Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

i find the idea of platonic soul mates so fucking amazing, like imagine finding someone who you feel complete with but you don’t have to worry about losing them to messy romance because they’ll be your best friend forever instead

Anonymous asked: For the shipping meme: Les Mis Bonus Round: MCU

Just one second, buddy.  *buries face in pillow and screams*  SOMEONE DID THE THING NO ONE DOES THE THING.  *emerges from pillow, straightens clothes* I’m good, I’m fine, let’s do this.

LES MIS  (actually I have next to nothing on my Tumblr for this musical and I should have things because I have approximately all of the feelings)

• lowkey otp
  I think Joly, Bousset, and Musichetta are pretty.  Fucking.  Cute.  Okay?  Okay.  Also I kinda like Jean Valjean/Javert but…like…I have some concerns about those two.  Valjean/Fantine is kinda cute, too.
• highkey notp
  Okay, it’s not that I don’t love Marius in all his uselessness, but Eponine/Marius is a NO because my poor angry vicious street girl Deserves Better Than This Oblivious Fuck.  (Also because I think he’s good for/with Cosette, but look, Eponine is my favorite hardcore-as-fuck character and I feel like she just…wanted so much for Marius to be the love of her life that she forgot to wonder if she actually wanted Marius and if she had considered that I think she would have come to a ‘no,’ yes?  Also because she deserves someone whose response to their girlfriend going out to kick ass is “HEART EYES MOTHERFUCKER” and not slamming their head into a tree for two hours.)
• [softly] don’t notp
  I just…any configuration of Combeferre/Enjolras or Courfeyrac/Enjolras or…ai, I think I found Combeferre/Grantaire once and I was just like.  Listen honey.  Look at your life.  Also: do not ship Gavroche with people, he is a child, seek Jesus.
• highkey otp but i’m scared of saying it because it’s not a very popular choice
  I am THE MOST boring.  I mean…like…I found Valjean/Fantine that one time like I said and that has the potential to be super cute but I don’t know if it’s strictly speaking ‘unpopular,’ yanno?  Otherwise I got nothing.
• highkey otp and anyone on my tumblr knows it
  Okay, see previous re: not putting a lot of Les Mis on Ye Olde Blogge, but…ENJOLRAS/GRANTAIRE.  THE IDEALIST REVOLUTIONARY GOD AND HIS CYNICAL DRUNKEN WORSHIPER.  THAT’S MY DUMPSTER OF CHOICE AND I SHALL NOT BE MOVED.  I just…let me put it this way, my roommate inflicted this movie on me and less than fifteen minutes after it was done I turned to her and went “Do you want to feel feelings?”  She said no, obviously, and I ignored her, obviously, and I went “King and Lionheart, for Enjolras and Grantaire.”  And there…there was some keening.  And some violence.  I am just a complete sucker for the ‘I would rather die at your side than live in a world without you’ dynamic, a COMPLETE sucker, like if you quiz me on ships, I will have a lot of those ships.

MCU (Marvel is never the bonus round, Marvel is the assumed-to-exist round)

• lowkey otp
  Started out not a huge fan of Steve/Bucky, and I’ve kind of reconsidered, have now gotten to the point of ‘I’ll take literally any configuration of these two fucks.’  Darcy Lewis/Literally Almost Anyone, but especially Natasha Romanoff (it is my JAM and it is so RARE and it is FRUSTRATING).  AND ALL OF THE CANON SHIPS.  Like, okay, Tony/Pepper?  CUTE.  AS.  SHIT.  SIGN ME THE FUCK UP.  Jane/Thor?  LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING HEART-EYES.  SHE’S SO TINY AND CUTE AND HE’S SO BIG AND ENRAPTURED.  Sam Wilson/A Large Whiskey, because God know’s he’s earned it.  Peggy/Steve (do not touch me I am not okay I will never be okay again) and also Peggy/Being Better Than Everyone.  Matt Murdock/Making Better Choices (way to get a less flimsy suit, babe, proud of you).  And (this isn’t a canon ship but it SHOULD BE) Bucky/Warm Blankets/Affection From Friends.  I really want them to do Wanda/Vision.  Bruce/Betty Ross (I would fight you for Betty Ross’ dignity and honor, but she would probably just hand me her lab coat and do it herself while I swooned, okay).  OH BUT LEST I FORGET.  I DO NOT SHIP ALL THE CANON SHIPS.  WHICH LEADS US TO…
• highkey notp
  BRUCE.  AND.  NATASHA.  And like the thing is I can’t even sit here and be like “Oh, well, I ship this other thing and I just can’t give it up” because, while I DO ship another thing (Clintasha), I’ve been a-okay with ships being broken up from time to time.  No no, all my problems are about execution and inherent issues with characters and the sudden disappearance of Betty Ross.  I have a fucking THESIS, okay, and like ten single-spaced pages of it are “So you want to sell a relationship between a man who doesn’t trust professional liars and a woman who is a professional liar and furthermore who demonstrably struggled with the fact that she was actively afraid of the Hulk, and you’re not going to offer us ANY backstory, you’re just going to fucking drop this in our lap and expect us to take it and run with it.”  Another, like, five pages are “HOW YOU DONE FUCKED UP WITH NATASHA CONSIDERING HERSELF A MONSTER” and there’s like THIRTY FIVE pages about “WHY is this ham-fisted relationship necessary for women to ‘connect with the movie’, and why did you have to structure it as Natasha existing solely to soothe all of Bruce’s issues and then there’s that scene at the end where she’s pining and that’s not at all consistent with her personality.”  And there’s about ten more pages about how I feel like Bruce has had a disservice done to him (given that most of this is about how I feel like Nat had a disservice done to her) and an entire chapter titled “Why Did You Feel The Farm Thing Was Necessary If Clint Was Not Involved.”  And the whole thing is titled “WHERE THE FUCK WAS BETTY ROSS” because if you’re so determined to put Bruce in a romantic relationship why not add another BAMF scientist to your crew.  And honestly I’m not interested in getting anon hate for this, so if you ship it, hey, live your life, and please feel free to depart quietly, I’m not going to stop you or call you names, but I’d damn well appreciate the same courtesy.
• [softly] don’t notp
  Steve/Tony…I just can’t.  Like.  Live your lives guys.  I’m not gonna stop you.  But I just can’t.  Also Tony/Bruce.  Same thing.  Also Loki/Tony or Loki/Natasha (noooooooope).  Wanda/Pietro.  Peggy Carter/Jack Thompson.
• highkey otp but i’m scared of saying it because it’s not a very popular choice
  Is it redundant at this point to say Bruce/Betty?  But in addition to that, I quite like Bruce/Darcy.  Pepper/Tony seems weirdly unpopular for being so adorable.  I mean…I’m pretty open about my ships.
• highkey otp and anyone on my tumblr knows it
  Clint and Natasha.  Because their backstory is so interesting and they’re so in sync and they’re so desperate to save each other at the cost of all else.  I tend to think that when she’s talking to Loki and he says “Your world hangs in the balance and you bargain for one man” there’s a part of her that’s like “…yeah, you’re damn right I do, what do I need to do to get him back” and she only backs down when she knows that Clint is coming to HER and she can get him back by force.  Honestly fuck ‘enemies to lovers,’ give me ‘I literally almost killed you once to I’d literally burn the world to the ground for you.’  I also really like the dynamic of “Person A can play 12 different instruments, got into Harvard, and is organized, and Person B once ate 15 cold hot pockets at once, trips over the laces of their shoes, and claims they can fight 2000 bees” and I hardcore feel that for Clint/Nat.  I have a gifset to that exact effect on the blog somewhere.

