Real questions for the Yam Au Pt.2: if Enjolras didn't get the reference, does that mean he hasn't seen Kid Gorgeous? And if so, which of Les Amis is correcting that?! Which people live together in this au? Did Mont actually stole the watch and did anyone tell Ep about the snap she wasn't supposed to see? Is Marius still in denial about being hot and did they throw him to the cops as a shield? Where was E/R first date? How blind is Ferre without his glasses? Is he the only one who needs them?
boy oh boy you’re really earning my undying love here okay round two of answers under the cut cause it’s long as fuck
a) enjolras has not seen kid gorgeous, his comedy tastes tend to lean more towards the political than john mulaney offers, he hasn’t seen the full show but he has seen (of course) the horse in a hospital bit AND heard john mulaney’s breathtakingly accurate law&order bits. he’s also watched the entirety of Hasan Minhaj’s homecoming king at least four times and eagerly awaits every installment of the patriot act because my boy supports CoC (comedians of colour) and witty political commentary
b) joly bossuet and musichetta obviously live together, and the recent marius/cosette engagement and cosette moving in w pontmercy forced courfeyrac to either find a new roommate or alternate accommodation [stares directly at combeferre] and as established bahorel asked feuilly to move in with him so this means both enjolras and grantaire have lost flatmates??? GASP jk what ends up happening is jehan moves in w grantaire and eponine moves out of her sketchy studio apt. and in w enjolras and they end up being stunningly compatible roommates in a shocking turn of events because they work in similar conditions and enjolras, already accustomed to courf’s constant stream of music has no problem w the amount of rap ep blasts on a regular basis and becomes quite a fan of snow tha product and awkwafina in the end (also now grantaire has a permanent excuse to come over and visit, conveniently ‘forgetting’ when ep is working on a daily basis)
c) the only things montparnasse actually deigns to pay money for are korean face masks and food (if he can’t avoid it)
d) no one told her, but she saw it on gav’s youtube channel anyway, and ‘accidentally’ spilled just a few drops of bleach on montparnasse’s new versace turtleneck. he’s been a lot more careful about what he enables since.
e) you know that pete davidson interview where he says he gave ariana grande a list of attractive men she could be dating instead of him and was like ‘are you sure? me? me instead of them? really?!’ that’s marius. every day.
f) courf would never let them use marius as a human shield against like. actual violence or anything but they do have a fun little tactic of grooming up marius and grantaire before demonstrations into the Good Intentioned White Male Students who conveniently stand right in front of the Blatantly Queer POC Gang
g) a week or so after the exhibition opens, enjolras casually bemoans the fact he still hasn’t had time to see grantaire’s work and the only day he’s free both courfeyrac and combeferre are “””busy””” and grantaire offers to go with him and show him around. the majority of grantaire’s work is weird neo-dadaist mixed media shit that enjolras Does Not Understand but he likes the way grantaire sounds when he explains them. afterwards they take a walk and talk about whether or not art has an inherent responsibility to be political. enjolras works up the courage to reach out and hold grantaire’s hand when he realises they both think banksy is overrated, and afterwards grantaire takes him to his favourite little pop up restaurant and they share a plate of fried dumplings
h) the second time combeferre slept over at courfeyrac’s, he went into the kitchen and saw courfeyrac sitting at the table, and bent down to press a kiss to his neck. this turned out to be marius. they never spoke of it again.
i) eponine is 21 years old when she sees leaves in detail for the first time, because her shitty parents never did anything about the fact that she obviously needed glasses because they were an unnecessary expense. jehan has astigmatism, musichetta is far-sighted and cosette fucked her eyesight by spending so much time reading in the dark as a kid
