I really do love how Javert is the ultimate physical embodiment of the word “bootlicker.”

His entire personality is composed of “respect for authority and hatred of rebellion;” he grovels before anyone of a higher legal/social status, and thinks they can do no wrong. He puts all of his faith into the institution of policing. He worships his superiors in the police force and the legal system. He would sell out anyone who committed any infraction to the police, and would do it with smug glee.

I honestly cannot think of any fictional character who embodies the word “bootlicker” better.

I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite small Javert moments is when he’s attempting to get Madeleine to fire him, and….he gives Madeleine a salute even when Madeleine’s back is turned, and he can’t see the salute. To me it shows how much Javert’s bootlicking is genuine. It is earnest. He earnestly believes in his own inferiority and the necessity of constant groveling respect to authorities. They don’t need to police him— he polices himself. He grovels even when their backs are turned.

He doesn’t just lick boots for show; he licks boots because he genuinely believes it is the morally correct thing to do, that an “inferior” is legally bound to grovel before their “superior.” And he enjoys this groveling; he experiences a savage glee at his usefulness to authority; he loves the taste of boot leather.

He’s a bootlicker all the way to the bottom of his soul.

y'all can't re-release les mis- y'all won't understand the impact

made on every person in the 13-25 year old bracket

[hamlet-not-hamnet]

apollo is not impressed

[mispatchedgreens]

get yourself a man that hates everyone but mostly himself, that's powered by shame and spite, that would do anything for you, that would murder you

[shamedumpster]

28 or 32 for Javert?? 🥺

That's a very fitting palette for him!

(Both you and @kittycattscathy asked for the same thing, so here you go!)

[protectionsquad24601]

Something about people projecting their own political beliefs on the Les Amis... dude they were from 1832, you would call them bigots

the fun thing about having a les mis hyperfixation again in 2024 is that all of the most popular fic is sooo glaringly 2012 that it's almost painful to read. like you'll think you found a modern au that isn't going to suck and then in the second paragraph they describe Enjolras wearing skinny jeans...

you can also see when the fanon starts to kick in too because suddenly every other fic will make a point to mention that Combeferre has sleeves of tattoos?? which like..... all im imagining is that someone at some point made a tumblr post like "imagine Jehan with a flower crown! comebeferre with tattoos! courfeyrac with an undercut!" and everybody just rannnnnn with it

[antisocial-cheesepuff]

Courfeyrac: What’s the worst decision you’ve ever made?

Marius: Insulting Enjolras in front of Grantaire

[always-tired-plshelp]

It appears that we have completed the second day of the Barricade Days.

Still, we have the Third Day Left, which is Valjean and Marius' Sewer Adventure and Javert's Derailment!

So please, you're not late and keep calm and going on what are you doing for the Barricade Day.

[i-ideate]

the way my jaw dropped when i found out that Javert is the character receiving the fandoms babygirlification.
