characters in les mis (musical) ranked on how good their introductions were:

jean valjean: 9/10 he actually says his name and like . conveniently gives us his backstory while talking to javert which was nice

javert: 10/10 literally says his name and then says "do not forget my name" so forcefully i managed to not forget his name immediately so that was good

the bishop: 5/10 solid but not enough context. could've used a whole five minute song about only him beforehand tbh (kidding i swear)

fantine: 9/10 she does have people say her name which is good, she doesn't say it directly but like she does fill in her situation well. also i would feel bad for giving her a low score since her intro is literally her having a horrible time

bamatabois: 3/10 he never says his name and he's a huge asshole . only gets a three because it conveyed his character well + javert was there. but he also gets a three because i hate him

fauchelevent: 10/10 because. it's the runaway cart man . best song in les mis. also they do say his name so it works

cosette: 10/10 her name is said over and over again before she's even onstage + her introduction really shows the bleakness of the situation she lives in with the thénardiers

mme thénardier: 8/10 she doesn't say her name but it is a good introduction nonetheless . 8/10 instead of 9/10 because it isn't like. my favorite favorite but it is good

eponine: 6/10 controversial but sorry. i feel like they introduce us to eponine as kind of a brat (with her name which is nice) and even maybe as helping her mother directly to hurt cosette whereas we don't get a good enough reintroduction to her character in act two that gives us a better idea of her character as someone who's arguably just as hurt by the thénardiers as cosette. it's still okay though

m thénardier: 10/10 they say his name and then immediately he gets master of the house? it's a good introduction to the fact he's a big old thief and it's also kind of a bop. no notes

gavroche: 10/10 his name is in his first line. and it gives you a very good impression of him. i don't have any notes alright . i mean they kinda give the impression he's not related to thénardier but i can't fault them for not including that since it's not a HUGE plot point

enjolras: 2/10 i genuinely do not think anyone ever adresses this guy by name. i only remembered he was supposed to be there after i watched the play and then had to hunt down the actor's name in my playbill so i could see if i remembered him. like he just felt like another member of les amis tbh. two points because at least he's still characterized well

marius: 5/10 we hear his name from enjolras and because we get no context for his life before this point he feels so damn uninteresting... like all we get is the "ooh marius is in looove" without ANY context of his life outside of that. literally just there to fall in love with cosette and it shows

les amis de l'abc: 4/10 i am grouping them together because they literally get NO distinguishing qualities from each other in their introductions. grantaire making fun of someone is alright for things grantaire would do but like. can we not give that to courfeyrac?? why are all of them such non characters in this introduction?? like at least we get a few name drops from enjolras but i am just not really a fan. courfeyrac should be in here more since marius lives with him but i guess that doesn't matter because marius had his whole backstory surgically removed to make room for the brick to not be a million year long play. whatever. probably why lesgle gets nothing either despite the fact he introduced marius to les amis. didn't know this got on my nerves so much

patron-minette: 5/10 i mean. it's AN introduction but also to be fair i can't get mad too much since they're not major characters+ they are kinda interchangeable in the end. only montparnasse got a name drop but they did also keep my favorite eponine moment largely intact so. eh. whatever they get a five for being mediocre

#les mis #les miserables #these are just my opinions and they're very biased (see the fact that fauchelevent gets a 10/10)#but i'll put em out there lol

for anyone wondering, i saw the les mis us tour last night in DC and it. was. CRAZY. i’ve seen the tour a few times in my life and i noticed some new things so here we go:

~~ spoilers ~~

- petit gervais was actually shown in the prologue when JVJ gets out of jail, he has some line like “but monsieur!” before being shooed away

- batambois actually hits fantine with his cane, knocks her down, and kicks her multiple times before she reaches up and scratches his face (i feel like i usually see him grab her arm or something instead of actually hitting her?)

- the other lovely ladies whores are all freaking out and trying to protect fantine from batambois and the pimp men people are actively holding them back and letting him hit her

- JVJ and javert have the gayest little moment of holding a handshake before “forgive me sir i would not dare” for a solid 30 seconds

- fantine shoots up and hugs JVJ in the line before she dies and stays there until he lays her dead body back down

- mme. thenardier was just so wonderful. i loved her

- gavroche has this entire moment with javert after the robbery, yelling “yeah! clear the streets! that means you too!” (said to a cop), and when the only two people left on stage are him and javert, he completely squares up to him and then salutes and it’s a really sweet moment. it also makes little people so much more impactful because they actually recognize each other then

- enjolras has a visceral reaction to eponine and marius speaking and he hasn’t even met cosette yet. enj turns to speak to marius and sees him talking to ep and throws his hands up in the air like, SO frustrated because MARIUS THE REVOLUTION IS COMING.

