Daybreak furnishes a still better illumination

why did authors stop naming their chapters i loved it when there was a clever little title for each chapter it was great

remember when cosette said she was leaving to england and marius was like “what. what the. no. no you’re not.” and cosette was like “well!!! just come with us” and marius just “what is wrong with you. what are you talking about. i’ve been wearing the same pair of pants every day for two months. do you really expect me to be able to go to england.” and then he slammed his head against a tree and stood that way for two hours while cosette cried

I just want one good college au that stays true to the brick canon in that Marius isn’t a member of the amis. I want that one fic where he’s just Courfeyrac’s dopey roommate, and when Courf brings him to a meeting, Marius says something about being “fiscally conservative but socially liberal” and there’s a moment of tense silence where everyone just stares at him before Enjolras slowly rises to his feet and coldly whispers “get out.”

ooh, what’s this from?  (er. and what’s it say, for the benefit of a poor English-single-language speaker?)

In my super super crap French, something like: "The name builds on the double sense of ‘angel’, from ‘angelically beautiful’ to ‘the terrible cherubim of Ezekiel’. As well as the aspects of ‘rosy’* and ‘wise’, the name enjôleur** also contains the forename Jean: that of (the?) heroes, that of ‘the disciple Jesus loved’ and that of the Baptist." *I’m guessing meaning ‘young’ and ‘phwoar’, after Hugo describes his ‘joues roses’/rosy cheeks **well spoken/smooth spoken

JEAN JOLRAS Jean Q. Publique would have been enough but JEAN JOLRAS THERE IS NO WAY TO GO OOOON

I mean, if they’re all named Jean, it would explain why only their last names are given (except for Prouvaire because of the medieval-ized nickname). Because I don’t think Enjolras would want to call out “Jean!” and have eight people answer.

my history professor asked what the difference between the American and french revolutions is and I said the American revolution doesn’t have a musical

Neither does the French one, technically.
