some les mis fanart i drew

[weiwuxiankinnie]

A pontifical and warrior nature, strange in a youth. He was officiating and militant; from the immediate point of view, a soldier of democracy; above the movement of the time, a priest of the ideal

I've been a Les Mis fan since 2012, but I am in total brainrot right now. I've recently watched the BBC series of Les Misérables, so I couldn't help but draw Joseph Quinn as Enjolras. I really loved his performance. I can't wait to draw Enjoltaire together!

Rules: put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for their favourite!

Omg, thank you sm @octarineblues for tagging me, I'm always happy to be allowed to talk about music, ha.

Alright, let's see what we'll get!

and about the tags: @abignopefromme, @lunalunaris, feel free to join the game if you want, as well as anyone who stumbles upon this post by chance.

Oh god, these are so random actually! But I'd say that I'm pretty happy with them, even though randomizing "Master of the house" out of all Les mis songs and aaaaaall the versions of them is... well... I don't even like this song that much.

I am however happy that "Tonight I Feel Like Kafka" found its way onto the list as it is one of my favourite songs ever!

Aannnnddd we also have a competitor from Poland - Lordofon!!

Barricade day 2023

the June rebellion of 1832

In honour of what we Les Misérables fans call “Barricade day” or June 5th, here is a run down of the 1832 June rebellion, it’s causes, consequences, why it happened at all, the aftermath and how it inspired Victor Hugo to write his perhaps most well known novel and famous 90s pop operatic musical. 

Disclaimer here. 

No formal tags, but, poking: @virgosjukebox, @enjolras-the-revolutionary, @honorhearted & @withinycu in case this interests them.

why did it happen?: June 5th, 1832. The June rebellion, in French: Insurrection républicaine à Paris en juin 1832. France is in in fighting yet again, the constitutional monarchy is replaced with the, to some autocratic president Casimir Pierre Périer, on 16 May 1832. 2 years prior the July revolution had occured, additionally such is the world and the 1830s the people of France are hungry, tired and are looking for a fight. The death of commander Lemarque as mentioned in the book and the musical only pushed the common people further. In short many factors led to the June rebellion. The primary factors however, were... political unrest, inability to feed the working classes and civil unrest as well as influx of new ideas following the exit of Napoleon. 

Consequences: such as every failed uprising goes, the revolutionaries paid dearly for it severe trials followed the June rebellion many were put to death (hanged or shot), many of the leaders of the uprising were, like the American revolution college age school boys or simply angry common people. Famously the person who waved the symbolic red flag of revolt was a Parisian artist who was nearly put to death but escaped via trial.

In pop culture: I don’t need to say it but I am saying it anyway, many only know or care about the June Rebellion because of Hugo’s novel. Additionally, unlike the musical, the book, whilst possessing some hope paints a rather bleak picture of humanity and uprising. Even so, it’s political commentary (novel) holds up and I’ve attended many a political protest to see signs bearing the words, “do you hear the people sing?”

hubris is a terrible thing.

Every time One Day More comes on, I have full confidence in my ability to sing it.

I can never sing it.

And then it comes on again.

And so the cycle continues.
