Okay so. Pylades and Orestes.

“Orestes Fasting and Pylades Drunk” is the title of the chapter of Les Miserables in which Grantaire and Enjolras die hand in hand. We know it. We love it. We cry about it.

In this chapter title, Enjolras is compared to Orestes and Grantaire is compared to Pylades.

Orestes and Pylades are Greek figures in various plays including Electra, Orestes, The Libation Bearers. Orestes considers Pylades to be his closest friend, trusting him entirely.

In the Roman era, their relationship was represented as romantic in a dialogue written by Lucian of Samasata titled Erōtes (Affairs of the Heart). This dialogue uses Pylades and Orestes as the central figures in a discussion about homoerotic friendships.

Bringing it back to our boys…Enjolras does not see Grantaire as his Pylades until their final moments, but Grantaire’s devotion to Enjolras is just as unwavering as Pylades’ devotion to Orestes.

Anyway! Here are some of my favorite interactions between Pylades (Grantaire) and Orestes (Enjolras) that I was able to find floating around the web. :)

Please send more quotes if you find them!!!

Captain James Flint — serval years late, but hopefully not too many doubloons short.

Or in other news, I finally watched Black Sails, predictably for anyone who ever knew me fell in love, and ever since, have been trying to do Flint’s vibe of “stoic while simultaneously looking pained, amused, exasperated and about three seconds from murderous” justice.

Last Supper.

Take, eat; this is my body.

Drink all of it; for this is my blood, poured out for many unto remission of sins.

Under the cut another lil version of this drawing :3

It's useless to kiss it, my love.

It already stopped the moment you died.
