The insurgents, we will remark, were full of hope. The manner in which they had repulsed the attack of the preceding night had caused them to almost disdain in advance the attack at dawn. They waited for it with a smile. They had no more doubt as to their success than as to their cause. Moreover, succor was, evidently, on the way to them. They reckoned on it. With that facility of triumphant prophecy which is one of the sources of strength in the French combatant, they divided the day which was at hand into three distinct phases. At six o’clock in the morning a regiment “which had been labored with,” would turn; at noon, the insurrection of all Paris; at sunset, revolution.

They heard the alarm bell of Saint-Merry, which had not been silent for an instant since the night before; a proof that the other barricade, the great one, Jeanne’s, still held out.

All these hopes were exchanged between the different groups in a sort of gay and formidable whisper which resembled the warlike hum of a hive of bees.

Enjolras reappeared. He returned from his sombre eagle flight into outer darkness. He listened for a moment to all this joy with folded arms, and one hand on his mouth. Then, fresh and rosy in the growing whiteness of the dawn, he said:

“The whole army of Paris is to strike. A third of the army is bearing down upon the barricades in which you now are. There is the National Guard in addition. I have picked out the shakos of the fifth of the line, and the standard-bearers of the sixth legion. In one hour you will be attacked. As for the populace, it was seething yesterday, to-day it is not stirring. There is nothing to expect; nothing to hope for. Neither from a faubourg nor from a regiment. You are abandoned.”

Okay, so I came in indignant that Bossuet was ranked so low

(3.4.1, Hapgood translation)

but then I continued reading and

(3.4.1, Hapgood translation)

Yeah, okay, I can accept that.

A combined total of 36 hours in Krita and a lot of references later...Fel, Queen of Demons in her world. Oh my god this was a lot. If you're curious, much of this was drawn on my stream twitch.tv/lucyn_corwin where I work on art twice a week.

Allow me to introduce you to FMA's translation:

"Napoleon had been denounced in the realms of the infinite and his downfall had been decided. He was an inconvenience to God."

-I constantly think about this Les Mis quote. brutal.

if taylor was a wrestler they would call her bricc weaver... but you won't hear about this in the mainstream media. they want to keep the thicc weaver/sticc weaver false dichotomy. you need to wake up.

[omoriboii]

"alrigh, but what kind tho. We talkin big, smol, buff, twink?"

I'm not the Anon who asked, but since Hero is a doctor, instead of 'thicc', 'sticc', or 'bricc', he should be 'stitch' like Frankenstein's monster.

yeah why tf not. Combining this with the multiple twink requests.

Samus Aran can't be fat because she has to fit into the Zero Suit!

Presumably she would make or find one that fits her. She ain't dumb, and her suit was made for her, not the other way around. Makes more sense in my head for Samus to be Bricc more than Thicc though.

I had planned for Valvert week to coincide with when javert chases valjean to the convent in les mis letters right

and I read the chapter today and thought "man, we're moving fast. But Valvert Week is set for april. what could possibly happen from here till then that will take up all of march?"

and then. Well.

-okay so apparently thenardier fought in waterloo and saved marius’s dad’s life. and robbed him. go figure.

-*,`jean valjean has been recaptured`,*

-spoiler alert he escapes

-okay but how he escapes is like... so classically jean valjean. he’s on a boat and some guy falls over the edge so he pulls the guy back onto the boat before jumping into the water and swimming away... like... chaotic good energy 100%

-meanwhile, cosette is living with the thenardiers. eponine and azelma exist. gavroche exists but he’s a baby. the thenardiers are not good parents. they are even worse parents to cosette. they make her do a lot of work.

-aw poor cosette

-there’s a moment of purity where eponine and azelma are dressing their cat up in tiny outfits and cuddling with it <3

-cosette has to go fetch water for some guy’s horse. she does not want to because she is scared of the dark.

-she sees a really nice doll and is sad because she cannot have it.

-jean valjean approaches her. in the woods. late at night. he just sees her and assumes she’s cosette, even though there are probably several dozen children her age in the town.

-’what’s your name. how old are you. where do you live.’ wow valjean... you totally sound like a philanthropist and not a kidnapper right now

-thenardiers scam valjean. cosette is sad because eponine has a doll and she doesn’t.

-valjean buys cosette the doll she wanted earlier.

-valjean spends the night in the inn and gives cosette a gold coin because it’s christmas eve. why did he not give azelma and eponine anything? I don’t know. why did he not give gavroche anything? because he’s like, one. he does not know what christmas is yet.

-cosette beheads flies in her free time. this kid is metal.

-valjean pretty much buys cosette off of thenardier but then thenardier changes his mind.

-valjean gives him money though so everything’s fine

-cosette gets a new papa :)

-ep, zelma, and gav are still stuck with thenardier, who treats them sort of decently because they have money. but still thenardier is a bad parent who feeds my son cat liver excuse me how dare you

-that’s all for now. more to come.

Oh, it's better than that:

It was he, in fact. The clerk’s lamp illumined his countenance. He held his hat in his hand; there was no disorder in his clothing; his coat was carefully buttoned; he was very pale, and he trembled slightly; his hair, which had still been gray on his arrival in Arras, was now entirely white: it had turned white during the hour he had sat there. (1.7.11, Hapgood)

It turned white in less than an hour.

As a fandom, we don't talk enough about how Victor Hugo thinks people's hair goes white. Everyone just accepts that his hair is canonically white and never talks about how it actually happens in the brick. Like he goes out and says that Valjean's hair just turned white overnight from the stress? Like the hair on his head simply lost its colour. Just like that. Poof. I'm picturing it just like, drying up? Did he genuinely believe that's what happened

[the-butter-churner]

Would you rather memorise the Waterloo part of the brick word for word or sleep on a pile of Lego.

.....anon why do you want to torture me

[annabrolena]

In English we don’t say ‘permets-tu’ we say ‘alright with you?/do you permit it?/ if you don’t mind’ which roughly translates to ‘oh I am 100% gay for you’ and I think that’s beautiful.
