im like, yes, tell me more about the animal symbolism in victor hugos 1862 novel les miserables

#like baby talk to me about javert and dogs!#valjean is a lion but when hes with javert hes a mouse #when javert is angry hes a tiger but hes also a bulldog but hes also a bloodhound #arm of the law and all that shit #and cosette is a lark!#shes literally called the lark!#gavroche is usually a songbird i think but i feel like i remember him being compared to a cat a couple times???#les mis #les miserables #elias.txt

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - A Wound Without, Healing Within, LM 4.4.1 (Shoujo Cosette)

Cosette dressed the wound morning and evening with so divine an air and such angelic happiness at being of use to him, that Jean Valjean felt all his former joy returning, his fears and anxieties dissipating, and he gazed at Cosette, saying: “Oh! what a kindly wound! Oh! what a good misfortune!”

tumblr calling me a top michael bunting blog truly makes me feel like a fraud 😭

#like yes he’s my baby yes I have a playlist for when I miss him specifically #but so many of y’all post so many wonderful things and deserve that title more than me #fuck I miss him so much #jean valjean was right…he’s like the son I might’ve known if god had granted me a son fr #michael bunting #i guess I gotta make a michael bunting tag since he isn’t a leaf

there is nothing fantine would not do for cosette :( there is nothing she would not give of herself so that her daughter can thrive. cosette is the love of her life, her flesh and blood, the most precious thing in fantine's heart. she is the best thing that's ever happened to her. that little girl brought so much love and light into the world. even after tholo left them both, fantine never stopped loving her, not even for a second. something so wonderful, so kind and gentle, came from something so horrible, and for that fantine seeks to protect her.

if it were in fantine's power, nothing would ever happen to cosette as long as she lived.

#fantine — meta.#BARKBARKBARK THINKING ABOUT MAMA BEAR FANTINE #fantine sees the best parts of herself in cosette #the parts of herself she does not hate #cosette is so fucking precious to her. she would have not left her at the inn if she didn't HAVE TO #she cried the entire walk from montfermeil to montreuil #she bitterly regrets leaving her to find work #but she HAD TO.#they would starve and be out on the street otherwise #paris would not be kind to a single woman with a child #she has too much going against her. she needs to be as unnoticeable as possible when she gets there to find work #personals dni or i will bite you /#also lmao i like to think had she lived valjean's and fantine's parenting styles would have meshed well #bc they're both very extreme on the babying and the protecting

watching the local high school production of les mis is sooo funny bc yes the guy playing Marius is my childhood bestie and is wicked talented but also he’s a drag queen I was his beard in middle school. and I know all the backstage drama through him. it’s literally so funny he doesn’t like the girl playing Eponine irl bc he had a Thing with her boyfriend (Javert) and things are messy between the three of them but funnier still is that he had a crush on the guy playing Jean Valjean. Like. The drama. The messiness. It’s beautiful. Marius wants to do a drag look w Cosette’s wedding dress and my baby cousin is one of the soldiers that mocks him for falling in love. I love this. I love them

#magpie chirps #les miserables #les mis #said baby cousin is now taller than me and in highschool but he’ll always be the baby Yknow #Jean valjean saw me and was like wait I know you wtf before he realized I used to go to school there lmaoo #he was like wait no I do remember you we had an awkward hug at the end of eighth grade #before I switched schools lmao #I was sitting next to a dif friends little sister and she was telling me all about he friend who was playing the little boy whose name #I’m forgetting rn cause he’s her best friend #I love it so much #fills my heart with joy

nothing will ever be funnier to me about jean valjeans ONLY slip up in the whole becoming gods servant and being compassionate lifestyle being just the faintest hint that some dude might have a crush on his daughter and he just goes batshit

some perfectly nice guy in the general vicinity of his baby (17 y/o) girl: *smiles*

jean valjean *fighting every urge in his body to not go ballistic*: i want him dead

#my man let the guy who had been HUNTING him for 15 years walk #doesn't care about criminals tryna scam him #bring him home was a lie we all know it #les miserables #les mis #jean valjean #cosette #marius pontmercy #marius joins the family and valjean immediately dips #javert

I hope tumblr doesn’t die because No other social media site is as good for long, thoughtful, nuanced analyses of media. Yeah tumblr is also full of dumb shallow hot takes and shitposts, but you can make dumb shallow hot takes and shitposts anywhere —-there are no other popular social media sites that let you easily format and share long essays on the media you enjoy, and then have conversations around those long essays.

