Hear me out: Thomas Gainsborough and Gustav Moreau give off the same vibes despite working a century part and having fairly different themes (portrait artist vs mythic illustration), and are therefore a storyboard dream team for some kind of story where the protagonist steps from mundane Georgian England into some sort of fairy realm.

When you just want to get shitfaced with the other students at Oxbridge but first you have to pass your final exams answer the Sphinx’s riddles.

It’s the same guy in both right?

Gainsborough on the left, Moreau on the right, but for the purposes of this incredibly loose plot it’s the same character before and after he falls through a wardrobe in Bodleian Library and loses his clothes, this being a ‘lost chronicles of Narnia featuring Bertie Wooster as a student’ kind of situation.

It was during my second exam week — the first round of the end of year ones — in my foray into reading magic at Cambridge, and I only wanted to get through it all without meeting the Chief Horror Hunter or at the very least having to explain to my family that I had been sent down for a semester, when I discovered the door in the Bodleian library.

Alright. Discovered is a wrong word, even if I had wanted to get away — and yes, alright, I might have misspoken when I said that I wanted to get through it rather than out of it by any means possible. I am not lying, though. The heart of a sensitive young man is not always entirely known, even to himself, and for a gentlemen such as myself, whose many flaws include perhaps include being in the greater part somewhat more devoid of valour than is, strictly speaking, entirely the pattern of a man of education and breeding, I did need to have some stern words with myself about actually turning up for exams despite the churning of my belly. But I was not trying to run away — and if I had, I would have tried harder to find somewhere that wasn’t…well, there.

*porky pig voice* THAT’S ALL, FOLKS!

This idiot needs a name before I send him off to be hunted by the sphinx/chief horror hunter/his family etc for the high crime of being a magician in training who is loose with terminology and thus always on the brink of actually bringing some new horror into the world because he wants to be clever about subverting meanings of words.

#a world in which the highest enemy of magicians is lawyers #the term ‘ordinary meaning’ has probably sparked a legit civil war #England known as being unusually prone to magical mishap because the language itself is more prone to mutating without malicious assistance #and there’s always malicious assistance waiting in the wings #our young hero isn’t a bad boy but he does make bad choices #‘make’ is a strong word. lazily finds himself leaning towards is better

I just saw a post that deeply annoyed me because it went, "Here's a story that's like a Regency romance, but I FIXED it by making the characters sexually liberated and shame-free and polyamorous!"

This is like saying, "Here's a story that's like a thriller, but I FIXED it by having the serial killer go to therapy instead of trapping victims in his evil maze and dismembering them."

.

The thing a lot of people don't seem to get is that the entire appeal of a Regency romance is watching a deeply repressed, perfectly controlled, buttoned up, straight-laced person who has never expressed an emotion before fall so hard for someone that something in them just breaks and they come completely unhinged.

It's a very specific kink that this genre is tapping into.

People who think the characters in a Regency novel are boring are missing the whole point. The characters are supposed to be boring, right up until they fall so madly in love that it drives them insane, at which point they become very interesting. Regency romance novelists are doing the writing equivalent of putting plain white featureless uncooked whole eggs in a microwave and waiting for them to explode.

There are many myths that shroud England, but one very few know is that no more than twenty-one (21) years shall pass without a remake of Pride and Prejudice, lest the kingdom should fall.

interesting how, in the realm of fiction, there are some morally reprehensible behaviors that are "acceptable" for someone's character to have, and some that wait a minute post canceled. My cat who doesn't like cuddles just settled directly into my lap for the first time in the 10 years I've known her

This is all that matters now

She did it again. Discourse is cancelled forever

Got my hands on a copy of One Wyverley Summer (it’s alright) and Sabriel explicitly has her own, personal, internal source of Free Magic, like all natural necromancers, and unlike the steppe necromancers in Goldenhand (whom I seem to recall like…sewed bits of Free Magic creatures into their subcutaneous flesh?), which means that my theory about the great bloodlines being magical hybrids and Nick being not a new thing but merely an example of what the early generations of those hybrids were like is canonically supported.
