A little late for barricade day as I've been away, but thought it was fitting that I spotted this in the airport today

Le Gavroche

This restaurant named after our favourite fictional street urchin also had a painting of Gavroche behind the bar, esitmated to sell for £10,000 to £15,000!!

I can't find seem to find anything more about the painting itself, to try and find out how old it is or who it's by or why it's worth that much, although I'm sure I've seen a photo of it before. Who could forget him striking a pose like that!

2. Favourite book?

to no one’s surprise, Les Miserables

3. Top 3 favourite characters?

From Les Mis? of all time? either one is hard, but currently I’m a big fan of Benji Ovich (Beartown), Britomart (The Faerie Queene) and the fictionalised version of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, as he appears in Hugo’s Cromwell.

Pasta bake/lasagna

Screensaver is a black canvas with fluorecent flowers Where do you see yourself in 10 years: why would you ask such questions?? that thought is scary okay? hopefully I have started working, uni is over, I like my job and I somehow managed to get my sport included into the professional picture somehow? If you could be anywhere else right now, where: travel for sure... maybe Paris? What was your coolest Halloween costume?: in theory or in actually done? in theory: the fallen angel with broken off wings and cracked face. but the costume I did for my last week of school was pretty damn good. little girl with pigtails, blood all over, every detail down. from the throat cut down to the bloody plush bunny with missing eyes. That was a fun costume. What’s your favourite 90s show: uff... I think the one that impressed me the most back then was Buffy (I was TINY but my parents didn’t mind. Of course they only told me that much later. That they’d known all along how I’ve been sneaking off to watch the show, I would normally not be allowed to watch for another 7 years...) Last kiss: yesterday Have you ever been stood up: no, but to be fair. I’ve rarely even dated. Have you ever been to Vegas: no Favourite pair of shoes: comfy sneakers Favourite fruit: who even knows?! I pretty much love all fruits Stupidest thing you’ve ever done: dude, ain’t nobody got time for that, believe me! But that said: I was a pretty stubborn child and even when I KNEW that I was in the wrong I wouldn’t want to back down, when fighting with my parents. Favourite book: all time favourite is “Das Buch der Namen” by Jill Gregory and Karen Tintori (The book of names) Favourite gif: you, you cannot make me choose just one gif! that’s not possible! There are sooo many good ones and eh... (and actually I’m not able to get to my gif folder on my computer so take this excuse please ♥) Thanks for the tag truffles, now it’s my turn!

Barricade Day 2022

Isn’t love something humans are suppose to make?

An enjoltaire barricade day fic featuring the Grantaire pretending to help and just playing dominos instead scene, be serious I am wild, and dying holding hands because I have no self preservation. Happy dead revolutionaries day mis fandom!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/39436500

Grantaire tries to prove to Enjolras how much he wants him by trying to help with a revolution he only halfheartedly believes in. With so little time left, for any of them, Enjolras becomes more inclined to believe Grantaire, and snatch a little happiness from the misery while he still can.

Lotr tattoo

From the passage in the book when Sam realises Frodo isn’t dead and berates himself for not listening to his heart and believing that Frodo was alive sooner. A truly underrated moment.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for... Results!

Hello, poets!

After reading and re-reading your poems, checking and re-checking their grades, the jury has finally come up with a podium for this year’s Les Mis Poetry Contest!

First of all, let’s name those who have been behind the contest this year:

@aflamethatneverdies, @redthepear and @pilferingapples

We have graded the poems out of 5 based on the following criteria:

Musicality and formal beauty

Personal enjoyment

Originality

Pertinence to the theme and use of the words listed

And we are proud to announce the winners! There were a lot of close grades, and the top two were extremely close

First place goes to @seethenewdaydawn for their poem “Growth”

Second place goes to @printfogey for their poem “Mabeuf”

Third place goes to @courfee for their poem “Vivent les Peuples”

Congratulations to you and also to all of you lovely poets for your submissions! 

Curtain call for this year’s Jehans: @rosestormclare @icarusthepuck @themedusacascade @writingrevolutionary @classy-sassy-enjolrassy @eposettemyass @obi-wan-kxnxbi, you were all amazing and thank you so, so much for your participation!

Now for remarks concerning the submissions as a whole: 

Redthepear:

First of all, I want to thank you all for joining me in this fangirl and poet wannabe project (this goes for the poets, my fellow jury members/ organizers and all those who have supported the project and spread the word!)

This year had seen 10 poems submitted, it’s a wonderfully round number but also wonderful news to this fandom that has so many poets and writers in its midst. The poems were all very different, ranging from free unrhymed verse to more restricted, traditional forms such as sonnets. Adding the challenge of words to add in the poem was in my opinion a good thing: that way we could see how you all treated them. However, the choice we gave of using them or not made it more complicated in the judging process, so we will have to think about it!

The themes in the poems were more varied than during the first edition of the contest, going from our classic Orestes Fasting and Pylades Drunk to poems about Cosette or Mabeuf. The Brick is such a rich story, and this year, many, if not all, of its faces were covered. I also have a lot of respect for the poets who decided to tackle several aspects of it at once, it was a hard task and you managed it honorably. 

Even if I am no literary critic, I would advise all of you to keep writing! There were some slightly awkward things in your works but also some lines that have made me quiver from their force and beauty. You are most welcome to participate in the future editions of the contest! 

Pilferingapples: Like Red, I really appreciated the poems that tried to handle multiple aspects of the book at once. It’s hard to cover even part of the storyline in Les Mis (as many adaptations have discovered), but if anything can do it, it’s poetry!   I’m also really impressed with how much the poetry this year covered the varied moods of the story. Everyone tried to bring together the despair and horror with the hope and love and defiance,  and it made for really affecting work.  Though that did make it really hard to judge! Thank you everyone who entered! I hope you’ll make more poetry–it’s been a treat to see.  (and extra thanks to @redthepear , for putting this contest together again!)

Aflamethatneverdies: 

I’d like to mention that everyone did a really great job. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and judging the poems.

There were lots of different styles this year, from the sonnet to free verse and I enjoyed seeing how the poets played with the language. Overall, I liked how everyone interpreted the words and the themes. There were quite a few poems with original takes on the theme, such as ones about Cosette, Mabeuf, Gavroche, poems which involved several characters and poems that took one metaphor and applied it to different characters. There were many places in the poems where I really liked the turn of phrase or how the metaphor was employed.  I would like to see poets keep trying new things and experimenting with the style and forms.

Thank you everyone for being a part of this, hope to see you all in future contests. It has truly been a pleasure being involved and I would also like to thank my fellow jury members and everyone who spread the word out for the contest, a special thanks to @redthepear for hosting it again this year and for doing much of the legwork for organizing it. Last but not least, to all the participants and future poets, keep reading and creating poetry and I wish you all the best in this wonderful journey.   

If any of you want more individual feedback, your grade(s) and the like, please send us an ask and we’ll do our best to send them to you!
