#bahorel supremacy

[midasinc]

to celebrate halloween what do u think the amis‘ favorite horror movies are?

oh my god wait can i do a halloween hc post and then answer this ask

ANYWAY

-halloween isn't really as popular in europe so for the majority of their lives, les amis literally don't care about halloween because it's just never been something they've celebrated. most of them don't even celebrate all saints day. the end of october is just the end of october

-CIRCA 2018: ENTER- BAHOREL! A MAN OF CANADA! A MAN OF THE PEOPLE! A MAN OF SPOOKS AND THRILLS!

-bahorel has celebrated halloween with his older sisters literally since he was a born. he was in a little pumpkin costume when he was a baby- there's photo evidence at his mom's house. anyway, he's a HUGE fan of halloween. it's his favourite holiday easily. anyway, when he moves to paris all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for his new life, he's utterly ecstatic to see the fall colours begin to appear in the city

-so one day with feuilly he's like "what are your plans for halloween? what are you dressing up as?"

-feuilly is kind of just like. what.

-and so bahorel is devastated to find that none of his friends celebrate halloween like he does. not even jehan. courfeyrac likes to get tiny pumpkins to put on his windowsill, but that's it

-the first halloween he's in paris, he stays at home and watches nightmare on elm street and eats his way through a bag of candy because he's bummed. this is his fave holiday and it feels like he can't celebrate it anymore

-bahorel is not a quitter, though, so the next year he tells everybody he's throwing a Totally Unassociated With Anything Else This Month Party and everybody needs to show up or else Bahorel Will Terminate Ties With You. this is not nonchalant at all and everyone is like "oh he's trying to do a halloween thing ig"

-jehan spends their day scrolling through pinterest to see halloween inspo and they end up getting really excited by the idea and shows up to bahorel's apartment in a costume they made on their own. it's a horrifying clown get up with like blood and gore and as soon as bahorel opens the door he yelps in surprise because oh my god jehan-

-courfeyrac also comes in a costume- he says it's a sexy deer but everybody thinks he's sexy rudolf from the christmas and courfeyrac is so aggravated like "do you see a red fucking nose? is my nose fucking red?"

-anyway, bahorel is overjoyed that he gets a full headcount and he tries pulling a full "let me show you the spirit of halloween!!!" and commences a movie marathon of every single halloween flick that he finds important enough to add. he also got lil candies and popcorn and decorates his apartment all orange and black and purple and he has a really good time

-the year after that, marius goes goth and he finds that he also likes the halloween spirit. he likes the spookiness and the vibes and spends the entire month watching horror and he is so addicted. carrie is his new fave movie and he has a great idea.

-anyway, on halloween night, bahorel gets courfeyrac completely covered in fake blood on his doorstep and for the second year- he's so freaked out at first. it literally looks like courfeyrac has been murdered, hit by a car, and then murdered again.

-things end up being fine after they have a good laugh about it, though, and marius, jehan, courfeyrac, and bahorel have another movie marathon

-it becomes tradition after that to scare bahorel on his doorstep. courfeyrac gets combeferre to show up as a zombie, jehan gets joly to come as a a vampire, grantaire comes as a scary clown and jehan calls him a copy cat (which starts and argument), feuilly shows up as his landlord with an eviction notice, bossuet comes as a sexy scary clown (which jehan and grantaire have to grumble and agree that it is original) and enjolras doesn't understand the assignment and just shows up like an elf because it was the only costume he has

-anyway, halloween becomes a regular for them. they don't always go over the top and they make it their own. most of them aren't huge on candy, but joly will bake a cake and jehan will bring pastries. enjolras wears his elf get-up every year because "you said a costume, courfeyrac, and this is a costume"

-bahorel loves his friends and he still loves halloween, even if it's different now

Which Les mis character is most likely to be Banksy

Javert- 0%, absolutely no chance are you kidding me dude lives for the Law(tm)

Jean Valjean- 10%, I feel like he'd probably be Banksy for the purpose of making Cosette happy and/or luring in Marius. Otherwise, he wants nothing to do with anything that could make Javert suspicious of him

