Underappreciated Les Mis Moment #3

After Jean Valjean steals the bishop’s basket of silverware, he then throws the silverware in his knapsack and tosses the basket aside in the garden so the next morning when the bishop’s servant is freaking out and asks him if he’s seen the silverware basket he says “here it is” and hands her the basket. She then freaks out and says “there’s nothing in it” so the bishop basically says “oh you mean that. Yeah I have no idea where that is” and goes back to mourning over the flowers that Jean Valjean crushed during his escape.

Tom Hooper: We only have two hours, so we don’t really have time to invest into sideplots. George, I really need you to just focus on being a side character and a nuisance to the cau–

This whole BBC les mis ordeal is what happens when the fans are mostly young gays and the writer is the oldest straightest man

my sadness about les mis hits me at random times. Like one moment I’m sitting at dinner and the next I’m laying on my bathroom floor thinkin about how Grantaire could’ve escaped and lived if he wanted to but the idea of existing without Enjolras was too much for him to handle and so he had to die with him

Grantaire: I heard that the more ‘y’ somebody has in their ‘hey’, the more interested they are in you.

Grantaire: that being said, heyyyyyyyy

Enjolras: he

About

The Challenge: Comment on every fanfic you read and enjoy in the month of January.

Every chapter. Every one shot. Every drabble. Every ficlet. Whether it’s on a personal website, a blog, or an archive. Whether you’ve read it a hundred times before or you’re reading it for the first time. Whether the fic was posted years ago or minutes ago. Whether you sign your name or leave your thoughts anonymously. Whether your comment is paragraphs in length or a few short words. Comment on every fanfic you read and enjoy in the month of January.

The Philosophy: Comments are what keep a fandom thriving and growing.

We don’t see comments as a transaction. They’re not a price paid for reading a fic. Comments are simply one half of an interaction.

Fandom is a relationship between individuals—hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of individuals in some cases, but still individuals. For the greater fandom relationship to function, individuals within the fandom must interact with one another—ideally in a positive manner. One way to interact is by writing and reading fanfic. A writer prompts an interaction by posting their work; it is up to the reader to then acknowledge (or not acknowledge) the interaction in one of three ways.

If a reader reads to the end of a fanfic and enjoyed the fic, they should acknowledge the positive interaction with a comment. (As well as give the fic a like or kudo.)

If a reader reads to the end of a fanfic and didn’t particularly enjoy the fic, they should acknowledge the interaction with a like or kudo.

If a reader does not read to the end of a fic because they didn’t enjoy the fic. They should close the browser tab and seek out a different fic.

All fanfics are read voluntarily. It is up to the reader to determine their fandom experience. As our fandom forbears were fond of saying, “Don’t like, don’t read.”

when valjean finds out cosette has a half-brother on her fathers side named enjolras, he invites the boy over for dinner and is astounded to find amazing similarities between the two- their shining curls, their striking eyes (albeit different colours), their laughs, and their fervent passion for local and federal politics and social justice

valjean loves him instantly (how could he not, he’s practically a male replica of his beloved daughter), and soon enjolras and jvj are spending days at a time together, along with cosette, and they discuss everything, have lighthearted banter and debates, sing and dance and laugh their hearts out and love each other to no end.

one christmas eve valjean comes home to a bunch of college kids sitting around his kitchen. cosette and enjolras anxiously tell him that these are their friends, who had nowhere to go for christmas and no family to spend it with, and so they said they could stay here, because the house is more than big enough, and can they stay dad, please??

so valjean has his kids write down each of their friends names and something they like and takes the list to the mall and it’s almost impossible but by the end of the night he’s got a little present for everyone, and he cooks a huge christmas feast with their help (turns out marius and courfeyrac are absolute wizards in the kitchen) and they sit around and drink and eat and laugh and exhange gifts (a few of the amis picked up “host presents” for valjean when cosette and enjolras said they could stay with him) and just have the best old time

Marius plays the piano and grantaire plays the guitar and they all sing ‘have yourself a merry little Christmas’ and “mr. fauchelevent why are you crying”

valjean decides that he now has 14 kids total. he blows his nose into a hanky and tearfully says “everyone, stay as long as you want, im overjoyed that you’re all here, please, consider me your family from this holiday onwards.”

the amis start calling him “dad” as a joke to begin with, but soon enough it just feels so natural to them that he becomes everyone’s dad and he truly couldn’t be happier or love them more. he discusses politics and law with combeferre and listens to jehan read him poetry and arm wrestles with bahorel and has drinks with grantaire and buys gavroche new school shoes

when he learns that Marius and cosette are dating, as are enjolras and grantaire, he’s frustrated because he loves them all and doesn’t know which one to threaten into keeping the other safe

from then on, every holiday is spent at valjean‘s house, and it’s a big family event filled with love, laughter and joy for all involved

[eposettemyass]

Bahorel is a hunk and grantaire is a bear come on Other than that all the amis are twinks ya
