#obsessed with this courf!!

[autumnalmess]

Forget star signs, everyone should have a sun, a moon and a rising Ami of the ABC

[pyromaniacbibliophile]

bricktober day 21- Triumvirate

@lesmis-prompts

I know little about them, be warned

-----

They met in high school.

Enjolras, determined to change the world through Any Means Necessary. Combeferre, with an eidetic memory, a very clear moral compass and an fervent obsession with the French revolution. Courfeyrac, the definition of Chaotic Neutral, with an utter disdain for royalty and perhaps a tad too much adoration of fire.

Honestly, they were always going to change the world

After high school it was college. There they obtained some others, mostly due to Courf being friends with absolutely everyone. Les Amis was formed then. Enjolras would have been happy to stick with the three of them but found he enjoyed it more than he had thought. Of course, they said there was no leaders, but everyone knew who ruled the society.

After that they found themselves at uni. Enjolras was Poli-sci, Ferre Law, and Courfeyrac was Human Biology. To be honest, though none of them realised it, everyone was mildly terrified of them.

They stuck together. Always. Roommates, best friends, studied together, the whole package. They were one of those rare trios which didn't have a duo. They commiserated in love, Ferre for Eponine, Courf for Jehan, and once he had realised that yes, he did love him, Enjolras for Grantaire.

After so long they worked together as if they could read each other's mind. In fights they were seamless, one unit. In debate they were insane when they worked together but when they argued against each other it could well go on for hours, each anticipating the other's point.

They gained the name Triumvirate. To be fair, it fitted them. To see one apart from the others was almost jarring. Maybe they were a tad codependent, but it worked. They worked.

Enjolras and Combeferre and Courfeyrac. Three boys who had no family but each other, three boys who went by their surnames. Three boys who had seen each others' worst, best, lowest, highest.

The Triumvirate

[cloudatmontblanc]

Assigning Les amis Polish literature I think they would enjoy!!

Enjolras: Undivine Comedy — Zygmunt Krasiński

It's literally set in the French Revolution and it's theme is basically the fight against aristocracy and democracy. It's exactly his kind of thing come on he would adore it and quote it all the time

Combeferre: Master Thaddeus — Adam Mickiewicz

not sure how to explain it, I just feel like he would enjoy it. It's Poland's national epic and he probably learnt the invocation off by heart and cried at the ending. also got recommended it by feuilly

Courfeyrac: Quo Vadis — Henryk Sienkiewicz

It's about the rise of Christianity in Rome and I feel like Courf would DEFINITELY enjoy talking about the Roman Empire in general (also makes fun of nero reading it)

Feuilly: The Peasants — Władysław Reymont

Polish village vibe. EXACTLY HIS KIND OF THING!!!! he is 101% a village boy and I do not care what anyone else has to say. I can also imagine him bawling his eyes out reading it too and rightly so

Grantaire: Dziady — Adam Mickiewicz

Slavic Halloween, Grantaire would absolutely love it and his favourite part is definitely part III, ghosts and blaming God for you country being partitioned is badass

Joly: The Wedding — Stanisław Wyspiański

It's a bit creepy... “ghosts of personae from Polish history and culture, representing the guilty consciences of the living.” oh and the guests at the wedding get hypnotised by a straw-wrap. honestly joly would find it fascinating

Jehan: The Doll — Bolesław Prus

Femme fatale coquette, merchants, floating metals, dilf as a main character, old man yaoi HE WOULD ADORE THIS BOOK (I also recommend it a lot, it's so good, read it)

Bahorel: The Deluge (or the Trilogy in general) — Henryk Sienkiewicz

A whole lot of winged hussar badassery. Duels constantly, Bahorel would love it all. deffo would become obsessed with winged hussars

Lesgle: Vengeance — Aleksander Fredro

This book is genuinely hilarious and he would actually love reading it, that's all I have to say

BONUS!!!

Marius: Ashes — Stefan Żeromski

it's set in the napoleonic wars, that's all I need to say for this one.

