This is like a round of cards against humanity

awkward when you have a ship full of gay pirates encountering a puzzle with a heteronormative answer.

See I want to know Ragetti’s backstory because of lines like these. I wonder how a man who seems to have been a philosophy student ended up a pirate who plays down his book learning and tells Pintel he can’t read – or was his father the student, and as a boy he picked up big words like ‘dichotomy’ but couldn’t sign his name to save his life? The Ragetti who Barbossa chose as guardian of one of the Nine Pieces of Eight, who is perhaps more consistently loyal to Pintel than Will is to Elizabeth, who casually analyzes a three-way fight between pirates like someone who’s studied Shakespeare, who at one point speaks more gently and honestly to the goddess of the ocean than any other character (“you’re not saying it right, you have to say it right.”), whose first reaction to a ship capsizing is ‘tie ourselves to the mast upside down’ and who sailed to Davy Jones’ Locker just to see Jack again… what is his story?

Enough Johnny Depp, I want to see a Ragetti-centric PotC prequel!

after an incident in 2012 Joly, Bossuet, and Grantaire try to avoid pirates and mariachi bands at all costs 

but then Marius and Combeferre decided to throw Courfeyrac the best birthday party ever, which included a band of pirates and a mariachi group

it does not go well 

at least three things are on fire, the cake is stuffed into a trumpet, there’s for some reason a giraffe for which they’re all banned from the Parisian zoo, and Grantaire, Joly, and Bossuet are in a rowboat in the Seine, frantically rowing away from the police and some very angry pirates while Grantaire’s playing an accordion he took from the mariachi band

This is, without question, the best post that anyone has ever tagged me in.

But now I have to wonder, what was the original incident? Did Bossuet accidentally steal a trumpet from one of the mariachi players, forcing them all to take refuge among the pirates (which of course backfired because, as everyone knows, pirates prefer the low brass instruments)? Were they drafted to serve as extras in the mariachi band because the lead singer wasn’t wearing his glasses and mistook their pirate costumes for mariachi outfits, only to mortally offend the band members with Joly’s fantastically awful sense of rhythm? Inquiring minds want to know!

they were running away from Madame Houcheloup, whom they had mortally offended, and they came across a pirate ship. the pirate captain was having a birthday party with a mariachi band as entertainment. 

the three of them stole mariachi costumes to escape her wrath, and as always with these three, things went wrong. things went so wrong. it’s hard to believe how wrong things went. 

they ended up accidentally sinking the ship, insulting the captain’s honor by yelling that captains have to go down with them ship- that’s the rules of being captain, ruining the mariachi costumes and instruments, and starting a fist fight between a mariachi player and the first mate.

but the worst slight was that Joly offended everyone with his awful sense of rhythm while playing the maracas.

As a butch lesbian, I HATE when ppl call me a stereotype. I CANT be a stereotype Bc I EXIST! A stereotype is a fictional manifestation of conflated ideals abt a specific group of ppl. But I’m not fictional!! I’m in This Bitch!!! Just say u hate lesbians and go!

Also – making a lesbian character butch isn’t a Stereotype either. Making her predatory and obsessed w str8 girls is a stereotype, bc that’s a concept non-lesbians invented. But butch lesbians just exist.

To make a lesbian character butch is actually powerful bc it’s making it undeniable that she’s gay. it’s showing men a woman and saying very clearly “she’s not for you!” And that’s not a lesbian stereotype! That’s a lesbian truth!!!

Non-lesbians can and should reblog

TERFS DONT TOUCH! NONE OF U ARE VALID AND IDC ABT UR OPINIONS!!!

funny how when a “straight” person finds themselves surrounded by a bunch of gay and lesbian and bisexual friends they often end up realizing they aren’t straight it’s almost like heteronormativity and being surrounded by heteronormativity keeps people in the closet and being in an environment where gay love is more normalized allows people to connect with parts of themselves they otherwise probably wouldn’t be able to

Update on reading the Brick that was too silly to go in my proper mostly serious liveblog:

Both Valjean and Javert have already run into multiple moral dilemmas and uncertainties at this point and I’ve noticed that they both respond in a different but distinct way

Valjean tends to respond to a problem like this

While our dear Inspector Javert usually responds to a problem like this

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.
