I hope you all know that this is the best version of Les mis ever recorded and I will not be taking criticism on that point.
I don't care that it's in french, get yourselves on Duolingo if you've got a problem with it.
In this essay I will ⤵️
I hope you're all appreciating the chord changing to a major on the line "je prefer quitter ce monde" in Javerts suicide that symbolises his resolution because not only does it send instant chills but it makes it SO MUCH SADDER because he's completely resigned himself to his fate.
The whole album is incredible musically and has so many elements added in that aren't in any of the English versions. And all of the Amis voices are super sexy so it's a win win situation. (Esp enjolras 😫). De plus, no one has a weird voice so you don't have to put up with anyone's strange singing
Also there's a buildup in 'Seul devant ces tables vides' (empty chairs at empty tables) like I've never heard before it's insane.
ALSO the way that fantine sings j'avais rêvé is so tender and she just sounds so broken it's SO GOOD.
ALSO so obviously the English is not directly translated from the french so you get a lot of variation in lyrics and I could talk for days about this but one thing I'll point out is that in drink with me, Marius says 'j'attends, comme le délivrance, la balle qui m'est destinée' (I await, like deliverance, the bullet intended for me), which is insane because it gets across a side of Marius we see in the book of his absolute resignation to death that we hardly ever see in the English musical. And then instead of WOULD you cry if I were to fall, he goes will you cry. Which is super sad
I could talk about this album for YEARS
Anyway go listen to it if you haven't

I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT THESE TWO
LOOK AT THEM THEY WERE SUCH LOAFLY AND AND
LOOK AT THEM THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SCENE EVERYTIME HE LOOKS AT BETTY ITS WITH LOAFLY GOO GOO EYES LIKE A BUG FLIES ON HER FACE AND THIS IS HIS REACTION
THEY DONT EVEN NEED TO KISS CAUSE THE THOUGHT OF IT IS SUCH LOAFLY TO THEM; ALL THEY WANNA DO IS HUG EACH OTHER, HOLD EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY FOUND EACH OTHER AND IF YOUR TELLING ME THIS ISNT THE CUTEST LOAFEST SHIT IN THE WORLD YOUR A LIAR
LOOK AT THIS LAST MEMORY BEFORE HE WENT TO PUT THE CROWN ON AND KNEW HE WOULDNT COME BACK FROM IT LOOK AT HOW PRETTY SHE IS
I don't think he's remembering this point exactly I think he's remembering how pretty she looked in the car to him and her saying "goodbye Simon" was from some other point in his life when he lost her (the golb incident) because he knew he'd technically be dead if he changed to ice king
BUT I DONT GIVE TWO SHITS OR TWO FUCKS WHATEVER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE TWO THEY ARE SUCH LOAFLY AND SO IN LOAF THAT A KISS WOULDNT DO EM THE JUSTICE THEY NEED LIKE SUCH LOAFLY SO SAD

Give me modernAU Steddie where Steve only knows metal bands in relation to sports music, much to Eddie's chagrin.
Steve: Oh, I got us a couple of tickets for that band that plays Mariano Rivera's walk up music.
Eddie: Mario what-sit?
Steve: Oh come on, Eds, you know the one! Mariano Rivera, and he has that music that's like "Exit night, enter light!"
Eddie: ...
Eddie: Steve
Eddie: Steve did you just refer to Metallica as "the band that plays Mariah Romeo's WALK UP MUSIC."
Steve: Eddie you know it's Mariano Rivera, quit being an ass.
Meanwhile Eddie is off to the side like:

