4 is the death number so today's AU is an Evil Poetry Smash in which they are Boring and Normal. Anti-Prouvaire is bored of life and wearing period-appropriate clothing, and Anti-Bahorel is… a law professor???

recent epidemic of adaptations that take lots of liberties with the source material and also, separately, are bad. but then if you say "this is bad" you get hit with "you're just being a source material purist and you don't understand the vision"...like. well actually I think it rules when people do new and different things with classic works. I just think these particular new and different things suck ass.
TIL the reason you don’t find much Lyme’s Disease in California is not because we don’t have Ticks, or Lyme Disease Vectors; but rather: because the Western Fence Lizard (if you live anywhere in California this is your regular Garden Variety Lizard) has adapted a passive immune response that makes their blood lethal to Lyme Disease Bacteria. Any Tick that feeds on one gets its gut cleansed of Lyme Disease as a side effect.
Fucking neat.
There is a new vaccine going into Phase 3 trials from Valneva and Pfizer as well as a monoclonal antibody-based prophylactic treatment being researched at UMass!
"the only cure for this weird disease is the special lizard blood" is a Star Trek TOS plot that escaped into the real world
O you, who my sophism flattered, rocked, caressed, soothed!... who found so much delight in watching me lead corruption in a triumphal chariot; who have joyfully watched the honest people suffer, for everything that is honest in my book suffers, and who in blind fate may have believed with me for a moment in impunity! cast beneath your feet this gentle lie!--hide your hideous face behind your guilty hands!--Cower! yes, cower! for the hour is coming when all these misfortunes I have sung alongside mounds of others shall tilt the platter of God's wrath!--for God is stirring up a punishment like the blacksmith in his smithy as we speak!--for soon the bells will toll for a huge expiation, in a mournful, appalling, horrible tone! for God and the people,--these two formidable labourers, will get to work, will get started on the job!--and just as them their work shall be terrible! The monarchy will be counting its orgies for a long time before God!--and its henchmen! the people will wring them in their powerful hands like a rag! Not one secret complaint, not one tear shed in the shadows, not one stifled sigh, not one drop of blood that God does not gather--and weigh--and avenge! They all are grains of powder gathering beneath the projectile, and that make the blow all the more powerful, all the more dreadful when the day for the explosion has come! It is because of these tiny and partial causes that empires are overthrown!
Madame Putiphar (1839), Pétrus Borel
the thing about javert in the book is he’s a coen bros character
like I’m realizing no adaptation has effectively captured what a bizarre creature this man truly is.
every time this man gets sufficiently motivated by something the sinnerman break starts playing and his eyes get a little bit wider. he probably has a weird run. victor hugo just didn’t mention it bc it’s so self-evident.
imagine you’re a generally regular person who has to talk to him. like oh yeah here comes this incredibly imposing guy with the strangest facial hair/regular hair combo you’ve seen in a hot minute with a really stony, intense expression through most of the conversation but then he laughs partway through and he suddenly looks like he’s about to eat you. this lasts about three seconds. you suspect he’s gay. just kind of an ambient feeling. if he’s in a good mood he snorts tobacco off the back of his hand mid-conversation.

it's been a million years (eleven months) since I posted anything here - I'm alive and well but have been working on other projects, including a graphic novel that I think will appeal to enjoyers of Watson's Sketchbook (more information on that...later). To tide you over, here's a little pre-Reichenbach snippet, made on the theme of 'Home' for the Very Sincerely Yours zine @very-sincerely-yours-zine - thank you for asking me to participate! It looks like copies of the full zine are sold out but PDFs are available here!
happy sometimes you just want something so hard you have to lie about it so you can hold it in your mouth for a minute monday

A most curious sight… the two moths are native to entirely different continents, yet naturalists observed one perched atop the other as they presumably made their way towards Hijinks! (Poetry Smash Moth AU because man, I love moths)
Bugs under the cut! Prouvaire is an Indian lily moth (Polytela gloriosae) and Bahorel is an Atlas moth (Attacus atlas).

my favorite flavor of true exr understanding is that enjolras is a genuinely very empathetic person who feels a lot of feelings and gets very close to the people around him, he just also has the ability to shut most of it down when needed. he literally cries in the book. he is feeling so many things at all times, and most of it is passion and empathy. im not saying that hes necessarily in touch with his emotions or good at expressing them, but he certainly doesnt shy away from them. he loves his friends, his people, and his country. grantaire however is the master deflector 5000. hes the guy who dodges compliments like the plague and drags down the whole function by talking about how worthless he is. he can be honest with his emotions, but not earnest. he compliments enjolras constantly and talks about his admiration and loyalty to him, but if he thought anything would actually come of it hed just stop. he can talk shit all he wants but as soon as enjolras talks back he clams up and starts fawning. he insults his friends because anything else is too genuine. hes like writhing around on the floor BEGGING to be seen and validated but as soon as anyone actually does it makes him uncomfortable. its so beautiful. autism guy and cringeman united in literary fiction 5ever and into eternity

as humiliating as it is to repost myself from a light-mode-user's reddit screenshot, i cannot allow this year's zenquish to go uncelebrated.
celebrate my favorite holiday with me, my friends.
if the emperors of rome can add extra months that actually fuck the calendar up i'm allowed to add a new month that lasts 0.0000 picoseconds
the last holiday that hasn't been commercialized
i made this up when i was a little kid and nothing would make me happier than to see people celebrating it for years to come
zenquish approaches. prepare to rejoice! briefly!
It's almost Zenquish, everybody!

saw an ad outside a local restaurant that said "have a star-crossed dinner this valentine's day"
do...do people not know being star-crossed is bad?
"come here and have a dinner that's cursed by fate"
