extremely low effort & prolly so inaccurate memes urhhhjjj
I like the idea that from an outsider's perspective, Enjolras often feels a little outworldly, past-of-revolution-in-his-gaze, etc., and that attracts and makes careful people all at once, making them fascinated and sometimes wary of this young man who's so beautiful, so serious, so capable, at so many things -
and then he'll do something incredibly human, like snorting at a friend's pun, or giving such an earnest compliment to Feuilly it makes them both flush, or have a door fall against his back, or bicker with a twelve year old, or mutter that his gilrfriend is France, and all his friends will just look at each other going "I love him so fucking much."
My attempt at Enjolras and Grantaire fanart. I could not get the beard the way i envisioned it but this shall suffice.
THE HUG
Enjolras and his three character traits per his introduction:
Hot (yellow)
Will not fuck you (green)
Revolution (red)
Watched Les Mis live for the first time yesterday, on Valentine's Day, and I'm happy to report that Valjean and Javert could not keep their hands off each other during bows
Some more notes:
- enjolras died alone
- grantaire (connor jones), enjolras (james d gish) and their son (gavroche (dexter pulling?)) stood side by side in the afterlife
- that new version of Drink With Me.... yeah. Yeah. During "could it be your death means nothing at all?" Enjolras stood right behind Grantaire, looking like he was about to cry, and Grantaire refused to look at him. Only after he finished the "is your life just one more lie" he finally looked at Enjolras and it was followed by a really long silence and intense eye contact. Enjolras hesitantly reached out a hand to Grantaire's shoulder, but before he could touch him, Grantaire jerked back and walked away
- valjean (milan van waardenburg) and javert (bradley jaden) hugged several times during bows and kept their arms around the other when they werent hugging
- this performance of "Stars"??? Incredible. The Javert was INCREDIBLE. Bradley Jaden ily
- "who is this man, what sort of devil is he?" but YELLED in DESPAIR
- "Bring Him Home" but it's the best version i've ever heard because valjean had an incredibly tender voice
- valjean was ughhhh /pos
- they kept calling him valjohn
- i thought fantine (katie hall) was among the women cleaning up after the barricade. It turned out later she wasn't (the woman i thought was her and fantine were on stage at the same time... oops) but i still like the thought
- thenardier (matt lucas) was amazing. Fan favourite. Also queer? "There goes a prince, there comes a jew... that one's a queer, and i tried it too" "what" "well-"
- marius' (jac yarrow) outfit was pale blue, pink and white. Yay trans colours! But more importantly, a pale french flag. Which is a really cool design choice. Cool stuff
- enjolras' outfits 🤤 enjolras 🤤
- after eponine's (aviva tulley) death, les amis had a short song where they devoted the barricade to her
- i need javert's entire wardrobe. Right. Now.
I have seen a lot of Enjolras and Grantaire pairings over the years, but none have ever seemed more like boyfriends than James D. Gish and Connor Jones on the Les Misérables Arena Spectacular tour, and I need to talk about it.
James' Enjolras is so confident and is so committed to the revolution, but he is also very human and very soft with Grantaire and Gavroche. Througout the show they are seen together like a little family unit, and you can see that Enjolras cares for them both. He's conflicted throughout the show, and is very protective over them both.
Connor's Grantaire (and I say this every time I see him) is another level - he is so brick accurate and he portrays Grantaire with so much care. He's the usual drunken R, but he is so gentle and he feels things so deeply. He's anxious, and emotive and cynical, but he wears a mask and pretends to be okay. He's so aware of everything going on and he cares about his friends. And he cares about Gavroche; he's like the little brother that he never had. And he is so enamoured with Enjolras - he doesn't take his eyes off him for more than 2 minutes the whole time they're on stage. Connor Jones Grantaire will always be my favourite.
During Look Down, James' Enjolras is so confident. You can see how much the cause matters to him, and you really believe in him. And he's so human in Red & Black - he's clearly a little bit nervous, but when he looks to Grantaire and sees that he is smiling at him, he gets a boost of confidence. It's really sweet, and I've never seen that before. When he sings "don't let the wine go to your brains", he's poking fun at Grantaire and offers him a cheeky smile, which makes Grantaire laugh too.
Connor's Grantaire holds his wine bottle up to the roof in reply, laughing, and is reprimanded by another student. He, playfully, stands to attention and listens to Enjolras again following that. He goes towards Enjolras once he finishes singing, but immediately stops when Marius walks in and takes to teasing him. Enjolras speaks to the other students and intervenes before they can tell Grantaire off and tells them he will sort it. But he can't help himself but laugh at him when he's teasing Marius. He pulls himself together and continues with the song, keeping his eyes on Grantaire to make sure he's listening and he looks so proud of himself when he realises he's getting through to him.
