What you're known for: pirates, loving Enjolras, being a lovely person <3

I love Enjolras SO MUCH??? Like I just!! He’s the best and will always be my favorite son. I have so much pirate nonsense in my house, I am ridiculous. 

And YOU are so lovely too, friend <3

Les amis as types of chips (Doritos flavors, sour cream and onion, the whole 9 yards)

I have learned that chip flavours are extremely regional so this may not make sense. But not making sense is no reason for silence so here we go: Enjolras: Salt and Vinegar. Strongest flavour of chip. A love-it-or-hate-it flavour, very polarizing, but widely popular nonetheless. Someone always brings these to a potluck. They do weird things to your mouth if you eat a lot of them. Combeferre: Original. The true neutral of chips, the chip upon which all chips are based. You can’t go wrong with them, and chips as a concept would not exist without them. Ideal chip for pairing with dips or other snacks, they are very versatile. The simple but tasty blank canvas. Jehan: Cinnamon Bun. Yes, you read that right. In theory, this shouldn’t even work. The kind of chips you’re compelled to reach for in the grocery store because you have to know what it’s like. Then you start eating them, and for some reason you don’t stop. Flavour quite hard to describe. Feuilly: Sour Cream and Onion. One of the oldest and most classic flavours, they’re widely available. If you’re buying chips for someone you don’t know particularly well, sour cream and onion is one of your best bets. Strong and well-rounded flavour. If chips were running for public office I’d vote for this one. Courfeyrac: Prawn Cocktail. Criminally, this is a chip only found in the UK. Like salt and vinegar chips but if you turned down the vinegar and put seasonings on them. A £3 meal deal lunchtime staple. The chip bag is magenta. The flavour is almost worth crossing an ocean for. Bahorel: Roulette Doritos. 3/4 of the chips are regular Doritos, and 1/4 are super spicy. Every bite is a risk upon your life. Proceed with caution. Hilarious and enjoyable if you get a regular Dorito and your friend ends up on the receiving end of the spicy Dorito’s wrath. Bossuet: Cucumber. A Chinese flavour, the chips don’t actually taste like cucumber, and the unfortunate name keeps people from trying them. Less salty and a little sweeter than most chips, they’re weirdly refreshing. It’s as if “cucumber” captures the mood of eating them rather than the flavour itself.  Joly: Pringles. The oh-so-satisfying stackable chips. They come in a variety of flavours, so they’re very hard to dislike. Their truest appeal lies in putting two in your mouth, one right-way-up and one inverted on top of it, and pretending you’re a duck. Also pretty funny when you get your hand stuck in the tube. Grantaire: Bugles. Chip status debatable, but a chaotic snack all the same. They are shaped like very small cornucopias. The only legal way to eat them is to put one on each of your fingertips and pretend you’re a dragon. Very salty.

Okay, it wasn't just me that saw the similarities between Jess and Jack in episode 11 of this is us, right? Because like no one's talking about it, and it stood out to me so much from last night's episode

do you mean people not believing in them?? not thinking they’re good enough?? or that they’re never gonna be any good?? and that everything is their fault?? when really jack is an angel and so so good and pure <333 and jess is also better than people give him credit for

Enjolras!

How I feel about this character: MY LOVE. MY SON. MY HOPEFUL AND DEFIANTLY OPTIMISTIC BOY. What a big nerd I adore him. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I tend to headcanon Enjolras as aro-ace! So I prefer that, but I have read Enjolras/Combeferre and Enjolras/Courfeyrac fic with a romantic angle that I’ve enjoyed! 

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Enjolras and Combeferre are queer platonic life partners! And also probably Courfeyrac as well. It’s three ways. 

My unpopular opinion about this character: This is maybe a point where Enjolras himself might disagree with me, but he has this thing with condemning himself, etc., and possibly not thinking there’s a place for him in the world he seeks to build, but there IS. The world will always need people like Enjolras, and he’s obviously very capable of change! 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: THAT HE WAS ALIVE. Also just that there was more inside his head like in Enjolras and his Lieutenants! I wanna know what he’s thinking.

What's the fic?!

It is an old fanfic.net one called Puzzle Pieces! R/C-centric, and also featuring Erik eventually finding someone (plus him and Christine meeting again and working through their trauma), lots of good de Chagny sibling stuff and good OCs. An awesome Meg! Poor Raoul goes THROUGH it in this, so there’s a lot of physical harm and angst and such, but it’s AMAZING.

Pretty much all of that, but also the body language/facial expressions seemed really similar to me and some points. Not to say that Milo isn't a good actor that can't separate the different characters he's played, because he totally can, and those differences are evident in some of the subtleties of his acting, but especially the scene with his father just screamed Jess to me. And the flashback looked like something that could have happened at some point with Jess, Liz, and one of her boyfriends

yeah i totally agree! and even some of the scenes with rebecca really reminded me of jess too
