an enjolras because i miss him

#les miserables #les mis #enjolras #never forget your roots... #now that im done with my orv reread i want to reread lm bc one long sad book wasnt enough #dear les mis friends who may or may not be reading these tags. have you heard of omniscient reader #do you want to read a long long novel that will make you a bit sad. #with a protagonist thats kind of an everyman but also kind of not. who is a bit over self-sacrificing #and has an adoptive daughter #have you read orv. will you read orv. when will you read orv #i'll stop proselytizing now. goodbye

So this is it, that's how it ends I guess there's nothing more romantic than dying with your friends

ah yes, the happy soft vibes for the @sillylovesongsfest, you get it... based on the assigned prompted song Till Forever Falls Apart by Ashe and FINNEAS, as well as this

for an even sadder and bloody version look under the cut <33

#enjolras most angelic angry boy furiously heartbroken about hwo things went down #combeferre prettiest man ive ever drawn still trying to protect his friends (covered in blood by the people hes tried to keep alive) #and then there is courfeyrac #nah he is still round and radiant like a centre i guess but he is just cute instead of pretty next to the other two #look this song so very much just screams them but i do have to admit that it is just a little too sad for valentines vibes #so i AM also making a prongsfoot one thats a little less sad because the song also is very them it just breaks my heart in the softest way #Silly Love Songs Fest #enjolras #combeferre #courfeyrac #les amis de l'abc #les mis #les mierables #les amis #les mis fanart #les mis art #barricade boys #mine #my art

The past few chapters of Les Miserables featured a history lesson on the sewers of Paris and the monetary value of shit

Nobody:

Victor Hugo after killing off many beloved characters in the name of the revolution and putting Valjean and Marius in a dangerous situation: Lemme get these sewer facts to the people real quick

#les mis letters #les mis #can't believe in between all of the friends of the ABC dying and Valjean rescuing Marius we get sewer facts #and weirdly detailed descriptions of the disgustingness #NOT what I expected my birthday chapter to be about but also not surprised really #les miserables #the brick

four ways to draw the same guy

#javert #les mis #les miserables #doodle #featuring my friend @paindemiserables' way of drawing This Guy #one of my favourite things about les mis is that you can draw the same character in so many different ways #and yet everyone kinda just. knows who they are at a glance #how tf is this guy recognisable with and without a ponytail? it's insane i love it (this is about both javert and enjolras) #also to close off this ramble this was inspired by a character in the game punch out who had a very brickvert-like face

I noticed a bunch of new people in the Les Mis tag because of @lesmisletters, so I thought I’d share my Les Mis Blog recommendation list! If you’re looking for Les Mis blogs to follow, here are some people I recommend checking out! : D

Because Les Mis Letters is a readalong of the Brick I’m going to keep my recommendations to “currently active Les Mis blogs who focus on posting primarily canon era Brick-related things, are participating in the readalong in Some way, and post a lot of meta or academic analysis or information about historical context/political context/artistic movements relevant to Les Mis.” if I were to include every Les mis blog I enjoy this post would be 200 miles long XD.

1. @pilferingapples is basically the pillar of the Les Mis fandom on tumblr! They’ve been here for a decade and have an extremely organized blog that basically feels like an archive of the entire fandom- including everything from meta on all the different characters, information about lesser known adaptations like the anime Shoujo Cosette, and discussions about the historical context around the novel/French Romanticism/Victor Hugo’s life. I definitely recommend looking through the tags in their pinned post ajdjdjd. They are also just Very Nice.

2. @everyonewasabird is a Brick-Club member who has already done exhaustive chapter by chapter analyses of the entire book, and writes amazing intensely researched fanfiction. They are also very nice! (Just assume everyone on this list is nice)

3. @fremedon also has tons of exhaustive analysis/meta, and also writes great funny intensely researched fanfic that captures Hugo’s writing voice extremely well.

4. @bobcatmoran posts a lot of great things, but i especially love their recent posts about the Arai Manga and its translations!

5. @vapaus-ystavyys-tasaarvo has been posting tons of great historical context/footnotes lately—- and they’re also the number one source of Les-Mis-related maps!! So many high quality maps

6. @psalm22-6 posts translations of old 19th century reviews of Les Mis, as well as vintage advertisements and other weird ephemera. It’s very fun and often deeply cursed stuff.

7. @thevagueambition also does a lot of historical research (especially into things like queer history) and writes really great intensely researched Grantaire fic!

8. @persefoneshalott does a lot of great translations of Spanish adaptations of Les Mis, and has recently been posting about what things were removed in censored editions of the novel.

9. @alicedrawslesmis is a great Les Mis art blog that also dives into jokes/analysis too!

