Les Misérables fandom, assemble!

"Fans of Les Misérables in the big 2026? Yes, we certainly still exist!"

I think a good way to explain how I feel living with the (both) diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD is:

"Imagine that you have both Enjolras and Grantaire inside your head and they are constantly fighting for dominance."

When Enjolras takes over, I get hyped about something, decide to start several new projects, activities, and hobbies; along with an indescribable desire to change the world and make a difference.

When Grantaire takes over, I just kind of want to stay in my room all day, abandon those things I started because I don't think I'll be able to accomplish them, "accept" that everything is pointless, and since "the future is death" there's no reason for me to worry about anything outside of that specific hyperfocus I have at that moment.

And I think that, since another comorbidity I live with is Anxiety Disorder, I believe Marius would also be included. "He disappears from time to time, but when he comes back and starts talking, you just want him to shut up."

The overwhelming feminine urge to list all adaptations and casts of Les Misérables, including films, series, soap operas (yes, there are soap operas) and ESPECIALLY the musicals!

Les Amis De L'ABC (ft. Marius & Gavroche) - II

And, again, I tried to make these as accurate as possible:

I'm going to take a chance with this statement here, maybe it's risky, maybe someone has said this before but:

"I think Grantaire, in modern times, would listen to Conan Gray"

Random Fact Time:

Two actors from Netflix's Stranger Things, Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) and Joseph Quinn (Eddie Munson), have both appeared in productions of Les Misérables. Gaten played Gavroche on Broadway around 2013-2014, and Joseph played Enjolras in the 2019 BBC series adaptation.

And there's more: So, there are rumors that Jamie Campbell Bower (who also appears in Stranger Things) was considered for the role of Enjolras in the 2012 film adaptation of the musical. And, just so you know, he's already appeared in Twilight Saga, Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Travel idea for couples and/or friends: We go to France, but instead of "traditional tourism", we'll visit ALL the places mentioned in Les Misérables 🇨🇵✨️

Since Bahorel is not a character we see in the musical, or at least not AS MUCH as the other Les Amis de L'ABC, I came to imagine him as looking like Emmett Forrest from Legally Blonde...

This basically started when I saw Iwan Lewis in the 2012 film; as he had played the character of Emmett a year earlier.

It's a little silly really, but I feel like my boy Bahorel deserves a little bit more attention 😆

I really think that in a Les Misérables Modern AU, the dynamic between Jean Valjean, Cosette and Marius would be very similar to the dynamic between Hopper, Mike and El in season 3 of Stranger Things...

That's it, that's the post!

Aaaaand...

For those who ship Valvert (Jean Valjean X Javert), imagine this conversation happening between them at some point in a Modern AU:

You know, to this day I find it funny that Jean Valjean's parents were called Jean Valjean (sr.) and Jeanne Mathieu; and what's more, Jean Valjean's older sister was also called Jeanne...

It's a very small detail in the story, but I find myself thinking about it every now and then 😆

Javert, man.

Or should I say:

Javert, Mann?

Terrence Mann is the best Javert

I can't really explain this...but I'm conviced that Kaitlyn Dever (The Last of Us) and Katie Douglas (The Girl Who Escaped) would've been great actresses to play the roles of Éponine and Azelma Thénardier respectively!

And, if I may add, they would be perfect alongside Olivia Colman from the BBC adaptation (2018-2019). I really liked her as Mme. Thénardier (to be honest, I liked a lot of things about that adaptation, and while it wasn't "perfect", it was a good adaptation).