- red and black is BEAUTIFUL. the entire ensemble respects enjolras so much and it’s very obvious. “marius, you’re late” is not sung and so deadpan and so enjolras.

- R gives gav his bottle after javert’s arrival and it’s really funny

- grantaire does not take his eyes off of enjolras until drink with me. at all.

-when eponine dies, gavroche turns suddenly and sees her dying and grantaire SHOOTS up and grabs him and sits in the corner with him. it’s beautiful

- R does not touch a gun at all for the entire show. whenever anyone starts shooting, he hides behind the barricade or he grabs javert in custody but he never fights at all

- when gav dies, R throws a goddamn fit and does not leave his body until enjolras is about to be shot.

- when enj dies, he climbs up the barricade and is backlit and R is sitting at the bottom of the barricade reaching upwards, and when enj is shot, he falls backwards off of the barricade and out of sight. when this happens, R climbs the barricade with no gun, just enough so his head is exposed, and gets shot and slides down the barricade. it’s very “no one loves the light like a blind man”

- when javert is picking through the bodies looking for JVJ, another officer is wheeling a cart for dead bodies, and it ONLY has enjolras in it, hanging upside down just like aaronjolras in the window. javert heaves gav’s body on top of his and wheels them both off. (i heard multiple audible gasps during this, assumedly from the other enjolras girlies like myself)

- enj and R are beside each other for empty chairs until they cross and they’re directly facing each other instead

-during the wedding song, the line “this one’s a queer, but what can you do” is changed to “this one’s a queer, i might try it too” before thenardier waltzes with a male ensemble member for like 4 bars before finishing the song

- there is a lot of rich people laughing as a bit and thenardier cues to the conductor and counts them off like 3 separate times

- the finale is beautiful as always, JVJ and the dead bishop hug before everyone just lines up in formation (R and enj are both holding one of gav’s hands on either side)

- in conclusion: i cried

If anyone else has seen the tour and would like to add little things they noticed, please do in the tags!!

Okay so looking at the word frequency list for Les Miserables available on intratext dot com, here are some words that stood out to me (although everyone could look at this list and would find something different and interesting):

9589 il (he)

2556 elle (she)

2089 je (I)

1182 homme (man)

906 Marius (more than any other character but to be fair, other characters are frequently referred to by aliases)

727 Jean

685 Cosette

680 Valjean (There are 47 more Jeans than Valjeans!)

520 Père (Father, or in some cases, something like "old man")

508 Thénardier

454 Enfant (child) (plus there's 193 uses of children)

384 yeux (eyes) (157 instances of eye singluar)

364 femme (woman, wife)

349 mère (mother)

346 main (hand)

340 voix (voice)

338 dieu (god)

337 vieux (old, masc.) (194 old, fem.)

334 Paris

321 Hugo (actually this is a huge outlier. Hugo doesn't appear many times in the text at all, but it's in a lot of footnotes and the footnotes also get counted)

315 Javert

313 évêque (bishop)

283 Gavroche

270 maison (house)

267 Madeleine

251 mort (dead)

227 jardin (garden)

226 Fauchelevent

224 ombre (shadow)

221 Fantine

189 coeur (heart)

184 matin (morning)

176 lumière (light)

170 amour (love)

161 Courfeyrac

157 France

153 Napoléon

144 Révolution

133 Enjolras

129 eh

117 waterloo

116 barricade

83 dents (teeth)

81 Eponine (I was surprised there was more Courfeyrac and Montparnasse than Eponine!)

79 Grantaire

79 terrible (This is about where I got bored of scrolling but there were a couple words that I think of as quintessential Hugo that I had to look up also)

46 lugubre (lugubrious)

24 sépulcre (sepulchre)

20 lugubres (lugubrious make it plural)

19 spectre (Dumas complained that Hugo used "spectral" every ten pages, although spectral actually only appears twice but I see his point)

13 spectres

7 lugubrement (lugubriously)

4 sépulcral (sepulchral, plus three more instances but feminine)

3 spectrale

2 spectral

Thoughts on 'Book 4: Saint Denis'

Finished Book 4: Saint Denis last night. My notes from the last few chapters (abridged!!!!!)

-Jean Valjean about to fucking kill Marius (but doesnt its complicated)

-Javert being a sassy bitch

~"Jean Valjean took a knife out of his pocket, and opened it. "You are right," exclaimed Javert, "that suits you better"

~"[Javert:] 'Do you think I deserve a reward?' [Enjolras:]"Certainly" "Well, I ask one. To blow out that mans brains myself." Javert raised his head, saw Jean Valjean, made an imperceptible movement, and said: "That is appropriate".

