Continuation of the comic based on The Truth We Owe the Dead 

did anyone actually trust my happy wips and thought i was done?

For Despard who, when I asked if I could draw her something (for her invaluable help with the Les Amis poster!), requested, "Enjolras fighting…or Courfeyrac…swords or canes or anything else :)". So er, Enjolras *and* Despard's russet-curled Courfeyrac (because mine could never have achieved that pose without popping half his buttons off), having a go at Canne de Combat. It's actually based on what seems to be a standard move, although all the shots were taken from the side, and I wanted a more dramatic low-angle shot that showed E mid-jump... of course this means that all you get to see of C is his back... sorry. Oh, and it's anybody's guess why the hell they're doing this in some deserted hall, late at night. Make up your own story. ;)

[C ain't surrendering his waistcoat under *any* circumstance. Hey, at least the top hat came off.]

Programme for the Harold Lowe tribute concert held on November 18, 2012. I feel rather guilty for saying this, but I'm rather terribly chuffed about what's on the cover! (It's this btw).

Thank you, Despard for posting this. :D

First off, a giant thank you to Despard and thehighestpie/hernaniste

I know it's "just the internet", but having someone else's words of consolation/empathy when you're upset is one of the best balms for sadness that there is, so thank you both.

You guys really helped me get through last Tuesday (and then Wednesday), and for that, thank you so, so much.

Wednesday was, as expected, a day of tears - but it was also a day of laughter, because the person I was talking about brings smiles with her wherever she goes.  There was a lot of celebrating and talking about the past, and, after she left and we'd cried it out, my siblings and I, for the first time since we heard she was moving away, feel like we've actually achieved some closure/can move forward with happiness and fond thoughts.  So there's that.

(And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming of Abigail Tumblr. ;D)
