THERE'S A SUAVE NATURE THAT SURROUNDS the homo magi as he enters the sacred workshop. his shoulders rolled back, confidence filled every step with a charming yet genuine smile upon his lips. features that were softened with a hint of admiration when he approached the woman before him, " if i come bearing gifts - does that perhaps excuse the forgotten call? it was not on purpose, i can swear that to you. "

Good sir, I am hoping to pick your brain. I’m making an 18-century (“pirate”) shirt as a gift to my friend. He wants tie closures on the neck and cuffs instead of buttons. Might you have any insight or resources for this? I’ve seen the ties in at least one of the extant shirts I’ve viewed online. I’m still pretty new to the sewing gig and I’d like to minimize inventing metaphorical wheel as much as possible. Thanks in advance!
It's very unusual, but do know of one example! (Not that extant one though)
But first - Link to my most thorough shirt construction blog post. (It's a few years old and I've improved a few little things in my technique since then, and I mean to finish writing a new and better one before the year is over.)
Ok, ties on shirts! I'm assuming this is the extant one you're talking about? Tbh I'd discount this one entirely if you're looking for information on 18th century men's shirts because I don't think it is one.
Tumblr media
Besides the attached ties, the sleeves are extremely weird. They're cut off and have no wristbands!! This would make it quite impossible to wear under a coat, the wristbands are an absolutely essential part of an 18th century shirt. I also don't see any reason to believe this is actually 18th century when it could just as easily be 19th century, and considering how short the slit is I think that more likely.
(Lots of auction sellers like to say "late 18th century" about things that are like... yeahh maaaaybe that's plausibly from a very fashion forward guy in the late 1790's but it's much more likely early 19th century. And with court dress they sometimes just straight up date it several decades too early. Look at lots of examples and always question everything, because museums don't always date things correctly either.)
I think I remember seeing someone mention once that it was a 19th century workman's garment of some sort, but I can't remember where, and all we've got to go on are a few pictures and a brief caption from a seller who doesn't know what they're talking about. It does look like it could have been worn over another layer though, and the fabric is very coarse. It could also have been altered at a later date for theatrical costume, which is something the Victorians did to A LOT of 18th century garments.
So just ignore that shirt!
The vast majority of 18th century mens shirts close with 2 or 3 buttons on the collar, but there is a style that uses ribbons. It appears to have been fairly common in the late 17th and early 18th century, and then slowly dwindles as the century goes on. I have a section for it on my shirts pinterest board with 64 examples. Ooh, wait, 65, just found a new one.
The collar is made with little to no overlap and one buttonhole on each end, and a ribbon is threaded through them.
Tumblr media
Portrait of Carl Gustaf Tessin, 1728.
Tumblr media
Sir Charles Howard, 1738.
I actually made one of these last year!
Tumblr media
The collar doesn't sit as well with the ribbon as it does with 2 buttons, but once you put a stock over it it's fine.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nearly every single depiction of an 18th century shirt I've ever seen (and I've spent a LOT of time looking) uses sleeve links on the wristbands. (Which I have a tutorial for! They're really easy to make!) I do sleeve links on most of my everyday shirts because I like them better than sewn on buttons. When the wristband is this narrow, sewn on buttons don't sit very nicely.
Tumblr media
But! If your friend wants ties on the wrist in a historical way, I do know of one single example, and it's this guy!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Giovanni Maria delle Piane, Portrait of a nobleman. No date given, but if I had to guess I'd say 1680's or 90's. Very late 17th century looking fellow.
We can't see his collar closure, but I think it's very possible that he has a matching red ribbon holding that closed.
Personally I wouldn't want to try these, because they look like an absolute nightmare to tie by yourself one handed. But the good news is that you could make just regular wristband that take sleeve links and they'd work for this too, since both just have a buttonhole at each end! I aim for a finished wristband length that's 10-14mm longer than my wrist measurement, with the buttonhole being about 4 or 5mm in from the edge, which gives me enough ease to wear them comfortably with sleeve links, so if you do that then he'll be able to wear them both ways.

