era aesthetics *!

BOLD all that apply!

MEDIEVAL. tired eyes. coffee stains on the table. listening to the bustle of the city. unmade beds. loose ponytails. sunlight seeping through the curtains. chapped lips. walking barefoot across the floorboards. dusty dictionaries. black and white reruns. huge sweaters. the ticking of the clock. hearing birds in the morning. fireplaces. falling asleep during class.

RENAISSANCE. freckles. the sun rising. watching the sea. taking shots of the city. historical museums. bright eyes. looking up at the clouds. walls covered in artworks. drawing in the middle of lessons. tracing your fingers on the sand. painting for hours. staying in uncrowded coffee-shops. worn paperbacks. messy braids. going to bed with your socks on.

BAROQUE. dark hair. a little sophisticated. always observing the world around you. intricate designs. high ceilings. extravagant musical pieces. dim lights. colourless photographs. fancy furniture. pale skin. hearing soft footfalls coming from outside the room. mischievous looks. bitten nails. candlelight dinners. dark shades of lipstick.

CLASSICAL. chandeliers. the clinking of a teacup. laced clothing. modern architecture. light hair. watching the view from the terrace. hidden birthmarks. drinking tea in the morning. wandering about in an empty building. botanical gardens. old films. ancient marble sculptures. expensive perfume. breakfasts in bed. reading about mythology.

ROMANTIC. compassion. short writings on scraps of paper. blushed cheeks. a bouquet of roses. reading collections of poetry late at night. loose hair. carpeted floors. attending operas. faint music playing in the background. staying under the covers until midday. the night sky. streetlights. picking flowers. dancing around in silk dresses. scented candles.

[sorry]

a peaceful walk in the woods really relaxes me. the fact that I’m dragging a body should be irrelevant.

how  easy  it  was  ,  to  be  looped  into   her   darkness .  he’d  allowed  it   to   engulf   him  whole  ,  as  he   was  sure   she   had   done   with  his .  rodolphus  swallowed  every  wicked  word   that  burned  through   the  air   between  them  if   only   to   allow   an  alluring  smirk  to  tug  at  the  corners  of   his   tightly   pressed   lips .  this  night  had  always  been  there’s  to  take  ,  the  pair  of  them  had   made   sure   of   it .   for  ,  with  war  came   those  who  were  conquered  and  those  who  did  the  conquering  .   he’d  always   envisioned  them  to  be  that  of  the  latter . 

his  gaze  meets  hers  ,  where   others   oft   saw   a   cold   rage  ,  he’d   only   ever   seen  a  heated   ambition .  to   them  ,  the   world   seemed   attainable  ,  and  he’d  do  anything  to  make   their   nightmare   a   reality .   tonight   would   merely   serve   as  a  reminder   of   what   they   were   capable  of  ,   of  what  others  should  fear  .

they’d  been   involved   in   a  dance  of  their  own  ,  casting  gazes   across  the  room  as  if   they’d   shared  a  secret   that   little   to   no   one   else   had   been  made   aware .  that  thought  alone   had   been   enough   to   rile   the   deviance  within  rodolphus .  his  words  come  out   as   if   an   uncharacteristic   purr   in   her   ear  . ‘ bellatrix  ,  love ––  you   know   i    adore   it   when   you  speak  such   truths.  ‘    if   they   were  meant  to   put   on  a  show  ,  it   might   as   well   be   believable   at   best  . for  ,  they’d   played  with  tragedy  ,  grief   stricken  and  shocked  bystanders  .  now ,  however  ,  it   was   time  to  mask  their   true   selves  if  only   to   watch   the   chaos   unfold  from   their  very  palms . 

‘  i   have   high   expectations   about   the   evening ,  surely   they   won’t   disappoint  me .  although –– ‘  he’d  paused ,   a  glint  of  mischief  in  his   gaze  as   he   spoke  his  next  words  wisely. ‘ i  do  wonder   who   will   walk   away  with  a   life   changing   prize .  such  a  beautiful   evening   for   such  a   cause  ,  don’t   you   think  ?  ‘ 

Some may call them heartless but that was only half true. After all, even monsters have hearts. When they are together, they can be so much more terrifying than the silly little monsters that haunt people’s nightmares. They illuminate the fear in every room they walk into almost as though that’s what fuels them, that's what they are made of. It’s so easy to fall deep into the other’s shadow. So few understand the bond that they have, so few see the monsters that lay under their skins and live. The lucky ones who do, well, they just aren’t the same anymore and that’s how she likes it.

