thank you for the tag @albonoooo <333

star sign: leo (attention whore signs 4 the win)

favourite holiday: my neighborhood does neighbor day every year and that’s a solid percentage of my favorite childhood memories. my neighborhood is very very close (very much so an “it takes a village” mentality) so i grew up with essentially twenty aunts and uncles. and also like ten dogs and thirteen vaguely cousin-esque figures on my block. anyways it’s like a massive potluck barbecue thing, it goes from like noon to whenever the last person heads in (which can be quite late). think like. potluck barbecue to casual day drinking to big bonfire w smores as the day goes by. as a kid i spent the whole day roaming the neighborhood and coming back every so often to grab food from the tables before heading off again. as an adult i got to get drunk on seltzers with a bunch of 50 somethings and it was incredible

last meal: omg it was my last ohio meal… i got it from this really special like local version of sonic’s (like a drive up food place). they make their burgers w a little bit of brown sugar and mashed banana (they’re the best burgers i’ve ever had). so i had a double hamburger w fries and a mint shake w brownie spindled in. if you’re ever driving through ohio PLEASE hit me up to get this place’s name it’s GLORIOUS. 1980s pricing (admittedly 80s portions too lol). neon signs everywhere. what i will miss the most

current favourite musician: i tend to just hit play on my liked songs so whatever i liked most recently gets played wayyyy more. a lot of the backseat lovers rn

last music listened to: mama’s gun by glass animals (BANGER OF A SONG!!!)

last movie watched: the muppet christmas carol i think . yeah according to letterboxd that lmfao

last tv show watched: i just binged monarch: legacy of monsters w my parents (amazing godzilla tv show but godzilla’s only in it for like. 10 minutes total lol. gay people <3) and then we started lockwood & co tonight on a whim

last book/fic finished: the invisible library by genevieve cogman !!! so good. librarian spy thieves…

last book/fic abandoned: oh gosh. i am such a completionist that i don’t think i ever leave books unfinished. technically i won’t be able to finish the masked city (the sequel to the invisible library) bc it belongs to the library and i am moving. but i will be picking it back up as soon as i have a library card in my new area so? does that even count? yeah i don’t really dnf things

currently reading: the masked city by genevieve cogman technically. lol. i’m trying to read at least a page a day in january. some days that means literally reading a page other days it’s reading 300. since i started the masked city like four days ago ive only made it through 30 pages bc moving is a nightmare so.

last thing researched for writing/art/hyperfixation: hm. technically for the last thing i like posted that would be the drug testing guidelines for f1 (tldr fun fact party drugs are fine out of competition). i read like. 60 pages of legalese. and a bunch of medical stuff and then several wikipedia pages and guides for athletes. the last wikipedia article i opened was for NATO and i have no idea why LOL

favourite online fandom memory: i have the memory of a goldfish… i’m also pretty sure f1 is the first time i’ve been involved w a fandom like. as it’s happening. i’m usually a latecomer . i did enjoy whatever the fuck went down w supernatural and putin that was fun second hand (literally thru a groupchat bc i was in my significantly less terminally online era aka i was in college)

favourite old fandom you wish would drag you back in/have a resurgence: newsies (1992) my beloved… i plotted out a fic that would stretch over like. 40 years. i went INSANE on historical accuracy research. and then i got depressed… someday my magnum opus (slice of life polyamory through turn of the century nyc) will come to fruition

favourite thing you enjoy that never had an active or big fandom, but you wish it did: i feel like there’s been a million times i’ve walked out of a movie (or finished a book, or a tv show) and gone to ao3 and then it has like. 4 works. the rivers of london series by ben aaronovitch only has like . 1k fics on ao3. and not a lot of ppl posting on tumblr. so maybe that?

tempting project you're trying to rein in/don't have time for: all of them tbh… runners au really (it’s spawned into like three different fics of plot lines Plus an epistolary type companion…). i literally constantly come up w ideas (usually hyper specific aus) all the time ask dees it’s a PROBLEM for me. bc i have no time for any of them…

no pressure tags if u wld like <3 @userkritaaay @leclercenjoyer @drivestraight @oscarpiastriwdc @eyes-likepilotlights (i have not paid a ton of attention to who has done this/been tagged sorry)

#tag game #wow i’m like so long winded lol. sorry!!!!!!!!! leo moment #or smthn .

Linger

Episode • 1/8

Mobile Masterlist •

♡ ☾ ✐

Authors note• bro this is so long I’m so sorry I’m breaking it into parts for u (I HATE MY LIFE)

Warnings• mentions of death, language

Songs• something - the Beatles/ With love, Vincent - Murray Gold/ she’s so lovely - beach house

•Na Jaemin remembers the exact moment he first laid his eyes on Y/N Y/L/N.

•He was standing by his locker on the first day of sophomore year

•laughing with Jeno and Haechan about their new math teacher

•when she walked past him with two other girls, smiling and holding some books in her arms.

•Jaemin will tell anyone that listens that this was the first time he felt the air knocked out of his lungs

•He remembers thinking that she was the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen.

•He didn’t know who she was; he had never seen her before (he would remember) (sike he’s stupid)

•yet he knew that he would marry that girl.

•he was worried bc he didn’t know who tF she was, but don’t worry bc the second time he ever saw her was maybe 6 minutes later

•he walked into his 4th period Honors English 10 class, and she was talking to the teacher across the classroom, before moving and sitting down in the first empty seat she saw.

•Jaemin didn’t know what to do

•his new mystery dream girl was in his class.

•Should he sit next to her?

•Should he just ignore her and talk to her later?

•what is gonna wear?

•is he gonna cry?

•Jaemin didn’t have much time to decide

• a mere 10 second delay was all it took for three boys (also on the football team with Jaemin) to enter the room and wrap their arms around his shoulder

•ushering him over to an empty table in the back while showcasing their excitement about being in the same class together.

•Jaemin tried not to show his disappointment, and instead gave one of his usual, dazzling smiles (ya know the one!) while joking along with them

•trying to forget about the mystery girl (and the excitement he got when he learned her name during roll call)

•It was then that Na Jaemin’s and Y/N Y/L/N’s rolls in their story were set in stone.

•He would be the popular boy that everyone knew, but didn’t really know

•and you would be the quiet girl that only a few, special people knew of, but those people were your closest friends.

•And over the course of the next two years, it would stay that way. •Jaemin, secretly pining for you

•and you, thinking the beautiful boy as untouchable.

•That would, however, change, on one god forsaken, cloudy Friday.

•A Friday that would forever be ingrained in Jaemins memory as the day he sealed his lonely fate in the world

•and the day he lost his true soulmate

•before he even talked to her.

