Hey @aroseinmisery1248 heres your eponine! Color palette from this list if you'd like to send an ask ^^
scully would secretly love ethel cain
it’s honestly crazy that like. in theory literary icon jean valjean would do crazy numbers on tumblr, fanfics, etc. he’s a dad. he’s canonically hot and ripped. he has a tragic backstory and self esteem issues. he’s got nuclear levels of catholic guilt. he’s even unmarried so you can old man yaoify him to your heart’s content. man was built in the blorbo factory. but the book he’s in happens to have 20 college age twinks and the musical film based on the book came out in 2012, creating the perfect storm of oncelerfication that defines the fandom at large to this very day. anyway they could never make me shut the fuck up about you jean valjean

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:
can you really look me in the eyes and tell me Grantaire is a twink. you fool. you absolute buffoon
a common misconception
Because it’s the 19th century, your favs aren’t going to be clean shaven. Disclaimer that I know fuck all about historical facial hair, this is all vibes based
During his Monsieur Madeleine phase I think he has very respectable moustache, nothing crazy but very well groomed because he’s presenting himself as this bourgeois gentleman. Basically the same as the 1978 movie.
I think he grows out a full beard in the convent, partially as a disguise but also I think he wanted a change. Still very well groomed to keep up appearances and also because Cosette would tell him off if he didn’t look after himself.
Canonically has whiskers/sideburns and since Hugo pointed them out specifically I’m going to assume they’re very prominent like the photo below. Also he’s bald because I said so.
During his innkeeper era I think he has some crazy beard situation going on like the photo below, he thinks it makes him look like a distinguished businessman. After he loses the inn, he just completely lets himself go, which probably helps his begging scheme.
I’m going to agree with the 2018 BBC series for once and say he has some shitty sideburns. He thinks he looks like a romantic regency hero, I think he looks like a prick.
The only one I’m accepting as completely clean shaven. He’s the marble lover of liberty, his skin is smooth as butter. Clean shaven is a misnomer, he actually just can’t grow a beard.
I think he really really wants to grow an awesome moustache like his cousin Théodule (who we all know has the sexiest facial hair in Les Misérables) but he just can’t grow one like but that won’t stop him from trying. He’s got one of those tiny thin moustaches that seem to be in fashion (think Timothee Chalamet). He cannot pull it off. Cosette spends months trying to find a polite way to tell him to shave.
One person I do think can rival Théodule’s moustache game is Courfeyrac. Just an amazing stache. He spends hours making sure it looks just right before he goes out. It’s his pride and joy. Really doesn’t help Marius’ low facial hair self esteem.
Sensible goatee thing (idk beards). Stylish and practical.
The full Karl Marx. Can’t be a lawyer looking like that (probably).
