“Les Mis” review: US Tour, San Francisco, August 25, 2018

When I heard that the Les Mis tour was coming to San Francisco, I knew right away that I had to make the 2-hour drive and see it. I hadn’t seen the show onstage in three years and I’m always eager to see a new performance – only time and money limits stop me from traveling to see every professional production.

The current US tour is, of course, Laurence Conner’s 25th Anniversary production, which has been sweeping the world since 2009. The sets, costumes and basic staging were familiar and my feelings about them haven’t changed a bit. I could nitpick about all the details that feel inferior to the classic Trevor Nunn/John Caird production (the lack of any chairs or tables in Empty Chairs, the excessive slapstick in the Thénardiers’ scenes, the awkwardness of some scenes that were clearly written to be staged on a turntable, etc.), but overall, it’s a beautiful way to experience the musical. The impressionistic imagery derived from Victor Hugo’s drawings is both Romantically beautiful and appropriately somber and gritty, and for the most part, the staging excellently serves the story. So many little details enhanced the action’s moving effect: for example, in the Well Scene, Valjean found an exhausted Young Cosette collapsed in tears over her heavy bucket, and he gently approached her from behind and helped her to her feet, perfectly mirroring the moment when the Bishop first found him sleeping on his doorstep.

Believe it or not, this was my first time seeing the 25th Ann. production since 2012, before the movie was released. Since then I’ve only seen non-replica regional productions; I missed the 2014 Broadway revival and have never been anywhere near the International Tour either. So I noticed a fair amount of changes that have been made to the production since the original 2009-13 tours. Some of these changes I had already read about in other people’s reviews, but others were surprises. Here are all the differences I noticed:

*All projections that used to tell us when and where the action takes place have been cut. Maybe this was already the case in 2009-13, but I don’t remember. This must make the time skips confusing for first-time audience members who haven’t read the synopsis.

*In the Prologue, during the farm scene’s instrumental passage, two little girls run across the stage playing tag. One trips and falls, and Valjean approaches to make sure she’s all right, but her parents hurry protectively to her side and glare him away from her.

*Petit Gervais is included. Valjean takes his coin during “Now every door is closed to me…” I know this bit of staging has been in and out of this production since 2009 (it was present in the UK tour, then absent in the 2010 US tour, then reinstated in Toronto…), but for now it’s back. I think the placement is awkward, though, since it comes just on the heels of Valjean showing compassion to another child. I personally would have placed Gervais after the inn scene during “And now I know how freedom feels…” to show that Valjean’s increasing mistreatment has made him even more bitter and ruthless than when he was first released from prison. (Future directors, take note.)

*Fantine’s dress is now a solid turquoise in place of the stripe-and-flower pattern from the 2009-13 tours. I already knew this from the 2014 Broadway photos of Caissie Levy, though.

*In “At the End of the Day,” the Factory Girl now has a “girl posse” of two other women. They’re the ones who initially snatch Fantine’s letter and sing “And what have we here, little innocent sister?” then pass the letter to their queen bee, who reads it.

*Fantine’s first customer in “Lovely Ladies” is now the Factory Foreman. (This may have been the case back in 2009-13, but I don’t remember; it was the case in the 2006-07 Broadway production, though.) We get a long, horrible moment where they stand and stare at each other, Fantine appalled while the Foreman leers back at her, before she finally gives him her hand.

*Same scene: Fantine doesn’t sing “Come on, captain, you can wear your shoes…” anymore. Instead, she and the Foreman emerge from their “transaction” and two other whores ask the departing Foreman “Tell me, captain, did you wear your shoes?” “Don’t it make a change… etc.” while Fantine stands still and traumatized. She only starts singing at “Easy money, lying on a bed…”

*Fantine’s cause of death is once again TB, as Hugo wrote it. Back in the 2009-13 tours she wasn’t portrayed as sick; instead Bamatabois gave her a powerful kick in the side, which apparently broke her ribs, punctured a lung and killed her. But now she’s coughing before Bamatabois ever sets eyes on her. I suppose after Anne Hathaway’s dramatic weight loss and oh-so-believable illness in the movie, Laurence Connor decided he couldn’t kill his Fantine differently.