•If Haechan’s persistent moaning and groaning about school wasn’t enough

•the weather was gloomy and cloudy

•and anyone with eyes could tell that rain was to be expected. •Jaemin, secretly, didn’t mind.

•Although he would never share it, he loved the rain.

•What he did mind, was his friends continuous bitching.

•”Hyuck, shut up,” -Renjun, 2020

•I mean he wasn’t even paying attention to the group, too preoccupied w his sketch book, sometimes glancing up at a girl that sat across the school yard, before looking back down at his sketch book (spoilers for something I’m writing??? Hehe you’ll never know hehe)

•all Jeno did was MenTion that rainy weather meant football practice would be cancelled

•hyucks smile was BaCk

•Jaemin was not impressed

•okay the conversation went something like this

“Damn Na, why are you looking at me like how my mom looks when my report card come in?” -full sun

•You literally insulted football to my face.” -nana

•haechan let out a loud laugh

•at Jaemin’s expense

•“you don’t know the ups and downs of High-school football” -nojam and injunnie

•also at Jaemins expense

•due to an ongoing joke that Jaemin reminded their friend group of the teenage redhead from riverdale

•Na Jaemin was so upset, he didn’t even eat his fries.

•”I wouldn’t care so much if I wasn’t the fucking captain of the team, hyuck. I mean, I gotta hold you responsible to a certain degree, you’re the fucking quarterback!” -Na Jaemin

•someone bully him

•so as that is happening, 2/3 of the missing members of their group come in HOT

•I mean literally

•they’re breathing heavily and everything

•acting like they just ran a mf marathon

•jisung YEETS his bag in the table (covering Renjuns sketchbook, which annoyed the fuck out of the older boy, but really who cares)

•”Guys guys guys! You will never guess who we just saw in the library!” -Mochi

•”lemme give it a try; mark?” -bitch ass Chinese bitch (renjun)

•”No! We saw Mar- wait what? How’d you know?” -child prodigy Zhong Chenle

•“Uhh, maybe because he texted in the group chat that he was gonna be in the library?” -nojam makin a comeback

•”Okay okay, but - can I have a fry? - did hew shay who hedt be wif?”

•”Swallow your fucking food first, le.” -smart boy you guess who

(Whew are y’all getting sensory overload like I AM)

•“He said, did he say who he’d be with, though? No, he didn’t, but guess who WE saw him with,” -jisung bringing the T E A.

•no one answers

•Chenle and jisung give each other the “we’re friends w dumbasses” look

•“Y/n! He was sitting with y/n!”

•oh shit

•Everyone quickly turned their heads to Jaemin

•tell me why this boy was glaring at the table like it messed w his daughter

•Out of everyone ever, the only people who knew about Jaemins secret crush was the 5 boys sitting with Jaemin

•and the one sitting in the library with said secret crush.

•They didn’t even really know, they just knew that they once saw Jaemin slip something like a note into Y/n’s locker junior year

•and Jaemin made up a bullshit excuse that it was something for class that no one

•-not even Jeno, who always trusted his friends -

•believed.

•”why aren’t you mad”

•”you should be angry”

•literally all of the present boys were THROWING it on jaemin

•and naturally -

•he deflected

•”bro I’m not even upset, I don’t like y/n!”

•lmao K

•now at this point

•the boys thought they were helping

•really

•it was innocent they promise.

•really how were they to know what was going to happen

•so hyuck had JOKED and said that if Jaemin didn’t like u, he wouldn’t mind hurting u

•it was super harmless

•unTil

•some other popular ppl walked over RIGHT as Haechan said that

•and he was like oh fuck

•but silently

•bc Haechan knew what Jaemin was like

•if it was just their lil group still, Jaemin would have told hyuck to fuck off

•but Jaemin was terrified to lose his reputation

•he was an insecure boy

•he would have really done anything to keep his position as most popular boy in school

•so when one of his jock friends dares Jaemin to get you to date him until prom, get ur virginity the night before, and then ditch u at prom and tell you it was all a dare in front of everyone and that he never liked you

•well

•he stupidly agrees

•the dreamies agree with it

•only bc they don’t actually think Jaemin will last

•they think he’ll back out last minute and stay w you

•and that Jaemin will finally get u

•wishful thinking

•you were failing math

•it’s not that you were stupid, you weren’t

•you just R E A L L Y hated math

•and your mom was so upset w your grade

•my girl forced u to get a tutor

•good thing u knew mark

•he agreed to meet w you in the library Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s at lunch

•and Thursday’s if you needed it

•thank god 4 mark

•everything was going Super Fine™️

•up until you both look up when you hear squealing and the sound of someone smacking someone else

•and there’s jisung and Chenle,

•staring at you both

•and squealing

•and smacking each other on the arms

•before just plain running out

•”if I don’t go after them, they’ll tell all of our friends that we’re marrying each other, so i should go.” -Mark fucking Lee

•so you’re walking towards your locker to put all of your math work in it,

•and when you open it, a lil note falls out and flutters to the ground

•your smile: 3% -> 95%

•honestly you were kinda having a shitty day

•so you were so happy to see a note in your locker

•you had been receiving love notes since you were in sophomore year

•you don’t remember exactly when during the year

•but one day, they were just there

•you were excited to add another one to your box

•this one wasn’t big, it just said “Your Personality makes me want to be a better person! I hope you have a beautiful day, sunshine!”

•the rim of the paper had squiggly yellow lines, and the bottom had a poorly drawn sunshine, with a heart, like always

•you didn’t know who your secret admirer was

•but you wish you did

•u lowkey loved them

•you’re still smiling about it as you walk into your 7th period math class

•and the note was found at lunch, like an hour ago

•they make you so happy

•you silently sat down in your seat, and stared off into space with a dreamy look on your face

•and THATS how Jaemin knew you got his note

•you always had that look when you read his notes

•not that you knew it was from him

•it made him so happy

•even if you two had never talked before, he still freaking loved that he could make you smile

•Jaemin wasn’t happy for long

•he tried not to let you notice him staring at you in class,

•it was kinda hard, seeing as you two literally sat next to each other

•he couldn’t believe he had to break your heart

•he wanted to die lowkey lol

•but he had to do it

•not really, but really

•so he took a deep breath

•and opened his mouth

Continued here

so i picked up an ember in the ashes at the library this afternoon and i just finished it...

also i made friends with the librarians, they were so so so so nice to me and the one even walked me over to the YA section when I asked for directions and she was like “honestly I basically live in this section, i hope you find what you’re looking for.” honestly, cannot wait to go back tomorrow and be like hello it’s me i found exactly that because I’m done and need the rest of the series ASAP! But it was so great, they were also so shocked that I, a 24 year old young person, was interested and EXCITED to get a library card and i was definitely about to cry with how excited I was and I just love meeting people who GET THAT.

anyWAY SPOILERS FOR AN EMBER IN THE ASHES BELOW

Okay, first of all, I actually really liked Helene’s character and I was totally shipping her with Elias from the beginning. I mean, homegirl is a fucking badass--only girl besides the Commandant--in the school, totally holds her own and can defend herself. (I mean there’s the whole brainwashed into violence and following orders thing) but like they make a really good fucking team and I honestly did feel a little bad for her bc yeah she was like this dude’s number 1 for years and then someone else just came along... AND YES I KNOW THIS PLOT IS SO OVERUSED OR WHATEVER BUT I HAVEN’T LIKED THE CHILDHOOD LOVE INTEREST SINCE GALE IN THE HUNGER GAMES SO LIKE CUT ME SOME SLACK-- and i know yall aren’t going to give me slack for picking Gale over Peeta, believe me my whole life has been torture because of that stance, just save your breath....

