Here’s a fun text interaction me and @river-fics had involving her trying to tell me a knock knock joke and failing.

IT WORKED

gavroche is blorbo from my shows. I don't care how reductive it is he is the best character period. cheeky little thing. he is one of the characters from les mis I am most frequently overcome with the urge to really blorbofy, you know? I see art and fashion and jokes and incorrect quotes and think oh this is gavroche 1862 french epic

who could be scrunklier than marius. I wave him around like a handkerchief by my grip on his fancy french collar.

and I cannot believe, in 2022, in a fandom where most people were drawn in by the 2012 musical film adaptation, Éponine is getting the scrimblo bimblo treatment, as if Samantha Banks didn't fucking carry that production, as if her voice and her performance and her character weren't the rawest, most genuine notes of the show. Tom Hooper dropped a bunch of Hollywood actors in hell and lucked out by discovering hell was her element, goddamn, (also and I shouldn't even have to mention this but Ép is one of the most complicated, nuanced, interesting characters in any version of les mis and to see her and look the other way is to deprive yourself)

poor little meow meow grantaire. on a good day, the version of him I kin is unwoobified.
