when i was sixteen and insane for my shakespeare class final i had to do the “alas poor yorick” monologue at a competition and while i was doing it i had this insane thought of like. i’ve never been and never will be closer to experiencing hamlet’s mental state than i am right now. like of course all that stuff didn’t happen to me but when you’re 16-19 you kind of feel like all that stuff is happening, all the time, constantly
This won’t work for everyone but sometimes when you can’t bring yourself to shower you’ve gotta get yourself in the mindset that you’re trying to beat the shower speedrun world record. Water bare minimum temperature you can stand it, suds, hair, rinse, out in less than two minutes. Like you’re paying for water at a campground. Pull off the band aid approach. Use a stopwatch if that helps. Have a personal best shower time. Don’t slip.
Something about how if enjolras is grantaire's sun, then grantaire must be enjolras' moon, something something, the moon only shines when the sun is around, and even then only reflecting its light...?
still about les mis manuscript, and now you can hear me scream!
this part is a MESS but it is about the moment enjolras tells grantaire "Don’t disgrace the barricade!" etc! and in the border, victor hugo added a part (which is not in the final edition) :
- tu sais que je crois en toi. - va-t-en.
in english:
- you know i believe in you. - go away.
do you hear this!!!!!! im screaming in my room.
You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
