Hello! O queen of les mis! I have a question and was hoping you’d be able to help. I read a les mis fanfic a LONG time ago that I am trying desperately to find again. The premise was that eponine was able to rewind time, and she kept rewinding it to prevent Marius from dying at the barricade and ended up unraveling her whole life in the process. Is there any chance you have a link to this story? Thank you so much!

Shh no Queens no Kings, We Are All Citizens Here XD

And I happen to be one who probably has a link to the fic you want-- Shellcollector's Unravel , on AO3!

Happy reading!

The only purpose for the pockets in swim trunks is to store the copious amounts of shells and treasures you collect

High-context imagine but: I would like to request Y/N joining Tom Hooper's army of supporters assembling in a cinema to defend Cats from the aesthetically conservative naysayers who intend to disrupt the the showing with their laughter.

As Shell says, this imagine requires a fair bit of context - basically, it’s the Battle of Hernani but instead it’s CATS (2019). 

Imagine...

You take so long getting ready for the premiere that you're almost late. It's hard to do a subtle, stylish-yet-obvious cosplay of every single CATS character, but you think you've pulled it off.

Rolling up to the cinema, you join the group of Tommy's friends. You know he'll be watching from the shadows somewhere, so you gotta do him proud. You had vaguely hoped that some of the cast would show, but they're conspicuously absent. It's a shame; you did want Francesca Hayward's autograph. Maybe Tommy can hook you up sometime.

The atmosphere inside the cinema is palpable. All kinds of tensions are running high. There's your own mixture of excitement and extreme arousal, plus a far pricklier energy coming off the rest of the crowd. You're well aware that some of the people are here to hatewatch, and you're ready for them. They can do whatever they like, they aren't going to ruin this for Tommy.

Once inside the auditorium, you and the rest of the group take your seats in the front row. Your heart is pounding fast with excitement. You've all been waiting for this for so long and it's finally here. The musical on the big screen at last, with such a star studded cast ! How you're going to control yourself when the heartthrobs appear onscreen is a mystery.

The lights dim. The movie is about to start. You grip your armrests. You have come into battle and you're determined not to go down without a fight. The crowds be damned, this is a masterpiece.

And dear lord, what a battle it is. There are so many times you come close to losing. The palpably sensual moment where Jason Derulo looks like he's going to lick Francesca Hayward's foot almost tips the audience over the edge. It takes a lot of cheering Taylor Swift to drown out the jeers that she incurs and Idris Elba's undeniable nakedness causes a bit of a stir. Rebel Wilson unzipping her own skin causes another ripple, as does the moment where she eats the cockroaches with human faces.

By the halfway point, you're shaking with a mixture of passion and fury. How can people be so disrespectful? How can they fail to appreciate art that is so brave, bold and honest? How are they incapable of being moved by the sweet notes of Memories? You'd understand slight moments of confusion - the movie does, of course, make some significant deviations from the stage production - but they don't seem to appreciate any of the changes. Mr Mistoffelees is so much more sensitive, and his budding relationship with Victoria is so beautiful. Memories makes you sob buckets. By the time of Judi Dench's closing address, you feel as if you have traversed the entire spectrum of human emotion.

As soon as the credits begin to roll, you and your comrades leap to your feet to frantically applaud. Tears have smudged the whiskers painted on your cheeks. Around you, the rest of the audience sits there and just laughs. As if it were all a joke! As if you were nothing more than a spectacle! As if this movie, this film, did not show something brutally honest about the feline condition!

It is no matter; your applause drowns them out. Though you cannot see him, you know that Tom Hooper is watching from a hidden vantage point. You can feel his eyes boring into your back, a quiet smile of satisfaction on his face. The rest of the war is yet to come, but you have emerged the victor of the first battle of CATS the movie.

