“i smell cheese. i enter building.” a man of simplicity

i really appreciate how in-depth victor hugo goes with descriptions of characters in les misérables. especially with the “a group who barely missed becoming historic” chapter. just lengthy paragraphs about each member, not over or under written, the absolute right amount of information to introduce these characters. i wished more books did something like that.

people who have read les misérables, what’s the best translation to read in your opinion?

also grantaire whining because enjolras sent navet to fetch bossuet and not him is so funny. talking about: “enjolras hates me :( if he had asked for me to come, well guess what, i would have went. but he didn’t, he asked for bossuet, and so now i’m not going to his funeral bc my feelings are hurt.”

Grantaire, gazing lovingly at Enjolras: He could kill me and I’d thank him.

Eponine, who’d heard this for the millionth time: I’d thank him too

Priest: Repeat after me.

Grantaire: After me.

Priest, turning to Enjolras: Are you sure you want this one?

Combeferre: What’s the first thing you notice when a person approaches you?

Enjolras: The audacity.

Enjolras, trying to flirt: You are the membrane to my osmosis.

Grantaire:

Enjolras, panicking: you know? How osmosis must always have the partially permeable membrane to occur?

Grantaire, smirking: And so are you the key to my heart.

Courfeyrac: I know you think my judgement’s clouded because I like Combeferre a little bit.

Enjolras: You doodled your wedding invitation.

Courfeyrac: No, that’s our joint tombstone.

Enjolras: My mistake.

Enjolras: I think I’m in love with you.

Grantaire: But you hate me…?

Enjolras: That… is my love language.

Combeferre: Enjolras is at that age where there’s only one thing on his mind.

Courfeyrac:Revolution?

Combeferre: That’s what he wants people to believe. But, actually…

*Both look at enjolras staring at grantaire*

Combeferre, whispering: it’s the cat boy.

Enjolras: The real treasure was the memories we made along the way.

Grantaire:Ialmost died.

Enjolras: That… was my favorite memory

Combeferre, with Courfeyrac in his arms: Come on Courf, it’s time to go home.

Courfeyrac: But I’m already home.

Enjolras: *makes retching noises at the back*

Grantaire: I guess we’ll have to share this one.

Enjolras: How do you share a popsicle?

Grantaire: I take a lick, you take a lick, I take a lick, you take a lick…

Enjolras: *is slightly turned on*

Grantaire: *singing melodiously*

Combeferre: Wow. He ate that performance quite well.

Enjolras: Yeah. Guess what else he’s good at eating?

Enjolras:There are only three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Grantaire way.

Combeferre: Isn’t that just the wrong way?

Enjolras: Yeah, but it’s faster.

Enjolras: Why are you sitting on the counter?

Grantaire: Because it’s where all the snacks belong.

Enjolras: I wanna do something stupid.

Bahorel: Grantaire is stupid, do him.

Grantaire: Are you hitting on Enj for me?

Bahorel: Well, you wouldn’t do it alone so-

Grantaire: That’s crazy! Enjolras does not have a crush on me!

Courfeyrac: Yes, he does.

Combeferre: Yes, he does.

Enjolras: Yes, I do.

Grantaire: Knock, knock!

Enjolras: I’m not in the mood.

Grantaire: Just this once, please? Knock, knock!

Enjolras, sighing: Fine. Who’s there?

Grantaire:Mary.

Enjolras: Mary who?

Grantaire: Marry me.

Enjolras: If you could just see things straight-

Grantaire: Well sorry but in case you still don’t know, I’m gay for you.

Ok here’s the truth: IF WHEN YOU WATCHED/READ LES MISERABLES YOU DIDN’T SUPPORT THE MILITARY COMING TO KILL THE REVOLUTIONARIES, BUT YOU CURRENTLY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL GUARD COMING TO ATTACK PROTESTORS IN AMERICA, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. END. OF. STORY.
