I really do love how Javert is the ultimate physical embodiment of the word “bootlicker.”

His entire personality is composed of “respect for authority and hatred of rebellion;” he grovels before anyone of a higher legal/social status, and thinks they can do no wrong. He puts all of his faith into the institution of policing. He worships his superiors in the police force and the legal system. He would sell out anyone who committed any infraction to the police, and would do it with smug glee.

I honestly cannot think of any fictional character who embodies the word “bootlicker” better.

I’ve mentioned before that one of my favorite small Javert moments is when he’s attempting to get Madeleine to fire him, and….he gives Madeleine a salute even when Madeleine’s back is turned, and he can’t see the salute. To me it shows how much Javert’s bootlicking is genuine. It is earnest. He earnestly believes in his own inferiority and the necessity of constant groveling respect to authorities. They don’t need to police him— he polices himself. He grovels even when their backs are turned.

He doesn’t just lick boots for show; he licks boots because he genuinely believes it is the morally correct thing to do, that an “inferior” is legally bound to grovel before their “superior.” And he enjoys this groveling; he experiences a savage glee at his usefulness to authority; he loves the taste of boot leather.

He’s a bootlicker all the way to the bottom of his soul.

#I’m also glad to see the fandom has mostly keyed into this #inspector javert #Julie rose translates ‘mouchard’ as ‘snitch’ #les mis #which is…not a perfect translation #because I think ‘mouchard’ has some connotations similar to ‘bootlicker’ as well #it’s someone who sells you out to the police #to the authorities #but! #I also don’t think that’s a perfect translation either #I know Hapgood goes with ‘police spy’ for mouchard #which is a bit clinical and misses the derogatory connotations #but yeee!!

get yourself a man that hates everyone but mostly himself, that's powered by shame and spite, that would do anything for you, that would murder you

28 or 32 for Javert?? 🥺

That's a very fitting palette for him!

(Both you and @kittycattscathy asked for the same thing, so here you go!)

#les mis #les miserables #javert #my-art #the constellation for those wondering is Libra #for the scales of justice #I've never actually drawn Javert before! #At least I don't think so #I spend all my time over in the queer revolutionaries section of the fandom so hiiii everyone over here in the religious old man section #love what youve done with the place #suicide cw #suicide tw #Just in case #kinda comes with the javert territory but you know #asks

#i just got into this fandom im trying to say the right words #hii #les mis fanart #javert #prepare to be sick of me #you can tell which version im obsessed with (spoilers its 2012) #jellysandwichy art

[cryingbilldenbrough]

the fun thing about having a les mis hyperfixation again in 2024 is that all of the most popular fic is sooo glaringly 2012 that it's almost painful to read. like you'll think you found a modern au that isn't going to suck and then in the second paragraph they describe Enjolras wearing skinny jeans...

you can also see when the fanon starts to kick in too because suddenly every other fic will make a point to mention that Combeferre has sleeves of tattoos?? which like..... all im imagining is that someone at some point made a tumblr post like "imagine Jehan with a flower crown! comebeferre with tattoos! courfeyrac with an undercut!" and everybody just rannnnnn with it

#it's alll sooooo dated by the politics too #which is somewhat nostalgic for me because any fic that mentions politics written pre-2016 is sooooo hopeful #I've been having so much fun you guys #the world was a brighter place in Les mis fandom 2012 I think #les miserables

[antisocial-cheesepuff]

Courfeyrac: What’s the worst decision you’ve ever made?

Marius: Insulting Enjolras in front of Grantaire

#and he’s made a lot #bye bye marius it was nice knowing you #he finally cracked and dissed enjolras #and then his life flashed before his eyes #that’s grantaire’s emotional support revolutionary #only he’s allowed to make fun of him okay #god get with it marius #les miserables #les mis #les miz #enjolras #grantaire #enjoltaire #courfeyrac #marius pontmercy #fandom nonsense

Too embarrassed to tell my wife that I know all the words to I Will Follow You Into the Dark is bc of E/R

#les mis #do people still call it that #les mierables #book fandom where are you #enjoltaire

[anglerflsh]

La natura sta sguarendo and I'm channeling the frantic pacing into drawing

#[.art] #listen. I don't dabble in fandom all that much aside from posting art and discussions with the same three people #so I don't know the state of the les mis fandom. I don't know you freaks (neutral) I don't know what you get up to. I've been told it's mad #but I do want to organise my blog so this is getting maintagged #les misérables #javert #second disclaimer is I also don't know what the... standard interpretation for this guy is. I just searched how he's described in the book #as that seemed like the most reasonable source? I do know one (1) person in the actual fandom. kind of. but I am not asking #my point is I like javert

[la-pheacienne]

I saw a post somewhere (I can't find it now agghhh if anyone has it pls send it to me) about les mis characters and specifically Marius being an accurate representation of how french people behave irl and the example OP gave (I think) was a girl who currently has an Napoleon altar in her bedroom... Wherever you are I just want you to know that one of my classmates in college has a Napoleon phone case, meaning the back of his phone actually looks like this:

I asked him if he's a Bonapartist and he told me no, not at all. Then he looked away slightly embarrassed and he hid the phone. He has a mustache and was reading Proust and of course, he studies law.

#marius was actually fairly average ok justice for my boy #marius pontmercy #napoleon bonaparte #i stared at the poor dude for some time and i felt that i was objectifying him in a way #MAY I BE FORGIVEN FOR MY FANDOM SINS #he actually has MORE TRAITS in common with Marius mainly his family origins but I obvsly will not go there online #since you know #he's a real person #8000% convinced he doesn't know tumblr even exists so there's that #les miserables #the brick #aspa rambles #aspa reads les mis

I wrote a new Les Mis fanfiction, in a Victor-Hugo-inspired writing style! The summary:

Jean Valjean, exhausted from the barricades and the sewer, somehow finds the strength to drag Javert out of the Seine. He has no strength left for anything else. The situation rapidly devolves into tragicomedy.

Inspired by a tumblr post from @ Alicedrawslesmis:

“Oh god can you imagine Valjean having to jump into the Seine to get Javert out? the man has had No sleep for the past idk 40 hours and just had to crawl through 5 miles of sewer carrying a dead body and thinks he’s going to lose everything to the law and then this fucking asshole jumps off a bridge? and he has to jump after him? and swim like an olympic athlete against the current to get the guy out of the water from the rapids? that’s too much. That’s just god fucking with him at this point.

Valjean pulls Javert out of the water and passes out from the exhaustion of the last two days and Javert is like ’…great. Now I have to drag this man back to his apartment AGAIN’ but Javert is also exhausted from the last two days so it’s just a comedy of errors”

Thanks to @shitpostingfromthebarricade and @fremedon for beta reading, and to @alicedrawslesmis and @valvertweek for the inspiration!

#les mis #valvert #not gonna lie this is my favorite fanfic I’ve written so far #I had fun and I hope people enjoy it :3 #having beta readers really helped ! (barri and Ellen) #I hope the valvert crowd likes this one…though it’s a very different take than most of the stuff I see in the fandom XD #you can debate me on my characterizations but i can defend all my choices with textual evidence #and as usual all the weirdest stuff is just straight from the brick #(ex Javert hating thinking.)
