longing for transformation

Mona. A Renaissance soul trapped in the dispassionate present. Hopeless romantic and hopeful linguist. Dabbles in fencing and fashion, reads and writes whenever possible. Dreams constantly.

A King may move a man, a father may claim a son, but remember that even when those who move you be Kings, or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, “But I was told by others to do thus.” Or that, “Virtue was not convenient at the time.” This will not suffice. Remember that.

Actually it’s Танец с драконами not Танца, which would be better transliterated as “Tanyets s drakonami”

I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don’t already exist out there.

The #FIDMMuseum in L.A. had a great exhibit featuring designs from period & contemporary TV shows on last summer. They displayed costumes from some of the greatest shows during ~peak tv~ and gave insight into the costume designers vision. Being so close to outfits faves have worn is seriously mind blowing - check out the FIDM’s website for current exhibits or jut stop by the gift shop for dope AF souvenirs!
