Tom Hooper is still public enemy number one to me six years later for what he did to ABC Cafe and Drink With Me. You dont get to just fuckin delete important parts out of the songs so that you can add in your weird ass santa sex scene. That is an irredeemable crime, Thomas, and for that you will be one of the first in line at the guillotine when the revolution comes
I still love how Logan is literally just Les Mis, if instead of singing Valjean and Cosette just had knives for hands
“Hey do you know that one movie starring Hugh Jackman? The one where he plays a grizzled old famously unnaturally Strong guy who was imprisoned/tortured to the point of almost losing his humanity…. his character has an ordinary human name that starts with J (James, Jean) but people dehumanize him by calling him his Captivity Number™ (Weapon X, Prisoner 24601). His life is turned around when a kindly old mentor figure shows him compassion (Professor Xavier, Bishop Myriel) and sets him down the path to redemption. And then! Then he meets this young girl who aLSo has an “I was treated like an animal/slave” backstory. After the girl’s mother tragically dies the two become a father-daughter duo, each helping each other recover from their Tragic Pasts. But there’s a problem: not only is Hugh Jackman’s character In Hiding, but there are ALSO people hunting for the girl! See, Jackman’s character helped rescue her from the Horrible People who raised her as their slave (Donald Pierce and co, the Thenardiers) but now those people want her back. So they’re on the run from both the Law™ and the girl’s former “caretakers”. And while at first Hugh Jackman’s character is the one protecting the daughter, by the end of the film he is clearly the vulnerable one– and while they both protect each other he ultimately needs her more than she needs him. And the story ends with Hugh Jackman’s character dying as his adopted daughter begs him to stay, although at least he died holding her hand and knowing that after a life of untold horrors he finally found a family”
Grantaire who hasn’t always been allowed to express his emotions, who grew up on a steady stream of ‘men don’t cry’ and ‘don’t be a pussy’ learning to proudly love the amis
Grantaire who didn’t know that a friend could say ‘I love you’, slowly incorporating it into every time he texts his friends, saying it again and again and again, getting a little thrill each time he gets a rely of ’ I love you too’ because he didn’t have people telling him that when he was a kid, after his mother died. That was supposed to be ‘weak’ but he’s not weak for loving others the amis say.
Grantaire who is almost as bad as Enjolras about ranting about how amazing the rest of the amis are, who wants to tell the world he loves them because before he found them any compliments would’ve been met with a ‘what, are you gay?’ When they go toe to toe complimenting each other, its a sight to seen, the loudest form of PDA.
Grantaire who loves to send his friends photos of flowers, or dogs, or just a string of emojis to say ‘im thinking about you’ because he’s had to pretend to not care about people for so long, or face sneers and jokes and exclusion and ridicule.
Grantaie who hates the world but loves other so much, finally in a place where he can express that love.
like don’t get me wrong i love spontaneous and passionate jumping straight into a relationship e/r as much as anyone (that is to say, a hell of a lot) but do u know what gets me even more ????????
slow, tentative boyfriends e/r
e/r who maybe go on a few dates before they’re officially ‘together’
e/r who are nervous to even hold hands at first, who have been friends before they started dating and aren’t strangers to physical contact but this is /new/ and /different/ and maybe enj gets flustered and maybe r blushes a little
e/r who don’t kiss until the 2nd or 3rd date, but when they do it’s soft and a little shy and maybe their noses bump a lil and they’re both laughing as they pull away
e/r who make the small leap from ‘dating’ to ‘boyfriends’ and it feels so right and neither of them stop smiling for days
e/r who /don’t/ spend every waking second together but it’s the little things that count- the way e will kiss r’s cheek in greeting before getting ready to speak in meetings. the way r will always send e a text asking how his day went. the way they’ll talk on the phone when they can’t manage to see each other
e/r who are low key on the pda but it’s definitely there: it’s there in e’s hand on r’s shoulder, and it’s there when r brushes hair from e’s face. in the way they touch palms in hello and squeeze hands in goodbye
e/r who love each other so much but not straight away. e/r who take time easing into their relationship, navigating and learning about each other, who enjoy spending time together, who make each other happy, who feel so lucky because oh my god my boyfriend is amazing
How about Grantaire who, for no discernible reason, really likes celebrating national holidays from other countries. He walks into the Musain like, “HEY GUYS ITS FOURTH OF JULY” and Enjolras yells back, “whY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE”
