Cw: death, warfare, descriptions of injury,

Put on your mourning clothes, lads, it’s time for THE FRENCH REVOLUTION (aka time for everyone to die). Bravo to an old man, live slug reactions, an isekai’d Marius and Fs in the chat for our bestest gal.

Cw: police brutality, description of injury, death, suicidal ideation, disassociation, warfare, emotional manipulation in a relationship, 

We build the WORLD’S STRONGEST AU to start this (unfortunate rerecord episode). The barricades are up and (surprise!) we’re already facing death. Enjolras shows us what leadership means to him, Hugo has a lot of hope for the future (yikes), and Marius tests our patience as he goes to find his death. WHO-HOO! EEEE!!

Nemo does some live foley work as we BUILD A BARRICADE! That’s right! Furniture is turned upside down! Cobblestones are uprooted! Hugo is a misogynist! There are tanned, sexy dockworkers and pale twinks, and Javert wishes he had the hands of a linen-maid!

In a strange turn of events, it’s back to in-person recordings as we get the history of the Corinthe, including an excellent chef, a new old man we love (RIP), some new Hugolian women, before we head over to the Brunch Before the Revolution where we drink some brandy-stout-absinthe cocktails.

Cw: death mention, coloniser apologism, depressing British politics, 

Doctor Javert reveals their real name, and Stevie airs some quality, freshly minted fanfic. And then it’s time for a Hugo essay. This time it’s about riots and insurrection. There’s a lot of “Hugo what?” and “:( Hugo, yeah,” and “oh Hugo you naive fool…” as we ask where was Hugo on January 6th?

The barricade boys meet for brunch and prinks before going to Lamarque’s funeral, but who cares about that, it’s time for Marius to be sad (again!) Also, Mabeuf is here, and it’s only downhill for him . Nemo is elated, Stevie is devastated.

Cw: dysfunctional / emotional abusive family, 

Some distance made the heart grow fonder, right? Our unexplained absence was just method acting for this chapter, in which Marius returns to beg his daddy for money. There’s some funky gender, some inability to be sincere and what people will do for inheritance.

Cw: threatened violence against a woman, antisemitism (?), slavery, threatening suicide, references to domestic abuse

A totally normal amount of time has passed since our last episode, don’t even worry about it. Marius is back, back again to our unending pleasure, and he continues to hate crime our girl Éponine right in time for the attack on Rue Plumet, and we conceptualise our new favourite bit: The Drag House of Javert.
