Broadway Hunger Games

Hey Mizzies!

It seems today, that our lover-boy Marius (Andy Mientus) has been reaped for the 2014 Broadway Hunger Games. 

If you want to channel your inner Val Jean till the end of April, lets work hard so we can 

as a survivor of these Hunger Games.

You can find the rules here, but I'll also paste them for convenience.

1. Voting. Each citizen of the capitol (that’s you) may vote ONE time per battle pairing. Do this by commenting below or tweeting with #BwayHungerGames. This gives the tribute ONE point. You may comment AND tweet if you’d like to earn double points.

2. Capitol Citizen Sponsorship. As a citizen of the capitol you have the opportunity to sponsor your favorite tributes by letting everyone else know of their skills. Remember that youtube video you watched where your tribute belted their face off? Post it in your voting comment to earn them an extra point. Has your favorite tribute won a Tony, have they been in more shows than anyone else? Mention this in your voting comment to earn them an extra point. PLEASE REMEMBER TO ONLY POST ONE COMMENT PER BATTLE PAIRING. Multiple comments will not result in more points for your tribute. However, should you want to split your comments up by battle, feel free to do so (i.e. you may comment 12 times on this post as there are 12 battles). Any of the above examples will get your tribute ONE extra point.

I SWEAR THIS IS THE FUCKING FUNNIEST THING IN LES MIS AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT

'The person I'm crazy over doesn't like me'

'Get some new pants to show your legs off I know the best store'

'OMIGOD HOW MUCH?'

remember when cosette said she was leaving to england and marius was like “what. what the. no. no you’re not.” and cosette was like “well!!! just come with us” and marius just “what is wrong with you. what are you talking about. i’ve been wearing the same pair of pants every day for two months. do you really expect me to be able to go to england.” and then he slammed his head against a tree and stood that way for two hours while cosette cried

I just want one good college au that stays true to the brick canon in that Marius isn’t a member of the amis. I want that one fic where he’s just Courfeyrac’s dopey roommate, and when Courf brings him to a meeting, Marius says something about being “fiscally conservative but socially liberal” and there’s a moment of tense silence where everyone just stares at him before Enjolras slowly rises to his feet and coldly whispers “get out.”

[ Victor Hugo, who wrote "Les Misérables"] describes her using animalistic terms. He calls her a beast, a broken sparrow. She's past feral—she's like a wild being who raised herself on the streets. I tried to bring catlike qualities to my movements. The only light she has in her life, the only time I really smile is when I'm with Marius. It's not even just that she's in love with him, it's that he is this glimpse outside of her world.

Bless you Nikki!nine. Bless you.

I just read this about Enjolras’ name.

[pilferingapples]

ooh, what’s this from?  (er. and what’s it say, for the benefit of a poor English-single-language speaker?)

[400barrels]

In my super super crap French, something like: "The name builds on the double sense of ‘angel’, from ‘angelically beautiful’ to ‘the terrible cherubim of Ezekiel’. As well as the aspects of ‘rosy’* and ‘wise’, the name enjôleur** also contains the forename Jean: that of (the?) heroes, that of ‘the disciple Jesus loved’ and that of the Baptist." *I’m guessing meaning ‘young’ and ‘phwoar’, after Hugo describes his ‘joues roses’/rosy cheeks **well spoken/smooth spoken

[pilferingapples]

…Wait. Are you telling me according to this analysis HE REALLY IS NAMED JEAN?!? *shakes fist at the sky* HUUUUUGOOOOOOO

(and thank you!)

[400barrels]

I KNOW. I KNOW. I mean, I can’t tell whether this particular quote is saying ‘Jean’ is implied in the sound of the name, or actually definitely is his forename, but either way, it does seem to be Jeans all the way down. (I am  sticking with the “his name is really ‘Jean Jolras’ and his friends misheard him the first time” theory.)

I mean it actually is interesting literarily if nearly all the male characters have the same, extremely common forename. Like they’re all versions of Jean Q. Publique (except poor Marius).

[pilferingapples]

JEAN JOLRAS Jean Q. Publique would have been enough but JEAN JOLRAS THERE IS NO WAY TO GO OOOON

[choking-on-ellipses]

I mean, if they’re all named Jean, it would explain why only their last names are given (except for Prouvaire because of the medieval-ized nickname). Because I don’t think Enjolras would want to call out “Jean!” and have eight people answer.

A choice I should only have to make in hell. 

Who deserves a Tony nod?

my history professor asked what the difference between the American and french revolutions is and I said the American revolution doesn’t have a musical

[staronthedoor-blog]

Neither does the French one, technically.
