since it’s national coming out day how about some les amis coming out hc
enjolras came out as trans when he was 16, and though his parents weren’t 100% open minded, as he got older they began to accept him more. as a teen he used to hate them, but now he calls his mom every sunday
combeferre came out at bi at 16 too, and like enj his parents were a little confused but ultimately accepting
courf never had a choice to stay in the closet. “the sky is blue, water is wet. i like dudes” his flamboyance outed him a long time coming, but thankfully his parents welcomed him lovingly
grantaire wanted to come out when he was a teen but his parents, mostly his dad, are not the most accepting. he came out while at college just before he graduated. he doesn’t care that his parents are hateful though. his friends are all the family he needs.
jehan coming out as nonbinary to their parents was…complicated. they didn’t understand, and really they didn’t try to. jehan has a distant relationship with them, but like grantaire, being themselves with their friends is all they need
for feuilly growing up in various foster homes, he never had anyone to come out to. and for that reason, he’s always felt independent. he knew he was trans, he knew he was gay, and so he was.
bahorel came out loud and proud, with a dance routine. he’s dramatic like that.
bossuet coming out as bi was really successful, but he didn’t come out to his parents until he was 19
joly’s family was shocked to know he was queer and, like boss, also put it off. he actually didn’t come out until he introduced him as his boyfriend…awkward
musichetta came out after college via text, not caring about her distant family and not giving a shit.
eponine also, did not give a shit. she never came out to her parents, because she never talked to them at all. she sort of came out to azelma, but really she raised her and she knew her little sis would always love her
cosette struggled with her coming out. she knew valjean would always love her and was a gentle soul, but still. he was mysterious. when she told him she liked girls, he wept because of how brave she was. cosette also cried. their family is an emotional mess
and finally, marius. marius didn’t realize he was bi until well into his 20s, after her started hanging around les amis. so it wasn’t his family he had to come out to— it was them. he sat them all down, announcement style, and told them. there was much applause, many hugs, and a few tears. mostly from marius. he felt so happy to have a family that loved him so much and felt so accepted
Why does the fandom show Feuilly as like the sensible boring hardworking friend like fam. Everybody else had guns and stuff and he was marching around with a sword yelling about Poland
He’s not the responsible one
Enjolras is actually very good at chess but gets upset over sacrificing pawns for the sake of the king and goes off about how monarchy is wrong while obliterating Combeferre in under ten moves.
Combeferre: Are you moving your knight or not?
Enjolras: … I am. Checkmate.
Courfeyrac: THAT’S YOUR THIRD GAME IN TEN MINUTES, WTF.
Prouvaire’s the one who gets upset if sacrificing the horses and towers is necessary.
Courfeyrac: Come on, man, is not a real horse!
Prouvaire: HE IS TO ME!
Ends up winning the game anyway and saying “I’ve done those horses justice today, they shall never be forgotten…”
Feuilly: why are you guys like this
Feuilly and Courfeyrac and Bossuet are the only people who do not have strong opinions about chess.
Bahorel: As president of the Feuilly fanclub, I decree that today we are all going to go around in a circle and say something we admire about Feuilly . Our Vice President has requested to go first.
Enjolras: [clears throat and pulls out list]
