Btw The Les In 'les Mis' Stands For Lesbians. If You Even Care.

On the hundredth day after the new year the heralds come to the doors of the city, announcing the arrival of the Golden Caravan at the farthest stop of its route ; like every year, citizens and travellers will surely gather at the western door to see it come to pass.

Right behind the banners as customary are the sculptor priests, foremost of the stonemason orders, bringing in this year's votive masterwork for the festivities. The black and white steppe oxen precede the arrival of the head guild architect, charged with the safekeeping of the citizens' sacred geometry. The graduating apprentices and newly welcomed novices walk besides the draftsroom carriage, bearing the icons of the Citizen Architects Guild : ardor and patience. Out of the kilns of the imperial workshops come delicate masterwork sought after the world over ; the sister-ceramists are selected from various key regions of the trade system and bring their local styles to the imperial production. Those workshops are the northernmost stop on the caravan's route.

Behind the masons, the torchbearers announce the arrival of the metalworkers' guilds, chief of which the head goldsmith on a palanquin of her own design. The braseros and forges are continuously tended by guild kindlers as to remain lit throughout the entire voyage of the caravan. Second to last comes the host of the manticore, behind the braseros of the master kindlers. It is believed that the creature requires her caretakers to be pure of heart and most diligent ; the honour is bestowed only on the highest performing apprentices of the smithing guilds. On the last day finally, behind the last of the apprentices, the crones of the chain count the days left to craft, keeping misfortune at work away, and, some even say, Death itself.

the french republics summarized

First Republic: hundreds of angry lawyers with divergent political opinions stuck in the same room (it makes for amazing entertainment)

Second Republic: "President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte"? Sounds perfectly safe to me!

Third Republic: WE FUCKING HATE THE GERMANS 😡

Fourth Republic:

Fifth Republic: Ah, finally a republic that is actually stable! ...wait a minute-

You have every right to be angry at your abuser. 

Even if they have a disorder, disability, trauma, or were abused themselves. 

It doesn’t invalidate what they did to you.

today in philosophy class

i love when philosophers and mathematicians argue ❤️❤️

Controversial opinion, probably?

I just feel like they have very similar personalities, but widely different roles and symbolisms (at least in the books...)

that is the prettiest thing i have ever seen 😍Every little detail adds so much ❤❤❤❤

Happy gays Valentine's Day!

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

AU in which Nicolas is the one to finish Mozart's Requiem during his years at the theater, and views it as an homage to his former teacher, and a way to finally asserts himself as a genius musician in his own rights, proving that he was able to learn and perfect his playing and composing skills enough to rival the great names of his times, even if he began later in his life and was considered a set for failure by Mozart himself. And despising what he composes because it is a proof that he is only good because he as been turned into something wrong, inhuman, and that becoming this irrevertedly damned creature was the only way for him to achieve greatness, whereas Lestat was a masterful actor basically from birth, and could achieve greatness whilst still being happy and human.

Anyone else sees the vision?