10. @shitpostingfromthebarricade posts a lot of brick-focused stuff, and does a lot of clever clever and thoughtful modernizations (ex. Retelling an entire chapter with nearly the exact wording Hugo uses, but changing the setting/historical references to modern day ones)

11. @ueinra posts illustrations from old editions of Les Mis across the world and screenshots of/ information about obscure adaptations. :3

I might add more later because I know I’m missing people, but these are just the first currently active brick-focused somewhat research-heavy blogs that came to my head! :D

#Les mis #les mis letters #and I hope no one is insulted by the way I described their blogs ? 😂 #But YEEE there are so many more blogs I could add #like there are people whose stuff I love but #who don’t primarily post Les mis right now #including some of my fandom friends …. #anyway I recommend following Everyone but this is just my non exhaustive top-of-my-head list #obviously there’s also pureanon and byjuxtaposition #and badlesmisimagines #and etc etc #but yeah i spent too long on this XD

[jondrettegirls]

eponine wld listen to tswift and r wld be such a hater in such a man way and make fun of her and rlly thats his most dislikable trait beyond all of the other stuff

#his sbiggest ick. if u will #but yah shes j a girl but also she has. no friends . so shes like oh… and then she doesnt talk ab liking taylor swift and ppl assume that #assume that shes only into alt/indie stuff #anyway the goal for tn’s high is to j be silly and not be freakish 🤞🤞 #on my own. #les mis #grantaire #eponine

[scary-senpai]

omg Ishmael

Edit: I posted this to the wrong blog but there is no way I am doing all that alt text again

#whale weekly #Moby dick #Moby dick memes #my good friend Ishmael who fancies himself a whale phrenologist #uhhh I am silly and posted this to the wrong blog #but yes also I have a Moby dick side blog #I would be really surprised if there’s crossover? #but either anime fans + les mis fans intersected more than expected or I was more influential in my recommendations than I anticipated

[wheresurboytonighthelookslikeenj]

the les mis fandom lucked out so hard with the amis. they're such lovely boys that when you encounter a ship you don't ship on ao3 you read the damn fic anyways because they are lovely boys.

#les mis #les amis de l'abc #also we're decent people here i think #you could say they're all in a big polycule or that they're all aroace or both and everyone would be like yea!!!! #also something something it's not a priority here? like shipping? at least in my corner these days #because ultimately the amis are a group of friends and we love those friends! #what even are popular ships #enjoltaire #yeah ok #um #yeah that's the extent of my level of awareness on popular fandom ships these days #because in my circle in 2020 it was much more well defined yk? #exr courferre jbm feubaz jehanparnasse #but now ig i follow different people and the opinion's scattered now #which is a good thing! #and which is what the post is about! #frouvaire 5ever btw #frouvaire

[smolsassygay]

peeks in here shyly again

Also hi. Is there any Les Mis discord server that's cozy for Eposette shippers? I figured the ship was hated in the one I was in and since I'd like to talk about them and maybe post fanfic and all I'd like to not feel judged. Thank you <3 (or... If I started one would anyone be interested)

(or literally just dm me to talk about them anytime lmao)

#eposette #les mis #les miserables #the 'tisms are making me so obsessed it's not even funny #but I also don't wanna bother my friends about it so I'm simply standing here

[ofpd]

writing a modern au is actually harder bc you gotta come up w something for les amis to be doing. vague irrelevant social justice club isn't doing it for me

#making it essentially a gsa makes me vom sorry world ain't ready. #i guess it could just be a friend group but enjolras might explode #txt #i really shouldve anticipated my les mis hyperfixation and been more involved with organizing in high school as preparation #i mean i did found an lgbt-related club but that wasn't an activism thing at all it was me & a couple friends hanging out and talking #and again: they can't do queer activism or else i kill myself #not in anything i write at least #like it also just really doesn't work for this particular fic

[andthebeanstalk]

You're either in the Les Mis fandom for the revolutionary twinks or the repressed old men. I am here for the old men. And so

#image description in alt text #les mis #Combferre #Coufeyrac #les miserables #jean Valjean #javert #original #the third option is liking les mis for the waterloo chapter - in which case u r colm wilkinson #i am here for jean valjean and everything else is secondary #tho ofc i am very happy that people like the friends of the ABC. i also love them. i just have trouble recalling who is who. #i read this book half a lifetime ago and idk if i will ever be able to read it again. but still i know bahorel is the big fighter #and feuilly makes fans and jollllly is a hypochondriac and i still remember everything about enjy and R bc i was feral for them at age 15 #i still love them but now in my old age (28) i long mainly for dilfs #give me a buff white-haired daddy with a big heart and bigger tits. he can kiss the dumbass cop as long as the dumbass stops being a cop #fics where javert remains in the police are a little confusing to me #vicky hugs had no idea the staying power these 12 or so twinks would have i love that for him #edit: to everyone responding to this with an explanation of who combeferre and coufeyrac are #- I love you and I appreciate you and no matter how hard I try I cannot hold on to that info longer than 7 minutes at a time

I’m like a week late but I’ve been on this site for 5 years now… wild to think about

I’m 260 pages in and we still haven’t moved 😭 #anyway thank you tumblr for introducing me to my better half and giving me a partner in crime from an ocean away
