“Yes, Cosette, yes, it’s true. There’s a castle just waiting for you.”

Personally my favorite Les Mis AU is the one where Jean Valjean picks up the barricade and walks away

This is the only valid Les Mis AU

cryptid-batman:

valjean: that’s it! you’re all grounded. enjolras, no arguing. grantaire, no alcohol. javert- oh my god, is there anything you love?

javert: revenge.

valjean: javert, no revenge.

javert: i was gonna say “i’ll get you for this”, but i guess that’s off the table

dadvaljean:

I was thinking about what Valjean’s perspective on his crime was and if he would do the same thing again (ie he and Cosette are starving and he’s tempted to steal food) and what he considers moral

and there’s a discussion to be had there but I realized that it doesn’t really matter what he believes. if cosette was starving, he would steal the food. even if he fully believed that would damn him to hell. he’d do it in an instant for his daughter.

saltedpin:

the thing that really gets my back up about when adaptations make Valjean romantically attracted to Fantine is entirely because it points to such a dearth of imagination in scriptwriters and producers that they can’t possibly conceive of why a man might want to help a woman in distress for any reason other than because he wants to fuck her

This makes me so uneasy, but I wholeheartedly agree

timetravelonion:

Tbh my favorite characters in media are the ones who go through an intense struggle to discover their calling, dedicate their lives to it, never marry, and adopt a kid whom they love unconditionally.

If TV has taught me anything its that 55 year old single parents are literal modern gods

dadvaljean:

okay but Jean Valjean almost certainly has ptsd from his 19 years on the chain gang, and Cosette def has some deep trauma from years of living in an abusive household, and I just. papa valjean teaching cosette how to deal with panic attacks bc he knows what it feels like to wake up with your heart pounding and the walls closing in… cosette taking his hand and helping to ground him when she sees him start to dissociate… valjean holding cosette tight when she’s anxious and needs the pressure and safety… cosette making sure he eats regularly… valjean always making sure to keep his voice soft and move slowly even when she’s in trouble so he doesn’t trigger a panic attack or flashback…
