Reader, writer, artist, is probably currently procrastinating on homework by doing one of those things.
They/them, not a minor.
Not dead, just on hiatus, will be back.
What’s this? A Barricade Day work by Far that contains absolutely no barricades, no fighting scenes or muskets, no people dying…. in fact, not a single person in sight? Well, I decided to be saintly merciful good this year. I mean, there’s no way I could possibly give anybody case of The Sads if I don’t draw anybody, much less anyone dying a horrible, painful death, right??? >:D
[In case anybody’s wondering what’s stuffed between the pages of Enjolras’ book, it’s from this old drawing, which itself is an illustration of this gem of a fic by Marguerite ;) ]
[If you’re also wondering if there’s any self-referencing from any of my previous Les Mis pictures…. look, this is Far, what do you think? ROFL ROFL ROFL.]
@pilferingapples may or may not be to blame responsible for some of this content (as surely she will have realised by now!). As are any and all of you who responded to my vague post about taxidermied animals. ;) For this I thank you.
Available as colouring pages for anyone masochistic enough to fill them in. Happy Barricade Day, y’all. ;)
I'm about to throw stones but when people my age say "I don't like these Gen Z teenage tone indicators. How am I supposed to MEMORIZE all these new abbreviations? '/nm'? '/lh'? I hate it." it sounds utterly indistinguishable from our parents being like "I don't get this text speak. 'omg'? 'lol'? SAY what you mean! Don't abbreviate!"

Celebrimbor: it's not the same -

Finduilas: let her in, she brought snacks.
Celebrían, whispering: Elrond is a great grandchild through Maglor, do you think that counts?
Gil-Galad, also whispering: just because you want to bring your husband into this doesn't mean -]
the tengwar placard on the table reads "Finwë's great grandchildren trauma party"
Great grandchildren of finwë roundup, aka: taken and tortured by sauron, killed by sauron, totally fine actually, taken and tortured by morgoth, taken by orcs, also taken and tortured by orcs
Ok I fully support himbo Celeborn and I 100% think the reason Galadriel thinks he is Wise is because he agrees with literally everything she says. Which clearly makes him the only person with any sense, as far as she is concerned.
YES YES YES YES YES YOU ARE CORRECT YOU GET IT YOU SPEAK NOTHING BUT TRUTH !!!!!!

in almost every other children's book where the main heroine is swept away to a land of whimsy she's shown having a lovely time; braving dangers occasionally, trying to find her way home, sure, but ultimately delighting in the magic around her. meanwhile alice spends her entire time in wonderland like