[revoltpark]

just some rambling

revolt park😋😋

So when I started the au i was OBSESSED with Les mis. Like hyper fixated on it and everything, and the other thing I was hyper fixated on was South Park, especially the foreign kids. So i made a little au that was Les mis and mainly Gregory and Christophe based. Gregory being enjolras and Christophe being grantaire. It started off as that but I kinda wanted to add the others like pip and Damien and Herbert and Estella and etc. so I made pip and Herbert combeferre and courfeyrac. Well I did some switching up, making mark combeferre after I saw a little headcanon post abt Gregory and mark on Pinterest and made Herbert courf. I didn’t know what they were specifically revolting against since I didn’t make them be in France, plus I didn’t know what to really do with Damien and pip. So I’m the show since Damien is canonically the prince of darkness, why don’t I make a monarchy for them to be against? Therefore the royals. I named the king Lucifer since it was close enough to Satan, Damien’s canonical dad. And for pip, since I was reading great expectations at the time, just made him some poor boy. I didn’t at first add Kenny but i made a couple of small stories with him in it so therefore he would be somewhat important for the plot. Then I added Estella and Rebecca and realized I really didn’t know what to do with the two, since I get writers block when it gets to the two, so for another plot point, I just killed them off. They were supposed to originally be in a friend group with Wendy and Bebe aswell. At first Estella was gonna be Gregory’s adopted sister and Herbert was gonna be their cousin, but I just scrapped all that extra stuff and made the three siblings. There was gonna be a subtle pipbert thing but I scrapped it aswell because I really liked marbert and dip. I also had a horrible time figuring out what the hell gregory was like. I didn’t want him to be stuck up but I wanted to keep him like the South Park Gregory but also a little like enjolras, plus I didn’t know how that’s as gonna work off because with how I had Gregory before gregstophe was going to be REALLY toxic. And I love gregstophe, so we can’t have that happening, though I do love angst. But anyways, I’ll probably do a little info dump on the living situations and the facts about them, I’ve been working on this au for id say about a year, barely. But I put a lot of time into because why not. 

[thatisntverycombefair]

kinda obsessed with courf calling ferre ma boussole (my compass)

[euphraisette]

How the cast of Les Misérables would react to the musical if they were different people who didn’t experience the plot of Les Misérables

Valjean: Thinks it’s a deep and profound work of art but doesn’t learn anything from it he didn’t already know

Javert: Hates musical theater, doesn’t even see it

Cosette: Memorizes the entire soundtrack, takes Marius to see it on their first date

Marius: Has never seen a musical before, immediately becomes obsessed

Èponine: Sneaks into the theater with Gavroche, cries during most of it, has a crush on the girl playing Èponine

Gavroche: Had to use the bathroom and missed Gavroche’s death scene, sings Little People everywhere he goes afterwards

Enjolras: Likes it fine but prefers the book, thinks the show’s too liberal

Grantaire: Has seen the show eight times, can barely remember the plot

Combeferre: Likes it but is normal about it, eventually reads the book and is also normal about it

Courfeyrac: Played Grantaire in a high school production, wants to play Enjolras or Thènardier on Broadway someday

Bossuet: Has memorized the show but has never managed to get tickets

Joly: Was double cast with Courfeyrac as Grantaire but broke his foot and had to play the character with a knee scooter

Bahorel: Skimmed the book in high school and hated it because it was boring, but his go-to karaoke song is Master of the House

Prouvaire: Runs a Brickblr blog, has uploaded slime tutorials of the show, thinks it’s the greatest musical of all time until Hadestown comes out

Thènardier: Has never seen the show, is a scalper

Gillenormand: Not only retweeted the Jubilee plate but also bought it

COURF PLAYING THENARDIER OHHHHHH MY GOD MY HEART

(also poor joly :( and ofc gillenormand would)

[betterto-die-thanto-crawl]

At that, Enjolras beamed, as if he couldn't make the joy obvious enough. But talking about Courf made him laugh. "Wouldn't the others be jealous? Of him, I mean, if he was yours?" Enjolras was blushing, thinking obsessively about the wine, before nodding at what Grantaire said. He raised a finger. "Actually I'd like a shirley temple or aomething like that. A kid's drink. Something fancy, but like he said, alcohol free." He turned to R with a smile and nodded. "That's it!"

"You look handsome." from enj

@betterto-die-thanto-crawl

"Maybe, but you owe me something for making me wear a suit, Apollo." Grantaire said, fiddled with the buttons of the shirt, finished buttoning it.

"I don't get it, why does a dinner date call for a full suit? It's not like you're proposing. Wait... is that what you're doing?" He asked, head tilted slightly as he tried to fix his own tie.

