On This Day In History

June 5th, 1832: The June Rebellion (Insurrection républicaine à Paris en juin 1832) begins. For two days, anti-monarchists fought the National Guards. While the Rebellion was ultimately crushed, it was an important event leading up to the establishment of French democracy. It was immortalized by Victor Hugo in Les Misérables, (1862)

10 facts about The Vampire Emery (my oc)

has bipolar 1 disorder (if I assigned him a Vampire: The Masquerade Clan he'd be a Malkavian)

Bisexual-biromantic

almost died of tuberculosis and cholera in 1830s Paris before receiving vampirism

inspired by Nicolas de Lenfent, Lestat de Lioncourt, Enjolras and multiple TV characters

a gentleman (in theory), until he is not

noted bi disaster, it's gotten him trouble multiple times

a bad streak with partying (and girls)

Took part in the June rebellion of 1832

served time in prison for his part in the June rebellion before his grandfather bought him out of prison

for all the vampire horrors he takes a moral opposition to the death penalty and most systems of capital punishment, basically his own kind would call him "too nice" (derogatory) and "a socialist" (derogatory) and the humans would call him "c.ommie" (negative meaning)

obviously there's no way enjoltaire is making it past like spirk or merthur but i'm genuinely hopeful that they'll get pretty far

The maintenance people set up a baby gate in our Airbnb where we had just barricaded the stairs with all of our suitcases so baby Macky wouldn’t go up … how ironic barricade day ‘24 is the first day we don’t need a barricade.

The boys had seized the cave, and in it they'd found a home away from Welton, away from parents, teachers, and friends—a place where they could be people they never dreamed they'd be. The Dead Poets Society was alive and thriving and ready to seize the day.

had a conversation that made me really curious:

*if it means anything to you I'm talking about the literal situation during June 1832 in Paris, not a hypothetical modern scenario. (This might be relevant if your answer would be impacted by the cultural context surrounding the circumstances of your decision.)

Happy (?) Barricade day to the entirety of the Les Mis fandom materialising today to cry about the 19th century revolutionariy gays and the Paris sewer system before vanishing again tomorrow!