Salvete, Gaius Iuli'us Caesar sum et pilorum album quam nivem habeo et aureos, sed interdum virides lauros et imperium Romanum construxi et eius eram quasi primus Caesar (sic merui nomen meum) et multi indicant mihi me Marcus Crassus similem esse (si non scitis Marcus Crassus, vobis opus est pecunia). Brutus non est filius meus quod est bonum nam ET TU, MI FILI???!?. Iamia sum sed dentes albos et rectos habeo. Pallidam cutem habeo. Etiam, maga sum magicum ludum, nomine Pigverruca, visitans quod desinam (ego sum MMCXIV), veni, vidi, vici. Classicus sum (si vos id non suspexistis) et multas togas emptas in Basilica Iulia habeo. Ratio amo et bellum Gallicum gero. Veluti, hodie omnia Gallia occupata. Omnia Gallia? Certe! Non est vicus parvus inter Aquarium, Babaorum, Laudanum et Brevisbonum. Ambulabam foris Pigverruca. Ninxit et pluvit et Gallia divisa erat in partes tres, quod me fecit felix. Marcus Porcius Cato me observavit. Digitum medium illo monstravi.

I wanted to take a minute to give a shout out to @words-writ-in-starlight, one of the most amazing people that i know. Today is her 19th birthday and I hope it was everything she could have hoped it would be.

To those who don’t know her: Go check out her blog. Not only does she have excellent taste in books and movies, she also has the best sense of humor and goes on the most informative, accurate and useful tangents and rants. If that isn’t a great sales pitch, I don’t know what is.

To those who already know her: You know what I’m talking about here. If you think she is as awesome as I think she is, maybe go let her know or wish her a happy birthday.

In an effort to take up less space on people’s dashes, I’m going to put my sappiness below the read more.

Keep reading

Oooooh nooooo, my platonic wife is too good to me, everyone look at how good my platonic wife is to me, she’s the best ever.  She listens to me yell about people and rant about my writing and about medicine and about religion and when we have bad days we lie on the floor together in our bras and stare at the ceiling and talk about deep stuff until terrible hours of the night.  That post I made about good things, she’s a good thing.  She’s the BEST thing.

Pros of ace friends:

“Netflix and chill” actually means watching a show and relaxing.

What is the other meaning?? Isn’t it supposed to actually mean watching a show and relaxing?

Apparently it’s supposed to mean “pretend like you’re inviting someone over for movies but it’s actually for sex.” So I’m definitely in the too asexual for this meme club.

-Mod Talie

Cons of being the ace friend:

You’re the only one who thinks ‘netflix and chill’ actually means watching a show and relaxing, and issuing invitations for such to others gets really awkward.

Fun story.  I’m not ace, but I AM oblivious, so I bounded up to my roommate/friend a few months back when Netflix and chill was first a THING and I was like “Hey, bro, buddy, comrade, you want to hide in the dorm room tonight and watch Netflix and chill?”  And there was at least one person near us who was like “This just in: we’ve officially confirmed that these two are banging.”  And I kind of blinked because, yeah, everyone and their brother thinks my roommate and I are banging (including her girlfriend and the girlfriend is…remarkably okay with this), but I had no idea how one thing had turned into the other, and my roommate had to sit down and explain it to me after she stopped laughing.