"If you're proposing, don't tell me, because I really want that to be a surprise." Like it wouldn't be regardless.

[plushieinsurgents]

Now I know what the barricade was missing!

A kotatsu!

[williamvapespeare]

not that anyone cares, but i just need to put out there that i have PERFECTED the three characters that make you up meme. i am as follows: chris traeger from parks and rec, the girl from mean girls who has a lot of feelings and doesn’t even go here, baldrick from blackadder.

thank you for your time.

[courfsuggestions]

Do you have a favorite musical (other than um, les mis)?

I really like Hairspray and Grease and musicals with big numbers and a feel-good kinda vibe

[autumnalmess]

Okay, my findings:

Before doing the poll, I absolutely knew that the most common answer would be Grantaire. I thought the second highest would be Courfeyrac, followed by Combeferre or Jehan. And I thought the lowest would be Bahorel, and Bossuet, with Enjolras a bit higher. I thought jehan would be about 10%.

First of all, if you picked Grantaire, I love you and I really hope you're okay. And in your defense, he sort of represents all of us (in the face of all of these brilliant, proactive, slightly intimidating characters with their unwavering belief, it becomes quite easy to doubt, and the thought of taking the difficult road makes you feel physically ill, so maybe it's better to just enjoy life as is than mess around with it). Or maybe I'm just saying that because I'm partly a grantaire. But ultimately, you rock and you're super funny. Grantaires are one of my favourite kinds of people.

I really should have expected combeferre to be higher because we've clearly all got autism, haven't we (semi-joke). In all seriousness, I didn't expect him to be as high up because he seemed like a bit of a niche at the time I was making my predictions, so that was a bit stupid of me. Mad respect to you guys. One of the things I think is so nice about the Amis is that they're such universal personalities that everyone relates a little bit to at least one of them, and most people are combinations of multiple. It was so lovely reading people's insight into their combinations, and I particularly noticed that a lot of people who said Joly, also said combeferre and vice versa so that's an interesting parallel to draw.

COURFEYRACS RISE UP!! WHERE ARE YOU ALL??? Okay, as is possibly obvious, I'm a courf (mixed with Combeferre and a touch of Grantaire), but where the fuck are my like-minded people. Am I supposed to hold up the lunacy of the conversation all by myself??? Am I supposed to be a warm presence all alone???? It's okay, I forgive you and I give everyone who said courf a little kiss on both cheeks.

Enjolrases you're so sexy and I'm obsessed with you and also sort of terrified of you. I think I expected there to be fewer of you because in my terror and slight cynicism, I went 'surely no one is really as cool as that'. It's embarrassing how much I like you people

I expected pretty much that exact figure of Jehans. They're awesome, incredible, wonderful, but still a bit of a niche. It's fair enough; too many poets in a room makes for terrifying company. Maybe it's the Courfeyrac in me, but I'm completely obsessed with you and in love with you. My girlfriend is a jehan, so I hope you all know that you're wonderful and I give you a little kiss on your forehead.

I expected a few more feuillys but only because I've seen a lot of feuilly girlies around the place (the place being Tumblr). Still a bit of a niche, but you really can't go wrong with feuilly. Solid dude. That makes you a solid dude.

For Bossuet and Bahorel (not to lump them into the same category or anything), yeah I absolutely expected this. Not because they're any worse of characters or personalities, just because in order to be Bossuet or Bahorel you have to be a certain kind of lunatic, and radiate complete chaotic energy. So, to those about 2 percents, I am incredibly impressed and also hope you're, like, stable, which you're possibly not xx

Jolllly. Expected fewer honestly. I actually had no reasoning for this other than because I said so, so fair enough. I absolutely love Joly, he was my favourite Ami the first time I read it and gave me so much utter joy. Because yes he is a little bit unhinged, but isn't he lovely about it? All the best people are. Jolys you are wonderful.

I put Marius into the poll partly for shits and giggles but also because I knew there would be little golden retriever mariuses who would be sad if I didn't include him. And the thought of your little sad faces made me change my mind completely and include you. I have no data for this one, I just think you're neat. And in true Courfeyrac form, I would invite you into my house.

