Loads of productions of les mis have Montparnasse with a scar on his face and yes it makes him look all cool and mysterious and like a hardened criminal. But also he would protect his face at all costs. I mean that boy would rather be stabbed in the chest than cut on his face. That’s the money maker. Realistically, though his hands and knife and general criminal skills are the money makers but we let him think what he wants.

Grantaire: I don’t want to let anyone down. So what I’m going to do is come along and generally sour the mood.

Courfeyrac: Gav, get inside with the other children Gavroche:

I found a bag of these cake topper things at a yard sale and well. I’m not super happy with how everything turned out but it was a good first try.

Now kiss

Combeferre about Enjolras: He’s been asleep for 22 hours. It’s amazing what he’s slept through.

Grantaire: He must be so tired.

Combeferre: I’ve been monitoring his vitals, he’s completely fine.

Grantaire: I love him so much.

Grantaire:

Grantaire: I think I’m going to draw a moustache on him.

did grantaire write this

[barricadebuilders]

Okay so I know Grantaire drawing Enjolras in his sketchbook and being really protective and secretive about it because of this is a really common trope

But what about Enjolras who takes a notepad with him at all times so he can write down thoughts that come to his head or clever phrases or parts of stories or newspaper articles or statistics that he might be able to use when he’s writing essays or speeches then suddenly gets really tetchy when Combeferre asks if he can borrow it to write something in and Enjolras who nearly rips Courfeyrac’s head off when he tries to steal a bit of paper

And Enjolras who becomes frantic when he realises it isn’t in his bag and he can’t remember where he’s left it and is pacing around his kitchen trying to mentally retrace his steps when the doorbell rings and Grantaire’s there holding the notepad with a look of consternation on his face and asking “This is yours, right?” and Enjolras nods and tries to snatch it out of his hand but Grantaire just holds it out of reach and walks in and puts it onto a table and opens it to a certain page and points at it and quietly says “Please explain.”

Because the page is titled “GRANTAIRE” and is almost entirely covered in neat scribbles in what is painfully obviously Enjolras’ handwriting and Enjolras has to desperately try to think of a suitable explanation that isn’t the truth because he doesn’t know how well Grantaire would take “I wrote down everything I like about you to try and figure out these weird emotions you make me experience and I may have concluded that I’m in love with you”

I was scared that everyone on tumblr would like bbc les mis and then it would change our little fandom and our current headcanons and basically everything we have. But honestly what was I thinking, you’re lovely people. I come on here and everyone is just as angry as it as I am.