*In “Master of the House,” we get a more elaborate variation on the movie’s quick “watering the wine” bit. Halfway through the song, a man desperately needs to go to the bathroom; Thénardier directs him to Mme. Thénardier, who holds a chamber pot while he uses it. At the end of the song, she secretly pours out the chamber pot into the wine jug, then brings the jug to her husband, who drinks, then gags.

*I remember that the first time I saw the 2010 US tour, Mme. Thénardier tried to seduce Valjean during “The Bargain,” but later in the run, that bit of comedy was cut. Well, now it’s back. She “treats” him to some dramatic leg- and cleavage-flaunting and sprays herself with much too much perfume, making him cough when she comes near him. A little excessive, if you ask me.

*Gavroche’s costume seems to have been tweaked. Instead of the all-brown outfit of the 2009-13 tours, as seen on Robert Madge in the 25th Ann. Concert, he now wears a light blue shirt with a tan vest. Also, instead of “This is my school, my high society…” in “Look Down,” he now sings his more political lyrics from the movie, starting with, “This is the land that fought for liberty…”

*The street fight between the two women in “Look Down” has been cut. Why that vignette wasn’t cut to begin with when the show was first trimmed down in the early 2000s, yet actual characterization material from major characters was cut, I’ll never know.

*Enjolras and Marius’s lines in “Look Down” are now a public speech to the beggars, delivered on soapboxes with one or two other Amis (I don’t remember which ones) present too.

*In “Attack on Rue Plumet,” Éponine now snatches a knife from a gang member (I don’t remember who, though I don’t think it was Montparnasse – either Babet or Claquesous) and threatens all the men with it as she sings “I know this house, I tell you…”

*When Éponine delivers Marius’s letter, she doesn’t run straight up to Valjean and announce her purpose anymore. Instead the scene is staged more like the original Nunn/Caird version; she creeps into the garden and looks up at Cosette’s balcony, trying to determine how to get the letter to her, but then Valjean catches her and she gives him the letter out of fear. She also takes down her hair and reveals her gender on “He said to give it to Cosette,” though I’m not sure why.

*Gavroche flips off Javert the end of “Little People.” Not the Arm, which other Gavroches have done. The Finger. My friend who saw the show with me was disturbed that they let a child do that.

*Éponine’s death is now a self-sacrifice. When she enters over the barricade, she almost makes it to safety, but Marius, in his eagerness to talk to her, jumps up from cover while bullets are still flying and is almost shot. Éponine pushes him out of the way and takes the bullet instead, though she doesn’t let him realize she’s been hit until after they climb down to the ground.

*Gavroche’s death is no longer offstage, but now handled in the style that seems to be near ubiquitous in productions with no turntable. Gavroche makes it back to the top of the barricade, but is shot at the last moment and falls into Enjolras’s arms. Then Enjolras hands him down to Grantaire, who mournfully carries him from the barricade.

*Post-Final Battle, Javert now has a movie-esque moment of sympathy over Gavroche’s body. He finds the boy on the ground, kneels and contemplates him, then does a sign of the cross before lifting him up onto the cart next to Enjolras.

*Likewise, Javert now has a gun in his last meeting with Vajean. This has seemingly become ubiquitous in post-movie productions.

*In the wedding scene, midway through the Thénardiers’ exchange with Marius, the majordomo announces “Ladies and gentlemen, the cake!” A gorgeous wedding cake is wheeled onstage – and Mme. Thénardier promptly grabs the knife, cuts a piece and stuffs it into her mouth with her bare hands, much to the shock of the onlookers. In disgust, the majordomo orders the cake removed. I’m not sure whether I think this is funny or fatphobic.

