ok so i love les miserables

AND I JUST GOT TO SEE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE NORTH AMERICA TOUR (more specifically Montreal! (yes i flew to an entirely different country to see it)) and i am incredibly attached to enjolras and grantaire so here are just things i saw that made my nails dig into my thighs <3 (not just enjoltaire)

oh my dear months old source of no big sad

this is 90% incoherent rambling (SPOILERS)

- Grantaire had long hair and a long coat i think that deserves its own point

- During Red and Black, Grantaire did the old “Don Juan” with the bottle right in Enjolras’ face (he was not impressed)

- In this same song, Enjolras got really close to R’s face during “don’t let the wine go to your brain”

- Again, in Red and Black, when they tossed Grantaire’s bottle to Enj, teasing him, Grantaire grabbed the bottle in a… way… when he was giving it back to him

- Same song 😭 Grantaire was bouncing on a guy’s lap during the first few verses

- In DYHTPS, Grantaire pulled Gavroche aside away from the students crowding Enjolras (this broke my heart, he clearly loves him and doesn’t want him to be in a war)

- “Glad to do a friend a favor” with a very suggestive hand gesture

- In the “dogs will bark flees will bite”, Grantaire pointed a finger at Enjolras, the former getting real close putting his weapon between them. They got REALLY close

- Gavroche pulled the middle finger at Javert lmao

-Eponine fucking died (i knew that already, seen every bootleg and version available, still hit hard)

- During Eponine’s death Gavroche ran onto the stage, closely followed by Grantaire being held onto by Enjolras

- Gavroche tried approaching Eponine (that’s his sister bro :()) but was stopped and held onto by Grantaire. When she died however, Grantaire quickly bent to hug Gavroche, man the grief was so clear with them both.

- After she died, everyone cleared to their positions but Enjolras and Grantaire, seemingly for Enjolras to try and comfort him, but decided against it quickly and pushed past him. Grantaire placed his hand on his chest in mock offense 😭

- When the attack was about to start, Grantaire mocked and toyed with tied up Javert. When Enjolras called for hold, Grantaire threw his arms around Javert with a “yep!” and cue the battle starting immediately when that happened

- During Grantaire’s verse during Drink With Me, it’s back to Enjolras and Grantaire being center stage. Enjolras approached him, held onto his arm and with the same hand moved up to brush R’s hair, which lead to him breaking off the contact and rushing to the other corner of the stage.

-He was followed by Gavroche, who hugged him from behind and then they both fell asleep next to each other :((

- Gavroche fucking died (i knew he did still heartbreaking) and was caught by Enj, who handed him to Grantaire

- During the Gavroche solo, Grantaire stood center stage looking to the crowd, not even flinching when the gun sounded, only turning around when Gavroche was already at the top of the barricade

- He tried shaking him awake :(( then set him down and stared at him :((

- That was until Marius fell, Enjolras rushing to check on him, making Grantaire rush to his side

- R grabbed onto Enj and they both held the back of each other’s necks,, from my angle it looked like their foreheads touched but idk if they would do that but MANNN

-Enjolras fucking died first (no wtf :(( )

- Grantaire fucking died last (BRO.)

- Everyone fucking died bro

- Except Marius and JVJ of course

- Mr Thenardier, instead of singing “This one’s a queer but what can you do”, sang “This one’s a queer, I’ll try it to!” and dipped a guy in the wedding 😭

- The “to love another person is to see the face of god” line always makes me emotional just :((

that’s it haha hopefully y’all enjoy the ramblings, ty for reading this far, i seriously recommend going to watch it if you can it’s truly the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen man 😭 may be biased but i’m serious

LES MIS RANTS #12 (THE STAGED CONCERT 2019 EDITION)

-Dog Eats Dog is the least relevant song in the entire musical. Maybe because they want to give Monsieur Thenardier a solo part while stealing in the sewers. Good thing they cut that part in the 2012 movie. (I'll also give rants to that production in the future).

HEY @to23623ken!!!

Helena Bonham Carter in Conversations with Other Women

I have watched this movie like 3 times in the last 48 hours. ✨️🤌

[hotpinkboots]

WHERE ARE MY HELENA BONHAM CARTER CHARACTER REQUESTS HELLO??? GIRL KISSERS PLEASE RISE

[for-the-love-of-javert]

Oh Javert I do love you but it by the sounds of you could do with a good manicure, and a massage and a nice hot, home cooked meal and a couple of glasses of wine and a bit of…………….. Ahem, never mind!

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Thinking out loud again 😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣

[thekimspoblog]

Even if they never reprise their roles in Breaking Bad, I'm sure Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn will play opposite eachother in something again sooner or later, considering they seem to be besties IRL. I just hope it's some vaguely Thenardiers-esque married duo, because I mean give the people what they want.

eponine would have loved mr bingley from pride and prejudice

[musical-failgirl-fight]

Round 1 Poll 10

Who is the most failgirl?

For Eponine:

She is one of Thee Miserables. The 2012 movie softens a lot of her rough edges, and the fandom often portrays her as Cool….but in the original musical she’s a weird wonky awkward abrasive little criminal. She’s latched all her desperate hopes for the future on the Idealized Fantasy Image she’s created in her head of Marius Pontmercy— who is not *actually* an idealized fantasy prince who will rescue her from poverty, but an awkward young dork. Imagine being so lonely that you sacrifice your life out of unrequited love for *Marius Pontmercy* of all people. Really pathetic. So sad

For Lovett:

You’re telling me she’s not the utmost girlfail? Lying to her crush about his wife being dead to date him, THEN getting killed by him in a big oven. She is so silly she is so stupid she’s done nothing wrong ever.

scrubbit and bleacher = discount thenardiers??

[belladonna-nights]

I am the way I am mostly because of Helena Bonham Carter.

LES MIS RANTS #3 (THE STAGED CONCERT 2019 EDITION)

Katy Secombe is the loudest and most noisy Mrs. Thenardier in my opinion, and I find it funny. Love her chemistry with Matt Lucas, most hilarious Thenardier tandem ever. 🤣

[writeyourletters-inthesand]

saw the les mis tour and?? they literally .

[starsfromtoulon]

they really did say, "oh, yeah, Javert HATES books but he also spends any free time he has reading. also, this makes him sound full of himself."