But in the same regards, I also liked Keenan’s character and his whole Laia romance thingy. It’s nice when characters develop other relationships and slowly find their way to one another. Adds to the burn, and we all know I like a slow burn.

I was so so thankful to be back in first person after reading The Night Circus earlier this week.... I just really enjoy being directly implanted in the character’s heads and especially for a book that went back and forth between the two perspectives and then intertwining them, I was thankful for that insight.

I’m not going to lie though, the beginning had me pushing through a bit and I get it, again, this world needed so much exposition to really explain who was who and how they got to where they were... and starting off with the raid was great, but again, sometimes I just need to simmer in the world for roughly 100 pages before I start to become immersed in it. It’s very rare that I’m hooked off the bat, but I also like to give everything a chance, so ya know! in this case it worked! At first I thought I’d one and done this book, but now I’m super curious as to where the rest of the series is going to read so you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be tearing through it on my DAY OFF TOMORROW!!!!! Can’t wait.

I also could’ve seen Elias’ secret tunnel (secret tunneeeeeeel, secret tunnneeeeeel) being aid to them later in the story, called the fact that she could bring it to Mazen and then when that failed, that they would eventually escape through it, but oh well, I love me a secret tunnel and it’s nice bc Elias really did spend a lot of time digging it so I’m really glad all that work didn’t go to nothing.

Um also I love Laia’s transformation. I often feel like even timid characters are like yeah I’m going to fight, but I really loved Laia’s struggle with cowardice and fear. I liked seeing her debate with herself of what to do, having her brother’s voice in her head guiding her, asking herself what her parents would do and if she would even live up to that. It was all refreshing in a way because I feel like that period in other books either doesn’t exist or is very short lived, like maybe a chapter. I liked that the first book of this series is solely her trying to figure out if she wants to save or be saved. I also just really like her in general, she’s spunky but I also like that she doesn’t annoy me... you know what I’m saying? If you read YA you get me, right?

Also was a fan of the fact that they’re not 17 (at least they didn’t read like that, I’m feeling like early twenties, IDK maybe I’m wrong). I mean I am all for 17 year olds freaking out about which guy to choose and then having to save the world I. EAT. THAT. SHIT. UP!!!! But with darker themes mentioned in this book, I did enjoy the level up on the age spectrum.

But yeah, overall I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I had seen a tiktok saying that it was disappointing and a DNF for that particular reader, but honestly couldn’t be me. Yeah, tad slow at the beginning, there’s a lot to understand to understand the brutality of this reality, but I mean I’m glad I stuck with it, because those last 200 pages, oooooooh boy they flew by.

I’m interested to see where Elias’ and Laia’s relationship goes in terms of *wiggles eyebrows* their chemistry, because boy oh boy i am hereeeeee for it. Especially since so much of this book was like her: I HATE YOU him: her golden eyes were looking at me and that’s all that matters... and they’ll both be in new positions in this world and I’m interested to see them navigate it.

Do recommend if anyone is questioning it! (not that you’d read this all and then be like oh maybe i should after I literally just told you EVERYTHING) but whatever! And as always, I am always down for discussions, especially since I’m tearing through books right now and my friends are like we can’t keep up pls emily stop. hahaha sucks for them, escapism for the win! ok goodnight, gotta sleep so I can wake up and start storm and fury while waiting for my pick ups to be ready!!!!!

xoxoxox

#an ember in the ashes #emily reads books #laia x elias #me reading enemies to lovers is becoming a brand and im very high key here for it #and completely unapologetic #in the words of no doubt its my life dont u forget #xoxoxo #goodnight #an ember in the ashes spoilers #an ember in the ashes review #very sarcastic and informal review

Librarian!AU with Jinyoung

moodboard link

Group: GOT7

Member: Park Jinyoung

Genre: fluff, romance

Type: Bulletpoint AU

Word Count: 1.4k

so Jinyoung works at the library’s circulation desk part time nearby a college campus

most of the time, it’s lil old ladies working there

highkey the type that everyone oogles over because he’s so handsome

like bro….

when Jinyoung was hired…….

it’s almost as if people started to come to the library more often…..

gee

I wonder why when the light hits just right and he’s got on his circle glasses with a book in hand

we love an educated man

anyways

to the actual librarian aspects

he’s actually really resourceful, especially to all the college students who come in and don’t know where the fuck to start on a paper that is literally due that night

but that ain’t gonna stop him from being like “you put this on yourself”

@Yugyeom

100% hunts people down about overdue books

the other librarians tell him it’s fine

but he remembers faces REALLY well

Jinyoung: “this library card is literally expired”

Jinyoung: “you’re the one that owes those overdue disks”

Jinyoung: “you owe 69 cents”

some student: “ah, you know what that means”

Jinyoung: “yeah, I do—get out”

Jinyoung: “Jackson, I’m not lending this out to you until you return Twlight: New Moon” :)

stupid people come in all the time but he knows it can be a lot worse

but like…… jesus christ

some of these people….... are just testing him

speaking of which, Jaebum def comes in to bother him all the time

not like bother bother, but like…….. bother

and with Jaebum comes the rest of got7 and that’s chaos alone

imagine Bambam in a quiet space

that’s right

you can’t

their visits to the library almost always end with them getting kicked out by Jinyoung himself

anyways there isn’t much to the job

checks people’s books out, organizing books, and that’s pretty much it

he probably organizes all the stuff he has to do and then chills at the front desk

80% of the time he’s reading a book there

it’s a real convenient job for Jinyoung, especially since he really likes quiet spaces

because everyone’s like studying or something, it makes him want to be productive too

and yeah people are awful

but at least they’re quiet (for most of the time)

so where do you come in?

