Jean Valjean - Blog Posts
This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert
I really do love Arts a lot. ❤️❤️
Les Misérables | The Convent Illustrated by Adriano Minardi (Italian Edition, 1930)
He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”
Les Misérables, Volume I / Book V / Chapter III, trans. Hapgood
the other day I was taking a walk when I saw this old guy trapped under a cart. people were trying to help him but it was too heavy so I stepped forward and lifted it off him (I work out a lot.) then, this old police inspector told me I had to be a convict because of how strong I was. I looked him straight in the eye and said, “it’s 1815. anyone can be strong, including non felons, women, and gay people. the only person who’s weak here is you.” he started crying and gave me fifty crowns while everyone clapped, even the nuns
Ugh, okay. Unfollowing. I was a big fan of his tenure as mayor and subsequent adoption of a poor, orphaned child, had no idea that he stole a loaf of bread and broke parole
“I could fix him” “I could make him worse” well I could give him two silver candlesticks to help him become an honest man and send him on a path to redemption
That about sums it up
Rewatching Les mis for the first time in years.
my favourite part gotta be when Jean Valjean calls himself a „father and a mother too“
Like how sweet is he???

Small wip for my upcoming comic, which I hope to finish soon.
Sleep well, dear Inspector.

Henley Monday -
Happy first day back at work after a long weekend! It was a beautiful weekend up here in Chicago, and I hope everyone out there enjoyed the last official bits of summer fully. I know I did.
But maybe you enjoyed a little too fully and now the hours until you can go home and put on sweats and watch So You Think You Can Dance are dragging by? Enter Hugh Jackman looking fooooiiiiiine in this here crisp, white henley. Jackman doesn't get better than this.He is a tender, hyper-masculine PRINCE among mortals.
Keep it up with the TWO-SIDES Hugh; we love you for it.
I can't find my post but anyways re what I said about how jean valjean's relationship with his own body is for the most part never really explicitly touched on but there's huge amounts to be extrapolated from it, I think it's really interesting how physical & related to the body the descriptions we see him give are when he's thinking about confessing & then confessing to marius at the end of the book. obviously there's the more literal one:
where the physical state of his leg proves that he was in the galleys and is sort of a physical manifestation of his status as a convict, but there's also, e.g.:
I just think it's really interesting that his feeling of his own taintedness is so physical that it's externalised into his body like this in his descriptions -- particularly when it comes to touching other people
A fun little Les Mis - Count of Monte Cristo crossover that lives in my head - Valjean and Edmond Dantès meet some time after Dantès escapes from prison
Valjean ends up caught up in his plans, trying to do damage control
Partially inspired by this fic :>
