you see a dumb ass movie about people singing and being miserable or whatever you see it ONCE when you’re a teenager and then for the next 11 years you lose all ability to be normal about the two gays dying hand in hand or whatever the fuck

#i spend too much time thinking about dead gay revolutionaries #txt #les amis #les mis #i'm finally reading the brick and it's reawakened something in me

[enjcltaire]

fuck ‘do you permit it’ because ‘it is a pity I am ignorant; I would tell you countless things if only I knew them’ is officially my new favourite Grantaire brick quote

#jesus christ i am him he is me #we are one #txt #grantaire #i too am an idiot who wants to be smart for someone #let me impress u with my nonexistent skills

[enjcltaire]

Mentally I am here:

#i'm always there #photo #george blagden #grantaire #the realest one there is

Just rediscovered potentially the funniest thing I’ve written in recent memory

#there’s something about him that’s just so comforting #edit #enjolras #aaron tveit #maybe i’m just nostalgic #maybe it makes me feel something

my favorite thing about les mis is that every couple of chapters Victor Hugo likes to go oh! who is that mysterious old man?? who could it be???? its a mystery! he's super buff btw, but who is it! Oh! sacre bleu! It's Jean Valjean! who would have ever guessed!

I did, Victor. I guessed.

It's Christmas, which means watching Les Misérables 2012. It's a tradition at this point.

canon barricade boys as they’re introduced

honestly reading this part of the brick is basically reading a list of headcannons off tumblr but i digress

Enjolras

…a charming young man who was capable of being a terror.

- essentially both a nerd and a jock

- very very pretty

- cares about justice, not women

- his speech can be harsh and intense

Combeferre

He was learned and a purist, precise, eclectic, hard-thinking, and at the same time imaginative ‘to the point of fantasy’, his friends said.

- very close with Enjolras, and really balances his out

- believes that education is really important in society

- gentle, and while he could fight would rather not

Jehan

Jean Prouvaire was a lover; he cherished a pot of flowers, played the flute, wrote verses, loved the people…

- learned Italian, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew to be able to read poetry

- likes to walk through meadows of wild flowers

- he likes to contemplate social issues and the immensity of the heavens

- kind in a way that kindness is like greatness

- an only child

- awkward and shy and fearless

Feuilly

There is no more powerful eloquence than that of indignation based on true conviction, and his was the power that he possessed.

- makes fans

- an orphan - he likes to say that his country took the place of his mother

- he taught himself how to read and write

- affectionate and warm hearted

- is really passionate about issues beyond France (greece, poland, hungary, etc)

Courfeyrac

He possessed that youthful ardour that may be termed the infernal beauty of the spirit.

- ditched the de part of de Courfeyrac because it was too bougie and he wanted to be like lafayette

- he’s essentially the heart of the revolution

- he’s “decent” (victor hugo did him dirty here)

Bahorel

He was a born agitator: that is to say, he enjoyed nothing more than a quarel except a rebellion, and nothing more than a rebellion except a revolution.

- wears crimson waistcoats

- connected the ABC to other groups

- his motto is “no lawyers”, he would literally button up his coat every time he walked by the law school to avoid ‘contamination’

- he has no regular habits but likes to stroll through paris and go to different cafes

Bossuet

Bossuet was a cheerful but unlucky young man, notable for the fact that he succeeded in nothing. On the other hand, he laughed at everything.

- so very bald

- he’s poor, as in basically always broke but still finds a way to squander money when he can

- merry and cheerful and good humoured

- studying law

- couch surfs, but mostly lives with Joly

- bald

Joly

For the rest, he was the gayest of them all.

- med student

- disabled and uses a cane

- jolly and eccentric

Grantaire

Grantaire was a young man who made a point of believing in nothing.

- goes by R because of grand R (aka capital R because he’s such a nerd)

- knows where all the best alcohol is

- so fucking ugly

- a boxer, gymnast and dancer

- completely and utterly in love with Enjolras

alright, question for the esteemed jury (though I imagine this will be a uniquely american, if not perhaps also canadian, experience):

are you familiar with the children's game that involves slapping hands around a circle while singing a song that begins "down by the banks of the hanky panky"

and if you are, how did the rest of the song go for you

#DOWN BY THE BANKS OF THE HANKY PANKY WHERE THE BULLFROGS JUMP FROM BANK TO BANK #WITH AN EEPS OPS SODA POPS HE MISSED A LILY AND HE WENT KERPLOPS #txt #misc #not les mis #but so fucking important that people know the right way

[enjcltaire]
