tbh one of the more subtly chaotic fandoms was les mis, because modern aus became so common they stopped being labelled all the time because it was just Assumed it’d be a modern au. but there were still original time period works scattered in so you’d have a fucking schrodinger’s cat situation where everyone is both in 1800’s and the current day until someone whips out a cell phone

if it’s not tagged I’m just assuming everyone’s chillin’ at the Starbucks in waistcoats and leg-of-mutton sleeves

The les mis fandom in a nutshell.

Because I only now bothered to look at the comments on that post and some of them were kinda salty, just to be clear: I like both. Both are good. One does not exclude the other.

i was watching the olympics figure skating and this idea just popped in my head: enjolras as the beautiful figure skater who dances like a snow god and grantaire as the witty radio host who is just /so gay/ for this French star

just-french-me-up:

LISTEN TO ME: SPORT COMMENTATOR GRANTAIRE!

He’s won gold medal for fencing and occasionally boxes a little bit, but he’s mostly retired after an injury and now comments sports on one of France’s main channels. He’s beloved by the public because he’s a cynical piece of shit with one liners that become huge memes on the #upthebaguette tag.

“Welcome to France 3′s annual landscape documentary, also known as the Tour de France.”

People actually tune in to watch sports even though they’re not particularly fond of sporting events just to listen to him snicker and sass what’s happening. But when Enjolras is on the ice, Grantaire’s not so much sassying than he is… praising. He even shuts up during one very difficult figure because he was holding his breath and DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT TAKES TO MAKE GRANTAIRE SHUT THE HELL UP??????

(Although he probably calls Enjolras “Elsa” and “Let it Go” and sings the French version of the song when Enjolras gets on the ice, let’s be real)