Until Grantaire and Marius start up again, and then he looks so defeated but, again, can't help but smile. He's rolling his eyes but he's laughing because he just can't help it when he's watching Grantaire. It was so sweet.
It really was as if he was torn between upsetting Grantaire, and upsetting the rest of the Amis. And it worked really well. He was so relieved at the end of the song when Grantaire stopped joking around. He verbally said "YES" when Grantaire said "give me brandy on my breath and I'll breathe them all to death".
THESE TWO. They are such boyfriends.
Grantaire looks so concerned when Gavroche tells the Amis that Lamarque has died, and he runs straight over to him to make sure he's safe as the students prepare. He takes such a big drink of his wine and forces a smile onto his face for Enjolras. Enjolras constantly looks at Grantaire during the song, and Grantaire is doing the same but with so much love and pride in his eyes. James' Enjolras is so confident in what he believes in, but he is so soft with Grantaire and I really love that choice. While Grantaire stands with Gavroche, Enjolras is constantly seen walking over to them both and they really do seem like a little family.
As Grantaire sings "let's give them a screwing they'll never forget", Enjolras looked at him with so much pride and smiled so wide once the words processed in his mind.
After Èponine died, Enjolras was looking behind himself like a lost puppy and Grantaire stumbled forward and offered him his hand with so much desperation to try and help the man he loves. But Enjolras pulled away from the hold when Valjean clambered onto the barricade, leaving Grantaire holding his arm out. Gavroche gave him a little nudge but R looked so broken and upset. He literally growled the "a volunteer like you" line through gritted teeth.
After Enjolras shoots down his "so the war is won" line, he shakes his head and rolls his eyes as he walks to the back of the stage. It's at this point that you can see that Grantaire is really understanding that they're all going to die. He drinks some more and sits with Gavroche as Valjean and Javert have their confrontation.
At the start of Drink With Me, Grantaire stumbles (again) to the front of the stage, looking around at his friends and taking in what they're saying. He holds his arms up and then a few of the Amis stand up and storm towards him as he sings his part (with such a broken voice). But before they can get to him, Enjolras pulls them back and pushes them away from Grantaire, and they both look at each other on the "will the world remember you when you fall?" line, with Enjolras placing a comforting hand on Grantaire's shoulder.
But Grantaire pushes him away in his hurt and frustration, and Enjolras looks so concerned and upset. He looks around at the other students to see whether they're all watching too before just staring at R with so much sadness. He tries again to comfort him, putting both of his hands on his shoulders and leading him away as Gavroche runs up to them and throws his arms around him.
AND THE LOOK ON ENJOLRAS' FACE. OH MY GOD. IT SAID SO MUCH.
He wanted so much to be the one to hug Grantaire, you could tell. He was trying so hard not to cry, and it was gut-wrenching. He looked so sad, and so broken, and let out such an exasperated breath (he looked like he was going to have a panic attack, I'm not exaggerating) before forcing a smile onto his face for the other students.
The death scene is staged a little differently in the Arena Spectacular, but Grantaire still holds Gavroche and he still looks around for Enjolras and Enjolras gives him a small nod before they're both killed (do you permit it? vibes).
During Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, Enjolras, Grantaire and Gavroche stand together at the top of the stage like the little family that they are, and are together at the end for the finale too.
In conclusion, I love them, your honour. James D. Gish and Connor Jones will go down in history for their ExR. I hope we get an official recording with this cast, or I hope they do a stint in London in the future.
They ARE Enjoltaire.
at the les mis arena tour performance i saw, i loved how gavroche is very friendly with grantaire, like, he hugs him when eponine dies and its very clear theyre like, best friends, and then grantaire carries him when they die and im so there for that friendship
okay I was a skeptic but y'all were right. seeing Bradley Jaden as Javert did indeed change my brain chemistry
i saw him too, and his vocals are just so good??? its basically illegal!!!!!!!
we all know that valjean carries marius through the sewers, Milan van waardenburg (valjean) carried jac yarrow (marius) full on over his shoulder, not just support, he was fully dead weight, it looked amazing, then he set him down, and then when valjean goes to carry marius away again, marius simply like... jumped into valjean's arms and got carried away bridal style??????? I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING, BUT ITS SUCH A SERIOUS MOMENT, BUT HE JUST HOPPED INTO VALJEAN'S ARMS
Milan van waardenburg as valjean was honestly so great, his voice is incredible
mr Thenadier, at the end, at one point said something about someone being queer, and then stated "ive tried it before, you know, i think i might be bi curious" (or something very close, for sure stating he has tried it before, and being bi curious), and thats so slay of matt Lucas honestly
