He Too Was About To Show Himself Brave, Intrepid, Bold

he too was about to show himself brave, intrepid, bold…

It’s barricade day and I just couldn’t help myself-

the way he looks out of the window… you never know what he’s thinking.

he might be thinking of jumping out to save himself. he might be looking at the soldiers outside, waiting for his corpse. he might be looking at the soldiers carrying the dead bodies of revolutionaries inside the cafe to line them up. he might be looking at the sunrise of his beautiful motherland before he takes his last breath. he might be looking at the dead bodies of his friends, thinking if the revolution was actually worth it.

he then looks back at the soldiers, getting their guns ready to kill him. and it would probably only take about a bullet from a gun to kill him, but no. the revolutionary’s leader is too brave, too fierce to be shot with one bullet and die. so, as he faces the guns that could kill him at any moment, he might be thinking about all the happy times he spent with the amis. he might be feeling regret for those who had a bright future ahead of them. he might be feeling a bit disappointed because he cannot see the bright future of france that might’ve been changed by his actions. he might be feeling the fear of dying, although he was a mighty leader.

then, grantaire, who literally slept through the revolution and decided to die next to him instead of saving his own life, comes next to him so that he could die with enjolras, his great leader.

and maybe, just maybe, enjolras thought that the revolution was worth losing his life for.

i just love george blagden and aaron tveit’s acting in this movie.

Grantaire has a sketchbook with “R Draws Cats” printed on the cover, and he uses it to... draw cats.

It’s his emotional support sketchbook.

Just so you know, if we're mutuals on here, I have absolutely refered to you as my friend to other people so that they think I have friends. Even if we've literally never had a conversation. I still call you my friend.

happy june fifth everyone
