#enjoltaire lmao

[crispyflowerblaze]

billy joel songs that are just conceptually funny to me

that awkward moment when you go home with a guy and he thinks you want to hook up but you really just wanted to hear him play the saxophone. and this ends up ruining his life (christie lee; an innocent man)

when you're so distracted by your beautiful wife that you can't get anything done and all your friends make fun of you (temptation; the bridge)

stop being so mean to my wife!!!! (that's not her style; storm front)

phone sex (sometimes a fantasy; glass houses)

(i'm making a les mis reference, sorry if this makes no sense to you because you don't have enjoltaire brain rot lmao) ... literally just how grantaire would think of enjolras if he wasn't in love with him (prelude/angry young man; turnstiles)

huh, thought i would've had more lol

[crypticoddity]

First post hello!👋 Here’s a redraw of E and Rs death scene from Takahiro Arai’s manga adaptation of Les Mis.

[the-lark-not-the-dove]

you can say that enjolras is in love with france or grantaire or eponine or WHATEVER...you're all wrong. every last one of you. it is very clear that he is in love with Feuilly actually

I won one of @kjack89's 10 year anniversary giveaway fics, and they wrote the lovely fic linked above! 🥺

So of course I had to make some art for it. Here's to another decade, dude!! Congratulations!!

[determinedowl23]

these two actually confuse me so much bc i don’t really know who they are. like obviously it’s enjoltaire but it is most certainly hadley and ramin. on the other hand, it’s not just any ramley moment, it’s specifically them as enjolras & grantaire in the les mis 25th anniversary concert. in this production both pairs become blended into one ship that is impossible for me to separate

[thepigeonsfanart]

I know I've said this before but I am forever thinking about the time I made my mom watch los mis madrid and when Daniel Diges's Enjolras showed up the first thing she said was "is he gay?"

[mariusslonelysoul]

Enjoltaire at the barricade to these lyrics:

Enjolras is the chief, the leader, of course everybody wants him, his motivation, his instructions, his fervour; they all look at him, follow him, continue to kindle the flame he lights. And grantaire, grantaire knows he is not worthy, he doesn't belong there, the cynic amongst believers, yet they are his friends so with them he will stay. But enjolras isn't his friend, is he, grantaire doesn't deserve to stand and fall by his side. Grantaire stays with his friends, and of course he will die when and where they die, there is no other choice for him. He doesn't belong next to enjolras, he's usurping the place of the right hand and the center, but the moment has come, so he walks up to enjolras

help me pls

okay this is kind of a shot in the dark because i'm so minimally active on here but . if anyone has any good links to essays/written pieces/longer form media analyzing ExR could you please send them my way? i'm working on a video essay about the relationship between enjolras and grantaire (mostly in the book but i might include references to the musical/other adaptations i'm not sure yet) and how the queer subtext relates to the themes of the book. they don't necessarily need to be scholarly sources but the closer to that the better 👍👍

[snailcowboy]

when there's a beautiful intense slightly aloof leader who everyone loves and then there's some pathetic guy crawling around on his knees for the other guy's attention...that's what it's all about

grantaire @ the barricades, coincidentally also how i feel looking at american politics and trump becoming president again . i think the reason why les mis and enjoltaire still resonate w so many people is that it embodies the constant push and pull between hoping for and acting in the name of progress vs the feeling of helplessness as you watch things stay the same or regress. kind of acknowledging your own cynicism and trying to make your way out of it somehow, even if it feels like there’s nothing else to do or say.

reference: stephen hall as grantaire

og sketch: lmao

[random-ikea-drawer]

ok so i love les miserables

AND I JUST GOT TO SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE NORTH AMERICA TOUR (more specifically Montreal! (yes i flew to an entirely different country to see it)) and i am incredibly attached to enjolras and grantaire so here are just things i saw that made my nails dig into my thighs <3 (not just enjoltaire)

oh my dear months old source of no big sad

this is 90% incoherent rambling (SPOILERS)

- Grantaire had long hair and a long coat i think that deserves its own point

- During Red and Black, Grantaire did the old “Don Juan” with the bottle right in Enjolras’ face (he was not impressed)

- In this same song, Enjolras got really close to R’s face during “don’t let the wine go to your brain”

- Again, in Red and Black, when they tossed Grantaire’s bottle to Enj, teasing him, Grantaire grabbed the bottle in a… way… when he was giving it back to him

