2014 Summer Valjean/Javert Exchange [x] Prompt: Pokemon AU
(redraw of Hyoie O’ Grady and Paul Wilkins backstage, thank you to the helpful user who was able to tell me that!!)
extremely funny btw. gavroche is like wait this adult is telling me i CAN smash streetlamps??? and valjean is like go wild kid. here's five dollars
Im actually obsessed with the asian joly headcanon and that is because he's a short silly guy with whimsy and joy in his heart who loves to learn but is anxious but trying to push past that. And boy if that doesnt sum up literally so many seasian ppl i know
“The man remained silent for a moment, then said abruptly, ‘So you’ve no mother?’
‘I don’t know,’ replied the child.
Before the man had time to respond she added, ‘I don’t think so. Other people do. But I don’t.’
And after a pause she went on, ‘I think I never had one.’”
(LM 2.3.7)
everything about this exchange kills me. cosette’s simple acceptance of “I don’t” as if her existence as a motherless child is just the way it is. not a mystery, not a tragedy—she just inherently exists outside of other children’s reality.
it’s one small moment, but it encapsulates the age-old attitude that the status-quo will never change, that systems of oppression are simply a natural and unavoidable reality. and that perception squashes any potential to imagine a different way of life.
(only for valjean to show up at the inn all like “actually cosette, you are NOT inherently alone and unloveable, you are NOT destined to an existence of servitude and poverty, there IS another way of life for you and we’re going to go find it together”)
