I Wish, If There's Any Brasilian Musical Fandom There, Please Start Doing Musicals Edits With Brasilian

idk if people have talked about this before but one thing that's really special to me about having grown up loving Les Mis is that I used to find it extremely hard to relate to Grantaire because I was an extremely idealistic leftist that didn't understand not having any ideals - but having been forced to realize just how hard it is to actually cause any change, I have gone through phases of deep pessimism that do not improve with the way the state of the world is going.

During those phases, I find myself understanding and sympathizing with Grantaire's psyche so much that I get a lot of serenity from it. And then I sympathize even more with his obsession with Enjolras, because he to me is the personification of idealism, so yes, I do venerate that version of myself, and I do believe in it even when it's hard to believe that change is possible.

I just love Victor Hugo's writing so much and this dynamic has been so helpful for me to work through my complicated relationship with activism.

One of the killers is a any pronoun non-binary

Diversity wins

jack is sooo in love with david it makes him look stupid. the first real conversation they have, jack negotiates the split of profits to be 60-40, despite knowing upfront that david had at least two mouths to feed, himself and les, whereas jack only had himself to worry about. jack goes from that — screwing david over in the prioritization of his own survival (which to be clear i dont judge him for, i think it's very human) — to scabbing for david. which is a huge personal sacrifice, i mean jack literally puts himself under the thumb of pulitzer knowing the loss of freedom and humiliation that entails, sacrifices his reputation and his relationship with david in one fell swoop, damages the strength of the strike, etc

and when david confronts him, jack says, "i aint like you. it's just me, i gotta look out for myself." and what always gets me is how there’s such a huge contrast between what comes out of jack's mouth (i'm only in it for myself, i dont care about you) vs what the reality of the situation is (i'm doing this to protect you, i'm breaking your heart because of you)

like. something about david makes jack throw away his self preservation instincts, which is what makes him so flighty, AND confront his deeply rooted belief that he isn't loved, which he copes with by telling himself that he can move to santa fe no problem because he has no real attachments here. in the end it always circles back to the fact that when jack makes the decision to stay in new york, he looks at david and grins and says. "I got family here." really good.

How is it called when you don't have parent issues because they are not necessarily bad parents, they're just not good people and you rather be anything than like them in any aspects of your life?

I think that happens because right after the start of the show we already have Briar changing a lot in her character, the not wanting to follow her destiny anymore thing on Thronecoming, this is probably a turning point in their friendship cause at that time, Apple didn't accept iet that people did not need to follow their parents storys, so they grew apart

Briar and Apple being BFFAs at the beginning of the show but started drifting apart as time went on the series that they're barely seen with each other in the later seasons vs Raven and Maddie sticking together most of the time throughout the show despite everything....

Best time of my life to have my favourite musicals to be Les Miserables, Newsies and Cabaret

Because guess what? People are realising fascism still exists and capitalism is really really bad and we should do something abou it

Who would have guessed that would happen?
