[secretmellowblog]

It’s fascinating how Jean Valjean is constantly associated with imagery of being buried alive.

His literal near-burial in the coffin outside Petit-Picpus is the most obvious example of that. But it’s in the sewers chapters as well— he has to face the horror of nearly drowning and being buried alive deep underground in the filth beneath the city.

And that imagery a running motif throughout his entire storyline. His imprisonment is constantly compared to as a burial, a living death; being in prison is like being trapped and drowned underneath an enormous weight, unable to move, unable to escape, with everyone around you refusing to acknowledge you are still a living human being.

In his dream before the Champmatheiu trial, Jean Valjean had a nightmare where he’s surrounded by a faceless crowd of indifferent people, who tell him:

‘Do you not know that you have been dead this long time?’

I opened my mouth to reply, and I perceived that there was no one near me.

The core horror of Jean Valjean’s plotline is the horror of being buried alive. It’s the horror of being constantly told that he is dead when he’s still living and suffering and desperately struggling to escape—- but suffering alone while he’s buried in a place so deep that no one can hear him.

y’all know what’s a little crazy? the fact that in fandoms, especially those, which are based on books, podcasts etc. where you don’t know how the characters look, most of the fanart looks p much the same. like ofc there are differences but with major things there’s p strong consensus within the fandom. i find that kinda crazy but really fascinating.

same thing with fanfiction. people just decide what kind of traits do these fictional characters have and everybody just agrees? like i love it but it is kinda weird but also really fascinating.

ive seen like so many posts about how jonny sims doesnt know how to name characters things other than michael but like in les miserable three male characters had first names and two of them were fuckinh jean. one of them was basically john mcjohn and all the other male characters just went by their last names

[secretly-an-automaton]

Sasha James (The Magnus Archives)

Diana (Market of Monsters) —this series does have some canon ace characters though

Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games)

Arthur Lester (Malevolent) —this one’s a pretty widely accepted headcanon

Sam Manson (Danny Phantom)

Raven (Teen Titans)

Enjolras (Les Misérables) —just listen to Red & Black

note: "general" means it's not necessarily super ship-focused, and is generally more about the characters themselves

Just got into the poll making vibe today

[hesperidiumsky]

what’s ur fav little guy?

I couldn't possibly choose between little guys, so have a list (not in any particular order).

1. Sir Damien the Pious. He has anxiety. He has religious trauma. He has issues with his father. Clinging to him like a life preserver.

2. Sir Angelo the Strong. Light of my life. Huphuphup.

3. Gerry Keay. He does arson and was a ghost for a hot second.

Honorable mentions:

1. Juno Steel. He's not so much a little guy as he is a lady who is a PI and also a space criminal.

2. Gavroche. Little guy of all time. Even if he's not my primary little guy at the moment, little guy of all time.
