also tbqh my interpretation of canon and my discussing adaptations and shit on this blog is so totally separate from my followers like... you kids do what you want to do and have a good time... i’m here to support you and my meta is unrelated... go hog wild.

Some of y'all don’t want fandom to be fun at all you want it to be like some kind of gd AP Lit class where all we do is have pointed debates over the most Correct interpretation of media like NO get fucked I will project onto my favorite character and write whatever shitty nonsense fic for whatever illogical pairing I want die mad about it

the ‘you’re all just mean’ meme but it’s ‘the amis were as good as to be expected of a les mis adaptation because aside from enjolras, grantaire, and courfeyrac ( and maybe combeferre and jehan if we’re going ham ), they’re not explicitly necessary to the plot as minor characters and can be swapped out for misc. background workers at any time, you’re all just mad they’re not as bumpable as you wanted them to be even though they were all acting their little hearts out’.

I’M READY TO DROP MY MAGNUM OPUS ON BBC LES MIS BEING FRAMED, SHOT, SCORED, AND ACTED LIKE A HORROR FILM.

when I say Valjean attacks Cosette like a monster in a horror movie, I mean… look at this framing. 

The Young Ingenue Walks Down The Empty Stairs, in her Striking Red Dress, hair loose, a proper Gothic heroine, her eyes fixed on the door–and freedom!

We see there is no one behind her 

She reaches the door! Still no one behind her!

Sweet escape!  A sliver of the world outside!

And then the door is slammed shut, as she’s seized by the menace that is now SOMEHOW RIGHT THERE

She fights, to no avail; the monster is stronger!

but oh, she’s safe. It’s too dangerous  out there. 

This is for your Own Good, Cosette.

@bobavader hey it’s been 6 years but i want you to know that after all this time last night at midnight my friend turned to me and said “do you think there’s any cowvert on tumblr” and i astral projected back to 2013

i’ve never had a romantic feeling ever in my life @asklemaire go directly to jail challenge.

[themanofonebook]

valjean actively wants to execute javert (and sure as hell isnt there to save marius) so he takes him out back and probably roughs him up a bit and asks him why he followed him everywhere and made his life hell and, thinking he’s about to be executed, javert confesses that he’s had confused feelings for a long time

Good Christian Jean Valjean is repulsed by this and shoves him away and is like you’re disgusting get out of my sight i don’t ever want to see your face again

javert is like ‘he’s right i’m a filthy degenerate i deserve to die’ and jumps off a bridge

davies says he’s Woke and this is exactly what hugo intended with the subtext and the abusive valvert stans grab their juice!

me: no fear me: realizes andrew davies has cut off every possible route for javert reasonably killing himself in a book-accurate or canon-adjacent way but has played up the ‘javert has repressed feelings for jean valjean and is obsessed with him’ angle at every opportunity and being the man he is might ACTUALLY have javert kill himself for Being Gay me: MANY FEAR

[themanofonebook]

At this point is this just nega-les Mis? No god, no redemption, just miserable people becoming worse?