you come in to study nearly every weeknight

there’s just so much work you have to do

and it’s insane

you need like a quiet space to work and the library’s just………

there

remember what I said about Jinyoung remembering faces?

he knows yours

most of the time, when he’s working, you’ll be at the table in the corner, working away

he admires your work ethic

(even though sometimes you’ll watch the strangest Youtube videos whenever you take a break)

it was kind of like this for a while

he would just be working and so would you

so what happens?

you lost your wallet

**cue you internally screaming as you rummage through your bag**

you literally have like a mental breakdown as you were back at your home

that literally had everything you needed

your ID card

bus pass

insurance cards

even the fucking buy 6 get 1 free for the froyo you love to get

now you have to start all over

you’re freaking the fuck out

and all of your friends tell you the same thing “retrace your steps and if you don’t find it, let the companies all know the situation”

so that’s where you start

you literally look through every nook and cranny as you retrace your steps

the last stop is at the library

you’re literally crawling on top and below the table, searching for the wallet you lost

Jinyoung’s working at the desk, as per usual

he’s literally just watching you scramble around

okay

not like that

but like no one is really here and you’re moving around so quickly

anyways

after like 15 minutes of searching, you walk up to the desk

you’ve literally been coming here for months and this is literally the first time you’ve walked up to the desk

Jinyoung acts like he doesn’t see you heading his way, making it look like he’s invested in his book

You: “ahem”

he looks at you with his glasses on the bridge of his nose

You: “has anyone brought up a wallet?”

when you were here earlier, Jinyoung may or may not had noticed a little wallet falling out of your bag as you packed your things to leave

Jinyoung: “I saw one earlier, but I’ll check if it’s still here”

you just wait at the desk, tapping on it as Jinyoung goes through the lost and found bin

he walks back up to the desk and gently places it down

Jinyoung: “I’m not sure if it is yours, so you should check it—”

you look overjoyed at the familiar patterned wallet

You: “thank you, thank you, thank you—I owe you my life”

you’ve grabbed ahold of his arms and your eyes sparkle at him like a savior

he’s a bit flustered from your thanks and smiles at you, as you continue to ramble

You: “you don’t understand, you literally saved from doing like 900 things to get all the stuff back; I will literally pay for your dinner or something. I literally am so grateful—”

you cut yourself off, realizing what that sounded like

You: “nevermind, cross that out, I’m so sorry, I’ll just leave or something before I look like an even bigger idiot—”

Jinyoung just chuckles at your rambling

Jinyoung: “sure”

You: “wait what”

Jinyoung has nothing to lose

you’re cute—he’s noticed you for a while

one date can’t hurt

Jinyoung: “I’ll let you take me out”

so you two set up a date

y’all went to dinner like you said

but, like a gentleman, he didn’t let you pay

Jinyoung: “you can pay on the next date”

dating Jinyoung is as cute as it sounds

there’s lots of cute, study dates when he’s working and you have things you have to do

but now you sit closer to the desk

and he spends a majority of the time near your table

he’s not a big PDA person, but with the look in his eyes anyone can tell y’all are together

anyways

it’s not just at the library, but y’all also chill at places like cafes and bookshops too

speaking of book shops

y’all go bookshop hopping a lot t

hey’re cute to go to

oooo AND he’ll probably read to you

imagine your head in his lap and his fingers are going through your hair and his voice

y’all

his voice

anyways

speaking of home dates

imagine him cooking for you

hmmmm

he would def do that bc Jinyoung is such boyfriend material

straight up he’s the ideal son-in-law

he’s smart

attractive

talented

well-mannered

I can literally go on for DECADES

okay but there’s like this weird switch

he’s usually so mature around you

but like..... as time goes

he’s also lowkey a child with you

like yes this man is domestic as hell but then again…..

there was this one time you were hanging with 97 line

y’all were making fun of him (out of love)

**cue Yugyeom singing shake it shake it for me**

(apparently he and Jaebum wrote a song in high school together and now none of got7 will ever let it go)

Jinyoung proceeded to glare at him

and you just kept laughing

two weeks later and he’s still pouty about it

You: come onnnnnnn

You: baby pls look at me

Jinyoung: why don’t you just keep singing instead

You: omg let it go

OOOH

SPEAKING OF SINGING

karaoke dates are the bomb

they get even more lit with got7

the minute Big Bang is on, it gets real crazy

last time y’all got kicked out

because Youngjae kept running into the wall from dancing

and BamBam was on the table

but each time you go, Jinyoung will sing a ballad and you’re 100% whipped

it’s fine

y’all are both whipped for each other

he really takes care of you

and vice versa

y’all have a system

in summary: lots of fun dates and support and love for each other

So I'm writing a VLD fic

@comfortably-chaotic-mind I'm tagging you bc you know this fic and I'm sure you'll want to hear this lol plus this is kind of a funny story...sorry for the long post though

Everybody else, I'm very very very sorry you have to put up with this but I'm really upset about this right now so I gotta get this out

Basically, Keith's dad was super close with the latest Admiral of the Galaxy Garrison. Like I'm not sure what happened with them (maybe graduated together?? or the admiral taught him some life lesson??? idk) but Kogane trusts Dos Santos with his LIFE okay

And he basically says that Dos Santos is Keith's godfather in his will

So when Kogane dies...Dos Santos shows up and is like bitch u ain't takin this boi to the home

So Keith becomes like the housecat-ghostboy-orphan of the Galaxy Garrison. He likes sitting with the old people, climbing in the rafters, and sneaking around to scare the shot out of the cadets.

He's also an avid reader. (A personal headcanon of mine but blown up to a massive proportion.)

Like I mean this boy eats books for breakfast lunch and dinner. If he's awake, he's reading. He listens to audio books to fall asleep half the time (the other half of the time he's blasting Disturbed or FOB or something edgy like that).

This boy has read every book that could even VAGUELY be considered interesting.

Okay, let me just tell you:

The average school library has a ratio of between 10 and 20 books per student.

Let's say the Garrison has 5000 students (just larger than West Points cadet count) and their ratio is small at 10. That's 50000 books in the library.

Probably 10000 are extra copies or second/third/twelfth editions of the same books (going by the ratio of 1/5 that my school had). That's still 40000.

I'm gonna be nice and say that 500 are reference books, another 500 are random (small, informational or entertaining, don't fit a special category), 25000 are nonfiction, and 14000 are nonfiction.

Keith is almost 13 at this point in the story.

As an avid reader myself, I started reading at four. Keith started at five in the story.

I was six when I read my first 200pager. So was Keith.

So let's say he started on the smallest books in the Garrison at age 5. That's 500 in a year. About a book and a half a day.

Boom. Down to 35500 books in the library.

