Les Amis as French verb tenses:

Enjolras: futur antérieur. Used to denote future actions that will specifically happen before other actions or time frames. Example: Nous aurons renversé le gouvernement avant le fin du siècle (We will have overthrown the government before the end of the century.)

Combeferre: futur simple. Used to generally denote future actions, albeit sometimes with less connotation of immediacy. Example: Je lirai un nouveau livre (I will read a new book.)

Courfeyrac: présent. The standard present tense, used to express what is currently happening. Example: Il est heureux (He is happy.)

Jehan: passé simple. A form of the past tense seen most often in literature rather than in modern spoken French. Used for narrating actions with a definite beginning and end. Example: Vous écrivîtes ce poème (You wrote this poem.)

Feuilly: futur proche. Used to denote actions definitely happening in the near future, similar to futur antérieur but without the expectation of specifically occurring before anything. Formed by conjugating the verb aller (to go) with the infinitive of the main verb. Example: Le monde va être égal (The world is going to be equal.)

Bahorel: imparfait. A past tense that denotes previous states of being or actions without a defined start or end. Example: L'émeute était puissante (The riot was powerful.)

Joly: conditionnel. A tense in which the action described is contingent upon another factor. Also used for polite requests. Example: Je voudrais une baguette, s'il vous plaît (I would like a baguette, please.)

Bossuet: infinitif. The unconjugated form of a verb, which encompasses the action or state of being in its essence, with no modifiers. Examples: être (to be), parler (to speak), choisir (to choose), etc.

Grantaire: subjonctif. A tense with no strict English equivalent, generally used to express doubt, negation, uncertainty, fear, desire, superlativity, and (perhaps surprisingly) necessity, among other things. It's often considered a difficult tense to master, particularly when one's first language doesn't have an equivalent, due to many irregularities and exceptions in its formation. Example: Je ne crois pas que tu comprennes (I don't believe that you understand.)

DONATIONS FOR GAZA

As you probably know, the situation in Gaza gets worse every day. At this stage, every donation, no matter how small, might make a difference between life and death for someone trying to escape Rafah.

Donate as little as 7$ today and you get a sketch or a small illustration of yourself, an animal, a friend - whatever it is that you want.

You can find the full spreadsheet of families here: Operation Olive Branch

or you can donate to one of the randomized gofundmes from here: Gaza Funds

Send me proof of your donations and the details for the artwork you desire. YOU CAN SEND IT THROUGH DMs OR EMAIL ME (email and useful links here:)

Depending on how busy this gets, commissions might take two days or more.

*Biggers commissions are available for bigger donations! You can see illustrations I did in the past here.

Imagine you invite your roommate to hang out with you and your lefty anarchist friends and everyone’s having a great time until roommate starts talking how cool Bill Clinton was and how awesome the American military industrial complex is and how great it is that the American military is present in every country and now you’re the guy who brought the neoliberal to the anarchist meeting and also this guy has never once paid you rent.

Similar thing happened to my good pal Courfeyrac Les Misérables

Oh to have a large friend group where we all have French names despite living in NYC and our biggest problem is *extremely vague political meeting*

[aca-ttacka]

i have always held the belief that enjolras has this bizarre form of social anxiety where if u put him in front of a crowd he is incredibly persuasive and charming and charismatic. like public speaking is his calling . but the second u attempt to start regular conversations with him he starts internally flipping out and doesn't know what to do with himself. and people are always surprised by the fact that hes a secret endearing weirdo in person for a bit if they know him from public speaking and maybe think hes being cool. there are 4 million things happening in his head before he can answer the question 'how are you'

I love as a community we have all forgotten how Victor Hugo written that Grantaire is supposed to be ugly and they have put the most attractive men to play Grantaire. I love that.
