"perhaps this man is my mother"
any post seine fic when Valjean tries to mope himself to death
i feel like you could do something so fun & compelling by juxtaposing specifically the image of valjean using a knife to cut javert's rope bonds with the imagery of a pruning knife cutting away dead wood + then the growth after that (re: tree pruning -> "a heart of wood cannot be softened" -> "a terrible situation! to be touched ... suddenly to become aware of the fact that one cherishes beneath one’s breast of bronze something absurd and disobedient which almost resembles a heart!" + all the growing/blooming energy around hearts/souls in the book). not just for the knife factor (although visually that's really good) but also. something something the body horror of having something (even something as good as a heart) growing inside you against your will (& even more so when it's like. metaphorically a fucked up plant. imagine having a plant in/as your circulatory system. metaphorically) contrasted with the emotional/moral horror of having him save your life against your will & the resultant change of heart. like some sort of way cooler & more thematically interesting cousin to hanahaki disease. anyways someday maybe this will escape the purgatory of my one million drawing wips but until then.
I've spent a long time trying to draw this & still haven't managed yet but another thing I've been contemplating in the meantime wrt this is this passage abt the trees at the convent:
Almost all the trees in the orchard were ungrafted, and wild. [Jean Valjean] budded them and made them produce excellent fruit.
and I keep thinking how much grafting as a concept adds to this particular sort of body horror. not to mention "made them produce excellent fruit". but also I don't know how one would properly communicate that because I feel grafting implies a certain degree of deliberate specific intention and care that jvj doesn't have in this particular moment/situation
other misc. bits & pieces I did of this that never really came together into anything coherent:
Rules of the Les Misérables magic system (as far as I can figure out):
As long as there is still suffering to be had, Jean Valjean cannot die
Jean Valjean has super strength which cannot be depleted by age or his poor ability to look after himself (up to a point)
Once a person has met Cosette, lack of proximity to her will slowly drain their life force
The dead benevolently haunt those they loved while alive (ily ghost!Fantine)
Javert has an incredible ability to recognise potential criminals (read people from lower social classes)
Eponine has the ability to blend into the background but cannot turn this power off
The only one immune to this power is Javert which isn’t very helpful
Ok. les mis angel themed wip dump don’t mind me . always get nervous sharing my unfinished work but they’re taking too long so

Daily old men sketches!!
The biggest Valvert shippers are always the grown men playing them on stage
those fics where javert walks into valjean starvation era. those vibes
"This adaptation of Les mis was ass but at least the valvert was peak" describes a lot of adaptations, doesn't it
Imagine that you marry the love of your life, and then a year later you find out that your dad, the kindest person you know, whom you were extremely close to, had always secretly hated him and considerd him an idiot. And you had no idea.
And now he got some old cop who makes fun of your husband all the time. I would bite.