https://at.tumblr.com/enthblaze/lets-talk-about-giovanni/o2j9vlpogrjf What’s Van’s relationship with his brothers?
Van is like the forgotten family member.
It makes no difference if he's there or not.
So with that said, his relationship with his brothers varies.
Of course, he's the closest with Leo. As kids, they were always seen together and were very similar. Unfortunately that relationship frayed as the years went by, especially once Leo became leader. He felt like he was being left behind and it didn't help when Karai came into their lives. He resents Leo for sometime after that, not that he ever showed it openly or made it a problem that would affect the team. Eventually the thread between them snaps and they both feel it - though nothing is said. Leo knew Van was going to leave eventually, so he has a talk with him, a much needed one, and it mends just enough of their relationship for them to spend time together before they separate. Leo knows he failed Van in more ways he can count. Good leaders are there for their team. And yet Van fled from his side despite it all. He didn't try to make him stay - he knew he couldn't keep his twin where he didn't belong or want to be. Should he have tried anyway? Would it have made a difference? Would a simple "we need you" make Van rethink all he's ever thought about his existence and make him part of the family again? Leo wouldn't know.
Raph fights with Van almost as often as he fights with Leo. They get along most days, but if Raph's angry, there's a 50/50 split between the cause being either of the twins. But other than that, Raph has a soft spot for Van and is one of the few people he hugs more than usual. And also, Van knows a lot of things about Raph. When Van leaves and Raph goes through his room and sees all that's left (from his interest in guitar to writing his own stories to the stack of books on prehistoric animals), he realises he knew very little about his big brother. He hardly knew Van at all. Van knew his favourite colour was red and all these years, Raph thought his favourite colour was green. It's not. It's yellow. Why didn't he know that? The most simple thing? Where had he gone wrong to not know his older brother's favourite colour?
Donnie and Van might be next in line with how close they are. Van's always in the lab, after all, leaving the him with a lot of time alone with Donatello. They like to teach each other things and learn a lot from each other's interests and pursuits. Additionally, Van really makes him pay attention to the complicated parts of being a medic...because one day, even before he realised it himself, he won't be there to look after everyone anymore. Donnie connects the pieces months after Van's departure. He wonders if he should've noticed something was wrong. Should he have asked more questions about things other than medicine? Should he have tried more to know Van past his role in the team?
Mikey's relationship with Van is quite strained. No one knew why. They were never really on the same wavelength. They're the same person essentially, sharing the same humour and lightheartedness that the team needs, but they're also way too different to truly connect. It makes it hard because if things were slightly different, maybe they'd be best friends. Occasionally, they'd get together to play pranks or skateboard and Mikey thinks oh! Van's pretty cool. He wishes they had more moments like those. He can count the ones he has on one hand. And he doesn't even use all his fingers. Mikey likes Van. But Van was more closed off than Leo was, specifically towards him... Did he push Mikey away because he thought Mikey didn't like him?
Van is friendly with his brothers for the most part, but their interactions almost feel...alien. Like he's a stranger or a friend from elsewhere instead of the brother they grew up with wince they were kids. He's an essential part of the team, but it's also clear that the team won't be off-balance if he isn't there.
Of the other four, if one of them isn't present, the team has to re-situate itself to accommodate for their lost member. But if that member is Van, there's hardly a difference at all. It's a phenomenon that played part in pushing Van to leave years later.
(He knew they'd be able to look after each other and that they'd be okay without him. It made it easier to pack his things, not having to worry about his family's stability.)
Van was a mistake in earnest, and because of that, his family made mistakes around him without knowing. Mistakes that eventually made him leave.
It's hard making someone feel like they're part of the family when they always have been in their eyes.

Re: violent lance/giovanni brainworms, incredibly relatable
I still wonder about one thread I saw on twitter desciribing how when you think about those two, they can have at least two faces/goals on mind when going for interacting with each other and you can match and contrast them...
Lance can be entranced by dilfery magic, be impressed by someone much older and more experienced in league and eager to learn more from him... Or Lance can suspect, hear rumours about Giovanni and gets closer to him to check how true that is, try get info from him or around him, sneakily trying to want him slip and snatch proof whenever he can that yeah, Gio has his fingers in plenty of wrong pies.
Giovanni on the other hand can be genuinely charmed by this ambitious young man. Maybe it's also desire to get someone clearly powerful and with plenty of potential on his side. Or maybe he sees Lance as an opportunity - he is aware League could pay attention to him and it's easier to put soap in their eyes when you're close, right?
Now take any of the two, squish them together and boom, fun happens. So many fun scenarios, so little time... I don't even know which combo is more funnnn
You can chuck in Silver for extra explosive power if you wish to.