*When the Bishop appears among the spirits in the finale, he and Valjean hug, rather than just bowing to each other as in 2009-13.

Now for the cast…

Nick Cartell (Jean Valjean)

Both musically and dramatically, this man commanded the stage. His bright, ringing tenor was capable of all the magnificent power and magnificent gentleness an ideal Valjean should display; his only possible vocal flaw was that he sounded a bit too young. (The same could be said about his looks.) His acting was spot-on too. From the angry convict of the beginning, to the gentlemanly Monsieur Madeleine, to Javert’s fierce nemesis, to Cosette’s loving father, to the dying old man of the finale, he embodied each of Valjean’s identities. One worthwhile touch he added that I’ve never seen from any other musical Valjean was the limp Hugo ascribes to the character, as a result of living for years with his leg chained: at first it was barely noticeable, but as he aged it became painfully pronounced. Another, adorable touch to his performance was this: he took the popular detail of Valjean gently booping Cosette’s nose, and instead of only doing it once or twice, he expanded it into a special gesture of affection for her throughout their years together. Repeatedly he touched his own nose, then touched hers: first when he adopted her, then in “In My Life,” then at the beginning of “Valjean’s Confession,” and finally as he was dying. During the final curtain calls, the audience’s wild applause for him was well deserved.

Josh Davis (Javert)

I’m afraid he was my least favorite of the lead performers. Not in terms of his singing: he had a rich, powerful baritone voice that was just right for the part. But his diction tended to sound strange and his whole characterization was a bit too growly, aggressive and “cartoon villain”-like for my taste. I’m sure this was partly direction: Laurence Connor’s concept of Javert has always seemed more aggressive and neurotic than the novel’s or Trevor Nunn’s, regardless of the actor. But it still didn’t ring quite right for me. I agree with a previous reviewer who wrote that his delivery recalled William Shatner … particularly at the end of “Who Am I?” when he charged after Valjean yelling “CON!” which of course sounded just like “KHAN!” I literally asked myself “Did he just make a Star Trek joke?” (Though maybe it was one, since this was a matinee performance; I know it’s a tradition in the London production to add little jokes in the matinees.) Still, there were moments of his performance I liked a lot: for example, his unique, utterly broken, weary delivery of the line “This man has killed me even so!” I’ve definitely seen worse Javerts in the past. I’ve just seen better ones too.

Mary Kate Moore (Fantine)

A lovely, delicate Fantine with a beautiful mezzo voice and a poignant, pain-filled characterization. I just wish I could have seen more anger, pride and inner strength from her. Maybe part of the problem was my far-away seat, because I’ve read another fan’s review of her performance that praised her strength and anger. But personally, I never felt the complexity of the novel’s Fantine from her. Still, without question, her singing and acting were high in quality. I think my main issue was with the staging, which highlighted Fantine’s victimhood and reduced her agency. The factory “fight” consisted only of the Factory Girl beating her up, rather than letting her make a fierce effort to get the letter back, and the reassignment of lines in “Lovely Ladies” left her standing in mute, broken shock where past Fantines have made active, tough-talking advances to potential customers. She was a good Fantine, but might have done better in a different production.

J. Anthony Crane (Thénardier)

Scraggly, slimy, funny and slightly larger than life but never too hammy, dark and sinister in “Dog Eats Dog”… in short, he was just what Thénardier should be. His marriage to his wife seemed to be one where “pots and pans and underwear fly”: they bickered ferociously, but worked together effortlessly, and at the end of the Waltz of Treachery they “celebrated” their 1500 francs with his head under her skirt. Predictably, the audience loved them both.

Allison Guinn (Mme. Thénardier)

Good, but over the top. Her voice was powerful and strident, which is right for the role, but she made it a little too strident and annoying for my taste. The same can be said for her acting: just as brash, funny and nasty as it should be, but a little too slapstick and cartoonish. Of course she’s far from the only cartoonish Mme. T. I’ve ever seen, and while she didn’t perfectly embody the brute Hugo created, she was still a solid source of comic relief.

