If I ever knew this it completely failed to stick in my memory! I *love* that blog - your Grantaire voice is perfect

Oh boy!!! This is very exciting. Thank you~

headcanon meme: in a modern AU, Eponine (born to be a dove but changed into an osprey) would be FAR more likely than Cosette (more of a lark than a dove) to have a pastel aesthetic

I really like this one - though I can’t help but also associate Cosette with pastell colours. …For whatever reason her modern AU design tends to involve polka dots?

thoughts on Enjolras?

YOU WILL HAVE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC. I have many thoughts on Enjolras.

(I guess the main thought I have about him today is how I wish we could have seen more of his character development--that broadening of his view under Combeferre’s influence. We see a teeny bit of it, but he died before he could develop much more than acknowledging an old woman worrying about her son. I want an AU where he lives and gets to expand his views more!)

   my pet theory is that when the earth was rounded, the entire universe changed to a universe where a round earth would apply–one with the big ball of gas sun, moon made of rock, far away stars, etc   

   it also gives a delightfully terrible irony, in that finite beings get an infinite universe they can’t possibly explore, and infinite beings get a finite universe they can’t possibly leave :)    

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY MEAN IRONY WHAT

Anyway omg this is really fun! like i mentioned i’m definitely very much in the camp of ‘it’s both at the same time’ with the whole reality is a reflection and filter/wave and particle thing as ghoul and gogol described it (also omg again guys thanks SO much for finally giving me a way to phrase it! it’s been bugging me for ages.) but this is also a very cool idea about like, how the real world as we perceive it today, if it was an explicitly different world, would look from the pov of people in a Primacy of Faerie pocket universe or w/e. though you could argue that like, there’s nothing saying endless space travel ISN’T allowed for elves....i mean, if earendil gets to....

   it would explain why Sam notices in Lothlorien that the moon isn’t changing phases, bc for the moon to have phases, whatever changes the universe has to have already happened, except not for elves   

oh man i forgot about the moon phase thing in lothlorien -- though i thought the issue was more that they thought they hadn’t stayed a full month, not that the moon stayed still? but yeah exactly on the time passing differently there because lorien is like, in a time loop bringing along its own dimension of reality omg. then again I always assumed that the moon always DID have phases ever since it was created. though lol this also reminds me of how the hobbits seem to have a somewhat different idea about the Moon than the elves, both in thinking of the moon as a location and with the idea of the moon being a vessel and pulled by horses and driven by a person being framed as a goofy song (even if bilbo meant it), which seems also to play into a kind of ‘your mind makes it real’ ish thing, sort of. also reminds me of ‘and take the hidden paths that run/west of the moon, east of the sun’....like that’s very fictional-real-life...

headcanon meme: printer!Enjolras. In fact, any Ami not specifically stated to be a student is either a worker or Bahorel.

In all honesty I gave more thought to the potential jobs of Les Amis in a Modern AU than in canon era (mostly because in that case they live long enough to do said jobs for a while.)

Specifically for Enjolras - I like to think of him as an investigative journalist. He’s always *this* close to getting into trouble because he’s dealing in some pretty heavy stuff.

thoughts on Bahorel?

He may not be my favourite Ami, but he’s still a nice, bright patch of colour on their collective palette.

Also while he couldn’t make it to the musical adaptation, he very thoughtfully lent his most absurdly bright vest to Enjolras, just so he could be present in spirit. Though I’m not sure what possessed Enjolras that he actually wore it…

thoughts on Lord Vetinari?

I may not, in any way, approve of real life tyrants, but this guy is awesome. The badass lovechild of Sherlock Holmes and Macchiavelli and - hey, Ankh-Morpork is prospering under him.

But seriously, he’s just my type of character, the truest form of the Magnificent Bastard.
