Marius Pontmercy

11 and 14

(for the character ask game)

11. Would you date this character?

OH SWEET MERCIFUL PLOT GODS NO. A THOUSAND TIMES NO. NEVER EVER. This guy is SO many problems and none of them are ones I want to deal with, even the hypothetical older version of him that wouldn't be horrifyingly young and unbaked to me. Do I even need to enumerate the issues XD I wish Cosette ALL joy of him but gad no.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

EMOOOOOOO emo emo all day

pictured: Marius , And A Friend

(Sourced from that same Wiki article) (If you think I need to explain this choice...go read the Wiki article XD)

this was very funny to contemplate, thank you!

One fascinating thing about the way Hugo writes Jean Valjean's inner conflict is that we're almost never actually in his POV when he makes his final decisions. We spend chapters and chapters exploring Jean Valjean's thought processes as he agonizes over difficult moral choices, but in the final crucial moment, when he actually makes his choice, Hugo "cuts us off" from his internal monologue. We view what his final choice looks like from the outside, from the perspective of other characters. This is especially significant because Jean Valjean, from the outside, is often pretty unreadable. He is uncannily calm, tranquil, and polite. He's opaque. There's a moment where he's described as a "whirlwind within, calm without;" Jean Valjean uses excessively polite behavior as a defense mechanism, "picking up his calm the way a warrior would pick up his buckler." The most obvious example of this is the Champmathieu trial, where Jean Valjean agonizes over whether to turn himself in. We spend chapter after chapter inside of his POV, exploring his terror and inner conflict as he weighs his options and invents a thousand excuses for himself-- we explore his trauma-fueled reactions to the concept of returning to prison in painful, agonizing detail, from his horrific memories of prison to his surreal nightmares about being buried alive. The tension builds as chapters fly by and he still hasn't made his final decision, as he hopes some unforseen accident will prevent him from making it to the trial and he won't have to make the decision after all-- But in the final moment, when Jean Valjean *actually* makes the final choice...we're not in his point of view. Instead, it's told "from the point of view" of the courtroom, and Jean Valjean's strange heartbreaking serenity is described solely from the outside. At the moment where we most want to hear what Valjean is thinking, we're abruptly cut off from his inner monologue. This becomes even more tragic when the "adrenaline rush" of the courtroom fades away and we witness the aftermath of the trial. When Jean Valjean returns to Fantine, we see him from the point of view of Simplice and other characters. He's described as behaving "mechanically" as if in shock. From the outside he appears eerily uncannily "tranquil" and completely opaque. It is impossible to tell what he is feeling or thinking. Jean Valjean responds to Javert's violence toward Fantine with an icy, eerily tranquil restrained fury: threatening him with a leaden bar, saying "I advise you not to disturb me at this moment"-- but you can feel behind that restraint the weight of all the grief/anger from the previous chapters, which he's incapable of letting himself express openly. He has made this horrible nightmarish sacrifice that he's been agonizing over for thousands of words, he's facing unimaginable violence and grief--- and in the moments where we most want to hear how he's reacting to this, "the line goes dead." We're brutally cut off from his mental state and left to imagine what he might be feeling.

After a few moments of this meditation (Jean Valjean) bent towards Fantine, and spoke to her in a low voice. What did he say to her? What could this man, who was reproved, say to that woman, who was dead? What words were those? No one on earth heard them.

Reminder to fellow disabled people that it is okay to be upset or angry at yourself and your body for being disabled.

It is okay to grieve and mourn the movement and health you have lost over the years.

It is okay to believe that you are ‘too disabled’ to live a proper life.

It is okay and normal to have these thoughts about your disabilities, but they should not stop you from living the best life you can, and fighting for yourself and other disabled people.

what i thought they'd be like when i started:

xavier: the stoic-but-secretly-shy mild-mannered love interest

zayne: the serious-with-a-sad-past cold love interest

rafayel: the flamboyant-and-careless playboy love interest

what they turned out to be:

xavier: the "i only care about mc" possessive love interest

zayne: the stoic but secretly cute childhood friend love interest

rafayel: the bratty and clingy younger love interest

Happy "Marius slams his head into a tree for two hours while Cosette cries" Day to all who ..uh... observe???

[knownoshamc]

what makes me so sad about that whitewashed painting (as in all the paintings Armand posed for, I am sure) it's that Armand was always abused because he was beautiful... and yet even that beauty was not good enough to be portrayed in the paintings that could be displayed in people's houses, in museums centuries later. His beauty always came with a price and he can never be admired without having to pay it. Even those damn paintings he paid for and he still looked like they wanted him to, not like he was.

It's so funny that everyone's inner thoughts in the invitation are related to the game while I-don't-wake-up-before-nine Vyn is like "why are y'all frolicking on the STAIRS this early........"