For scientific purposes, which ami do you relate to most? I have a hunch of what the most+least common answers will be and I need to see if I'm correct. This is for science

[akallabeth-joie]

Feelings about canon-characterizations and friend/shipping Les Amis. Some what-Enjolras-admires-about-his-friends content taken from 4.1.6 (Hapgood translation), but mostly just uncited gut-feelings.

Enjolras + Combeferre: Very important to each other’s character growth and also, like, hella symbolic about the different ways to Do Revolution; have important conversations during stressful barricade events, which reveal lots of mutual trust and support. I have also been persuaded by folks writing very nice meta and fic about this ship, so I can see it working.

Enjolras + Courfeyrac: The leader of the cause and the center of the friend-group (/original draft leader of the group IIRC). Main canon interaction is disputing Rousseau’s child-abandonment (Team Courf is right on that one). Both tell off Grantaire’s barricade antics, showing that they’re largely on the same page and what they’re doing and how, but at other times seem to go about things in completely the opposite way--such as Enjolras being a silent angel of death during the fighting while Courfeyrac’s throwing off one-liners with Bossuet. Though Enjolras does like Courfeyrac’s enthusiasm. Might work.

Enjolras + Feuilly: We never see them interact, but Enjolras trusts Feuilly with the barricade’s architecture and the sharpshooting...and also praises/objectifies him during the ‘view from the summit of a barricade’ speech. I find it very easy to read Enjolras having a crush on Feuilly (except for the part where I also read Enjolras as ace). Also Enjolras explicitly likes that Feuilly is concerned with Places Beyond France (like Poland!).

Enjolras + Bossuet: Everyone gets along with Bossuet, who in many ways is very similar to Courfeyrac [appears frequently with Courfeyrac, gets along with people]. Bossuet, like Enjolras and Courfeyrac, tells off Grantaire for sexually harassing the waitresses, so they have that in common. Enjolras also likes his sarcasm.

Enjolras + Joly: We don’t see any interaction between them, but Joly is supposed to be ‘the gayest of them all’ and spends a lot of time with chill Bossuet, so I don’t see them not getting along. Enjolras respects Joly’s interest in science.

Enjolras + Bahorel: They want the same things, but have slightly different preferences for means/style (see, the egg poster scene). Bahorel can certainly hold his own against Enjolras’s chastisement*, so I can actually see this working. Also, Enjolras admires his smile.

Enjolras + Jehan Prouvaire: Both have high hopes for the future, appear gentle, and are courageous. It could work. Enjolras respects Jehan’s ‘melancholy’.

Enjolras + Grantaire: We’ve all read 5.1.23. Yes, Grantaire is obsessed with Enjolras, but I don’t see things working between until Grantaire commits to the cause that Enjolras represents, ie, this scene.

Enjolras + Marius: Setting aside Hugo’s huge favoritism for Marius/Cosette, this feels more like a musical-inspired ship, but it’s not as hopeless as it may appear book-wise. ‘My mother is the republic” can be Enjolras being nice to the very fish-out-of-water Marius who just got OWNED by Combeferre, and he also admires Marius’s incident with the powder keg.

Combeferre + Courfeyrac: Again, we don’t have a ton of interactions between them except for the ‘lighting the charter on fire’ incident. Could work out, but Combeferre does not correct and complete Courfeyrac’s brand of exuberance as he does Enjolras’s.

Combeferre + Feuilly: Are both p.o.’ed about not getting reinforcements. Could point to some shared modes of relating to the world. Might just work.

Combeferre + Bossuet: Not really sure they’re on the same wavelength, but Bossuet’s really easy going.

Combeferre + Joly: Both medical students. Maybe? Again, we have very little Joly activity on page.

Combeferre + Bahorel: Might have some of the ‘means versus ends’ issues of Enjolras, but they’re generally on the same page. Apparently share theatrical tastes. Not the worst option for either.

Combeferre + Jehan Prouvaire: During stressful moments at the barricade THEY PRESS HANDS. Hugo takes hand-holding very seriously, this is basically a consummated relationship. I also think it works because they’re both very focused on the future (in slightly different disciplines), while being open to the supernatural. Also Jehan likes math while Combeferre likes a bunch of math-heavy science/engineering topics, and they’re both into languages/hieroglyphics.

Combeferre + Grantaire: Both have wide knowledge-bases? I’m not seeing it, nor do we see much interaction between the two.