Enjolras- 98%, he's an obvious contender but. Mans can't draw. He'd definitely need help from someone who knows what they're doing

Grantaire- 100%, dude was born to become Banksy like hello

Combeferre- 90%, he'd be a perfect Banksy because like no one would suspect him tho like he's the least suspicious person ever

Courfeyrac- 25%, I feel like he'd love spreading political messages whilst making art but the dude is so clumsy he'd definitely get caught straight away I'm sorry

Jehan- 70%, this doesn't need an explanation just Jehan as Banksy supremacy

Bahorel- 60%, dude would make an incredible Banksy and the messages would work so well but he'd get caught straight away you know he would

Feuilly- 50%, okay this can go either way. Firstly, I can't see Feuilly being Banksy at all but on the other hand maybe that's exactly why he'd be Banksy

Joly- 20% it's probable but... Eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bossuet- 1% he'd be an incredible artist but a bird would probably shit on it/he'd get arrested/he'd pick up the wrong paint by mistake and fuck up the whole thing

Marius- 0% Marius is too wimpy I'm sorry

Cosette- 95% yes Cosette would rock as Banksy are you kidding me she's be perfect

Eponine- 40% she'd probably do her artwork with someone else like R but idk

Gavroche- 100% the real identity is known and it's a feral 10 year old

Montparnasse- 12% he'd definitely be up for some crimes but, like enjolras, dude can't do art to save his life

Bahorel, politics and violence: headcanons

So, I recently did an enormous headcanon post for @midasinc, because they asked me to give them all of my Bahorel headcanons, and I ended up with a few ones about their politics that I feel merit their own post. What can I say, I wanted to have them have a relationship to violence that wasn’t just “they like getting in bar-brawls”... So here you have them.

Bahorel is a person of actions more than words. They aren’t Combeferre or Enjolras, who have read everything and can quote everything flawlessly, but they do have a clear vision of how they want the world to be and they will put everything on the line to get there. Also, they are a student who doesn’t go to class, they have a lot of free time to dedicate to the cause! So if you need someone to talk at a conference they are a bad choice, but if you need someone to put up posters on a school night, or to break the windows of a restaurant who doesn’t pay their employees, Bahorel is the one to call.

They do have A Lot of Opinions about the use of violence in protests. First of all, property destruction is not violence. If you care more about a few broken shop windows, or trashcans on fire, than you care about the objective of the protest, they have nothing more to say to you. Well, in all fairness they do have quite a few things to say to you, but none of them are constructive.

Also, more to the point, they consider that violence is a valid political tactic, and renouncing to it on principle is just playing right into your oppressors’ hands. Because let’s face it, they are not going to back off just for the goodness of their hearts. They don’t care about your suffering, but they do care about their own safety. They are confident that that’s never going to be threatened: let’s make them afraid.

They know a lot about historically violent movements, and won’t hesitate to hit you back if you tell them about a non-violent group who “actually got what they wanted” with no violence. Martin Luther King? Yeah, I’m sure the Black Panthers had nothing to do with the end of segregation. Gandhi? Well, let me tell you about the violent movements going on at the same time...

In any case, they’ll argue, self-defense is acceptable, and what’s patriarchy, capitalism, white supremacy, if not systemic violence? And what about police violence? Going to talk about it? What are we supposed to do? Just lay back and take it?

Antifa and proud. They are also in a queer black bloc. They swear that nothing will change your relationship to the police faster than charging back at them and knowing you have comrades who will cover your back.

On that line, they do self-defense workshops for queer people. At first they did them with Grantaire, but after a while and way too many “well, yeah, you can do that, but you’re both big, tall and jacked, I’m not”, they asked Éponine to help them. Noone can say that Éponine is jacked (she’s 1,50m and weighs around 45kg), but she can definitely break your nose if you’re not careful. And she also has some great advice on how to carry yourself to scare people off before they try anything. Bahorel will freely admit that they have learned quite a few things themself out of those workshops.

