ayascytheThings I never thought I'd be obsessed about, a short list:
football, superhero comics, French classic literature.
Fandoms that have ruined my life in the past years, a short list:
football RPS, The Avengers, Les Misérables.
Well, fuck me sideways and over the barricade.
In other not-so-new news: I AM SO FUCKING IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS DAMN MUSICAL/BOOK. It's basically the only thing that gets me through work lately and manages to lift up my mood (which has been shitty). Even though it's a lot of pain and angst and even I have to stop sometimes and just think: well, I guess I've finally found a fandom that is almost too depressing for me.
And I finally realised why the barricade boys give me so many emotions: they remind me too much of the Marauders and that is beautiful and painful all at once. Enjolras is James (the one everyone looks up to), Grantaire is Sirius (the one who secretly loves Enjolras like there's no tomorrow), Eponine is Lily (because even though she's not part of the gang, everyone knows her and through Marius, she somehow belongs) and Marius is Remus (the only one who gets out of it alive). Look, I know the comparison is weak, but it's just ... something about them. Those stupid, idealistic students who knew - but maybe never fully realised - what they were getting themselves into, dreaming of and fighting for a better tomorrow. They're the generation that was not allowed to happy and it's that pain, that loss, that reminds me so, so much of the Marauders in Harry Potter.
I also have a shitload of feelings about Enjolras in particular, as well as for Javert, but this is for another entry.