If people can call them heartless than how does it explain the flutter inside of her at the idea of such havoc? The thrill when their eyes met that are filled with knowledge that only the two of them share? Clearly heartless is not a word to describe her. Perhaps if others were on the same level as her, they would know better but all those less than her never did matter.

It seems so long since they last spoke though Bellatrix always knew where to cast her gaze if she wished to see him. The pair were never too far away from each other, especially with what is to happen later this night. A smirk grew on her face at how pleased he sounded. The show they were putting on was probably one of their best performance, though it was only going to get better from here. “ Of course I do, why else would I utter such a thing? ” There was a light tease in her voice though the darker meaning behind the words weren’t lost.

“ Absolutely gorgeous, ” a light chuckle escaped her lips before the next words that came out of her mouth. “ The only thing that could make this night even more special is perhaps a nice bonfire! I think if the Zabini’s had a nice fire going that would be quite a special treat. ”

rodolphuslestrvnge‌:

if   they   had   been   anywhere   else  ,  rodolphus   would   surely   not   be   able   to  contain  himself .   a   blood   lust   that   ached   in   the   presence   of   the   woman   whom   most   thought   brought   out   the   best  ––– all   the   while  ,  bringing   out   the   most   horrid .  the  anticipation   for   chaos   itched  beneath   the   surface   of   his   skin  , a   coy   reminder  of  how   safe   the   guests   must   have   been   feeling  .  menacing   as   it   was  a   mirage  .   ‘ well ,  i   am   enjoying   it   all  the   more   now .  ‘  

tongue  presses   against   the   roof   of   his   mouth   as   his   hand   squeezes   hers   quickly   in   a   moment  of   affirmation .   long   gone   were   the   whispers   of   an   unholy   matrimony   between   the   pair   of   them  ,  what   replaced   them   were   frightened   eyes   and   hollow   words   of    congratulations  .  to   him   ,  bellatrix   embodied   fear  and  malice  ,  a   wicked   woman   capable   of   anything .   he  ,  himself  ,  much   the   same  .    

‘  it   would   be   quite   a   shame   ,   such   a   philanthropic   cause   shouldn’t   be   squandered   by   the   wishes   of   foolish   men .  ‘ 

perhaps   those   who   knew   not   the   darkness   that   lay   within  his  heart   would’ve   believed   his   words  .  however ,   rodolphus   was   sure   bellatrix   knew   him   more   than  he’d   even  known  himself .  ‘  although  ,   perhaps  i’ve   jinked   it.  ‘   malevolence   seeped  through  his   skin  ,  any   inkling   of   innocence   evaporating  as   he   leaned   in  towards   her  .   satisfaction  wearing   well   on   his  features . 

Is she wrong to wish that they were in a more private setting? They can’t get anything done with so many eyes on them all of the time. Bellatrix is vastly aware of the Aurors that aren’t at all hidden from one’s view. But they can easily get around such obstacles. After all, when they are together even mountains will bow down else they will ensure that they do. Bella looked up at Rodolphus with eyes that some many call adoring but very few would see the mischievous twinkle hidden underneath with care.

“ Don’t make me blush now love, after all, we are in public. ”  

They were always a good match, her parents did well in securing this reunion between the two of them. There was no one better for her, no one that could match the chaos that yearns to escape from under her skin. Perhaps once she didn’t believe he could handle her, he could be any match to her but she was proven wrong many times over. Now, Bellatrix can hardly think of anyone better at her side.

“ Oh I’m sure you haven’t jinxed the night. I’m quite sure that tonight will be everything that everyone has dreamed it would end up to be, and so much more. ” Her hand ran up his arm and looped around his neck, the appearance to any outsides of just a loving couple. No one sees the darkness that constantly surrounds them, constantly getting bigger the more they are in each other’s presence.

Only fifteen minutes left before the winners were announced. And then the fun will soon begin. The gala has been anything except interesting but after showing the best of patience, time was slowing coming to the end of such a long wait. Bellatrix cannot wait for things to finally get going and there was only one person that she wanted to be next to during this time.

Bellatrix grabbed another of the champagnes off of the trays for the fools walking around. She flashed a smile towards the Aurors in the back, showcasing her best innocence as she possibly can before she found herself at the side of her husband.

She brought her hand and placed it around his own before standing on her toes to whisper in her husband’s ear, “ Hello dear. How are you enjoying the gala this evening? I hope nothing dreadful happens as it nears the end. ” Subtle as always. Okay, she can do better but no one was near them, no one was listening, especially with her so close to his ear. She pulled away with a grin on her face as though she shared a private joke.

