Will we be seeing you on the barricade?

Of course! I've been waiting my whole life for this!

Nah.

Can't we resolve this nonviolently?

The love of my life is leaving me so might as well

I don't have anything better to do so ok

I'm in love with someone else who'll be there so I also have to be there

Yeah, because someone has to stop all these fools from dying

Yes but I'll be undercover for the cops (boo)

Sure, as long as alcohol is provided

NO ANTIPROPAGANDA PLEASE

Propaganda under the cut

Les Misérables:

Best book musical of all time.

famously good musical, famously good book

Lord of the Rings:

SIT BY THE FIRELIGHT'S GLOW. TELL US AN OLD TALE WE KNOW! TELL OF ADVENTURE STRANGE AND RARE, NEVER TO CHANGE, EVER TO SHARE! STORIES WE TELL WILL CAST THEIR SPELL, NOW AND FOR ALWAYS! I had the chance to see this performed and it was SO GOOD. The music is perfect and the whole production was filled with so much love for Tolkien's work.

Hello Les Mis fandom I hope you’re still alive - here’s a Grantaire being silly

I know we like to talk about R's perspective on him and Enj's death a lot, but I feel like we should acknowledge Enjolras' perspective as well because think about it. Enjolras represents all that is belief and faith and passion, and yet is at one of his lowest points in where he is losing hope, his friends are dead and his rebellion went up in flames. So when R, the one who represents all cynicism and doubt, declares he is one of them [the rebels] and dies beside Enjolras when he could have easily ran away? Enjolras smiles in this scene because he convinced the one man who had faith in nothing to believe for once. And if he could do that, he knew that his efforts were at least worth something.