(As we all know, I hope, the library will rotate books, causing the number to fluctuate a bit. But let's say for the sake of math that it stays this way)

His dad already gets supplies from the Garrison (because he lives on Garrison property shhh it makes sense) so he starts asking for more books because Keith is just eating them up.

So the countdown to 15000 starts.

This is where I should explain that I literally lived down the road from a small town library until I was ten years old. I know what it's like to have access to books. I went to the library with my uncle every saturday afternoon. The librarian knew my name and used to come to my soccer games when he could. He was my best friend.

I remember when I was about seven I started getting frustrated because I would go through all my books in the first few days of the week and then be out until Saturday. I started taking my bookbag with me. I made my uncle (in his teens) take one, too. We crammed anywhere from thirty to sixty books into those bags and carried more with us.

The only reason we got away with it (because there was a 20 book limit) was because we had six library cards between the three of us--i had mine and my mom's, my uncle had his, his best friends, and my grandma's, and the library dude was nice enough to lend us his if we needed it.

So yeah. On a good week, I got about seventy books. That's ten books a day.

(I should explain that I still went to school. I went to public school with plenty of kids who hated reading enough for all of us. I had teachers who either insisted I was some kind of genius--i wasnt--or banished me to the hallway for reading Jane Austen during reading time when they specifically said to pick something at the class reading level. I know this life. It's kinda sucky.)

So yeah. Ten books a day, seven days a week, for fifty-two weeks. I got through the entire small-town library (4000 books) in just over a year.

Yes, I even read the reference books. Yes, I had to ask for help with some of the more sophisticated books in the library. (Yes, I skipped a few of the research books. I was eight. Sue me.)

What I'm saying is that it is realistic for me to have Keith reading 5 or 6 thousand books a year for eight years, because in this story he has LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE TO DO.

His dad homeschools him without schooling him at all (unschooling, look it up on wikipedia--yes I know it probably doesn't work like that, but it's my AU and I do what I want). Then his dad dies when he's just over eight and he's alone in the house for a year. Just books to keep him company.

Then (after meeting Sam Holt) he starts trekking out to the Garrison, creeping around the halls and camping out in the library when he feels like it.

He makes friends with the campus librarian. Professors give him books for his birthday. At twelve, he got Sam and Dos Santos to help him build a room onto the old shack so his books weren't just lying wherever in the house. The room has twelve bookcases (three on each wall) each with five shelves (60 shelves total) and full of books (about 2000 books total, give or take).

He doesn't socialize a lot (he's still Keith) but it's not that he doesn't want to. It's just that he's awkward (he's still KEITH). If people would stick around for a while (more than ten minutes), he's actually really cool and funny, even if he's a little defensive/shorttempered/oblivious/clueless.

(Just because you're smart and read a lot doesn't mean you understand everything. Just because you know how to make jokes doesn't mean you always catch them or that you understand idioms or innuendos or anything that isn't straight talk.)

His jokes are literature based. He uses sarcasm a lot even though half the time it comes out wrong. He identifies with both Darcy and Elizabeth on a spiritual level.

He has a room at Dos Santos' that has a bookcase full of composition notebooks, themselves full of notes on all the books he's read, little doodles of scenes he really likes, and jokey little summaries of long reference passages.

He's a nerd who never had to learn how to socialize with real people. He LIKES people. He's not a robot, and he doesn't automatically hate you on sight.

He's just been through a lot in his life, and he's still just a lonely little kid.

Anyway. Keith reads about twenty fiction/short books some days, four longer reference/textbook books other days. It varies. It took him six hours to get through Under the Dome, and there was one time he read eleven aeronautics manuals in eight hours and then passed out for fourteen, but mostly he takes longer for reference books/textbooks than fiction books/memoirs.

Also he's read the dictionary/thesaurus like forty times by the time he's thirteen and he shows ZERO sign of stopping. It's basically a religion at this point.

So let me break this down again:

Garrison library has 50,000 books. Minus 10,000 because they're copies/lame editions. That's 40,000 books.

1000 are reference books or random (small, informational or entertaining, don't fit a special category) books, 25000 are nonfiction/memoir/diagram based/school or lesson based, and 14000 are nonfiction.

Keith starts reading at five. His first five hundred are done when he's six--he starts on the next five hundred and finishes within months. His dad starts asking for larger shipments.

By the time Keith is seven, he's read 2000 books.

We're down to 38,000 books in the Garrison library.

Between seven and eight, he reads another 3000. Down to 35,000 books in the Garrison library.

A couple months later (500 books down, 34,500 to go) his dad dies. He's alone in the house for 10 months, only books to keep him company.

He reads another 4,000 books in this time. By the time he turns nine, he's reading at a high school level. 30,500 to go.

Sam visit on his ninth birthday. He brings more books, invites him to visit the Garrison sometime. The librarian could use some company.

Keith does.

By the time he's ten, he's read another 6,500 books. It's a really good year. 24,000 to go.

Age 10-11: 6,000 books. 18,000 to go.

Age 11-12: 5,750 books.12,250 to go

He's turning 13 in a few weeks. This year he has so far read 5,375 books. He wants to hit 5500 again. For the five year anniversary.

It's not a good year. He's not feeling great. He starts talking to Matt more than he used to. Matt pushes him a little. He says he can do it. Keith believes him. He's never lied to him before.

(That Keith knows of. What goes to his benefit is unnecessary knowledge for him.)

He hits 5,500. 6,750 to go.

This is where I am now.

Now by all accounts, there are a few notes I should make.

There is a portion of books at Keith's home that he has not read. They are books the librarian gave him because she knew he hadn't read them before they were getting rotated out for a new shipment. This is probably 500 books.

That makes the total 7,250.

Less than ten thousand.

He has read 33,250 books in eight years (ages 5 to 13). Average: 4156.25 books per year, 11.3 books per day.

I'm almost twenty and I read 55,383 books between the ages of 4 and 18 (between the first book I read at home and the last book I read before my graduation ceremony). Average: 3955.93~ books per year, 10.8 books per day.

I didn't have a lot of friends. I was bffs with every librarian I met/had. In 10th grade world history we had to give one cool/weird fact in an introductory assignment and I told them I had read every book in the school library. No one believed me. I told them I could prove it. She said go ahead.

