Tired revolutionaries and b r e a d

you should NOT be at the club. you should be in the streets, june 5th, 1832, paris france. you should be building a barricade

Not now kitten, daddy's trying to drag his stupid fucking half-dead son-in-law through the sewers

Les Misérables AU where Marius immediately breaks down after Valjean’s confession and tells Cosette her dad is a thief and she responds with “I know lmao??” because Valjean has been disappearing for weeks at a time and coming back with stacks of cash throughout her whole adolescence and it wasn’t hard to put two and two together. She has in fact been vastly overestimating his crimes and is almost disappointed to find out it was one loaf of bread nearly forty years ago

WHAT DO YOU MEAN MARIUS' FATHER DIED WITH MARIUS BELIEVING HE DIDNT LOVE HIM?? THAT HE WILLINGLY GAVE HIM UP??? AS IF THIS MAN WOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING TO HAVE HELD HIS SON ONE LAST TIME, TO LOOK INTO HIS EYES OR HEAR HIS VOICE. THIS MAN, WHO LITERALLY DIED CRYING BECAUSE HE KNEW HIS SON WOULD NOT ARRIVE BEFORE HIS DEATH, BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS TOO LATE. THIS MAN, WHO GRIEVED HIS DEAD WIFE AND TAKEN CHILD HIS WHOLE LIFE, YET NEVER ONCE TURNED DOWN SOMEONE IN NEED??

my favorite part of les miserables is when joly asks marius “what’s wrong today?” implying that there’s something wrong with marius everyday and what is it now??

so interesting how each of les amis represents a different facet of hugo’s ideology. enjolras is republicanism as whole; combeferre, the importance of education and scientific progress; courfeyrac, being a chill guy who fucks; grantaire, yapping…
