send me a ship and I’ll write about when someone said “I love you”

for the first time

for the last time

in anger

in lust

on accident

when they thought the other couldn’t hear

because they had to

before they were ready

too late

and were misunderstood

drunkenly

sleepily

Fredric March as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables (1935)

just-french-me-up

Little reincarnation things:

Enjolras has a fear of heights, especially when he’s standing by windows. He doesn’t know why, but it freaks him out

Combeferre tried to get into lifting weights, cause he reads in a medical journal that you should mix cardio and lifting to be in good shape. But everytime he lifts something too heavy, he feels three painful points in his chest

The first time Enjolras and Grantaire held hands during a rally, Grantaire had goosebumps and got nauseous, and he still can’t explain it

Jehan isn’t scared of the dark, but can’t deal with blindfolds. They just can’t. It rouses the worst sensation in their body, like a visceral reaction

Every Ami has birthmarks on their chests. Combeferre has three. Courfeyrac has two. Enjolras has eight

They get a strange feeling whenever they walk past what used to be the Musain. They can’t quite place the emotion. Melancholia. Home sickness

Every 5th of June, it feels like they’re forgetting something. It’s there, at the tip of their tongues, something was planned but they just can’t figure out what it was

wow that one second of reprieve you get in the les mis finale between “to love another person is to see the face of god” and “do you hear the people sing” thanks i needed that one whole second to regain some composure before my heart truly did break into a thousand tiny pieces

long awkward silence every time Valjean goes to prison

No, no, no, no, no. The real silence drops when Javert goes to prison. And the others all just look at him. And Javert just looks so totally defeated.

Marius: “You have a get out of jail free card.”

Javert: “No, I will serve my time, it was wrong of me to roll so many doubles. Those who falter and those who fall must pay the price.”

I love how in every les mis thing has a different main character

In the 2012 movie it’s Jean Valjean

In the anime it’s Cosette

And in the brick is the Parisian Sewers

from this post. ask and ye shall receive @alluringwaters!

I mean, isn’t this pretty much word-for-word what happens, though? and can we please make it fanon that enjolras rips the tie out of his hair and lets his glorious mane free when he’s ready to throw down???

joly: do you think it’s some sort of subconscious intimidation tactic? bossuet: what, like a cat? making himself look bigger? grantaire: oh my god. oh my god. IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

holy shit, I love you!

Grantaire in the showing at Queen’s Theatre

After obsessing over the way Grantaire was played by Hugo Chiarella, which was far different than any other portrayal according to my mom who has seen the show many times before, I’ve come to the conclusion that, whether intentionally or not, every scene that Grantaire was in stripped away another mask he had put up to protect himself.

In “Red and Black,” Grantaire is in full messing around mode. He throws a map at Comferre during the song, makes a lude gesture, and is overall acting like his only purpose is to be a nuisance.

Then, when Enjolras starts his talk about rallying cries, all of the other Amis gather around him except for Grantaire, who sits at a table with his bottle. But, he no longer has his immature grin; that has been wiped of and replaced with a blank and slightly doubtful expression.

During “Do You Hear the People Sing,” his grin returns slightly as Enjolras catches sight of him at their rally and he spreads his arms in a gesture that says ‘well, I’m here, weren’t expecting that were you?’ His grin once again fades, though, as Enjolras turns away after a pause.

We next see how angry Grantaire is after Eponine dies. His attempts at pretending not to care are momentarily halted as he intercepts Enjolras from reaching a crying Marius with a rough shove to the shoulder. Grantaire then wraps an arm around Marius, who he seemed to view as a little brother. He’s clearly angry and tense, not even bothering to hide the fact that he’s mad that they’re putting themselves through this. He’s also mad that the only people he cares about are going off to die for something he believes won’t work.

At the beginning of “Drink With Me,” Grantiare makes a weak attempt at fooling around, though his words about fearing death let on how heartbroken he was over watching his friends go to their deaths. When Enjolras stands in front of him to diffuse the tension Grantaire’s words had created, however, Grantaire’s facade completely crumbles as his voice cracks on the last line of his solo. He then falls into the arms of a rather shocked Enjolras who eventually returns the hug, places a hand against Grantaire’s head, and presses his cheek against Grantaire’s hair. Grantaire’s strained smile never makes a reappearance.

Throughout the rest of the play, Grantaire’s face finally shows just how hopeless he feels, unable to help his friends, to stop them. His despair only continues to grow, no longer hidden by humor, and his attempt at apathy no longer protecting him from feeling the immense loss of watching those he cares about fall. It gets to the point where Marius embraces him after the death of Gavroche, pressing his cheek against that of the man mourning the death of a boy he saw as a little brother. No matter how hard Grantaire tried to protect him, shielding him during part of the first attack and forcing him to leave with the women and fathers, only for the boy to comeback and be killed.

The final blow that breaks Grantaire, of course, is watching Enjolras fall over the side of the barricade. He calls out his name and desperately tries to climb to him, only to be killed.

Grantaire, who started off as a disruptive, immature nuisance, suffered blow after blow, shattering the walls of humor and anger and bitterness that would protect him from heartbreak until he becomes a man who is bitter because of his friends choices to go get killed, but loves them even more, so he watches them die one by one, and deals with heartbreak after heartbreak until he is broken emotionally and then physically as he too gets killed.
