The Mates of the ABC pt. 2
A follow-up to this monstrosity
Marius
Despite, well, being friends with Joly, he CONSTANTLY gets sunburned
Loves Courfeyrac, hates the Giant Drop
LOVES Australian summer. Like, of course for all the cool shit he can do with his friends, but also the heat? It just doesn’t really bother him too much, and he actually kind of enjoys high-30 degree weather. (wtf marius?)
Unironically wears the cork hats
THEY’RE PRACTICAL, OKAY??
Marius and koalas, come on.
Absolutely loves how multicultural his nation is and how many opportunities he’s afforded to speak to people in other languages
Cosette
Just really liked The Saddle Club, okay?
Day shopping trips with Courf and Baz to Pac Fair or Robina
....but buys 90% her clothes at Forever New anyway
Girl’s Nights to the cas with Chetta and Ponine
Goes to Tropfest every single year, without fail
Knowing what it’s like growing up in a rough situation, her a Valjean often volunteer for or donate to The Smith Family and she absolutely loves it.
Musichetta
Lives in West End. Loves West End. Is West End.
(Jehan and Grantaire also live there. sorry, I don’t make the rules)
Lefty’s.
Grew up on a droving station out in the territory
That means she can do a lot of cool shit that quite frankly makes her a little scary
But her best (favourite) skill is her ability to hold her seat in a saddle. Not just domesticated horses, but brumbies and bulls too. Because pro rodeo!chetta
Speaking of brumbies, she will tell anyone who will listen where the government can shove their cull orders
If you get lost in the outback, Musichetta’s the person you want with you
(Except that one time she took everyone out to Barrow Creek and then told everyone that where the Wolf Creek murders actually happened and Marius may have cried)
Eponine
Her parents practically invented the term ‘dole bludgers’
...and probably ‘bogan’ too.
Eponine. Grantaire. Record Fair.
Goes to every single one of Gavroche’s sports carnivals (despite the chanting)
I’d like to think she also lived with Jehan and Grantaire in West End at some point
City Beach
Worked at K-mart at one point
Lol, you think The Saddle Club was bad???
The rough parts of the city can be just as tough as the Outback, and Eponine definitely grew up in a ‘rough part’
Anyone who thinks she can’t hold her own because she’s from the city is an idiot
Gavroche
Toasted TV every Saturday morning, because you’re never too old for Toasted TV
Even though Grantaire insists that Cheez TV was “way better when I was a kid” but he probably had to watch Sailor Moon or something
...But with R’s help is single-handedly bringing back retro primary school things. Like Bayblades. And Tamagotchis. And Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Big fan of Steve Irwin and “of course I can wrestle that croc ‘Ponine, it’s only like half a meter long”
No but seriously if there is a tree snake or a carpet python on school grounds he WILL try to ‘relocate’ it
Zooper Doopers.
Handball every lunchtime. You can fight me on this.
Gavroche can’t say he likes school, but he can’t deny how much the other kids don’t actually suck. And when shit is going down with his family, there always seems to be someone who ‘suddenly’ wants to have a sleepover.
Montparnasse
Biggest WRX hoon, oh my god
“u wot m8″
What is the ‘day shopping trip to the coast’ bullshit business? Parnase goes to Melbourne to shop. (”shop”)
He usually sticks around Chapel st and other ‘boutique’ districts, but he’s not above Chadstone
Probably a total whore for Masterchef and MKR and shit like that (god that’s worse than the renovation shows...)
Honestly can’t stand how some people from other parts of the world have this stereotypical view of Australia as just some big desert when he KNOWS how modern and elegant and beautiful the cities are
