‼️ GUEST SPOTLIGHT ‼️
The next guest helping us with this trial is the amazing @lambergeier! Catie's writing never fails to pull our heartstrings and make us laugh, making her the perfect person to help argue our case!
You can find sunsmasher on Twitter!
hi door this spectacular piece of something was included in the latest email digest from a local consignment place. what on earth is this for and also how close can you get to figuring out where/when/who made it thank you in advance
hi catie thank you so much for sending me this honker of a hall stand! i have had a very fun time learning all about the stylistic revivals of latter 19th century france.
you see this type of furniture called many things: coat rack, hall stand, and portmanteau are most common. it is a very 19th century thing. you most commonly see them with hooks facing outward, and frequently with a ledge or seat built in. here are a couple of contemporary examples:
i've never seen one with the hooks, or in this case pegs, on columns like that, but the mirror is a dead giveaway in terms of function.
i tracked this piece down online so i could get closer look at the elements, and the seller has it listed as from "northern europe," which i would love to know the reason for because it is textbook Louis XIII revival. the spiral elements (also called "barley twists" i have learned), the cartouche around the profiles facing the mirror, the scalloped shells and drapery below--it all screams 17th century France.
i looked at a couple of 19th century primary sources reporting on furniture at the time and didn't see anything like this (which doesn't mean anything, i was just curious) and then at a LOT of auction listings. nothing i saw gave me any reason to think this was made anywhere other than France in the mid/late 19th Century. no clue who made it though, sorry!
yes man. you get it.
how do we know sylvain *isn't* aware of various replays of 3h but is keeping it close to the chest for aforementioned reasons. it could already be canon!!!! maybe on THIS loop he'll get the preindustrial equivalent of road head and noone will probe his insecurities, he thinks to himself
Damen’s grip on his arm is painful. His face in Laurent’s is ashy and sheened with sweat.
He says, “There was something in my drink.”
(Damen is poisoned, Jokaste is framed, Laurent must find them an heir. He's put it off for so long already.)

@taxonomist commissioned me to paint damen and laurent from catie’s big, beautiful post-canon fic! for true love!! please read it, it’s very good and there are horses
norway, catie, i love both of you very much, and i hope you enjoy these paintings
[image 1: a watercolour painting of Damen, dressed in his usual chiton. he’s bleeding from a wound in his palm, which is also sending dark veins up his arm and across his chest. the blood looks blackened at the edges, as though tainted. image 2: a watercolour painting of Laurent, in his shirtsleeves and breeches. he’s grasping a letter dripping the same dark, tainted blood as damen, and there’s a golden, unfinished genealogy tree behind him.]
lambergeier replied to your post: i was just thinking "miles edgeworth" for that...

Burr was like “I’ll cut out the middleman and fake HIS death.” Still not sure why it didn’t work

lambergeier replied to your post “fahrenheit is intuitive, because it’s like a percent of hot! like for...”
omg phee. I'm not about to defend Fahrenheit, it's based on nonsense, but I gotta say that "37c is an average summer day" is not the MOST universal experience. 37 for me is, in fact, ultra dying
yes, i apologise for not specifying “in australia”!! i exaggerated also since i think average temps are closer to 32ºc (90ºf) in syd, and obviously if you’re further away from the equator, anything over a 25ºc (77ºf) might as well be the inside of satan’s armpit.
i just meant that there are many places on earth where it gets EVEN HOTTER than that in summer, on a pretty regular basis, and that’s JUST THE WEATHER. like, it’s just not that hot.
i was just thinking "miles edgeworth" for that post too