"I have read every book in the school library. The librarian can vouch for me. They have not rotated their books since I was in eighth grade. My grandmother works here, so I know. There are exactly 17,488 books in the library, not including extra copies or "editions" like all they did was change two sentences in the intro that's hardly new information. But whatever. I started reading that year. I made a list of every book i read that year. There were 3272. That's 14216 to go--all of which were in the fiction and nonfiction sections. My grandmother checked them out. If you go into her records from that year and take that list and add it to my list from last year in 9th grade, you'll see that I read every single book. I started with the reference section that year and then went to the manga, then the nonfiction, then the historical fiction, then the fantasy fiction. I had already read most of the books in the fiction section. 6,791 out of 7,918 to be exact. That's 7425 to go. I'd also read 3577 if the 6298 nonfiction books. That's 3848 to go. Over the course of the last school year, which lasted exactly 42 weeks, I checked out 30 books every Monday and 50 books every Thursday. That's eighty books every week. Times 42, that's 3360. 488 left. I hung out with my grandmother while she worked over the summer. I kept my reading up, only for the first half. By the end of July--the 29th--I had read the rest. That's nine books a day every day. Don't believe me? Ask the librarian."

So the teacher did.

She put the librarian on speakerphone.

The librarian went on a full ten minute rant about how ridiculously difficult it was checking out fifty books at a time.

My history teacher wouldn't come within 2ft of my desk until after holiday break, and she didn't go into the library at all that year.

Moral of the story: IT IS TOTALLY LOGICAL/ACCEPTABLE THAT I HAVE KEITH READING OVER 30,000 BOOKS IN EIGHT YEARS IN THIS FIC OKAY PLEASE DON'T COME AT ME OVER THIS

#me #omg #mine #my post #long post #sorry for the rant #sorry for the spam #sorry for the long post #rant #my rant #reading #keith reads a lot okay #my fic #voltron fic #my vld fic that i'm writing

Hogwarts! Joshua

Anon requested: “can you write seventeen hogwarts au? Joshua is possible?”

Genre: fluff

Word Count: 2783

everyone knew about Joshua Hong

the perfect perfect

he was a fifth year Hufflepuff

same house and year as you

so you saw him often as you both shared classes

it came as no surprise when he was chosen as a prefect

but he was surprisingly cool, letting minor things go if it didn’t endanger anyone or if it was for special occasions

especially if they were his friends, he just couldn’t say no to them

everyone’s favorite prefect because he was so nice and liked giving warnings rather than punishments

caught out past curfew by a few minutes,

he’d show you a secret passage to getting back to the dorms without running into teachers

if you passed him on the train, he’d stop to compliment you after asking you how your summer went

and no surprise he knew the lady pushing the trolley around on a first name basis

and asking her how her family was and everything

and complimenting her uniform

she always slipped him chocolate frog cards he didn’t have for his collection

and he’d thank her and buy out half the trolley before sharing it with all the kids in the next few carriages

Joshua was good at everything, smart and friendly too

not a single person could find something wrong with the guy or criticize him in any way

no matter what house someone was in, they new Joshua Hong

because the guy did everything

perfect exam scores in charms, potions, DATDA, transfiguration, herbology

you name it, Hong Jisoo did well in it

and he was so nice to everyone and a gentleman wherever he went

holding open doors to classrooms for people or picking up fallen quills or books that people dropped and returning it to them with a small smile

one time a girl accidentally set the quill she was writing with on fire from a wayward charm

Joshua had quickly extinguished it with aguamenti and gave her a new quill

suffice to say, plenty of witches had crushes on him

and no one could hate the guy for anything

literally, if you tried hating him, Joshua somehow managed to make you like him

disliked him for being too smart?

he’d say he wasn’t really smart, he just tries hard to study his best and he has smart friends who show him how to do stuff

and then talk about some random episode of spongebob bc it’s Joshua

which plenty of people wouldn’t understand except the other muggle borns

he’d be a huge dork quoting random episodes and just being a meme

everyone was always asking him for advice or to look over their homework for them

and although he never lets anyone copy his

goody two shoes you know

he somehow had the time to always give advice to everyone and save their grade

he played as a chaser for Hufflepuff’s Quidditch team too

it wasn’t enough to be intelligent, he was athletic and dedicated too

spending even stormy days out in the field practicing long after some of his teammates had called it quits

looked damn fine in quidditch robes too yes

in his third year, he had led the Hufflepuff team to victory

scored 30 points in the last minutes before their seeker finally caught the snitch, bringing the score to 270-300

he was every teacher’s favorite too

they couldn’t help it

he was always offering to help out teachers with anything they may need

although he didn’t sit in the front of any of his classes

and he was too quiet to raise his hand to answer any questions sometimes

if a teacher ever made the mistake of assuming Joshua wasn’t listening to the question

they got roasted as Joshua Hong not only got the question right, but probably corrected some error they made in their lecture earlier

which he would only point out in the most respectful and polite way

“Professor, did you mean to say aconite or monkshood instead of mandragora?“

and if no one knew the answer to a question

all Joshua needed was a glance from the teacher and he’d have the correct answer ready to go

the boy sang in chorus too

his voice was heavenly

some magical entity had to have graced Joshua with every goddamn talent in the universe

he supposedly played guitar amazingly well

only his dorm mates knew though, he always packed his guitar in his trunk somehow

and brought it out to play sometimes

it always surprised everyone when they found out he was muggle born

like he was too good at everything wtf how have you only been doing magic for a few years

but no one dared say anything about it

bc he had so many friends from all the houses

say something mean about Joshua or just something even remotely critical

and like five different people will interject saying how he’s basically a human unicorn

and how dare you call Shua anything but the perfect prefect

and he could easily beat anyone in a duel if his friends dragged him into one

and probably profusely apologize while bowing at ninety degrees and helping bandage and heal any injuries he may have caused

it was theorized he might have a time-turner

how else could he get all his papers done and still manage quidditch practice and chorus?

and also reorganizing textbooks in the library with his wand while the librarian recommended him books he hadn’t read before since he had read many of them

and helping the kitchen elves by explaining the concept of lactose intolerance and gluten free and other things that helped people with dietary restrictions and food allergies feel comfortable eating all food

he also helped an elf who once tripped over the recently mopped floor

Madam Pomfrey was always glowing about Shua bc he always brought students who were sick flowers and books to read and always gave her chocolates

he also was often seen consoling random paintings and ghosts in Hogwarts and he knew all of them by their first names

and while some people wanted to hate Joshua

he could say a few words and any negative feelings you had toward him were gone

“You really deserved that win, you guys have been practicing so hard lately on the quidditch field, good job!"

"How did you you come up with a way to start your potions paper so well? I should be asking you to edit mine."

"you have to show me that spell you did the other day with the lights and confetti, I want to use it for a friend’s birthday.”

“My owl? Oh his name is Flufferson, I have a picture do you want to see? He’s probably somewhere flying around, enjoying the fresh air, the cutie.”