Combeferre + Marius: I’m pretty sure “etre libre” killed 1) Marius, and 2) any chance of this ship working out.

Courfeyrac + Feuilly: Maybe? Courfeyrac gets along with basically everyone, and again we don’t see a ton of Feuilly action on page.

Courfeyrac + Bossuet: They spend more time together in the narrative (ie, Marius’s presence) than anyone else, fail-to-attend the same school, and actually seem to be the closest thing Les Amis have to a ‘mom-friend’. Could work, though I read them more as BFFs.

Courfeyrac + Joly: Joly definitely likes Bossuet, who is quite similar to Courfeyrac in liveliness and skipping-law-school-ness, so I expect they’d get along well.

Courfeyrac + Bahorel: Very enthusiastic and prone to dramatic gestures (burning charter, tearing down poster). Might work, but more likely to encourage than restrain each other. Insurance premiums will be sky-high if they ever move in together.

Courfeyrac + Jehan Prouvaire: I want to say I could see them getting along, but I’d worry about how they’d communicate in a relationship (based on their reactions to ‘Marius being an idiot in love’). Potentially really sweet, potentially really hurtful breakup ahead.

Courfeyrac + Grantaire: They do hang out outside of meetings (and take Marius to dances!). Share some exuberance, but I’m not certain.

Courfeyrac + Marius: Courfeyrac supports Marius a ton, and a lot of their differences provide things Marius needs (encouragement, employment, friends). Also have been persuaded by many a good meta and/or fic

Feuilly + Bossuet: Maybe? Not much to go on, but against, Bossuet’s laid back and like everyone here, they’ve devoted to the same cause.  On the other hand, what little we see of Feuilly, he’s pretty intense, so maybe they’d complement each other.

Feuilly + Joly: Basically the two Amis with the least screen time, none of it together. Could work, but no reason to expect it.

Feuilly + Bahorel: Both pretty passionate about revolution, but again, we never see them interact in the book. Some residual pair-the-spares flavor from fandom.

Feuilly + Jehan Prouvaire: They both like things-beyond-France. Probably my second favorite option for Feuilly after Enjolras.

Feuilly + Grantaire: I don’t see that they have any common ground. Honestly, this feels unlikely.

Feuilly + Marius: Literally never interact, but they’re both autodidacts and actually have jobs, so I feel like they might at least get along.

Bossuet + Joly: Basically canon and also part of my OT3. They’re best friends who share everything, and I feel like this is the most sea-worthy ship of the lot.

Bossuet + Bahorel: Lots of charisma and enthusiasm going on here, and they both like not-attending law school. If Bahorel can handle puns (and he hangs out with Les Amis, so that’s highly likely), this could work.

Bossuet + Jehan Prouvaire: We actually see them hanging out at the same kinds of events outside of political meeting (ie, social events Courfeyrac drags Marius too). Good-humored and melancholy, which might work out beautifully or might cause friction. Could work, probably won’t end badly if it doesn’t.

Bossuet + Grantaire: They hang out outside of meetings (going dancing with Courfeyrac and Marius; the epic brunch), and seem to be good friends. Bossuet cheers Grantaire up, and they all like puns. One of the better options for Grantaire, IMO, but I have several people higher up the list for Bossuet.

Bossuet + Marius: The person after Courfeyrac who Marius sees the most. It’s more plausible than most, but the fact that they’re both known to couch surf could complicate things. On the other hand, I now really want to read a fic in which their combined ingenuity about being poor-but-socially-middle-class could make a charming domestic environment in the Gorbeau tenement.

Joly + Bahorel: Joly asks Bahorel’s advice, and they have one of the longer conversations we see on-page between two of the Amis. That conversation is, admittedly, about dating girls, but has that ever stopped the shipping?

Joly + Jehan Prouvaire: Gaiety and melancholy. Again, it could be a lovely opposites-complement situation.

Joly + Grantaire: As with Bossuet, Joly is certainly friendly with Grantaire.

Joly + Marius: Apparently know eachother, since Joly gossips about Marius having a girlfriend, but they never actually interact.

Bahorel + Jehan Prouvaire: Both based on capital-R-Romantics, so whether it works out or not, it would probably be a lot.

Bahorel + Grantaire: Both have a lot of physicality (Bahorel’s street-fighting, Grantaire’s fencing/dancing) and a lot of knowledge about Paris’s people/amenities. No canonical interactions, but I see some possibilities.

