look guys, hugh jackman was great in Les Mis but daniel day lewis was fucking incredible in Lincoln and basically I’m not taking any Lincoln-haters seriously because I doubt you’ve seen it, some of you probably don’t even know who Lincoln is or what the thirteenth amendment is or where gettysburg is and you’re probably the same idiots who think Les Mis is about the French revolution. don’t hate an entire movie that you’ve not even seen just because hugh jackman didn’t win an oscar.

eponine: lea michele

before the movie I always thought the barricades were out in the middle of some fields somewhere and they like rode out horses and carts into the middle of nowhere but then in the film they started making it literally on the streets and I was like ohhh this makes more sense

so les mis was good but idk I thought it would have been better with Kanye West as Jean Valjean

 ’who iz I, bruva? 2 fo’ 6 0 1’

 ‘I think you’re great javert and imma let u finish but Marius made one of the BEST barricades OF. ALL. TIME’

 ‘Piss up wid me, 2 days gone by, innit’

‘Yo these thenardiers are gold diggers but they ain’t messin wiv me, bro’

‘Cosette that slurrrrt, promiscuous gurl’

 ’What’s Javert, ma killa? what’s Marius, ma deala? What’s that flag, fantine? Eponine says I’m the illest cause I’m suffering from realness, got my revolutionaries in Paris’

I just think it’s hilarious that the les mis recording is number 2, beaten only by taylor swift at number 1, I bet she’s like MWHAHAHA REVENGE IS SWEET

Natalie Goodman is doing her homework - a family tree project. Most of the other kids only go back 50 years or so and then give up. But Natalie works harder than all the other kids and she traces her family back to the 1800s. It turns out that she is of French descent. Her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was a man named Enjolras who died aged just 22 in a brutal battle during the French revolution. She finds out as much as she can about Enjolras and it seems that he was a charming young man, capable of being terrible. Upon reading about his life, Natalie determines that he was clever and determined and passionate, as well as having a fairly fluid sexuality. It seems he was deeply infatuated with his friend Grantaire, and Natalie, seeing a picture of Grantaire, can’t blame him. However, it seemed to be customary for Enjolras and his friends to visit prostitutes, and Natalie realises that he inevitably slept with a few of them. Appearances sake, perhaps? From what she could gather, Enjolras didn’t care much for women. Regardless, one of the prostitutes evidently became pregnant. Natalie sees several pictures Enjolras - at a table in a cafe, holding an enormous flag, marching through Paris, clutching a gun at the barricades, talking tenderley to Grantaire, and the most haunting of all, his lifeless body draped over the barricades, dripping with blood, his eyes staring at nothing. Unbeknownst to Natalie, Gabe has been watching her for the past hour. He looks at these pictures of Enjolras and can’t tear his eyes away. It’s as if he’s looking at his twin, the resemblance is so strong. Natalie finds that Enjolaras’ child, a girl, ended up in a small town in Germany, giving birth to a girl in the late 1800s who grows up to wear a brown dress with her hair in plaits. And Natalie nearly drops her laptop because it’s like she’s looking into a mirror.

what if….

what if taylor swift was eponine….

where would we all be right now….

up at 2am cursing her name

looking out the window and seeing the rain

hating how we’re uncool theatre geeks

loving the way aaron tveit speaks

daydreaming of princesses and fairytales and stars

wishing eponine was lea michele or even samantha barks

waiting by the phone for it to ring

sighing because on my own is too hard for her to sing

picking up the phone and talking to some guy

he tells you the news, you act happy and lie

then you get in his truck and go for a nice ride

but not that kind of ride

cuz it’s important to be a virgin

LOL JK sit back and watch broadway and hollywood merging

what if the Les Mis movie makes loads of people fall in obsessive love with Aaron Tveit (which will happen because let’s face it he’s Aaron fucking Tveit) and then they all fall in love with Next to Normal and then all the new hype about N2N means they have to revive it and also make a movie

What if in the les mis movie, enjolras refuses to accept the fact that he’s dead and starts singing “i’m alive” and marius gets confused because he’s seeing his dead friend pole dancing and marius gets even more confused because he’s supposed to love cosette but his pants are becoming awfully tight as he struggles to tear his eyes away from enjorlas and marius finds himself wishing that he were the pole

Dear 95% of people who call themselves thespians,

mrsmelchiorgabor:

There’s a life beyond Les Mis

There’s a world beyond Wicked

There’s a meaning beyond Mamma Mia

Sincerely, actual Thespians.

omg but aaron tviet is going to be like ‘BEFORE THE BARRICADES ARIIIIIIISE’ and just omg

I’m sick of the media saying that les mis ‘stars Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway’, Anne Hathaway is going to be dead within half an hour
