"I am all in a bother and miserable without you here. Have I told you this? I must have. Do you think you might come down this week? There is sure to be enough time. Just bring all your work. Of course, you may spend all your time in your study here if you wish it! I shall simply sit there in the corner, by the Kentia between the back wall and the large bookcase, and watch you at work ..."
A little while ago I wrote a short fiction set in a late-nineteenth/early-twentieth century AU, called Shadow Theatre. Basically Seiji and Nicholas are rival scholars in occult studies. Shadow Theatre tells their story.
The wonderful @johannathemad has produced this amazing image of the two in Nicholas's study at Fairhaven House. Mind-blowing. Thank you so much Jo for working with all my wild ideas x 💝💪 So fortunate to have had the chance to commission you!
ok but i find it interesting how shadow's appearance was partially inspired by kabuki theatre
like ooo that makes sense. that makes a lot of sense actually
funny thing is it kinda fits perfectly with shadow's first va using a slight mid-atlantic accent. i thought the accent was a nod to him being from the 50s when it was still in use, but the fact it was almost exclusively utilized in theatrical and cinematic settings kinda makes me wonder if it was an intentional reference to the theatrical aspect of shadow's design as well? his dramatic demeanor sickens me
literally not the point of any of it at all and not even in the top 10 reasons to hate him but James Somerton's videos are so badly lit like babe get a flashlight or something christ
"Just as [Tamara de Lempicka] tries to capture a moment, I’ve felt like I have been trying to capture her. I feel like I’m just now catching up to her, in a sense: her ambition, her complexities. Did I do a good job in years past? Sure, but I feel like today it is a mirror to my life and how I want to expand and take up space and not apologize and feel worthy of this moment."