@polarean another day another moved thread
HUNGER MAKES HIS HEAD SPIN , the feeling of their bodies pressed and shifting against one another , feeling jameson's want that he holds so patiently back , offered only as a tease. perhaps giovanni has simply forgotten how it feels to be savored. he's too used to the quick and dirty , to getting on with it and getting it done———now hes ravished with touches , kisses , made to want and gasp , make barely-heard noises where he's usually quite quiet and flat. he wants jameson so badly. yearns for him , for the temporary relief from his immortal woes in exchange for feeling only another body , the bliss———he craves it.
jameson's command is simultaneously exciting and sobering; it brings him back to earth , somewhat. reminds him that while jameson's chest is bare , giovanni insisted on keeping his own shirt; unbuttoning it only enough for his neck , the rest held tightly around his chest , small previews of a million scars peeking above the hem. his sense returns to his eyes , and for a moment there is hesitance———insecurity , if one looks closely enough. ❛❛ you ... you can see hints now , with my shirt this way , yes ? of my scars ? they will be worse when it moves away. ❜❜ its a strangely different side of giovanni , amidst the stoicism and sarcasm. still leaving the shirt alone , he goes for his belt buckle , instead. ❛❛ will this be a problem ? ———you drink my blood , so it should not be , but i still prefer to offer warning. i have gotten many unsavory reactions that tend to kill the mood. ❜❜

Finally getting around to an About after everything getting super busy. I have lots of new followers outside of the usual writing crew, so it's about time you knew more about me and the muse. If we haven't interacted yet please take a look at this post.
About the mun and some rules:
I go by Allie and I use She/They pronouns. I am 28.
I don’t typically post sexually explicit stuff, however, I do prefer to RP with people who are 21+ just for my own comfort. I run a couple of multiship muses and am fine with discussion of their relationships in DMs.
Sensitive and common triggers will be tagged. I will occasionally miss some. It's totally not on purpose. Please tell me and I will add the tags.
The main lore and story arcs I'm involved in with my muse are pretty heavy so please keep that in mind.
There’s zero tolerance for any queer-phobia, ableism, racism, or sexism here, along with anything passive-aggressive toward me or other writers. You will be blocked on first offense.
I prefer to discuss and plot out threads, and typically use dice-rolling systems to determine a fair outcome in stuff like battles or skill check threads!
If you’re interested in interacting, just DM me and we can chat about our muses.
My inbox is always open.
That's some of my rules, now more about the muse under the cut.

Gender: Masculine
Attractions: Gay
Alignment: Chaotic Good, neutral leaning*
Personality Traits: "I must know the answer to every secret. No door remains unopened in my presence." / "Nothing is more important than life, and I never leave anyone in danger."

Bonds: "I use my cunning mind to solve mysteries and find justice for those who’ve been wronged."
Flaws: "I’m exceptionally cautious, planning laboriously and devising countless contingencies."

👀 (cough I know I still need to respond to our thread cough)
first sight (closed)
If there was someone to thank for Naomasa's introduction to Unova's most wanted terrorist, it would be his dear friend John. Not only because Ghetsis already had him under watch, but because John had been uncooperative enough to force Ghetsis to consider other options. And so, when John met his colleague for coffee and a bite to eat, Plasma's foot soldiers took note and a video feed was streamed directly to Ghetsis.
Perhaps this agent wasn't so high on the chain of command as John, but he was a way in regardless. That meant that he could remove John from the picture and finally pry Giovanni's hand out of the Interpol cookie jar. Of course, he couldn't just unleash the mountain of blackmail he had on John. Doing so without proper precautions could bring too much of the agency's attention on to him and ultimately make things worse rather than better.
Instead, John could continue his work unimpeded by Plasma while Ghetsis would do more research on his good friend. Such a shame their relationship would have to be destroyed. John looked so uncharacteristically happy around Noamasa. But that was the price of his insolence.

