like who can be trusted …

oh! also since the last update, LoveSickPuppy-Marius sent a note to Cosette and she read it and fell back in love and then he came and confessed how ardently in love he was and they kissed, so that was wild and silly

Gavroche — you can’t even describe him as poor or little because of how he carries himself — takes under his wing two other youngins who have been abandoned (like himself)

and his father (the awful Thénardier) doesn’t even recognize him when G comes to the rescue… Thénardier is truly the worst.

just wanted to say that this book literally addresses seasonal depression lowkey

now we’ve got back to JVJ and Cosette’s POV… I had missed JVJ but maybe not cuz bro is SO ANGSTY about the possibility of a young man having a crush on his little Cosette (who has not only grown to be very pretty but is also very aware that she is).

And Cosette… well, supposedly she is “in love” … I’m pretty cynical when it comes to such “loves” when the two would haven’t even spoken…

Éponine makes me so sad :(((
also yikes Marius really is desperate
I have more thoughts but there’s so much that has happened ahhhhh

someone shut Thénardier up, please

just logging to say that it’s wild that Marius keeps his key in the lock when he goes out. Dude is just asking for someone to steal something.

also the Thénardier’s are back in the picture and they are worse than ever. I feel bad for Eponine to be honest

Halfway thru gang😤😤

our boi Marius was pretty emo for a second and then he saw a girl and fell in love AND STALKED her… legitimately stalked her, I’m not even joking

“Nothing like a stolen glance in the presence of the Lord” -Marius’ cousin, when he was following Marius (thinking he was seeing a secret lover at Mass)

In this section, simply put: Marius adopts an adoration and obsession with his recently dead father and his ideals AND grandpaps is not happy

Quote I thought was funny: “Down to his last suit, but never his last laugh”

Iiiii don’t know about this one …

phew almost half way… hah hah hah hah…

“Many years past and Cosette grew up” WOOOOOOOO

IVE REACHED VOLUME 3: Marius

Jesus is the embodiment of compassion

yall don’t understand that this book is massive -/like 1,500 pages long. I feel accomplished being at 35%

Anyway, Javert is a lunatic and was trying to play a cat/mouse game with JVJ but JVJ as a daughter now that motivates him even more to NOT be captured. Poor Cosette.

“Had I really forgotten? I am a child of hell, and I've spent too long in their heaven.” AHHHHHH

Cosette is freeeeee yippeeeee and the innkeepers remain da worst (well, besides Javert let’s be real)

also victor Hugo really said that a young girl without a baby doll is like a woman without a child aka not to be seen and I’m like “Well, some of us don’t have a choice, sirrr”

“…Christ’s very heart. This is who he is. Tender. Open. Welcoming. Accommodating. Understanding. Willing…gentle and lowly”

Noooooo he just said we gonna examine the Thénardier’s from every angle and I don’t wanna

we’ve made it to volume twoooo!! (titled Cosette) V.H. is going on about the battle of Waterloo and Napoleon right now … and I feeling like “PLEASE get back to the actual story”

the fall of fantine is so sad but then JVJ (aka mayor) swoops in “Virtuous and whole in the sight of God” to fantine 😭

also Javert has been introduced and he’s the worst

also “at that time a mustache signified respectability”

BOOK 4
“He knew how to do a bit of everything … badly” referring to Thénardier (the innkeeper)
- “Children of that age are just like their mothers, just smaller” referring to how Éponine was mean to Cosette when they were young
- “Social suffering begins at all age”
BOOK 5
- JVJ is a good and honest man now, comes and completely changes the town around—they don’t even ask to see his papers

the tension is rising ahhahdahahhskajaja

BOOK 2- Jean Valjean is introducedddd in 1815 “Will you set another place” -bishop, the words that changed the course of Jean Valjean’s life

BOOK 3- Fantine’s backstory time!! she is blonde fyi. Random notes: there is character called “the old lady” who is 23 years old… first Jane Austen, now Victor Hugo. Rough day for 23 year olds.
One of the Lovers bros mansplains about how sugar is death #diabetes

“Elizabeth added privately, "And how much I shall
have to conceal!"” Jane Austen, you little genius

“Jane will be quite an old maid soon, I declare. She is almost three-and-twenty!” -Lydia… ok so I’ll be quite the old maid soon as well, I reckon

AHHHHHH “The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense” -Lizzy

“to hear Lady Catherine talk which she did without any intermission” -J. Austen HAHA

“"In vain I have struggled. It will not do.” -Mr Darcy THE FIRST PROPOSAL