Hope you like them!

📖

give me some plot to fantasize about pls

Sorry for dumping this long-ass post asld;kfjakl;fjdsk I've always had this Star Trek AU in my head for Les Amis- Part of their roles are kinda based on Star Trek TOS characters (aka kirk, spock, etc.) but not too much because their personalities are pretty different.

Also keep in mind that since I'm not a hardcore trekkie I'm bound to have some minor mistakes a;sldkfjal;fj

Marius is a xenobotanist. Cosette is the nurse he is helplessly in love with. Eponine is the badass chief of security.

Bossuet is an unlucky red-shirt (or a lucky red-shirt, if you think about it, because he's managed to not die yet). Joly is the chief medical officer who has a hypospray (aka shot) for every malady. Musichetta is the chief communications officer.

Enjolras - the captain of the USS Patria He's always on the brink of facing court martial because he has differing ideologies to starfleet command and breaks their regulations far too often. He loves his job but hates Starfleet, the only reason he's working for them is because he has dreams about reforming it.

Combeferre- the first officer & the scientific officer

Courf- the flight control officer (yeah yeah I know it's TOS and the helmsman and navigator haven't been combined to make this job yet but I wanted to make him more important)

In true Star trek fashion, the triumvirate constantly makes stupid sacrifices to save each other.

Grantaire - the ship's historian

He's rarely on active duty because of the nature of his job. He and Enj regularly debate (read: yell at each other) about the Prime Directive and whether it's moral to not interfere with a more primitive civilization if it's under authoritarian rule. He paints space landscapes as a hobby, and sells his works under the pseudonym R. he also paints Enjolras a lot but that's not exactly sellable.

Marius - the xenobotanist

He works in the science department under Combeferre, who's a wonderful friend but a terrifying boss, so he's always a little scared of him.

Cosette - the nurse

She's dating Marius, of course. No one dares to cross her because she'll make your medical exam hell.

Eponine - the badass chief of security

Marieposette are dating btw because I believe in Marieposette supremacy

Bahorel - the chief engineer

He drinks far too much on the job but he's also a miracle-worker so everyone just ignores it.

Feuilly - the commanding officer of beta shift

Bossuet - a security offier aka a redshirt

He's known for being terribly unlucky, whenever he's in the landing party he gets shot/kidnapped/etc. But if you think about it, he's pretty lucky for a lucky redshirt, , because he's managed to not die yet.

Joly - the chief medical officer

He's the mother hen of the group, and has a hypospray (aka shot) for every malady.

Musichetta - the chief communications officer

bahorel deserves to wear skirts. short, tight skirts. long, flowy skirts. denim skirts and poofy skirts and any skirt at all

[midasinc]

bahorel listens to Green Day

HE DOES. POP PUNK EMO BAHOREL IS MY AGENDA AND MY JAM. HE’S ALL I CARE ABOUT

[midasinc]

i dunno if yall have heard the revamped version of “im not a vampire” that falling in reverse made earlier this year but bahorel has the whole thing memorized and plays it every time he’s driving and he gets SO into it that it’s scary. if he’s giving someone a ride, they’re so terrified of him accidentally crashing. this is his bohemian rhapsody.

Feral garbage rat climbing out of the sewers to ask for headcannons please 🙏🙏🙏

im going to leave out some cheese on a plate for the garbage rats as i make this post <3

these are just some random modern hcs i have:

-gavroche cant swim. he’s never been in a situation where he’s had to and one summer in my au where feuilly and éponine are friends, feuilly takes him and azelma and éponine to a public pool and gavroche is just standing there like. now what. anyway feuilly spends the summer teaching him how to swim

-jehan and montparnasse both dress like 2017-2019 hypebeasts because they love brands like gucci and supreme and think they look cool. jehan has the disposable income for clothes like that but montparnasse uses the only money he gets on them

-triumvirate all have diff body ratios. enjolras has long legs and a short torso, combeferre has even torso:legs, and courfeyrac has a long torso and short legs

