I wanna know ur Fontaine msq criticisms 👁️👁️👂I’m all ears

I'm not sure if you wanted me to talk about this secretly or publicly but! Here I go!

The TLDR: Fontaine MSQ aestheticised prison, poverty, child abuse, the justice system/court and didn't properly address any of it.

More:

Focalors/Furina has way too much of a sympathetic angle for a dictator who's lets people drown with her inaction.

Neuvillette feels Bad for sentencing some people to death/prison, but that's it. He's one of the most powerful people in Fontaine. If he felt like there are systemic injustices, I.E sending an abused Child to prison, he should be the first person to DO something about it, not just cry and be sad so the audience can be like aw, that's complex character writing isn't it? No it's not! And guilt doesn't absolve you!!!!!!! (These are stuff we deal with in OTCOJ read my fic now /j)

Meropide has children in it, both Sentenced there (Wriothesley) and BORN THERE (Lanoire), and this is just a quirk of the place. Not only that, Meropide accepts prisoners of all genders and crimes. There are abusers and abuse victims in one place. Do you know how bad that is? How much potential for crimes to happen in a place like that�� oh wait, Meropide isn't under Fontaine's jurisdiction. If you are assaulted as an inmate it literally means nothing to the court.

Wriothesley had no qualifications when he took over. Depending on how long he lived on the streets, how old he was when he killed his parents, how old he was when he was first taken in by the orphanage, etc, the man might never have more than 4–5 years of formal education. Sigewinne probably had to teach him how to write reports. And do Meropide's spreadsheets. Edit because I forgot to elaborate on this one: This isn't a point brought up anywhere, which is bad, because when poverty and incarceration robs you of a proper education (and the rights to vote in many places too, too, by the way), it reduces your prospects for jobs, reduces many people's ability to get a home etc etc. Wriothesley was just, narratively, Given his position.

Meropide is an industrialized prison, and they portray this as a good thing. Prisoners are paid in coupons for their labour, and this is also portrayed as a good thing.

The One-Meal-A-Day reform was something Paimon gushed about being so great of a perk, that people might want to go to jail for food (could be interesting and reflective of systemic poverty if MHY had brains, but they don't, so I was just Pissed because essentially all Paimon wanted to say was "Prison isn't so bad, but still don't go to prison guys! Prison labour is really hard!"). By the way, in most real-world prisons they are obligated to feed you three meals a day. Because that's how much food a human needs. MHY went with one meal just so they can say "if you want to eat more, you have to work." And then the welfare meal is a goddamn gacha. So imagine you're a starving child who's too weak to work in the fucking robot assembly line, and you wander up for your first meal in 24 hours, only to luck in with a shit one. I'd kill myself.

They wrote Wriothesley, who's a victim of the system, into a guy who's say shit like "I'm the Duke I can do whatever I want" for a cool moment where he choke-slams an inmate (I know he was a bad guy. But also, in copaganda when cops are violent/disregarding protocols, they are always only portrayed to do that against bad guys, so what does our critical thinking tells us about this one?) They wrote Wriothesley, who was an inmate of a prison so bad, so notorious that it is the literal boogeyman of Fontaine, that has a legal (???) fighting pit, with an administrator who abuses his position to be unreasonable, to willingly stay in the place and become an Administrator who would choke-slam an inmate while saying a cool line about how he has the power to do whatever he wants. They wrote him, the guy who had to be fed on the streets by melusines, to think one-meal-a-day was a good enough reform (while he spends god-knows how much on his boat). This wasn't a victim-turns-into-abuser narrative either, they want all this to be seen as positive character growth.

And then, the final kicker is, they gloss over his entire abuse. You can only read about these shit in his profile, which most people don't because they don't Have Him or doesn't care to unlock it/read it online, and they jammed his entire backstory into a flaccid info-dump at the end of his character story quest. This man isn't Allowed to feel abused and neglected and show any reaction to it within the narrative of Fontaine itself, because if they actually Gave Weight to what happened to him, they'd have to confront THE FUCKING JUSTICE SYSTEM they had NO PLANS on criticising. I don't think they ever explicitly said the fucking Crime-Theatre nonsense was Bad either.

I could go on, but this is already so long. But yeah, I hope this gave you an idea.

Another bitter sweet world quest... I wish Cater would see Lanoire often... In the middle of nowhere, it should be easy for a lovely Hilichurl (and bodyguard) like him to have a new life, right?? They're damn cute.

LANOIRE AND CATERPILLAR......

[dolphin1812]

Marius is absolutely insufferable here, with how he's rude to the eldest Jondrette daughter just because he's angry that the francs he gave her could have been used by him to follow Mlle Lanoire. She, however, is very kind to him. It's sad to see how uncertain she is when checking in on him, as if this sort of emotional support is foreign to her (after all, if she's never received it, how is she supposed to know how to provide it?). Marius' use of "tu" instead of "vous" (represented by his switch to "thou" because there's no modern English equivalent) is likely meant as a continuation of his rudeness, but she interprets it as familiarity and is delighted, which also hurts to read. To her, Marius is bordering on a friend. He's kind to her (he gave her food), he's respectful (he didn't demand anything of her the first time she went to his room and even gave her back the letters), and now he's sharing his hardships with her to some extent. To Marius, though, she's only been an object of pity (when she first came) or a tool (this time). It's understandable that Marius would mean more to her than she does to him - they barely know each other, but Marius' kindness is much rarer for her than hers is for him - but it's still sad to see that contrast, especially when Marius is now being self-serving rather than simply distant.

The emphasis on "the beautiful lady" is meant to demonstrate that Mlle Jondrette is upset by this request, but it's intriguing to think about how Mlle Lanoire's beauty has been defined in relation to the Jondrettes. She's not described as "naturally" beautiful around them, but as beautiful because of her clothes and demeanor. Since she has money, she can afford clothes that are fashionable and that fit her. She can be benevolent as well, helping those less fortunate than her because there are many people less fortunate than she is. Her "feminine"-coded behaviors (taking care of the child, being modest, etc) are possible because of her money, too; her expenses are covered by her father, so she can adhere to the expectations of her gender in a way that a working-class woman (who'd have to avoid some or all of these expectations to work) could not. Both of the Jondrette daughters envy that, especially the elder one. She, like Mlle Lanoire, is between childhood and adulthood, but she has no chance to experiment with womanhood (or to enjoy her childhood) because of her poverty. Her child-like aspects (her boldness) are disorienting in someone who has been aged by suffering rather than just signs of her youth, and her experiences with the expectations of womanhood haven't been positive, either. Although gendered expectations aren't great in general, the Jondrettes' frustration stems from their lack of choice with regard to them.

Some people seem to forget that Cosette is a goth, like :

. Traumatic backstory ( with her 2 horrid years at Thenardier Inn )

. Lives in a convent for 9 years as a student ( the Petit Picpus Convent actually looks kinda like a gothic boarding school/church hybrid in dark academia genre btw )

. Black dresses, floral accessories, her Catholic Shawl and her rosary are her iconic style pieces

. Loves reading, writing AND making artworks of gothic related stuff

. Seems to think she can sense spirits floating around her at times

. Candles, a Catholic Cross and Lacy curtains in her room in Valjean and Cosette's house in Rue Plumet ( post Convent era and during 1830s French Rebellion era )

. Likes to sneak out to the house garden and even the Rue Plumet public gardens at times in the 1830s French Rebellion Era

. Tries her best to find the bright side in dark situations and things
