I KNOWWWWW IT WAS SO SAD. But wasn’t it all beautiful at the same time, and esp. Enjolras’? With GRANTAIRE?! *shrieks*

YES. Jean Valjean and Javert…that whole scene was just…yes. I love Valjean so much. And the respect Javert didn’t even realize he had just gained for the man after that… *flails*

Yes. Jean Valjean is an utterly selfless,…[Read more]

(And Gavroche, too. :”( )

@emma-flournoy

Yes! D’:

Yes, they’re the perfect foils!

Do you think he hates Marius still? I mean, he’s helping plan his and Cosette’s wedding and everything. They haven’t really interacted, so I don’t really know Jean Valjean’s feelings towards Marius – I know Marius accepts him, like as Cosette’s chaperon, but I bet if he knew that he was…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

I almost cried with Jean Valjean last night. :'( I feel so sad for him right now – he’s just lost his whole world! I feel like his thumb injury was just an excuse not to have to be the one that gives Cosette away and everything. 🙁 And now he doesn’t know what to do.

Is it not HEARTBREAKING? The poor man. Yeah, that with the thumb injury, totally. *weeps* You’re not done being sad, never fear. D”:

I dunno…it seemed pretty strong to me that he never really did get over hating Marius deep down for taking her, but he knew it was a bad thought and tried to get over it, and does all these good things for Mariu…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Yes! D:

I feel like he loves him because Marius loves Cosette. But that could also be why he hates him.

I wasn’t overly fond of Javert, but I did feel very sorry for him. 🙁

Jean has just told Marius pretty much everything. And Marius didn’t seem to know how to take it. He’d allowed Jean to come every evening, but he also made…[Read more]

Yeah, that works too. :'(

*broken sobbing* I know. Everything you said. It’s so very heart-rendingly frustrating. And you’re almost to the end… *distant wailing*

I know, I’m being slightly melodramatic. But I really did sob horribly for real over all this when I read it. It was blessedly cathartic. XD

@emma-flournoy

Oh… Jean Valjean is dying. :'( He can’t die! I only allowed myself three (short) chapters last night because it was very late (or very early, being after midnight). But I was dying to read more!

I wish I cried over books more. The most I get is a slight stinging in the eyes, or a bit of moisture. But sometimes I think, “I…[Read more]

*hugs you*

Well hey, that doesn’t mean you don’t feel them! I know that. I think I cry more than I should? anyway. 😛 Most of my family doesn’t cry that much at books. I have by no means a reputation as a crybaby otherwise, but books and movies just really get me. XD People just express it differently I guess. I know you’re feeling it just as…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

*hugs back* True, I know that, but sometimes it’d be nice to express it in some way.

I do sometimes cry during movies (ever seen Marley and Me? Oh boy!) but I try and stop myself, because usually everyone is there watching. But in bed, while I’m reading, I’m alone, and I wouldn’t mind letting out some feels.

Oh! I am (for once)…[Read more]

Yeah. I know though, it’s embarrassing if everyone’s in the room with you. What’s best is if they’re wailing just as much. XD Heh, no, I haven’t seen that one. Sad? XD

I know! I was rooting for Thenardier in that moment, just thinking…whoa bro, you think you’re being awful, but this is all working out to be so good and aren’t you gonna be…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

That’s why I said I wouldn’t mind, because I read in bed at night, so no one’s around.
Hey, I said I cried, didn’t I? Yes it was sad! XD If I tell you what kind of movie it is, you’ll guess why pretty much right away. XD

I didn’t like him still, I was impatient for him to finish telling his side so Marius could say, “No! He didn’t…[Read more]

WHOOEEE! Now the plot’s really thickening. And by now you’re probably REALLY in the thick of things.

Btw, isn’t it so neat that Gavroche is Thenardier’s son? I mean…he’s the total foil to his parents (and sisters sometimes) in regards to being poor and all that goes with it. He’s just so happy anyway, while all his dad can think of is…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Yeah! The revolution has really begun and it’s crazy. I haven’t encountered our friends yet, since Marius returned from seeing his grandfather, so I don’t know what’s going on for them yet.

