Grantaire gets a troath infection and cannot talk for a while, but this doesn't stop him from arguing with Enjolras, like he would give him this look and Enjolras would stop mid-rant to scream at him and tell him that "how can you even think something like that-" and Grantaire would tilt his head and blink and Enjolras's would groan and start talking even more fast until Grantaire just crosses his arms and raises one eyebrow and Enjolras just- throws his hands in the air and turns around groan about how insufferable Grantaire is being, everything under the amusement of all the amis, Ponine got it on video and Jean are fawning because it's so romantic that they can still understand each other like that-
Enjoltaire Head Canons
-grantaire is a comedian. he loves his job. however with being a comedian you kind of forget how to function with normal people, so for example saying things at mildly inappropriate times, & constantly saying dirty things at the “wrong time.” Not to mention offending A LOT of people. Enjolras likes to sit on his high horse & act like he’s love all of that (he’s not,) sometimes he giggles or just smirks & to r it makes it all worth it.
-R’s main news source is John Oliver & SNL’s weekend update (& Enjolras’ twitter feed.)
-Sometimes they’ll watch Comedy Specials together (E’s favorite is George Carlin.)
they could not keep their hands off of each other the entire night

dark academia study techniques
rewriting your notes, over and over and over again, not worrying about the neatness but paying close attention to each and every word
muttering every bit you know by heart under your breath as you walk down the streets
studying early in the morning, focusing on one sentence or chapter and pondering it through the day
researching things that you have questions about on your own, finding books on that subject and leafing through them
reciting your notes dramatically to your household companion or your stuffed animal
challenging yourself to think, speak, write and consume media only in your target language
eating certain snacks with different subjects and letting the smells trigger your memories
associating each subject to someone you know by sight only
romanticising bits that you have difficulty getting interested in
chanting your notes at night on a classical tune
honey, that is not what i would’ve been worried about
Every day my English teacher makes one person read an excerpt from a book of their choice. I was one of the first people to go and I read from red, white and royal blue. I had the guts to bring the book in person instead of reading the quote from my phone (like a normal person) and my teacher FREAKING RECOGNIZES THE BOOK COVER. So then of course I’m screaming on the inside because I was hoping no one would realize what I was reading from. When I finished she said she knew of several students who were reading the book and now I don’t know how to feel.
Tl;dr: took a gay book to school and my English teacher recognized it.

Les Mis Fun Fact
Ok so as you all probably know by now I am in love with the Jewish Grantaire hc. I would like to state the fact that a good portion of people who have played Grantaire on Broadway/tours/etc. are Jewish, including George Blagden (the guy who plays Grantaire in the movie).
Hi there, as a Jew (who LOVES Les Mis) I thought I should add in to this discussion. Regarding the statement that Grantaire being Jewish is harmful, in all honestly you’re over thinking it, trust me. Most of the time whenever I see things relating to Grantaire being ugly it is usually him calling himself that, which for me (& a lot others) is a common way of looking at myself. Because of Conventional European Standards of Beauty Jews are not seen as conventionally attractive, which shows its effects in me whenever I look in the mirror. I end up suffering from derealization & all I can see is everything I am told not to be. Also Grantaire’s numbness to social justice is another thing a lot of Jews suffer from, due to the fact that no matter which side of the political spectrum you go on either way people still hate us. On the far right its just n@z!s & on the far left its just a bunch of people blaming us for the Israeli & Palestinian conflict. Not to mention the fact that there has literally been almost no progress made in ending anti-Semitism it just ends up going back to how it was after a few years. A lot of us don’t really feel safe on either side because both of the radicals hate us. However even though we haven’t been getting much (sometimes if any) help with our fight for equality we are still going to help others. A lot of Grantaire’s struggles do reflect a lot of struggles a good amount of Jews have to go through has well. For me the hc of Grantaire being Jewish is very important to me. Considering the best representation we have (that I can think of off the top of my head) is Puckerman from Glee, oh god plz let us have Grantaire lol. Also regarding the nose thing, the more we normalize different noses the less likely a lot of Jews are to feel insecure about, but the making his nose cartoonishly abnormal is a lil problematic. However I do think we should normalize “uglier” traits outside of race/ethnic stereotypes, I just don't think it should start with Grantaire.
Jewish Grantaire really gets me. I say we should have ugly Grantaire!!! I'm an ugly person! I don't think that's a bad word, it's of my personal opinion we shod destigmatize it, not attach morals to it, but that's my own rant. BUT. Having the ugly canon character be fat and Jewish? Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?
