Until the Earth is free
Finally got to the part where they die in Shoujo Cosette so… Here’s a redraw of that iconic screenshot to celebrate lmao
So I know it's a joke in the Les Mis fandom that Javert is portrayed as like the only cop in all of France, but I think it would be hilarious if modern fanfic writers took this to ridiculous extremes
Gavroche's school is doing a "say no to drugs" campaign, now imagine his surprise when Javert the DARE ambassador walks in the door.
Bossuet gets pulled over for going 4 miles over the speed limit and his explanation dies on his lips when he sees Javert the traffic cop step out of the cop car.
Some asshole tries to fight Bahorel over an airplane seat. Surprise! Javert the air marshal is here.
Marius calls emergency services because of a rabid raccoon in his backyard and Javert the animal control officer shows up to help.
Jehan parallel parks illegally and Javert the meter maid tickets them an outrageous amount.
I think this has comedic potential.
Earlier I was thinking about the aftermath of the June Rebellion and wondering what exactly would have happened if Les Amis had succeeded. I ran the thought experiment in my head - say the students killed the king, overthrew the government, what would they do next? I decided they would need to elect one of their own to rule France more democratically, fix all of the problems, etc. Do I think they would be successful? No but that's beside the point. But I couldn't decide who I wanted them to elect, hence this poll:
Who of the following should be leader of France?
Marius Pontmercy
Enjolras
Eponine Thenardier
someone else - please rb and tell me!!
Reblog for sample size pls :))
oh and I would love to hear your reasoning for why you voted one way or another if you care to explain!!
what an amazing question
ok ok ok throwing out all the history I know about it and who the actual republican leader options might have been, if it's just the Amis, there is only one real choice here: FEUILLY IT'S GOTTA BE FEUILLY
1830s Sudden New Republic France is going to have to seriously wrangle international politics to survive and Internationalism is Feuilly's whole game
plus having an actual worker at the head of the official affairs might help avert some of the disasters that occurred with the actual Next French Republic. Maybe. Possibly.
Courfeyrac is the next best bet (charming, socially adroit, probably the best option for the wheel-and-deal nature of actual politics)
Combeferre...would hate it so much. He doesn't wanna do this. But he'd certainly be Informed. About Practically Everything.
all the rest of them are on some spectrum from " wouid not accept that role for solid political/ moral/ idealogical reasons" to " would not accept that role because they'd rather have Second Breakfast" but dgksldgh it is hilarious to imagine Legle instituting the Era of Extremely Chill Governance
Courfeyrac, with Combeferre advising. Feuilly, Eponine and Gavroche can pilot the Workers, Women, and Youth Statutory Boards. Enjolras can write the speeches.
Permet-tu?
I realized I haven’t drawn this scene before, have I?
The way death is portrayed in the movie and the book is different—this version should be closer to a place where one could die standing up (?)
In the Repo, Harry-Enj is shown laughing as he dies—indeed, Enj would be more than willing to die for his ideals, right?
(Though Enj wasn’t really injured before his death, he probably would still look a bit disheveled (?))
Well, overall, it’s a smiling Enj and a more serious R, who isn’t smiling but instead staring intently at Enj!
(Supporting Enj’s fashion freedom—I love him in black, though red is also great!)
Huzzah!!
Union Square & Co. 2025 edition of Les Misérables 😍
Comberferre: If you put three Greeks in a room, you would get four political parties
Courfeyrac: Put three Frenchmen in a room, you get six
Enjolras: Put three of us in a room, apparently you get philosophy at 3 in the morning
addicted to drawing them in bed I think. I seriously promise the next drawing won't be this setting. I can't help myself

Read a queer YA romance in advance!
Fans of my audio drama The Strange Case of Starship Iris, my Les Mis fic World Ain’t Ready, or queer yearning underscored by banter in general will love You Pierce My Soul, my new far-future dystopian romance about two teen girls who must work together to defy an algorithm that pairs everyone off with their soulmate. The book comes out May 5th (and is available for preorder) but for a limited time you can enter to win a package that includes an ARC right now!
