Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Having read the comment "Sometimes I feel like K is playing to an audience of 30 year old clones who have just been released into the wild and must learn how to be human," on Dr. K's Disco Elysium playthrough: 1) It struck true to me as someone who does watch Dr. K on occasion lmao. and 2) if Javert ever made it to the modern era, someone really needs to sit him in front of one of Dr. K's videos.

I feel for Javert because the dude probably started off life feeling like his existence is inherently wrong, and overcompensated in a horrible way. His character seems evergreen, and I can't help but yearn for him to have become unbroken even by a small amount. Ah, my heart.

[(Anonymous)]

... I think I'm too tired for this because I cannot for the life of me parse what this secret is trying to say.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: oh to submit myself to the mortifying ordeal of having a bad secret.

the TLDR is that I sympathize with Javert because I personally think he grew up badly, and has no proper socialization.

[(Anonymous)]

Anon, you are not alone.

[(Anonymous)]

I am genuinely confused by this secret. The commentary included about Disco Elysium is pretty spot-on, so I don't understand why people think it's for clones who don't know things about the world, and I understand even less what it all has to do with Javert, except that the world of Disco Elysium is vaguely French?

[(Anonymous)]

OP: I've explained it in another comment above yours but I feel for Javert because I think he grew up badly. Now I must laugh and cry as I deal with the consequences of submitting a bad, incomprehensible secret.

I also must laugh and cry at the Russel Crowe Javert. *dies*

AYRT

Oh, okay. Thank you, OP!

[(Anonymous)]

Philip Quast Javert is best Javert. I feel you, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: You understand me, anon, and I'm grateful for it. :')

[(Anonymous)]

For what it's worth, I understood it!

I'm autistic, though, and I often wish for someone to explain things to me as if I'd just been released into the wild and must learn how to be human.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not diagnosed with anything, but I feel much the same way. It always feels like people were all born knowing everything that I don't.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: oof, it's quite the mood, isn't it? No idea where everyone managed to get a hang of every unspoken ruleset for life, but wish they'd share lol.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: I'm grateful that at least one person here understood what I meant lol.

As a fellow autism-haver, but also someone who came from a hard upbringing where I had no one, I agree. I'm hoping things have been better for you though on your journey!

[(Anonymous)]

OP are you familiar with book!Javert? IMO right before his big date with the Seine, he was at a turning point and on the verge of becoming less broken, if he'd stuck around.

I don't know much about Disco Elysium but I think it involves social commentary on policing/law enforcement-is that the connection to Javert?

I agree Crowe!Javert is sadly laughable.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: I wish wish wish I was as clever as you and a previous anon thought I was for tying Les Mis and Disco Elysium together for a sensible reason, instead of the truth where I tied my fave from Les Mis and self-help advice.

I actually haven't read the book yet, anon! Perhaps I may muster up the strength to read through the whole dang thing just to get to part. Will my heart still crumble when I get there though? Probably.

Thank you secret maker!

[(Anonymous)]

OP: Thank you for having pity on my confusing ass lol

[(Anonymous)]

Ahhh now that I know Dr K is self-help advice. Your secret makes a lot of sense actually! I relate to Javert a little as well, in the sense that it seems so much more comfortable for the way my mind naturally works for things to be black-white and have a set of rules and clear expectations to follow. I know that he's a character who is supposed to be a criticism of the system, but I felt compassionate for him as an individual for being unable to wrap his head around nuance.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: Yeah, I just feel for him too! I feel there's a tragedy there in him being unable to comprehend forgiveness and an existence beyond sin and punishment. I'm grateful that you get where I'm coming from. Perhaps I need to read some fix-it fics though lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Send some recs my way if you find them, lol! I have a favourite if you ship him with Valjean but it's def M-rated