GOD anon i have,,,,,, so many thinks and thots about “ugliness”??? I’m torn between LET CHARACTERS BE UGLY and THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS UGLY, ONLY NOT MEETING CONVENTIONAL STANDARDS OF EUROPEAN BEAUTY!! (Also, pop OFF abt that ugliness =/= morals rant, if you ever flesh it out send it MY WAY)
But until we can de-colonize the beauty industry, YEAH. UGLY RIGHTS. I’m ugly! It be like that! It’s not a bad thing! But It’s when we do things like equate ugliness to racial/ethnic/cultural stereotypes (for example, by equating characters described as ugly as Black, or Jewish, or any marginalized race/ethnicity) is when shit gets real harmful. Like you said, anon, “Why are you thinking of those traits as ugly?”
(Also, WOW, I have not taken the time to fully consider the harmful stereotypes of Jewish Grantaire. R’s thing with his nose, Fat R - not inherently ugly things in the slightest! great things to represent! But we have to ask ourselves why we don’t represent those things outside of the races/ethnicities they’re stereotypically linked with. )
I've always hc R as Jewish so that makes this 1000 times sadder & 100 times sweeter
Some angst specifically for @definitelygrantaire (you know why!)
Les Amis organize a blockade against a Neo Nazi march, protesters clash with the extremists and fighting breaks out. Couple of the Nazis try to target Enjolras, R intervenes but it all goes badly wrong when someone throws a smoke bomb into the middle of the crowd and armored police goes in…
(R might or might not be getting beaten up, but Enj is always on thin ice with the police, so Bossuet is trying to drag him tf out while Bahorel, Jehan, and Eponine rush to help Grantaire)
the fact that my friends would 110% do this 2 me XD
18?
“That’s not what I meant!”
“I can’t believe this.” Grantaire slumped back in his chair, his hand over his heart as if he’d just been stabbed. “My own best friends are calling my art bad.”
Joly rolled their eyes, not amused in the slightest by Grantaire’s theatrics. “Grantaire, all I said was that a poster depicting the President as a rotten tomato probably wouldn’t be an effective persuasive tool.”
Grantaire ignored his friend, continuing to wax poetic about the bitter sting of betrayal. “You know, you might as well just drive a stake right through my heart.”
“Dude.” Bossuet‘s voice was deadpan as he spoke. “How high are you right now?”
“I’m not high.” Grantaire protested, causing both Joly and Bossuet to raise an eyebrow. Seeing this, Grantaire repeated himself. “I’m not.”
Joly and Bossuet gave each other a look of exasperation. If there was anything they’d learned from their time in college, it was this: whenever someone repeatedly insists in a defensive tone of voice that they’re not high, there’s a 99 percent chance that person is higher than a fucking kite.
“Just saying, dude.” Bossuet held his hands up in a gesture that was almost reminiscent of surrender. “Last time you got high, you went on a forty-five minute rant on how you hated Italy because it was a dumb shape.”
“It is a dumb shape!” Grantaire protested. “It looks like a fucking boot! I mean, who authorized that shit?”
With a sigh, Joly turned back to Grantaire, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “Say antiestablishmentarianism and walk in a straight line.”
Grantaire opened his mouth as if to respond, but closed it when he realized that anything he said or did was probably not going to convince Joly and Bossuet of his sobriety. “I don’t like this game.”
R deserves so many cuddles. Like or reblog to give him a cuddle.
this gives me way more serotonin than it should...
Sweetie, come stai? I present you:
Enj with Bella Hadid's Cannes 2016 dress.
Just search it up. The color, the fit, everything.
R faints before being able to say anything.
Grantaire's so busy trying to recover from his brutal coughing - he chocked on his own spit, poor darling- that he doesn't notice Enjolras's smirk.
Eponine does though, and subtly gives him a thumb up while violently patting Grantaire's back with her other hand, everything under Marius's worried gaze.
"I think you're not helping him, 'Ponine", he says. But Grantaire has stopped coughing and he's upright again. He's as red as Enjolras's dress and almost chockes again when he looks at him, eyes glazed with tears. He turns on his heels and steals Marius's glass, "get yourself another one, I need to be drunk and away from here".
I-
Living together snippets:
That time Grantaire's brush got stuck and then broke into Enjolras's hair. Enjolras's curls got twisted so bad around it it took them hours to detangle.
"I'm afraid we'll have to cut them Jo"
"Grantaire, I swear, cut my hair and I'll cut your dick".
Enjoltaire things: playing footsie quickly becomes a kick fight under the table because they're two competitive little shits. Then they get kicked out of the restaurant.
