This is me and Skittles since last wednesday we have been on the living and sleeping on the streets of los angeles. I haven’t showered or gotten a proper nights sleep. I have spent the money I get trying to take care of skittles and doing my best to keep warm and my phone charged. My first night on the streets I was assaulted by a random man and tho i’ve been lucky enough to have found someone willing to share a tent with me it’s not ideal. I’m just trying to survive and was hoping that if you had anything to spare you could maybe think of me i’m trying to make enough to get a hotel room so i can get a shower and a warm bed. It’s very windy and cold and i’m truly scared. I thought on here I could act like everything was alright but I have never been this scared and desperate

T-shirt that says on the front "Les Miserables isn't about the french Revolution, it's about the 1832 June rebellion" and on the back has a picture of Delacroix's Liberty leading the people and the writing "this is also not about the french Revolution"

Another reason I dislike Les Mis adaptations that make Jean Valjean constantly openly angry/violent is because they miss that Jean Valjean is not allowed to be angry. The fact he is forbidden from expressing anger is, I argue, actually a very important part of his character in the novel!

One of the subtler political messages of the story is that some people are given freedom to express anger, while others are forced to be excessively meek and conciliatory in order to survive.

Wealthy conservatives like Monsieur Gillenormand can “fly into rages” every five minutes and have it treated as an endearing quirk. Poor characters like Fantine or Jean Valjean must be constantly polite and ingratiating to “their superiors” at all times, even in the face of mockery and violence, or else they will be subjected to punishment. If Gillenormand beats his child with a stick, it’s a silly quirk; if Fantine beats a man harassing her, she is sentenced to months in prison.

(Thenardier and Javert are interesting examples of this too. Thenardier acts superficially polite and ingratiating to his wealthy “superiors” while insulting them behind their backs. Javert, meanwhile, is completely earnest in his mindless bootlicking. But I could write an entire other post on this.)

The point is that….Jean Valjean has to be submissive and self-effacing, or he puts himself in danger. He can’t afford to be angry and make scenes, or he will be punished. The only barrier between himself and prison is his ability to be so “courteous” that no one bothers to pry into his past.

Jean Valjean is excessively polite to people, in the way that you’re excessively polite to an armed cop who pulls you over for speeding when you secretly have a few illegal grams of marijuana in the your car trunk. XD It’s politeness built on fear, is what I mean. It’s politeness built on a desperation to make a powerful person avoid looking too closely at you.

It’s politeness at gunpoint.

Jean Valjean has also spent nineteen years living in an environment where any expression of anger could be punished with severe violence. That trauma is reflected in the overly cautious reserved way he often speaks with people (even people who are kind and would never actually hurt him.)

So adaptations that have Jean Valjean boldly having shouting matches with people in public and beating cops half to death without worrying about the repercussions just make go like “???”

Because that’s part of what’s fascinating about Jean Valjean to me? On one hand, he is a genuinely kind compassionate person, who cares deeply about other people and behaves kindly out of altruism. But on the other hand, he was also “beaten into submission” by prison, and forced into adopting conciliatory bootlicking behaviors in order to survive. And it can sometimes be hard to tell when he is being kind vs. when he is being “polite” — when he is speaking and acting out of earnest compassion vs. when he is speaking and acting out of fear.

The TL;DR is that I think it’s important that even though Jean Valjean is very (justifiably) angry about the injustice that was inflicted on him, his anger is harshly policed at all times— by other people, and by himself. He has been told his anger is wrong/selfish so often that he believes it. His anger takes weirder more unhealthy forms because he has no safe outlet for it. His rage at society becomes a possessiveness towards Cosette and silent hatred of Marius, but primarily it becomes useless self-destructive constant hatred of himself. And while I might be phrasing this wrong, I think that’s what’s interesting about Jean Valjean’s relationship with anger— the way his justified fury at his own mistreatment gets warped into more and more unhealthy forms by the way he’s forced to constantly repress it.