~"Do you need anything?" Enjolras asked him. "I am uncomfortable at this post," answered Javert. "It was not kind to leave me to pass the night here. Tie me as you please, but you can surely lie me on a table."

-Marius kissing Eponines forehead (her last wish) and being like 'this aint cheating on cosette yknow like its different"

~"This was not an infidelity to Cosette; it was a thoughtful and gentle farewell to an unhappy soul."

-Gavroche. That's it. Gavroche. (and the way he's described.)

-"[Jean Valjean] 'Have you brought the letter I am waiting for?' 'You?" said Gavroche. 'You are not a woman.'"

-Not a note on the actual like storyline but since my book cut out like all of Les Amis the 'Book' ends with "They were all killed, Enjolras the last." There's no actual description of his death (yknow lack of grantaire) and me personally? I think thats foul.

Thats the stuff that stuck out if I'm missing anything add in tags!

#les mis #reading #victor hugo #gavroche #marius pontmercy #les miserables #jean valjean #javert #these chapters were a whirlwind for sureee #y'all i am not ready to finish this book #lowkey wanna cry #i am agog #i am aghast #did they really cut out grantaires dramatic ass(es)?

Les Mis Characters Hugs Rated Because I'm Going Through Some Stuff I Guess

What even is this

Enjolras: 4/10

Acts weird during any type of physical contact I think. Wouldn't know how to even hug properly

Combeferre: 8/10

Great hugger. The fact that he constantly wears sweaters in my head's modern era is a plus

Courfeyrac: 11/10

Do I even need to explain, this is common knowledge

Grantaire: 9/10

Smells like booze and weed but otherwise, pretty good

Joly: 6/10

Look, don't blame them, they're a germaphobe

Bossuet: 7/10

Don't rly know how to justify this but yeah

Jehan: 10/10

Smell either like weed or flowers, or both

Feuilly: 8/10

Very warm, great hugs

Bahorel: 6/10

This boi right here often puts more strength in his hugs than expected, so you may suffocate a bit

Marius: 3/10

Rarely hugs. Literally dude, what is this

Eponine: 7/10

She's also not the hugger type but she's quite good at it

Cosette: 9/10

Smells so nice literally ughhhhh

Musichetta: 8/10

Nothing else to add, if you agree, you agree

Jean Valjean: 100/10

Big hugs. Bear hugs. Dad hugs. And he hugs a lot

Javert: -1/10

Doesn't do hugs. You know he doesn't

Fantine: 10/10

Ok but *chef's kiss*

Montparnasse: 2/10

Has he ever hugged anyone? Maybe. Will you see him doing so again? Probably not

Gavroche: 7/10

Smol. He says he hates hugs but you know he loves them.

I don’t ship most of these myself , but your rant/ramble posts on Les Mis ships are funny so I genuinely wanted your opinion on these 👁

1. Enjoltaire

2. Valvert

3. Enjonine

4. Marisette (or whatever Marius x Cosette was called)

5. Javonine (Javert and…Eponine 😭)

6. Marionine (A name a just guessed for Marius x Eponine because I wasn’t bothered to look it up)

7. and uhhh.. Granjonine (I think that was the name)

well hello darling! i live to entertain lol lets get into it i might have to put this under a cut because i think its obvious i have a rambling issue

Enjoltaire : a classic for good reason. they seemed really base level to me at first because i watched the movie first, but once i read the brick and really saw their dynamic i fell for them HARD. for me the beauty of this pairing is really rooted in the substance of their individual characters as opposed to like a romantic relationship. idk its so difficult for me to verbalize why i love them so much i think i just love the idea of finding common ground despite difficulties. enjolras and grantaire mirror each other in such a beautiful way that i feel the musical/movie couldn't really capture without demoting it to a puppy love grantaire/mean enjolras dynamic idk i have such an issue with some portrayals of them because i feel like they create a victim/abuser situation where there wasn't one but that's like a whole post within itself anyway i feel like im getting incoherent i love exr with every fiber of my fucking being just read the brick if you don't get it ok the movie and musical just dont do it justice and for the love of god avoid the fics written in 2012/2013 after the movie hype its all wRONGGGG (i love you george blagden but you created a twink grantaire movement) (they pull each others pigtails okay its a mutual obsession) (enjolras why don't you just ignore him baby? glutton for punishment my dear we all know if you hated him you wouldn't let him hang around) (anyway) i should make a seperate post about my exr feelings bc i could talk ab them for hours

