Been thinking about Fantine and her portrayals. As a character, she has so much depth and emotion. She is an undoubtably good character, but she’s not good in the way Valjean is. Fantine isn’t a reserved saint. She lashes out when she’s been wronged and she does things out of desperation that make people look down on her. But she’s good and the audience wants to see her happy. While Valjean refuses to express the anger he feels towards the society that wronged him, Fantine proves it is possible to express this anger and not lose a bit of audience sympathy. I have yet to find one person who doesn’t cheer her on when she retaliates against Bamatabois. Of course, there are in universe consequences for her anger, however unfair they may be. But my point is that the audience isn’t encouraged to condemn her as well.

On a different note, I also find her placement near the beginning of the story very interesting. In many ways, she is the initial call to action, one that emerges before the barricade but gives it an emotional leg to stand on when it does appear. The resistance coming from Fantine gives only more reason to ensure that it continues.

HAPPY BARRICADE DAY

Annette is a better person than me bc if my dad just abandoned my family for several years and then ignored me when we saw each other again then i would slap him five ways to sunday.

Initial Character Names in Les Mis

I've been having fun poking around in the "Rédaction Initiale" (the earliest version) of Les Mis and want to collect the different initial character names I've run across in one place!

Jean Valjean <- Jean Tréjean

madame Magloire <- madame Marthe

mademoiselle Baptistine <- mademoiselle Sylvanie

Fantine <- Marguerite Louet

Cosette <- Anna Louet*

Marius Pontmercy <- Thomas Pontmercy

Gillenormand <- Charpentier

Gavroche <- Chavroche

Eponine <- Palmyre

Azelma <- Malvina

Grantaire <- Grangé

* This name is the reason Cosette is called Alouette! “La mère s’appelait Marguerite Louet, son enfant s’appelait Anna Louet. D’Anna Louet on avait fait Alouette. C’était le nom qu’on lui donnait dans tout Montfermeil.” Translation: The mother was called Marguerite Louet, her child was called Anna Louet. From Anna Louet they had made Alouette. It was the name she was given in all of Montfermeil.

This isn't an exhaustive list, these are just the ones I've noticed.

Happy "timeskip" to my favorite video game of all time <333 this is the only game I have played where I loved every playable character and I don't regret a second of it.

I'm gonna say something weird but the cast has brought me comfort to times I just feel troubled, you know? I've been living with a "What would [FE:TH character] do?" when I don't have the answer myself (and its mostly these four lol).

It feels so strange that I actually am living the timeskip now. I played this when I was around senior highschool or so and this year I'm in early twenties as a college student. I wish I can fully express how much I'm attached to this game. It will forever have a special place in my heart. So thank you to everyone who worked on this— the writers, artists, voice actors, music composers, devs, coders— EVERYONE. Thank you for making such an amazing game.

De-aged versions of Mercedes, Annette, Hilda, and Marianne. I just wanted to draw some of the Three Houses cast as kids.

I should mention that Mercie & Annie and Hilda & Marianne are my favorite character friendships outside of the Black Eagles. I just love how Mercedes acts like a big sister to Annette, and how Hilda tries her best to cheer up Marianne and helps her see herself as not being a curse or a burden.

DO NOT REPOST!!!
