George Blagden Deserves More Recognition I Say Into The Mic.

“George Blagden deserves more recognition” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right”. I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: Victor Hugo himself

The more versions of the story you see, the more you appreciate the complexity of their relationship, especially when adding the book on top of that.

i just got back from seeing the brazilian production of les mis and here are some of my thoughts on the brazilian enjoltaire:

- grantaire is really sad??? maybe the saddest grantaire i’ve seen?? i don’t really know how to explain it but even in his line in red & black he was more like a sad drunk than a playful drunk.. i thought that was a really interesting portrayal of R - instead of teasing enj, grantaire was kind of abrupt to him for most of the show and it almost felt like R didn’t trust himself around enjolras - R quietly nodded along enj’s words quite a few times - enjolras doesn’t really acknowledge grantaire till the barricade when he hands R the gun - after eponine’s death, grantaire literally doesn’t take his eyes off enjolras - in drink with me, when grantaire starts singing his part, enjolras breaks into the most beautiful shiny grin???? - but as soon as enj realizes what grantaire is singing/talking about, his smile disappears - also during his lines in drink with me, R is throwing stuff around angrily and no one is really being able to stop him - enj runs up to grantaire and everyone backs off - grantaire stops and, for the first time during the show, allows himself to get really near enjolras and they hold the most intense and longest eye contact???/)/ - my favorite part about this was that you could really see how much enj cares about grantaire

ok so this is what i gathered from watching les mis brasil tonight. can’t really confirm if this was what the actors were going for… im so far up enjoltaire’s ass i may have read way too much into their actions. buT ANYWAY both the actors who played enjolras and grantaire were AMAZING and they deserve all the love!!!

finnick odair, who took care of an old woman in the arena, who learned how to take care of his mentally ill wife and taught peeta how to calm down using what he learned, who put himself in charge of helping peeta, who was used by the capitol for his body and refused to ever be a pawn again, who was nothing like anyone assumed, was a better character than anyone deserved tbh

no one is more chaotic good than enjolras

no one is more chaotic neutral than grantaire

Castiel: I’m a confident driver.

Dean: You almost ran over Gabriel.

Castiel: I did it with confidence, though.