Rose's Day of Asks
Top 5 "it's cannon to me" couples.
Have a great Day💜
No. NO! NOOOOOO!!!!!! I will not pick between my beloveds! No. I can't! I won't! I shan't! No! I have too many and all of them are special to me. NO! But I will give you something because this is a good ask!
Top 5 "It's Canon to Me" Couples of 2023
and as usual, I will finesse my way into more!
Let me begin with the couples who cannot be considered for various reasons:
ToddBlack - Not Me
The reason they are being excluded isn't because they weren't in 2023. No! The reason they cannot be included is because THEY ARE CANON! Not just to me, but in the show. They. Are. Canon. They love each other in their warped way. They have fucked and will continue to fuck. And even on this day of marriage equality in Thailand, they still wouldn't get married because Black doesn't believe in the institution of marriage since the government is too involved in it and it's a capitalist tool used to push a heteronormative agenda, and Todd has a team of lawyers there to make sure Black gets everything he wants from Todd including the right to pull the plug on him, which he won't do BECAUSE THEY CAN'T KILL THE OTHER!
Guang Yan x Yi Yong - Oh No! Here Comes Trouble!
It's canon. Once again, it's not just canon to me. It's canon in the show and if people don't want to believe it, they can argue with the ghosts, but the ghosts also know it's canon because they witnessed these two fall in love with each other, so those negative people will still lose! When Yi Yong fell, Guang Yan ran to Yi Yong like his entire world was being destroyed right in front of him, and as a future doctor, he was losing his shit trying to keep Yi Yong alive. Then he stood in front of Yi Yong's mom, god, and ghost grandpa and stated directly into the microphone without any hesitation that Yi Yong was his heart and he needed him to come back to him. And if I ever get a second season, I know they'll still be sleeping in that bed, together. They. Are. Canon.
Peach x Home - Peaceful Property
This show hasn't been released yet, and the word on the streets is that it won't be a BL, but . . . it's canon to me. It's Tay and New. They are always down to kiss a homie. The pilot trailer was color coded, and although color coded boys don't have to be in love, they ARE in love. Therefore, they are canon. I don't make the rules.
Now for the actual list:
#5 - Saifah x Name - Dangerous Romance
They knew each other in high school, and when they met again as adults, there was chemistry. Name should've shot Saifah. Name should've been harsher to Saifah, yet he was granting leniency to Saifah. Then Saifah wanted Name out of the business. He wanted him to be safer and happier. Even though that didn't happen, Saifah still showed up in that jail to let Name know he would be waiting for him, no matter how long it took.
They are canon.
#4 - Oab x Guy - Bake Me Please
They were best friends. They started a business together with their other (bitchass) friend who Oab was in love with. They hired another baker to help their (bitchass) friend and Guy developed feelings for him. But . . . they actually loved each other! This isn't me being delusional either! When the dust settled, Guy and Oab sat down at a bar in the final episode, and Guy made it clear that not only was he far removed from his previous crush on someone else, but that he was there for Oab to help him get over his broken heart, in any way Oab needed him *wink*
They are canon.
#3 - Hyun Jae x Simeon - Jun & Jun
Simeon is an experienced idol. Hyun Jae was his manager, but Hyun Jae quit with no notice to go take care of the main character. The conversation when Simeon confronted Hyun Jae after he found out was thick with tension, and I do mean the physical kind. Simeon schemed his way into seeing the main character years later, but I truly believe it was a guise so he could see Hyun Jae because everything he did was to draw more attention from Hyun Jae. After that first encounter, they argued in cars, on rooftops, in dressing rooms, and standing on city streets, and I fully believed they fucked in all those places too!
They are canon.
#2 - Dome and Khatha - Midnight Museum
Dome is a god. Khatha is immortal. And they traveled through time and space to be together. The show labeled them as "brothers" but I don't know if it's because Gun and Tor could have chemistry with a broomstick, but THEY WERE IN LOVE! What convinces me even more is that Dome wasn't actually Khatha's "brother" Chan but looked like him. Khatha even confronted Chan AND KILLED HIM so he could be with Dome. Khatha made a decision to kill what we had been told was the most important part of him just so Dome could be safe. Then he ran through time to find Dome in the middle of a war with bullets flying and bombs dropping all so he could save him again just like he had the first time they met, and if I ever get that second season (MIDNIGHT MUSEUM 2 WHEN?!), GMMTV better let Gun kiss another man who isn't Off.
They are canon.
#1 - Yui x Soichiro - I Cannot Reach You
These two were just chilling in the background of every scene. TOGETHER! On a school trip? Together. At a festival? Together. Looking at books in the library? TOGETHER! Even though we never saw them kiss, their taiyaki kissed, so that's good enough for me! They were color coded (pink x green), which I think is one of the best color-coded pairs to ever exist, and Yui was giving advice to the main couple to get their shit together, probably because he was already in a loving and long-term relationship with his boyfriend!
They. Are. Canon.
