#Les Misèrables

[fructidors]

one more dawn, one more day…

happy barricade day i made a flag and embroidered a map of paris from 1800 on it!! (and i did it in just one weekend)

I have been checking out the Disney Duck Family Les Misérables adaptation.

Zack de la Rocha from the band Rage Against the Machine as Enjolras from les Miserables is my new favourite fancast. I'm sorry, i think it fits really well.

I love it when adults have a hard time comprehending the fact the Javert was played by a woman in my school’s production of Les Mis

But honestly, she deserves to be in broadway, and I’m not exaggerating.

Boomer: She?

Me: Yes

Boomer: a girl?

Me: yes 🙂

Boomer: A girl?

Me: Yes. 🙂🙂 *eye twitch*

Petition to make "Alternate Setting - USA" a mandatory AO3 tag for USians who randomly decide Les Amis are suddenly no longer in France (or act in ways that really only make sense in the US)

I’m sorry, I know you asked me to do something but then I listened to Bring Him Home from Les Misèrables and pictured Dhurke towards the end of Turnabout Revolution thinking of Apollo and Nahyuta and praying for them “You can take, you can give, let him be, let him live. If I die, let me die, let him live.” and I’m going to be crying for the rest of the evening so please remind me again tomorrow.

Wait you read Les Mis? Like the giant book? How?

I am currently reading it. I am constantly shouting at this man to please just shut the fuck up and get on with it. as to how, I may be insane already so no amount of classical French wordiness is going to make me more insane

I would kill someone with my bare hands for Combeferre

even though the 1978 movie may not be that good, i still kinda ... like it i'm not gonna lie.

not because i like the way it's done and the way they kinda just got rid of every other aspect of les misérables, but because i REALLY like this javert.

not only did they finally allow javert to have HAIR in a movie adaptation like he deserves, but i actually like the way his character was written. we get to see a different side of javert that is certainly still in the book, and not just a cruel one. this javert more demonstrates javert's awkward side, such as the carnival scene where he's walking around with another officer and then immediately burns out and wants to leave.

the way he speaks to valjean is different as well. of course he's still suspicious and all, but he seems to genuinely see himself as below him and is as respectful as he can be in his own way.

i also really like that we get to see the way javert is treated by his boss as well as him being emotional in those scenes and later when he's in the sewers with valjean.

realistically, javert's boss is not kind to him because javert didn't fit society's standards back then.

but the scene in the sewers is pretty powerful to me minus it's flaws. "there is no g-d, only the law. good and evil do not exist outside of the law."

also the first scene with him is a close up on his heels that's pretty funny

This is what my brain sounds like all the time

forget hauteville house. THIS is the absolutely essential destination for every les mis enthusiast

[mochimellowd]

And must I now begin to doubt

What I never doubted all those years?

I am reaching but I fall, and the stars are black and cold

I'll escape now from that world

There is no where I can turn, there is no way to go on

For this year's barricade day i had lots of projects: i wanted to make broaches for me and my friend to wear while watching the 2012's musical, i wanted to make a cake and decorate it on theme, i wanted to make silly shirts with les amis de l'abc etc...

I didn't make anything, but after all the barricade day's spirt also consists in doing absolutely nothing and going to sleep.

Les Mis has ruined me

hi, aidoneus!! how've you been?? i hope well? i was curious — do you have any book recommendations? your tone is very articulate and distinct (positive). i just got the vibe that you might be well versed in your literature (although, i could be completely off, so forgive me if i am!!) because of that.i hope you have a wonderful day!! :)

I have been tired, but alright for the most part. And I’m glad you enjoy the writing style (I get teased for sounding like an old man haha), thank you. I wish you a good day also! Have you been well?

I do enjoy literature, and I wish I read as much as I used to. My knowledge of good/popular new releases is abysmally out of date, so I would have to ask my darling if you have more contemporary YA romance tastes. You will have to be more specific about what kind of books and genres you are interested in so I can provide more tailored recommendations. I have too varied and too many favourites to provide general suggestions.
