sometimes fanon makes jvj too sunshiny I feel like in the classic fanon way of sunshiny characters being positive & smiling & upbeat, which is not right bc he's too gloomy for that, but he's also not not like sunlight because like light is an important motif here for him & his effect on others, so- *suddenly remembers victor hugo already made the perfect metaphor for this in the original book 164 years ago*: "Jean Valjean gave way to one of those rare smiles which lighted up his face like a flash from heaven in the winter." yeah.
