(no subject)

Disclaimer: I've been up all night, I'm on the shit end of caffeine comedown, and am therefore feeling rather malicious. I'll probably... well, not disagree... with all of this later on, but at least wish I hadn't been so belligerent about it.

1. Ami fic. Specifically, Ami fic that deals with the barricades. I am so fucking sick of fanfiction authors who write with the constant implication that because they all died for a failed revolution, there was no honor in their deaths and it would've been better for all concerned if they'd just stayed home on June 5 and been good little boys and gone back to their families. They died for what they believed in and didn't regret it. Have whatever opinion on it you like, but they knew they were going to die and they had the chance to leave and stayed, and they didn't do it because they were enslaved under the spell of Enjolras' magic charisma.

2. Someone very nice sent me the OBC, thus completing my collection of English recordings. =D ...unfortunately, thus far I think it's my least favorite of the lot. Ugh. Must it be so... American? Glitzy and polished and sounding like someone really wanted to insert Fosse dance numbers into it? Okay, I have heard Red and Black and DYHTPS off this recording and I love them, but otherwise it has exactly the opposite problem of the OFC, which is quirky and unpolished and quite lovely when it's not batshit insane. I know it's trivial, but I'm sorry, Les Mis and American accents just don't mix well. *thwacks Judy Kuhn*

3. *faps self* You stupid ass. You were supposed to be doing your homework staying up all night, not listening to the OBC and reading the Saga of Christian Caron and wallowing in your own misanthropy and self-hatred. Because, yes, I am stupid and awkward and insensitive and a massive fifth wheel and... yeah. Also, not liking Saga of Christian Caron too much so far. *doesn't like interfering OCs*

4. Dearest Place of Employment: Oh no you di'int. Call me at 7 in the morning to ask me to work an 8-hour shift on no notice on a Sunday? Forgive me if I suddenly have a religion and feel duty-bound to attend church this morning. =P Well, I will be, in a sense... free organ concert this morning, you see.

5. ...I need to use the word "thwack" more often. It's somehow more satisfying than "fap."

And now, the world's shortest review of the Les Mis Original Broadway Cast evar!

Colm: Yay.

Terrance Mann: STFUplzkthx.

Randy Graff: ARGH JUST DIE ALREADY BITCH.

Michael Maguire: Damn you and the dent you put in my sexual orientation.

David Bryant: *FAP*

Judy Kuhn: *THWACK*

Frances Ruffelle: Marry me?

Chorus: ...shut up and stop being so American.

...and, just for good measure and because I'm bored, brief reviews of the other English recordings while I'm at it!

OLC

Colm: Yay.

Roger Allam: <3333

Patti LuPone: You sound too old, and yet you pull the ol' heartstrings liek whoa.

David Burt: ...your voice is too light. Meh.

Michael Ball: Awwwwww.

Rebecca Caine: Marry me?

Frances Ruffelle: *glances up* Is polygamy legal?

Chorus: Congrats, you're my favorite chorus.

CSR

Gary Morris: *covers ears and runs for the hills*

Philip Quast: Can I have your babies?

Debbie Byrne: You sound like you're trying to be Patti LuPone. Stop it.

Anthony Warlow: *melts into a gigantic puddle of fangirl*

Michael Ball: Yep, still Awwwww.

Tracey Shayne: Bit shrill, aren't we, dear?

Kaho Shimada: I feel bad, because I'd like you if your accent didn't kill my suspension of disbelief

Chorus: My, but you sound bored.

TAC

Colm: Your eyebrows should have separate billing.

Philip Quast: *fangirlgasm*

Ruthie Henshall: I want to steal your voice and wear it in a pendant around my neck, like in The Little Mermaid.

Michael Maguire: You're not Anthony Warlow, but you're very pretty so I'll forgive you.

Michael Ball: Your squee faces are amusing, especially at inappropriate moments.

Judy Kuhn: *THWACK*

Lea Salonga: Sorry sweetheart, I do take sides in Lea vs Frances and I ain't on yours.

Chorus: Whee energy!

No, no. Colm's eyebrows seriously need space in the credits all to themselves. And watching for funny things like that on the TAC is comedy GOLD, yo. Like PQ having a bit too much fun with his nightstick, or Amis acting slashy in the background. Plot? Who cares about the plot? I have a TAC quirks drinking game and that's all I need!

My favorite part is when Philip Quast takes off his hat and unbuttons his coat just a little bit during "Stars": Javert's version of a striptease? My friends and I used to refer to it as the QSS for this reason (the Quastie Strip Show). When I finally saw the show, the Javert that I saw there did it too, and I am still not quite sure on the reason for this.

Ahhhhh, pervifying Javert, what fun. XD Doesn't help that about every other line of his sounds dirty when you take it out of context, although I think my favorite is "Take him, Valjean! Before I change my mind!"

It really does. (I love your icon, btw.)
