Just a Blue guy sharing stuff

He/him, German,  Local Bisexual disaster Transmasc, also I draw shit....mostly related to my current obsessions ENJOY! Elf/Faeclub Lawyer

[blue124th]

I decided to now officially open my comissions. If you’re interested just go ahead and send me a DM or if you’re not in a hurry you can send an email to ‘[email protected]’ (Once again if you’re not in a hurry I probably won’t check this email as frequently as my DMs)

A few more example drawings and details under the cut

[blue124th]

so…someone might’ve convinced me to watch something and then got me to draw this…legally I have to say I am not getting held hostage to draw this and am doing this out of my free will.

Jokes aside watched a thing and Yeehaw Cowboy AU Akers popped into my mind so here we go. More yapping about that and picture without the blood below cut

so yeah this happened cause I watched that one series where Alex Breaux plays in a western setting a *checks notes* Henchman to an older manipulative character and he has to chase a girl…and commit multiple war crimes on the way….if I had a nickel and so on. And Akers in a Western AU just seemed like a fun idea cause frankly I think he a) looks good and b)would have a swell time (probably not knowing his luck but you know)

I may have also spend a copious amount of time on researching what the hell Akers would be in a Western AU and if I could write I would write something, unfortunately I cannot.

also @bunvert is the someone btw…she wanted to get mentioned..I dunno I am being held at gunpoint/j

Chrm Chrm I know I haven’t posted in a while but SOMEONE got me to combine two of my passions (pathetic men and musical songs that feature mental breakdowns) The audio is from “Dust and Ashes” (the Great Comet of 1812) it’s genuinely a good song. Anyways enjoy the emotional damage

extended yapping bellow for anyone interested

I’ve been trying out editing videos for a bit now and due to certain people’s enthusiasm Akers has mostly been the victim of that. A friend suggested to try to edit him to said song and Uhm…I think it turned out good. I’m still figuring out how to do text and text animations but I think it turned out fine. Talking about the song I know it doesn’t 100% fit Akers but the first half up to the part I edited feels like something that could be going through his head in the few seconds he’s more or less frozen place and forced to watch his gun get closer and closer….I shall stop my angsty yapping for now before I get killed by @bunvert Also for anyone interested from all the scenes I’ve compiled for this edit Akers has a total of 20-22 minutes of screen time…which idk it felt like more? But nope unfortunately he isn’t on screen that often…and a lot of the time he’s ‘just’ the background or running around so not exactly in focus

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!

[headspace-hotel]

This is horrible I can't see the number of notes on my posts at all without adding up everything in the chain

Cursed cursed cursed evil evil evil

[jv]

This is a terrible idea. Horrible.

EXTREMELY BAD HOLY FUCK.

This would kill the entire point of the reblog chain. Staff, please, don't do this. It will transform the reblog chain in just plain twitter quotes.

[jv]

Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.

Please, stop this. Please, don't roll this out.

[jv]

Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don't know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don't roll it out.

[jv]

look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that's ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.

But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the "... yes and" website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.

Please, don't do this. Please, don't ship this.

Didn’t originally plan to post this one but I’m genuinely really proud of the shading in this one especially the face

close up bellow

I think this is the first time I actually managed to get his facial features done correctly. I was tbh just trying out shit with the facial details and it worked I think? Also idfk what’s going on with the pattern on Brenners tie so I just improvised…it works somewhat so here we go!

[shavantasia]

[blue124th]

so uhm…bit of context I quite often draw my favourite characters as tiny versions, cause it’s fun and helps me break down their outfits to the bare minimum needed. So yeah Mini Akers! And mini Brenner cause the play is more or less the actual reason I got into ST and also same actor (on Bway)

seperate minis + extended yappings bellow

as mentioned above TFS was my first exposure to ST more or less. Basically due to an actor I really like joining the play in the West end I watched ‘clips’ of the play that really intrigued me cause frankly the technology involved is absolutely insane and the performances all around are so good!! I really hope Netflix someday releases a Proshot of the play cause it’s not really readily available for anyone outside of the US or UK, but from what I’ve seen it’s just really good.

Okay general yapping about the Play aside. Here are the mini versions of the two you guys can idk put in your pocket..preferably separate pockets cause my gut tells me Brenner and Akers would not get along AT ALL..not gonna stop you though. Was really fun to draw them both like this, my friend said I should draw Akers without his scars so he gets to ‘just’ be tired. Brenner is plotting meanwhile.

