I Was About To Make An Impassioned Argument Complete With Bullet Points For Why Javert Didn’t Actually

1. I didn't say Javert wasn't poor, but it was decidedly better to be a policeman than a factory worker.

2. I don't think Fantine forgot how to live on nothing, what she had to learn was to keep up appearances of doing okay, which before working as a piecemaker she wouldn't have known.

Other than that I agree.

ngl i'm a bit puzzled here. if after being fired she needed to keep up the appearance of doing okay, doesn't that mean that before being fired, she had the substance of it as well?

also, and i realize this is subjective, but constant grinding misery without any relief at all doesn't mean anything. i'd prefer to think that fantine had a little sunlight before the storm clouds came back. maybe you don't think of working in a factory as a bright spot, but (meme voice) it's honest work. and for a little while, it took care of cosette. and those things are important to fantine, so i'll take it as a win.

that's all i got. have a good day man

Modern AU OT3 Joly/Grantaire/Courfeyrac

Joly’s Ring: pure silver with an engraving on the inside saying “Thomas Grantaire & Eric Courfeyrac”

Grantaire’s Ring: pure silver with splashes of color and the engraving “Eric Courfeyrac & Phillip Joly”

Courfeyrac’s Ring: Black onyx and the engraving “Phillip Joly & Thomas Gratnaire”

Five years after collage the three men had there lives together enough to officially settle down together and get rings. Grantaire and Courfeyrac designed Joly’s. Courfeyrac and Joly designed Grantaire’s. Joly and Grantaire designed Courfeyrac’s. They had a small ceremony with just them and a few friends where they swore to be faithful to each other till death.

Noot noot XD

pop into my askbox with ‘noot noot’ and I will put my iPod on shuffle and the fourth song that comes up I will write a drabble with our characters based on the lyrics

A bright pale creature appeared through the haze of pain and exhaustion, and he blinked through the blood and sweat to see it turn aside his torturer’s shoulder.

"What do you want? As I’m sure you can tell, I am busy," said Gorthaur’s velvet voice. A bell-like one answered.

Repeat after me,

Disagreeing with a ship is fine. Not liking a ship is fine. Discussing why you don’t like a ship is okay. Bashing a ship is wrong. Bashing a ship is hurtful. Bashing the population of that ship is rude.

finally pruned this blog down to less than 100 posts. I feel so clean and shiny and new.

I tried to draw Grantaire after a long time… apparently he gets hairier

HAPPY EPONINE PROMPTS!: Eponine and Cosette being friends and getting into gardening-related shenanigans together in whichever happier AU setting you prefer (post-barricades? Valjean adopts everyone? Fantine raises Cosette in Paris? Anything!)

I don’t know that there’s enough Shenanigans here, but there IS gardening, and it’s post-barricades, and I hope I did this prompt justice even a little, because it’s a very very good prompt.

It took days and days, of Éponine’s wounds healing, of everyone waiting for Marius to wake up, of Cosette holding herself very straight and speaking very steadily while her hands shook, of Éponine raising her chin and sneering and then again flinching every time Marius’s horrid grandfather raised his voice, it took days and days, for the two of them to decide that they didn’t have to be enemies, at least, and then more days for them to figure out what that meant, and then.