2. Valvert: okay this is where i feel like i can be unpopular with the fandom. i fucking hate this ship. like physically, spiritually, all that. its one of those that i kinda lose respect for the person bc its literally a cop/prisoner thing. its not enemies to lovers. its not a hate love thing. javert's a fucking cop. valjean is his victim. the whole idea of people romanticizing this makes me feel so insanely icky and i think the point of the story has just gone RIGHT over some folks' heads please take a step back and think about it. neolib behavior sorry not sorry

3. Enjonine: enjolras is gay. just like, straight up in the brick enjolras is a gay man. this ship is spawned from straight girls who saw aaron tveit and use eponine as their not like other girls posterchild. just a whole bunch of hetero nonsense. same behavior as the joseph quinn enj x reader bs. honey thats a homosexual man and can we please stop reducing eponine to needing a boyfriend she needs a stable home and a goddamn therapist fucking hell

4. Marisette: okay. i LOVE THEM. i'm a cosette stan myself, and i'm a huge fan of a gooey love at first sight situation. they contrast my love for exr in the sense that they're a very easy love. their parts in the book literally make me SWOOOOOON i can put aside my beef with marius as a combeferre kin to appreciate how sweet they are

5. Javonine??: im sorry wh aht. did the snape x hermione shippers leak into the lm fandom or am i being fucking punked im not discussing this its obvious why this is wrong please tell me its obvious y'all are NASTY

6. Marionine: eh. eh. i mean, like i said with enjonine eponine's problems are not gonna be solved with a dude. i'm really not opposed to them, persay, its just that eponine's love for marius is so incredibly dependent and rooted more in her personal trauma than actual love, so i feel a little weird with them sometimes. sometimes it just gives anti cosette vibes (cough cough bc of the bullshit love triangle angle that the musical markets cough cough) so i tread very carefully with them

7. Granjonine: again what in the damn hell. i'm not dignifying this shit they could be besties but for the love of god george blagden did a number on the straight girls. STOP PROJECTING ONTO EPONINE IM GONNA LOSE MY FUCKING MIND LEAVE HER ALONE

thanks for the ask lovely, i do love rambling even though these ships are baffling lmaoooo

As a french person who read les misérables at school but has never watched the movie/musical, I'm quite curious about what has attracted many (foreign) people to it. Feel free to rant and share your thoughts, I'm genuinely curious

OH GOD OKAY LOOK HERE'S THE THING FIRST OF ALL the musical is absolutely incredible. I'm a musicals fan in general but les mis is something else. It will make you cry and laugh and somehow it will also make you proud to be French even when you're not French.

Long rant/fucking essay under cut so I'm not bombarding everyone who doesn't care about musicals or dead French dudes

I wish everyone could watch a live performance of it as their first experience of les mis because I feel like most people only see either the movie or the 25th anniversary concert. And while I adore the 25th anniversary concert and I'm a Les Mis 2012 Movie Defender 4 lyfe, I think both of those won't anchor you into enjoying les mis quite as much as an actual, professional live performance of the show will (bc the anniversary is mostly just standing and singing and the movie is.. flawed).

Also I imagine your first experience of it being the brick probably would not help you see why foreigners love this story so much because that thing is CHONKY and I've absolutely not read all of it - I've literally only read bits of it that include my faves. Sorry Hugo but I'm not here to read your rant about Paris' sewage system, I'm here to read about Grantaire bullying Enjolras and laugh at Marius for crying against a tree for hours xx

Les Amis de l'ABC are the main attraction for me and I think a lot of les mis fans tbh. Their friendships combined with their doomed narrative is just the absolute best and worst, emotionally speaking thing. Just the fact they believe so strongly in wanting to change the world that they're prepared to fight and die for it but they're also just a bunch of super young guys who drink and laugh together makes my heart hurt. They're martyrs to a hopeless cause but they're so human.

It makes you want to see them happy and victorious (I know there are a lot of mundane college kids les amis fics out there where they're "all happy and nothing hurts" because of this) but also that doomed narrative is so delicious every single time (which is why me and other les mis fans come crawling back to rewatch the musical whenever we're presented with the opportunity).

And DO NOT get me started on ExR. Grantaire and Enjolras are THE most angsty ship in the world, they make me ill. Grantaire is so in love with Enjolras even though his depression makes him a lot more aware of just how fucked they all are in this revolution, he's like a moth to a flame. Also the guy who played Grantaire in the 2012 movie shipped ExR. George Blagden if you can hear me right now I owe you my life and I hate them for cutting your Drink With Me solo.

Also the female characters in les mis are SO FUCKING GOOD HOLY SHIT like yes Cosette and Eponine are both madly stupidly in love with Marius "Just Some Guy" Pontmercy but to me it always felt like Marius was their love interest rather than the other way around. He's the chain that links Valjean to the revolution and back to the Thénardiers, but Eponine and Cosette are both so much more interesting to me personally than him.