[blue124th]

‘sketch sheet’ drawing no. 2 done…in a day (I have no explanation for this other than it’s the weekend and I was bored)…probably the most difficult one cause of whatever I was thinking deciding I could do the scenes actual lighting… it did work out though so. can we tell this might be my favourite scene lighting (and acting) wise? (Seriously I love how Akers goes through ALL the emotions in line 5 seconds it’s so fun to watch!)

(references and extended yap under the cut)

References:

This one has multiple references because of said “Akers going through all the emotions in 5 seconds” but specifically for the lighting I used the third one…cause fancy red n blue lighting, which just looks really nice. Tbh I think the reason why this is my favourite scene ft. Akers is simpky cause Breaux can just really show off his acting skills (imo). And also who doesn’t like their favourite character going through it for a few minutes. Also really interesting scene if you think about how big of an impact it has on Akers. Like I’m pretty sure having someone rummaging around your mind isn’t a nice experience, but his reaction definitely seems more extreme if you factor in that he should’ve known that this was something that could happen when hunting a ‘Freak’. Kinda curious if there’s a bigger explanation as to why his reaction is LIKE THAT. Though unfortunately I doubt there is…so HC IT IS! (I personally think that while we only really see Memories concerning the lab, he has a lot more memories (maybe even simultaneously) flooding his mind cause El is searching his entire mind for information, which is probably a) overwhelming maybe even painful and b) kinda awful if we factor in that Akers probably has quite a few traumatising memories so being forced to relive those would explain why he seems so distressed(?) during that scene and why he seems to hold such a grudge against El after this)

[blue124th]

putting this here cause I’m working on my ‘sketch sheet’ for this lil guy (I am aware he’s 6’4 but he somehow is still just a lil guy)

reference and a bit of an explanation about what I mean with sketch sheet under the cut cause this very much isn’t a sketch anymore and I don’t want to make too long of a post for those that aren’t interested.

Reference:

So basically what I mean with sketch sheet is a drawing sheet where I redraw specific scenes or expressions or perspectives for a character or an actor so I can figure out how their face works. For Akers/Alex Breaux for example I have 4 different portrait esk drawings on that sheet(for now), which I can work on at my own pace whenever I feel like drawing the guy. Most of the time I don’t finish the drawings which is why I call it a ‘sketch sheet’. Fortunately or Unfortunately Akers has a GRIP on me and one just happened to be the finished cause I really wanted to figure out his scars/wounds. I might put the other drawings on the sheet on here once they’re done…if they’re done..but it sure looks like I can’t escape the appeal of drawing this wet rag of a man that quickly.

[blue124th]

so uhm….I guess the way to get me into stranger things (somewhat) Is to give me one sobbing wet rag of a man….I love him he’s so stupid and silly and he has a half scarred face AND kinda kills himself…I fear I have a very questionable type when it comes to fictional characters

IF I SEE ONE MORE PERSON COMPARE TR*MP TO JAVERT I AM GOING TO SCREAM

GUYS. PLEASE. TURN ON YOUR MEDIA LITERACY BRAINS FOR A SECOND AND STOP CLAIMING THAT A CHARACTER WHO'S WHOLE THING IS THE LAW AND JUSTICE HAS ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH A CONVICTED FELON.

I feel like with the whole stupid Tr*mp Les Mis situation everyone's immediate first reaction is to compare him to the perceived villain of the show and they don't stop to think about the comparison that they are actually making and the reality of Javert and his character.

Now, is Javert the main antagonist of the musical and the book? Yes, of course. Can he be unnecessarily cruel, prejudiced and does his actions in the narrative leave lasting, negative consequences on the other character's lives? Undoubtably!

But to compare him to the orange man????

GUYS!!!

Please, can't we just think about this for a moment? Everything that Javert does is born out of a skewed sense of justice and a flawed commitment to a system that hates him. Born into poverty, he spends his days desperately climbing the ladder of law enforcement, trying to be seen as better than the class he came from. This is likely the source of his hatred for JVJ, because he sees himself in him and is constantly trying to prove that not only is he better than JVJ, but he is better than everyone he represents - the common man, the ones society let slip through the cracks.

