Hello and welcome! This is an independent RP blog for Grantaire from Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables. His portrayal is based mostly off the novel and the musical, with my own personal headcanons where things fit in. Down below, I’m linking a couple of things I recommend you check out. Thus far, I haven’t been able to set up a carrd for Grantaire, but it’s definitely all the way up on my to-do list!

My about page will give you an idea of what I have in mind for R.

My rules. Please, read them. I beg you.

@creaturemade, which is my RP blog for Victor Frankenstein.

@cambriolcur, where I’m currently working on rebooting my RP blog for Arsène Lupin.

hi i made a multimuse with the same url and moved grantaire over there bc i suck!!

#╳ │ ❝ I'm not crying that's just Les Mis in my eyes ❞ ( ooc )

i reread the section about combeferre and now i’m emotional because i love him so much someone hELP

#it's also bringing me right back in my combetaire shipping mood so #i'm just gonna cry #╳ │ ❝ I'm not crying that's just Les Mis in my eyes ❞ ( ooc )

sober grantaire: shutting down yahoo answers is the 21th century burning of the library of alexandria lol

drunk grantaire, when someone else makes the same joke: HOW DARE YOU DOWNPLAY ALEXANDRIA LIKE THAT

#i don't even know anymore #╳ │ ❝ ‘Be serious’ he said. Well I refuse ❞ ( shitpost )

i swear, at this point, half of the 9.2 million views on the “diner lobster” sketch from snl are mine

#╳ │ ❝ I'm not crying that's just Les Mis in my eyes ❞ ( ooc )#even worse bc les amis WOULD do something like that as a joke #kill me

sure, i could sit down and continue my reread of the brick in order to get back into the ~feels~ for grantaire

but watching "les mis as tiktoks” compilations is so much more fun

oldbookist

take my quiz

which amis are you but it's shitty

#i got grantaire and i'm feeling called out #kinda funny bc i'm not actually into anyone rn #but generally... sadly accurate #╳ │ ❝ I'm not crying that's just Les Mis in my eyes ❞ ( ooc )

my rediscovery of my les mis obsession is clearly not a good thing bc there’s a part of me that high-key wants to make a multimuse and just put a bunch of les amis there and i just shouldn’t

#mostly i shouldn't bc i'm pretty sure the rpc is as dead as the characters #aaahh #╳ │ ❝ I'm not crying that's just Les Mis in my eyes ❞ ( ooc )#to be deleted

@goodliest asked: “I cannot be here.” / “OKTA” sentence starters.

“I agree that you most certainly should not be here, indeed.”

A crooked smile appeared on Grantaire’s lips and he felt his eyebrows raise in amusement. Not that anything about he situation was particularly amusing, if he was entirely honest; but he did have a certain reputation and besides, how else was he supposed to deal with anything if not with the use of inappropriate humour? He raised his glass, almost as if toasting.

“However, I fear it might be a bit too late to leave now. I’d happily assist, though, if you so wish.”

I asked our French intern about the “Be serious.” - “I am wild” dialogue today, meaning I dug out the original French dialogue, which goes “Sois sérieux.” - “Je suis farouche” and then proceeded to ask her about the word farouche.

Turns out it means wild as in shy, like an untamed animal won’t approach you because it is wild. And that is not a word that I can see Grantaire using for himself, except perhaps in a sort of warning? As in “you wound me, careful with your accusations, I could shy away from your touch”

Or ironically, which would work just as well.

But still I don’t feel like I’ve figured this out.

#this lives in my mind rent free #part of me wants to connect it to the scene at the barricade when enj tells r to leave bc he's a disgrace to the barricade #and R immediately sobers up #the other part of me is too tired to think much about it rn #BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT #╳ │ ❝ We lovingly call it The Brick ❞ ( the book )
