Grantaire: gonna go buy a starbucks for my breakfast

Enjolras: ur saying starbucks specifically because it’s a big abusive union-busting tax-evading corporation, I presume

Grantaire: exactly

Enjolras: very cool of u. fresh. Unique

Grantaire: oooh sarcasm I like it

Enjolras: also its like 1pm?? Why not just call it lunch

Grantaire: cos it’s the first meal of my day

Grantaire: philosophically that makes it breakfast

Enjolras: but its lunchtime

Enjolras: so its lunch

Grantaire: yeah but im BREAKing my FAST

Grantaire: ergo breakfast

Grantaire: u will not win this one

Enjolras: nor do I particularly desire to do so, upon reflection

Grantaire: atnifdisestablishmentatdsicnmdsm

Grantaire: watit

Grantaire: wAIT

Grantaire: antidsihfcestabsliumentarianism

Grantaire: yuo KNOW THE FWORD

Enjolras:  I wish I knew why I was awake

Grantaire: ANTIGFUCDISESTABLISMENTRIIIIIANS,M

Grantaire: lonGESTSG WORD

Grantaire: SOMTETHGIN TO DO WITAGH CHURCH POLITIFCS YOU KNOW IST

Grantaire: ANTIDSIESTABLISHMENTARISBNM

Enjolras:  oh my fucking GOD

Enjolras:  I know what you’re trying to say

Enjolras:  u know antidisestablishmentarianism isn’t actually the longest word in the English language

Enjolras:  and its barely ever been used

Enjolras:  it’s interesting because the meaning of the word is used as an EXAMPLE of a stupidly long word vastly vastly more than the actual meaning of antidisestablishmentarianism

Enjolras:  so the MEANING is more like “a long word” than “opposing the disestablishment of the church”

Grantaire: ir so smart but also such ab buzzklil

Enjolras to Grantaire 9:16am

Enjolras: the concept of attraction and aesthetics can be discussed in a totally detached manner from how one man perceives another

Grantaire: fuck me

Grantaire: no

Grantaire: too early for this

Enjolras: did I wake you??

Grantaire: surprisingly no. im busy

Enjolras: what is it that you do again?

Grantaire: dream, breathe, fuck

Enjolras: seriously

Grantaire: drink, dance, box

Enjolras: that wasn’t the question

Grantaire: well then the question was boring and poorly worded

Grantaire: guess im too anarchist for you

Grantaire: im not defined by how i earn a living

Enjolras to Grantaire 9:43am

Enjolras: I quite liked your answer

Grantaire: what???

Grantaire: the “dream breathe fuck” or the “drink dance box”?

Enjolras: I meant your offense at my asking the question itself

Enjolras: you are right, to say “what do you do?” and to have it be a question solely of what labour you provide is a poor question to ask

for all 3 people who might ever see this, I have an end of year gift for you - finally another update of How I'm Imagining You!

catch up HERE: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39385980/chapters/98566419

i'm formatting all the chat nicknames as we speak - this is not a drill

lots of love,

zelda

aaaa thank you so much for the message!! I am having so much fun writing HIIY, but do appreciate you being willing to wait a little longer for updates lately - not sure I'd call HIIY "beautiful writing" more than "chaotic mistakes" but I really appreciate it lmao <33

How I’m Imagining You is going to be late this week: I’ve been super busy irl, I’ve changed job, and also in fandom news I’ve signed up for a bunch of les mis fandom events, so my writing backlog has massively grown!! hopefully that’s something to look forward to, but it’s meant that weekly updates for HIIY have got harder to keep up with

I’m expecting to get back on top of weekly HIIY in the next month or two, but until then it may be a bit patchy. plus - next chapter is a really important one for enjolras and grantaire, so I want to get it right for you!

lots of lov,
