  • Threatening to fight Victor Hugo’s ghost (usu. over Les Amis’s first names)
  • LES AMIS AS *insert something bizarre like garden gnomes*

  • AND I’M JAVERT 
  • That Les Miserables/Bee Movie crossover fanfic called Les Beeserables starring Barry B. Jolras

Modern Les Mis AU where Barricade Day marks the day that Les Amis were banned from Ikea because they kept building forts that blocked the walkway and destroyed some of the furniture

Barricade Day thought #3

There are only two types of Les Mis productions: Jaw Valjaw and John Valjohn.

Enjolras is a gay man. He’s gay. Okay??? He’s fucking gay. Victor Hugo did not spend hours writing gay metaphors and relating Enjolras to gay people in history/literature for Enjolras to be seen as anything but homosexual

Turn of the 19th-20th century postcard of St-Merry, site of Charles Jeanne’s barricade. This is the location of the tocsin that rang through the events of 5-6 June 1832 and gave heart to the republicans at the rue de la Chanvrerie.

Just this moment posted the modern version of this - I think the middle image is almost the same view…

„Meanwhile, in a few minutes, twenty iron bars had been wrested from the grated front of the wineshop, twenty yards of pavement had been torn up; as it went by, Gavroche and Bahorel had seized and tipped the dray of a lime merchant named Anceau; this dray contained three barrels full of lime, which they placed under the piles of paving stones; Enjolras had opened the trapdoor of the cellar, and all the widow Hucheloup’s empty casks had gone to flank the lime barrels; Feuilly, […], had buttressed the barrels and the dray with two massive heaps of rubble: stuff improvised like the rest of it, taken from anywhere. Some shoring beams had been pulled down from the front of a neighboring house and laid across the casks. When Bossuet and Courfeyrac looked back, half the street was already barred by a rampant higher than a man. There is nothing like the hand of the people to build whatever can be built by demolishing.

Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
