Rushu42 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) For all of you musical fans out there, I have to point something out. The song "Do You Hear the People Sing" fits perfectly with the Parshendi. I can just imagine Venli singing this as the Highstorm approaches. The lyrics are below. Spoiler Do you hear the people sing?Singing the songs of angry men?It is the music of the peopleWho will not be slaves again!When the beating of your heartEchoes the beating of the drumsThere is a life about to startWhen tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade?Who will be strong and stand with me?Somewhere beyond the barricadeIs there a world you long to see? Then join in the fightThat will give you the right to be free! Do you hear the people sing?Singing the songs of angry men?It is the music of the people Who will not be slaves again!When the beating of your heartEchoes the beating of the drumsThere is a life about to startWhen tomorrow comes! Will you give all you can giveSo that our banner may advanceSome will fall and some will liveWill you stand up and take your chance?The blood of the martyrsWill water the meadows of France! Do you hear the people sing?Singing the songs of angry men?It is the music of the peopleWho will not be slaves again!When the beating of your heartEchoes the beating of the drumsThere is a life about to startWhen tomorrow comes And Javert could totally be a Skybreaker.

I mean, he stops a fight, saves a guy from under a carraige, helps Fantine, saves Cosette, joins the revolution to protect Marius, then ultimately drags Marius away through the sewers. But, yeah, I suppose he could also be an Edgedancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to write a fanfic where Javert is saved from death (like Szeth was) by Nale, and inducted into the order of Skybreakers.

Check out the Cosmere the Musical thread, There's something almost precisely like what you described somewhere in there (and the thread is just a good time.)

Necessary Eagle Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Nale is basically Inspector Javert with a magic sword. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet Javert is the inspiration for Nale. But back to the original title of this post, thematically, Venli would fit better with a tragic arc like Éponine Thénardier or Fantine, even if Venli's arc does not entirely turn out tragic.

Hmm. I don't know about that. I see Venli as more of the revolutionary who got in over her head than the tragic spurned lover. Her plot in WoR was about convincing her people to bond Voidspren and fight back against the Alethi. That doesn't really sound like either Éponine or Fantine. I mean, Venli was happily married (before her plan got her husband killed). And you can't say that the fate of Enjolras and friends wasn't tragic. They died for their beliefs, just like the Parshendi who were taken over by the Fused. Edited May 20, 2019 by Rushu42 Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