Robert Ariza (u/s Marius)

A very likeable Marius: cute and small (he was slightly shorter than Éponine!), with fluffy black hair and a warm, sweet tenor voice. He was adorably passionate and lovesick in the early scenes; I adored the moment in “A Heart Full of Love” when he thought he had scared Cosette away after she ran from her balcony, and was groaning “I do not even know your name!” to the wall of her house (such an INFP!) when he suddenly realized she was standing behind him. He also offered a warm friendship with Éponine and touching grief and tears at her death. His “Empty Chairs” was appropriately poignant too, with its outpouring of grief and anger. Knowing that first-time Les Mis viewers so often react to Marius in less than complimentary way, it’s a testament to his performance that afterwards, my first-timer friend praised the character’s coming-of-age journey and his romance with Cosette. Everything about his performance was more-or-less just right.

Paige Smallwood (Éponine)

A good, strong Éponine, with a beautiful, powerful voice and a solid, affecting characterization. She was a genuine street rat, never cutesy or ingénue-like, yet not too harsh either, but struck just the right balance of toughness, playfulness, anger, heartache and warmth. I especially liked a few of her small yet unique acting choices. On the line “I like the way you grow your hair,” for example, she started to reach out to touch Marius’s hair, but then pulled herself back, and distracted him from what she had almost done by throwing his book onto the ground. I also loved her grimly determined expression at the end of “On My Own,” when she set off to rejoin Marius at the barricade; other Éponines I’ve known have paused in uncertainty at that point, torn between love and fear, but this one strode to her fate with hard, unwavering resolve. Her death was excellent too, with the perfect balance between pain, vocal beauty and tenderness. The audience understandably loved her.

Matt Shingledecker (Enjolras)

I should have known to expect good things from this Enjolras, since his performance as Tony in the 2009 West Side Story revival (he replaced Matt Cavanaugh) was highly praised by the late Arthur Laurents in his last memoire. His bright, ringing tenor voice was just right both for Tony and for Enjolras, and his looks were ideal too: tall, strong and handsome, with a long mane of sunny blond hair. His acting was also spot on, with an excellent balance between stately dignity and rabble-rousing fire. I only wish I had been sitting closer, so I could see his expressions more closely and have more insight into this Enjolras’s relationships with his friends, especially Grantaire. But I have nothing but positive feelings about his performance.

Jillian Butler (Cosette)

A sweet, charming Cosette; not one of the most outstanding I’ve seen, per se, but very good. As with Robert’s Marius, it’s a testament to her talent that my first-timer friend loved their love story. Her voice was a bright, crystalline soprano, slightly thin, but never wispy or squeaky. Her acting was spot-on too; she was just as innocent, lovesick and tender as she should be, angry about Valjean’s secret keeping without being bratty, and appropriately distraught by his death. I do wish Connor’s staging let her show him more affection instead of highlighting their conflict, but of course this wasn’t her fault at all.

John Ambrosino (u/s Grantaire)

Effective, though I wish I had been sitting closer to see the nuances of the various looks he exchanged with Enjolras. They were subtle, but I have no doubt they were emotionally charged. Still, he was convincing as the wild and funny drunkard, as the sad cynic, and as Gavroche’s devoted big brother figure. I was especially struck by his private, despairing collapse against a wall after Enjolras glared at him at the end of his “Drink With Me” verse, and though his “NO!” at Gavroche’s death was slightly underwhelming, his staggering, open-mouthed anguish as he carried the boy’s body and quiet weeping into his chest on the ground were heartbreaking. Overall, an excellent performance.

