“Dedma” Has Been An Interesting Word For Me. I Never Personally Used It But It’s Been On My Mind

“Dedma” has been an interesting word for me. I never personally used it but it’s been on my mind for the longest time.

ignoring • the act of ignoring • feigning unawareness • short for "dead malice"

Like it doesn’t just mean ignoring!! It is used with the assumption that someone did you wrong. Like it specifically has something to do with someone who you are trying to be petty with. It’s inherently petty.

It’s interesting to me that we had to create words like these to describe this specific action. We couldn’t just say, “pabayaan mo na.” NO.

We created and use this word because we feel the need to acknowledge or recognize the idea that we are deliberately ignoring someone to keep our own peace, when in fact, we are being petty as hell.

Don’t you think that’s fucking interesting? We are so obsessed with the image of our lives that we try to describe our own experiences for other people in fear of them mischaracterizing us. We have to shape our slangs and language around the idea of being perceived.

We can’t just say we’re ignoring someone. No, we have to say that we’re ignoring them in spite of their shitty attitude. We have to make sure that we are in the right. This slang was so intentionally created for the sake of the “bigger person”.

That shit is interesting to me. To me, personally, I can never use this word because I can never be so petty, though I wish I could. “Dedma.” Wow. Using this word really does give you the image of the bigger person.

“ships should at least make sense.” no. ships can make sense, sure. but they’re just fictional characters we play with for fun. they’re fantasies, not a fucking thesis paper. so no, they don’t always have to make sense. they just have to make you happy (or horny).

let people enjoy (fictional) things however they want to enjoy.

A Les Mis meme saying "girls when", with the second part of it edited so that it says "girls when ' It was Éponine. (...) Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone: “It strikes me that I know that girl.”

The image depicts poorly drawn stick figures violently biting each other, in pools of blood. They look feral
A poorly drawn meme of a person standing in a corner at a party while other people are dancing. The text says 'they don't  know Javert and Eponine 'trade deaths.' Eponine constantly talks about drowning herself in the Seine but is shot at the barricades, while Javert plans to be shot at the barricades but eventually drowns himself in the Seine
Pepe Silvia meme of a man standing in front of a conspiracy board gesturing wildly. There are two quotes from Les Mis on the board. The first is "Eponine said: I’m not the daughter of a dog, since I’m the daughter of a wolf. (….)If you approach, I’ll bark. I told you, I’m the dog."

The second quote is " in every litter of wolves there is one dog, which is killed by the mother because, otherwise, as he grew up, he would devour the other little ones. Give to this dog-son of a wolf a human face, and the result will be Javert."
Seinfeld meme. In panel one Jerry asks 'you're crying from Javert and Eponine?" In panel 2 George responds: Eponine is the “shadow” of Cosette in the way that Javert is the “shadow” of Jean Valjean. Eponine’s trauma parallels Javert’s, the way that Cosette’s trauma parallels Jean Valjean’s. Eponine is (like Javert) the child of criminals who turns against her parents to defend bourgeois society,  the way Cosette  (like Valjean) lived in dire poverty and was a ‘prisoner’ threatened with a whip. 

But being a cop has made Javert unable to care about people from his class-- so Eponine is never a child he can help, she’s just a criminal he can punish. Javert fails to save “his Cosette....” because he never even tried.

He sees Eponine’s corpse at the barricade and recognizes her-- he’s one of the few people in the novel who ever recognizes her!-- but he feels nothing.

Feeling normal about Javert and Eponine today

one more thing about modern aus is that they'll go on about enjolras giving these long inspiring speeches for the majority of the vague meetings about the undefined cause which is so. in the books he is not on the stage preaching to everyone during most of the pre-barricade scenes. like its kind of made a point that he is either having actual conversations or just listening to what everyone else is saying. like yes he does give orders and instructions that he'll pre-face with a little speech but like. normally he's listening to others opinions before giving his own two cents. i think sometimes people just see the word leader and they can't imagine a version of that that isn't someone else forcing their thoughts and will onto a group of people.

a small super deformed drawing of Bossuet, joky and musixhetta from les Miserables around an old school computer. joly is laying down on the top of the screen and using his cane to press on a key, while an orange cat is trying to catch his cane. musichetta is playing hopscotch on the keys. bossuet's foot has caught on cables sticking out of the floppy reader and he's falling down, scaring a black cat.

Have you noticed that JMB is one letter away from IBM ? Because I sure did, and that's what you got.

That was fun to draw.

The computer is 100% my Divoom speaker with a few more buttons. I love it.

That one was for @jbm-week ! Spread the JBM love !
