[Paris] Monday [November 14, 1904] Sir I arrived last night and already would like to flee from all this telephoning, all this gossip, all these people pleased with themselves, all this smoke and nothingness. All of it contracts the Universe and the soul. We are not made to live with people we haven't wholeheartedly chosen. I isolate myself and engage with you while the fools [...]

I need these SO HARD. I used to put a double cape on my black knight Lego minifig when I was a kid - black with red beneath - because I was OBSESSED with Navarre's cape/entire look.

Big Ladyhawke news this week:

2 key costumes are included in a Propstore auction beginning 14 November 2024, in London. Both come from the archives of Italian costume company Costumi d'Arte. The company have also contributed costumes from the Taylor/Burton Cleopatra and The Good, the Bad & the Ugly to the same auction, as well as some from First Knight which are also by Ladyhawke costume designer Nanà Cecchi.

The Navarre costume comprises a helmet, a hood, a doublet, a tunic, a cape and a pair of trousers. The helmet has a metal visor which is fixed in position by a screw. It is made of fibreglass, with a wooden lining, on which "63" is handwritten in black marker pen. Attached to the wood is a faux leather inner lining that is adjustable by string.The doublet, tunic, cape, hood and trousers are all made of cotton. The doublet is sleeveless with stylish leather armhole rims, a mandarin collar and faux leather fastening straps with metal buckles. The tunic is fastened by a vertical Velcro strip and a cross lace. Boots are not included in the lot. Estimate: £5,000 - £10,000

The Isabeau costume is from the final showdown scene - the lilac-coloured dress comprises an outer layer of chiffon and an inner layer of satin, and has slightly ribbed sleeves. A Peruzzi costume label is stitched into its interior. Estimate: £5,000 - £10,000

"Honestly, these days I'm mostly an e-reader, and if I want a book I buy it. I only get nice hardcovers of books I really like. Plus, it seems like to find anything I'd have to dig and search, which I don't care enough to do anymore. I'm mostly going to this bookstore for the vibes. My budget is safe because I doubt I'll even buy anything." - me, full of hubris, about to enter John King Used & Rare Books

The name of this creature is YOTAcat or POTOOcat.

This creature is a combination of Yotaka (potoo) and cat.

His true identity is one of an alien reconnaissance unit that plans to invade the earth.

His body can change its shape at will by copying other creatures and objects.

When he came to Earth, he first tried to copy the appearance of the planet's main life form.

However, the first thing he saw there was a cat. He decided that the creature was the main life form and tried to copy the cat's form.

However, by some accident, he also copied the information of Potoo, and his body became a chimera of cat and Potoo.

What was even more unexpected for these aliens was that once they copied the earth creatures, the original spirit invaded their psyche.

His spirit was about to be taken over by cats and POTOO!

The human who found the strange creature brought it home out of curiosity. Not knowing it was a vicious alien.......

tolkien fans are insufferable because you’ll agree to watch the movies with them and then seven hours in they’ll say “omg my favourite character is about to appear!” and it’s a fucking siege weapon