Fandom on all the other big social websites just seems so utterly …shallow. And it’s not because people on other websites aren’t thoughtful or don’t have deep things to say, but because these sites’ formats do not allow for any kind of long nuanced conversations.

Tiktok? Things have to be crammed into a super short video with an attention grabbing headline, and you can’t hyperlink sources. Instagram? Everything has to be in an image format with strict limits on length, and nothing will be shown to your followers anyway because of how Instagram’s algorithm works, and also no hyperlinks. Twitter? Strict character limits, and if you split it into threads it means someone can retweet a part of your essay completely out of context, and also very little freedom with formatting.

It frustrates me so much. If I go into the Tumblr Les Mis fandom I’ll find really compelling long essays on the original novel (including essays being written for the ongoing book club) on the story’s historical context, or the parallels between different characters and their narrative foils, or the way the politics were defanged for certain adaptations, or the way Victor Hugo’s personal life and failings affected the novel. But on tiktok I’ll get the same five shallow stale jokes from 2013 over and over, or maybe the same “DID U KNO THAT IN THE MUSICAL JAVERT AND VALJEAN SING THE SAME LEITMOTIF” style of basic Intro To Les Mis 101 For Babies media analysis (which is what Tiktok considers deep media analysis), or stale “LOL JAVERT ACTS GAY” style jokes as if we’re living in the early 2000s and calling a character gay is still a funny punchline. And it’s impossible to have any kind of deeper thoughtful discussions than “DID U KNOW <x Kool Fact>” or “lol <shallow observational joke>” on tiktok because the platform just isn’t built for building niche communities around in depth conversations. it’s built to churn out bland generic content for as wide an audience as possible, which means pointing out a small detail like an Easter egg and calling it “cool” is deep media analysis, because you cant have longer more in depth conversations without alienating people. And I hate it. Bc like, it’s not because there aren’t smart clever thoughtful people on Tiktok— there are—it’s because Tiktok isn’t built for these conversations, and anyone who wants to have them has to really fight against the things the website encourages or prioritizes!

Or like, if I go into the LOTR fandom on Tumblr, I’ll find tons of extremely long analysis and fanfic, and analysis of queer readings of the story. On Instagram people will still shriek in terror if you suggest the characters are gay, and most of the popular lotr posts are stale memes recycled from like 2007. There’s really no room for thoughtful media analysis, and even if you did create it, instagram’s algorithm would make sure no one saw your post anyway.

And everyone’s going to say “the algorithm shows you what you’ve seen before so maybe it’s your fault ~” or whatever but i do look for things I want! I do! “The algorithm” doesn’t know me or what I want or value or care about beyond this meaningless surface level.

The only thing that was worthwhile about these sites was the great visual art people were creating, but now the websites are overwhelmed with meaningless soulless machine-generated AI glurge, and it sucks. It just really, really sucks.

I’m honestly confused about why people don’t use tumblr….There’s no character limits! You have freedom with post formatting, and can insert images throughout textposts to illustrate specific points you’re making beneath the paragraphs where they’re necessary! You can add hyperlinks, linking to your sources! People can reblog your entire essay and share it, and then add on with commentary that then becomes part of a larger conversation! People can find your stuff through the tagging system! Reblogging means posts stay in circulation for years instead of being dead 30 minutes after they’re uploaded! If you want to have genuinely interesting text conversations about a piece of media, there really isn’t a better social media website for it anywhere.

To be clear, I’m definitely not saying Tumblr media analysis is *always* clever and thoughtful or etc etc. there are shitposts and nonsense here too (plenty of which I’ve created lol.) I’m saying that Tumblr gives people the tools for in-depth insightful analysis to happen. Whether people choose to do it or not is their own decision XD. But the reason lengthy in-depth conversations and book clubs are even possible here is because Tumblr is built for allowing these conversations to happen, in a way other sites simply aren’t.

It’d really suck if it died, because it’d be a huge blow to…being able to easily find long insightful in-depth media analysis written by fans. I currently don’t think there’s anything that could replace it.