They don’t speak of the...vast majority of what happened behind closed doors, in that period where Rocket was officially disbanded. Some of them were hanging on by a thread, some were holding it together better than others. But overall, it was not an easy feat to scrape together the remnants and continue to soldier on in Giovanni’s stead.
Especially not for Ariana and Archer at the head of it all.

Chapter 15
"Good morning, Samuela Mia Giovanni, of Hous Giovanni. It is 7:30 AM. The date is Freiday, 12 of Frust 7735. The weather will be 73°, with a 30% chance of-"
Sammy awoke to the sound of digital wind chimes and the smell of citrus misting through the air. It was a part of her morning routine, her mother ordered scented misters in her room when it was being built because she believed vitamin c had a "focusing essence". Sammy didn't exactly ask for this or give her permission to have even more construction on her part of the home, but she didn't exactly ask to be born either.
She lifted herself from the bath, only slightly wrinkled due to the time she spent in the miracle water, to find that her body suddenly felt weighed hundreds of pounds. She tried to stretch her arms out into the sky and they nearly buckled under her own stiffness. She ached and groaned until she slid out like a wet oyster onto the floor. Too exhausted to stand, she blindly crawled to the closet in the corner and dried herself off which the first bit of terrycloth that collapsed onto her from the overfilled thing.
She was bombarded with the feeling of ice against her skin. This place really does get cold at night. She scooted like a worm through dirt towards the laundry hamper her maids put out during their last work day, and pulled out the same old sleeveless slip she had been wearing since middle school. She certainly should let them wash it, considering the fact that shes worn it around the house for 2 weeks straight. Nevertheless, the only one who really cares has probably gone off to yet another gala to celebrate yet another one of her empty, stolen accomplishments.
She threw on the slip and sat for a moment, slowly running her fingers along the sides of the newly damp, stained dress. The colour of the thin silk was a bright blush pink when it was tailored, but over the years had stained and darkened into a muted mauve with uneven patches of grey and mustard.
The bright blue feathers that once adorned it's hemline we're now falling out in chunks, crunchy and dry and stained like road kill. The bits of loose thread where the rhinestones used to be had become bare craters, like memories of what once was. Even the elastic barely had a grip anymore from her constant weight gain and loss with every single new diet her mother suggested.
Though today, it seemed to stay on for whatever reason.
Her throat felt like it would close when she realized how noticable it was. She knew what would happen if she kept this up, and it made her gaunt hands tremble. Her head hurt. Her stomach felt sick. She felt like she was once again falling into a spiral of lust and pain and vertigo. She would have to eat breakfast at some point.
"Good morning, Samuela Mia Giovanni, of Hous Giovanni. It is 8:25 AM. The date is Freiday, 12 of Frust 7735. Your schedule for today is-"

