one thing about exr as a phenomenon is that fandom culture's inclination towards character growth and healthy relationships over what would make more sense realistically or narratively/thematically could mean that people would be really into the idea of grantaire getting over his obsession with enjolras and self-actualizing but the thing is that fandom culture's inclination towards making men kiss each other is stronger

#so they often make exr healthy. which. could in theory happen i guess. but thats really not the appeal to me #except in world aint ready<3 part of the reason i don't like when they're healthy is like. you'll never be war so why even try #txt #also i think this is one part of the reason why exr is so much more popular than eponine/marius. like just that grantaire is a man #i mean there are other reasons of course and it's not like i actively care much about eponine/marius but. yknow #the thing though is that modern aus or whatever *do* tend to have eponine get over him. which is part of why i don't like modern aus lol #like eponine has to die for unrequited love (as does grantaire) sorry #les mis #i do want this in my tag even though i don't want it in the main tag. sigh #also i had this thought in february like when i was trying to form my thoughts. idk why im only posting it now
