Apologies in advance, as I’ve forgotten who created the gif from which I nicked these frames, but please just gasp with me a little at the realization that Bahorel is holding this poor woman’s hand when she’s shot and as she falls. No wonder he rises from his crouch screaming and ready to burn the world to the ground, my god. Oh, Bahorel. Still holding to everything I said in the tags here, sigh.

…OH.
And he’s standing BETWEEN HER AND THE STREET
he should have been between her and and trouble that started
with him on one side and the rest of the protestors on the other
but another scared kid got trigger happy and aimed (for what?!?) and took out the wrong target
Bahorel was RIGHT THERE and he doesn’t want to die he doesn’t have a deathwish but he knows the score and he’s fair game
and they shot this woman instead, this old woman who was just WALKING
oh yes
TO THE BARRICADE FOREVER

 I will never get over the waistcoat thing but everything else about movie!Bahorel was as perfect as it could be OF COURSE he’s holding her hand of COURSE maybe she’d seen him around he always isor maybe she’d just met him that day this mad smiling man who was the only one on the ground who looked at her and knew what everyone was doing and gad look at her age she’s probably about as old as his parents his parents who respect him and he’s so proud of them of course he smiled at her and took her hand and she felt safe maybe she remembered the Revolution when she was so young and there was such hope in the air and thought maybe this time this time it would work it has to somedayapparently tonight is just Bahorel Feels Event on this blog anyway(x)
