I’m so angry you are so lucky my nine weed smorking boyfriends are rubbing my shoulders to calm me down I’m so mad.
On my last read-through of the Brick, I marked and compiled all of the times Jean Valjean smiles or laughs. Because I had a sneaking suspicion that most of his smiles are sad ones.
I was right. (List under the cut)

“Cosette, I bless thee. I am going to explain to thee. Thy husband was right in giving me to understand that I ought to go away; but there is a little error in what he believed, though he was in the right. He is excellent. Love him well even after I am dead. Monsieur Pontmercy, love my darling child well. Cosette, this paper will be found; this is what I wish to say to thee, thou wilt see the figures, if I have the strength to recall them, listen well, this money is really thine. Here is the whole matter: White jet comes from Norway, black jet comes from England, black glass jewellery comes from Germany. Jet is the lightest, the most precious, the most costly. Imitations can be made in France as well as in Germany. What is needed is a little anvil two inches square, and a lamp burning spirits of wine to soften the wax. The wax was formerly made with resin and lampblack, and cost four livres the pound. I invented a way of making it with gum shellac and turpentine. It does not cost more than thirty sous, and is much better. Buckles are made with a violet glass which is stuck fast, by means of this wax, to a little framework of black iron. The glass must be violet for iron jewellery, and black for gold jewellery. Spain buys a great deal of it. It is the country of jet ...”

Les Misérables | Fantine & Her Friends Illustrated By Renato Guttuso (Italian Edition, 1966)
happy valentine’s day to these two only. to the rest of u, idk happy sunday i guess
i mean this is not exactly groundbreaking but like..... the others would not have done what R did. they didn’t throw themselves in the line of fire when prouvaire was executed. this is not to say that they wouldn’t die if it meant saving their friends. it’s just that none of them had a death wish. dying alongside enjolras doesn’t save enjolras or fix anything. if it had been any of the others, they would have chosen life. but grantaire didn’t really have anything else to live for. that’s what makes it so tragic. the only one who had any chance at survival was the one with no principles, no faith, no ideals, and therefore nothing to live for, and so he chose death.
remember when i said this….. wtF! all i do on this account is reread old nonsense posts and be like “so true….”
I have a new edition !! It's an Italian edition published in 1966 and illustrated by Renato Guttuso. This edition contains colored and non-colored illustrations and WOW it’s really big ( 26x33 cm )
Here is the painter ( Renato Guttuso ) and Victor Hugo
I like that in the beginning there is a definition of the characters ( Jean Valjean, Javert, Thenardier, Bishop Myriel, Fantine, Marius and Cosette )
I don't think I've seen these illustrations before
I really LOVE this style of drawing and colors it is so charming !! It also reminds me a bit of Hugo's drawing style ? Idk
you can post like, not even opinion, just straight up facts about the actual text of a classic novel and someone who has never read the book but has seen a couple fandom-style posts about it will try to argue with you
fandom wide mandate that everyone has to re-watch the source material in steady intervals to minimize intense fandomization of tropes and characterizations that happens when people go without new source material for too long