-facial hair hcs: grantaire is unshaven and has a mustache, joly has a mustache, ferre has sideburns, bahorel has a mustache and beard, and enjolras is desperately trying to grow out his facial hair. it doesnt work for him for years until eventually his hair gets thicker and darker and bam! mustache

-jehan and grantaire friendship supremacy. they’re roommates and the entire apartment looks like howl’s bedroom in howl’s moving castle

-valjean and cosette are both really good at games like mahjong, chess, and mancala and love to play together in their free time. cosette grew up without a lot of like 21st century tech bc valjean is kind of an Old Dude so in college she asks her roommates and friends to play board games and such with her and they’re kind of like “…uh….oh…kay?”

-speaking of chess, courfeyrac is like a chess prodigy. he’s really really fucking smart despite the way he acts and the sluttery he gets up to and in his free time he plays 5d chess. with like, time travel and all that. he understands how it works and is genuinely really invested in playing so in his free time he’s usually doing that

[midasinc]

modern era eponine hcs:

-eponine uses she/they pronouns

-95% of her clothes are thrifted. her family has had to thrift clothes since forever and it really bothers her when thrifting becomes a trend. they try not to gatekeep, but one of their biggest pet peeves are people who go in and take all of the cute pieces of clothing to resell and leave nothing for the people who actually depend on thrifted clothing. a lot of les amis know that her situation with clothing is difficult, so she ends up getting a lot of hand-me-downs from them and it makes her feel happy. she's got a couple pairs of enjolras's old sweatpants, some of combeferre's old jeans (and oh my god eponine has to roll them up so far) and a bunch of jehan's sweaters

-eponine wants to be an author. they've been creative writing since they were ten and there have been several evolutions of their writing. middle school was a lot of happy endings, high school was angst and only angst, and throughout uni and her adult life, she's begun finding a style that suits her really well and her writing is very dynamic and crafted with love and anyone who reads her work can tell

-they're also really good at screenwriting. grantaire has commissioned them before to help on a project he was doing and eponine was very professional, quick, and had a flawless draft. he was incredibly impressed when he got it back

-she's trying really really hard to be a good big sister to gavroche. eponine regrets having a short temper with him when she was in high school and she's been trying to make it up with letting him stay at their apartment, buying him nice things when she can afford it, and trying to be more responsible in the future. they aren't sure how to prove that they're sorry and saying it out loud seems weird, but she's genuinely trying

-eponine is a dog walker for the dogs in their building. every day, they round up the dogs in the building and take them out on a route to a dog park. it's pretty okay money and they really enjoy the company of dogs. when gavroche is over for the weekend, eponine will take him along for the walk because he loves dogs just as much

-after rebuilding their relationship with cosette, eponine spends a lot of their time with her. cosette is a really good listener and advice giver when things are rough for eponine and eponine goes to all of her ballet company's performances and gets her flowers after every show. they get brunch every wednesday at what they've dubbed as their cafe and they just talk smack about the people they know for an hour and a half over coffee and crepes

-they have a really bad cat allergy. being around cats makes eponine so sneezy and her eyes will water until she leaves the premise. she loves all of her friends who own cats, but they will absolutely not step foot into any of those people's apartments because eponine will just be in misery the entire time

-EPONINE AND JEHAN BFF SUPREMACY. they have sleepovers all the times and eponine is one of the only people who isn't afraid of jehan's pet rats. jehan will do eponine's nails and neaten them up and they can talk about this and that and it's very therapeutic for them both. they also compete in a local baking competition every year (and they never place- BUT THIS YEAR IS A NEW YEAR!)

