#TheCandlesticksFromLesMis

The day embraces the night and says to it: 'I am going to die with you, and you will be born again with me.'

Brothers, whoever dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we will enter a grave all flooded with the dawn.

since it's almost barricades days and i've seen new people joining our fandom, i would like to list u all some very nice adaptations i really like that u can watch (and that are better alternatives than the bbc adaptation) (and i included links!!!!!):

what to watch ?

- i feel like this is a classic, but the 2012 movie adaptation by tom hopper, obviously. while it's not the best adaptation, it is still really good (also i feel like it made a lot of us join the fandom in the first place)

- also pretty obvious but the west end musical by claude-michel schönberg and alain boublil (i'm pretty sure u can find decent bootleg on yt) + honorable mention for the 25th anniversary concert but i feel like u need to know a bit about the musical before seeing the concert

- a personal favourite, the 1982 french movie by robert hossein, it is three hours long tho, but it's worth it; the adaptation is really good, especially the portrayal of Les Amis (here's the yt link to the whole movie)

- shojo Cosette is also pretty decent, tho i've only watched the episodes with Les Amis (the barricades are heartbreaking just like we love)

- it's really obscure but the silent short film l'enfant sur la barricade (the child on the barricade) by Alice Guy. the sources diverge from whether it's an adaptation of les mis or an adaptation of a poem hugo wrote called "sur une barricade" and taking place during the commune of paris but the character could be inspired by gavroche

- Les Amis webserie, that u can find on yt, or here :

it's a web serie made by fans for fans and it's amazing

- All That's Left Of Us, another web serie made by and for fans. it's beautiful and absolutely heartbreaking. u can find it on youtube or here:

and on the overall anything that eli southern does about les mis is pretty amazing so i encourage u all to go check @thecandlesticksfromlesmis

(although i feel like u need to know a bit about the fandom before jumping right into the webseries)

- and obviously, The Brick, the original masterpiece that is Les Miserables by victor hugo; if u have the courage i promise that it's worth it

annnnd that's all ! at least for my favourite one, but there are a looooot of different adaptations for every taste i guess ! anyway have fun and take care of y'all during barricades days !

#here you go ! #i promise u it's worth it #les mis #les miserables #les amis de l'abc #the brick #victor hugo #bbc les mis #shojo cosette #all that's left of us #les mis 2012 #les mis musical #sorry i couldn't find more links to every thing #but i tried including the more “obscure” one #i'm slowly turning this blog into a les mis guide 101

unearthed a drawing I did of @thecandlesticksfromlesmis's modern au enjolras circa early 2022. god what I'd give to be able to draw like this again.

#“ash why do you never post new art” #because my new art is. um. Not So Good #finally admitted to myself that I Hate Digital #which is a massive sunk cost for many reasons #and am just now getting back into traditional sketching #which means I have to relearn a lot from scratch #plus life has been insanely busy and stressful #so no time or energy to Create Things rlly #enjolras #les mis #les miserables #pigeon.img #les mis fanart #sketch

Hey! It's coming up fast, but please consider checking out @barricadescon 2023!!! This year's virtual con will be 14-16 July and features both academic and fandom tracks!

I personally am part of two panels this year:

featuring the fabulous @thepiecesofcait and @thecandlesticksfromlesmis wherein we discuss our processes for characterizing the Amis in our respective mediums (writing, art, and film), and

with @eldritchw1tch and @grantairelibere , a social event where we read Preliminary Gayeties, eat, and drink along with the characters.

Even if these events don't speak to you, I strongly recommend checking out the con's events page to see if anything piques your interest! It's only $10, the money goes toward a good cause, and there are many scholarships available to anyone who wants to attend but can't afford to!

#barricades con #jean valcon #les mis fandom event #les mis #les mis fandom #if you remember me saying I was going to present on 1817: no you don't #(no I was but my job has been so insanely hectic the past six months that I have barely had time for recovery on weekends) #(much less has the bandwidth to collect all of the sources to support everything I know about The Year 1817) #*have #(and find info on the things I didn't totally get) #but this was so much fun last year! I highly recommend it!!! #also if you have time I understand that they are looking for volunteers for this year and future years

dear thecandlesticksfromlesmis,

this year I have decided to read one chapter a day of les miserables, 365 chapters with one day left over just in case, and the candlesticks have by now made their appearance. I am having an excellent time with the brick, which is, in its own way, following a dream.

I had the unimaginable delight of partnering with @shitpostingfromthebarricade and @thecandlesticksfromlesmis for @thebanguette this year and am so extremely hyped to share the sum of our efforts!

You can read the (phenomenal) fic here and watch the (incredible) short film here.

This project was something so far outside of anything I’ve ever attempted before and it’s just been an utter joy to work with such a spectacular crew. I hope y’all enjoy it!

#Is this? #The greatest thing I’ve ever been a part of? #Highly likely #But seriously I got to watch this film in its entirety a couple of hours ago and I Have Not Recovered #it’s SO GOOD #I will not be chill about this #Barricade Day #Les Miserables #Les Mis #Modern AU #Enjolras #Collab #TheCandlesticksFromLesMis #ShitpostingFromTheBarricade

😬

I know I asked for it, but getting cringeface emoji in my inbox with no other text is hilarious to me.

Since I’m watching Downton Abbey: I cringe very hard at Julian Fellowes trying to convince us that Bates is super caring and romantic rather than being a violent and emotionally manipulative person. A couple seasons ago Anna was so frightened that Bates would murder the asshole that assaulted her that she kept it all a secret. She can’t even confide in her own husband about the worst thing that has ever happened to her. And now in season 6, Bates is making little comments about “I thought you were done with keeping secrets” re: her pregnancy. Meanwhile he refuses to tell anyone anything. Fuck off.
