Description
I dedicate this one to ~Voikkuinen - one of my best friends, an all-around amazing person!A couple of things about the drawing first:
- I know the propotions are all wonky - but I figured for a not-so-serious series like this, it's no use taking the time to redraw anything (I've tried to salvage what's salvageable in Photoshop, though).
- As you can see, my mental Enjolras has changed. Eek! I'm going to continue Spin the Bottle with the old design (if I find any time and energy to do so, that is) - but when I think of Enjolras nowadays, I usually see the ÅST version, for obvious reasons. However, as said, when drawing something not directly from any production, I don't want to try to draw any specific actor. So, this design of Enjy is a kind of a lovechild of ÅST!Enjy and my previous Enjy. I don't know if I like him enough to keep the design in the future, though. Maybe with a couple of changes...
So! E/R!
I confess: E/R moments, like the one Hadley and Ramin have in the 25th Ann., make my inner fangirl giggle a little.
But! Despite that, I'm not sure if I could be called an E/R shipper. You see, I think the pairing works the best in the canon way, unrequited (based on the book, I'm quite convinced Enjolras is asexual, so not too much hope there for R...). But, even though I can't see them as a romantic couple, I think Grantaire and Enjolras's relationship is very interesting, and Orestes Fasting, Pylades Drunk is one of my favourite chapters in the book. What can I say... I'm a sucker for sad endings, I guess!
Les Mis is not mine.

LOL. It's like... a) would never happen, but b) would look EXACTLY like this if it did! I love the sweatdrop of drunken/romantic intensity on Grantaire's brow, and Enjolras' utter shock. His world view just got a big crack in it, I think!

Ahhh, I ship them so much. Funny story, I was in the 2 volume, I think, of the book and I just flipped ahead to the 'Orestes fasting, Pylands drunk' because I was bored in the current chapter and wanted to know what was different between the musical and book. I was in school and in lunch and after I read 'Will you permit it?' I almost cried in front of my whole grade. I almost never cry.
Currently, Enjolras and Grantaire's death in the book, their death in the musical, and when they come back at the end to sing the reprise of 'Do you hear the people sing?' is the only time I'm moved enough to feel the need to cry. And that is why I feel I'm related to Javert.
P.S. I love that chapter! And Jean P. I love him every much.

NYT on koko kirja takana (miinus iha pieni pätkä Waterloota ku halus päästä eteenpäin tuttujen hahmojen kaa) ja lsdjaöglkjdasg äääääääääää ;_______________________________________________;
I agree, toi luku oli oikeesti ihan paras. Se pieni itku mitä olin tuhertanu Poninen kuolemast asti.. (PS MITEN MANSKI ON NIIN SOKEE. ,________, Ja välinpitämätön, hyväne aika! Toinen kuolee syliin ja se ajattelee vaa "OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO COSETTEN KIRJE COSETTEN KIRJE COSETTEN KIRJE" ja jättää toisen siihe lojumaa! ;n; ) ..räjähti valtavaks hyökyaalloks. Onneks meil ei ollu ketää kotona ihmettelemäs mitä oikee huudan.. :'DD Mut tuntu oikeest siltä ku ois menettäny läheisii ystäviii. ;___________; 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, huutoitku on aina paikallaan... Ei mutta oikeasti, aww, ihanaa, että oli vaikuttava kokemus!
Marius on kyllä yksi tomppeli yleensä.
Waterloon skippaamisesta ei voi moittia. Sitä harrastaa itse kukin. Oikeasti, miten se edes on siellä, miksi joku kustannustoimittaja ei kertonut vanhalle kunnon Victorille että tämä ei muuta kuin jarruttaa juonenkulkua...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jooo ýwy 
Se on. Sääliö on ihan paras ilmaus ilmentämään Mariusta X''D Mut se on todellaki silti ihan älyttömän ihana. <3
ú___________u Niin. Lupasin isälle lukee Waterloon ja selvittää miks se on niin tärkeä olla siellä. - Mulla viel on "lyhennetty" versio koko kirjasta mist ilmesest puuttuu tosiaa osa Waterloota - ja kai osa Empty Chairs at Empty Tablesii, koska iskä selitti aikanaan sen olevan kans pitkä ja täs se oli vaan vähä vajaa sivu. o__o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Joku kehtasi tänään dissata Metsäketo!Mariusta yhdellä foorumilla. Mitä ihmettä siinä muka on vikana, sehän on sääliöyden kulminoituma!
Minullakin on lyhennetty versio - mutta kyllä se Waterloo silti kiitettävän pitkältä tuntuu... 
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables kirjassa - mitä kohtaa nyt tarkoitat..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aijaa! :''O Niinpä, todellakin XD
JAA. XD Odotan mielenkiinnolla että saan jostain käsiini alkuperäisenpituisen version ja pääsen lukemaan kakan kulkemisesta Pariisin viemärissä!
..Empty Chairs etc tarkotan sitä miten Marius suree niit ystäviään oikee epätoivosesti parantuessaan pikkuhiljaa. Ja tota lyhennettyy versioo lukies tuntu ettei siit ollu ku sellane häivähdys, et se ohitettiin jotenki. Etenki ku isä oli kertonut, et Manski oikein rypee sit siinä surussaan ja et se on pitkä kohtaus kans, ni ihmettelin kirjan loputtua et "nii missä se kohta oli?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, aivan! Siinä lyhennöksessähän se menee suunnilleen että
Mariuksen isoisä: "Sinullahan oli läheinen ystävä?"
Marius: "Niin. Courfeyrac."
Mariuksen isoisä: "Miten hän jakselee?"
Marius: "Hän kuoli."
Mariuksen isoisä: "Okei."
Kyllä, syväluotaavaa ja vahvasti emotionaalista...
Aikanaan, kun luin Kurjia ekaa kertaa, ysiluokan vikoilla tunneilla koulussa... Äikänopettaja tuli siihen, riehui pitkät pätkät siitä että Kurjat on "ihana kirja täynnä ihania yllätyksiä ja se on niin ihanaa, kun Cosette ja Marius on siellä puutarhassa!" No, se puutarhahomma on söpöä... Mutta ne ihanat yllätykset? Hämmentää vieläkin. ;D

Love this drawing! e/R content is hard to find!
I gotta admit, even as a hardcore shipper of this pairing, I have a hard time getting myself to read fanfiction where Enjolras is written with a sexuality. I do believe romantic attraction is a possibility for him, but seeing how fiercely he's driven by his ideals, that would have to be very carefully played out ^^'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree with that. I see Enjolras as asexual, and quite aromantic, too... Of course, that can be debated, but that's how I see his character...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes, agreement with your opinion that unrequited E/R is best. A mutual relationship just wouldn't make any sense, would it?
Still, this picture makes me smile. Enj is like WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE and R just looks very fiercely intent. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
However hard fanfiction tries to make it make sense... Yeah, based on strictly the book, just not going to happen.
But thanks!

Ha, well, I've actually read some good E/R fics. Sometimes if they're very well-written and done believably, I can enjoy them, as a sort of escapism/what-if sort of thing.

lol enjolras
who is grantaire? i never figured out
"e/r" automatically makes me think "erik/raoul" which is very disturbing and completely irrelevant XD i think theres something wrong with me...

Grantaire's one of the revolutionary stundents. According to the book, he only hangs with them because he admires Enjolras, not because he believes in the revolution. In the musical, this attitude is usually shown by having Grantaire not take part to the fighting on the barricade, though he is there in the barricade scenes.
Recognising him! His first line in the show is before Red and Black, the "is Marius in love at last, I've never seen him ooh and aah" line. He's got a bottle with him in that scene, hence Enjolras saying "Grantaire, put that bottle down" to him. In Drink With Me, he has the "Drink with me to days gone by/Can it be you fear to die?/Will the world remember you when you've gone/Could it mean your death means nothing at all?/Is your life just one more lie" part. In the 25th Ann.... Well, check the song, check his interactions with Enjolras after that part, and maybe you can see where I got inspiration for this picture.
Never unsee. XD

ok thanks
i'll just have to watch the show again!

._.' That's the only chapter I've read in the book... X3 I just wanted to compare what happens in the musical and the anime to what happes in the book.. X3 Awesome job though, I like this Enjolras!~ ^o^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't even remember what happens to them in the anime... But it wasn't like the book, was it?
But thanks so much! Glad to hear you like my new design! I'll still have to do some changes, I'm not 100% happy myself... But I'm keeping the vest, I think. I'm just so tired of the standard blingy one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was extremely simmilar, moreso than the musical, but still different. And yeah, a little altering... But it looks great!~ ^o^

FINALLY! I have to confess, I'm a bit of a Grantaire/Enjy shipper and, I have to agree with our 'inner fangirl' -- the chemistry between Ramin and Hadley at the 25th Anniv. Concert was incredible...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Their faces are the greatest! I love this series!
And I'm with you about liking E/R moments, but not being able to ship it! E/R is, in my mind, doomed to have a sad ending. The moment they're on the same level has to be the moment they die or I think Grantaire would realize he doesn't actually love Enjolras, just the idealized version of him in his mind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My thoughts exactly - you just have such a good way of putting them into words, unlike me!

Noniin, sieltä se tuli!
OOoh, Enjy näyttää ihanalta tässä! (ei sillä, ettei Granttiskin!) Asennot =
Ja eiiiiikä, rakastan sitä miten piirrät HOUSUJA! Se on taito!
Enjy näyttää tässä myös hyvin ilahtuneelta... XD
PS. Hyvää joulua!!

Enjolras does not look like he's happy with this.
As for E/R, as I told another dA user over on facebook, who, if she sees this, I'm sure she'll drop in, I can not see it being canon with Enjolras remaining canon. And besides, Grantaire would never want to drag Enjolras down, when what he loved so much was watching him fly.
But, I'm not going to rant at you. But just know that I have an essay length list of reasons it wouldn't work. Same with Erik and Christine.
But, that's just my two cents. *le shrug*

ahem *drops in even if is the wrong gal* I vote for the different takes on Enjolras for each person who reads the book/sees musical.

Hi Ace! You are actually EXACTLY who I had in mind, since you're one of the few people I can trust over there, and I don't like getting into arguments with people I don't like!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So you don't mind arguing with friends?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't even mind playing devil's advocate to get a good debate out of someone! When it's serious, like a lot of what's going on over there right now, I want nothing more to stop it.
But if it's just about who Christine belongs with, or whether Cosette's old dress is better than her new one, I will be on the scene, debating the other side, just for the heck of it.
