#happy barricade day!

[officialrosencrantz]

reading les mis is so wild because victor hugo will give these fantastical descriptions of the 1832 paris riots in all their bloody, terrifying chaos, and then he'll drop one blink-and-you'll-miss-it paragraph of. btw i was there. got stuck in this shop for like an hour while both sides were shooting at each other inside of it. anyways as i was saying about the sewers

[cubexr]

if u ever feel bad about yourself, remember that there is an entire fandom celebrating a rebellion that, in fact, failed

a group which barely missed becoming historic (ft. marius)

people forget that in the book grantaire was a boxer, gymnast, and a dancer. i’m sorry WHAT

[adri-atics]

I’m so obsessed with Drink With Me you guys don’t understand - the resignation, the acceptance of what will inevitably come in the morning, the choice they made to stay and see it all through to the end, despite everything.

Then Grantaire says:

“Can it mean you fear to die?”

“Can it mean your death means nothing at all?”

Which are such strong and beautiful lines, but also the voice of all their fears. Maybe it was all for nothing. Maybe they died for a belief that could never be.

And yet the next verse is happy and hopeful and dedicated to camaraderie. They don’t want to die, but they will. And they chose to spend their last night with their friends.

“Here’s to you, and here’s to me.”