Vesuvius: Historical Tidbits!
So I just posted Vesuvius, my Italian Renaissance Anderperry oneshot, over on the AO3 - read it here, especially if you haven't read it before seeing this post. It was never meant to be anything more than the vaguest of historical fictions, and is exactly zero percent accurate, but a couple of the places/terms I used had some fun facts behind them, so what I couldn't or didn't want to fit into footnotes goes here!
WARNING: PRETTY MAJOR SPOILERS HERE! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, GO READ THE FIC FIRST!
First; names were gotten mainly from the Peiraeus Public Library, the Academy of Saint Gabriel, and a Reddit thread that I can't actually find now.
Also - never actually mentioned in the fic, but Neil's first name is Niccolò! It seemed fitting for his name to be lost to history; it's tragic because the whole thing is a tragedy and ends with the demise of the House of Pisani; it's logical because I can't imagine that Andrea would want his old best friend/erstwhile rival's name to remembered, especially in connection to Todd's death; it's happy because the best thing I could do for Neil was to let him fade quietly out of history and never have to deal with anything like that again for the rest of his life. But I couldn't resist giving him a name that means "people's victor" lol. Dramatic irony ftw
Sidenote: I only chose Tommaso because it sounds like Todd and I was trying to stick pretty close to their canon names, but it does mean "twin", so... whoops! Uh oh! What a thing to name the guy who spends most of his childhood and early adulthood alone and searching for a family! Sorry man!
"Il triumvirato" - probably very obvious, but Italian for "triumvirate".
Speaking of the painting - did you catch the broken cup corresponding to the cup on the de' Rossi coat of arms? Looks like someone's been hungry for power for a couple of years, Andrea! (In my mind he has the portrait commissioned at the height of the "golden years", when he's drunk on power and Todd and Neil have not yet abandoned his cause.)
Last note on the paintings is on the clothing; the cloak is a mantello, the undershirt a camicia, the doublet a farsetto and the tabard a giornea, and the hose calze. I didn't do much (any) research on the colours/materials, so that will likely be anachronistic. Andrea's outfit looks a little like this:
Tumblr media
Neil's like this (on the right):
Tumblr media
And Todd is in cardinal's robes! More on that in one or two bullet points.
I only mention One Thousand and One Nights in the footnotes but actually all of the stories our narrator mentions are anachronistic - Maestro Lattantio and Costatino Fortunato (an early version of Puss in Boots!) were both first published in The Facetious Nights of Straparola by Giovanni Francesco Straparola, circa. 1550-1553
Actually, quick note to confirm the dates; Todd first becomes a cardinal in 1479, and the conversation witnessed by our narrator happens around 1484.
Todd IS quite young to become a cardinal (think mid to late-20s), but that makes more sense in the full AU ;)
As said in the footnotes, the Palazzo is based on the Palazzo Reale/del Broletto Vecchio. Check it out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Yeah, narrator, go ahead. Try hiding in THIS one.)
Cardinals have red robes! And of course once I realised this the blood comparisons were endless and overwhelming. Like, come on:
Tumblr media
WHAT a red. Thank you, Jeremy Irons in The Borgias.
And this is a galero, the red hat of the cardinals:
Tumblr media
Wide brim for obscuring the face while telling secrets.
The Pazzis briefly alluded to are the Pazzis of the Pazzi conspiracy, which has been taking up just absolute miles of my brain space since I started reading about it. Like holy shit. What was going on there
Cardinals are valuable to have at the time; mostly covered in the text, but they're ways to have your family's fingers in all the political pies. (Popes are of course better, but cardinals more attainable.) But then again, now your son owes his first alliance to Rome. Uh oh!
The Castel Sant'Angelo is this huge imposing museum in Rome that has been by turns a fortress, mausoleum, and a prison:
Tumblr media
The Bible verse is from Luke 2:9 - the birth of Jesus. Fun fact; the image of Todd as a soft-spoken, mild young cardinal, believed to be harmless and gentle by everyone around him, absolutely glowing with a kind of divine rage was the thing that first kickstarted this oneshot!
The Duomo di Milano:
Tumblr media
Hell of a place to die in the arms of your lover (+ in front of the man who's always loved you, but loved power more). (Sidenote: in the full AU (which lives only in my mind) I have SO MANY SO MANY thoughts about Andrea/Todd/Neil as a triumvirate and SO MANY SO MANY thoughts about how they interact and what turns all of their stories into tragedies. So if anybody wants to ask me about them.........)
Feast day of St. Matthias: May 14th. St. Matthias replaced Judas as the twelfth apostle (there's a certain betrayal echoed here between the triumvirate that makes me go crazyinsane) and is the patron saint of carpenters, tailors, smallpox sufferers, and in prayers for perseverance and hope.
The crypt of the Duomo di Milano, where Todd is buried:
Tumblr media
And... that's it! I think! Thanks for reading!
-
Edit 25/10/23 - just a minor thing that doesn't really impact the fic at all, but I do think that Todd's death also plays a part in the complete destroyal of the de' Rossis - not because of Andrea's wrath but because of the Pope's. Like, he's not an important cardinal or even a very well-respected one, but he is still a prince of the Church! And killing him would definitely provoke some papal blowback. Just been reading about the Cardial di San Giorgio after the Pazzis, and the Pope sending messengers to get him, and when that was denied essentially declaring war on Lorenzo de' Medici (although of course that wasn't all on the Cardinal's account). Like you know. Family is family. (He was TWENTY-SEVEN when it all went down, what the fuck!)

