Les mis memes

"The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

i think this is absolutely correct and good writing advice but also victor hugo would like to have a word with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1832

victor hugo would like to have many words with you about the parisian sewer system circa 1831

marius is so “oh no! anyway” about eponine confessing her love and then immediately dying that 1862 girlies could have started using “and by the way, monsieur marius, i believe that i was a little bit in love with you” as a preface to announce major geopolitical events

*checks urban legend notes* Victor Hugo was closer to God than any of us?

[gayweeddaddy69]

idk man I've read Les Miserables, I think it's fair to say that his empathy and compassion for the sex worker is not merely transactional. I don't think there's a contradiction there, and I don't think the prostitutes of Paris were mourning just for their best client. I think he saw worthy and valuable people everywhere, and people felt that.

also yeah dude fucked like a rat on bath salts

[lhavdil]

one thing about me is that i always assume that everyone knows the plot of les mis even though theoretically that's probably not true....

sorry for the spam this is the shiniest new meme we’ve had in a while

[dickneto2-deactivated20210815]

[ image ID: the “I wish all a very pleasant” Bugs Bunny meme edited to say “I wish all LGBT+ folk who live in countries where pride is banned, illegal, or unwelcome, a very I love you, stay safe, happy pride.” Followed by a row of rainbow hearts. End ID ]

I never go on twitter (because, you know, it’s twitter) but I just had a look at it to check up on Hank and I’m glad to see he’s being *extremely* Hank about this

the majority of the blorbos being tagged on that anarchist dom post are eddie munson from stranger things, followed by professional hockey players, and like 3 real motherfuckers put characters from les mis and i appreciate that

Les Mis fanfiction is conceptually hilarious because we all collectively looked at this book, which is famously one of the longest ever written, and thought, "You know what this book needs? More words."

[secretmellowblog]

One aspect of Les Mis that gets forgotten a lot is how much Hugo stresses that Bishop Myriel is #Not Like Other Bishops--- that his charitable anti-authority behavior is a form of rebellion against the oppressive way the Church usually works and the cruel greedy authoritarian behavior it usually rewards. And since the dracula-daily-ish @lesmisletters is in its swing I should probably write an overlong Les Mis analysis post on that, but for now have this moodboard that came into my head and wouldn't leave until I photoshoppped it into reality
