Cw: stalking being romanticised, referenced child abuse, descriptions of childhood poverty and homelessness,
It’s finally time for two lovebirds to meet. The wettest, most effervescent event of the century. Then a real pivot to some boys. Some actual boys. Some sad boys, wet boys, cold cold boys - and we have a wild revelation about our bestest boy, made canonical.

Cw: child poverty, use of slur for Inuit people, human zoos, freak shows, minstrel performances, anti-Indigenous thought, incarceration, violence,
Nemo goes to see a little-known musical, and we continue to love our boy Gavroche, who lives in an elephant. We apologise to another White Man for their interpretation of the novel, get really, really sad about children, then pivot to a prison heist.

Cw: prisons, incarceration in Australia and in the UK, depictions of classism, racism, descriptions of wounds, antiziganism, discussion of homophobic language,
This week we think about Australia, and then go deep, deep into Hugo’s fun world of slang. As usual, he has opinions. Some of them we agree with but. Not like this. Never like this, Hugo.

Cw: discussions of incarceration, childhood poverty, anti-Blackness, death,
We make some excellent AUs, then dive back into Hugo’s big brain essay, which then devolves, as ever, into Hugo’s Going Off about Truth, Enlightenment, and Revolution, which we try really, really hard to understand. Plus, some quotes to make you sad about our present, and some quotes to give you hope.

Cw: islamophobia mention, antisemitism mention, misogyny, amanormativity, sex work mention, death mention
We start strong this week with VOLTAIRE FACTS, and then we go into a real AROMANTIC WEEK celebration with Hugo being SO NORMAL about some CHASTE ROMANCING, thus beginning the downwards spiral of feminism.

Cw: death and suicide mention
This week, Nemo and Stevie talk the West End show as seen in Feb 2023, including its updated staging, the pros/cons of a revolve, and Javert’s desperate grunting (in a homoerotic kind of way).

Cw: threatened violence against a woman, antisemitism (?), slavery, threatening suicide, references to domestic abuse
A totally normal amount of time has passed since our last episode, don’t even worry about it. Marius is back, back again to our unending pleasure, and he continues to hate crime our girl Éponine right in time for the attack on Rue Plumet, and we conceptualise our new favourite bit: The Drag House of Javert.

Cw: dysfunctional / emotional abusive family,
Some distance made the heart grow fonder, right? Our unexplained absence was just method acting for this chapter, in which Marius returns to beg his daddy for money. There’s some funky gender, some inability to be sincere and what people will do for inheritance.

The barricade boys meet for brunch and prinks before going to Lamarque’s funeral, but who cares about that, it’s time for Marius to be sad (again!) Also, Mabeuf is here, and it’s only downhill for him . Nemo is elated, Stevie is devastated.

Cw: death mention, coloniser apologism, depressing British politics,
Doctor Javert reveals their real name, and Stevie airs some quality, freshly minted fanfic. And then it’s time for a Hugo essay. This time it’s about riots and insurrection. There’s a lot of “Hugo what?” and “:( Hugo, yeah,” and “oh Hugo you naive fool…” as we ask where was Hugo on January 6th?
