can’t quite place my finger on it, but there’s something so heart-rending and tragic about joly and lesgles dying with a blocked nose… something something it’s so humanising??? like they’re in this big epic and dying heroically but at the end of the day they still have a cold bc they’re just regular people? idk i’m rambling

Ultimate Polyship Tournament:Round 57|Side A

Propaganda under the cut:

Joly/Bossuet/Musichetta

"Laigle de Meaux, as the reader knows, lived more with Joly than elsewhere. He had a lodging, as a bird has one on a branch. The two friends lived together, ate together, slept together. They had everything in common, even Musichetta, to some extent." This is what canon had to say, and the brick was written in the 19th century. If that is not a policule I don't know what is. This ship is so strong in the fandom that you almost never see any of them shipped with any other characters.

Lesgles truly is the character ever because he’s bald and unlucky and that’s pretty much the only thing that anyone really pays attention to but then you start to investigate literally any detail that Hugo ever wrote about him and you begin to unravel like a multiverse of puns and wordplay about French history, religion, and politics and then you start to ask yourself, well, wait a minute, why did Hugo put so much thought into this background character who has a few witticisms and doesn’t really do much and so you start to investigate what exactly his deal is, like, what does baldness mean in a Hugolian context and what’s with his Bad Luck and hey, wait a minute, what do his “persecutions on the part of fate” imply in the broader context of Les Misérables, and so now you’re questioning core tenets of the rules of the narrative and then you look at his role in the book and the way that his misfortune is tied to the fortunes and fates of everyone he interacts with and the impact that he has on the events of the story and then you realize that the Bad Luck bit and the puns are really just a way to distract you from the fact that Laigle de Meaux is in fact some small god of the Les Mis universe.

Marius sandwiched between the Amis 😈Posting the WIP because its still Barricade Day in Canada!!

[i-ideate]

If you had to choose a least favorite member of Les Amis, who would you pick? I know this is hard lol

I would have to pick Feuilly or Bahorel (probably the latter). I don't know as much about them, and they aren't very prominent in the fics I've read. I don't dislike them at all, other members (Grantaire lmao) just take precedence over them.

For me, Laigles/Bousset... To be fair...I have only finished a heavily abridged version of Les Miz, so my knowledge of him is quite brief, but I didn't like him that much, yk? I have barely gotten to Cosette's part in my other more expansive version, so I might change my mind later on!
