If You Hadn’t Noticed, My Current Hyperfixation Is Newsies. Like I Really Love It.

The gays recognise each other

my favorite insignificant scene in Les mis is the scene where grantaire and javert spend a very brief 2 minutes together and grantaire IMMEDIATELY clocks the homo energy between Valvert . And proceeds to use that newfound knowledge to tease jav

YEAS

like wdym I can speak english and portuguese but I can't remember the word for what I'm thinking in neither of them????

God I hate being bilingual now I can't speak neither spanish nor english 😭

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?

no, you know what? fuck you *unmiserables your les*

something that i haven't seen people talk about much is that as much as grantaire loved and venerated enjolras, it wasn't strong enough for him to look past his cynicism for most of the brick. his love for enjolras prior to OFPD was in really only in words, as evidenced by the one time enjolras entrusted him with a task and he immediately abandoned it. in other words, he romanticized the idea of enjolras but nothing that he actually stood for. only faced by the national guard moments before death did he finally proclaim himself as one of them and gave his life for the cause. also, enjolras scorned grantaire for his cynicism the whole time but the moment grantaire finally believed, he was the one who pressed his hand with a smile and welcomed him to die with him. what i'm saying is, enjolras would've immediately welcomed and loved grantaire if he had believed in the cause earlier and even gave him a chance to prove himself, but nothing (not even his love for enjolras) could move grantaire past his cynicism until the very end

So, when I said I wanted to be a Newsie, I meant be a "cool looking boy with a vest and good at dancing" way, not the "capitalism is going to kill me " way

Just to make it clear

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.

The different reactions to the The Art of Murder pilot are so funny to me because you've got:

. STARKID ANIME?!?!?

. OMG IS THAT POMNI FROM AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS?!??!?!?

. UHHHH ACE ATTORNEY REFERENCE?!?!?

. THE ANIME MAN?!?!?!?

. SHE DOES K-POP!!!!!

. IS THAT OFFICER PETEY FROM JESSIE?!?!?

. What a cool animated pilot! 👍 Hope to see more. ❤️❤️🤗
