Les Amis Appearance HEADCANONS: Grantaire
-idk how to describe skin tone colors someone help me but he’s not white.
-he’s got some scattered dark freckles on his face and cafe au lait spots, some acne scars, perpetual stubble.
-curly black hair that eats combs and hairbrushes for breakfast. It holds pens and paintbrushes incredibly well tho.
-crooked nose from fights
-he also has a crooked smile and a crooked front tooth. His face is built for smiling.
-hooded eyes, which perpetually look like he’s laughing. They’re dark brown but Enjolras saw flecks of green in them once and he’s been transfixed looking for them ever since.
-R’s face is super expressive, with whatever emotion he has. It makes it all the more impressive that he manages to cover his emotions so well.
-he’s not conventionally attractive by any means, but he’s not hard to look at, partly because of his expressiveness
-he does, however, have a very particular sardonic smile that turns his face into the most “punchable douchebag” expression that is only distinguished from being “that one asshole from your philosophy class who you dream of taking down off his high horse” because of the underlying air of self-deprecation. it’s like, “yeah, i secretly think your ideals and everything you believe in are useless and I should know because I too am fundamentally worthless” so you can’t hate him but you do sort of want to kick his ass if only to get him to accept a hug.
-artist’s/boxer’s hands so there are callouses all over the place and little nicks and scars
-he’s shorter than Enjolras by like 4 inches which isn’t a lot but R thinks about it all the time.
-he’s built much more solidly than Enj though; Enj does not look like he knows how to win a fistfight (though Enjolras most certainly does, if only because his parents refused to let him miss school for injuries acquired through something so pedestrian as brawling, and it wasn’t like Enj was going to shut up so he got punched) but Grantaire absolutely does
-he has this specific configuration where he sets his feet that really makes it clear he’s going to fuck shit up. it’s actually how you can tell whether he’s serious about a fight or not—if he’s just goading and messing around, he might tip back in his chair, and his posture is loose, but if he actually has a point to make, he puts his feet on the ground and squares his shoulders. (It drives Enjolras out of his goddamn mind.)(He tries to get R to do it as often as he can, the same way R tries to get Enj to get pissed off at him, just bc seeing Grantaire actually set his feet to fight in earnest is so unbearably attractive to him, for multiple reasons.)
-he’s a little pudgy as well, not too noticeable but it gathers around his belly and hips
-his voice is pretty rough but not in an unpleasant way. He has this expressiveness to it, almost a lilt, which makes him quite entertaining to listen to.
-he and Enjolras have the most interesting interplay of body language that any two people have ever had, ever. They lean toward and away from each other like magnets. If R is leaning in, Enj is leaning away; if Enj is leaning in, R is tipping back insouciantly. R has these slow, lazy hand gestures; Enj is always fiery and sweeping and fast. They tend to always be acknowledging each other in body language if they know that the other one is there; while Enj might ignore one of R’s soliliquoys, and R might not make a response to one of Enj’s sermons, if R rolls his eyes at Enj, Enj will stare at him, if Enj throws his hand out R leans in his seat, and if R shifts his foot Enj will tip his head. Neither of them are even aware they’re doing it half of the time. The Amis make bets on it occasionally, but even they aren’t paying enough attention to recognize how minute some of these shifts and responses can be.
