Every Night I Think “wow This Might Be The Night I Go To Bed Early” And Every Time Without Fail I

Cho Gi-Seok: Memory (2024)

marius is so “oh no! anyway” about eponine confessing her love and then immediately dying that 1862 girlies could have started using “and by the way, monsieur marius, i believe that i was a little bit in love with you” as a preface to announce major geopolitical events

Thinking about the fact that both Cosette and Eponine are perfect portrayals of female adolescence, both shown in two different yet incredibly accurate ways, but despite that they both are referred to and treated like woman

I think there was even a line about Eponine how she was the type who just mostly skipped the stage of being a child

And I know a part of it is because the term "adolescent" wasn't there yet or barely just had been invented and societal norms were different but still

Two girls being so deeply just girls, just typical teen girls and yet viewed as women, the implications of their characters- AND THE FACT THAT JEAN VALJEAN IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES AND TREATS COSETTE AS A KID/TEEN???

And don't even get me on the parallels they are to each other's

GODDAMN I was not prepared to get so emotional over them when starting the brick

the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

It's an old tale

Saw this painting on my cruise ship and I couldn't help but think of the ABC crew. Enjolras in the red with Combferre and Courfeyac with him, obviously. Grantaire in the vest on the right (perhaps with Bahorel), Marius in blue to the left....

stay safe because i like being alive at the same time as you.

Last night I couldn't sleep and couldn't sleep just because I wanted so badly to spill over to someone. I feel that I'm cut off from all humankind. I feel like putting my head on your shoulder and weeping from sheer homesickness.
