Getting to hell is easy, the rest is where it gets harder.

Some Montparnasse scenes from Gavroche (1962) by Le Théâtre de la Jeunesse

Not subtitled because I’m lazy. But I think it’s pretty easy to follow if you’ve read these scenes in the Brick. They’re more or less the same, as far as I can tell without actually checking. (Again, lazy. I just wanted to share these because this is such an excellent Montparnasse.)

Honestly the only thing I have an issue with here is that he steals from Gavroche, that just makes no sense to me whatsoever. But otherwise I have no complaints. xD

There’s more Montparnasse in this adaptation, but mostly the rest of the scenes are with the rest of Patron Minette. I might post one of those at some point too. There’s this amazing one where Marius actually follows Thénardier to PM’s hideout and eavesdrops on them like he’s suddenly a secret agent or something. It’s a completely unnecessary scene and I love it.

Romeo + Juliet (1996), dir. Baz Luhrman

i know it’s midnight but i just saw a production of rnj that was So Good just everything but for now i want to talk specifically about tybalt and mercutio:

- so the play was set somewhere in the middle between 1590 and 1990 and it was Great listen: mercutio had a snap back, skinny jeans, and a doublet, tybalt had khakis and a red button up and a Good Jacket and it was just?? wow the costumes were amazing

- “make it a word and a blow” mercutio blew a kiss ?? and tybalt Blushed ? confirmed ok i was in the 2nd row Trust Me.

- the build up to the fight. and then mercutio seeing the fight as a game, tybalt all riled up by that. the montagues were trying to stop mercutio and the capulets were egging tybalt on, the contrast was!! and the fight choreography!! wow!

- speaking of fight choreography. during one sword-cross mercutio actually, honest to god, kissed tybalt right on the mouth just gonna leave that there

- as mercutio is dying it really looks like a joke at first; like it could really be just a scratch. and tybalt saw that, started smiling because “haha well he’s just joking he’ll laugh in a minute and have been fine all along”

- but then, mercutio starts to lose his step, his confidence. and everyone sees it’s serious. and tybalt’s smile fell and i can’t describe how horrified he looked. it actually broke my heart. and tybalt fell to his knees and just Stared at mercutio dying, even while gregory tried to get him to run, he just wouldn’t move.

- and then mercutio was dead and Hell if it didn’t kill me too. the actor had this aura about him the whole play that made mercutio just feel untouchable. even when he was fighting he made it look like a game, like he just Couldn’t Get Hurt. and when in the end he does get hurt, for me it was just like reading the play for the first time. it was like a new death and it wrenched my heart and i fucking loved it

- tybalt still on his knees in shock and grief while romeo ran at him and grabbed him and started screaming at him oh my God. i know I’ve said about 18 things broke my heart already but this broke my Heart.

i just wanted to share this with you all im sure ill talk about this phenomenal show more but for now this is all my heart can take.

~Little Marius Pontmercy Things~

I’m laughing so hard because I wanted to see how badly they messed up Romeo and Juliet on the ‘easier to read’ setting on Sparknotes. this is one of Tybalt’s lines. This single sentence is literally the summary of Tybalt.

By now we’re up to our eye teeth in Romeo and Juliet reboots/reworkings/reinterpretations, but I just discovered Ron Wimberly’s comic Prince of Cats. It’s being rereleased this month, and takes on R&J from Tybalt’s perspective, and drops it into 1980s New York City. There’s a fun mix of Shakespearean language with 80s slang, and I love the dingy aesthetic with the color palette. Definitely worth checking out, especially for the Shakespeare fanatics out there.

I re coloured something I did a couple of years ago as a nice distraction ✨ (what are flowers tho)

Arm Joe

So there is a japanese fighting PC game based on les miserables……it’s called Arm Joe (based on the Japanese title of Les Mis, Aa Mujou). I’m finally getting around to playing it and oh my am I ready for an interesting evening

I’m ready 4 these schoolboys

Enjolras buried me underneath an entire fucking barricade and pretty mericlessly killed me immediately afterwards

who the fuck is this. is this like beserker mode javert

there’s also a robot valjean

This innocent who bears my face

Who goes to judgement in my place

Who am I?

great now i have to kill a fuckin rabbit

i actually got really far into the game but then marius absolutely fucking destroyed me

his big move is literally getting on top of you and head butting you until you die

he also summons the skeletons of his dead friends to help him

jean valjean dragged your dying ass through the sewers and THIS is how you repay him?????

Shooting The Barricade Battle [x]

I just really want a sitcom centered around Patron-Minette, in which they all share the same flat. Montparnasse takes all the hot water for himself in the morning, Claquesous’ face is always hidden behind a book, a plate, a mask, Gueulemer leaves his weights fucken everywhere and Babet just kind of randomly pops up every time he breaks out of jail

And there’s a laughing track every time the word “murder” is uttered

makeup look inspired by mercutio’s death scene

a plague o’ both your fucking houses
