One of the things I just adore about the fannon portrayal of Jehan Prouvaire is how most people depict him as effeminate or nonbinary, somewhat introverted, shy, and disinclined to aggression, but they do so with nuance.

Jehan isn't shown to be defenseless or weak-willed, he fights for what he believes in and generally doesn't fall into that delicate twink stereotype. So often, I find the characters I relate to most cannot be shown as both the queer, eccentric, and introverted type as well as the assertive and strong character. Jehan stands out, however.

#probably because he's a character largely written by a bunch of queer people who understand how one can be fem and “demure”#and also a fighter and a leader #fannon jehan has definitely helped me reflect on my identity as a nonbinary queer and fem person and recognize that those traits don't #detract from respectability #anyways good morning I'm ranting about dead French twinks again #les amis #les mis #jehan #jehan prouvaire #queer characters #les miserables #barricade boys #popcornwithnate
