asexual and demiromantic enjolras, you’ll always have a place in my heart

I thought they made this up for the 2012 movie but no he actually said that

[permit-it]

hey sorry your boyfriend started a doomed revolution, yeah he called out to the people to join him and they said no. he's facing down the national guard rn. don't want to rub it in but he's holding hands with his narrative foil in their last moments as I type this. no I don't think he's coming back. sorry.

unable to decide if enjolras would love or hate the olympics rn

like yes! patriotism, acceptance, an excuse to sing and make half drunk speeches about france! then grantaire will get drunk and i will pretend to hate it but will secretly enjoy taking care of him!

but on the other hand. “why is the government we fought to have spending so much money on the olympics and playing the song we used during a rebellion when there are actual people dying and fighting and rebelling there are so many other things we should be doing.”

Being Jewish (or just not Christian in general) can make reading Les Mis such a funny experience. It’s such a catholic story. But I always forget that and I’m sitting there wondering why characters make certain choices and then I remember and I’m like “Oh right. Jesus.”

my favorite thing about les mis is that every couple of chapters Victor Hugo likes to go oh! who is that mysterious old man?? who could it be???? its a mystery! he's super buff btw, but who is it! Oh! sacre bleu! It's Jean Valjean! who would have ever guessed!

I did, Victor. I guessed.

if you're wondering what the big deal is about the louis-philippe sentence in les misérables, it is, in the original french, 760 words long. the subject of the sentence doesn't appear until 95% of the way through, at word #711; the main verb is word #712. the sentence contains 91 commas and 49 semicolons and is almost entirely a list of laudatory adjectival phrases describing the erstwhile king of france. this is perhaps especially notable because les mis is, shall we say, not known for being particularly gung-ho about the monarchy.

this sentence copied and pasted into Word takes up more than one page single-spaced. in the 1800-page folio classique edition, it is fully two and a half of those 1800 pages. that means that les mis is 0.14% this single sentence. more of les mis is made up of this sentence than earth's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide (0.04%). if the page count of les mis stayed the same but every sentence was the length of this one, les mis would consist of only 720 sentences total.

incidentally, guess who named hugo a peer of france 17 years before the publication of les mis?

[raisin-gran]

sometimes i wish that les miserables took place in the usa. not for any valid or smart reasons, but just because i think it would be funny for enjolras to be like this guy

[mcd217]

Enjolras is going crazy rn
