#read 'the brick'

[for-the-love-of-javert]

I don't know what to do with myself atm

Read 'The Brick', do some drawing, start work on the second chapter of my fanfic, get stuck into comparing the Music/book versions of Javert's Suicide and see how the lyrics match the text in the book, do some random posting, watch a movie or a podcast/livestream, do some cleaning. I'm so indecisive today it's beyons my ability to even choose strong enough words to describe it.

Absolutely in love with the Hotguy Comics Zine [go read if you haven't] so I ended up making @/isjasz's CuteGuy into a skin. Full credit to her for the design and the logo used everyone go look at her art

Jacket is removeable too by toggling the hat layer on and off in game btw!

I feel like I understand people's blorbofication of Javert because I get why someone would really cling onto a complex (male) antagonist with a traumatic past whose entire life is a lie and who kills himself when he reaches that final moment of realization. It is absolutely tragic, and it is easy and natural to cling onto that, we've all been there. But you need to understand that two things are in motion here: the first one is Javert's individual tragedy, and the second one is the broader system he personifies. He's a symbol. His primary function in the narrative is to personify the hateful, bigoted, cruel, inhumane legal system that intervenes after the fact and crushes all those that society has already put down. He, the incarnation of that bourgeois legal system, delivers the final blow. He finishes off what society started, and he does it with joy. When we say that he killed Fantine, it's not even about Javert the individual per se. It's about the entire system he represents. That system killed Fantine and Javert is its flesh and bones. Fantine was a poor girl that was exploited and let down by society in every single way and when she was herself a victim of actual physical violence, the Law, personified by Javert, instead of protecting her treated her like an animal, dehumanized her, humiliated her. The Law was scandalized that a woman like her dared attack the bourgeoisie. The Law was horrified that such a disgusting creature got medical care because she should just drop dead on her street. The Law rejoiced in tearing down her sole protector. The Law prevented her from getting her child back from the con artists that have been stealing her for years because the Law doesn't care about the crimes committed against marginalized people. That's not its function. Its function is to use its discretionary authority in order to dehumanize and punish people that ended up on the wrong side of the street.

So when you come at me with nonsense that Javert "didn't tEchNIcALLy kill Fatnine", "he was just rude", "he was just bitchy", "he just stole her final happy moments", respectfully, you don't know what you're talking about. Javert absolutely killed Fantine. He's not the only one who did but he eagerly and enthusiastically precipitated her execution, and that is the entire point Hugo is trying to make. Your arguments against it are nothing but a mere technicality that stems from the fact that the individual's actions technically do not qualify as manslaughter. It's as if we literally had an individual at court and we were thinking of whether or not to condemn him for manslaughter. It's not about that. It's not about your blorbo and his sadness. Your blorbo has a whole other function in the narrative. You have completely missed the mark of the entire book and you have let your personal emotional attachment for a character prevail over Hugo's main argument about the structural punitive violence that literally kills people. Javert being the product and the embodiment of an entire system that exceeds his individuality does not mean that, as a police officer, he's not responsible for his actions or their consequences. On the contrary, he's precisely entirely responsible for the structural violence committed against Fantine, that's what "embodiment" actually means, that's what we mean when we say that he personifies that system. Absolving Javert of his crimes goes directly against the themes of the book, because while systems operate above individuals by definition, they need those individuals to function. The system needs Javerts. Javerts are everywhere around us, yes even today and it is important to hold them accountable for their crimes. I can't believe I have to explain this tbh.

Golisa anyone?

Disney's Gargoyles won my fanart poll for August and I was super happy to return to this classic! I didn't get to watch the show much as a little kid because we didn't have Disney Channel, but whenever we stayed in a hotel I would look for it. It introduced so many of us to one of my favorite voice actors of all time, Keith David, and helped make Goliath one of my favorite characters!

Ghost Bricks is OUT!

Cover art by Jerome Timinski

Out around The Rockies and too many disasters deep, three young scavengers have become fast friends amid a dangerous and uncaring world.

Tiberius Casella, street-smart and confident, leads the gang from one job to the next with just a grin and a prayer.

Sloan Schaffer, a sharpshooter with a too-quick trigger finger, keeps the worst foes at bay.

And Asher Davis, caring, quiet, and tough as an ox, might just be the glue that holds the whole gang together.

The bond they've formed, however, has yet to face it's ultimate test. What happens when a father's gift turns out to be a curse? What happens when a greater evil turns its eye on the group? How can three kids with nothing but luck on their side hold it together against the odds?

Ghost Bricks (volume 1) is done after two long and chaotic years of work! It all started as a strange dream (literally, I had a dream about it) and now it's real!

There is a free demo available here!

The book available for purchase in digital form on my ko-fi, and through all the stores at this link!

everything abt phoenix and edgeworth makes it seem like edgeworth is Cool and Composed while phoenix is on the urge of a mental breakdown at all times, and while that is true about phoenix, I think it needs to be said that edgeworth is equally flappable. he gets startled in court and does the shinji chair meme standing up. he feels one emotion and visibly sweats. man is not Easy to read but he is like a small dog in the way that you can tell when he is distressed

your narumitsu art made me weep with joy and I heard you want more requests 👀

idk if this is the right place to put them but I think phoenix coming with miles to try on his glasses for the first time would be sweet :,) miles asking how they look and phoenix being just smitten. the good stuff

Dear anon… you sure know how to pick em! Things got very out of hand very quickly while drawing, and well. You inspired me to draft a comic! I didn’t want to make you wait long, so here are the sketches for the pages relevant to your request <3

Thanks so much, and hope you enjoy~! 💜

HES SUCH A DORK I LOVE HIM

x.i.xiv

[la-pheacienne]

marius is always so passionate about everything and yet he never belongs anywhere. he's impressionable yet distant, reckless and impulsive yet observing from the outside. he's obsessive yet fickle. he is ready to give his life like it's nothing yet he's not truly one of les amis. he never went to their meetings, yet he will forever mourn their loss. he refuses the comforts of the bourgeoisie and feeds off his love and his ideals alone, yet he ends up a rich lawyer. he's weak and miserable and lonely yet so loved and cherished that people sacrificed their lives to save him. he's a neglected orphan, yet a privileged kid. abandoned by his father, who adored him. he wanted nothing to do with his father while he was alive, yet latched onto his ghost when he was gone. he's pitiful in his misery, cruel in his happiness. he's the epitome of idealism yet he's selfish. his intentions are pure yet he inadvertedly caused great suffering and death. he has something about him that suggested day - and night. his face was illuminated by the light of the dying day and by the thought of a soul that is taking flight. not yet a ghost, no longer a man. he's truly the most character ever and u guys just don't get him like I get him
