I'm fine, just Victor Hugo parallelling Javert refusing to bend his rigid moral code that the law upholds justice and goodness in his pursuit of Jean Valjean with Sister Simplice actually upholding justice and goodness by willingly sacrificing her moral code of never telling a lie in order to save Jean Valjean- his demonstration that personal values, no matter how well-intended, must sometimes be sacrificed in the name of helping others because every situation is nuanced and requires compassion and consideration for more than your own personal feelings on a matter- his suggestion that following a strict moral code that dichotomizes good and evil into clear and easy categories will inevitably twist you into a weapon against goodness but a willingness to revisit your moral code and adjust it as necessary to individual circumstances will make you a shield against evil- it got to me, ok.

you're my dog and to some extent my wife

i like a character who follows all of the rules their whole life and then ends up with big fucking nothing except their own self righteous #coping because the rules arent actually good for them or for anybody else

les mis fix it fic call that "less miserable"

Sometimes a cast of characters in a book or whatever is implied to be overwhelmingly white as that's just assumed to be the "default" so fandoms will take it upon themselves to do colour-blind casting to make it more diverse, but they haven't quite learned racist/colourist stereotypes and archetypes so now we've got people just doing. god I don't even know how to describe it. It's just bad
