There's some thinking about politics and then Javert and Enjolras have some kinky times on a table with some rope. 'The worse side, [Enjolras] cannot imagine. He's part of it already. The blond hair, fair skin and fine profile that Hugo gives him' adds to ‘his exclusive devotion to a political cause, the charisma he exercises over others more sensible than he is, his gifts for public speaking and for military action and his unshakeable faith in the purifying virtue of violence speak to us now of the kind of men who turned the twentieth century not into utopia but into sheer hell' David Bellos, The Novel of the Century: The Extraordinary Adventure of Les Misérables.

Cw: extended conversation about war, protests and revolutions, transness, COVID, paedophilia mention, This week we talk about sheds for a bit, which becomes relevant, for sure. Stevie is a man of the people, we push through chats about Enj's pepis and Nemo tries real hard to concentrate as we learn about a “few” pages of grossly relevant history and his thoughts on REALITY.

Cw: suicide mention, familial loss, racism inc anti-Indigenous and anti-Blackness, vivid description of branding, Nemo and Stevie are perhaps their most feral this episode. They start out as sewer rats, Valjean is trapped in a trap and becomes the Batman, and Nemo wins their great, 4-year-in-the-making con.

Cw: child abuse reference, suicide reference, Stevie, Nemo and Marius are brave little meow meows.

Cw: child abuse, death mention, stalking, poverty Speaking of life getting out of people's hands - Nemo embodies the fanfic “oh… oh”, our pantomime takes centre stage and it only takes one double entendre to change how we see Thérnadier getting “on his knees” for Valjean.

Cw: misogyny, anti-Indigenous racism, children in poverty, child abuse We start on a real furry-themed high.

Cw: misogyny, descriptions of child poverty, implied underage sex work, Nemo starts by ritualistically humiliating himself and it's all downhill from there. Éponine is a little non-binary creechure, in spite of Hugo's real great misogyny, and Stevie and Nemo work real, real hard to push out one cohesive point about class consciousness.