- Same song 😭 Grantaire was bouncing on a guy’s lap during the first few verses

- In DYHTPS, Grantaire pulled Gavroche aside away from the students crowding Enjolras (this broke my heart, he clearly loves him and doesn’t want him to be in a war)

- “Glad to do a friend a favor” with a very suggestive hand gesture

- In the “dogs will bark flees will bite”, Grantaire pointed a finger at Enjolras, the former getting real close putting his weapon between them. They got REALLY close

- Gavroche pulled the middle finger at Javert lmao

-Eponine fucking died (i knew that already, seen every bootleg and version available, still hit hard)

- During Eponine’s death Gavroche ran onto the stage, closely followed by Grantaire being held onto by Enjolras

- Gavroche tried approaching Eponine (that’s his sister bro :()) but was stopped and held onto by Grantaire. When she died however, Grantaire quickly bent to hug Gavroche, man the grief was so clear with them both.

- After she died, everyone cleared to their positions but Enjolras and Grantaire, seemingly for Enjolras to try and comfort him, but decided against it quickly and pushed past him. Grantaire placed his hand on his chest in mock offense 😭

- When the attack was about to start, Grantaire mocked and toyed with tied up Javert. When Enjolras called for hold, Grantaire threw his arms around Javert with a “yep!” and cue the battle starting immediately when that happened

- During Grantaire’s verse during Drink With Me, it’s back to Enjolras and Grantaire being center stage. Enjolras approached him, held onto his arm and with the same hand moved up to brush R’s hair, which lead to him breaking off the contact and rushing to the other corner of the stage.

-He was followed by Gavroche, who hugged him from behind and then they both fell asleep next to each other :((

- Gavroche fucking died (i knew he did still heartbreaking) and was caught by Enj, who handed him to Grantaire

- During the Gavroche solo, Grantaire stood center stage looking to the crowd, not even flinching when the gun sounded, only turning around when Gavroche was already at the top of the barricade

- He tried shaking him awake :(( then set him down and stared at him :((

- That was until Marius fell, Enjolras rushing to check on him, making Grantaire rush to his side

- R grabbed onto Enj and they both held the back of each other’s necks,, from my angle it looked like their foreheads touched but idk if they would do that but MANNN

-Enjolras fucking died first (no wtf :(( )

- Grantaire fucking died last (BRO.)

- Everyone fucking died bro

- Except Marius and JVJ of course

- Mr Thenardier, instead of singing “This one’s a queer but what can you do”, sang “This one’s a queer, I’ll try it to!” and dipped a guy in the wedding 😭

- The “to love another person is to see the face of god” line always makes me emotional just :((

that’s it haha hopefully y’all enjoy the ramblings, ty for reading this far, i seriously recommend going to watch it if you can it’s truly the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen man 😭 may be biased but i’m serious

[tired-jacs]

I didn’t know anything about the brick until literally yesterday but I just saw the US tour of Les Mis and when I tell you that Grantaire was not only so pretty (long hair Grantaire is so so good) but so flirty??? At one point he fully blew a kiss to Enjolras and I get it now… I understand Enjoltaire. I hadn’t even heard of them as a ship until yesterday (or even know their individual names) but I get it………

Also the amount of sweet big brother moments Grantaire had with Gavroche was so good!! They were hugging like every two seconds and it was so precious 🥹🥹🥹

(Also also if anyone is curious about this production of the show AMA! I saw it three times lmao (Edit: Saying I SAW it is slightly misleading lol I work as an usher at a theater, so it’d be more accurate to say I was THERE for three shows. I was just getting snippets in between monitoring the crowd sadly, but hopefully next time a production comes to our theater I’ll be able to truly watch it!))

Spoilers under the cut:

Also the fact that they don’t seem to have a direct moment of reconciliation before the final battle like in some productions (Enjolras seems to try but Grantaire seems to reject it, physically pushing him away) but then as Enjolras dies Grantaire reaches out for him as if to save him???????? And then he realizes he’s the only one left and after going back to look at Gavroche one more time throws himself to the top of the barricade to be killed…… I’m unwell…….

