Tag: Les mis

laissezferre:

It has been estimated that […] the civilized world, in every part of the globe, fires off daily one hundred and fifty useless cannon shots. At six francs per shot, that amounts to nine hundred thousand francs a day, or three hundred million a year, gone up in smoke. This is only one item. Meanwhile, the poor are dying of hunger.
-Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

“Flowers were only of use to him to hide the sword”

I love you! Oh say it with paving stones! Is a slogan from the 1968 Paris protests and this is suppose to be for the Les mis across history week but I’m a bit late.

Grantaire takes flirting advise from revolutionary graffiti and enjolras is just a bit confused.

Other than the slogan I’ve had an attempt at 60s French clothes – Google images suggest turtle necks were in. And enjolras is carrying pamphlets as well as wearing a scarf to protect his face should he need to.

I will do a better quality version on the image when I have access to a scanner

I posted this at like two in the morning and lots of my followers are british so I’m putting it in the q for today…

Also look I spelled all the words right

IRENY DREW COMBEFERRE AS ZHUGE LIANG AND I LITERALLY DIED, LITERALLY. I would reblog the post, only I never know what the protocol is for these situations because the notif goes all the way back to the OP and I don’t want to bother them with things so many degrees removed from— but what am I saying, IRENY DREW COMBEFERRE AS ZHUGE LIANG!!!

My favorite thing about this parallel aside from everything else about it is that both of them have such a weird relationship with violence. Like, you almost expect them to be pacifists, but then when they do get violent it’s all WHOA GET OUT THE GLOWSTICKS MASS MURDER RAVE. Kongming’s pyromania and Combeferre’s ballistics fetish will never stop being hilarious :’)

(I have a feeling that this must officially beat out manzai duo Joly and Bossuet as the most inaccessible joke I have ever made on this blog, and I’m sorry that you are probably staring at this post in apprehension right now— but there there, it’s all going to be okay, there will always be another post tomorrow. I draw what I want, Thor!)

seeing aus where enjolras and cosette are siblings on my dash always makes me smile because you just know there’s going to be that moment where enjolras finds out the girl marius keeps talking about is his sister and “you cannot date pontmercy!" 

to which I imagine cosette would respond with a raised eyebrow and a very dangerous "excuse me?” and he’d have to back track very very quickly

Starting to think someone on the Doctor Who writing team is a Les Miserables musical fan.