Sam Middleton (Gavroche)

A first-rate Gavroche, old enough to be convincing and commanding onstage yet young enough to be poignant, with a strong, clear voice and good acting throughout. Besides the usual cheek and feistiness, I loved that this production made Gavroche’s compassionate side clear. He was the one who comforted Marius after Éponine’s death, and when Grantaire collapsed in despair after his “Drink With Me” solo, he gave him the sweetest consoling hug. The characters onstage weren’t the only ones distraught by his death, that’s for sure.

Elsa Avery Dees (Young Cosette)

A delicate, sweet-voiced little thing, just as any Young Cosette should be.

My friend who had never seen Les Mis before was completely bowled over by this performance. She had endless praise for it our way home (though even she thought the slapstick in the Thénardiers’ scenes was overdone) and right away got tickets to see again with her family. Personally, I wouldn’t want to see the same cast back-to-back, but I am hoping to see the tour again when it comes to LA in the spring. This production might not be perfect, but still, both for first-timers and for longtime Les Mis lovers, it has no shortage of great things to offer.

My version of JT’s Cuphead Rap

La la, la la, la la, la la,

La la, la la, la la la

(Yo, cut that out

Let me spit something real)

(scat)

Take a sip of this, I'm an itty bitty Cuphead

One sentence in, I've already made a pun, yep

Picking up steam, wonder why they call me hothead

Struck a deal with the devil, now I'm rackin' up debt

Yes, I made a dumb bet, no need to get upset

I'm a cup of trouble, have you seen my mugshot yet?

Step in front of my finger gun, and you drop dead

Wallop all your bosses, leave 'em all jobless

They'll never stop me from runnin' like a faucet

I'm a full cup, don't you ever try to top it

You can never touch this, but you can kick the bucket

I'm meant to be drunk from, but not to be trusted

Heads up, hit the deck, Mugman

You don't really wanna get your head busted

I'm a dirty dish, who needs a rough scrubbin'

After doing these devilish deeds, hot dang!

I'll stop this train even if it's haunted

"Where's my ship?" Sorry just sunk it

Hopping like a frog, duck and dodge your punches

Won't shed a single tear when I'm choppin' onions (Wah!)

Spent all your breath huffin' and puffin'

Just to get dumped on by a cup for nothin'

Unless all you wanna end up dead

You do not mess with a Cuphead, 'nuff said

Do not mess with a Cuphead, 'nuff said

Do not mess with a Cuphead, 'nuff said (Nyeh!)

You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled

My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?

I took that devilish gamble

Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle

And now it's time to foot the bibbadibibitty-bill

Any line that you happen to draw

Is a line I'll be stepping across

Trapped in a world lacking any natural laws

Have you had your coffee yet? 'Cause I'm off of the walls

My demons need some exorcise

A little caffeine oughta get 'em energized

Will we ever get to heaven when we die?

Can't get any worse, we already bet our lives

Forget fairy tales, they're fizzin' out

I'd like to pick a fight with that darn Mickey Mouse

I'll kick his butt then I'll knock Walt Disney out

I'll leave 'em with a taste of toxic in their mouth (Oh, no!)

My hand's been dealt, it's a bad draw though

I'll go all in when the rest all fold

Look's like I'm on the last straw so

Better tell the devil th-that th-that's all folks!

Come see what we’ve been brewin'

Something to keep ya movin'

Must be the beat I'm boomin'

Hit me with that funky music

How do we keep on groovin'?

Once could say we’ve been juicin'

Beepin' boopin', looney toonin'

Time for you to face the music

You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled

My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?

I took that devilish gamble

Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle

And now it's time to foot the bibbadibibitty-bill

I feel like the holy grail

Just hope I don't go to Hell

If so that won't go so swell

I've been bad, but no one tell

I'm much more than just a cup

Raise a toast and pick me up

Pour one more and drink it up, but don't choke

...

'Cause I'm not the kinda cup you should be chugging from

I'll get the jump on ya when I run and gun

Working for Lucifer is a ton of fun

When he says "do my bidding", done and done

I'm a jazzy chap who'll leave you razzle-dazzled

After I whoop and wallop your butt in battle

When I'm stuck up the creek without a paddle

Just imagine, the glass is half full

You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled

My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?

