so this is what i've been thinking about... PLEASEEEE SEND ME ASKS OR REQUESTS FOR THEM!! I would love to explain as much as i can/draw more doodles of them... Also if anyone could come up with a name to call these designs i would appreciate it, because i'm not sure..

These are a collection of polished doodles from the last few days. I really liked the shape-y animals i could assign each charachter. Here are mostly Valjean and Javert, but Cosette's design is on here too!!! I assigned them the animals purely based on vibe and certain connections the brick makes. I also have a few designs for les amis and the thenardiers but i'm kinda working on those.... I have to admit if the Amis weren't such special charachters they would all have been beavers (barricade haha get it? Get it??) so:

A lark for Cosette

A wolf/Fox/shadow/thing for Javert

A Big Cat for Valjean

Also a valvert tidbit because it makes me happy

made a post a while back on how javert's suicide is often poorly portrayed in film adaptations to the point of accidental comedy, and how the 1978 movie in particular is the most unhinged example. audio warning for a loud trumpet blast, don't turn up your volume

Don't quote me on that, but I might start a series of quick digital portraits of the Les Mis characters for whom I've already hc a design

Finally got around to making an actually-coloured artwork of how I see Javert! Although, don't mind the uniform, I did not aim for any kind of accuracy here hah

entre chien et loup aka OLD FRENCH MEN YAOI!!!! OLD FRENCH MEN YAOI!!!!!!! THERE IS NOTHING ON EARTH THAT WE SHARE IT IS EITHER VALJEAN OR JAVERT

He grew up thinking himself outside of society, and despaired of ever entering it. He noticed that society irrevocably closes its doors on two classes of men, those who attack it and those who guard it; he could choose between those two classes only.

Another thing I think people miss about Valjean and Javert is that they view Valjean as the emotionally honest/open/expressive one, while Javert is the dishonest "closed book" who is impossible to read. In the novel it's almost the opposite, at times? Javert is compulsively honest; he's repeatedly described as being so honest that his entire soul is visible on his face, or so honest you can look into his eyes and see all the way to the bottom of his conscience. He's physically incapable of pretending to feel things he does not feel or believe things he does not believe. He is literally unable to lie. Yeah Javert generally expresses his emotions in restrained, stoic, austere, controlled ways (except when expressing glee/fury during arrests)-- but he is honest about them. He may not break down weeping in Madeleine's office, but his entire soul is visible in his face when he earnestly (if stoically) discusses his failures.

Jean Valjean is an excellent liar, out of necessity. He's often described as being utterly opaque and unreadable. If Javert's entire soul is visible on his face, then Jean Valjean's face is often blank. He needs to play the part of the Respectable Polite Bourgeois perfectly or he will be discovered and dragged back to prison, and so he plays the part very well. One of his greatest assets is that he has a perfect "pokerface" in moments of great tension and distress, which helps him defuse conflicts or evade suspicion. His politeness/strict control over his emotions/tranquility are described as his defense mechanism, the shield he uses against people who are trying to hurt him. He is serene, he is polite-- he lies constantly and no one ever knows who he is or what he's thinking. I think the scene in Madeleine's office where Javert is trying to get himself fired really shows the difference between the two of them, for me? Javert and Jean Valjean are both obviously very good at restraining and controlling the way they express their emotions.

But Javert is entirely earnest in this scene. He's not breaking down and weeping, but "his entire soul is visible in his face." He doesn’t lie. He is utterly sincere in everything that he says, including his hilariously deranged rants about hating kindness. Jean Valjean spends the entire scene lying. In "Tempest in a Skull" we see that scene from Valjean's point of view, and are explicitly told that everything he says/does is out of terror of the "great danger" Javert represents. He’s attempting to remain as calm and polite as possible, because that's what "Unsuspicious Bourgeois Madeleine Who Has Nothing To Hide" would do. He spends the entire scene being insincere. Jean Valjean isn’t emotionless: he IS kind, and sweet, and often feels genuine care/pity for other people. I think the line "he smiled to avoid speaking and gave to avoid smiling" (and the way he breaks into people's houses to give them money) is a good summary of the way Jean Valjean's genuine kindness rubs up against his terror of sincerely connecting with other human beings.

But, except in rare instances of extreme emotion, Jean Valjean is also very hard to read.

He's calm, tranquil, serene, mild, kind, pitying, polite-- and he is opaque.

Hi Javert ! Have you met Monsieur Fauchelevent daughter, Cosette yet ?

I’ve met her.

She seems… pleasant.

Ophelia'd

#[.art] #les mis #about an hour and ten minutes' worth of hatching by hand so I couldn’t let it go unposted #I saw a post a good while about what if someone drew him like that Ophelia painting and here I am. Doing just that #javert #inspector javert #trying to hatch wet clothes is a pain by the way. Don't do this to yourself

[wanderinghedgehog]

I feel like I should start judging various Les Mis adaptations based on whether or not Javert looks like he has night vision. Some of these actors just don’t look like they possess in their eye the feline phosphorescence of night birds.
