I’d like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don’t know. It doesn’t last, and it’s good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.

Red and Black is basically Enjolras trying to organize a group project and everybody is more interested in Marius’s love life.

from what I keep seeing on tumblr, bbc les mis is just one big yike

Okay so I know Grantaire drawing Enjolras in his sketchbook and being really protective and secretive about it because of this is a really common trope

But what about Enjolras who takes a notepad with him at all times so he can write down thoughts that come to his head or clever phrases or parts of stories or newspaper articles or statistics that he might be able to use when he’s writing essays or speeches then suddenly gets really tetchy when Combeferre asks if he can borrow it to write something in and Enjolras who nearly rips Courfeyrac’s head off when he tries to steal a bit of paper

And Enjolras who becomes frantic when he realises it isn’t in his bag and he can’t remember where he’s left it and is pacing around his kitchen trying to mentally retrace his steps when the doorbell rings and Grantaire’s there holding the notepad with a look of consternation on his face and asking “This is yours, right?” and Enjolras nods and tries to snatch it out of his hand but Grantaire just holds it out of reach and walks in and puts it onto a table and opens it to a certain page and points at it and quietly says “Please explain.”

Because the page is titled “GRANTAIRE” and is almost entirely covered in neat scribbles in what is painfully obviously Enjolras’ handwriting and Enjolras has to desperately try to think of a suitable explanation that isn’t the truth because he doesn’t know how well Grantaire would take “I wrote down everything I like about you to try and figure out these weird emotions you make me experience and I may have concluded that I’m in love with you”

me: les mis isnt about romance and i worry that the bbc adaptation will be so heavily focused on it that it will lose the overarching social commentary

also me: if enjolras and grantaire dont die holding hands im suing

“average person has 3 cover identities" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person has 0 cover identities. Jean Valjean, who lives in a shed & has over 10,000 cover identities, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
