Imagine the mayor himself showing up on an exhausting day just to make a whole drama over nettles…what a day, huh.

As a fan of fighting games I was excited for it but all it did was humble me cuz I have no idea how to play it…

Like how am I supposed to win if he keeps throwing a WHOLE BARRICADE at me?????!!!!!!

Okay that’s funny but I actually finished the game! It’s too short.

I tried several characters and the only one that actually felt playable to me was this character called JUDGEMENT, who isn’t even in the book…Love the plot twist.

Bonus:

The effort put into the characters design and animation in general deserves more love, they’re the best part!

POV: You’re a 19th century Italian child reading Pinocchio.

My nightmare in every edition is Hugo’s face everywhere…HE IS WATCHING ME.

Every children’s edition of Les Misérables I have so far!

The best one without a doubt is the Lit For Little Hands, it’s the most children's book for Les Mis that I really feel kids will love and enjoy it.

The least one despite how much I love it, is the Gérard Dubois edition. The colors are dark and the art style kind of gives off haunted dolls vibes…so yeah idk.

I realized now they're all either in English or French. I don't have an Italian one…I don't even remember ever seeing an Italian edition of Les Mis for children before? Huh that'll be my next homework I guess.

Anyway, I love seeing creativity in children's books for classic works in a fun and enjoyable way as possible! I have always believed that making children’s books is a difficult job and requires a person full of creativity. the effort really shows in the beautiful illustrations, fun ideas, and how well they turn long books into short, engaging ones. I truly appreciate all of this.

The cover of this 1949 french children edition is so pleasing to me!

Give it to him? NOT GIVE IT TO HIM. but Give it to him? NOT GIVE IT TO HIM. but Give it to him? NOT GIVE IT TO HIM.

Illustrated by Émile Bayard (1862) — Illustrated by Carlo Chiostri (1930)

I love how it’s obvious that Carlo Chiostri took inspiration from Émile Bayard’s illustration for Les Amis and yet he went “Naaah this isn’t the Greek-statue-looking Enjolras that Hugo talks about” and gave everyone hair.

They're so proud about it that they put it in the musical theatre book? I'm done with this crap.

“Andreane Neofitou's original designs for Cosette.”

Wow I loved the one with Cosette holding the bucket, The dark around her eyes and the way she positioned her body were on point!

Bishop Myriel is SO extra in this comic and I’m here for it.

I LOVE when the illustrators give her the dramatic hair she deserves.

“Andreane Neofitou's evocative original design for Eponine.”

Interesting how this design seems to combine her regular outfit with the outfit she gets later In the book, since she doesn't actually own a hat and shoes until later when she swaps clothes with that person.

I came across this illustration from this Italian edition by chance and gasped for a moment when the illustration included the boy who was helping the Conventionist! Idk but seeing him there made me so happy.

Andreane Neofitou's original costume designs for the wedding of Marius and Cosette.

I didn't notice how wonderful the details were in the design of Cosette's dress because I had never seen the picture before in good quality online, but wow, it's amazing!!