AND FANTINE?? Fantine who had her life torn to shreds and does everything in her power (of which she has NONE) to protect her little girl and is punished, like fucking everyone in the story, for being a good person?? but who is always shown to be a sympathetic character?? written in a time when women were possessions and prostitutes were seen as scum of the earth?? Once again it's emotionally catastrophic, but it's beautiful. I for one enjoy when stories reach into my chest and squeeze my heart to pulp.

ALSO I'm such a sucker for motifs and symbology and themes and all of that Good Literature Shit, which les mis has in buckets, so there's also that.

so yeah

tl;dr the characters are my babies, i love a masterfully crafted story, and the music makes me feel shrimp emotions. PLEASE SEE THE MUSICAL.

thank you for letting me infodump this fine sunday afternoon <3

Les mis characters as stupid shit I've done

Enjolras - hit someone over the head with the communist manifesto because they were being antisemitic

Combeferre - finished my english assignment early, spent the remaining 2 lessons writing a 2k word essay on moral philosophies and ethics

Courfeyrac - got dressed up in a whole outfit just to go to the grocery store and get my dog some chicken

Grantaire - failed my maths exam so badly I barely got a D and instead of studying I decided to instead put my braincells into memorising the first 4 minutes of the bee movie

Joly - I convinced myself when I was 12 that my period cramps were extremely bad, managed to get the day off and eventually stopped lamenting for a second and went "oh I feel fine"

Bossuet - had a really bad headache so I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, slipped over onto my butt, the glass smashed and water went everywhere, and I ended up with an even worse headache

Bahorel - screamed at some dude for catcalling someone and then chased him around with a sharp stick threatening to kick his ass

Feuilly - lay down in the middle of the oval during a sports game and talked with my friend about poverty

Jehan - started a cult of devotees to ancient gods as well as a cult to frogs where we would regularly make offerings and commune with them. I also made a complaint to my school's library for not having Edgar Allan Poe or Emily Dickinson

Marius - thought Islam was a country

Cosette - all my messages look like 'ayeugljkjs' '<333' '💖💖💖' even when I'm writing threats

Eponine - got told off for drawing on myself and was sent to go wash it off in the bathrooms but I just stayed there for 20 minutes instead drawing more shit on myself

Gavroche - ate a piece of glass after my friends dared me I couldn't and I ended up cracking my tooth

Montparnasse - stole a bunch of pads from my school & dealt them to all my afab friends like drugs and once rolled my eyes so hardly I couldn't look upwards for a week

Javert - nope sorry I got nothing in common with this dude lmao acab

Valjean - made friends with an ant that crawled around on my book for 2 minutes and cried when it left

#les mis #les miserables #les amis #les amis de l'abc #yes I'm self obsessed what about it

A little something for Logic & Philosophy Week ! It’s called “Love in the time of Tour Eiffel”. Because they totally got reincarnated and got to kiss on the Eiffel Tower when it was built, and it was really, really romantic.

On the other hands, the cartoony effect on the Tower is totally messed up, but I don’t car. They are happy and so am I

[image ID : Combeferre and Enjolras are standing on the first (or second) level of the Eiffel Tower. Combeferre, a black man with short black hair and grey eyes, is standing, cane in hand. He’s wearing a long, blue coat, a grey open waistcoat, grey pants, a red cravat and a black top hat. He’s laying a hand on Enjolras’ shoulder. Enjolras, a smaller, white man with long, curly blonde hair and blue eyes, is leaning on the railing. He’s wearing a long brown coat, a golden waistcoat, tan pants, a white cravat and a black top hat. He’s holding a cane in one hand. A leg of the Tower is visible on the left, and the next level is shadowed against the blue sky, above them. The weather is sunny, coloring the metal gold. End ID]

Following of this, because so many people were scared of letting Jehan, Feuilly and maybe Enjolras in the sun. But don’t worry, Joly is not going to let them roast, he’s READY !! And then I wanted to elaborate on that sketch because why not.

Featuring also a giant swimming pool because I just wanted to play with colors and have them be nice and happy in the water.

Not my fault if they used the same pan as the one used to cook the biggest paella in the world.

