An episode from 'Jonathan Strange and mister Norrell', Venice drowned by the forest because of Jonathan's spell. Painted this scene a couple of years ago, but this imagery won't let me go, so here's a resin and wood interpretation.

every haunted fucking interaction the gentleman with the thistledown hair has with stephen black is just like. oh do you like this parasol, stephen? how like you, to choose something so regal. it is made of only the finest materials. the body of the shaft must be harvested from the femur of an old impoverished widow who has had seven miscarriages. crucially, it is only worth something if her husband has been trampled to death by a unicorn! oh, the rainbow pickled tripe has captured your interest? only the rarest of delicacies for dearest stephen. of course, for the tripe to attain its otherworldly and prismatic properties, it must be brined in the tears of dozens of orphans. but only if they had been orphaned as a result of several ancient war crimes, and if the tears have been passed through a sieve made from puppies who’d been abandoned on the banks of tartarus. and to drink? ah a fine vintage, stephen, how exceedingly handsome and discerning of you! that one is straight up satan’s blood, from his cock. let us retire to my haunted decrepit-ass halls so that we may have gay sex

If I’d been the one to adapt Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell into a tv format, I definitely would have made it a fake documentary. Like the current show is good, but it misses the fact that the original book, in-universe, is supposed to be written by a scholar of English magic, complete with footnotes and historical inaccuracies and sources cited. That’s like 50% of its charm! A show in that vein would be so funny and clever. Right now, my vision consists of:
Lots of shots of an academic woman in tweed or something walking through fields, museums, and old manors as she talks about the history of English magic. (this is the host. she looks like susanna clarke because that’s how I picture the narrator. non negotiable.) She would also do voiceovers describing the various plot-related hijinks Jonathan and Norrell got up to as the camera pans over, idk, their oil portraits, or artistic depictions of the scene she’s talking about. Mostly the show would feature actors recreating the Important Historical Events (i.e. scenes from the book) in costumes that look a little cheap but are clearly all they had the budget for, like those documentaries you used to watch in school when the teacher didn’t feel like teaching. They could even interview “experts” on various historical fields, like Strange’s involvement in the Napoleonic Wars, the Raven King, Faery and its inhabitants, The Learned Society of York Magicians, and so on. BBC hire me right now

A commission about JSAMN, the prompt was vague - something about the whole atmosphere, about books and ways of English magic. So here's Mr Childermass and the King's Roads on dianite. I didn't realise how much I missed this book and series.
