Ok here’s the truth: IF WHEN YOU WATCHED/READ LES MISERABLES YOU DIDN’T SUPPORT THE MILITARY COMING TO KILL THE REVOLUTIONARIES, BUT YOU CURRENTLY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL GUARD COMING TO ATTACK PROTESTORS IN AMERICA, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE. END. OF. STORY.
Far would like to wish you all a miserable Barricade Day 2022. ;)
I had a bunch of half-baked ideas for this year, but then @pilferingapples went and reblogged this post by @swutol-sang-scopes that translated one of the songs from the Argot chapter (thank you!) – and then of course this was what my brain latched on to and insisted it would make excellent text for a comic.
[Pilferingapples, I hold you responsible. Yet again!]
Regarding the last panel: if it seems suspiciously familiar, it’s because I’ve always wanted to redraw the last panel from my Orestes Fasting, Pylades Drunk comic from Way Back When… just with even more drama than it already had. I just really like this perspective ok, and it seemed like a fitting end to this comic.
I am not sorry about the context of “meat” in Page 3. (Actually, I’m cheerfully unrepentant about any of this. I don’t know how you could possibly expect differently). Also, because I know that at least one person is going to comment on this (you know who you are): Iknow I said this comic wasn’t about Bahorel, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to die in it either.BECAUSE. – Is anyone still even keeping score of Bahorel vs Combeferre? ;)
[I will also take any and every opportunity to give as many of Feuilly’s Six cameo appearances in my comics as I can manage.]
“Should we continue to look upwards? Is the light we can see in the sky one of those which will presently be extinguished? The ideal is terrifying to behold, lost as it is in the depths, small, isolated, a pin-point, brilliant but threatened on all sides by the dark forces that surround it: nevertheless, no more in danger than a star in the jaws of the clouds.”

He is a white man with shoulder-length blonde hair, wearing a white shirt, a reddish vest, brown pants, and a tricolor sash. He is holding up a tricolor cockade as five white doves fly around him, shedding a few feathers. End ID.]
Fandom:Les Misérables (TV 2018) Rating:Explicit Relationships: Javert/Jean Valjean, Rivette & Jean Valjean Series: Part 2 of the The Coin of His Shameseries Summary: When Rivette is captured as a spy at the barricade, Javert attempts to rescue him—and ends up wounded himself. Now Valjean has to deal not only with Rivette, who is surprised to find a stranger living with Javert, but also with the fact that Javert is singularly unsuited to the proscribed bed rest, which wakes old insecurities and conflicts.
(full picture in the fic)
A 20k sequel to The Coin of His Shame for Barricade Day, illustrated by the amazing @magicfishhookart, featuring Valjean not dealing well with his emotions when Javert is injured, Javert not dealing well with bed rest, and Rivette being incredibly clueless.