Besides the paperback You Pierce My Soul, you’ll also receive a hardcover of my last YA novel, Stars Hide Your Fires, a sci-fi mystery where a cynical thief must partner with a mysterious revolutionary to solve a murder at a ball in an opulent palace space station. Plus two pins, and three adorable book-themed bookmarks I made by hand!
RULES: To enter, reblog this post. On December 19th, I'll choose a random winner from those reblogs. (One reblog per person, please.)

I think I'll do some "would you rather" questions (as per @permetutotheworld's suggestion) next!
Would you rather crawl through the Parisian sewers or be temporarily buried alive to get out of the convent?
Would you rather?
Crawl through the sewers
Be buried alive
Propaganda for crawling through the sewers:
It's basically tourism! I speak as an American: why do my people feel the need to endure experiences they will inevitably bitch about (long plane ride, jet lag, being asked to walk places, neophobic reactions to benign unfamiliar everyday objects, the international tendency towards lukewarm beverages)? Let's list some off, and Hugo can back me up on why the Parisian sewers check the boxes.
Seeing places with centuries of history: "all that human laws persecute or have persecuted, is hidden in that hole; the maillotins in the fourteenth century, the tire-laine of the fifteenth, the Huguenots in the sixteenth, Morin’s illuminated in the seventeenth, the chauffeurs [brigands] in the eighteenth."
Visiting sites associated with historical figures: "Louis XI. is there with Tristan, François I. with Duprat, Charles IX. is there with his mother, Richelieu is there with Louis XIII., Louvois is there, Letellier is there, Hébert and Maillard are there, scratching the stones, and trying to make the traces of their actions disappear."
Experiencing the thrill of possible danger: "To try that unknown thing, to cast the plummet into that shadow, to set out on a voyage of discovery in that abyss—who would have dared? It was alarming."
The chance to find and bring home a souvenir: "If a giant had filtered this cesspool, he would have had the riches of centuries in his lair. [. . .] Bruneseau held his lantern close to this rag and examined it. It was of very fine batiste, and in one of the corners, less frayed than the rest, they made out a heraldic coronet and embroidered above these seven letters: LAVBESP"
We love a beach vacay—no chance to make it to the coast? The sewers got you: "Still another resemblance between Paris and the sea. As in the ocean, the diver may disappear there."
Concerned about venturing into shadier areas? No worries, the sewers are patrolled (ACAB): "It was the gloomy star of the police which was rising in the sewer."
Eating novel and regionally unique snack, such as: "the roll which had been forgotten there on the preceding evening"
Encountering unfamiliar geological features: "This crevice, the hiatus of a gulf of mire, was called a fontis, in the special tongue. What is a fontis? It is the quicksands of the seashore suddenly encountered under the surface of the earth; it is the beach of Mont Saint-Michel in a sewer."
Finally, as any who have read Les Misérables know, you can never predict: fate loves a coincidence, and you might meet an old friend while spelunking who will be happy to share a bit of local lore and a helping hand (or bit of rope and key, as the situation demands).
The grave is a fine and private place, but the sewers have history, thrills, souvenirs, snacks, and pals! Crawl through them today!
Propaganda for being buried alive:
Have you ever fantasized about shutting off the world, where none of the noise and bustle of the latest revolution-in-the-making could reach you?
Have you been a little less than prudent in spending your fortune, and are suddenly encountering insistent debt collectors asking for your whereabouts, carrying suspiciously heavy sticks?
Are you embroiled in an affair more complicated than the taxation system in 1789 and more blown up than the sleeves of the fashion of the day?
Are you working on a romance that just needs an accurate depiction of a mournful cemetery to clinch that end scene?
Do not wait any longer!
Speak to Fauchelevent & Frere about a bespoke funeral with all accoutrements, including a coffin carefully tailored to your height and girth, cushions of linen or damasque according to your means and preferences, verified air-holes on top and around the sides, and a grave digger to be selected from Affable Drunk or Intellectual-Down-on-his-Luck variety! All horses are trained not to jostle the carts on the way to the cemetery, though we cannot be held responsible for the state of the pavement.
Low rates, satisfaction guaranteed - nobody has returned to complain yet!
AO3 is down. guess I'm reading this. (easy reading for bed time uwu)
