#ITS NOT SUPPSOED TO

[secretmellowblog]

i just dont really understand why theyd target les mis? and like. its interrupting the work of actors and crew and house staff who dont have anything to do with fossil fuel corps. people who just paid to see the show who dont have anything to do with it.

i understand les mis is a show about rebellion and humanity but to me it doesnt make any sense.

( i say this as someone whos probably very unaware and very slow to realize the deeper meaning of things so i apologize if it comes off snobby i am just confused !! /genuine )

I'm very sorry if this comes off as rude but like.... "I don't understand why people would use Les Mis as the symbolic centerpiece of an act of protest/rebellion against the government" is just a very strange thing to say, and I'm genuinely not quite sure how to begin to respond XD. Like....it's literally Les Mis. It is Do You Hear the People Sing. The original novel was written to be a political rallying cry, it was written to bind together activists, and it has been used that way thousands of times since its publication in 1862. It's Les Mis, I don't know what else to tell you XD. Also I know this next comparison isn't perfect, but:

“I don’t understand why Les Amis interrupted Lamarque’s funeral.  Obviously I agree with Les Amis’s goals, but was this really the right way to protest? Obviously the government is doing something bad— but was this symbolic event really the right place to talk about it? Why even choose to interrupt this event, and the lives of the workers leading it and everyday people attending it? It wasn’t responsible for what was happening! 

Okay, yeah, I get the funeral is ‘symbolically significant.’  I get that Lamarque has become, in popular culture, a symbol of rebellion and resistance against a government’s unfair policies.  I get Lamarque’s funeral is a pretty big public event that has a lot of symbolic significance ties to ideas of rebellion against the state.

I get that Lamarque’s words are often seen as a rebellious call to action, so illegally interrupting his funeral could be a statement about resisting tyranny. It could be a call to action playing off the popularity and symbolic role that Lamarque has in the public consciousness.

 But at the same time— shouldn’t Les Amis have just gone to the palace and attacked the king directly? Why disrupt this symbolic event instead? They’re not really going after the people responsible! 

After all, there were so many people there who just wanted a normal day. They weren’t responsible for what the government was doing and had nothing to do with it.  They wanted to see the procession, to hear Lafayette’s speech and grieve a political figure they cared for. They wanted to hear people praise ‘resistance’ in the abstract, without actually doing it.

 Weren’t Les Amis disrupting that?  

Aren’t Les Amis bad activists? Isn’t disrupting people’s everyday lives for the sake of 'activism' always inherently a bad thing? I’m not against activism, but isn’t doing that kind of disruptive activism rude? Isn’t disrupting the lives of ordinary people just doing their jobs or going out for a special event evil— no matter why you’re doing it, or what your goals are, or whether the government actually is doing something vile that we should start to stage great events rallying against?

Even if this Lamarque's funeral has special significance because of its symbolic pop cultural ties to rebellion against tyranny—shouldn’t they have just avoided rudely interrupting some regular people’s everyday lives? 

Protests shouldn’t disrupt things. they should be big parades that don’t make anyone uncomfortable, don’t interrupt anything, and don’t disrupt any aspects of ‘normal people’s daily life.’ No one should ever target symbolic events— like a funeral for a political figure or a musical about revolution—  to make a political statement. Protests should be little quiet festivals that cause absolutely no interruption in everyday life so that we can all just safely ignore them, until the climate catastrophe they’re warning us about arrives.”  

#les miserables #les mis #sklajdfsf sorry if this comes off as rude its also not my intention. im just a bit baffled XD #but slakdjfsdf #no hard feeligns though kinda #but protest is supposed to be disruptive and to prevent life from continuing as normal #and using Les Mis-- a story that is theoretically about rebellion against tyranny-- as the symbolic centerpiece of a disruptive protest #makes a lot of sense #and protests angrily decrying fossil fuel companies is important! #ive noticed its really easy to glorify the concept of protest/resistnace in the abstract #but its hard to deal with the fact a lot ground-level protest. is disruptive to every day people #because its suppsoed to be #and honestly the climate crisis will affect our daily lives far more than student activists interrupting a show #so people wll need to get refunds XD

The part in Apollo Justice where you play as Phoenix in his last trial makes me feel things ahhhhhh

It’s so insanely good at pulling off dramatic irony because you, the player, know how it’s supposed to go. In a normal ace attorney case, the music was at that point where it’s like fuck yeah, hit him with all you got. It was at that point where Valant was about to have an animation where all his animals attack him or something

But you still know how it’s going to go. It’s easy to forgot while it’s happening but the forged evidence is in the background the entire time. It’s the third piece of evidence you get, it’s there every time you check the court record.

And when you have to present the forged evidence, Phoenix doesn’t do it. You have to pull the trigger, despite knowing damn well this will send Phoenix into a seven year long slump. You know it and it feels like even the game itself doesn’t know. The game treats it like the classic Ace Attorney triumphant moment but you know this case ends in tragedy

It’s just as someone who had Ace Attorney as my first big thing I was into and Phoenix was as one of my first blorbos, it’s a fucking gut punch. I genuinely spent five minutes sitting there not presenting the forged evidence because i genuinely did not want to

I love it so muuuuuuch ace attorney my beloved

#ace attorney #ace attorney apollo justice #the juxtaposition of how it’s suppsoed to go and how it’s actually going to go #dramatic irony at its absolute peak in this case #I haven’t gone through the mason system thing yet don’t spoil me lol #this part freaked me out so much I stood up to play

Talking to my family abt human rights for non US citizens is a fucking nightmare-

Like okay, i get that ur a skinny conventionally attractive neurotypical cishet white boy but you SHOULD care about people less privileged than you !!!

You SHOULD care abt people that don’t live in America !!!

You SHOULD care about other people, not bc you can relate to them for any specific reason but bc they are PEOPLE !!!

Bashing my head against a wall repeatedly.

#vent #tw vent #vent tw #I hate it here #it’s so crazy bc they are all very proud of how progressive they supposedly are #but then they go and say shit like protesting is bad and useless and inconveniencing #like BOY being inconvenient is the POINT #ITS SUPPSOED TO DISRUPT YOUR AVERAGE LIFE #CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE BC THEY ARE HUMAN
