“the thing is that you could photoshop chris fleming into any picture of a prog rock band and he’d just look like he’d belong there” – camille making an extremely true statement
The Hunchback of Notre dame soundtrack grabbed us by the soul with that first vocalization of AH-AH-AAAAH, AH-AH-AHHHHH and didn’t let go for the entire 95 minutes.
we talk a lot about how enj and R are so so different, but we don’t talk that much about how in some ways they’re really quite similar:
- the whole endless chatter thing. like dear god, once they get started on their Topic of Choice they’ll never shut up
- R gets love and liberty and Not Math, and if that’s not enj in a nutshell
- they’re both 2000% in love with all their friends
- they’re both exceedingly intelligent (and with that, exceedingly NERDY in their own ways)
- they’re super charismatic in different ways; enjolras, inspiring; grantaire, entertaining (vicky even says he was tolerated among les amis for his sense of humor)
- each is passionately devoted to an entity; enj, to his ideals, grantaire, to enj himself
‘we wish you a merry christmas’ is a pretty good christmas carol - no jesus, no god, just some good wishes that quickly give way to a militant demand for figgy pudding and direct action in the form of a sit down protest
This is what Enjolras talks about when he gets drunk at the Nondenominational Les Amis Winter Holiday party.