Yeah, Gavroche is the total opposite – he is really happy! I think it’s because while they were well-off, his parents didn’t love him anyway,…[Read more]

*eternal sobbing*

Heheh. XD And mebbe some of it’s also that he’s learned to see the good in life no matter his situation, because he’s a decent chap. ;P

@emma-flournoy XD

Yep.

Wow, things are really heating up; Cosette is gone (at least, it looks like it), Marius has joined the bunch at the Corinth barricade, Eponine tried to make him die, but just died herself (poor thing; I don’t think badly of her even though she wanted my favourite character killed). Pere Mabeuf died, and Marius, expecting…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Uh oh. Jean Valjean found Cosette’s note in her blotter book, and he intercepted the one from Marius that Gavroche was delivering, and I dunno what he’s going to do!!!! D:

*shrieks* SO MUCH STUFF!!! Agh. You’ve probably already gotten over the climax at this point. Some pretty awesome stuff in there, eh?
Sorry my replies have been a little longer in coming; life’s insanely busy right now. 😛

@emma-flournoy

If I haven’t yet, I’m really close. It feels very climax-y. 😛

I read three more chapters than I intended to last night (I’ve taken to reading them in 3’s XD). The reason being, at the very end of the third, GAVROCHE WAS KILLED! And I couldn’t just finish there! D: :'( I tell you, I almost wanted to cry (and that’s hard to make me…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ve recently got it straight that it’s 1832. Yeah, I figured. There was talk of one having happened in July, but I don’t think the actual one has started yet.

XD Yeah, he’s cool.

Yeah. I haven’t seen any more of them since they fell asleep in the elephant.

Now Jean Valjean is possibly taking her to England! So Marius went to his…[Read more]

Yup, L’aigle (aka Bossuet, as I think it calls him more later) is like that. Really sweet as a general rule.

Yeah. XD

Yo, how cometh violin? Mine’s actually going really well. Has something to do with having surrendered it to the Lord recently, undoubtedly… so God gets the credit. We’ll see if I can quit trying to do it on my own. XD
Also,…[Read more]

Aha, I thought Bossuet was L’aigle. I recently came across him speaking, and I was thinking “He sounds like how Emma described L’aigle” and I remembered L’aigle wasn’t his real name, so I figured it was him. 😉
Courfeyrac seems really down-to-earth, but fun.

Things are happenin’. Marius just got Javert’s help in catching Jondrette, but I think…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

Yup. 😉 He’s great.

Ooooh. Such complexity, yes. XD I love those scenes.

Oh, yay for sickness. :/ Hope you get better soon. Yeah, that makes a lotta sense. I have problems with things out of my control. XD Well, maybe life’ll settle down sometime soon! I’m sure your violin misses you. 😉
Errrr…I’m not really sure. I’m fixing to finish the…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy
So, I was actually almost starting to wonder is M. LeBlanc wasn’t Jean Valjean after all! :O But his behaviour as soon as Javert entered the scene made me see the error of my ways. What was I thinking?? XD

Thanks. Life is more settled, it’s just sickness now. Yes, my poor widdle violin (which, fun fact, I named Orlando XD) is all…[Read more]

Ha! But of course, what were you thinking?! XD I love it. Javert’s arrival can always make such things crystal clear.

Well I just got sick too (yeah, overnight 😛 ), so we can be a team now. XD Aww…de poor widdle fing. *sniff* Orlando! 😀 That’s hilarious. A violin we have I used to play on I named Fili once, but my current one isn’t named.…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

I blame my cold-brain. 😉 Yes, it does. XD You know who’s running from the law (Jean) and who’s just confused (Marius). XD

Oops, I must have sent it over the internet – must be a virus 😛 XD Yay, sick buddies. XD lol, yes, Orlando (not that I refer to it as that all the time 😉 ). But I called it that because it was made by…[Read more]

XD

XD again.
Ooh, cool.

Nice.

;P
