i always picture éponine as filipino because of lea salonga - and fun fact when i was a child I thought lea salonga was the PINNACLE of feminine beauty. i saw her singing a whole new world dressed as jasmine once, and i was four years old praying to God like why did you not make look like her. very common little gay thoughts. etc. so when i saw her in that 10th anniversary concert as éponine and her acting was so intense as she was singing so perfectly.. that image was permanently etched into my brain and i’ve no regrets

Does anyone have any SEAsian les mis headcanons cause i want to hear as a southeast asian its so interesting to hear pls drop it

#i also FIRMLY believe azelma is actually the daughter of an arab merchant who stumbled into their inn #and stumbled into mme’s all too willing arms #she would 1000% try to live out her orientalist fantasies AND flaunt it to monsieur by naming her ‘azelma’#imo this is why she kept azelma. éponine was the firstborn daughter so they kept her... and azelma was mme’s souvenir #and then they abandoned all their other children #so. SWANA azelma is a hill i would die on #but by that logic who knows? mme could have also stepped out with éponine’s father… her children could look like a UN meeting
