Time Travel Question : Murder and Disappearance Edition I

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.

Grantaire is actually a Québécois who moved to Paris as a teenager to study art. He learned Parisian French/Slang as a student though artist’s studios and bars.

So, not only are his ramblings long as hell, they are also in this bizarre amalgamation of french dialects and unintelligible.

Modern french student Enjolras is 100% the kind of guy who rolls his own cigarettes ("because it's less expensive" but it's partly because it does objectively make you exponentially cooler). He definitely rolls them while he's talking to you and he blows smoke in your face and contributes to the gigantic cloud of cigarette smoke that fills the air above the Sorbonne courtyard during lunchtime

So, in the honor of the barricade days, let me tell you a little bit about the riots of march 2023 in France and how it impacted me as someone living near Paris

As you may know, our dear french President Emmanuel Macron passed a law on retirement (pushing the age to 63 to 67) using a thing called "49.3" - meaning that the law will not be voted by the deputies in the National Assembly but only by the Prime Minister and the President.

We french people don't really liked that, so we rioted.

It was a historical movement, thousands of people were in the street everday for months, and I participated in two of the riots in Paris.

The first was the day after the 49.3 was used, and we were PISSED. Now there's two types of protests in France: the one where it's autorized by the Mayor and organized by the CGT or others, and, well, riots. We were at Concorde, in front of the National Assembly, and police were EVERYWHERE. All the streets were blocked by cops, we couldn't get out of the place.

We started a fire with the things laying around, and made a barricade in front of the police. A fire barricade. That was AWESOME.

We also burned a puppet of Macron. That was cool too.

But quickly, things started going wrong. The cops started to charge, they threw tear gas, and we run (i was with 3 friends of mine). But remember, they were everywhere, so we were always surrended by cops and gas, and ppl were panicking (some were teenagers, not even 15) They started arresting people, and with my friends we ran away, took the subway to Chatelet to go eat something, faaaar away from the police.

And then, protesters were there too. If you don't know, the 1832 rebellion actually took place in one of the street of Chatelet, the very street where I was eating with my friends - I PANICKED. There were trash barricades on fire everywhere, police ran after us, my eyes were burning bc of the tear gas, and the only thing i could think of was "ah, i'm going to get arrested and beat off by these pigs in the very same street where they died all those years ago. Great."

I GOT HOME SAFE THAT NIGHT. I WAS EXHAUSTED, MY EYES BURNED FOR 4 DAYS, BUT I WAS SAFE.

let me know if you wanna know the second time I participated in the riot !

(Take so photo and videos of that day too)

Reasons to love the Original Concept Album

Fantine gets a song about misery that basically summarizes the political views of the book.

Gavroche has two full songs and multiple cameos!

Fantine is angry.

Gavroche is overtly political. Actually, everyone is more political.

Rose Laurens and Michel Sardou (my beloved).

Disco Enjolras!

The less talked-of Rock Javert.

"Master of the House" has much better puns.

Seriously, the lyrics of this album fuck severely.

Gavroche's death songggg. :((

It uses the lyrics of the songs from the book verbatim.

Marius is destitute.

No weird religious undertones.

Reasons to maybe not like the Original Concept Album as much

If you don't know the story already you're going to be lossssst.

Jean Valjean? Who? Oh, you mean the guy who gets mentioned a couple of times in passing?

Cosette calls both Valjean and Marius "my prince". Gross.

The Amis don't even get a death mention...

Marius and his grandfather make up.

Enjolras calls Marius "my best friend" (???).
