So my university was blockaded yesterday morning (the first blockade of the year! which is surprising since we usually blockade a lot, but our campus is notoriously hard to block) which made me think a little, I ended up doodling a little blockading Enjolras, continuing my tradition of enjolras headcanons that arent headcanons at all but rather just a projection of my uni experience.
Anyway, hope you like it :).
By the way, since blockades ARE political, my university (Paris 1) is protesting the passing of a new internal reform that would make it significantly harder for underprivileged students to continue studying, and would further social selectivity in higher education, which has been an issue in France since the implementation of the ORE law in 2018: The reform aims to cancel the ability to retake your finals, doesn’t allow for compensation between subjects or semesters (aka if you fail one subject you fail the entire year) and would only allow you to skip class if you have either a serious illness, if a close family member has passed, or if you have a competitive exam.
This new reform is obviously ridiculous, and would mostly affect students who are already in difficult situations. According to surveys led by students, approximately 26% (if I remember correctly) of students would not have been able to pass the school year if not for grade compensations, final exam retakes and allowed absences.
If you have the time of day, do consider signing this petition :3

Imagine having a best friend who has read the same book and now you both are happily (crying-ly) discussing this book in your nearby café with a cat on your lap. Beautiful but I'm lonelyyy with this book in my head. Still love it.

"You know, love doesn't mean "l never want you to change." But I don't think it means "I don't care if you change" either. So I suppose it might mean, "I believe that you'll always be the person I adore." A declaration of faith, perhaps."
