“I thought that it was me. That I was, I was drunk or delirious, shell-shocked and broken, but it was these, these paintings! This whole time, it was the paintings!”

Pickman’s model

[tawneybel]

Imagine wondering why William has gotten into the habit of inserting priapic tentacles when drawing or painting you nude.

“Does Pickman inspire you?”

Your lover’s brush clattered on the easel’s shelf. “What do you mean?”

You repeated yourself and smiled slightly when his usually agile fingers knocked the brush onto the floor.

“Not that I’m complaining…”

William blushed as he retrieved his brush. He felt guilty over his fantasies of you coupling with figures from his classmate’s work. Really, depicting you being penetrated by slightly grotesque phalluses was quite tame compared to what he’d dreamt of you doing. The artist wasn’t quite sure whether or not to be relieved his nightmares had metamorphosed into dark fantasies.

If I had a nickel for every time Ben Barnes starred in a period drama with paintings behaving horrifically, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I know he's gonna try and take it but I wish he wouldn't

My dad just realized the outside of the building from episode 1 and 3 are the same which is either bc they only had one set to work in or because the episodes happen in a single timeline