#tumblr #I’m currently working an overlong essay post #comparing the locations Hugo references in Les Mis #with the photographs taken by Charles Marville in the 1860s of those very places #and just thinking “wow this would be hard on other sites

When Javert’s like “wow Monsieur le maire it’s crazy how strong you are, it reminds me of this criminal better do a background check” Valjean should’ve just said “aha yeah you like that? ;) x” but like in French or whatever and maybe bitten his lip. Like now we’re both taken aback. New situation for you to deal with. Never mind all the 24601 shit come feel my muscles baby girl

#could this chain of events be what led to rent boy javert ten years later? perhaps

some of my favorite moments from the 1995 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables bc it's BARRICADE DAY and thus tis the season:

the convicts during Look Down all being Valjeans from different countries

the bishop M is baby faced and has an angelic voice

the clips from the fully staged show that they insert whenever there is too long of an instrumental/to explain things

colm wilkinson and philip quast's confrontation makes me want to chew on my laptop screen. so good. so crisp

baby cosette gets spooked by a balloon popping during castle on a cloud but barely flinches and keeps singing

the entire cast in the background of master of the house bopping back and forth in time. they are so here for it and it's amazing

philip quast's stars. he's so fucking good. i'm insane about him

michael maguire as enjolras's little happy dance when gavroche tells them that lamarque is dead

michael ball as marius somehow gives himself literally heart eyes whenever he talks about cosette. i can see them. it's so funny

during a heart full of love, colm wilkinson and philip quast are so invested in the background. they're leaning over to whisper to each other. they are besties

lea salonga as eponine delivers "i know this house i tell you, there's nothing here for you. just the old man and the girl, they live ordinary lives" like a GODDESS she is EVERYTHING

michael ball surreptitiously wiping his sweat on lea salonga's hair during her death scene. mans is dying a little

drink with me features anthony crivello as a fucking stellar grantaire, and after his verse, enj comes over and puts his hand on his shoulder to comfort him for a very long time. complete with a lingering touch on the arm and everything. fantastic exr crumbs 👍

the clips from the full show of the final battle are hilarious. completely different cast (though only obvious to insane people like us.)

highlights include one of les amis right on the middle of the barricade doing like. a backwards worm he's so into his death throes. he always has me losing my shit

empty chairs at empty tables includes the fucking cruel choice to have the entire les amis cast of actors line up on each side of michael ball and just a step behind so that they're in shadows, all staring sadly at him for the whole song. gives the impression of all the ghosts of marius's dead friends looking on from the afterlife and demanding answers. heart wrenching. THIS IS JUST SUPPOSED TO BE A CONCERT, WHY ARE U DOING STAGING LIKE THIS

beggars at the feast has everyone in the background clapping/tapping along again. love seeing the thenardiers get their due appreciation

the 17 valjeans from other international productions enter after the finale and they all have their gavroches holding their country flags it's so fucking cute

and of course final encore with all the additional valjeans and the whole cast is fucking ACES

ANYWAY if ur looking for a production to watch that is good af this is the top of my list even though it isn't fully staged. it's sooooo. it's some good fucking food. happy barricade day!!

The one, in which Valjean observes the Thénardiers in their natural environment. Too much is going on, so I will select just a couple of aspects. Valjean, though perceptive himself, remains an enigma to the Thénardiers. They debate whether he's a beggar or a wealthy eccentric, convinced that the rich cannot be polite.

The description of emaciated, bruised, scared Cosette clad in rags is excruciating. Hugo’s and Valjean’s reaction to what they see is humane and natural: “The hollows in her neck were enough to make one weep,” but it’s not enough for the good people of Montfermeil. Cosette was “on the verge of becoming an idiot or a demon.” Luckily, she would escape this fate, but Éponine, trapped in this environment, would eventually label herself “a devil.”

Éponine is amusing, inventive, and lovely, explaining Azelma the rules of playing with a cat: “Gradually, you will perceive her whiskers, and that will surprise you. And then you will see her ears, and then you will see her tail and it will amaze you. And you will say to me, ‘Ah! Mon Dieu!’ and I will say to you: ‘Yes, Madame, it is my little girl. Little girls are made like that just at present.’” Hugo is so good at conveying children’s behaviour.

On the other hand, Cosette doesn’t quite know how to play. This is a skill one has to learn socially, and Cosette never had time for it. Valjean is paying for her time to play, then he buys her a fancy doll. And It’s heart-breaking to see how all she can do with a new doll is to admire it silently: ““Play, Cosette,” said the stranger. / “Oh! I am playing,” returned the child.”

Hugo is imposing gender norms of his time, preaching about girls and dolls, and women and babies. However, this was the mainstream opinion of the time, so Hugo is just a normal man of the nineteenth century.

The image of Jean Valjean wandering around the house at night, acting as St. Nicholas, rewarding good children with a coin, is precious!

LES MIS LETTERS IN ADAPTATION - Authority Reasserts Its Rights, LM 1.8.4 (Les Miserables 1935)

Jean Valjean laid his hand upon the detaining hand of Javert, and opened it as he would have opened the hand of a baby; then he said to Javert:—

“You have murdered that woman.”
