beeth0ven:

the les mis fandom is great because it’s so diverse.

you have the people who are making aesthetic mood boards and writing head canons for the Les Amis

you have the people who are really into the 2012 movie

and those who are into the play

aou have theater geeks, literature nerds, and history buffs fandoming in harmony

some people only care about shipping the les amis

while others are into javert ad valjean’s respective character arcs

you have people who spend hours analyzing the source text

and people who are writing gay fanfic 

there’s the “hugh jackman as valjean” clan

and the “colm wilkinson as valjean” group

there’s the fluent french speakers

the intellectuals

and the “i chugged an entire bottle of wine because i’m rping grantaire” people

everybody is there for a different reason, but we all get along and I think that’s great
