For the mods- how are your characters similar or different to you?
Thank you for the ask, mon ami!Â
Grantaire: i feel like i'm extremely similar to grantaire, before i even found Les Mis i was acting out my life exactly like he does in the brick. to this day i'm not nearly as active as the other Mods because i'm dealing with a lot of personal issues. I'm spending a lot of my time lately getting drunk and helping my local friends get out of my little reservation. I'm Plains Cree and it kills me to see everyone be so hopeless. all i want in the future is to see my people see value in themselves.
Babet: I donât think I should actually admit to how similar Babet and I are.
Eponine: Iâm fairly similar to Eponine, or at least my version of Eponine. I see Eponine as genderfluid, and yes thatâs partly projection - but there is evidence for it in the book (Eponine repeatedly presents as male as well as female). I also love reading (Eponine is very proud of her ability to read in the book and likes showing off with it). I daydream a lot, and I love my siblings. Iâm not exactly like Eponine, I donât have the same experiences, but like Eponine, I dream of a better world. Iâm not as brave as Eponine (Iâm honestly a bit of a coward ha) but I admire their bravery. Like Eponine, Iâd like to think Iâd do anything for the people I care about.
Bahorel: In the brick Bahorel seems to be a kind of a social butterfly, he's like a link to other groups more than a known member of les Amis, and in the musical he doesn't even exists and it doesn't really affects anything, I feel I'm like that, for me is easy to connect with people in a superficial level but not feeling part of the group in a deeper sense, which isn't a bad thing because it's actually fun to just get along. I can be loud and easygoing. Also I feel we both got a sense of humour. I'm different tho in that I'm not as brave or bold , and I'm not *that* confrontative. But idk man, it's hard to say canonically with this characters we only get a few lines of, at the end most of it it's projection or straight up invented so who knows.
Javert: I don't think i'm very similar to Javert but i still have some of his attributes(or things i consider his attributes). I can be very very stuborn although not in a very negative fanatic way as him. I am passionate and can be dramatic as hell. Sometimes i can say very witty and dry sarcastic badass things. They are times that i seem weird when it comes to social interactions and sometimes i look restrained cold and closed (when i don't feel comfortable with some people) and i think he is too.Also my boy Javert is ace like me.It's just the facts.
Montparnasse: First of all, weâre both hot, jot that down. (Weâre also vain, as you can see). Second of all, the line that described Montparnasse? âGentle, effeminate, graceful, robust, weak, and ferociousâ? ( Fahnestock and MacAfee translation). Yeah thatâs me. We both like to be well-dressed and might or might not be willing to murder for nice clothes. To be fair, Iâm nicer than he is and I am not exactly gonna... like... murder people for fun. (The 1%, on the other hand đ). There was that one post about if you have a slider and you slide it from like, cute to dark you get Courfeyrac and Montparnasse respectively, Iâm the whole spectrum of that :p I think our Feu is in denial how similar I am to parts of Montparnasse :pÂ
Feuilly: Monty is not like Montparnasse- Monty is baby Montparnasse is not. On the other hand, Iâve shifted the characterization of Feuilly a bit over these past few years. Of course, I kept the hardworking and creative aspects (things I like to think that I am), but Mr. Thicctor Hugehoe didnât give me much to work with. I simp for iced tea, just like Feuilly, I am also a fan of The Memesâ˘, but Iâm genderfluid and Feu isnât! Also, I am not the sibling of our Monty đ
Montparnasse: See, in denial ;) Also I have adopted you my dear. We are family by anything but blood.Â
Bossuet: I have taken to referring to my clumsy, accidentally self-harming daily nuisances as Bossuet-moments, if that explains anything? I am definitely prone to stupid, unlucky injuries and when I think things are going well, I can be pretty sure bad luck will spoil it. So there you go, check that off the list. Like Bossuet, though, I don't let it put me down permanently. I love my friends and I have gotten fairly good at getting my spirits up despite whatever doorframe I ran into or which favourite mug I dropped and scorched my feet. I'll be fine as long as my friends back me up.
Enjolras: Iâm fairly similar to my character. I strive for equality and justice, I love my friends with all my heart, and I tend to take lead on things. There are places where I differ as well, but on the whole I feel Enj is the one Iâm most similar to out of anyone in Les Mis.
Joly: I think I'm kind of like Joly! We're both known for being cheerful and optimistic, and I also use a cane to walk sometimes, which is part of why I love Joly! I also tend to write Joly as trans and I am too, and I love my friends very much, just like Joly!
Combeferre: The love of books and the tendency to always occupy the niche of the âMom Friendâ are, I suppose, the most visible similarities. I have also been accused of spending too much on books, which is an outright lie, although, in the interests of transparency, my two most recent acquisitions did total ÂŁ100+ and ÂŁ62+ respectively.
Iâm generally quite good at giving advice and am, at the risk of sounding arrogant, fairly intelligent. I can also be quite cutting with my words, although Iâm rarely as polite as a simple âto be freeâ. I also share quite a lot of interests with Combeferre, both as he is in the book and in fanfiction. Iâve also somehow been infected with a love for moths and I hold everyone here completely and utterly responsible and am choosing to gloss over the fact that I have been obsessed with Mothra since I was a child.
Iâm also relatively certain that Iâm taller than most of this chaotic bunch.
