Les Amis as BTS members...

alt text under the cut:

a thread of tweets from Twitter user Les Mis Podcast.

in anticipation of an upcoming episode, here's #LesAmis as #BTS members...

A photo of J-hope. ‘Bahorel was the man to see for good humour and bad company; he was brave, ... chatty verging on eloquent, bold verging on provocative; he was the best bastard that ever there was; he wore loud waistcoats and flaming red opinions to match; he was a great one for noise'

A photo of RM. ‘Feuilly was very big-hearted. He had a huge embrace. This orphan had adopted the whole world... He did not want there to be a single person on earth without a motherland... In this inner circle of young utopians, specifically focused on France, he represented the outside world.’

A photo of Jimin. ‘Jean Prouvaire was in love, cultivated a flower in a pot, played the flute, wrote poetry, loved the people ...His voice was usually soft but would suddenly become manly. He was good, above all; and, in a way that is perfectly straightforward’

A photo of Jungkook. 'Combeferre ...was well-read, a purist, precise, polytechnical, hard-working, and at the same time imaginative “to the point of having hallucinations,” as his friends liked to say. He believed in all these dreams...'

A photo of Suga. 'Courfeyrac did in fact have that youthful vim we might call the diabolical beauty of wit... Only, Courfeyrac was a good lad... in Courfeyrac [there was] a paladin.'

A photo of V. 'Joly... was the cheeriest of the lot. All these inconsistencies — being young, fastidious, hypochondriacal, full of life — got on very well together, and produced an eccentric and likeable person that his cronies'

A photo of Jin. ‘Bossuet was a cheery boy who had bad luck. His speciality was not to succeed at anything. On the other hand, he laughed at everything... relentless persecution by fate had made him inventive. He was endlessly resourceful.'

A photo of the group. ‘These young men formed a sort of family among themselves, they were such close friends.’

A final tweet that reads: (and yes op decided not to include E/R because they don't have a death wish)

BadImagines Library: Main Characters

This is replacing the old masterposts, for the sake of tidiness, but will still be tagged as a masterpost. I’ll be editing this, rather than adding new works in reblogs. There will be multiple library posts, because at the time of changing to this system I have 70 written imagines.

For more posts, see Les Amis and Misc. & Minor Characters

One good thing about trying to analyze Les Misérables is that you don’t have to dig very deep to find the symbolism of stuff. If Victor Hugo intended something to be symbolic, he will tell you. In excruciating detail.

Damn, who wrote the over-the-top positive bio panegyric of Victor Hugo on the NNDB? I mean, I’m a Hugolâtre, and even I think it’s a bit much.

Edit: HAHAHA YOU GUYS IT’S FROM THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA

Announcing a new Discord server, 2460Con, for the purpose of planning and launching an online-only Les Miserables convention in 2022: https://discord.gg/PJApYbCbnU. We, the inception committee, will be holding a series of public planning meetings on the server to gauge interest, refine plans for programming and guests, finalize the dates, and recruit volunteers and members of the convention committee (concom). 

The initial planning meeting is Sunday, 17th January at 5:00 pm UTC (see when this is in your timezone). If you think you would have any interest in attending an online Les Mis con, come join us! We’re looking for volunteers at all levels, and for input from anyone who might attend. 

Even if you’re not sure about attending the con, we’d love to see you on the server to chat about Les Mis. Are you a fan—of the Brick, the musical, or other adaptations? Are you a media fan who enjoys Les Mis (or had a fannish fling in 2013) and would like to find out more? Are you interested in attending or presenting programming on history, literature, media studies, fan studies, translation studies, or any other relevant disciplines in our academic track? (Independent scholars at all levels are welcome and are encouraged to submit.) Then join us at https://discord.gg/PJApYbCbnU! 

Feel free to signal-boost the link to anyone who might be interested–organizing a great convention means pulling together as wide and diverse a membership as we can.
