The One Where Aaron Stood Above Everyone
He might have been trying to give them a rousing speech. #aaronjolras
This was based on this post… and I died doing this because, ugh, feels *creys*
I don’t think fanart has affected me this strongly before. This is so powerful. Thank you, to you and the prompt OP.
I’ve been reading for the last hour about the poverty on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. It’s enough to make anyone feel like a complete asshole for ever complaining about what they don’t have.
I’ve seen poverty in Appalachia, but that doesn’t seem to even come close to this poverty.
In Wounded Knee, with a population of 382, males had a median income of $0, and the per capita income for the CDP was only $2,403. A whopping 80 percent of the population was below the poverty line.
There’s also deep problems with gangs, alcoholism, and teen suicide.
Photographer Aaron Huey has some amazing images from a National Geographic shoot, found here. He captured the photo above.
And the nonprofit Trees, Water & People have volunteer programs to provide employment and assistance to Native American families living in Tribal Lands. See a video here.
A few days ago in zero period you asked the class
Why would anyone want to not associate themselves with their ethnic background?
This link is my reason why. I’m not like my friends who get to go to their countries of origin and come back with stories of how amazing it was. My heart hurts just thinking about visiting Pine Ridge Reservation. And no one I know can possibly understand.
THAT’S IT AARON! OWN THAT STAGE
last night during the les mis performance most of the cast were chill
anne and hugh smiled and nodded at each other
amanda and eddie had a little cute smiling moment when they were singing and when he was holding her at the end
russell cracked a smile at the audience because the crowd cheered really hard for him
samantha barks had the biggest smile on her face when she was singing the chorus and you could see how happy and proud she was to be a part of it
BUT NOT AARON TVEIT
AARON DOESN’T SMILE
AARON DOESN’T NOD
AARON WALKS ONTO THAT STAGE WITH ALL THE CONFIDENCE OF THE COMMANDER OF A REVOLUTION
THE REST OF THE CAST IS PERFORMING A SONG BUT AARON IS PLANNING AN UPRISING IN HIS MIND YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES
BECAUSE THAT WAS NOT AARON
THAT WAS ENJOLRAS
