there is nothing romantic about

• not knowing you’re beautiful 
• loving someone until they learn to love themselves

please stop romanticizing low self esteem.

it’s one thing to love a person who happens to have low self esteem

it’s another thing to frame low self esteem as a desirable trait. 

#hey #hey EVERY BOY BAND EVER

grantaire teaching enjolras how to draw and enjolras being awful and getting impatient and frustrated so grantaire has to make him feel better ✿◕‿◕✿

oh my god if grantaire had been a girl and her relationship with enjolras had been compared again and again to classical greek romances and enjolras had died holding hands with her nobody would be squalling about “subtext” give me a BREAK

Grantaire’s feelings about Enjolras are not subtext. They’re fucking text. Enjolras’ feelings are trickier, though.

enjolras’ feelings may be ambiguous but there’s nothing ambiguous about the narrative of which he is part

hugo wrote a love story

i think in the end, enjolras’ feelings aren’t ambiguous anymore. he accepts grantaire and reaches out to him and doesn’t have to do any of it. he could’ve said “no, he’s not one of us. let him live” or something like that but he didn’t.

the whole thing about the “some men are born to be the opposite, reverse, counterpart” and similar descriptions is that something like that is not one sided. obviously, R is largely rejected throughout the story, but it doesn’t mean the connection and the need to have that complement is not mutual. imo, it could explain a lot of what makes E so unbalanced - because he’s rejected this other half that he needs.

honestly i think their story is the most incredible romance of the whole book.

queerjolras:

things enjolras would literally never ever do

• work for the government
• prioritise his grades
• deliberately make one of the amis feel like shit and/or make them cry (grantaire is not an exception)
• be polite to the police 
• follow the rules

jolsette:

who cares about forgiveness, self sacrifice and courage when the most important thing in les mis is if enjolras is gay

queer people who don’t often have the privilege of seeing forgiving, self-sacrificing, courageous characters to whom they bear a passing resemblance

meronicavars:

okay im going to attempt a rant cos im on my laptop and yeah okay cool

so. we all know why enjonine is queer erasure. and we understand why queer erasure is bad.

but i wanted to talk a bit about why enjolras being queer is important. because it is important. it’s very important.

for a very, very long time when we’ve seen the portrayal of queer characters in both literature and cinema they’ve been antagonists or they die. they don’t die in a righteous or heroic way like enjolras does. more than often these characters are antagonists AND die, because what always happens to a villain? they are killed by the magical heroic straight white male protagonist. this is prominent in film in the earlier 20th century leading up to the 70s. 

and even as things changed. even as we saw gay characters that werent inherently “evil”, we see them hate themselves and hurt themselves. and the same from the people around them. 

queer characters have been a stereotype. the “sissy” and the “villain”, the “weak” and the “predator”.

so why is enjolras being queer important?

he is not weak or evil, hilariously, i can’t even believe it myself, he is righteous and heroic and does not die because he likes men. he dies fighting for a cause he believes in he goes out a martyr and a hero fucking holding hands with a man who loves him.

why is enjolras being queer important? he doesn’t fit into a mainstream stereotype. you don’t see him being the “sissy” character in an old film only there to be a laughingstock. you don’t see him crying curled in a corner being beaten to death for being a fairy. you don’t see him hating himself and hurting himself for what he is.

enjolras dies with a smile on his face. he’s not just a hero for people with any passions, his passions. he’s a hero to queer people who have been longing to see a queer character whose sexuality is not the base of their sad existence. 

he’s a hero to queer people who want to be strong and be a revolutionary in their own right and don’t have to worry because they’re queer. 

and you know what makes that even better. les mis was published over 100 years before the stonewall riots and harvey milk’s political run, over 100 years before you could have someone say “it’s okay” and you could go somewhere where it could be. 

and les mis is a classic, yes it’s huge and takes forever to read, but people know it. you can find les mis anywhere. it’s universal. and

omg. just enjolras is queer. and it’s fucking awesome. and he’s a fucking hero. and he’s got a cute butt and all the amis want to touch it.

the-most-epic-mizzy:

Enjolras would spend an hour figuring out he controls, then form alliances.

Courfeyrac would be that dick who follows everyone around;

“Hey, Enjolras, I’m behind you.”

“I’m just gonna follow you now, okay?”

Combeferre would be that guy you don’t know is there

then
