#Jean Valjean

[fluentisonus]

"... at Toulon, during the hours of repose, which were for Jean Valjean hours of reverie, this gloomy galley-slave, seated with folded arms upon the bar of some capstan, with the end of his chain thrust into his pocket to prevent its dragging, serious, silent, and thoughtful, a pariah of the laws which regarded the man with wrath, condemned by civilization, and regarding heaven with severity."

Not sure if anyone’s familiar with Teatro Lope de Vaga’s production of Les Miserables (Los Miserables) that was in Madrid in 2011. But I cannot recommend it enough. It’s professionally filmed and available on Youtube (it is in Spanish, but like…it’s really good…so)

I’ve been watching it today, and one of the things I adore about it is how their not afraid to let actors touch

Like, they seem so loving. It depends the relationships so beautifully

the amount of old men i draw are directly proportional to my stress levels so here’s a compilation of the most presentable old men i drew this year that i never posted, in no particular order

#jean valjean #javert #cosette fauchelevent #les mis #les miserables #doodle #pokemon #now i could speak a lot about what i think the pokemon of *every* character in les mis could be #but that day will not be today. #anyway most of these like the last post were also style experiments; the last one in particular was an attempt at making— #—an old style painting that really did not work. the first one was based off a really good artstyle from a music video #the rest are just silly stuff

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.”

“He is a man who does good by gunshots.”

The description of Jean Valjean’s marksmanship as “the shot which misses nothing and kills no one” has always stuck out to me as a metaphor for his character as a whole. He’s highly skilled at violence, but chooses to use his skills for pacifism instead. He fires a gun expertly,—but only to hit off soldier’s helmets or knock down furniture for the barricade, and never to kill. It’s similar to how he uses his ‘frightening’ convict strength to save Fauchelevent from under the cart. He’s very “Iron Giant”-like in the sense that he’s been ‘built’ for violence and is in a system that repeatedly tries to force him to be violent, but is determined to remain peaceful at any cost to himself; it’s about all the great “terrifying” power being used only for gentle pacifistic reasons….

Answering the question: Was a Valvert relationship possible to maintain in canon-era France without legal consequences? The answer is yes and no. It depends.

In contrast to Britain, the German states, and the Habsburg Empire, consensual sexual acts between adult men in France were legally tolerated thanks to the Code Napoléon. Since 1805, as long as men confined their sexual relations to private environments, it was not a criminal offence. However, local authorities made sure to criminalize sexual acts performed in public places, as well as male prostitution. (Because of this partly tolerant attitude towards homosexual relations, France was a suitable place of exile for men like Oscar Wilde.)

So, if your Valjean and Javert do whatever they do behind closed doors at home (and probably even in Madeleine’s office), they can do so without any legal consequences. What is even better, Javert’s feelings won’t be hurt, as he is not transgressing the lawr. But as soon as they move into public territory, they are in trouble, and Javert automatically becomes a criminal—I am sure he won’t like it.