Colors & patterns of the sea. I’m revisiting the beautiful collection of yellow, creme & white shells from my beach trips to Florida and the Bahamas. I’m always amazed at the beauty and design of nature. #shellcollector

The random number generator I use for these things because I Can't Choose gave me a 9, and I am actually interested to know how you'd answer these for Grantaire so here we go!

favorite thing about them: Fundamentally he can’t actually make himself not care even though he tries very hard. He’s attracted to and admires what he lacks, rather than just immersing himself totally in apathy. In short that, unlike fanon Grantaire, he’d never belittle Enjolras and what he believes in, and wouldn’t be capable of doing so.

least favorite thing about them:He’s a complete asshole. Even people who know he’s an asshole seem to forget just how much of an asshole he is. He sexually harasses women, like, in the text. A lot of people got upset over him making a gross joke about Cosette in BBC les mis? But that is definitely… the kind of joke he would make even if in canon he makes fun of Marius in kind of the opposite way. And yeah it’s super uncool but so is Grantaire.

favorite line:“Vive la République ! J'en suis.”

random headcanon:Grantaire’s dad is a mathematics professor and just desperately trying to get Grantaire to, like, acquire an actual career, be able to support himself after they are gone, et cetera. Like his parents care about him a lot and are trying their best for him.

unpopular opinion:The premise and characterisation of at least 95% of fics featuring Grantaire would work better and make more sense with a different character, and most people who write him are actually not interested in Grantaire the original character.

song i associate with them:  I mean you already know THE Grantaire song is Stray Italian Greyhound

But you had to come along didn’t youRev up the crowd, rewrite the rule bookWhere do I go when every ‘no’ turns into ‘maybe’

So what do I do with this?This sudden burst of sunlightAnd me with my umbrellaCross-indexing every weatherman’s reportI was ready for the downslideBut not for spring to well upThis feeling calls for everything I can’t affordTo knowIs possible now

favorite picture of them:  @ courbet’s absolutely perfect walrus mustache Grantaire

shellcollector replied to your post “Is Snitch Nightly just the ancestor of Lazer Ted?”

Austin says that the difference between them is that Lazer Ted is fundamentally a Good Boy, and Snitch Nightly... isn't

Yeah, that about sums them up, doesn’t it

How to get pretty/ complete shells:

a guide by a floridian sand gremlin

WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!

Start in the sand before the shoreline, there’s a lot of broken shells there, they’re can be really pretty shards in there (you can do this while waiting for the sunscreen to soak up) wear shoes or sandals if they hurt your feet too much.

if you like a shell, grab it. It doesn’t matter if it’s small or broken, or covered in barnacles and worn down with holes. There is no such thing as an “ugly shell” so go crazy!

After the sunscreen has soaked in, and if the water is clear enough, wade to about knee-thigh height and squint as best you can to see what’s at the bottom. The waves are just something you have to deal with, look for half buried objects and tread carefully (sting-ray shuffle if your a floridian). If you see something grab it. You can also put on goggles and stick your head in the water to find things.

Make sure you don’t stay in the same place twice, pick a direction and wade/walk through a bit. But don’t stay there.

Stay close to the shore of the waves are especially large (California). Don’t risk our life for the sake of a shell.

(This doesn’t always work) but you can go deeper, just use goggles and stay low to the bottom like a sting-ray, dig around and pick up things you like (mostly shards, leave the crabs and fish alone)

Take breaks, if you find that your not finding anything good, go back and sit in the shade and drink water, if you live in a colder place, wrap yourself up for a bit. Make sure to reapply sunscreen and eat something too! Take stock of how many shells you have collected, and maybe even start identifying them!

Make sure to show people what you find! There’s so much validation in seeing your friends gawk at the shell you found.

Make sure to clean your shells!!! I made the mistake of just sticking them in jars when I got home WITHOUT CLEANING THEM, and they stink...so make sure you use water and bleach and clean those suckers good.

I hope this was helpful! These are some tips that just help me find good shells, and just today I found a completed (and connected) common cockle clam!
