🎲 kiss roulette for either Valjean or Javert (reroll if needed) or else make it a drabble with another character entirely!

Kiss Roulette || @reverdies (thank you!)

(Gonna do this for both Javert and Valjean bc I can and it'll make sense for both of them, but I'll post the other one independently from this one!)

18, A Kiss While Laughing:

Fantine isn't sure when this became routine for them. Sunday would greet them both far quicker than they ever appreciated; both would begrudgingly force themselves to attend mass with Valjean and Cosette. When Javert first joined this house of misfits, it was easier to make excuses for not joining the other two, but with his increased health came increasing responsibility to assimilate. Then, when the first, licking flames in the fireplace caught and the other residents had found their beds for the night, Fantine would join Javert in his room with a bottle of something red.

It was a reward in a way, she supposed. Wine always tasted sweeter outside of church— even more so when the other made for good company. Admittedly, even that was a surprise to her, but he his appreciation and enjoyment made for a far better choice than Valjean's concerned glances whenever Fantine's fingers danced around the neck of a bottle.

They were talking about everything and nothing, the awkwardness of the first few days nothing more than a faint recollection. Despite Javert's former occupation, she soon found he had a wicked sense of humour. It was refreshing, enthralling even.

She loved Valjean dearly, but despite all his years he remained restrained and seemingly unwilling to simply let go. It was hardly a character flaw; in fact, she admired his steadfast nature, but there were times she doubted he truly allowed himself to feel anything other than guilt.

Javert was undeniably confusing, but there was an understanding unspoken between them that once you lost everything, there was nothing else to possibly lose. Perhaps that's why he let this side show, because he had nothing to lose in showing it.

The blush he had teased her about so many months ago had returned to dye cheeks a fine red once more. Of course he would comment on it, his lips curving against the rim of his glass as he did. She couldn't help the faux pout that came to scrunch her nose before they both broke into laughter, wine nearly spilling over edges and perfectly clean floors.

Maybe it was the glow of a dying fire, or maybe it was the alcohol, but his uninhibited humanness was beautiful.

His laughter, once so hard to come by had become a joy to hear. She wished she could capture it, keep it safe and sound. Everyone deserved this happiness.

Perhaps that's why she did it. Perhaps that's why she reached out to cup his cheek, her eyes wet with laughter, her cheeks aching with joy. Perhaps that's why she consciously displaced her glass and captured his lips with hers. So she could keep this joy safe. So he would not lose it, not if she could help him look after it.

His lips, surprisingly soft, tasted of wine and salt born from a fine layer of sweat.

As quickly as she had taken this moment, she pulled back with wide eyes. Suddenly, she could no longer meet his gaze. She was hardly ever so bold, why would she think to do such a thing now? Had she ruined this too? The only moment of the week in which she felt truly herself and not simply a performance of herself?

"Please forgive me, I..." her voice faltered. Did she regret it? No. But she did not have the privilege of deciding its consequences. "I... don't know what came over me."

greta gerwig really said. when this girl gets a little sad and confused by the weird and complicated and uncomfortable parts of being human and growing up, she meets god and sits at her kitchen table, drinks her tea, holds her hands. and she asks god if she’s allowed to be happy. and god tells her she doesn’t need her permission. she tells her she’s going to be okay.

Can't stop thinking about this dialogue, during the 100 swords scene:

Compared to this dialogue, when Hua Cheng is gently removing a needle from Xie Lian's foot:

Just, the tenderness of it all, after Xie Lian endured so much pain. The permission to cry out if it hurts, compared to having his voice forcibly muffled. It makes me cry whenever I think about it.

more than anything else, marxism-leninism is hope. capitalism is such a horrifically soul-crushing misery-inducing catastrophe that coming to grips with its full impacts is enough to drag anyone down into the absolute most miserable despair. but on the other side of all of this is a fight to dismantle it. it's a fight dating back centuries, one which is still being fought every day by people all around the world. marxism-leninism is a flame that will never be extinguished. one day this fight will be won, and the clouds that capitalism casts over us at all times will part, giving way to the eternal sun. marxism-leninism is the profound belief that a better world is genuinely possible, and that we can make it with our own hands.

When Shanks adopted Uta Buggy was very much “this is your project” but she quickly grew on him and soon Buggy was helping here and there behind the scenes.

The best reference for my oc I could find was a gacha one, and to avoid confusion the black lines were done with eyeliner and she has many vitiligo marks on her body, a specific one around her right eye

Okay that's all,

the fact that charles was so gentle and sincere with his answer to edwin's confession is something I could never forget... because that's what love is about, right?

love is in the way charles could never hurt edwin on purpose, is in the way he protects him, in the way he knows when edwin needs to be seen; love is in the choice of every one of his words, in the way he knows that being honest is the only right answer.

there's still forever waiting for them, there's still forever waiting for charles to figure it out, to discover if he loves edwin in a romantic way too, and it doesn't matter if is not romantic in the end, because that it's just a side of the love they share.

i think is so important not to overlook something like that, not to let that pending romance overshadow the fact that they already love each other in every other way.

because in the end, we are talking about two boys that have experienced excruciating pain, that have seen horrifying things during all their existences, and in spite of it, or maybe because of it, are capable of loving each other in a way that's so pure and strong and relentless...

reducing the importance of it to a reciprocated romantic love seems so simplistic and inconsiderate to me.

Never thought I'd catch you blubbering. Wonder if Silco even saw that.

"Wasn't it a mirrored lotus design ring? In the language of flowers it means 'Eternal Love'."

"Does it? I didn't know. It doesn't matter. I doubt Himmel knew what it meant either."
