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
college au where enjolras shows up at bahorel’s dorm at 1 am pounding on the door and when he answers just screams “I ATE 12 BROWNIES AND DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE POT BROWNIES AM I GONNA DIE”
people are responding saying baz would slam the door in enj’s face bitch!!! bahorel would take this useless twink by the shoulders and give him water and play 80s synthopop on loop till that fucker calmed down and give him a goddamn blanket!!!! they love each other bitch!!!!!
Headcanon: the people she worked for at the farm were actually really friendly and treated her well and helped her learn a lot of useful skills; I want this to be true and also it’s the only way I can practically see her learning a lot of the complicated skills she’s obviously acquired by the time she reaches Paris
(who the heck would have taught a street kid the complicated variations of sewing that a seamstress needs to know? when else did she have any access to someone else’s help and materials to practice? to say nothing of the social presentation skills that Fantine is obviously not a natural with)
so I actually believe it
Heartcanon: when she was a gamine herself she made friends with all the little birds she could win over by sharing crumbs off whatever she found; more than a few birds recognized her and would actually follow her around sometimes. She charmed all the chickens and ducks when she was working at the farm too; she’s just got a knack with birds.
Gutcanon: definitely a war orphan. Almost certainly her dad was one of Napoleon’s men. Probably rising up the ranks through Martial Valor before getting cut down in one of the more dramatic battles, possibly even before she was born, and then it was just a matter of her mother being one of the many who got an unlucky roll of the dice in the game of 19C Health Issues.
Spleencanon: ACTUALLY SHE RECOVERED AND MET UP WITH VALJEAN AND COSETTE IN PARIS we just don’t see it because she stopped along the way to kick Thenardier’s ass with her post-recovery super powers, which she has now
While Cosette goes to school at the convent Fantine is out keeping the streets of Paris safe from people like Tholomyes but she sees her daughter every night for dinner and stories and hugs THAT’S ALL
The thing about Les Mis is: I love how beneath Paris there’s literally a secret labyrinth decorated with millions of human bones– a sprawling ancient mine that was converted into catacombs in 1700s with passageways where the walls are made out of skulls and long halls where you have to wade through waist-deep mounds of bones, full of mysterious altars and secret passages and graffiti from the French Revolution and hidden entrances that to this day at haven’t been fully explored
yet Victor Hugo chose to give us a 300000 page history lesson on the sewers
“Not being heard is no reason for silence” is such a beautiful quote from Les Mis and it kills me every time that it’s not mentioned in the context of the rebellion but just an old man rambling about how to burry a nun while Jean Valjean isn’t listening at all
