I'm feeling a little insane about Javert recognising Éponine at the barricade, whereas the people who should actually know and care about her repeatedly fail to recognise her!!!

here's her own father, Thénardier, not recognising her (4.8.4):

At the same moment, he perceived a pale girl standing before him. The man underwent that shock which the unexpected always brings. He bristled up in hideous wise; nothing is so formidable to behold as ferocious beasts who are uneasy; their terrified air evokes terror. He recoiled and stammered:— “What jade is this?” “Your daughter.” It was, in fact, Éponine, who had addressed Thénardier.

and here's Marius not recognising her (4.14.6):

The fire-pot allowed him to distinguish a blouse, torn trousers of coarse velvet, bare feet, and something which resembled a pool of blood. Marius indistinctly made out a pale head which was lifted towards him and which was saying to him:— “You do not recognize me?” “No.” “Éponine.”

but Javert, who knows her only as a juvenile delinquent he's arrested before—Javert recognises her, even after she's dead.

Javert gazed askance at this body, and, profoundly calm, said in a low tone: “It strikes me that I know that girl.”

I would also venture to say that the fact he brings it up at all, especially at such a critical moment (he's literally about to be shot as far as he knows), illustrates that he is actually bothered by this on some level.

(this train of thought was prompted by @secretmellowblog's excellent post about Javert + Éponine parallels)

One thing I love about the Munich production of LesMis: Javert is part of the finale 🥺 This makes such a conciliatory picture!

Her name was Éponine.

Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid.

@secretmellowblog meta'd on my shitpost (picking at parallels and patterns in character deaths, check it out) and brought up the connection between Javert & Éponine. I could chew on this topic at length, it's like gristle, not much to go on but you go on anyway. Couple of offhand thoughts:

These are two children of criminals who yearn for bourgeois respectability without believing in their ability to attain it. Because of the age and sex gap there's differences in how that manifests, alas—for men, there's a career; for women, a husband. (I mean, historically, there could've been a career for a woman, but in the context of a novel by Victor Hugo—less so.) They both aim lower than what they want. Javert, there's a whole melodramatic passage about it in the novel, check I.V.V. Éponine—well, why Marius? She could pine after anybody; she's might've fucked men of his social class or higher, and almost certainly ones wealthier. I think he hits a perfect blend of the bourgeois and the disreputable, prudery and good manners in a worn-out coat.

Occurs to me to wonder—do we have textual evidence that Javert has always conformed to his adult understanding of probity? Fic tends to take the course that he broke with his parents very young and functioned as an accessory to authority from childhood, but I don't recall there's definite evidence he wouldn't see a part of himself in Éponine's exploitation by her father. (I.V.V includes the phrase "as he grew up" prefacing the description of his attitude towards society etc. I could read a lot into those four words.)

In the back of my brain is a depressing Javert survives post-Seine unfix-it fic which functions mostly as a narrative accounting of why his return to the police would be a betrayal of his moral awakening (and why he might reasonably make that betrayal, should he survive—why should he grasp that the institution itself is nonfunctional, or functions to harm, when what's been fucked is his sense of his own ability to determine right?)—anyway, should such a thing be written, say that Éponine survives too so that she can become a police informer with Javert as her handler (before his derailment Javert would never, but if all criminals are not inexcusable, if not all crimes are to be punished, why the fuck not use informants, they're useful and the other officers do it). Éponine threatened to bring the police down on her father and PM; she's never going to be the kind of girl who the law protects, but she clearly thinks it functions well for someone.

... To be silly, the gap between Javert and Éponine isn't actually age, it isn't sex, it's that she is effective at accomplishing her goals (except for fucking Marius, sad trombone noise) while nothing Javert does stays done (except the once).

天空也许会下雨，可是群星无转移。

一开始只是想速涂个单色二分练习，就是图二那种样子的。最后还是忍不住上了层颜色。 晴空无雨，群星不移。

The sky may rain, but the stars do not move.

I just wanted to quickly practice monochrome splitting at first, the kind in picture two. In the end, I couldn't help but add another layer of color. Rain or shine, the stars remain unchanged. ⭐️✨
