today I offer you tiny Enjolras, tomorrow, who knows?
(also for the translation: « les capitalistes à la lanterne! » or “capitalists to the lamp post!” uses the french revolutionary expression “to the lampost”, basically calling for ppl to be hanged… If you’re at all familiar with french revolution songs it’s most famous in a line from le Ça Ira, «les aristocrates à la lanterne »… so, the more you know!)

Enjolras follows this blog about social justice that writes incredibly long, detailed, well-researched essays about the state of things, the history of political social rights movements, and well thought out and practical hands-on ideas for enacting change and he reads this blog every day, recommends it to everyone he knows, makes it required reading for the amis, and bases some of his community outreach ideas on what this blog suggests
it’s grantaire’s blog. he writes it when he’s sober but then gets so drunk he forgets to bring it up at meetings.

I know Grantaire calling Enjolras "Apollo" is a fandom thing but I can't stop thinking about modern AU trans Enjolras, who hasn't decided on a new first name yet, panicking when asked and he just says "Apollo" without thinking. Grantaire is just so stunned and flattered that Enjolras named himself after something that he said.

Valjean and javert texting headcanons. If you get the references then you get them, if you dont, you dont. Take this as you will.
valjean:
i love valjean with all my heart but this man cannot text. He plays with all the functions like how a curious toddler would do building blocks.
So many emojis. He will write a sentence and substitute ANY word with its emoji equivalent. (Ex.) ”✅ 🤩morning 🌞cosette🥰!!!!! I 👀 made 🫵 ☕️🥚🍳🥞🥣🧇!!!!! come 🔽 and 😋 i 😻❤️ you
-love, papa”
Oh yeah he also signs off all his texts. Like a letter
-he sometimes accidentally sends voice messages???? Like im certain he’s accidentally sent atleast full 3 minutes of lawmowing noises.
-it’s obvious when hes learned a new slang word. Very obvious.
-both him and javert take the most horrendous and unflattering selfies. Intentional or not. Valjean once sent a photo with the caption “look at the size of that plane!!!!!!!!!” using the frontfacing camera.
Javert:
Worse than valjean. No idea how to text. Let alone work a phone. he sometimes mistakes it for google; leading to notifications like this:
javert now Missed Call (11) slide to call
javert 3m ago
is bukkake a restaurant
-He has a major problem with text to speech. He will spend a concerning amount of time repeating the same word that his poor phone cant seem to get right, all the while muttering how much he ‘hates this thing’. And afterwards he doesnt even bother to delete the damn chunk of text. Not like he knows how.
-sometimes sends extremely vague messsges, like an ominous “come” when hes beckoning someone over.
-he drops his phone. A lot. Many random keysmashes will ensue.
with all that aside, picture how itll read when they text eachother.

I would have new art rn but i can't draw digitally because my mom is on the pc so. Have some of my personal Les Misérables headcanons!
Well it's more like just Javert and Valjean headcanons... But you know... Same thing.
You can find them under the cut!
Les mis: Javert and Valjean headcanons
- After the confrontation; Javert has small wounds from the chain Valjean used to keep him in a chokehold. These wounds scarred over. When a different officer noticed it, he never went anywhere without a cravat ever again. He grows to be quite self-consious of the slight scarring, he sees it as a mark of failure.
- Jean Valjean has scars on his back, wrists and ankles from his time in Toulon. When he became mayor he had to cover these marks up and developed the nervous habit of checking and fidgeting with the cuffs of his shirt or jacket. He especially does this during meetings with Javert, altough unconsiously.
- Javert always found the mayor a weird fellow, but secretly enjoyed his upbeat personality.
- After Valjean learned of Javerts death, he made a small grave for him. It's empty of course, but he brings flowers and sits next to it from time to time.

Everyone always gives Javert shit for spending half his life chasing a bread theif but like
In most versions of Les Mis when he's telling Madeleine to fire him he divulges some pretty personal info because he finally trusts and respects him completely.
Like the language used in the brick paints it as him literally baring his soul to Valjean
And then immediately after that finds out that not only was he right, but now there's a person alive that knows things about him
Like, if I trusted someone enough to tell them basically my entire outlook on life and what all my personal values are, and then it turned out everything they'd ever said had been a lie
And then they escaped prison and were just out there in the world with personal information about me, I'd want to shut him up.
All I'm saying is, Javert's just doing what everyone wishes they could do in this situation.

headcanon that Modern!Enjolras doesn't know how to smile for pictures so he just... doesn't, all the pictures the amis have with him just have him giving the camera the most blank, soulless, unexpressive stare in the world, and when he ends up actually smiling you can read the discomfort all over his face. I don't think he doesn't smile normally or anything, I just think the second you point a camera towards him he just immediately forgets how to.

random out of context details from my very long les mis modern au
- Grantaire can make himself sneeze (I really doubt this is actually possible in real life but who cares? not me) and Enjolras is very impressed by this. Enjolras has a kitten sneeze
- in fourth grade Jehan briefly developed a crush on Feuilly because Feuilly convinced him to start flossing regularly and Feuilly is good at gardening and taking care of plants
- (in middle school) in debate club Éponine and Montparnasse debated alligators vs crocodiles
- Combeferre has a bunch of commercial jingles memorized from all the TV he and his family watch, and if he hears part of a jingle he’ll sing all the jingles he knows under his breath
- Marius eats hot sauce with his eggs every single time he eats eggs
- Valjean and Cosette come up with the meal of French Italian fusion chicken soup
- Valentine’s Day (which is also Bossuet’s birthday) fifth grade, Musichetta gave Bossuet a blue raspberry fun dip (that means business) and when he tried to share it with Joly they spilled it all over the carpet
- Courfeyrac calls everyone bro, he calls his dog bro, he calls his parents bro, he calls his teachers bro (but Jehan doesn’t want to be called bro so Courfeyrac calls him captain, Jehan loves this)
- Bahorel really loves rap and musicals, then when Hamilton came out it was his new favorite thing
- in third grade on field day Musichetta, Joly, and Bossuet did the three-legged race together (four-legged race I guess lol, well that makes it sound like a normal race, but it’s four legs between three people lmao)

i picked up a pencil after a year because i need you to visualize this enjolras headcanon i have
it ties into my argentinian!grantaire hc (or, Rgento, if you will). so! enjolras never found coffee to be an effective stimulant, caffeine never did much for him, but then came grantaire, who introduced them all to the wonder that is el mate (a bitter, hot drink made from plant, a bit like tea, except not really, that also happens to be a great stimulant). some took to it, some didn't, it's a bit of an acquired taste, but enjolras? enjolras latched onto it like a lifeline because not only is it a stimulant thanks to its caffeine-like component, but the actual act of drinking it keeps him sufficiently entertained while studying and working, so now he's never seen without his mate kit

Often in fanfics I see Combeferre and/or Courfeyrac as Enjolras' childhood friends, and don't get me wrong, I can see why! It is good and fun and I love them like this! But I think we need more Enjolras And Jehan as childhood friends.
They both came from rich families, right? It is totally possible that they could have run in a lot of the same social circles. I think at fancy dinner parties they gravitated to each other as the only other person in the room who was palatable.
