I noticed a bunch of new people in the Les Mis tag because of @lesmisletters, so I thought I’d share my Les Mis Blog recommendation list! If you’re looking for Les Mis blogs to follow, here are some people I recommend checking out! : D

Because Les Mis Letters is a readalong of the Brick I’m going to keep my recommendations to “currently active Les Mis blogs who focus on posting primarily canon era Brick-related things, are participating in the readalong in Some way, and post a lot of meta or academic analysis or information about historical context/political context/artistic movements relevant to Les Mis.” if I were to include every Les mis blog I enjoy this post would be 200 miles long XD.

1. @pilferingapples is basically the pillar of the Les Mis fandom on tumblr! They’ve been here for a decade and have an extremely organized blog that basically feels like an archive of the entire fandom- including everything from meta on all the different characters, information about lesser known adaptations like the anime Shoujo Cosette, and discussions about the historical context around the novel/French Romanticism/Victor Hugo’s life. I definitely recommend looking through the tags in their pinned post ajdjdjd. They are also just Very Nice.

2. @everyonewasabird is a Brick-Club member who has already done exhaustive chapter by chapter analyses of the entire book, and writes amazing intensely researched fanfiction. They are also very nice! (Just assume everyone on this list is nice)

3. @fremedon also has tons of exhaustive analysis/meta, and also writes great funny intensely researched fanfic that captures Hugo’s writing voice extremely well.

4. @bobcatmoran posts a lot of great things, but i especially love their recent posts about the Arai Manga and its translations!

5. @vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo has been posting tons of great historical context/footnotes lately—- and they’re also the number one source of Les-Mis-related maps!! So many high quality maps

6. @psalm22-6 posts translations of old 19th century reviews of Les Mis, as well as vintage advertisements and other weird ephemera. It’s very fun and often deeply cursed stuff.

7. @thevagueambition also does a lot of historical research (especially into things like queer history) and writes really great intensely researched Grantaire fic!

8. @persefoneshalott does a lot of great translations of Spanish adaptations of Les Mis, and has recently been posting about what things were removed in censored editions of the novel.

9. @alicedrawslesmis is a great Les Mis art blog that also dives into jokes/analysis too!

10. @shitpostingfromthebarricade posts a lot of brick-focused stuff, and does a lot of clever clever and thoughtful modernizations (ex. Retelling an entire chapter with nearly the exact wording Hugo uses, but changing the setting/historical references to modern day ones)

11. @ueinra posts illustrations from old editions of Les Mis across the world and screenshots of/ information about obscure adaptations. :3

I might add more later because I know I’m missing people, but these are just the first currently active brick-focused somewhat research-heavy blogs that came to my head! :D

#Les mis #les mis letters #and I hope no one is insulted by the way I described their blogs ? 😂 #But YEEE there are so many more blogs I could add #like there are people whose stuff I love but #who don’t primarily post Les mis right now #including some of my fandom friends …. #anyway I recommend following Everyone but this is just my non exhaustive top-of-my-head list #obviously there’s also pureanon and byjuxtaposition #and badlesmisimagines #and etc etc #but yeah i spent too long on this XD

Just a little friendly reminder, because I’ve seen a few people already debating it on twitter, but y’all there’s really no reason to fight over Obi Wan being either bi or aroace. People can be both bi and aroace. I’m literally both. Bi aroace people are a thing and we are very valid. Obi Wan being bi aroace is amazing and wonderful. Its rep I honestly thought I would never see for myself, especially in something like star wars, and I’m so happy to see so many other people are finding representation in him as well.

#obi wan kenobi #just #a little friendly reminder #I know there's a lot of misunderstandings about aspec identities #I saw some people arguing about it on twitter #like besties its not a bi vs aroace thing #there are people who are both #bi aroace people are real #so there's no need to argue over him being one or the other #and it totally makes sense that people with different identities are going to see themselves him #people who are bi will see themselves in him #people who are aroace will #people who are both bi aroace will #people who are bi ace or bi aro will #people who are queer #and etc etc #ya know what I mean??? #so arguing is just #not very helpful or needed #bisexual #aroace #bi aroace #aromantic #asexual

today my bike I have had for 7 years got stolen so I was really upset and called or went to every pawn shop on my side of the city then came home and realized I hadn't eaten at all throughout the day and I'm bleeding into my clothing (normal monthly blood). well. :/

