okay seriously more than half of grantaire’s intro is actually about his alarmingly massive crush on enjolras, half of whose intro is about how he does not do relationships, so approximately how sorry for the poor man am i going to be feeling by the end of this book? please don’t answer that.

less danger of this than i expected rn tbh cos he’s not shut up for two a half solid pages

# this is such a fucking mood # me at the beginning of the amis section: oh R sweetie ilu let me give you a hug # me two pages into his four page rant: (hitting him with rolled up newspaper) # stop! talking! you! fucking! goblin! # before you read the brick you think e is a dickhead for how he talks to R but afterwards… # like okay e telling him he’s incapable of living breathing and dying is a little harsh # but good fucking grief i honestly cannot blame you buddy (via @little-smartass)

Three versions of the permets-tu/do you permit it scene (subtitled, or at least attempted to subtitle). I just wanted to make a comparison kind of thing.

First off, I’d like to repeat what I said in the video: if you haven’t checked these out yet, you should. All three adaptations are awesome and worth watching. I think the 1934 version and the 1958 should be pretty easy to find? But the 1972 one is rarer and seriously underrated so I’m gonna give you guys a link:

(Btw, if you need help with the site, message me? (Or a French speaker, if you know one. They’ll probably be just as good or better.) I’ll try to help. Probably. Unless you’re contacting me like years later when I’ve probably abandoned this blog.)

It’s kind of a weird adaptation because it tells the story mostly from Marius’ point of view. But that’s also kinda why I love it so much because it does something that the other ones don’t. It’s a good adaptation to sort of supplement other adaptations?

And now, onto my actual comments on these scenes. Remember these are just my opinions etc.

Out: Enjolras being a neglectful boyfriend; always missing dates, working late every night, never having time to talk or respond to Grantaire’s texts. Grantaire always comes second in his book, he’s always second best.

In: Enjolras being the most caring, nurturing boyfriend ever. Him coming to every art gallery ‘Taire has, even if it means taking time off work. Him not only showing up to dates but arranging them as well and always having time to talk to R if he’s having a rough day because Grantaire is the most important thing in his world.

Honestly I hate fics that portray Enjolras like this because that’s so not who he is- his personality is to completely throw himself into all of his passions and give 110% and that includes his relationship with Grantaire.
