“For example, we often hear that necromancy was outlawed because it was a devilish practice that depended upon the power of Satan for its effectiveness. What you do not hear is that necromancy was an aspect of ancestor worship, and that part of outlawing it involved making it illegal to bury your family members on your own land. Suddenly, you were required to bury your dead in Church-sanctioned graveyards. This effectively removed one of your most solid claims to ownership of your ancestral land. It was no longer the place where you could prove your forefathers lay buried. It made it easier for authorities to come along and kick you out of your home and take state ownership of the land your family had left to you. This also supported the ultimate goal of breaking up family clans, and the political power and wealth that often went along with them.”
— Aaron Leitch, Folk Tradition and the Solomonic Revival; At the Crossroads
“Kill it in this scene, Javert! And by ‘it’ I mean yourself. Good luck, bud.”
Javert was rehearsing “Stars” and Valjean started harmonizing with him, and he just cut off bitterly
Grantaire drawing flowers all over Enjolras’s arm
During “The Beggars,” Marius is SUPPOSED to bump into Cosette. Well. Something went wrong and he ran into Valjean instead. So naturally he continued as if he had fallen in love with Valjean instead.
“Grantaire, what’s that?” “The barricade.” “It’s only one chair.” “It’s minimalistic.”
Additionally: “Jehan, the barricade doesn’t have to be symmetrical!” “But aesthetic, Enjolras!”
Courfeyrac filling in for Cosette during “A Heart Full of Love”
Jean Valjean accidentally called the police on himself
Joly: “Courfeyrac, every time you say something stupid, I’ll play another note of Chopsticks.” *gets through the entire song in one conversation*
Valjean: *pretends to jump off the bridge into the crowd* wHAT IS THIS FIGHTING ALL ABOUT
New favorite cast swears: “Holy mother of Marius!” “What in the name of Combeferre’s cravat-“ “Well, yeet me off a bridge and call me Javert!”
We have to reuse Les Amis a LOT, so like. Jehan and Lesgles singing about their own deaths in “Turning” is a big mood
Eponine shamelessly chugged a jar of pickle juice. An entire jar. Not even Courfeyrac could do that.
Marius is as tall as Valjean, so carrying him through the sewers isn’t working out too hot. There have been times where they give up and skip offstage with linked arms.
Everyone taking turns jumping off the bridge onto a giant mattress
We haven’t really figured out a great way to transport the dead characters offstage? So like Eponine will die, wait a minute, then get up and flash the audience some peace signs as she walks offstage
Gavroche has also done the worm offstage after her death scene.
Also, Gavroche did one death scene where she collapsed against Grantaire when she died and Grantaire looked so unprepared to deal with that. Not sad or anything, just completely baffled and highkey panicking
It’s really easy to annoy Courfeyrac and Enjolras by emphasizing the wrong syllables in their names- EnJOLras, CourFEYrac. Or by calling them “Oranges” and “Corey.”
Anytime there’s any minor inconvenience, everyone responds with “That’s why the revolution failed!” So like… “This costume is really uncomfortable” “That’s why the revolution failed!” Or “Shoot, I forgot to bring dinner.” “That’s why why the revolution failed.”
jane the virgin: portraying a bisexual man in a healthy relationship and slaying biphobes since 2017
It’s really interesting what she says “I can’t give you what a man can.” A lot of gay men avoid relationships with bi men because they worry that they can’t provide what a woman can. People, gay or straight, think that for a bi person the grass is always greener on the other side.
Straight men and lesbians have said the same. It’s insecurity rooted in the notion that bi people have all the options constantly at their fingertips AND are insatiable. We don’t choose a team, we choose a person. A failure to understand this mostly boils down to people not believing bisexuality is real.