[image ID : les Amis (plus a few), drawn in a chibi style, are swimming in a large swimming pool that Joly, an asian man with brown hair, green summer clothes and a straw hat, is stirring with a large spoon, standing on a diving board. He’s startling Bossuet, a black man with blue eyes, while Gavroche, a white boy with brown hair and blue eyes, is planning on grabbing the spoon. On the left, Enjolras, a white man whose arms are poking out of a mass of blond hair, is scaring Courfeyrac, a brown-skinned man with brown-black curls so badly that his heart-shaped glasses are jumping. Grantaire, a tan man with curly black hair and tattoos, is laughing at them. Along the farthest edge, there’s an umbrella in the colors of the LGBT flag. Montparnasse (a white man with black hair and sunglasses) is under it, almost submerged in water. Jehan, a white man with freckles and mismatched eyes, is swimming near him, his long, copper braid trailing behind him. Bahorel, a muscular, tan man with long black hair, a beard and tattoos, wearing a blue swimsuit, is sitting in a duck float, leaning back. Beside him, Feuilly, a white man with freckles, copper curls, wearing a blue hat, is stuck in a white and red float and is napping. In the center, Cosette, a black woman with brown eyes and black and purple braids, is emptying a bucket on an unsuspecting Marius, a white man with freckles, blue eyes and black short hair. Eponine, a white woman with a pink, long, curly sidecut, is looking at them. Beside her, Combeferre, a tan man with a black sidecut, grey eyes and glasses, is leaning against the edge and reading a book. There’s a large pile of empty bottles of sunscreen beside the pool, and “Sunscreen” is written in paint on the side. In the first pic, the pool is full of white-yellow sunscreen. In the second, it’s full of water reflecting the blue sky. end ID]

Finally finished the drawing for @acemisweek !! This has been inspired partly by @andersssandrew and partly by @endeavour12345. Thanks guys !!

Because "ace" is an umbrella term, get it get it ?

I tried to fit as many flags as I could there, but I may have forgotten some. Did you know that there are SO MANY flags ? There are so many.

... including the polish flag.

I've heard a bit of those since I've started IDing as ace. Lots of people still don't believe that "no attraction" is an orientation too. Well fuck them. It is, and I'll defend it with my last breath.

[image ID : Joly, Feuilly and Enjolras are huddling under an umbrella. Joly, an asian man with dark brown hair and green eyes, is looking up with an anxious expression, trying to see if it's raining. He's wearing a brown trenchcoat over a green shirt, brown pants and brown loafers, and a colorful scarf and fingerless gloves in the pattern of the 4th Doctor. He's holding a cane with a T. rex skull on it. The badges on his trenchcoat are a red "Les Amis de l'ABC" one and a polyamorous flag (blue, red and black). Feuilly, a white man with orange curls, golden eyes and a lot of freckles, is holding the umbrella and a cup of coffee. He's wearing a red and white hat, a white shirt, a denim jacket with a beige knit collar, jeans with an orange piece on the knee, and white Dr Martens. There's a black ring around his middle finger, and his badge is the demisexual flag (white, purple and grey with a black triangle). He's looking at Enjolras on the right. Enjolras, a white man with long, blond curls tied back, blue eyes and a few freckles, is standing victorious, raising his fist to the sky. He's wearing a red hoodie, black jeans rolled up and red converses. There's a black ring around his middle finger, and several bracelets around his wrists. He's wearing three badges : a red Les Amis one, a pride flag one (rainbow plus the black, brown, turquoise and pink stripes) and one with the sex repulsed ace flag (half purple, half black with a white stripe). The umbrella above them has the colors of the ace flag (purple, white, grey and white) and several small round flags are hanging from it : aro (two greens, white, grey and black), demisexual (purple, pink, white), demiromantic (white, green and grey with a black triangle), greysexual (green, grey and white) and aroace (orange, yellow, white and blue). From the sky are falling several phrases : "How do you connect ?", "But you need sex !", "You just haven't met the right one yet", "Are you a prude ?", "What a waste !", "Selfish", "You could make an effort", "You should at least try", "so you're just roommates ?", "You're frigid", "Have you been sexually assaulted ?", "they will cheat on you", "you will die alone" and "Childish". It looks like rain. end ID]

Happy birthday, @andersssandrew !!! Have some cuddling dorks !

They deserve it, after all.

[image ID : Emil and Lalli are cuddling in a one person bed. Emil, a white man with blond, shoulder-length hair, is wrapping his arms around Lalli, a skinny, white man with short-ish ashen hair. Lalli's arms are spread before him. Kitty, a white, brown and black cat, is lying in the crook of Lalli's body. Both men are facing the same direction. They are half-covered with a checkered plaid. The room is dark-ish, strewn with their clothing, and with wood-pannelling. The light is coming from a window above their heads, and spreading on the quilt. Everything is in yellow or brown hues. end ID]

Mon billet n°1 en 2022

Do you hear the people sing ? Singing the song of full buckets ! It is the music of the people who will have so much sand everywhere... ♫

This year’s theme has been inspired by the ever-wonderful @paon-de-jour who always has my back (and the rest) ♥.