[ofbelltrix]

gilderoyal‌:

A pang of envy surfaces in his gut at the woman’s harsh take. Nobody was more aware of Rita Skeeter’s talents than Gilderoy, but the blow to his ego was not a trade he’d come prepared to make. Smoothing the fine silk of his golden robes, he plasters on a grin in the face of adversity — he’d be damned if he let a critic, albeit one as upheld and well-regarded as the eldest Black sister, tarnish such a special night. “A comfort to know the remarkable Bellatrix Lestrange is a witch of both vast beauty and infinite taste. Rita is a dear friend of mine and her premiere volume, much like my own, is bound to be a best-seller.”

It is an uphill battle to will baby blues, trained on the polished marble of the Zabini estate, to meet her almighty stare. He wouldn’t be entirely surprised if he turned to stone the moment their gazes met. “In my most humbled opinion, whoever earns the privilege of sampling her work is a very lucky lamb! Now, if you’ll excuse me…” Placing a hand on her shoulder as means of goodbye was likely a careless mistake, but he’s too focused on slipping into the nearest powder room for a pep talk to consider the consequences.

The smirk that she had plastered on her face quickly disappeared when his words reached her ears. He was far more than just annoying. How her dear Rita could ever tolerate such a man for a conversation longer than a few seconds, Bellatrix may never know. Merlin, already she wants to strangle him and they have barely spoke. She put on a fake smile as though she cares so dearly. “ Yes of course Rita is a friend of yours. She’s quite kind to those less talented than her but I’m sure that you know that. I’m sure that her book will be no match to yours. By that I mean, she’ll be far superior than your own. ” In case the fool tried to take it the other way.

If they weren’t in the middle of the Zabini’s estate, perhaps Bellatrix would not be exchanging words with Lockhart. Usually she wouldn’t be caught dead around the other if Rita wasn’t nearby. She was about to respond, tell him to have a good night and hope for the best, really she hopes that he falls victim next, but he placed his arm on her shoulder and that was not good. Bellatrix immediately swatted it off her and the glare became more predominate. “ Careful Lockhart. You don’t want to make another mistake like that. Now why you don’t you be excused and go back to your silly fanclub before something horrendous happens to your hair. ”

Barty was in much better spirits this time around than he usually was at one of these things. Still, he had stepped out for a moment and for once, the air was warm and pleasant rather than chilly. There were a few people milling around but the grounds were vast enough to accommodate them. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips as he looked up at the clear sky, his eyes easily tracing the constellations. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, blowing out the smoke before speaking, “Bid on anything?”

The time was drawing near but still she had to wait. Waiting was always the worst part when it came to these kinds of messes. At least the outcome will always be something she’ll remember. Bellatrix made her way around the gala though nothing was keeping her entertained. There has to be something around here she could do other than walk around and pretend to be amused by anyone here. At least she finally got caught sight of someone she can stand. “ Of course. When I saw that my dear Rita put a few chapters of her new novel I had to place my name on there. Everything else, well, it’s hardly like I couldn’t buy it myself without this pathetic competition. ” Sure, the money is suppose to be going to the families of all those affected by recent attacks, attacks that she had a hand in, so why would Bellatrix contribute to such a thing? “ What about you Bartemius? ”

date: july 14th, 1979 time: 5:49 PM location: zabini estate status: open

delicate fingers circle back and forth on her champagne glass, a disinterested gaze gracing emerald eyes. she had never expected a gala to be such a bore – especially not one she is supposed to write a gossip column about. rita is so desperate she is considering causing a drama – if anyone can do it, it is rita skeeter. the blonde looks down at her golden gown making its way to the floor, eyes focusing on her sandals – eyes sparkling with a bright idea. at the first sign of incoming, rita sticks her foot out slowly. within a few seconds, the disaster has taken place. her victim has fallen on the floor and dropped champagne on everyone nearby – including one of the vases on auction that night. clearing her throat, rita makes her best concerned face as she leans forward to help the other. “oh merlin, are you alright?”

 This night has been everything but exciting however she knows that this will change quite soon but until then it was up to her to entertain herself, though there are few people at this gala that she would deem entertaining. At least she can always count on one particular person. Rita Skeeter can always bring a smile to her face, especially after the little trip that she was so lucky to witness. Bella brought a hand to cover up any laughter that may escape out of it before she quickly made her way to stand besides her favorite writer, her best friend. “ Oh honey, what an absolute mess. Perhaps you should take leave to the loo and wash yourself off. Wouldn’t want anyone here to think any less of you if they see that absolute mess you have yourself here. ” She tried to sound concerning but really, Bella couldn’t stop the smile spreading across her lips. Finally some entertainment.
