#les mis valjean

[mimmixerenard]

I don't think we talk enough about that one line in the French version of Stars (Sous les étoiles)

English version

French version

Which can be roughly translated to "I will not grow weak / As long as he's not / Kneeling before me"

The inspector in VF is thinking thoughts, if you know what I mean...

valjean: come to that, can you be sure that i am not your man?

the dubious inspector javert:

He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”

Les Misérables, Volume I / Book V / Chapter III, trans. Hapgood

I saw the original tweet and knew what had to be done. Truly, the most massive-thighed and miserable guy of all time

Javert is NOT a rich white cop, he's a poor Romani man born inside a jail. When I first joined the Les Mis fandom about a decade ago I remember there were a lot of people who made Javert a rich white policeman. Which, hey, I do kinda get it, especially when you're contrasting Javert to characters like Valjean or Les Amis. I totally get why people would want that story to exist within Les Mis fanworks. But also, that is not Javert whatsoever. He's canonically half Romani, born in a prison.

Javert being a class traitor actually means so much more to the story than Javert being some random privileged asshole pig.

OP is using the original video (and the reanimated) to raise funds for trans lifeline so it just confirms this is the best ytp :)

[ineffable-gallimaufry]

[mimmixerenard]

Voilà Jean !

For the little notes:

A lot of pain for a piece of bread (the Frenglish joke was too good to pass)

With a beard or without?...what a dilemma...

+ hats

After posting my latest fanart, I thought it would be fitting to actually come up with an official Valjean design of my own. I now realise I might have been influenced to some extent by Lino Ventura's Valjean, I don't know for sure...

Sketches I did right after seeing les mis on west end and reading the book for the first time.