This was SO easy to do ! (sarcasm). Twelve days for the sketch, and then, and then.... Not to mention scanning the thing and then correcting the cut parts because the scanner apparently hates crabs and pride umbrellas.

Can you spot all the things I had to correct with the white gel pen and a pair of scissors ? Because I sure can, but I’ll never tell.

HAPPY BARRICADE DAY WHERE EVERYONE IS HAPPY AND NO ONE IS DEAD !

EDIT : can you believe I forgot to add Courf in the image ID ? TT.TT I’m sorry !! so here is the new version with it ! Thanks @despisydraws for catching it !

Here is the progress gif !

SO you've watched Les Miserable (2012) and/or have seen a production of Les Miserable and youre really interested but also intimidated by the shear amount of content

I should be writing a 4 page paper about Socrates but instead i am here. This will be my humble attempt at creating an introductory pamphlet for the Les Mis fandom lol

disclaimer: I have not read the book by victor hugo (also referred to as the Brick) and almost everything here is from my own personal experience and perspective. this is not intended to be a definitive guide to Les Mis, just a stepping stone from the source material (Book/Movie/Musical/etc) to the fandom lol

(more below the cut!)

Barricade Boys:

Enjolras- leader in red, is always either really short or really tall, gorgeous, played by Aaron Tveit

Grantaire- cynic in green, often drunk and/or acting drunk, played by George Blagden

Combeferre- Enjolras's right hand, considered the brains of the group, likes moths, played by Killian Donnelly

Courfeyrac- Enjolras's left hand, very charming and compassionate, will glitterbomb his friends, played by Fra Fee

Joly- uses a cane, hypochondriac but also a med student of some kind, likes dinosaurs (idk where i saw that but its cemented in my mind), played by Hugh Skinner

Bosseut/L'Aigle de Meaux/Lesgles/Laigle- man has many names, very unlucky, very bald (not in the movie tho), played by Stuart Neal

Musichetta- not in the movie, owns/works at the Cafe Musain (where the barricade boys aka Les Amis de l’ABC have their meetings)

Feuilly- usually portrayed as a ginger, working class/makes fans for a living, the only amis who isn't a student, played by Gabriel Vick

Bahorel- loves to fight, knows EVERYONE no matter where he goes, played by Iwan Lewis

Jehan/Jean Prouvaire- youngest amis, likes poetry and usually portrayed with long hair, played by Alistair Brammer

Montparnasse- not technically barricade boy but often mentioned in fics, part of Patron Minette (the gang Eponine and her family run/are a part of), very stylish, either a sleazeball scumbag or a bad boy with a heart of gold

Common Relationships:

Enjolras/Grantaire- the most famous/impactful/popular ship, so much content, basically canon (“Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras”) also they died holding hands

Valjean/Javert- also pretty popular, not my cup of tea but if you like DILFS+enemies to lovers this is the ship for you

Bosseut/Joly/Musichetta- one of my personal favs, also basically canon (Joly and Bosseut “lived together, ate together, slept together. They had everything in common, even Musichetta, to some extent.”)

Combeferre, Courfeyrac, and Enjolras- best friends, tight circle, founders of the Les Amis de l’ABC, referred to in the brick as the Chief (E), the Guide (Ferre), and the Center (Courf)

Combeferre/Courfeyrac- best friends to lovers and/or childhood friends to lovers

Courfeyrac/Marius- supported by canon a bit (courf was marius’s first friend)

Marius/Cosette- canon, bi wife energy

Cosette/Eponine- if youre into flower shop/tattoo shop aus this is the ship for you

Feuilly/Bahorel- established relationship in majority of fics but not a ton of content focused on just them unfortunately

Jehan/Montparnasse- the grumpy one loves the sunshine one

Eponine/Combeferre- kind of a rare pair but its a guilty pleasure so i had to rep, i just love the idea of Eponine being loved unconditionally by a man who will never manipulate or judge her

A few accounts to follow:

@pilferingapples - the OG, so cool and knowledgeable everything they add to any post enhances it 10%. If youre interested in the history of the June Rebellion or anything related to the Brick, they have a ton of great resources also theyre really nice

@just-french-me-up - always has great content, also fairly active

@fuckyeahlesmiserables - reblogs a ton of awesome fanart

@juanjoltaire - Wigs's (Wigs'? Wig's?) art is incredible and I love the art style so much

@bahorell - Im biased bc i love Bahorel

@revolutionnaire-farouche - equal parts book, musical, fanon content

@shitpostingfromthebarricade - also an OG, one of the pillars of the fandom tbh, also they write fic!

