les miserables
i’m really emotional about grantaire and the fact that his single best quality was that he loved, and the most obvious love in him was pretty obviously queer, and that love drives him to be a very symbol of love.
like, how often do we get that? esp considering the fact that the musical has that axiom “to love another person is to see the face of god” and grantaire’s love isn’t treated as being any different or other from the rest of the loves in this story.
like, love fucking renders grantaire holy.
how often do we get to be holy?

Marius left his friends at the ball and returned home on foot, alone…
Wait, has no-one written a fanfic about what those three got up to once Marius left? CAN THEY PLEASE
Some little sprites made with my boyfriend’s copy of RPG Maker (meaning, I can’t take too much credit for them as all I did was put bits together.)
They’re all based on either the movie, the musical, Shoujo Cosette or either mine or fandom’s general perception of them. You are outright encouraged to give them Pokemon if you so wish.
