in the brick marius becomes a lawyer

but the french word for lawyer (“avocat”) is the same as the french word for avocado

what if we’ve got it wrong and victor hugo meant that marius became an avocado

I didn’t choose Les Mis life style, Les Mis burst into my life and barricaded me into the fandom with the promise of beautiful and talented revolutionaries.

  • Victor Hugo: Enjolras looks like a teenage girl and Grantaire is super ugly
  • Any Les Mis casting director ever: Haha no

Original publisher of Les Mis having "the feels"

From Albert Lacroix to Victor Hugo, 1862

I read, I read everything, I devoured your immense work, I have seen its crowing. I cried. I was reading out loud to my associates and, twenty, thirty times, suffocated by emotion, my voice broken, believing I was witnessing the agony of a loved one, I had to stop, to interrupt my reading, and my associates as well could not contain any further their feelings which brought them to tears. Poor Jean Valjean!

“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in—what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”

—Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