-they don't mind presenting femininely, but they prefer to use men's colognes and deodorants and body sprays and they always smell really nice

-eponine also wears a ton of jewlery. they don't believe in jewlery segregation. they'll wear gold necklaces and silver earrings and beaded bracelets and rubber bracelets and silver rings and whenever someone points it out, they just say "it's camp"

-eponine and courfeyrac stoner solidarity. she never keeps weed in the house though because she doesn't want azelma and gavroche to think she's "on the wrong path", so eponine only goes over to smoke with courfeyrac. it's normally just a nice way to unwind and watch the clouds in the sky move. they're gonna buy a dab pen off of courfeyrac though because sometimes they'd prefer to get high alone and the smell and everything is a lot less obvious with a pen

-all of eponine's sneakers are scuffed as hell. she wears a lot of skate shoes but she has never stepped foot on a skateboard before. eponine has 100% lied about being able to ollie when someone is like "do you even skate" but she doesn't even know what an ollie is- she just knows the word from courfeyrac

-eponine has a couch that she got bahorel to help pick up off the side of the road. it's an old 60s couch that's bright orange. at the time of finding it, the couch was gross and dirty, but they spent hours cleaning it and reupholstering it and now they have the most beautiful orange couch anyone has ever seen. it's the staple of eponine's apartment. if it ever had to get thrown out, everyone would be upset- that couch is a part of the friend group at this point

[midasinc]

modern era jehan hcs:

-jehan is the only member of les amis still in university. they're in their senior year atm and they're majoring in theatre! courfeyrac is already planning an extravagant grad party

-(from pet hcs) they're really handy and creative with diy projects and work around the apartment, so jehan has created an entire play area for their rats. it's very big, very elaborate so that they don't get bored when jehan is at class

-speaking of being handy, bahorel/feuilly/jehan are practically a maintenance crew for the rest of their friends. jehan in particular is weirdly good at sorting out plumbing problems and issues with showers, so they'll always take on a job for something small in return (typically just lunch)

-for the past year and a half, jehan has had a podcast with enjolras. they do three episodes a week (when possible): two that are about whatever jehan wants to blabber on about and one where enjolras can rant and rave about politics, politicians, companies, and whatever else is bothering him atm. jehan's youtube channel has gotten suspended before due to enjolras's "inflammatory language", so now they have a printed out list of words/phrases enjolras isn't allowed to use when they're on-air. there's also an episode where one of jehan's rats crawls into enjolras's lap when he isn't paying attention and when he notices, he shrieks so loud that it momentarily blows out his mic.

-the podcast only has 38 listeners, but to jehan that is a HUGE number

-jehan is really big into nail care. whether that means taking care of their cuticles or painting their nails, they are very particular about how they treat their hands and their nails. their hands are always moisturized and their nails are always clipped evenly and filed into uniform shapes. when other people are over, jehan will do their nails and let them go off about their life

-they also belong to a slam poetry organization and they love slam poetry, but they haven't ever won a competition. their excuse is that their poetry is too deep for everyone else (in reality, their delivery is so corny but they don't know that yet)

-(from tween era hcs) eponine is actually a really good friend of jehan's! they were in that creative writing club together in middle school and to this day, jehan will send her poems they wrote and will receive short stories that eponine wrote herself. jehan brought her to the slam poetry club one time, but eponine accidentally started laughing during someone else's act and got the both of them kicked out for the night. they really like having her over for sleepovers and movies

-i believe in chub jehan supremacy. jehan is perfect for being a big spoon and they have ass for days goodbye and goodnight

-THEIR HAIR IS NOT NATURALLY GINGER !!!!! jehan dyes their hair, like, every other month. their natural hair is very very dark. they get it from their mom, who's from tahiti and immigrated from french polynesia before marrying jehan's dad and jehan really resembles their mom. they tan super easily and have a naturally dark complexion, but they saw a ginger model one time on instagram and started vibrating because they decided in that instant that they were going to dye their hair. at the moment, their roots are very grown out; they havent had time to hit the hair salon

-they have this one gucci shirt that- oh my god. everyone hates it. jehan thinks it's so awesome but oh my god it's awful. nowhere near worth the price. courfeyrac wants to steal it in the middle of the night and throw it away but jehan would beat the shit out of him. they think it's the best purchase they ever made (asides from their rats <3) and they flaunt it like they're at the met gala. they essentially ARE at the met gala- but they're the celebrity that everyone roasts for three years afterwards because it's THAT ugly
