Come Be We And We Be Free

if my recently-reignited love for les mis gets even one of you guys into enjolras/grantaire I'll be happy. I promise you it is worth getting into because it is insane. in the year of our lord 1862 victor hugo wrote that these dudes were like alexander the great and hephaestion, like achilles and patroclus, and died holding hands, and the rest of us have been insane ever since. one hundred and sixty-two years of us trying to figure out wtf he meant by that. fellas is it gay to die hand-in-hand with your narrative foil? and then in 2012 george blagden decided to play grantaire like he was pathetically in love with enjolras, didn't tell tom hooper (the director) or aaron tveit (who played enjolras) or literally anyone else that he was going to do that, and fully eight months after the film came out he dropped a cover of a death cab song on youtube where he'd rewritten the lyrics to be about grantaire's unrequited love for enjolras. insane. insane. I have been in a lot of fandoms over the years but this is the only one where the brain rot is terminal

you know what we need? we need queer romcoms. we don’t need any more sad lifetime movies about queers who end up dead or heartbroken. we don’t need any more real life stories. we need queer romcoms.
