Victor Hugo writes like a guy who looked at contemporary academics arguing about what past centuries’ literary works had really meant to say, and decided to include all of the relevant cultural context right there in the text just in case.

This is such a great idea to think about, because it means he thought it was really super important to include that the bishop had a conversation with a revolutionary, but not to explain why “et le dauphin?” was considered a complete counter argument to the entire French Revolution. That he wanted to make sure we knew the exact weight of the silver candlesticks, but he couldn’t imagine a universe where police inspectors were paid a living wage, so he didn’t bother to mention that Javert wasn’t. It’s incredibly funny to me, because it reads EXACTLY like that, and yet completely and entirely fails to be that

Victor Hugo was a well-known and notorious overspender and he got paid per page.

Why you think Les Mis is 12 billion pages and mostly filler?

He also sold the play rights to Hunchback of Notre Dame before he even finished it. His publisher was livid, as you can imagine.

prokopetz

That’s a common misconception. While it’s true that some of Victor Hugo’s early serialised work was paid on a word rate (or, more likely, a line rate), neither Les Misérables nor The Hunchback of Notre-Dame were ever published in serial form. Hugo received lump-sum payments for them that were not affected by the novels’ length; in fact, he famously refused to reveal how long Les Mis would be prior to delivering the finished manuscript, which reportedly caused his publisher no small amount of anxiety. He literally has no pragmatic excuse – he wrote them that way because he felt like it!

my fave thing about alligators is that evolution was just like.. “yeah that’s fine” and left them for 80 million years

- ever since snape’s “bottle fame, brew fortune” speech students just go on and on with it - “flambé success, bake brilliance” “Can you tutor me in charms?” “TUTOR you? I can teach you how to SAUTÉ EXCELLENCE.”

- [random object] is totally a hufflepuff

- remember that game where someone yells “SHATNER” and you have to overact? same thing except it’s “TRELAWNEY” and you have to use whatever you’re holding to make a ludicrous prediction

- a more popular variation is “LOCKHART” to make up a pompous story about using whatever you’re holding to drive the [monster] out of [town]

- calling hippogriffs “leggy birbs”

- “Our beloved headmaster Albert Dumpsterfire/Aqueous Disillusionment/Aberdeen Decapitation…”

- shitty incantations ( “The Graying Hair Charm? Make-me-bloody-ancient-osia.” )
