In other news, did you know that the correct collective noun for this situation is “an inflexibility of Enjolrati”? Other useful collective nouns: an indignation of Feuillys, a medievalism of Jehans, a chlamydia of Courfeyracs.
i feel like maybe the fact that the actors who played grantaire and enjolras on broadway literally got married yesterday and had cute little enjolras and grantaire cake toppings shoULD BE A BIGGER DEAL IN THE FANDOM?? JUST A THOUGHT.
Done for an assignment. We had to make a Google doodle on anything we wanted. I chose Les Miserables because it’s been a big part of my life and turns out this year is the 30th anniversary of the play.
When I look at you, I remember Eponine. She was more than you deserved. But now she is with God, and happier I hope than here on Earth.- Marius
In the Complete Symphonic Recording, there was a lyric in “The Wedding” where Marius mentioned Eponine that is no longer performed in productions. It sums up her character perfectly, was the only mention of Eponine after her death, and, in my opinion, should’ve been kept in the show.
Someone please tell my id that it doesn’t need me to write a thousand-page parody of Victor Hugo’s Star Wars, no matter how “awesome” or “fun” it may sound at first
oh my god please, please do

UN ESPOIR NOUVEL
Book the First: A Solitary Man
I. Ben Kenobi
In Year 20 of the Empire (Year 10,191 since the forming of the Coruscant Convention), Ben Kenobi was a hermit living beyond the Dune Sea. He was an old man of about fifty-nine years of age; he had occupied his tiny desert hovel since Year 0.
Although it has little direct impact on the story we are about to relate, it nevertheless behooves the author to reveal, if only for the sake of completeness and exactness, the various rumors that circulated the person of “Old Ben” Kenobi. True or false, that which is said of men often occupies as important a place in their lives, and above all in their destinies, as that which they do. Very little was known about Ben Kenobi, in honest truth; it was widely known that he was an offworlder, and a recent newcomer to the barrel soil of Tatooine; it was less-widely known, though no secret, for Kenobi himself would say as much to those who asked, that he was from the planet Stewjon, in the Daly System. How he had come to reside on Tatooine was the source of much speculation.
Once one entered the realm of rumor, however, the accounts varied widely: he was a wizard, some said, or a crazy old man parched by the lack of company. He was alternately a scholar, a monk, a widower, or a scarred veteran of the Clone Wars, come to find what peace was left to him; the fruit-seller at the edge of Mos Eisley, where he came once a month to replenish his stores, claimed he was the last Jedi Knight, fled to the Outer Rim to hide from the depredations of the Empire. In spite of this wide-ranging gossip, or perhaps because of it, Ben Kenobi cut a dashing, mysterious figure to the starved minds of the out-flung desert settlements in which his name was known. He was well-formed, and although shorter than human standard, was still taller than many of the specimens to be found in Tatooine’s slums. He was well-spoken, conscientious, graceful, and learned; he spoke of distant worlds with the familiarity of a spacer and the precision of a Hutt.
as soon as i saw “Although it has little direct impact on the story we are about to relate” i knew this was a solid parody
more of this sort of thing
omg, victor hugo WOULD think well of obi-wan kenobi
