staying over at your parents is like. wow I’ve spent some of the worst times of my life here feeling trapped and alone. I’m so glad I don’t live here anymore. I’m so sad I’ll never live in the same house as my siblings ever again. I miss being a child. I miss living with my family. or maybe I miss the concept of a happy family. the idea of something I never truly had. I’ve cried in this bed so many times. things have changed so much. I feel the ghosts of my younger selves in this room still. it’s good to be home.

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
