Brick... with animation!

25. Marius Meets Amis

"You are M. Marius Pontmercy?" "Certainly." "I was looking for you," resumed Laigle de Meaux. "How so?" demanded Marius; for it was he: in fact, he had just quitted his grandfather's, and had before him a face which he now beheld for the first time. "I do not know you." "Neither do I know you," responded Laigle. Vol 3, book 4, chapter 2

Note: It was really hard to fit the animation scenes in the brick's order, because Il cuore di Cosette's this part of storyline was silightly different from it.

The man who called Marius was a law student named Laigle. First, he was not funny at that because he was in a bad mood. But Laigle told the story. When he went to find the man who saved his father, he skipped school. Then, he caught in one class, instead, he covered for Marius, and he was crossed off. Marius felt very sorry for him, but he said he was okay, since he had all the bad luck. He asked Marius where he lived, but Marius was got out of the house, he told Laigle his home was a cab. Just then, as another student got out of the cafe and called him, as 'Bossuet'.

He was Courfeyrac, a son of a noble family. Since he was called 'the center', he had many friends. Also, after that talk, he offered Marius a room.

So he got a room in a hotel de la Porte-Saint-Jacques, living with 'the center'.

One day Courfeyrac asked Marius what was his political opinion. Marius told him he was a democrat-Bonapartist. So he invited him to Cafe Musain, and introduced him to 'Les Amis de l'ABC: The Friends of the ABC'. This group was an association of revolutionary French young republican. The members are Enjolras the chief, Combeferre the guide, Courfeyrac the center, Bossuet the unlucky guy, Joly the hypochondriac, Jehan the poet, Bahorel the idler, Feuilly the Poland-lover fan maker, and Grantaire the drunkard. Marius sometimes joined this group and talked about his opinion.

Another day at their meeting at Musain, Bossuet(Note: The guy beside Courf is Bossuet of Il cuore di Cosette. At first, I knew he was Bahorel, since the brick Bossuet was bald.) said one word: June 18th, 1815, Waterloo. As a Bonapartist, of course, he made a short(... or long, maybe...) speech about how Napoleon made France great in front of republicans. But the chief Enjolras told this. "France needs no Corsica to be great. France is great because she is France. Quia nomina leo." But Marius kept on his speech and asking what greater thing than the Bonapartism is.

Combeferre gave the answer: to be free. After that incident, he wondered about what his faith was. But he could not abandon Bonapartism now, because it was what his father believed. He didn't go Cafe Musain for a while.

His only two friends were the old man Mabeuf, and the young man Courfeyrac. Time flew, and what he brought from Gillenormand's house was slightly running out.

okay so, by now, i feel like we all know that i like making obscure literature AUs for the sides

so, hey, lets delve into some 19th century french literature bc we all know that yesterday was barricade day, yes? june 5th, 1832, the day of the june rebellion where there was a rebellion in the streets of paris against the government that wasn’t successful (basically everyone died) that victor hugo immortalized ig in les miserables? right, we all know this? right? right? probably not bc who has time for a 1,200 page novel (i didn’t but i forced myself to have time) but still!!!

tw for one death mention at the end bc this is an au abt a book called “the miserables”. it’s gotta be at least somewhat kinda sad at one point.

for patton, i’m torn between fantine and cosette. bc, on the one hand, fantine is a mother that did anything to ensure that her child would be safe. she was left by this guy tholomyes (*shouts from the back* ASSHOLE) and she had a daughter named euphrasie (that’s cosette) and she had to give her daughter to the thenardiers (*shouts from the back* ALSO ASSHOLES AND TERRIBLE PEOPLE) and pay them to take care of her. except they kept lying to fantine and telling her that cosette was sick and they needed more money, but really they were just neglecting cosette and using the money for themselves. but fantine still did everything she could to make sure that her daughter was okay. so like, maternal/paternal love.

but then also patton as cosette??? patton as a character who has gone through so much hardship and has faced so many terrible experiences and people, and still turns out happy??? like it has been years since i read les mis but i’m pretty sure a quote related to cosette was something like, “laughter is the sun that wipes out winter from the human face.” like!!! pls give me patton as a character who is the literal embodiment of sunshine and happiness, even after one has gone through everything possible. please. i love cosette. (fun fact: amanda seyfried as cosette ended up being low key integral to my gay awakening)

and then logan as combeferre. combeferre was a part of les amis de l’abc and is considered one-third of the main “triumvirate”. in the triumvirate, while enjolras is the chief and courfeyrac is the centre, combeferre is the guide. so basically he’s the voice of reason of les amis,,,, some might even say,,,,,,,, the logical thinking one. he’s also incredibly smart. like. he studies medicine and philosophy and destroyed marius pontmercy’s, like, three page essay with three words: “to be free.” does that sounds like logan??? i think tf so. also in fanfics he is always the voice of reason like enjolras and courfeyrac are always like “HEY WE’RE GONNA DO THIS THING AND WE’RE GONNA DO IT NOW” and combeferre is like “CAN YOU TWO PLEASE SLOW DOWN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE” which is, lbr, very logan.

and then virgil is grantaire. grantaire is another member of les amis and he is the honorary cynic of the group. he believes the cause that they are fighting for is worthless and that it’s all going to end in shambles. and everyone is like “grantaire, you’re wrong” (*awkward cough*). and one day, enjolras is like, “do you even believe in anything?” bc if grantaire doesn’t believe in their cause, so what is he even doing there? and grantaire is like, “i believe in you.” also grantaire is an artist and he said something abt his dad being disappointed in him bc he can’t do math or something. also at one point, he’s like, “who plucked the stars from the night sky and put them in the candles?” but really he’s just complaining about the tavern being too bright. that’s some virgil level edginess. also, i think grantaire’s cynicism and virgil’s attitude go hand in hand. also this is leading into my final point:

so now, at this point, bc we all obviously have read old french literature and this is totally not some niche interest, you’re all like, “jordyn, roman is courfeyrac, right? romantic, charming, potential to be an asshole, the centre of the group? that basically spells out roman!!!” right? right? WRONG. roman is enjolras and i’m gonna tell you why. roman is romantic and charming, yes, i’m not denying that!!! he could be courfeyrac, but i personally think his drive and passion, and possibly even his stubbornness and his martyrdom, is what makes him enjolras. enjolras, as stated previously, is the chief of les amis. he’s their leader. often in fandom, he’s called a “leader in red”. every stage adaptation of les mis has him wearing his iconic red jacket. 

also one of the lines that describes enjolras, which is probably one of my favorite, is “a charming young man who was capable of being terrible”. something abt that also seems very roman to me bc, yes, while i love roman and he is great, we have seen him be harsh to the other sides. and while enjolras was typically a lot more harsher than i would give to roman, i think the two go hand in hand. also, enjolras was so passionate, he was nearly blinded by it. he believed in their cause so much they he believed they were either going to succeed or he was going to die trying. there really was no middle ground. also, most of enjolras and grantaire’s interactions were them arguing (hmmm sound familiar???). enjolras couldn’t stand grantaire’s attitude, and grantaire couldn’t see why enjolras would fight for something if it was only going to most likely kill him. enjolras had endless drive and passion and knew that their cause could be their demise, but he still fought until the very end for it when he and grantaire died together and i cried for like an hour

so this got extremely long and i have no shame omfg