“I have a puppy at home, it’s a Maltese and I named it Sebongie, I think it’s a cute name."

on weekends, you could probably see Joshua buying sugar quills for some third years who had forgotten their silver sickles or bronze knuts

or in the common room teaching kids how to use his iPhone to watch YouTube and anime

always with his group of friends from all the houses

his group of friends was big, 13 of them in all

his best friends were Jeonghan from slytherin and Seungcheol from Gryffindor since they were all the same age

one time, Jeonghan had tried to prank some Hufflepuff students by hexing their book bags into releasing a bunch of little rubber snakes

but he was caught by Joshua

and Joshua made him apologize

you don’t mess with Joshua’s kids

the next day Jeonghan’s clothes kept dropping rubber snakes everywhere

"SHUA YOU BETTER FIX MY CLOTHES I CANT WALK INTO POTIONS WITH THESE THINGS WORMING THROUGH MY UNDERWEAR”

Joshua would hide his laughter behind his hand and then compose himself

“That should actually keep you awake in potions then."

and everyone around them would be dying from laughter and patting Joshua on the back

for a gentleman the guy knew how to be savage sometimes

ofc as a fifth year in Hufflepuff you knew Joshua

you even sat pretty close to him in charms

and although you couldn’t hate the guy

it gets low key annoying when your friends always act like his biggest fan

"Shua’s practicing down at the quidditch field, GET THE SIGNS GIRLS!"

"We have a transfiguration exam y'all what are you doing?"

"Supporting our Hong Jisoo, y/n. The quidditch match is next weekend and we want to beat the slimy smiles off of those Slytherins’ faces."

one day in charms the professor had to assign a partner project

naturally everyone paired up

and you’re like chill I’ll just ask

you look around and all your friends are already paired up

and of course you’re like great forever alone that’s me I need to get me an even number of friends…

"Y/n do you need a partner?” Joshua asks you from the seat two students down from you

and everyone goes quiet

because Joshua usually always partners up with one of his friends

and you look to his normal friend group

and see sure enough all of them have partners too

“Sure, Joshua.” You say scrunching your nose

at least you’ll actually have a partner who tries and doesn’t make you do all the work by yourself (LIKE LAST TIME COUGH COUGH YOUR FRIEND)

you both decide to meet at the library the next weekend to work on it

“OMG y/n Joshua never asks anyone outside his friend group. What if he likes you?!?!? You guys would be such a power couple ACK."

"Shut up.” you laugh and playfully hit your friend’s arm while packing your book bag

“I’m not pretty enough for everyone’s golden gentleman Joshua, he was just being nice because you all ditched me."

"I’m glad we did, make me the maid of honor at your wedding and thank me later."

when you reach the library, Joshua is already there talking to Jeonghan

"The girl in your charms class? Well whatever we can hang out next weekend. But Shua that assignment isn’t due in weeks… makes sense the both of you are smart aleks."

you clear your throat

"welp bye Joshua, oh and we’re all getting butter beer later at hogsmeade don’t forget."

Joshua laughs and waves Jeonghan goodbye

"it’s a nice day, should we sit out by the lake and say hi to the giant squid?"

"sure I guess"

you didn’t want to have a crush on Joshua

bc then you’d be one of those girls, the ones always trailing behind him and trying to get his attention

and walking by fluttering their eyelashes and saying "Hey Joshua."

but as you were both crossing the grounds to the lake

you kept giving him sideways glances

the way his light brown hair became lightly tousled in the breeze - or his small smile

or the gentle humming of a song you weren’t familiar with

Focus you’re working on an assignment geez

you both sat down at the edge of the lake and brainstormed ideas for your project

and somewhere along the way the convo shifted to just talking about summer and your home

"You’re muggle born too? Then have you ever watched Naruto?"

Joshua was a dork you realized, a cute one

"Sebongie? Yea I miss her like crazy, I was tempted to bring her in my trunk but I have Flufferson already."

ah shit

you were starting to like like Joshua

he was too nice and cute especially when talking about his pets and how they brightened his day

or the many hilarious adventures he had with his friends

or how he missed his family

he was a good listener too

you talked about your hamster at home

it loved eating carrots and you had originally wanted to name it mochi

but you had settled for Carrot after it’s favorite food

and you told Joshua about how you had always loved playing quidditch with your family but you never tried out for the Hufflepuff team

his friends must have caught on to your feelings before Joshua did, Joshua was kind of clueless about all the crushes people had on him

Jeonghan ended up putting his arm on your shoulder while walking to the library to meet up with Joshua

"You should just tell him you like him."

"and get a pity rejection, lmao in what world would I do that Jeonghan.”

“Suit yourself.” He said giving you a sly smile

right before shoving you into a broom closet

and locking the damn door behind you

“JEONGHAN YOU’RE DEAD YOU HEAR ME."

"You should thank your friend later, she told me about your little crush on our Shua, luckily for you I approve."

you tried unlocking the door with your wand but to no avail

you even tried picking the lock with a hairpin

"Hey y/n listen to this."

"Jeonghan I’m telling the head of slytherin later get ready for your ass whooping."

but you hear someone running down the hallway outside the door

"Jeonghan what do you mean y/n got in an accident? Where is she?"

you go dead silent, it’s Joshua

"Yah, look you came running and everything if you like her just tell her geez."

you hold your breath as you hear what Joshua says next

"She probably doesn’t like me back ok? I’m not good at these things, she’s cute and interesting and I’m boring and I don’t know ok Jeonghan, just tell me where she is no time for jokes we have to work on the project.”

“alright, I’d like to just say that you brought this upon yourself and you can thank me later."

"what are you talking about Jeonghan-"

and the closet door clicks open and Jeonghan pushes Joshua, where he bumps into you sending the both of you sprawling on the floor and the door slams shut yet again

"THIS IS FOR THOSE SNAKES SHUA I ALWAYS GET THE LAST LAUGH. See you two later…"

Joshua picks himself up and helps you up

and even in the dim closet you can see him blushing like crazy

you’re probably no better you feel like you have a fever that won’t. go. away. Goddamnit.

"Jeonghan underestimates me.” He said giving a nervous chuckle and reaching for his wand

he easily unlocks the door

and Jeonghan is out there bending over dying of laughter

and both you and Joshua are just blushing like crazy and awkwardly standing next to each other

“Did you hear everything?” Joshua says so quietly it’s almost a whisper - “yes?” You say

Joshua’s eyes widen and he gives Jeonghan (who’s still laughing even harder now at the sight of the two of you) a glare

Joshua points his wand at Jeonghan LIKE boi I’ll be seeing you later - Jeonghan runs away cackling down the hallway

“You can just pretend it didn’t happen.” Joshua says flustered looking everywhere but your face

“I’ll understand if you don’t like me ba-"

"It was driving me crazy did you really not know I like you too Joshua?” Wow did I just say that, stupid stupid stupid whyyyyy you think to yourself

he looks up at you in surprise

“Wait really? Jeonghan isn’t paying you to say that right?"

