#he has surpassed committing to the bit. he gaslights everyone around him if they dare to suggest the bit ever existed

feeling insane abt javert again.

he is a fascinating character to analyze + compare against valjean + is such an interesting personification of the faults of the french legal system, of the way lawfulness can become twisted when not tempered by mercy. dedication to the flawed human construct of justice versus dedication to the religious concept of mercy + forgiveness.

but. more importantly: javert is fucking hilarious. his sense of humor is so dry + off-putting. he takes himself so seriously but his comments are so jarringly silly. i adore my fucked up little plot device of a man.

#reading fics from javert's perspective make me literally laugh out loud #something about the way he phrases his words is utterly hilarious to me #his sense of humor is so DRY #and if u called him out abt making a joke he would look at u like ur fucking insane #which makes it 100x funnier imo #he has surpassed committing to the bit. he gaslights everyone around him if they dare to suggest the bit ever existed #i also just adore all the humor that les mis incorporates. i love love love dry remarks + witty understated comebacks #like ok yes everyone dies. but before they die they're FUNNY as HELL #javert #les mis
