The absolutely beautiful artwork of Stephanie Hans in 'The Wicked and The Divine 1831'. Writing by Kieron Gillen.

Featuring Lord Byron as Lucifer, Percy Shelley as the Morrigan, Mary Shelley as Woden, Claire Claremont as Inanna, John Keates as Hades, Edgar Allen Poe as Thoth, Samuel Coleridge as Morpheus and The Brontes as the Fates.

"But, since life at most a jest is,

As philosophers allow,

Still to laugh by far the best is,

Then laugh on — as I do now.

Laugh at all things,

Great and small things,

Sick or well, at sea or shore;

While we're quaffing,

Let's have laughing —

Who the devil cares for more?"

— Lord Byron, from Lines to Mr. Hodgson Written on Board the Lisbon Packet.

the chaotic energy of mary shelley's life and the brillince of frankenstein are so palpable that i sometimes forget how insanely marked her life was with tragedy.

mary shelley's half-sister, fanny, commited suicide. percy's first wife committed suicide. then john polidori (lake geneva homie) committed suicide. all in her lifetime.

she never got to know her mother since mary wollstonecraft died just after childbirth. two of her own children died in infancy when was barely out of childhood herself. and percy died very young, in a kinda stupid way too.

mary was massively resilient. like yeah, i hate historical revisionism where it's implied she hated all of the men in her life or her own existence as a woman yadda yadda, but damn. she categorically went through the wringer.

I'll be revisiting Newstead Abbey in a couple of weeks, one of my favourite historic houses here in England. So I thought I'd enjoy the early evening sun and do a little homage doodle for it's one time master and one of my favorite historical disasters.
