I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Grantaire canonically being an art school dropout explains literally Everything about his character. No wonder he’s Like That— no wonder he’s a pretentious burnout who has tons of random media/art history knowledge but is ultimately lost, directionless, and lacking in ambition. XD

Modern-day Grantaire is the Art School Dropout with an amateurish Ms-Paint adjacent furry art style who’s constantly making posts like “Emergency Commissions! Help a Queer Neurodivergent Trans Man Pay Rent!” And only his friends Joly & Bossuet commission him, out of friendship, not because his art is very good or because he ever finishes anything. Then because Grantaire is Grantaire, he obviously crashes out and only gets halfway through Joly’s furry commission of Rouge the Bat before giving up. But his friends never ask Grantaire for a refund on their unfinished commissions, because they never expected him to finish anyway.

The barriere du Maine scene in a modern AU would be like. One day Enjolras “consents to try him” and commissions Grantaire for a sketch of his revolutionary eagle fursona, as an act of pity. Grantaire spends a few hours crashing out over how to draw it properly, promising enjolras he’ll honor his commission contract, swearing up and down he’ll finish the furry commission this time—before giving up to go play Minecraft

i originally wrote this as a response to a post i saw, but i didn't want to call out op directly especially because it seemed to be a personal vent. this is a conversation i've seen in this fandom for a while now anyway so here are my thoughts re: turning in the les mis musical and the implication of hopelessness.

i've talked about this multiple times before but les miserables was published in 1862, 30 years after the june rebellion. by that point, both the 1830 and the 1832 rebellions had snowballed into the revolution of 1848, which achieved many of the reforms the previous revolutionaries had dreamed of. hugo's readers were living in a society where, despite the poverty and corruption still existing all around them, many of the goals of the past revolutionaries had actually been achieved.

things were still very, very far from perfect. people like jean valjean and fantine were suffering still every day in 1862 and still do now. the "miserables" of the book are still everywhere then and now, and in some ways it feels like not much has improved since then and we're constantly fighting the same battle. victor hugo himself said that books like les miserables will be necessary as long as oppression exists in the world (paraphased). but despite it all, hugo did not write the fall of the barricades as a tragic or hopeless ending and his readers in 1862 didn't interpret it such either, at least not entirely. through his portrayal of each individual revolutionary and their efforts at the june rebellion, hugo showed what it took to get to the society they lived in in 1862, and that even if it seemed like a failure at the time and many horrors from 1832 still persisted, change was possible.

i'm not trying to change anyone's mind, because it's been increasingly hard to find hope about the current state of the world. i'm absolutely not trying to shame or call out anyone (least of all the original poster) for expressing hopelessness because i think we're all struggling with it right now. i completely understand if this is how you feel. but that is exactly what hugo was refuting by writing les miserables. in my opinion, it's perfectly valid to criticize the musical for failing to adhere to that message of the book. les miserables is a story of hope; if you're arguing that the musical's inclusion of turning is more realistic, then you're disagreeing with victor hugo and the fundamental message of the book.

so anyways. i don't have a poignant message to end this with. it's hard to actually apply the hopeful ending of les miserables to the context of our time. but i just want to reiterate that this is a story of hope. it's easy to agree with the musical's cynical view that none of this will matter. but this was not hugo's intention. even grantaire the cynic was ultimately moved to profess himself to the cause and died alongside enjolras. 30 years later, people read about the june rebellion and saw how the revolutionaries' efforts had not gone to waste. there is still hope.