Bahorel + Marius: Again, not a lot of interaction between them.

Jehan Prouvaire + Grantaire: Both on the melancholy side of things, but...at the very least I think Grantaire’s casual misogyny is not going to go over well with Jehan ‘cries over the plight of women and children’ Prouvaire.

Jehan Prouvaire + Marius: Jehan reads Marius’s mood and behavior better than Courfeyrac, which isn’t nothing. They’re also both polyglots (at least for reading), and capital-R Romantics.

Grantaire + Marius: They socialize at least once, but I think their outlooks and manners are just too different.

[*Ok, let’s be honest. No one actually obeys Enjolras. Does Grantaire go home when told to? No. Does anyone get some sleep the night of June 5-6? No. Does anyone volunteer when Enjolras asks four people to save themselves? No, they wait until Combeferre and Marius make the same plea and then only volunteer other people. The closest they get to anyone listening to Enjolras is the fact that no one touches the bottles under Mabeuf’s table.]

[pumpkinspice-prouvaire]

I have some triumvirate poly headcanons for you since you asked! :)

They all have separate bedrooms, because they value that personal space, but often times end up falling asleep all smushed on the couch together anyway. 

Enjolras sleep talks. It's become a game for Courf and Combeferre to get him to sleep-debate with them, which is fun until he actually wins a debate in his sleep.

There is video evidence of this.

They have a movie night wheel, since they all have such different tastes in cinema, and will never agree on something if they have to argue about it.

They also have to have a dishwashing wheel, since Enjolras and Courfeyrac are liable to forget about shared chores (Enj because he gets swept up in work, and Courf because he's just easily distractible) and Combeferre ends up doing it all. Combeferre insists he doesn't mind, since he's a bit of a clean freak, but since they're all about an equal division of labor, Enjolras in particular had insisted upon the wheel. 

Enjolras doesn't like pet names in relationships, but Courfeyrac loves them. So, Enjolras does his best to refer to his partners with them, at least when they're in private.

Eventually, he gets so used to calling people "baby" that, distracted during a meeting, he says "Thanks baby" to Bossuet when he gives him a coffee, and is so mortified he stops using pet names for a month.

Enjolras and Courf both like being the little spoon. Whenever they do end up cuddling in one of their rooms (combeferre's usually, it's the cleanest, and has the biggest bed) they basically form a spoon train with Enjolras in the middle, and Combeferre acting as the big spoon to end all big spoons.

omg thank you so much I am obsessed with them 😭💗😭💗 luvs of my life

The three of them are the worst to share a bed with- Enjolras is a sleep talker, Courfeyrac gets into bed and starfishes, and Combeferre moves around a lot and lowkey tries to fight people. None of their friends know how they manage to get enough sleep, but they've adapted and always sleep well together, good for them <3

Combeferre and Enjolras are practically the same height (Combeferre is two inches taller than Enjolras and Enjolras gets grumpy if anyone brings it up...) and then Courfeyrac is like, seven inches shorter than both of them. Yes okay maybe they affectionately bully him but they also both think he’s v cute they just refuse to admit it also he’s the perfect height for forehead kisses so everyone wins really

Combeferre obviously has an immune system made of steel by now, but every so often he'll bring something home from the hospital and both Courfeyrac and Enjolras get sick. Combeferre always feels really bad about it so he'll make them lots of soup and wrap them in blankets and give them lots of cuddles to make up for it (they always tell him not to feel bad but he can't help it). And then if Ferre gets sick or burns out from his long shifts they always make sure he gets enough sleep and will watch as many moth documentaries as he wants and practically force him to sleep in because Ferre deserves to enjoy his time off

They love cooking together- Courfeyrac is actually their head chef, Combeferre helps, and Enjolras is there for moral support more than anything because oh god do not let him cook. They also do brunch together every sunday morning and make like, a mountain of pancakes. 

