captain america would voice the pacer test and you just know every high schooler that went through the awful middle school running test from hell would make fun of him every chance they got
when he and peter meet peter looks him dead in the eyes, completely unimpressed by captain fucking america and starts going “the fitnessgram pacer test is a multistage aerobic capacity test-” and steve almost cries
Fun fact: you want to know where the whole “poison Halloween candy” bs comes from?
In 1984 Ronald Clark O’Bryan gave his son, daughter and some of their friends cynide laced Pixy Stix (he was intending to poison his own children and gave it to the friends to cover his tracks). When his son ate one and died, O’Bryan told police they’d gotten the candy from a suspicious-looking neighbor. Turns out O’Bryan did it for life insurance money.
There are 0 reported cases of children being poisoned or given drugs by strangers in their Halloween candy. However kids, you are 100% more likely to be poisoned by your parents. Happy Halloween.
Revelation 4-8: Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around,even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’
Actually I’ve never thought about it until now, but I like it and I’m getting some ideas!
When Enjolras was little, he always had trouble with speech. He was okay talking to his family and friends, but when he had to present in front of his class he’d always talk quietly and stutter.
His classmates made fun of him for it, and he closed himself off.
When he got to college he had to take a required public speaking class, and he was terrified.
He eventually met and joined Les Amis and would quietly give his input to Combeferre, who would share it for him.
As he began to feel more comfortable with Les Amis though, he was able to share his own thoughts and opinions. They appreciated him for who he was, not looking down on him for any disability.
Once he got comfortable with speaking in front of Les Amis, they encouraged him to speak for a small protest. He didn’t stutter once.
Enjolras came to realize that when he was speaking about something he was passionate about, he could do it clearly, and if he ever got nervous, he would just look to his friends and gather courage from them.
Hope that was okay! I don’t have a lot of experience with autism, so if any of that was inaccurate or offensive please tell me!
I’ve always struggled with this for books written 100+ years ago. I suggest looking past the problematic parts like the ones you mentioned and looking at all the things it does right – the ideas of the revolution are focused on the poor not wanting to be oppressed by an overmighty government – a very relatable theme. The characters a lot of the time are fighting for the rights of those less fortunate.
My most recent English project was actually on feminism in Les Mis and my conclusion was yes, it’s pretty sexist in the details and some of the stuff they say, but look at how women are used to advance the novel (fantine isn’t blamed for her fall, but instead the guy who abandoned her is, rightfully so).
If all else fails, be glad that times have changed and that you’re clearly a good person for being able to recognise the problematic parts – not everyone is as well educated/sensible.
The good thing is that the modern fandom of Les Mis is very very liberal and diverse, and so even whilst the book is problematic, the modern versions are the opposite.
I don’t want to really go into too much detail, but I’d been with my ex boyfriend for about 3 years before we broke up recently and it got bad at the end. He deleted my tumblr with 3k followers and changed a lot of my passwords to lock me out of my social media. He’d assaulted me a few times over the course of the relationship too, but it never as bad as in recent months.. or the most recent time in particular. I defended myself and it got really bad so I had to call the police. We were both arrested and I was released that night, my ex wasn’t and came home 3 days later. We both had to move out of the nice new apt we were renting a room from, which was.. awful. It was a very nice place and we were lucky. He also changed the number on the cellphone (his) that we used, making it so my mom can’t contact me if / when she’s released from prison. She’s the only family I have.
That was almost two weeks ago, now hes back home with his family and I’m staying in a 1-bedroom with my friend Macy for short term while I try to find a new place. I had to leave my bed (3rd bed I’ve had to behind this year alone), my table, and a single dresser from goodwill. But on the bright side I have my own cellphone now!
I believe I’ve found a place in baltimore that wants 600/mo and 300 security deposit for a room. I’ve got about 500$ right now, almost enough to cover half a months rent + the security deposit and move in around the 14th. But after that I’ll need my own bed and a table & dresser. Also some food! So my goal is to get another 500$, 100 to make the 600$ move-in price, 200 for a new bed, 80 for a table and dresser, 120 for food.
Gift cards for Amazon, Walmart and Uber can also be sent to that email and will be put to good use!!
Thank you so much for reading, please donate if you are feeling generous and please reblog if you can’t!! Since he deleted my tumblr, this can’t reach near the audience it could before (ive got like 14 followers) so please please reblog!
I’ve got 10$ so far, and to clarify I only need around 100$ to move in! I have one week left!
