always thinking about gillenormand getting all excited about marius’s return and calling cosette “a greuze”

because i feel like it’s kind of alluding to how the women in greuze’s portraits always have this faraway look and air of fatigue about them and implying the same of cosette which honestly sounds fitting imo because she always seems to have these dissociative undertones where she’s like, happy but also not entirely processing things, especially in this scene where all four people are kind of happily talking around the elephant in the room, and then later when marius and valjean won’t tell her what’s going on

Lesgles truly is the character ever because he’s bald and unlucky and that’s pretty much the only thing that anyone really pays attention to but then you start to investigate literally any detail that Hugo ever wrote about him and you begin to unravel like a multiverse of puns and wordplay about French history, religion, and politics and then you start to ask yourself, well, wait a minute, why did Hugo put so much thought into this background character who has a few witticisms and doesn’t really do much and so you start to investigate what exactly his deal is, like, what does baldness mean in a Hugolian context and what’s with his Bad Luck and hey, wait a minute, what do his “persecutions on the part of fate” imply in the broader context of Les Misérables, and so now you’re questioning core tenets of the rules of the narrative and then you look at his role in the book and the way that his misfortune is tied to the fortunes and fates of everyone he interacts with and the impact that he has on the events of the story and then you realize that the Bad Luck bit and the puns are really just a way to distract you from the fact that Laigle de Meaux is in fact some small god of the Les Mis universe.
