Which which ARMY got selected for a 1st row concert seat*? Here, [photos with] background 70% figure 30% [as you requested]

(T/N: *Grammar unclear, therefore message unclear. Translated literally: What what/which which 1st row ARMY won concert? + Post in reply to this ARMY request)

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

Obviously everyone is shocked but here’s a few important key facts:

The roof is completely gone. Part of it dated back from the 13th century but the rest was from the 19th. The stone arch roof under the top roof is fine.

One of the three main stained glass rose windows has fallen out. Most of the other stained glass windows are okay.

The spire has fallen down and that’s the saddest part. BUT! It was in the process of being restored and the 16 statues that were there were removed just four days ago! So they’re fine.

The main structure is still here and nothing has “burned down” unlike what some people have been saying.

The “treasure” (sacred objects) is safe.

it starts with ronan and noah

ronan: “gansey what are THOOOOSEEE”  gansey, with concern: “they’re my sperry’s, ronan.”

noah, throwing glitter into the air: “and there goes all the fucks i had to give”  gansey: starts googling ‘therapy for dead people’

noah: “we all die, you either kill yourself or get killed”  gansey, in friend panic: “noah???”

“ronan, for the last time-” “you should have killed me when you had the chance” “RONAN”

noah: “so like, nyah”  gansey: “what?” “nyah” “excuse me?”

ronan, walking through cabeswater: “hewwo? hewwo gwendower??? awe you thewe???” gansey dies instantly

eventually the rest of the gang gets involved

blue, pointing at a tide pod: “oh look my favorite snack”  gansey: “BLUE THOSE AREN’T EDIBLE”

chainsaw, hiding his socks: steal from the rich

(when moving in together) blue: “and they were roommates”  henry: “oh my god they were roommates”  gansey: “i’m excited too, guys”

adam, facing a minor inconvenience: “and there goes my will to live”  gansey, already making organic blueberry tea: “adam you know you can always talk to me, right??? you’re valued and i love you” 

*gansey and henry do something gay* blue: “are you serious? right in front of my salad?” gansey: “blue that’s yogurt”