floyd has big brother flavored mommy/daddy issues you can't convince me otherwise, sorry, i've spent too much time thinking about it. he is crushing on a troll too old for him and he doesn't know how to deal except to use his adorable baby brother charm. he thinks it's working (question mark)

these images were drawn in three sessions over a longer period so i'm no longer that happy with les's look in the first part since I was still figuring him out, but man do i find this idea entertaining and cute and want to share it even though i also feel really weird about it skdjbvkbfc 🙈🙊😳

the pillars of their relationship if you even care:

one of them is going to lose

#they can't get a high five right that's for sure #too many mixed and misunderstood messages lol #trolls #dreamworks trolls #trolls floyd #sometimes not wearing a shirt isn't just a fashion choice #sometimes it's floyd's favorite excuse to get hugs from this guy #trolls 3 #trolls band together #trolls oc #les #ex bandmates #my art #someone shoot me dead i am a little too insane about them #i don't know what personal issues i'm working through with them but it definitely feels like something #it's the year of our lord 2024 and i'm shipping characters with my ocs damn

My partner was like "no one can relate to les mis, it takes place a million years ago and who knows what the characters even want?" Clearly she has never been on tumblr.

a patch of white anemones

the iliad, tr. emily wilson / electra: a tragedy, tr. anne carson / the lathe of heaven, ursula k. le guin / @insomniac-arrest / the first bad man, miranda july / what resembles the grave but isn’t, anne boyer / rabbit heart (raise it up), florence + the machine / burrows end, @dimension20official / the burglar of babylon, elizabeth bishop

[Image Description: Ten images of text. The first image is a photograph of a book page but the rest are black text on a pure white background.

1: “You already know this story. You will die. Everyone you love will also die. You will lose them forever. You will be sad and angry. You will weep. You will bargain. You will make demands. You will beg. You will pray. It will make no difference. Nothing you can do will bring them back. You know this. Your knowing changes nothing. This poem will make you understand the unfathomable truth again and again, as if for the very first time.”

2: “Electra / And I know there is something all wrong about me - believe me. Sometimes I shock myself”

3: “The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.”

4: “The first rule of tragedy is to be yourself. The second rule of tragedy is to be literally anyone else. The third rule is that however much you try there is no escaping being yourself forever.”

5: “Then I realised that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.”

6: “Always falling into a hole, then saying “okay, this is not your grave, get out of this hole,””

7: “I must become a lion hearted girl / Ready for a fight / Before I make the final sacrifice / We raise it up, this offering”

8: “i think for myself, when I go back to that time, the number one emotion associated with it is tremendous shame and embarrassment which is the emotion it would take to never mention that to anybody”

9: “You were good to me, and I love you, / But I’m doomed” End ID.]

James Cordon is at the bowling alley my nephew is having his party at like he’s in the next lane!

I’m trying to figure out how much it would take me to get my nephew to ask him “remember that time Taylor Swift wrote a song for a movie you were in? My aunt thought you played a sad clown and just found out last month you didn’t”

#gonna start the crowdfunding rn #I would tech have a billion questions about cats as well but this is more pressing for me #he needs to know i truly thought he played a clown with a dream #les personals

*elaborate red stringboard argument about how different characters in Les Mis are living in different genres and Cosette is Fairy Tale so hard that she changes other people's narrative genres when she brings them in to her life*

so theres this sweeney todd revival recast....

#sweeney todd #aaron tveit #sutton foster #i know i know this casting was somewhat unpopular but look all the haters are so fucking wrong #theyre perfect they are THEE todd and lovett to me #also very very funny for me personally as a 2013 les mis fan who was very vocal about how fucked up and soulless aaron looked as enjolras #so for him to be sweeney now a true psychopath is like yeah YEAH YEAH!!! I KNEW!!!!! #the drawings that i draw

the morning (afternoon?) after this messy stunt. Floyd got off too easy in my opinion, but it's hard for Les to stay mad at him when he makes those sad pouting faces... 🤦

If you think Floyd's being really dumb at the start of this comic before getting a reality check, you have to take into account that he's madly lovesick and was feeling very smug atm; he's also a 15yo pop troll who thinks making out with someone means they're together now; and he assumed Les's sour mood was entirely the result of a nasty hangover...

P.S. They forgot about Hed lol (I almost forgot about him too, drew him just before posting lmao)
