during the Montreuil-sur-Mer era, Malkovich!Javert would be so annoying, actually. Any time he'd have a complaint, he would go to Madeleine and just talk his head off
and Madeleine would just be all stop wasting both of our times, Javert, but next week, Javert would be back with something new
additionally, Madeleine would often tell him to just offer the person to work at his factory, and Javert would just keep grudgingly recruiting more workers for Madeleine's firm because he could not refuse the Mayor

much as i love merlin and arthur they were NOT the blueprint. they were very nearly the blueprint, but the actual og's were from a book written in 1862 by Victor Hugo. that's right. it's enjolras and grantaire. the timeline goes exr-merthur-firstprince
Obsessed with fantine saying "je voulais rire, aimer et vivre" in the french version of Les mis because it means 'I wanted to laugh, love and live'. She was really just a live laugh love girlie

Valjean: Everyone has a secret inside of them, sir. I knew a man. I thought he had a heart of stone. It was scary how unyielding he was. And recently, I learnt they had found him, misérable, drowned in the Seine. (...) He took his own life. I would never expect that of him. Never.
Gillenormand: From the way you talk about him, I assume you were very close.
Valjean: We knew each other for many years. Well, he thought he knew me, but in reality he died before he'd learnt who I really was.
Les Misérables (2000), episode 4
🥺🥺🥺
No, he did learn who you were.
Javert thought he served justice that was always right, but he saw that a criminal could change. And it was a crime to let him go, and it was a crime to arrest him. And it broke him. So he arrested himself and took his own life.
But before doing that, he let a guy, who just wanted to see his wife and their newborn child, even though he was forbidden from entering Paris, go. He finally listened and didn't talk over someone he saw as a criminal and decided to trust the guy's words.
"You are different than the others. Before you judge people, you want to understand them."
rub it in harder, random guy
I really loved the character of Javert and his journey in this adaptation. And he had so much screentime 🥺
fine. FINE. i guess it's time to formally introduce you guys to the ambiguously late 2000s enjoltaire au that's been stuck in my brain for like a week now. i have ideas for the rest of les amis + others but only had the energy to draw these two losers
oh yeah and there's a fic that goes along with this but it's nowhere near finished at the moment -_- though it's currently sitting at 3.4k words if that's anything
