During the June Rebellion,

Both Eponine and Cosette are sometimes ' at war with themselves '

While Eponine's ' war ' is external - scraping for her siblings, literally often physically fighting against her abusers, often resorting to violence as a form of self defense ( and that includes biting and stabbing ), carrying defense weapons wherever she went, even dressing up as a man to sneak into the June Rebellion barricades to help protect Marius

Cosette's ' war ' is internal - battling the trauma demons inside her head at times, fighting to keep peace with herself, literally passionately choosing a more peaceful lifestyle, and sometimes internally battling her inner demons

Both Eponine and Cosette also have a teetering danger to repeat a similar cycle as their biological mothers

Madame Thenardier is one of cruelty and hate

Fantine is one of suffrage, love and martyrdom

Luckily for many, Eponine and Cosette don't have to repeat a similar cycle as their bio mothers

Eponine's story became one of redemption

Cosette's story became one of hope

Perhaps sometimes you think "I wonder what that Neil Gaiman does on Fridays when he isn't answering questions on Tumblr?" So here is what I did last Friday... (Although there weren't 40 people in the crew. Only two).

Does Crowley actually destroy the "bad" plants?

I think not!

Neil Gaiman notably suggested once that he makes the shredder noise to frighten the plants, then sneaks the plant with leaf spots out and gives it to the old lady downstairs.

However, this was just in response to a question asking what could be told to a child who was upset by the scene, and so could not be considered canon. It does seem in character, but trying to be mindful of not headcanonning Crowley into too much of a meow-meow, I was prepared to believe either possibility.

But then, I was reading the book. And though much of the scene in the show was taken line for line, in the book it doesn't say he shreds the plants, or that the sound of a shredder is heard, or anything like that. It says he leaves the flat with the offending plant, and returns an hour or so later with an empty pot.

About the right amount of time to pop downstairs, have a chat and a cup of tea, and re-pot a plant, wouldn't you say? Hmmmmmmm.

#a cupperty if you will #it wouldn't be the first time something was “suggested” that later turned out to be canon: see Greasy Johnson #I need more content of Crowley and his wholesome friendship with the old lady downstairs #remember this is the same Crowley who canonically watches the Golden Girls #Tangent: much has been discussed on the subject of Crowley treating his plants as a mirror to the way Hell treats him:#This is also in the book: “It was the way they talked to you. As if you were a houseplant who had started shedding leaves on the carpet.”#good omens #crowley #anthony j crowley #good omens book #good omens meta

It's heartening sometimes to realize how incredibly ordinary historical figures looked. If you watch a bunch of period dramas, you come away thinking that history was made exclusively by shockingly attractive people---when actually, famous poets with burnished names look more like Jim, The Local Bank Manager; artists who broke the mold wouldn't look out of place scrolling through their phone on the subway. You could walk past the absurdly wealthy doyennes of society in the grocery store and never give them a second glance.

#have you ever seen a photograph of the mitford sisters?#they're just women. attractive women certainly! but regular degular good-looking ladies.#rossetti and apollinaire look like bank managers.#cassatt and shelley wouldn't warrant a second glance on the el.#.......the vanderbilts got lucky with gloria tbh #anyway these are the things I think about sometimes when I look in the mirror and feel very average.#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

Eponine sadly thought she was ' ugly ' for quite some time

Yet she is actually quite pretty, albeit in a ' non conventional ' way ( similarly with Grantaire's appearance )

It wasn't until she has her big coming of age and self discovery arc and she and her sibs be working to flee from Monsieur and Madame Thenardier

Did Eponine eventually and FINALLY realize that she is definitely NOT ugly and is actually beautiful in her own way

Cosette isn't really aware of her beauty for quite some time

In fact, when she first entered the convent, she is literally convinced, sadly, especially thanks to the horrid abuse and bullying she endured at Thenardier, thar she is, in her words, ' Absolutely downright hideous ' ( man that literally caused Valjean and ALL the nuns and gardeners in Petit Picpus to feel heartbroken for her especially THAT )

It wasn't until through a series of therapies and recovering from her malnutrition did Cosette eventually and FINALLY realize that she is most DEFINITELY not ugly. At all

And that one's inner character can improve or soil one's appearance

And then sometime after she and Valjean left the convent and moved into that house in Rue Plumet, Cosette soon discovers her own beauty

And that is an extra push to often wear feminine accessories and flowers on her hair and all CUZ SHE NEVER EVEN FUCKING GOT TO DO THAT DURING HER HORRID TIME AT THENARDIER INN

🤯🤯🤯🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭
