More on this when I’m not drunk and if, improbably, you’re interested.

]]>Now I think about it, I vaguely remember a bit (which I hope I’ve not wishfully made up) where Eponine does a “…you really don’t get it, do you?” face at Marius & co, and I like to think it’s imbued with slightly more than romantic unrequitedness and also “You boys are a bit clueless” more generally.
]]>Again this is based on my reading it at 16 and then drunkenly looking up fanfiction about the hot revolutionaries after seeing the movie, but I’m pretty sure that’s about right. There were definitely Actually Poor People around but I don’t think the excitable young men had any cash flow issues. Which is just darling.
