🔥 courfeyrac

oilan:

Three people asked me for Courfeyrac, and man I’m not complaining.

Here’s one: fanon Courfeyrac is terrible. He is all glitter and colorful sunglasses and frivolity. People tend to forget that he is practical (Out of him, Enjolras, and Combeferre, I tend to think of him as the most practical, tbh) and generous. He does tease and makes up sometimes mean nicknames for people and taunts cannons and throws charters into fires, but he is also grounded and generous. He lends Marius money, no questions asked, he gives Marius his old green coat, he scolds him for staying out too late, he talks Marius through what he is going to do after he can no longer pay rent, he tells Grantaire to shut his face when he’s yelling out the window and groping Matelote.

Also despite his fandom reputation for sleeping around, as well as his canonical “collection” comment, I tend to think he’s pretty respectful. He’s like Tholomyes, but HONORABLE. He’s not going to seduce or trick his way into anyone’s bed, and I think women know not to take a fling with him too seriously, and he doesn’t hide his intentions behind lies or lead people on. I also tend to think, based on his personality, charming and romancing people is just as appealing, if not more so, as sleeping with them for him.