wagging in plot for whoever u want!!!
You asked for this
SILVER
awkwardness about silver realizing that ree and Giovanni are close. Even more bafflement when ree admits that they know he’s Giovanni’s kid but they figured he would bring it up in due time.
I want them to actually battle. Like, really battle. No holds barreled.
Ree cooks him something… maybe silver is feeling down and ree makes him some comfort food
GUZMA
more plots with Guzma and ree trying to figure out this whole father-child relationship they have now
uhhhh… bonding over scars? Ree admitting that seeing Guzma’s scars all the time made them feel a little more confident about their own.
finally addressing the guilt they both hold about the Jax incident. Bottling it up won’t do any good!!! Talk to each other !!! It’s been a year !!!
AKARI
LET THEM MEET LET YHEM BE FRIENDS I THINK THEYD GET ALONG
ree showing akari all the little guys they have… perhaps they can trade pokemon. Get ree a little hisuian guy.
cooking adventures together let them make something crime worthy.
PEEJ
something more serious … ree and Peej are pretty laid back and most of their threads are very low key…
ngl I wanna know how Peej reacted to the Jax thing. I want ree to apologize to him about putting themself in danger and making him sad/upset but justifying it cause nobody else got hurt
more pre-sun moon shenanigans !!!! Let the babies wreck havoc !!!
BURNET
I desperately crave burnet and ree interactions
ree getting stickers from her. Ree confiding in her about stuff they can’t talk about to anyone else. Ree admitting that they feel awkward working with Kukui when they know Guzma hates his guts.
REE PLAYING WITH THE BABY BUT TRYING TI ACT COY ABOUT IT!!!
SIRIO
we need to finally do that damn interview thread
sirio is the secret boss and I think it would be really fun for ree to slowly realize he’s stronger then he looks
genz kid vs millennial who will win
SPARK
more with spark being a good big bro/leader. Ree accidentally joining team instinct is hilarious.
ree taking him around Alola and showing him everything !!!
idk. I think they should do the battle tree together
RIKU
idk I just want them to interact more!!! I think it would be silly!!!!
ree just keeps trying to bite riku and he’s totally unaffected
idk if we could do something serious but we could definitely address Ree’s rocket trauma

Love your LGBTQ+ Kids: Black LGBTQ+ Icons
Since Feb 14 is Valentine’s Day, this month we’re looking at ways to #LoveYourLGBTKids! February is also Black History Month. One of the best ways you can support your LGBT kids is to become educated on LGBT history. In this thread, we want to highlight a handful of Black LGBT icons throughout history.
Possibly the most well known icon is Marsha P. Johnson. Johnson was an American activist between the 1960s and 1990s, being one the most influential and prominent members in the Stonewall Riot Uprising in 1969. Her and her close confidant Sylvia Rivera started Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), making a name in New York City for trans representation.

Stormé DeLarverie is another LGBT icon who would also influence Stonewall. Born in New Orleans, DeLarverie would be later identified as the butch lesbian whose scuttle with police would ignite the Stonewall Riots to happen. She is remembered as an LGBT icon and entertainer.

Known for his writing as activism and healing, James Baldwin remains one the greatest American authors of the last century. His publications “Notes of a Native Son” and Giovanni’s Room remain staples in the LGBT literature canon. Baldwin connected Blackness and queerness in beautifully written prose and served as a literary activist.
Tumblr media
In a similar vein, Audre Lorde, another American author and activist, wrote about this intersection as well. She is known for her books Sister Outsider and Zami as well as poetry. Lorde self-described as “Black, lesbian, feminist, mother, poet, [and] warrior.” Her works are mostly circulated within feminist, womanist, and critical race studies spheres.

Although only four Black queer icons are listed here, there are so many both known and unknown. Whether they be actresses like Laverne Cox or MJ Rodriquez or politicians like Ritchie Torres, Black queer folks have always been here. Black history does not end when February does..

