i’m SURE the only reason enjolras wasn’t wearing a red jacket in that promo shot was because grantaire already fell asleep and enjolras wanted to be nice so he draped his jacket over him like a blanket
hello mr davies I have heard about your tv show and I have a question for you. Have you ever heard the song “waterloo” by abba. It absolutely slams I think we both know what you have to do here. also please refer to the enclosed image when ur thinking about giving enjolras a sex scene
The Cool Section of the Les Mis Fandom: All I want in BBC’s Les Mis is an adaptation that finally (finally!) gives Les Amis the screentime they deserve! “I believe in you!!” And “To be free!” and “WILL YOU peRMIT IT!” The wonderful iconic Les Amis moments!! All the characterizations!!!
Me (not cool, literal opposite of cool): bbc,,,,….all I want is the Brick’s Best Scene Ever….
.u kno, the one that never makes it into adaptations….the post-barricades “Valjean and Javert Reluctantly Agree to Work Together to Bring the Wounded Marius Home, and Have the Most Awkward Road Trip of All Time on the Way There” scene..,,. pls….. bbc,,,,..my dude…..I’ll give you my firstborn child…..
me, groveling on the floor: bbc…. pls…. make my dreams come true…give us the scene where marius sniffs the handkerchief for months thinking it’s cosette’s but it’s not it’s valjean’s….pls bbc i will give you my soul
me, sobbing : bbc, please… Fauchelevent helping Valjean getting out of the convent in order to get in again by locking him up in a coffin… And Fauchelevent panicking because it’s not really going as planned… pls… it’s funny…. and cool…….,,,
Victor Hugo, rising from his grave : bbc … THE SEWERS
bbc les mis better have that enjolras-gavroche exchange where gavroche tells enjolras to give him a gun and enjolras, being a responsible human being, doesn’t let this small child have a gun, so gavroche gets angry and yells “smooth-face!” at enjolras as an insult. smooth-face. what kind of insult is that. enjolras is so ethereal that people are physically unable to properly insult him
no no no no no it’s so much better than that
smooth face was a derogatory descriptor meant to compare a man (aka someone who should have beard stubble) to a woman or young boy (someone who would not have stubble) so the implication would be they were weak due to lack of manliness
in other words, Gavroche is calling Enjolras a “lil bitch”
what makes it even better though is that enjolras doesn’t even try and deny it or something, he just yells “gamin” back at gavroche and they both storm off
I’ve figured out how BBC is going to add more sex to Les Mis: Victor Hugo Himself will be a character. Victor “I had so much sex on my wedding night that my wife got mad at me” Hugo. Victor “historians argue about how many partners I had” Hugo. Victor “when I died all the prostitutes in the city wore black over their crotches to mourn their favourite client” Hugo. Victor “random acts of nudity” Hugo. It’s not going to be any of the other characters at all, it’s just going to be … Hugo … himself …
they’re going to include his monologue but also borrowing the “sexposition” trope, so we’ll see him fucking random people while talking to them (and the audience) about the Paris sewers.
Depending on the scene, it shifts between a Younger Hugo making out with Juliette or Leonie or ???, and full-bearded Exile Hugo snogging So Many Random Passerby
bbc les mis is destined to ruin grantaire’s character because they only have 6 episodes and including just one of grantaire’s monologues would take at least 20 minutes and they just don’t have that sort of time to burn
