (like renting a duplex or next-door apartments or #something) but i want them to get along anyways :3 no matter what sort of living arragement works out best. i think theyd be good for each

RATS are NOT your friends at night while you're reading a scary book

#so if you didnt know. rats are nocturnal #so its 2am where i am rn. my room is pitch dark because i have my blinds shut #and im reading a scary book. lots of spooky creatures and body horror and haunted shit #and my rats. are knocking shit over and chewing on things and generally being menaces #or theyll go silent for a minute abd i think theyre chilling and then all of a sudden theyll drop a toy or something #and scare the shit out of me #they use their spooky little hands to climb on the bars of their cage. and they use their spooky little teeth to aggressively eat kibble #and i gave them new toys today. these edible foraging toys that they love #but that means my room is full of the sound of pulling on bars. or the clicking of a water bottle. or chewing. so muvh chewing #and im reading about this dead body come back to life. with like all of her bones broken. killing a guy in the most grotesque way #and its altogether a very bad experience #i was bored for the first 70ish pages but then it got really fucking good and im hooked. but its also terrifying #the rats have gone silent but now my dog is shifting in his kennel outside my room #both are terrifying. why are my rats silent. why is my dog moving. when will he move next #these animals are harassing me. whats next. my sibling's rabbit is going to break in? in roommate's cat will start scratching at the door? #if my landlord is reading this then ignore all of these tags. we only have a dog sir. no rodents or felines or whatever tf a rabbit is here #ah the rats are making sounds again. terrible horrifying sounds #i have to piss but im scared to get out of bed. i think i live here now. in bed. i cant leave #on a somewhat related note i really want to make deviled eggs rn but i have roommates that are trying to sleep #on one hand i miss living alone. on the other it makes me feel safer to have two other people here with me #even if the threat is only my imagination #and my mischievous critters

I'm giving myself a little jumpscare every time i talk with my relaxed natural voice which is now noticeably different than before

It's exciting but like i said, little jumpscare each time

I have kind of forgotten that even though I'm excited for it andooked forward to ir a long time and like the change, i still have to get used to it, and then do a little bit more getting used to it for the autism

#own post #trans #it's not like deep deep yet I'm on day 5 but it's noticeable #and i say relaxed voice because otherwise i still speak high in my mask voice #it also feels illegal to not pitch my voice up higher anymore #because i did for over a decade #and it feels illegal because i think my parents haven't quite processed the change of me actually really physically transitioning now #because they're not really excited for it with me they just vaguely support me based ⅔ just on the principle of bodily autonomy #and it feels like i don't get to have the space to do it at the pace it is happening because i need to protect their feelings or sth #also I don't want to experience their processing melt down which will happen in somw capacity #although it's probably easier to drop the charade now so they experience the gradual drop instead of pitching it up until im suddenly #waking up as dean winchester season ~14 ish

* consider. the pitch drop experiment but it's in night vale. somewhere out in the desert are reports of a display case. inside is a glass funnel and beaker. pitch is slowly dropping from the funnel into the beaker — at least we think it'll eventually drop.

* carlos and his team of scientists are actively investigating the pitch drop, trying to figure out if it'll ever drop. cecil talks about it on the radio too

* then one broadcast, cecil is reporting the going ons in night vale as normal, when he has a very important announcement. the scientists currently watching the pitch have exciting news! the pitch is about to drop!

* then something happens that cuts cecil off in the middle of describing this historic event (or maybe the weather happens). when we return, cecil only briefly says that there's yet to be any sign of the pitch dropping, then moves on. it's as if the previous segment never happened.

* maybe the pitch drop is mentioned every once in a while. but every time someone tries to report the pitch falling, something prevents them. all we know (or are allowed to know) is that there's a funnel and beaker with pitch, covered by a display case, somewhere out in the desert.

* tune in next time to hear what pitch sounds like. good night, night vale. good night.

#don't take any of this seriously lol #wtnv #when i first saw that post about the (queensland) pitch drop experiment i immediately went 'this would happen in night vale' #i'm so cool...... (a fib)

hi hello psa for my beloved fellow transgenders who are worried about somehow ruining their singing voice by going on testosterone: i’m about 2.5 years on t, my normal speaking voice has dropped about an octave and a half and i just hit the high C ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

#hrt #voice #not to brag but actually extremely to brag my range is 4 octaves now 💅🏼✨ #not only did i not lose the ability to go high - i learned how to go higher than before and ALSO gained those sweet rumbly low notes #w after w im tellin ya #what t does to your vocal cords is it makes them thicker btw #the thicker they are the slower they vibrate and the slower they vibrate the lower ur voice sounds #but you don’t categorically lose the ability to reach high notes! that’s literally just technique #if anything my singing has improved SIGNIFICANTLY since starting t! #its bc ive been taking singing lessons lol #genuinely tho i rmbr googling transmasc singers experiences for hours n being soo worried abt like. losing my singing voice somehow #and there definitely was like. an adjustment period. i think any pubescent cis choir boy can attest to this #having to relearn how to smooth over my break like 3 times bc every time i had it it DROPPED LOWER AGAIN rinse repeat #annoying n frustrating yeah but like. nothing practicing and experimenting can’t fix u__u #and only a problem to deal with for the year or so your voice is actively changing until it settles at its new pitch #i hope this reaches whoever needs to hear it rn but 🗣️going on t is not gonna ruin ur singing voice🗣️ fear not <3