The rum diary

Robinson also wrote the screenplay, his first since 1999's In Dreams and only his seventh since he was Oscar-nominated for his debut adaptation, The Killing Fields. The former actor, probably best known for playing Benvolio in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo and Juliet, sat in the director's chair here for the first time since 1992's Jennifer Eight. The lack of recognition marks the film as somewhat of an inauspicious return for Bruce Robinson.
The rum diary movie#
The movie has won just a single award acknowledged by IMDb: Amber Heard being recognized with one of seven Spotlight Awards by the obscure Hollywood Film Festival. The performance couldn't have been entirely unexpected, since though shot in 2009 and bearing a 2010 copyright date, Rum sat waiting for a choice release window, with fledgling FilmDistrict finally deciding on a reasonable late-October debut close enough to awards season to be remembered but far away enough not to look like Oscar bait.Īnd no one will accuse The Rum Diary of being Oscar bait, because it just wasn't received strongly enough to even warrant being called a snub by the various awards parties. You'd have to go back to 1999's costly dud The Astronaut's Wife to find a comparable flop. This was Depp's weakest showing in a wide release since Pirates of the Caribbean cemented him as an A-list movie star. That would explain why the movie was a complete non-starter at the box office, its pitiful $24 million worldwide gross just barely recouping half of the production budget. It feels like a movie older folks might enjoy, if they gave it a chance, and one that might bore younger people expecting Depp's now signature mania or a Fear and Loathing sequel. The Rum Diary is strange, but considerably less so than Thompson's previous narrative film adaptation. In addition to the aforementioned, Richard Jenkins plays the Star's toupeed editor-in-chief and Giovanni Ribisi is Moberg, an insane, not exactly employed alcoholic and unreliable roommate who gets some kicks out of listening to records of Hitler speeches. There are times when Thompson/Duke's voice becomes so very clear, such as when Kemp is ragging on Nixon or vowing to stand up to "the bastards." Undoubtedly, Depp's encounters with the author shape his performance.ĭepp gets a decent amount of support here. And yet, this is still largely a film that feels under the influence of something. We get almost none of the trippy imagery of Terry Gilliam and only "brief drug use" factors into the MPAA's R rating description. Kemp feels like a toned-down version of the embellished, rarely lucid Duke. The film is as interested in atmosphere as story and allows us plenty of opportunity to soak up the sunny scenery and effervescent flavor of Puerto Rico, where it indeed was shot. Instead of following through on just one central thread, The Rum Diary gives us a little bit of everything: Kemp's romantic desires, labor setbacks at the Star, and his mixed feelings on and obligations to Sanderson's racket.
The rum diary series#
Far more tickled by Sanderson's beautiful beach bunny fiancée Chenault (Amber Heard) than his plans to commercialize a small uninhabited island with a series of hotels, Kemp nonetheless gets dragged into the development and made to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Fortunately for them, their bond is paid by Hal Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart), a wealthy, influential American who is looking for Kemp to do business with him. Intoxication leaves Kemp and Sala in serious trouble with the law and looking at a jail sentence. With drug experimentation not yet in vogue, Kemp gets high on alcohol, especially the local favorite, rum. Gonzo, nicely played by Michael Rispoli). Kemp finds adventure elsewhere, moving in with the husky and sympathetic photographer Bob Sala (this film's Dr. Like the motorcycle race in Fear, the astrology column is beneath our antihero and of little interest to both him and us. Aspiring New York novelist Paul Kemp (Depp) arrives in San Juan, Puerto Rico a day late to work as a horoscope writer for The San Juan Star, a modest newspaper whose future seems uncertain to its staff. Depp, who developed a well-documented friendship with Thompson before the latter's 2005 death, treats Rum nearly like another roman à clef, the result of an unmistakably autobiographical protagonist. Thompson, written in the early 1960s and finally published in 1998. The Rum Diary offers perhaps the closest we'll ever get to Depp reprising Duke, because this film adapts a long-lost novel by Fear and Loathing author Hunter S. In the pantheon of iconic Johnny Depp film characters, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' Raoul Duke ranks somewhere near Captain Jack Sparrow and Depp's many distinctive personalities for director Tim Burton.