They stay up late into the night planning Les Amis meetings. They’re always like okay we’ll plan this LAST THING and then we’ll go to bed...and then four hours later they wake up in a pile on the sofa 

Enjolras reading out loud on the sofa with Combeferre’s head on his shoulder and Courfeyrac’s head in his lap <3

this is so fluffy but idc I love them thank you for the ask ❤️❤️❤️

[whourfeyrac]

Hello, you said you were bored of proofreading and wanted les mis asks, so well...I'm new in the fandom and I'm obsessed with the boys so: "What personality trait do you like best in each of the Amis?" - I hope didn't get too heavy, lol, and good sociology exam!!

omg okay so i'm also pretty new to the fandom side of les mis so i don't have personality hcs for ALL the amis yet (just my favourites) but here we go

- enjolras HATES being told he's wrong. like as soon as he's made up his mind about something no one, not even grantaire, can change it. it reallyyyy annoys everyone sometimes, but they still love him for it. he's an observer and a listener, so rather than take charge immediately, he will sit back and see what everyone else says and how they feel so he can decide what he wants to do about it next

- courferyac is just the most chaotic golden retriever mf you will ever meet. like he has so much energy that enjolras always makes him deliver messages so it tires him out. but at the same time, he can be really chill around the people that don't like big crazy hyper courf and he knows exactly how to comfort everyone

- everyone thinks grantaire is just kind of there for the sake of it, but he really would die for his friends. like he is the most loyal person you will ever meet and it doesn't even matter if he doesn't believe in your cause, he will still help you as much as he can because he sees how important it is to you (yes this is just him with eniolras but shh he's like this with everyone)

- combeferre is a big time overthinker. like if you give him any situation he'll have all the outcomes and backup plans made within five minutes. this is useful most of the time, but sometimes he needs to relax a bit and stop thinking that everything he does will kill him

- jehan is here for a good time not a long time. he takes every opportunity he gets and makes the absolute most of it. jehan lives by the fact that you never know which day is your last, so he just does anything he wants. he wants to read a book, climb a tree, bake a mf cake? thats exactly what he's going to do and he'll have the most fun doing it

okay thats me done for now, but ill probably come back and add to this at some point when im not about to pass out from a lack of sleep hagshdj

[midasinc]

Do you have any friendship headcanons for Enjolras and Jehan? They're one of my favourite dynamics that aren't explored that much.

oh yk what this IS cute and i agree, i wish it was brought up more often

canon era:

-i imagine them being family friends due to them both coming from wealthy backgrounds. jehan thinks that enjolras is family for like 90% of their life

-jehan can embroider and enjolras has to be careful around them because enjolras will be so invested in his work that he doesn't notice jehan pull out a needle and thread and two hours later, there are tons of flowers all over his sleeves

-enjolras runs a lot of his speeches by jehan bc they know poetry and how to weave it into regular speech to make wording more powerful. jehan thinks enjolras's first draft is always "deathly boring" and makes a lot of edits for him

-enjolras has dinner with jehan at least four times a week. he comes over with bread and cheese and wine and BOY does he have some mf gossip to talk to jehan about. gossip is mostly just something scandalous courfeyrac did, but jehan loves Enjolras Dinner Nights nonetheless

-they both also go to a fencing class together and jehan is absolutely ruthless. enjolras will get a practice pipe to the backs of his knees if he's not careful. it's his goal to some day defeat jehan

-they are both rich boys with no life skills. neither of them have any idea of how to fix a leaking roof or patch a ripped vest or anything of the sort. it's a wonder that they know how to pour wine into a cup

modern era:

-they're still family friends! jehan, courfeyrac, and enj all grew up together

-they're both fuckin' nerds. they're both in the dnd group (with courf, ferre, and feuilly) and jehan is the dungeon master. dnd mornings are at enjolras's apartment every sunday bc enjolras has a table that's an ideal size for all their stuff AND friends

-still obsessed with jehan's poetry in modern era being a rap. jehan and enjolras both really like rap and grew up on old school r&b and hip hop and enjolras goes to a lot of jehan's freestyle battles to watch them absolutely annihilate any other competitors

-jehan is super into nail care and does enjolras's nails for him bc enjolras does NOT take care of his hands. by the time jehan sees enj again, his cuticles are a mess and his nail polish is all chipped and jehan gets very fussy and pulls out their nail files and polish remover

-enjolras emails memes to jehan. he's kind of like a facebook mom. jehan always emails back a laughing emoji bc they aren't sure how else to respond to enj's outdated memes

-they're still rich boys with know street knowledge. they both live off of frozen meals and have no idea how to fix a broken radiator or unclog a shower drain. it once took the two of them four hours to put together an ikea table for jehan's apartment