And yes, I do know that in the book, Javert is a metaphor for the brutality of the law at the time. But let's not forget that the police, however cruel they are, are ultimately just a tool to be used by whoever is in power, a weapon to wield against citizens living under oppression.

Do we associate Javert with this oppression? Yes, and that's intentional. But Victor Hugo also makes it abundantly clear that Javert is being oppressed as well. It is the very system that he serves that destroys him in the end, he recognises he has caused great injustice himself and it eats him alive. He physically cannot continue to live with his newfound guilt, he throws himself into the Seine because he cannot stand the thought of being not better than the forgotten members of society, but actively worse.

This brings us to Tr*mp (I'll make this quick I swear):

This man is NOTHING like Javert. He has no sense of justice, no loyalty to a flawed system that he genuinely believes is good and worth fighting for. Tr*mp works instead to further destroy the already broken system we have and actively makes everything worse for the common man. He is fully aware of what he is doing, there is no moral code to his actions at all. Tr*mp isn't serving a higher power because he believes that he is the highest power there is.

(He also is NOT a christian, do not listen to his lies the man hasn't read a page of the bible in his life! He uses that as a way to brainwash his cult into thinking he's their new messiah smh)

Trumps obvious awareness of his lack of morals puts him closer to Thenardier than Javert. Thenardier is a wicked and cruel character who is actually aware that he is in the wrong, that his actions are evil. But even this new comparison is inhernetly flawed because Thenardier was born in poverty, just like Javert. That fact alone should make them both incomparable to the overgrown nepo baby some of you have the misfortune of calling your president.

So yes, sorry for the rant BUT PLEASE STOP THESE COMPARISONS I AM BEGGING!!! Read the book or re-listen to the soundtrack instead, simply reminding ourselves of why the barricade boys fought for the revolution in the first place is a greater form of protest than snide jokes on X about how Trump's favourite character would be Javert.

If Trump did feel any connection to Javert, it would not be because he can relate to him at all or because they have anything whatsoever in common - but because Trump loves those who believe in the system. He loves the idealistic followers like Javert who truly believe that the government has their best interests in mind, because those people are the easiest to manipulate and eventually blame when things fall apart.

TLDR - Leave my boy alone or I am personally breaking into your house to whack you over the head with the brick.

[minty-didoodle]

I did say I was going to maybe try making this trend work for Javert as well (ti ti ti ti, it was on tiktok maybe a month ago)

His life does not receive the light this trend on tiktok uses, (It usually goes from really dark to really bright from left to right) but for him I decided to just keep everything dark, the brightest point being him being a successful inspector, because in his mind that would probably be the highest point he could ever achieve.

From left to right, we have: kid Javert, young guard Javert, Inspector Javert, derailed Javert and Javert in the Seine

[blue124th]

happy(?) barricade day!! Everyone...well second barricade day where everyone dies but still. I know I'm a bit early with Javert soliloquying himself but still. Really wanted to draw the Elf cop again and Stewart's soliloquy is just absolutely amazing

[requiemforpsyche2]

no one on instagram gaf about this drawing so I'm posting it hereee

[minty-didoodle]

Yeah, when he went "it was my right to die as well" I really felt that.

The Mayor and the Inspector (may 2025), A3, micron 0.5 pen

This is largly based on a scene from the 2012 movie, were Javert comes and introduces himself to the mayor. I don't know if other adaptations have that, but ai don't remember it from the live musical.

Once again I decided to use a felt tip pen and I disliked using it, the result is okay.

With this, that is all of my Drawing class Les Mis illustrations, I do however have some Javert pieces from print making class, will share those at some point.

Thank you all for the support and kind words, I'm fairly new to tumblr and thanks to all of you I'm having a great time (literally can't remember when the last time was that I enjoyed social media this much) 🫰🩵✨️

[minty-didoodle]

Confrontation (jan 2025), A3, black Stabilo pen

I really wanted to do a giant fight scene for the confrontation but then I remembered it would take me an entire semester to finish it, so I just drew Javert walking into the hospital while Valjean tried to negotiate.

I hated drawing with this pen, I realised I prefer a runnier ball point pens, the felt (?) tip ones always look like they're drying up if the gestures are too quick (which is how I like to draw, I have no patience lol)