I took that devilish gamble

Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle

And now it's time to foot the bibbadibibitty-bill (One more time!)

You'll never catch me cryin' over milk I spilled

My head ain't empty, but who knows with what it's filled?

I took that devilish gamble

Nothing that a Cuphead couldn't handle

And now it's time to foot the bibbadibibitty-bill

La la, la la, la la, la la,

La la, la la, la la la

Finally finished the Death Tarot design from way back.

I wanted to have a skeleton-esque design without going full skeleton, so I based the patterns off of an Blackbuck, but I also referenced other kinds of antelope a bit. I wanted to incorporate snakes into the design because similar to the card they're often misunderstood as foretelling 'only' death and misfortune, but can also represent a great change in one's life. Like a snake shedding it's skin, they can symbolize the end of an old way of life and the beginning of a new one. Gold stands out on the card and even though I initially wanted a cooler color for the accents, all the other Tarot goatlings I noticed have some sort of bronze/gold-ish accent incorporated into their designs as well. It also helps it pop out a bit. Hobbies include boopin’ sneks on the snoots.

Also some werables.

I wonder if Droids like Astromechs ever get pissy at us for speaking to them in Galactic Basic. Like, they’re beepin’ and boopin’ away and we’re all “Yeah, buddy! Calculate that hyperspace jump for me!” Especially for those of us that don’t understand Binary and have to read the little screens. In other words, when I assigned one of the Astros to a damaged fighter today, was he beeping back at me, “Sure thing, boss!” or something more like,”Dammit, ST-3V3! I know my language is difficult for Human tongues to replicate, but you could at least learn to beep out a simple ‘Please’ or ‘Thank you’ or maybe my FUCKING NAME.”

Episode 9 Guess List

Alex's Guess 1: A comic page, but it's drawn by a five year old. An ice dragon pops out in one frame. The next panel is the five year old boy going like "I'm the ultimate hero and I can save the day!" And the next panel is him getting up to the dragon and going like "I'm going to get you, but then the last panel is him going like "Hey, wait, that's a cool sword" and the kid lowers his sword and is like "It is cool we should be best friends!" and the dragon goes "yeah."

Mason's image: Little spider boy, that is going to a school for bugs and insects. Dressed like Ness. He gets bullied for being an arachnid. He goes home and tells his big 'ole spider mom. She walks up to the school and barges into the Rhino beetle principal's office and orders him to stop the bullying.

Mason's Guess 1: A lizard man, slithering around in jorts. Slithers into the liquor store. He tries to pick up a 6-pack of Natty Ice. He goes to the counter and there's a pig guy behind the counter and he's like "Hey, Joe ID man." And Joe is like I left them in my other jorts and Piggly Wiggly and is like sorry man unless you lok 60 I gotta card you. I could lose my license. Joe calls him a narc and puts the Natty Ice down and slithers out of the liquor store.

Alex's image: A wreath on a door made of electricity and full of kittens, but the kittens aren't getting hurt they're just kind of in the electric wreath.

Alex's Guess 2: Three dogs boopin' snoots

Mason's image: A cartoonish style samurai with a top knot, to amuse the children of the villages that he was hired to protect he decorates his top knot. Everything from a flower in the top knot to making a balloon animal out of it. His name is Shoji.

Mason's Guess 2: Space octopus. Like a cosmic, all-knowing space octopus

Alex's image: An orchid and then a bumblebee goes to pollinate the orchid's pestles and stamens, and when he rubs his bumble but on the orchid marbles just start falling out of the orchid. Like a exorbitant amount of marbles.

Alex's Guess 3: Bees with torches investigating an old mummy burial tomb site. Also, the torches aren't big they're like bee-sized.

Mason's image: A goose that's got Heterochromia iridum and synesthesia.

