A something something something Barricade Day to everyone!
Oh, look, another picture with no people, no violence, no nothing! I'd claim artistic license, but the truth is that I simply hadn't had the time: I'd actually drafted and roughed out eight pages filled with people and events (and a fair amount of bodies), before I realised that I wasn't going to be able to perform three-day miracles. So five pages (and one panel) of empty are all that are going up.😬
tumblr posts about les amis is either "insanely detailed three paragraph essay about homoerotic symbolism in and amongst victor hugos ridiculously unnecessary rambling about how beautiful enjolras is" or "combeferre sits with his legs crossed like a lady send post"
To YOU he’s just a 192 year old dead revolutionary medical student who represented the logic of the revolution who lived much more normal than his counterpart, who was more human than man, the homo to vir, who liked the word citizen but preferred the word man and would gladly say hombre, who read everything, did theatres, followed lectures, explained the functions of artery’s, followed science, deciphered hieroglyphics, broke stones to look inside them, drew silk moths from memory, corrected the dictionary, both asserted and denied nothing, daydreamed, who was involved in issues of education, wanted society to raise intellectual and moral standards, believed that the narrowness of teachings and the scholastic prejudice would turn collages into artificial oyster farms, who was well-read, a purist, precise, polytechnical, hardworking, imaginative, who dreamed of trains and better surgical operations and fixing cameras and electric telegraphs and steering hot air balloons, who was the guide to the leader, who was not incapable of fighting but would rather be gentle, who wanted neither halt nor haste, who would rather let progress take its course rather than worship and incite revolutionary adventures, coolheaded but pure, methodical but irreproachable, phlegmatic but imperturbable, and who believed ‘good must be innocent’
