Vivre libre ou mourir

i've been going to some workshops and book talks and panels and so on and like i don't want to devalue writing but it is a little funny to me how much writers and in particular novelists have to do this little song and dance about the social utility of their work and how books Inspire Hope and it's the most important thing anyone can do and it's saving the world and so on well what about Art. what about Loving Art

What a wonderful idea and composition! I have little portraits of Saint-Just, Camille, Léon, the Robespierre brothers, and Eléonore Duplay on my wall… but nothing like yours! This is super neat, citoyenne. 💕

that’s so cute!! i need to print out more pictures for it, bc these are just postcards

Unoriginal sin. Derivative sin

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

Pessimist: the glass is half empty Optimist: the glass is half full Optimates: therefore Carthage must be destroyed

what character(s) do you associate with the person you reblogged this from?

Lucile Desmoulins @ Camille

was blown away by the pure HUMANITY of The Drama. the at times painfully awkward interactions, dialogue that actually feels like real life, down to the awkward and ill-timed laughs, charlie's crash-out when he kissed misha, while obviously in the wrong it's a realistic depiction of a breakdown, the fear of marrying someone you don't actually know pushed to the extreme, not to mention the realism of what being forced into a small bubble on the internet can do to a child, forcing them into the belief that this is who they are, then the quick turnaround when emma finds a group that pops that bubble.
