I've had this sitting in my drafts for months so I thought I should just post it now ! yumechanom and I were looking up some XIXth century painters' self portraits, and coming across some of them we started to build up some canon-era fancast ... (canon era meaning all of XIXth century, not everyone there is contemporary to the 1930s ofc)
Idek here it is.
(more or less)Canon- era fancast :
William Turner as Enjolras
Gustave Courbet as Grantaire
Franz Schubert as Combeferre
Eugène Delacroix as Courfeyrac
Delacroix's Orphan Girl as Eponine
Fragonard's Reader as Cosette
(that one's kinda anarchronical though sorry)
+ Bonus young Cosette and
Joseph Bara as some sort of young Enjolras I don't really know but he's perfect and he's a symbol of republic
The Grande Braderie was amazing and allowed at last to find the beautiful leather bound Les Misérables complete set I have been waiting for all my life. (plus a bunch of Gustave Doré engravings and very pretty Joseph Bara portrait that yumechanom and I bought to hang in our apt)
I was particularly thrilled by that ancient French Revolution board game. A must-have.
I made my flatmate watch the 2012 les mis movie yesterday and at the moment we're speaking she is now capable of recognizing and naming all the amis and their characteristics even in aus I have to admit I'm rather proud

5. Ever had a lucid dream? Please elaborate, tell me a weird one.
It was a race around town, with bits of Shanghai and bits of Lyon, all mingled together, and shitty perspective, and I think I was looking for something, a music box, so I was talking to faces I knew from high school. These faces belonged to people I had never interacted with in real life and that's when I knew the whole thing was a dream. While the colours were very urban (aka greyish blues and greens and muds), the shapes of things were surreal, I could feel the streets dancing under my feet, not the way everything spins when you're about to faint, it was literally a dance, just like in those old cartoon openings where you see a character running and the streets just can't be straight and you sense the roundness of the earth when you look at them. Woke up feeling I was falling when I was about to get capital information from one of the German rock band musicians (the school in Shanghai was both French and German, and we had quite a few bands on both sides), and we were in a church.
Not sure this is weird enough to qualify, but that's the weirdest dream I can remember that had a tingle of lucidity in it.
6. Do you have an irrational phobia or something that makes you quite uneasy (likewise irrationally)?

Qui ne voudrait pas épouser Winry en même temps ?? En plus la mienne a des taches de rousseur. C'est tout ce qui lui manquait (je sais je suis un peu un génie)
