Thinking about Amis meetings by candlelight and how unfamiliar I am with a light source coming from that direction.

High quality and detail shot below the cut!

... someone please tell me about option four because while I may have figured out Bahorel's advice (on the first read at age 16 no less) I seem to have MISSED SOMETHING WHAT

ok now I'm curious

because tags on that other post is why

In 1832 republican revolutionnaries wore the beard for group recognition but Enjolras probably wouldn’t have been able to grow one. R therefore had beard enough for two.

this must’ve been done before

Art by Secretmellowblog/RetellingtheHobbit

Good afternoon! For this fundraiser I’m offering a custom illustration of any characters from Les Mis or Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit.  You can find my art at @secretmellowart or at my webcomic adaptation of The Hobbit at @retellingthehobbit.

Retelling The Hobbit art style sample

Retelling The Hobbit stained glass sample

Fantine character design sample

Valjean and Cosette Sample

You can request a drawing in my regular art style, my stained-glass art style, a mix of the two, or my cat art style. At the starting bid, I will draw up to two characters with a blank or simple geometric background. I’m also okay with ship art! (Bagginshield,  Enjolras/Grantaire, Frodo/Sam, Valjean/Javert, etc).

Because this is an auction for charity, the level of complexity in the final illustration will depend on both the bid and on my amount of personal investment in the prompt! I will also only draw something the recipient is comfortable with me sharing publicly online. Bidding begins at $25.

Will draw: ship art, furry art, “stained glass” style art

Will not draw: nsfw/fetish stuff, pro-police stuff, heavy gore….or hot Javert. If you want me to draw Javert I will make him an ugly cube and I will not compromise my principles on this for any amount of money, I’m sorry. I can draw Javert as a furry tho.

You asked for our favourite ExR AUs, and my Pirate AU project has been taking over my brain for over a month, so.....

New Year, New Art.

[laughingmistress]

no context but this is where i’ve been at this week

[laughingmistress]

Happy Orestes Fasting Pylades Drunk Day to all Les Mis Letterers who celebrate! :D :D :D

Anyway, if you, too, wish to try the horrible stout-absinthe-eau de vie mixture that helped knock Grantaire out right until the gunfire stopped, some intrepid soul (not me) put together a recipe:

12 oz stout

2 oz eau de vie

1 oz absinthe

Pour cold stout into a chilled glass

Pour eau de vie (I used brandy when I made this, though the exact definition of "eau de vie" is up for debate) and absinthe into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into glass over stout.

I've tried this before, and it's not quite as bad as it sounds, though you'll need a relatively high tolerance for bitter flavors and, given the amount of alcohol in it, I would not recommend having more than one unless you want to almost sleep through the entire barricades and wake up with a nasty hangover.
