#les mis finale

[nortism]

Talking to people outside your fandom about your media of choice is always so interesting because after a while in fandom, you get used to the same old discourse but in real life you will be hit with some completely orginal and insane takes. I was taking about Les Misérables to some family friends over Christmas and they tried to argue that Javert was a completely unnecessary part of the plot. Like he didn’t need to be there at all. Truly a level of discourse that some of you on tumblr could only dream of coming up with

An incredible find! Two lengthy clips from the Original Broadway Cast of Les Mis, 1987.

The Runaway Cart/Who Am I?/Come to Me/Confrontation.

And the Epilogue.

Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean, Terrence Mann as Javert, Randy Graff as Fantine, Judy Kuhn as Cosette, David Bryant as Marius, and Frances Ruffelle as Éponine.

Wow!

throw me in the deep end, i'm ready now to swim

enjolras/grantaire, enjolras & cosette | rated t | chapter 26/26

“Shut up,” says Enjolras, although not unkindly. With a gentle hand in Grantaire’s hair, he pulls Grantaire’s face up until they can look each other in the eye again. “What changed?” Grantaire rubs his woven bracelet along Enjolras’ knee. “You. Me. Everything. Nothing.”

Read on ao3.

So, I decided to follow along for Dracula Daily this year

And

And

Jonathan Harker is going on a road trip :D

yeah, he's pretty stoked about it! and even more excited to tell his fiancée all about it soon 😄😄

[fluentisonus]

when the last volume in the whole novel is called "jean valjean"

[nortism]

Enjolras canonically has a big old forehead and I won’t let any of you forget this

[shamedumpster]

enjolras for palette 41!! is it okay to request a 2012 reference for this? i have no preference but i’m just curious :D

I will never turn down an excuse to draw Enjolras in a warm color palette! Behold, the priest of the ideal.

Thank you for the ask! Prompt from this list.

brb babe im just crying to the french version of les mis and how the epilogue includes the line 'un rêve peut mourir mais on n'enterre jamais l'avenir' (a dream may die, but the future can never be buried), which slaps and harkens back to fantine singing about how her dream has been killed. the french version is just so much more explicit in its revolutionary message than the english lyrics which mainly focuses on the afterlife. the french version literally says 'pour une seule barricade qui tombe, cent autres se leveront demain' (for every barricade that falls, a hundred more will rise tomorrow).

because it is not just about individual suffering and redemption after death. we as a society can learn from our collective flaws and shortcomings, but we need to both recognize and empathize with the pain caused in order to create something better. and because we as humans have the ability to do that, the future is never truly lost. so fantine's dream is dead but that dream meant something, and it echoes. by god it echoes and i am crying