@allthatsleftofus / @thecandlesticksfromlesmis - Eli and Co put together a truly INCREDIBLE webseries about a modern au barricade? 10/10 made me cry and the love they have for the characters is absolutely represented in their work

@les-amis-de-l-a-bae-c - also a really good account to follow, cool content, and fairly active!

Fanfic Recommendations:

Ok so the les mis fandom has a lot of modern au and reincarnation au fics just in general. these are a few of my favorite fics that ive read and have stuck with me over time! all of them are from ao3.

Bring a Torch by fraternite- It's Winter Break and so, of course, all the students are home with their families, celebrating the holidays. Except for the ones that can't. Some aren't able to travel home to be with their families; others wouldn't spend the holiday with their families if you paid them a million dollars. Some aren't welcome at home anymore. Some have no home to go to.

A handful of these students connect when an ice storm knocks out the power. And they find that they are not as alone as they thought.

An origin story of sorts for the Amis.

(If youre new here and looking for fic, i 100% recommend starting here. this is a modern/college au that has been my favorite les mis fic since the ninth grade and i reread it every winter break.)

Lovesickness by idiopathicsmile- Enjolras swallowed. "I didn't know he had tattoos on his back."

"Yeah," said Joly, shrugging. "I mean, he lives with me and before about noon, he's allergic to shirts—"

"Why—" said Enjolras weakly.

"I always figured he had a bad shirt experience," Joly offered. "Shirts killed his family, or his first dog got hit by a truck full of shirts."

Enjolras shook his head. His face was a little flushed.

"Ooh, are you experiencing symptoms?" said Joly, brightening. "What's your pulse doing? Are you breathing normally? How do your glands feel?"

Inspired in part by tumblr user feferi's post here, specifically: "i am in love with the idea that enjolras is so baffled by his own emotions towards grantaire that he legitimately cannot tell if he has heartburn or stomach butterflies"

Modern AU. Joly is a gentleman, a scholar, a med student—and, when need be, a matchmaker. And oh, the need is definitely being.

Semantics by telm_393- Marius isn't exactly sure what to do with himself when he leaves home, but, to be fair, he's not sure what to do with himself most of the time. Meeting Courfeyrac and the Amis is probably the best thing that's ever happened to him. And then he meets Cosette.

(Or: Marius is autistic, Gillenormand didn't know how to raise him, Courfeyrac and Cosette are good people, and apparently you don't have to stick with the family you were born with. You can make one.)

sleep, and dream of me- Grantaire dreams about gunfire, and fingers twined warmly with his own, and he paints and he paints yet can never get the images out of his head. Images of a blond man, always surrounded by red – red jacket, red flags, red blood – who shines like the sun and calls to Grantaire like a siren.

For days, this goes on; this… fixation on this man he’s never met, never seen; these flashbacks of memories he hasn’t lived. And then he runs into a man whose blond hair shines golden in the sunlight and who stares at Grantaire with a slack jaw and wide eyes and who says haltingly, “I… I know you.”

Words Never Spoken by StrawberryBubbles- At the age of eighteen the first words your soul mate will ever say to you appear etched into your skin, they stay there forever and it means everyone always knows who their soul mate is the second they exchange their first spoken words. Everyone except Enjolras. When he turned eighteen there was nothing, not a word, not even a letter. But it’s been four years, he’s adjusted, he’s accepted the fact that he doesn’t have a soul mate, won’t ever meet the love of his life, and he is fine with that. Until he meets Grantaire. Inspired by a tumblr post.

Thoughts of Flight by lenaballena - What's wrong. What isn't wrong?

They can't find Gavroche, Musichetta can't fit into her dress anymore, Marius was picking up Eponine's dress and got lost and possibly arrested (they're still trying to decipher his texts) there's a crazy woman who claims to be family of the bride harassing security and trying to gain access to the wedding, and Feuilly just punched one of Combeferre's cousins. Twice. She can't find Grantaire, and hasn't seen Enjolras either, which means both Eponine and Combeferre's best men are tearing into eachother somewhere, and if it's the sexy kind of tearing she's going to kill Grantaire, and if it's not she's absolutely going to murder Enjolras because their best friends get one special day and dammit he is not going to ruin it because Grantaire doesn't drink free trade coffee.

Oh, and Jehan doesn't like the flowers.

(or: when Combeferre and Eponine get married, and everything goes wrong but turns out right)

Danger Days by FredAndGinger, SpinalBaby- The mysterious graffiti artist R is dragged into a resistance group when his cellmate in a reconditioning facility, Bossuet, was rescued. Faced with memory loss, a beautiful and familiar leader, and a rag-tag band of rebels living in the wastelands outside of the post apocalyptic city of New Paris (formerly known as Las Vegas), how can anything possibly go wrong?
