#this is part of why i think valvert would be very funny as a concept

I personally can never get into all the fanon stuff that has Javert being a father figure to Cosette because I'm always like "well, he DID kill Cosette's mother....that was kind of a significant thing that happened...even in the musical he terrorized her a bunch, but in the book he terrorized her until she died in agony, and a big part of Cosette's character is that she doesn't know what happened to her mother and desperately wants to know....idk? I feel like that's sort of a significant Thing to leave out". Though again, I get it's because people are basing it on the musical where Javert is less evil to Fantine specifically

#tho#i think the funniest way to handle it in a post-seine valvert thing#would be to have Cosette hate Javert as much as Valjean hates Marius#(but for more justified reasons)#it's just Valjean and Cosette DESPISING each other's s/o's#looking at the person the other chose like "WHY WHY WHY''#Cosette being like 'I dont mind my dad is gay. But I wish he was gay for ANYONE ELSE. ANYONE ANYONE ANYONE'#this is part of why i think valvert would be very funny as a concept#it would be terrible#it would be one of the worst things that could happen#just a black comedy sitcom#so much awkwardness and passive aggression and repressed anger. it all comes to a head. hijinks ensue#Cosette should get to use Javert as a punching bag at some point (tags from OP)
