I feel like Enjolras is one of those people who understands the joke 5 minutes after everyone else and at meetings it’s just completely normal to suddenly hear an ‘oooooh’ coming from enjolras when he finally understands
is is so important to me that OFaPD wasn’t about Grantaire buying in to the revolutionary mindset or converting to republicanism or any real transformation in his beliefs. It was about him embracing his own beliefs and standing up for what was important to him.
Enjolras didn’t respect him for converting to Enjolras’ way of thinking, he respected him for committing as strongly to his own convictions as Enjolras did his. He saw the value in Grantaire’s values.
OFaPD was as much about Grantaire converting Enjolras as Enjolras converting Grantaire and that’s pretty integral to my understanding of the Brick as a whole
Feuilly: I like orange and I do quite enjoy fighting for freedom and acceptance
Valjean: I love cooler colors, according to Cosette. I’m still not entirely sure what that means. And what I enjoy most about the revolution is helping to ensure that everyone gets a fair shot at life.
Babet: Not to be too predictable, but black. And I’m not joining a revolution, I have much better things to do with my life.
Bahorel: I like maroon. And it’s great, you get to punch assholes in the face.
Courfeyrac: I love yellow! It’s such a happy color! As for the revolution, I love the feeling of actually helping people and making a real change in their lives!
Eponine: My favourite colour is probably purple. Being in the revolution makes me feel like I’m actually doing something to combat the awful state of the world today, so it’s good. You have to at least try to improve the world.
Combeferre: Blue. It is incredibly rewarding, despite setbacks, and even if it weren’t rewarding, someone has to be on hand to look after these reprobates good friends.
Claquesous: Black and white; such a stark difference and still pleasing to the eye. I wouldn’t know anything about what the social justice group gets up to.
Enjolras: Red! What’s it like to be in the Revolution? Join2 us and you’ll learn! It’s great knowing that we are helping to make a difference in the world. Exhilarating, really. It takes hard work and a lot of dedication, but it is worth it. It will always be worth it.
Musichetta: Yellow, the shade of a blooming daffodil, or the reflection of the early morning sun. As for being in the revoltion, it’s … inspiring. This world can be really disheartening. There’s bad news everywhere and anxiety is so insidious. But the best way to change that is to make a difference for yourself. Even if you feel like just one person, you can help, and you won’t be alone while doing it. Other people will feel the same. Small acts of kindness and courage can be just as revolutionary as grand gestures, in the right place.
