for the poets who follow me: don’t press yourself to write something with perfect rhyme or perfect metric, first because it’s not mandatory and second because the more you limit yourself, the harder it will be to improve your writing. keep your freedom, write whatever comes to mind, open your heart to the words. don’t be afraid of mistakes or absence of rhymes or if you don’t write like that famous poet everybody loves. don’t compare yourself with anyone, you are unique. and the format doesn’t matter that much, what matters most of all is the content and if poetry brings something good in your life. keep writing poetry.
(if you don’t write poetry, reblog anyway to motivate a poet friend)
Grantaire who gets a big dopey smile when he’s genuinely happy is my literal weakness.
Like, Jehan says something about how cute dark curly hair is with bright blue eyes and nudges R. And it takes a while for it to register and then there’s just this massive smile on R’s face.
Or Bahorel tackles him to the ground in a fight but they end up laughing because they’re both too ticklish for this shit and once they catch their breath, R’s smiling so broadly it hurts.
Or Joly and Bossuet plan a mini flash mob for R’s birthday and his smile takes a few seconds to get there but days to leave.
And the first time Enjolras said he loves him, he thinks R’s mocking him because he’s kind of smirking but it slowly grows into this gorgeous smile that R promptly buries in Enjolras’ neck.
Ugh.
Grantaire with this rare dopey smile that is literal perfection.
I really fancied drawing @deboracabral‘s version of Enjolras with his pointy ass nose, and I was also gonna draw her version of R too… but my version of R just demanded to come out and be sassy instead.
Oh no look at how pretty he is, I’m crying
Two can play at this game
Grantaire is like ‘oh shit there’s another one’
I see you… and I raise you… Grantaireception
“Can you believe them?”
–…Which one is your Jehan?
–I don’t know… I think they’re the one with bangs? Or I think I’ve seen them wear that T shirt before.
–I think they switched clothes.
–Oh god it’s like the Parent Trap.
“Idk just pick any”
–I think I’m seeing double.
–I don’t know how you’re supposed to see at all in these!!?
–What are you talking about? You’re blinder than I am!
“Both?” “Both is good”
–I think I hear someone coming!! Glitter bomb is armed and ready!!
–Well hurry up! We’re not as light as we think we are!
“I wonder what these sounds are” “I’m sure it’s not a glitter bomb being set”
