Here we all are on another Barricade Day and wow... Look at us! We got our movie and a whole bunch of new fans, but besides that we do need to remember what it is commemorating. Each year we remember the fallen those who were at the barricades of 1832, and those who occupy the barricades of our minds. You know who I mean, to Enjolras, Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Began, Feuilly, Laigle, Joly, Bahorel, Grantaire, and while he did not die at the barricades this is for Markus as well. It's safe to say the barricade boys are forever in our hearts whether it be because of their dashing good looks, their wonderful personalities our anything else it might be. I can't think of really any other fandom where nearly everyone bands together for a holiday/ commemoration, it just doesn't happen. I have been a part of the Les Mis fandom for 4 years now and I cannot believe the community that I have found amongst everyone. Thank you Les Miserables, thank you to the barricade boys (Jehan you are forever in my heart) and just well... Wow...
I also want to take a chance to thank all my lovely readers of Hugo High, Patria Sets Sail and everything in between. And to some of the best friends I have made in this fandom, Spirit-Lily, CoralBR, and Lord44.
To the barricades!
Mimi