#i don't see a stain on the jeans at least. cotton undies you have supported me once again #i thought i was just being my usual overly emotional self crying about this #how am i supposed to live in this world when unpleasant coincidences like this keep happening to me and i get way more upset than i should #etc etc can i go a year without some stupid mishap can i just live in peace. last year it was the roaches #i KNOW every time i move something unpleasant is bound to happen for a while but i keep moving around #and etc etc #then i realized i had not eaten so perhaps could chalk this unhappiness not up to my basic unsuitedness for life in society #but up to hunger #modern problems require ancient solutions #anyway that is the last time i leave my bike chained outside overnight #i guess i am too trusting

it’s becoming more and more apparent that governments don’t care about young people or genuinely don’t have them in mind when they make decisions when it comes to anything but then demonize young people for speaking up injustices and how mistreated they are… make no mistake they hate this younger generation for standing for something and being tired and how we don’t wanna suffer in silence like most of our parents and grandparents did! we are fed up and we just want change and they how powerful we can be if we stick together it’s just becoming so clear but jokes on them we won’t stop any time soon

#i’ve had this on my mind since my country’s elections #instead of building a better future for younger generations #you just want to make our lives more miserable so we don’t have hope for the future #i am hopeless tired and exhausted i log on social media every day #to see tragedy people asking others for donations bc they can’t afford food #or their rent #seeing genocides and people dying #people my age who can’t get a job on the fields they studied #and etc etc #i could be here listing all the bad things i see every day #i just want a better future for us #and for that we need the present to be better #some of us can’t take it anymore it’s impossible to not be anxious about the future #when our current present is so miserable #that’s all i have to say #tris.txt

i dont post sketch/doodle dumps bc they tend to look like the psychotic wall scribbles of a maiden trapped inside of a tower but considering the show i was rewatching that quality is fitting

#the boys #homelander #soldier boy #kimiko #timothy lmaooo #the lil guy who exploded in the other guys peepee and then was locked in a bag of coke idk his name #billy butcher #and etc etc #then again what is this blog if not a wall inside of a psych ward #sonopost #art

Get attacked!! ✨🌈SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING🌈✨

Awe. This is really sweet. Thank you.

And being told to send on things like this always gives me a lot of anxiety, so I won’t be keeping it going on my end. But def seems like a nice idea.

#always feel kinda bad w things like this for like not continuing g #but it ends up stressing me out a bunch to think of who to send it all too. #and like worrying if they’d be receptive to it #and like will other people feel bad if it’s not them #and etc etc #still is sweet to receive it so thank you #just got a little venting about it too #ask

I also love the people who are like NO Dracula wasn't a werewolf he just could turn into a wolf. Like babes sorry to burst your bubble but what exactly do you think it is werewolves do...

#like ancient greek 'vampires' as we identified were people sick with diseases #closer to our understanding of zombies #the vampires we know are like victorian at best #werewolves are super duper old and very much myths of zeus cursing men in wolves #and moved through christian writing about how they're dream creatures #and etc etc #like the werewolf mythos is so much older than vampire i don't know how it's a debate

Me looking at how far along I am in One Piece and how much further I have to go: this is gonna be my whole year, isn’t it

#I can binge shows pretty quickly #(you wanna know how I got this username) #I watched all of adventure time in about a month and a half #I watched all of Naruto shippuden in a month #and etc etc #so I thought why not do one piece #but I’m beginning to realize just how long this show is

So obscenely happy people like that post cuz I was fully projecting.

#like I don't have the dissociative amnesia #But my brain immediately goes like 'this isn't real' 'this isn't what it feels like you're making it up' 'this isn't your body' ' #abd then puts a bugscreen over the feeling so it's like secondhand #And etc etc #So like #My projection on to this character is canon to people! Woohoo! Lovely vibe

you'd never believe it from me, the person who keeps fucking up their queue, but i've fucked up my queue again. i did it in the process of trying to move more recent, interestinger stuff to the front. things are sort of mostly in the order i'd had before, but the cooler things are still largely in the ~1 months from now section of the queue

anyway,

#all these options have consequences btw. for example if my queue runs out before i have many more Things drawn i will go on radio silence #for anywhere between 3 business days to half a business year #'''business year''. they don't say that do they #or if the interesting posts are sooner the uninteresting ones are later #and etc etc #art polls #artposting #polls #absolutely not queueing the animatic im workin on tho i literally will have to restrain myself from posting it the instant that i finish it #bc there Will be slight issues which i Will need to neaten up. or else.
