#Jean Valjean

[mimmixerenard]

I don't think we talk enough about that one line in the French version of Stars (Sous les étoiles)

English version

French version

Which can be roughly translated to "I will not grow weak / As long as he's not / Kneeling before me"

The inspector in VF is thinking thoughts, if you know what I mean...

Wait, how does the justice system work in Fallinel?

So, it's been confirmed by Brennan that elves in Spyre are immortal when they live in their homeland. This means that prison sentences in Fallinel are inherently useless - put Telemaine in jail for 1000 years and he'll come out the other side and say "hello again, tell me, what is fleek these days?"

The only confirmed method of punishment is Aelwyn and Adaine's incarceration during Sophomore Year, the magical equivalent of a torture chamber. To avoid this, Aelwyn goes into hiding in Solace - therefore losing her immortality (unless maybe she lives in the ruins of the Abernant home, which is politically Fallinel soil).

So, are all elven criminals punished by brutal multiple-year torture sessions? Did Jænn Væljænn spend 19 years sleepless in an orb for stealing a loaf of lembas?

Or, does Fallinel deprive its criminals of their right to life, by banishing them from their homeland and taking away their immortal lifespan?

I mean. I guess Fallinel probably doesn't have elven rights coded into their Dancers' Constitution. But still. It's kinda fucked up.

it's gay Valvert but idk. You can't blame me for putting Ramin and Hadley in everything. Blonde Javert is a personal thing.

While there's some things I enjoyed about the 1998 Les Mis Movie, I will NEVER forgive the ending. I'm sorry, but there is no world where Valjean would walk away smiling as Javert kills himself. Like, I'm not just saying this as a Valvert shipper - I truly think it's such a genuine disservice to Valjean's character to do that, considering that JVJ saves and forgives Javert MULTIPLE TIMES in canon. Valjean would not smile at anyone's death, especially not anyone's SUICIDE! Even if that person is Javert! He saved Javert's life, and you write him SMILING AS HE DIES? NO WAY!

I think JVJ and Javert are deliriously happy in love except when Javert says some shit that has JVJ turning round to look at him overwhelmed with the desire to tell him to shut the fuck up

It's Javert's chapter today!

This POV shift in the Brick is one of the most intriguing. Now we see everything that happened to Valjean after his initial escape from jail through Javert’s eyes. Since we won’t meet Javert again for quite a while, today I indulge myself in posting a lot about our inspector.

We discover how Javert was summoned to Paris by his patron, M. Chabouillet, to recapture Valjean. He succeeded that time, a detail we missed in previous presentations of events.

Hugo makes us think that Javert has forgotten Jean Valjean after that; he puts it so wonderfully: “the wolf of to-day causes these dogs who are always on the chase to forget the wolf of yesterday.” However, Javert’s subsequent actions and reactions suggest otherwise. He appears obsessed: “he was afraid of being deprived of his convict” (I will come back to some other peculiar phrases later). He took trouble to go all the way to Montfermeil to check an incident with the abducted child because he remembered the name of the child’s mother too well and associated it with Valjean. And he also recalled that Valjean was getting into the coach to Montfermeil. Despite knowing that Valjean is dead, Javert still goes there to check. Absolutely healthy attitude, I would say. It’s also amusing that it was the “respectable and extremely reassuring name” of Lambert (made up by Thénardier) that calmed Javert down.

However, he hasn’t forgotten about Montfermeil and the abducted girl and connection of this story to Valjean. And, of course, Paris is such a small city that a rumour about a man in a yellow coat living with a girl from Montfermeil reached Javert and piqued his interest. Seeing the face, which he almost recognized as Valjean’s, shocked him, but it was not enough to make him sure; Javert needed to hear his voice and for that reason he moved into the Gorbeau house (but still didn’t have a chance to hear Valjean’s voice).

And then the hunting begins, and Javert goes into predator mode. In this chapter, he is likened to a spider, a tiger, a cat, a dog, and a huntsman.  So much is going on: “when Jean Valjean believed himself to be the most secure Javert’s eye had been on him”—there is something very intimate in this. Javert “began the game,” he “experienced one ecstatic and infernal moment,” “enjoyed himself,” took “delight in strangling.”

Hugo provides an interesting detail about the public sphere controlling the police: "the free press embarrassed it," keeping them in check. Even though Javert always plays by the rules, he additionally should consider this oversight. Valjean and Cosette are fortunate that Javert is overly cautious.

Well, after this chapter I can say that Javert is almost effective in his law-and-order duties, organizing the hunt and pursuing a convict. If only he were chasing a dangerous criminal, not an old man with an exhausted and scared child.

He added, after a pause: “Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.”

Have you ever considered wearing your hair in a messy bun, Javert? I think M. Fauchelevant would have positive things to say on the matter.

Oh. Alright, I'll try. I've only ever tied my hair up one way. I... I think I'm going to need to ask him for help.

I don't think he liked it very much. He refused to make eye contact with me. Oh well. I didn't like it much either, but it was... nice of him to help.
