Les Amis de l’ABC at the Musain WTF WHAT THE HELL IS THIS EVEN

Three things are responsible for this monstrosity:

  • @gavrockandroll‘s post, “

    tbh one of the more subtly chaotic fandoms was les mis, because modern aus became so common they stopped being labelled all the time because it was just Assumed it’d be a modern au. but there were still original time period works scattered in so you’d have a fucking schrodinger’s cat situation where everyone is both in 1800’s and the current day until someone whips out a cell phone”

  • to which @pilferingapples replied, “

    if it’s not tagged I’m just assuming everyone’s chillin’ at the Starbucks in waistcoats and leg-of-mutton sleeves”, and

  • that series of art posts of various people’s Grantaires dressed as George Blagden (in that awful patterned shirt – you know very well which one). If anyone knows/remembers who the OP was, please tag!

Only of course Far doesn’t know quite where to stop. LOL. I wash my hands of all responsibility. Interpret it as you will. 😉

[And if you’re thinking that I’ve surely put actual content on that laptop, …. you’d be right…]

[I also made a terrible error somewhere in this picture. Not gonna fix it. Have a good laugh on me when you find it. Ain’t the first time it’s happened; and it certainly won’t be the last!]

EDIT: @ratheralark has informed me that they’re the OP for the Blagtaire thing. Cheers!

THIS
EXACTLY THIS
THIS IS HOW I PICTURE ANY ERA-AMBIGUOUS AU,IT’S PERFECT

–I can’t believe you’re STILL managing to mock/homage that One Illustration but you totally are

– the waistcoats and all the clothing are AMAZING, the details of the fabric are all so good!

–…did you have articles in mind for l’oignon, there, or–?

Interesting Les Mis parallel:

Patron-Minette captures Valjean and threatens to torture him with a flaming hot poker. Instead of running/fighting back like a Normal Person, Valjean grabs the poker and stabs himself with it while calmly telling the gang “Go ahead– your weapons don’t work on me.” Patron-Minette fREAKS OUT out and gives up on torturing him

Then Javert bursts onto the scene. Thenardier holds a gun to Javert’s head at like point-blank range. Instead of running/fighting back like a Normal Person, Javert calmly tells him that his gun will misfire. For some inexplicable reason it doES misfire, Patron-Minette fREAKS OUT, and they all surrender

Valjean and Javert’s response to vicious gangs pointing deadly weapons at them is “lol sure like thAT thing will hurt me, go ahead, see if I care.” And that strategy somehow works

lesmis-imagine:

Listen, I love sweet, awkward Enjolras who has trouble with pda as much as the next fan but please imagine if you will a really, really adorably physical Enjoltaire.

Imagine Enjolras and Grantaire being unable to keep their hands off each other for more than a second or two (“We’re making up for lost time~!” R insists, with his boyfriend cuddled up in his lap). It gets absolutely ridiculous; Enjolras sitting in Grantaire’s lap even though there are plenty of other chairs he could be sitting in (which has absolutely nothing to do with the way R’s hand rubbing his thigh and cupping his hips), intense after-argument makeout sessions that make everyone in the immediate vicinity feel slightly dirty, Enjolras draped across Grantaire’s lap with the artist running his fingers through his hair and ranting to Courf about something then completely loosing his train of thought because ‘Taire tugged on his hair in just the right way and goddamn that felt good. The Amis are all torn between thinking it’s adorable and begging them to just get a room.

One time poor Marius forgot one of his textbooks in the Musain and went back after a particularly argumentative meeting. He was still bright red when he got home and refused to talk about what he saw.
