it's so fascinating how we joke about barricade day like it’s a time loop. are any other fandom holidays treated as such? are other holidays in general celebrated this way? every year by our own fanaticism it resets and we go down the same path and make the same jokes. "surely this year the people will rise." but that's the point isn't it ? we keep on going, just as the stage show is performed again and again. revolution does not end. injustice persists, the fight for change persists, and therefore so does our need for this story. "So long as ignorance and poverty exist on earth, books of the nature of Les Misérables cannot fail to be of use" and such...

god marius is such a shitty revolutionary like honestly.....your wife's beloved father comes to you in distress and admits he stole a loaf of bread to stay alive and he's out of his mind with guilt about it like "i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i don't deserve to be alive i'll never come here again" and he's like "yeah pls don't"
bro 💀 call yourself un ami de l'abaissé???
enjolras would have smacked you

I love how in some productions Marius genuinely looks so mortified when Éponine takes his book before the robbery. Like girl what on earth do you got in that book??😭😭 Is that some handwritten Napoleon x reader yaoi?? Actually no that’s definitely what it is

I feel like a lot of English les mis fans are missing out on some devastating detail. Did you know Turning’s title and chorus is actually a reference to a french nursery rhyme « tourne tourne petit moulin ». They are singing one last song to their dead children.

Saw the template and I immediately thought about them. I had to.
This was literally my thoughts (and comments) the first time I watched Les mis.

Les Misérables AU where Marius immediately breaks down after Valjean’s confession and tells Cosette her dad is a thief and she responds with “I know lmao??” because Valjean has been disappearing for weeks at a time and coming back with stacks of cash throughout her whole adolescence and it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. She has in fact been vastly overestimating his crimes and is almost disappointed to find out it was one loaf of bread nearly forty years ago

I'll never forgive 'Ponine's line "What the hell do I care, do you think you can scare me?!" being cut from Attack on Rue Plumet when the musical moved from the Barbican Center to the Palace Theater.

omg les mis fandom, you won't believe what happened today!! so i went to starbucks earlier and when the barista asked for my name, i said "enjolras" and she said "like from les mis??" and i went "YEAH!!" and then she got out a gun and shot me eight times, pinning me to the wall in a glorious state akin to martyrdom.
