Rip Grantaire you would've loved doing the Benoit Blanc voice to piss off Enjolras in ABC meetings.

BUT CONSIDER THIS: Grantaire forcing Enjolras to sit down listen to decent music because he can not let this guy be 'austere in his enjoyments' if he's gonna say shit like "yeah, of course I know about the Beatles. They're the ones that cross the street."

Grantaire gently putting his headphones over Enjolras' hair. He should resist letting his fingers brush against soft curls. They do, slightly. He thinks Enjolras does not notice.

Grantaire trying not to laugh at the way Enjolras' hair springs up wildly around the headband. Enjolras glowering like a wet cat.

Enjolras grumbling as he's made to sit through the 'classics', reluctant to admit that some of them are really rather good. Grantaire watching the "this is stupid"s melt into silent understanding. Enjolras realizing what it is to do things just because you want to.

Grantaire unable to stop himself from smiling like an idiot for the entire time.

Grantaire thrilled to witness Enjolras' first ever reaction to Fleetwood Mac (Enjolras can't stop saying 'oh, wow').

Enjolras listening to Jeff Buckley.

Grantaire nervously putting on 'Lover, you should've come over', glancing at Enjolras pointedly, and knowing this the closest he will ever get to confessing.

Enjolras listening, and staring at him.

#BROKEN DOWN AND HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE WITH NO WAY TO FEED IT #tell me thats not R #your honour i had to make this post R is so hideously “so I'll wait for you love and I'll burn” coded #bro is NOT gonna actually tell Enjolras how he feels EVER #save me Enjolras realizing being 'austere in his enjoyments' is not how art works #they're lovers #les mis #les miserables #victor hugo #les misposting #enjolras #grantaire #enjoltaire #jeff buckley #lover you should've come over

Grantaire doing Enjolras's makeup. Grantaire giving Enjolras the sharpest eyeliner ever seen. Enjolras staring at R the whole time

#Enjolras not blinking the whole time #and Grantaire just thinks it's because hes nuts or something but inside Enjolras is going “fuck fuck fuck fuck hes hot now????” #your honour this is important to me #enjoltaire #les miserables #grantaire #enjolras

I love both samantha barks and lea sologna as eponine so much like genuinely perfect casting but I will never be able to get frances ruffelle's "and I knowww it's only in my miiIIIND that iM TALKING TO MYSYAlf and not to hiiiiiiiiim" out of my head like she sings the FUCK outta that line, her stylistic choices are so fantastic, she sounds so anguished and young, I can't get over it

#HER IN A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN 😭😭 #i think the little voice cracks add so much to the feeling of the character #les mis #eponine #frances ruffelle

pls I’m so lazy can someone write a fic for me where Grantaire is a stand-up comedian doing crowd work and he finds Enjolras in the crowd, who is there with Courfeyrac and Combeferre, and just bullies tf outta him

#PLEASE #dont tempt me ive got so many unfinished WIPs #enjolras #les mis #enjoltaire #grantaire

[autumnalmess]

enjolras hyping himself up for literal weeks to finally ask grantaire on a date

enjolras finally convincing himself to pull grantaire aside after a meeting and forcing out the question with a stutter he hasn't had since middle school

enjolras' heart stopping when grantaire gives him a strange look and a harsh laugh, not understanding when the other man simply says "i know jokes aren't your strong suit, but that wasn't funny" before walking away

enjolras standing there for several minutes after, staring at the wall, trying and failing to comprehend what grantaire meant

enjolras finally pulling out his phone to send a distressed text message to combeferre and noticing the calendar icon for the first time that day: April 1

enjolras facepalming, now understanding why grantaire thought he was joking and wondering how the hell he could've made such a stupid mistake

enjolras considering grantaire's reaction and once again becoming confused, because if he'd thought it was a joke... why did he look so upset?

#immediate follow #thanks op now i have to think about this all day (secretly thrilled) #grantaire #enjolras #enjoltaire

Right, who the FUCK is sleeping on the Paris theatre Mogador 1991 recording AGAIN

Do I have to make a whole other post talking about how incredible the French 1991 version AGAIN?? because I will

But in summary, I know obviously perfection is not the intention of art forms, but I really feel that this version nails it consistently across the board. First of all the mix is really REALLY good, so you don't have any wishy audios or loss of counter melodies like I find other versions tend to have. Also the actual score (music) in this version feels the most refined, with the most effective, driving use of elements like percussion, strings, dynamics etc. it just feels like they've really looked at the other versions and developed them. Like fucking hell just listen to the string part (particularly mirroring the bishop's theme) in the background of le suicide de javert and you'll hear their insane use of theme and variation. Mate it's sick.

On top of that all the vocal performances are absolutely stellar (just listen to fantine in j'avais rêvé her vowel placement is unmatched!!). And I really feel the acting performances come through even over audio. Especially jvj in 'Comment faire?', javert in 'le suicide de javert', and marius in 'seul devant ces tables vides'. I'm literally eating it.

(plus Enjolras' voice in à la volonté du peuple is really sexy)

Right there's my propaganda, big up 1991 théâtre Mogador recording

*to clarify, the concert and movie recordings are ONLY based on the recordings. No visuals.

#guys PLEASE #hear it out I promise it's brilliant #it has me consistently screaming crying throwing up #LES MIS FRENCH RECORDING #just look at my page I've got tonnes of posts about it #i could talk about this all day #les mis

nothing canon era fic writers could come up with will ever be as cruel as modern au fic writers putting these guys in the most basic modern scenarios. like he was born to live & die by the blade, his story was over before it began. and you made him take the bus and work a 9 to 5 job

#put the fucker who was executed by firing squad in the american public education system #<- prev THIS. THIS IS WHY MY CORPORATE HELLSCAPE AU FOR THE AMIS IS SO FUNNY #these guys were literally shot down by the gendarme after building a barricade in the streets and now they're arguing with the printer
