June 5-6, 1832—Present: Barricade Day Makes Les Amies de Les Mis Fandom Cry
And I can hear them now! This week, Emily and V pre-emptively apologize for their French accents and inability to pronounce "Enjolras" as we look at the Les Mis fandom holiday of Barricade Day. While the real event was an unmitigated tragedy, and it was also an unmitigated tragedy in the book, musical, and movie adaptations, Barricade Day is a wholesome fandom holiday for Les Mis fans to gather and write, draw, sing, and hope for a happier ending for their beloved Amis de l'ABCs. We love it.
This is also a very silly and loosey-goosey episode to make up for the total bummer of last week. It is not... misérable, one might say.
