I think we should start ranking Les Mis translations by how thirsty Grantaire talks like

[revolutionarymusicals]

Gavroche: The Gamin of Paris (1872), translated and adapted by M. C. Pyle.

This is the earliest book adaptation of Les Mis of which I’m aware (from just 10 years after Les Mis itself was published and well within Hugo’s lifetime) and it’s sort of… bizarre.

I don’t have time at present to do anything more than skim-read it, so I haven’t quite got the full measure of it. That said, for the most part, it seems to simply be a clumsy translation of Gavroche’s sections of the original novel, with very little context given around them until it’s necessary to explain things like… Jean Valjean.

On the barricades, only Marius, Combeferre, and Joly seem to exist. Marius is given Enjolras’s lines and role.

From there, it all gets… interesting? Eponine survives the barricades… only to die of consumption. Gavroche also lives and is adopted, along with Montparnasse (who gets a redemption arc to rival Kylo Ren’s, is renamed Victor Leblanc, and becomes a sailor) and Gavroche’s two younger brothers, by “Monsieur Leblanc”.

I swear I’m not making any of this up.

Here’s to PRETTY BOYS ………….

Les Amis icon set ! Original full picture

(Unfortunately I can’t squeeze marius and cosette in because of the image limit but they’re also available !)

[revolutionarymusicals]

the evolution of enjolras’s hair, from high school through college (because i’m a lazy asshole who can’t be bothered to try to figure out france’s weird as hell school system)

edit: i am aware america’s school system is weird too, but omg forgive me for not doing research for one ridiculous piece of fanart, is it completely necessary to comment on that instead of, oh i don’t know, the art itself? (and at least our system makes numerical sense ok)

Marius cockblocking.

I wanted to draw more Marius so I filled a request I got a little while ago for that exact phrase, didn’t realize til I finished the request was from an anon so anon if you were the one please let me know if you see this.

I do love all the messages I get so do understand even if I haven’t answered yet it’s mostly because I want to hoard it in my box and keep it ;__;

[revolutionarymusicals]

everybody loves feuilly~

(merry-taire​ had this idea that was just begging to be drawn)

It’s not easy being Green

[revolutionarymusicals]

Finnish-Swedish Les Mis, in which Marius falls from a tree and then sings to Cosette from the ground.