Mason's Guess 3: A pitch black night sky, and a silver streak shoots across the night sky

Alex's image: Some sort of aerated can of cheese, but he's a home owner. Like the cover of the new Vision comic, he's wearing a little hat, sweater, and khaki slacks. When the neighbors come to greet them, he turns around and just shoots Goofy Movie levels of cheese excrement on them.

BTS x OVERWATCH

I have always had an idea to draw BTS as an overwatch team but I have this urge now more than ever. For those of you fellow nerds out there who play and are in love with these 7 dorks, prepare for the long rambling here. This isnt really meant for anyone except myself to get my thoughts down but I thought why not share anyway amongst my other projects.

• First of all, Yoongi doesn't want anything to do with video games and he is often times the emcee during their run episodes. He is the overwatch team coach here, that's all there is to it. He has such a strategic mind and he is so observant I actually totally believe he would be good at coaching if he knew the content well enough insert Yoongi teaching kids piano hc here

• Namjoon and a certain other hyung he shares one (1) brain cell with would without a doubt in my mind be the tank line. They talk often enough about how they play the same games and they often hang up on jk and protect other members from his bullying.

•Namjoon, as the leader, would undoubtably be a Rein main. Disagree and you can fight me in the parking lot. Anyway, I thought about how much he even can't stand aegyo without getting embarrassed and he really likes cool, powerful things like Mangnanyong. So I think he would really enjoy Rein. If he had to have a secondary character it would be Winston, hands down. He calls Winston Moonchild cause LOL and sad.

• That leaves the D.Va to none other than Kim Seokjin and that absolutely perfect duo is making me hyperventilate. That's just so him and even down to being cute and knowing he is a Boss Ass Bitch who also rounds up his kids in game like she does is just. Oof. I need to sit down. His secondary would be Hammond. He would sing Wrecking Ball as he annoyingly knocked enemies around.

• We all know Jung Hoseok is a literal sunshine. He couldnt hurt a fly and is too scared to face off enemies. Which makes him the perfect pocket healer. The group revolves around him and protects him at all cost. His main is mercy because he is our hope he is our A N G E L. He's J-Hope. Loved by all, must protecc but also when the rest of the team is dead he pistol whips and he attacc. If he had to have a secondary it would be another close range healer such as Lucio. Boopin' bops for everyone.

•Park Jimin. Oof. What a switch. Is a healer because he loves his team but will also like cut a bitch if she gets too close to Tae or Jungkook. He looks over the DPS players as Ana on high in the backline. Typically close to Tae but watching out for Jungkook on the frontline to keep him healed. Sleep darts like a boss because when he sets his mind on something like that he is just. Scary. Often forgoes a bionade for his teammates and reserves it for anti. Secondary would be Baptiste. He thinks he is really funny and enjoys the jet boots.

• We all know Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook would be the DPS players because well they both play OW and play DPS snipers or mains on most of their games. Also, see Run ep 7. They're a scary duo. Anyway, Tae would be the sniper of the team. Widow is his main because he l i v e s for her aesthetic and design and thinks she is just *muah* art. He hangs in the backline and watches over Jimin and snipes frontline enemies. His secondary would be Mei. He enjoys her versatility and her right click works pretty well for sniper types like myself.

• Lastly, that leaves JK, who is without a doubt in my mind exactly who he plays in rl, Genji. He loves to flip around all crazy and obnoxious and be a troll and loves zipping around the battlefield. He can hang up front with his older hyungs and get to the backline if they need it. His secondary would be Pharah or McCree. He really likes being up high and raining down rockets but that doesn't always work on maps without a lot of open air and if Hobi is playing Lucio he can't get a lot of the heals without getting into danger. If those a re factors and he can't be his main, he will go with McCree. He like American Cowboy. Pistol whipping. Spurs. Howdy partner. Jeon Jungkook.

Anyway, this was fun. Tell me thoughts if you agree or disagree or anything! I'd love to discuss! :D
