cosette and her glock

Enjolras

Alt under cut

[ID: a digital drawing of Valjean from Les Miserables. He is sitting mostly in the dark, at a table, staring emptily at a chicken wing. Handwritten text reads “last supper (a chicken wing).” End ID.]

“He might be your brother.”

“He is.”

To the sewers!

I feel like Victor Hugo would love this transition to the sewers setting

Jean Valjean catches Marius falling from having been shot. He points at an escape route and tells the audience he'll go via the sewerage. (Les Misérables peking opera, 2006)

The fact that I cannot understand Chinese at all, and this was one of the few terminologies I could read (since Japanese uses the same characters) made me accidentally laugh out loud.

It was a jumpscare of comprehension.

I will say, this is obviously my first experiencing watching a Peking Opera, so I'm just not used to the style of writing yet. I really love it though!! I can't believe this artistic, fun, acrobatic way of theatre was hidden away from me 😭😭

Top five misleading Les Misérables chapter titles

5. “Wherein will appear the name of Enjolras’ mistress” - the mistress was France, it’s always France

4. “In which they adore each other” - they can’t stand each other

3. “A Merry End to Mirth” - nothing merry about this chapter

2. “The Man Aroused” - zero boners, just moral conflict

1. “A Few Pages of History” - it’s never just a few pages

can’t have les mis in 2025 smh😔😔they made the thenardiers WOKE it’s no longer the thenardiers now the WOKEnardiers

Finally getting into les mis :)

one more thing about modern aus is that they'll go on about enjolras giving these long inspiring speeches for the majority of the vague meetings about the undefined cause which is so. in the books he is not on the stage preaching to everyone during most of the pre-barricade scenes. like its kind of made a point that he is either having actual conversations or just listening to what everyone else is saying. like yes he does give orders and instructions that he'll pre-face with a little speech but like. normally he's listening to others opinions before giving his own two cents. i think sometimes people just see the word leader and they can't imagine a version of that that isn't someone else forcing their thoughts and will onto a group of people.
