combeferre

 


Everyone has their own modern-day Les Amis dreamcast: meet mine!

Enjolras: Aaron Tveit
Combeferre: Richard Ayoade (IF I CONTRIBUTE NOTHING ELSE TO FANDOM I WANT TO CONTRIBUTE RICHARD AS COMBEFERRE HE IS PERFECT)
Jehan: Evanna Lynch
Feuilly: Ruth Negga
Courfeyrac: (the very, very adorable) Freema Agyeman
Bahorel: Gwendoline Christie
Bousset: Noel Clarke (anyone recollect his ‘let’s go liberate Paris’ line from Doctor Who?)
Joly: Hugh Skinner
Grantaire: George Blagden (can you believe, that was the ugliest picture I could find of him?)

friendly reminder that when combeferre was philosophizing about the dead, about the remorse of murder, about the necessity of it, joly was thinking of cats

I FOUND IT

“Combeferre, surrounded by students and artisans, was speaking of the dead, of Jean Prouvaire, of Bahorel, or Mabeuf, and even of Cabuc, and of Enjolras’ sad severity.

‘Our hearts quiver so, and human life is such a mystery that, even in the case of a civic murder, even in a murder for liberation, if there be such a thing, the remorse for having struck a man surpasses the joy of having served the human race.’

Joly,�?perceiving�?a cat prowling on a gutter, extracted philosophy from it. ‘What is the cat?’ he exclaimed.”

In Which Joly Is Basically The Internet

in their last moments, people show you who they really are.

#can I just cry #because they do okay #But Combeferre! #Killian didn’t get a whole lot of screen time but what there was was just painfully on point #and it was so heartbreaking here #he tries to barricade the door #he’s one of the last up the stairs #and then he holds on to Joly at the end like he can still protect him a little bit #and it’s so freaking upsetting #HE TAKES CARE OF THEM #HE’S THE GUIDE #(and Joly doesn’t even have a gun and he looks so tired and THE HAND ON THE SHOULDER)

Like most people, I want to make a graphic of modern-day Les Amis (race and genderswapped!) but I only have a few fancasts in my head. Wanna hear them? You probably do.

Enjolras: No idea, so I’ll probably stick with Aaron
Combeferre: Richard Ayoade
Courfeyrac: Freema Agyeman, because Courf has to be warm and friendly and fashionable, and Freema is all that, yay
Joly: Hugh Skinner, because of his permanently worried expression
Bosset: Noel Clarke
Feuilly: No idea. I want someone red-haired. (But not Karen Gillan! There’s too many Doctor Who alumni in here already, for a start)
Jehan: Even less of an idea
Bahorel: Gwendolyn Christie
Grantaire: George Blagden (yeah, it could hardly be anyone else at this point.)

Anyone got any comments or ideas? Tell me tell me tell me!

You know what bit of Les Mis fanart I’d really like to see, but no-one (as far as I know) has done yet?

Orestes Fasting And Pylades Drunk but with all the other Amis standing behind them, waiting to catch them in the afterlife. Combeferre with his hand on Enjolras’s shoulder- someone taking Grantaire’s other hand- Bahorel and Jehan being more transparent than the others because they died first-

I wish I could draw. I’d draw it.
