Victor Hugo was really out here introducing 1000 new characters in the back half of the brick and saying "oops sorry guys, here are some new little dudes you're gonna be obsessed with, yeah they're all just kids, yeah, you're gonna love them all, oh yeah also, they're all gonna die, in the same chapter yeah, sorry.."

shoujo cosette is the best adaptation of les misérables because it portrays marius as a little freak, as victor hugo intended

Idk what Éponine and Cosette saw in him- Either they like it when he looks like he's about to throw a child at a police officer or the bar is in hell-

"Such was the confused mass of events that floated pell-mell on the surface of the year 1817, and is now forgotten. History neglects almost all these peculiarities, nor can it do otherwise; it is under the dominion of infinity. Nevertheless, these details, which are wrongly called little—there are neither little facts in humanity nor little leaves in vegetation—are useful. The physiognomy of the years makes up the face of the century."
Yeah, yeah. That's great and true and wonderful and all, but Hugo, my good sir, my man, my guy, you just spent the last several pages writing a glorified list of events that I, some random American here over 100 years in the future, have little to no context for. I thought I liked historical asides. And I usually do but... Aaaaaaahhhhh!

There’s a little note I left in my copy of Les Mis that always makes me laugh because I would not fucking say that.
When did I write this?