"lmao no I’m going to murder Jeonghan after this."

"I’d help you but he’s my best friend so…"

"Do you want to maybe just get a butter beer at Hogsmeade instead?"

"I’d love to."

and from then on you two were known as darling couple

Hogwarts’ gentleman Joshua and you

basically everyone’s relationship goals

and your friend groups both took responsibility for getting you two together

Joshua would send you little notes that were folded into cranes and bewitched to float over to your desk

and everyone would sigh and think how sickeningly adorable seeing you read his message

and looking at all the little hearts he had doodled during class

"Joshua Hong, let me repeat the question.” The professor would say

“I never usually have to ask you twice what’s wrong?"

"Joshua got a girlfriend, professor."

and the whole class would burst out laughing with you and Joshua blushing like crazy and his friends wolf whistling

you’d walk with each other to your next class with your hand in his

"Get a room Shua, no one needs to see this.” Jeonghan smirked as he walked towards the potions classroom in the dungeons - you and Joshua both just ignore him

“Let’s hex his clothes again with those snakes."

"Better yet, can we lock him in a broom closet?"

"Deal."

and you both walk into your next class, plotting Jeonghan’s imminent doom together

so i was thinking about that brilliant haus memes post the check please fandom compiled and i realized that man. les amis memes must be absolutely fucking incredible too

- saying “thats my first name actually” after random things

éponine: i just dont understand white people, like who would name their own child, their own flesh and blood something like McKhynleigh feuilly: thats my first name actually

grantaire, seductively: whatcha thinking about enjolras: brexit grantaire: hmmm interesting.... did you know that thats my first name actually

- sometimes they play dnd together (combeferre is the dm) and they constantly bring up things that happened in game in irl arguments

cosette: hi courf do you maybe happen to know who ended up shedding glitter all over my apartment courfeyrac: i dont know cosette do you happen to know who watched my DEATh in COLD BLOOD and then proceeded to LOOT MY CORPSE for vALUABLES

joly: im just not sure if i can trust you after you cheated on me with that barmaid last night bossuet: babe that wasnt me that was my alterego countess boochie flagrante

- they also have a thing for alignments

bahorel: *throws textbook against the wall* fuck the law feuilly: chaotic neutral

marius: *too busy daydreaming abt cosette to watch his step, trips falls and knocks down a garbage can* courf: chaotic stupid

azelma thénardier: so i told this dude that all lesbians are in a telepathic connection with each other right? and he was like “oh rly.... then whats ellen degeneres doing right now”. and i told him that she was eating her morning cereal, yknow, bc of the time difference between france and the u.s. then he was like “oh rly.... what kind of cereal” and my brain just shut down and i swear to god i couldnt have thought of a single american cereal brand if my life had depended on it so i just said “crunchster munchster” and you know what... he bought it. he asked me if i could check if this one girl he has a crush on was a lesbian and i said “ye dude, for ten euros”. and i thought that was it but i shit you not the next day he walked up to me with a list of twenty names and asked me if he could pay by credit card. rey from star wars was on the list. like not even daisy ridley, straight up “rey from star wars”, except misspelled as “rei”. i told him she was a lesbian éponine: .........chaotic gay

- combeferre is the jack zimmermann of les amis. his “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and on behalf the entire debate team id like to sincerely apologize” is legendary among teachers and students alike

*bahorel gets in a fistfight with someone* “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and on behalf the entire debate team id like to sincerely apologize” *joly and cosette watch cute animal videos on a school computer and end up loudly sobbing in the middle of the library* “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and on behalf of the entire...” *éponine smuggles gavroche’s pet tarantulas in and scares the shit out of an entire class* “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and...”

ferre is a total hypocrite about it tho. *almost blows up the whole chemistry lab bc he had a great idea for an experiment he wanted to try* “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and on behalf of the entire debate team...” *arrives at class late with nothing but a laptop and a pack of monster energy drinks, wearing his doctor who themed pajama pants* “im combeferre, vice president of the college debate club, and on behalf...”

- musichetta is a muslim, joly is a buddhist and bossuet is an atheist so christianity in general is kind of like a weird relationship meme for them

courf and ferre: *came over to the jxbxm apartment, lowkey cuddling on the couch* musichetta: um guys noah fence but this is a good christian household where we always leave some room for our lord and savior jesus christ

bahorel, in one of their shared law classes: are seriously telling me you havent read any of the compulsory readings for today bossuet: bahorel my guy you know damn well that the only book ive ever read and im ever going to read is the holy bible amen

- every time anyone complains abt any minor annoyance or rudeness they suffered from someone éponines advice is to kill them, and she often adds that she knows a guy if they know what she means, which would be funny if it wasnt for the fact that they all know that éponine is best friends with a major drug dealer and through montparnasse she most certainly could find someone whod kill a dude for money and they have no idea whether shes kidding or not

- you know how artists always get asked if their work is anime.... grantaire gets ahead of that and names all of his pieces, like every single one, even the abstract ones that are literally just him splashing some shitty cheap wine on the canvas, he titles all of them “neon genesis evangelion fanart #x”

the numbers are not in order but have some logic to them, like he painted a portrait of jehan once and named it neon genesis evangelion fanart #420, or his portrait of joly was titled neon genesis evangelion fanart #6x10^23

once he drew an actual piece of neon genesis evangelion fanart and he named it homestuck fanart #69

[enjolras voice] i just dont understand modern art

- speaking of R and nge, he has a ramiel shirt and once when he was wearing it enjolras walked up to him and said “nice octahedron” and grantaire, who hates maths with the burning passion of a thousand suns, just went “how dare you speak that word to me” and walked away. enjolras was like ???? i just wanted to be nice but the others thought it was hilarious

marius, studying latin words: hey jehan whats the gender of- jehan: how dare you speak that word to me

musichetta: yo courf remember last new years eve when you did all those jägerbombs and- courfeyrac: how dare you speak that word to me

bahorel still has this reaction to “law” in spite of hearing it approximately fifty times per day

- every single member of les amis is 100% convinced that gavroche is their son

cosette: gavroche, my sweet child whom i birthed and raised myself,

gav: *is wearing crocs* bahorel: son i did not carry you in my womb for nine months for you to disrespect me like this

- they also like to act as if jean valjean is their father which is kinda really weird bc at least half of the amis have a crush on him

courf once called jvj “daddy” to his face. no ones letting him ever forget that

- anyone who tells a longer story ends it with “in conclusion, death to the bourgeoisie and a happy hanukkah to y’all” after a memorable speech grantaire held in their debate club once

please feel free to reblog with more quality les amis memes, im always here to discuss them
