Chapter Text
The ABC "Justice Club"
For the first time in years, he finds himself sketching real people again. Suddenly his algebra notebook is half filled with scribbled portraits: Musichetta arguing with Bahorel, mid-hand gesture. Jehan’s look of concentration as he drafts a petition. Courfeyrac stretched out with one arm around Jehan’s shoulders and his feet in Marius’s lap. Enjolras and Combeferre, heads bowed together, conspiring. Cosette lugging a giant stack of books about alternative energy. Enjolras scowling at the mention of corporate personhood. Joly’s patented “everyone get ready, I’m about to make an awful joke” smile. Enjolras brandishing a pencil as he talks about voter registration.
Joly’s based on this:
He and Joly have never spoken directly to each other, but. Joly laughs at Grantaire’s jokes sometimes and he’s fun to draw. He walks with a cane a lot of the time, but when he’s sitting he holds it like a baton or uses it to poke Bossuet. He’s so ticklish, Musichetta can reduce him to helpless laughter by wiggling her fingers from the other side of the room. It’s incredible.
Grantaire is in the room but he’s in neither of these pictures because it’s kind of from his point of view, you know? And because he’s sort of separating himself from the others. Whatever.
I had no idea what Mrs. Hucheloup teaches. Somehow I ended up choosing biology. It seemed appropriate somehow?
Grantaire's Room
I actually don't have a quote for this. Sadly enough. Nothing just seemed to fit. So instead just feel free to play spot the reference. You get points whenever you find something that was mentioned in the story.
My designs for Éponine's clothes, with colour variants. Based on the author's description:
courfeyrac describes eponine as looking goth, but this is because she wears dark eye makeup and courfeyrac does not pick up on the subtleties of teen subcultures. she has more of an alternative-y, slightly rocker chick, slightly post-apocalyptic tinkerbell vibe. that is a terrible description but fortunately i am not a costumer. she makes her own dresses and then wears them with an army jacket and sneakers or boots. basically she likes pretty things but won’t totally commit to it? i think her hair is probably not its original color, but that whatever color it is, the roots are kind of showing.
Here is where I got the detailed descriptions in general.
Is this an okay number of pictures for one "chapter"? Should it be less? Should it be more?
