Barricake
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.
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
my favourite cast member of les mis - Aaron Tveit as Enjolras
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
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
ff
things I am looking forward to in the Les Mis movie:
- Aaron Tveit
things I am not looking forward to in the Les Mis movie:
- the scenes without Aaron Tveit
