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.

look, I'm a tired demographics student with too much time on their hands and an undying love for polls, so..

I'm also deeply interested in fandom demographics... from my 4 long long (yet relatively short) years in this fandom I've noticed that the Les Mis fanbase does tend to be older than other fandoms I've been in, (though this obviously depends on the platform you're on, for example, the falsettos fandom on tiktok seems to have a lot of 12-15 year olds, to my great surprise) and I just like analysing why that is! I know other fandoms have/have had sort of "fandom demographics" polls which I've always found super interesting... while I'm not necessarily trying to recreate that, I do find this interesting to look at!

Needless to say the more people see this the more representative and accurate the results will be so PLEASEEE reblog thiss and make my little demographer-to-be heart happy

my favorite insignificant scene in Les mis is the scene where grantaire and javert spend a very brief 2 minutes together and grantaire IMMEDIATELY clocks the homo energy between Valvert . And proceeds to use that newfound knowledge to tease jav

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

I T ' S T H E M ! ! !

I got video of Grantaire saying "I'm one of them, long live the republic" so I thought I'd share

[wow-its-grantaire]

this idea has been in my mind for days so I simply must share!!

So Enjolras and Grantaire get to have 'deathbed confessions' during a moment of calm and they have a conversation that goes something like:

Grantaire: Okay... Uh... I'm in love with you.

Enjolras: Wow. Nice... Uhm I.

Grantaire: ....?

Enjolras: I killed several people over the past few days.

Grantaire: WHAT

If you feel like using this ask as a distraction from everything: What are some of your favorite Grantaire-centric fics?

<3 thank you for this, i hope you’re doing okay

my all-time favourite les mis fic is still these things take time — while the perspective flips between grantaire and enjolras, i would put it down as grantaire-centric as it largely revolves around him getting sober. i know it’s a big one but if you haven’t read it i cannot recommend it highly enough

dressing apollo is one of my faves! the way it explores his character through the way he works is so brilliant

i recently loved en qui rampait le doute which is a grantaire fleabag au >:) it works so naturally as a crossover it’s almost unbelievable. this is the only non-exr fic on this little list today, however i believe there is a fic for fleabag series 2 in the works which i assume will introduce that aspect….

i’ll end on another big one: i’m not the moon (i’m not even a star) always bangs. always

thank you for the ask! looking through my bookmarks for these made me realise that i think i tend to gravitate towards more enjolras-centric fics, so this was a very interesting question to get! if anyone has recommendations for me i would be more than happy to receive them <3

ive seen that one us tour enjolras and grantaire gif from the last barricade battle 8 times in 4 different angles im fucking crying you guys sure love the gays

[the-lark-not-the-dove]

i know enj would hate being compared to a prince, but enjolras and grantaire were actually prince henry fox mountchristen windsor and first son alex claremont-diaz in another life.

Raymond Walsh always coming in strong with that fan service 🤣🤣

[lesbian-thesbian]

dare I say grantaire coded

[hamletauxherbes]

i cant sleep so obviously i will add all the thing i Noticed about grantaire and enjolras during the concert (as long as i can remember because my memory is so bad). during red and black (i cant remember when in the song....), grantaire "push" "jockingly" enjolras away and nothing more happen. i heard enjolras (softly, or it's the mics) shout "ENOUGH" during R's verse in drink with me AND THEN gavroche gave a hug to grantaire (i almost cried). during the whole barricade, gavroche and grantaire interacted a lot (as usual i think, they like to make them friends). finally, at the epilogue, grantaire and enjolras are standing next to each others, in the background, on top of the scene.

les miserables arena tour in luxembourg (25/10/24) with bradley jaden as javert and james d. gish as enjolras! i was so happy to also see michael ball & raymond walsh. eponine (emily bautista) was sooo good!

i hope i'll see the musical in london one day
