you would simply not believe the atrocities that this audiobook reader is committing anytime he’s reading eponine’s dialogue. he wants it to be VERY CLEAR she’s the ugly girl

the many, many, many pages ranting about convents nearly undid me but I made my way back

I just really feel like if the audiobook narrator comes across a like that’s in the musical (current example being “my name is marius pontmercy”) they should be legally obligated to sing it idk

I feel like Marlin the clownfish in Finding Nemo when he says to Squirt the turtle, “you’re really cute, but I don’t know what you’re saying!” except that it’s me to a long-dead Frenchman, telling him that yes, he can write well, but I need him to explain to me why the last two hours of the audiobook have been about convents (while also at the same time respecting his hustle bc paid by the word)

javert is nothing if not consistent in regards to his Complete Inability to Chill

I really hope victor hugo didn’t think he was being sneaky every time he reveals that the dramatic stranger who is doing way too much in the plot to be a rando is jean valjean

love that victor hugo was so inspired by ABBA’s “Waterloo” he decided to write dozens of pages about it

rip jean valjean you would have really benefitted from zoloft

I’m already unbearably sad so this is going to be a mess

taking a break from my boy poirot for a bit wish me luck 🫡