[thepigeonsfanart]

They are getting close

[determinedowl23]

ohhhhhmy god oh my god guyssjsjaidbwisjsis IT HAPPENED I SAW IT AND IT WAS AMAZING

Notes:

Act I

I NEED TO MARRY ALFIE BOE SOOOOO BAD BRUH YOU DONT EVEN GET IT

Alfie’s so short I forgot about that lmao he’s so baby

I do really really really love Michael but I can already tell that Javert is not exactly his thing. He’s too whimsical- too Marius. Super glad he gets to do something with Alfie tho <333

Jeremy (I think) rocked the bishop omgggggg

I WAS NOT EXPECTING KATIE HALL TO BE HERE CHAT- soprano Fantine is such a foreign concept to me but she was gorgeous 

THANK YOU BOEBALL VALVERT FOR BEING THERE FOR ME I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND AND HIS BOYFRIEND

THENARDIERS ARE SO FUNNY I’ve never seen funnier thenardiers. He called Cosette Baguette when Valjean took her away

Also at the beginning of the bargain when Alfie started singing Madame T went “oh he’s got a lovely voice tho”

COSETTE NEW PINK DRESS IS SO PRETTY!!!!! It matches Marius’ bow :))))

Ok both Eponine and Cosette were mixed bags for me- I liked them most of the time, but there were a couple times their voices felt a bit… nasally? They were both very pretty tho :)

James D Gish is beautiful. My dad says he’s the second coming of Ramin Karimloo and im inclined to agree

Gavroche is king shit as per usual

They had stars in stars omggg. ALSOOO at the end the lights make it look like he has wings. Probably unintentional but he’s soooooo fallen angelcore 

As much as Michael doesn’t fit Javert, his Stars really is amazing

WE GOT ENJOLTAIRE CRUMBS 👏👏👏 The entire pause between ABC Cafe and Red & Black they were just looking at each other forever

As much as I do love enjoltaire, im an even bigger fan of Gavroche and Grantaire’s dynamic. It was the main thing I noticed about R’s character (even with Kyle Adams playing him) and I’m so happy that it’s in other productions

No Javert barricade outfit in one day more :(

Three flags??? In this economy????

Act II

Okay I did genuinely forget about the barricade outfit but it did come back! It’s different from the Staged Concert, more greenish-black and I think he has his hair down- there’s at least some strands loose on the front

OKAYYYY IM REALLY SURE TGAT BEFORE R STARTED HIS SOLO IN DRINK WITH ME HE WENT AND HELD ENJ’S HAND FOR A BIT- and after he sang and Enj left Gavroche ran over and gave him a hug it was so sweet

Alfie Boe Bring Him Home is still my favoritest thing in the entire world. I owe him my life im so serious he was my top artist for a reason

Enjolras did the Aaron Tveit “until the earth is free” opt up it was amazing

They cut Gavroche’s individual death scene which was either for better or for worse because that’s the one that always gets me crying, so I just teared up at the end

When Javert let valjean and Marius go from the sewers he turned around as if he was gonna follow them, paused, screamed, and put his head and his hand

Dude michael ball does the best suicide scene he’s so unhinged and skdjaidhaisjsj

EMPTY CHAIRS BRO. At “phantom faces” the Amis all stood up in their places in their seats, with Enj, R, and Gavroche on the center balcony right by the conductor. Also at this point he begins to scream with anger at his survival. I’ve never thought about angry Empty Chairs, but it works so well and I need to see it more

Valjean in AHFoL Reprise made me so sad bro. Insert my post about him and Donna Sheridan but add that they’re so attached to their daughter (Amanda Seyfried) and kinda don’t want to let her go to get married

The audience clapped along to Beggars at the Feast. Don’t know if we were allowed to, but we did anyways

When Marius tells Cosette her father is a saint Valjean just shakes his head no oh my god 😭😭

HE DID THE NICK CARTELL NOSE BOOP WITH COSETTE

THE BISHOP COMES UP BEHIND VALJEAN WHEN HE DIES AND VALJEAN GIVES HIM THE BIGGEST HUG EVER OMFGGGGGG

During bows when Michael came up to bow with Alfie they had to switch sides so that Michael could be on the left and Alfie could be on the right. Order has been restored to the world

In summary: Amazing show god I love Les Mis!!!!! Alfie Boe is the only one who can save me <3333

[shamedumpster]

I was reminded I actually drew a followup to this back when I first posted this, oops! Angst treat for you <3

Enjoltaire Tangled AU anyone?

(in which instead of becoming a prince in the end, Enjolras decides to become a thief as well and he and Grantaire steal the crown and run away together. ☺️)

Thank you @pumpkinspice-prouvaire for being a co-conspirator on this silly little AU
