(GLINDA HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED AND ELPHABA IS ON A PHONECALL WITH THE KIDNAPPER, NEGOTIATING A RANSOM )

KIDNAPPER: The price has gone up. Twenty five million.

ELPHABA: Yeah, that’s not how a negotiation works.

KIDNAPPER: Like you said, we’re not negotiating.

ELPHABA: I have no reason to believe you even have my roommate.

KIDNAPPER: Oh, you wanted proof? Why didn’t you say so?

KIDNAPPER: *approaches Glinda with a knife*

GLINDA: NO! NO!

ELPHABA: *hears Glinda’s screams over the phone*

ELPHABA: You touch one hair on her head… and you get nothing-

KIDNAPPER: I wouldn’t waste your breath on idle threats, or you may not even recognise your roommate by the time you get her back. You have less than four hours.

KIDNAPPER: *cuts the call*

ELPHABA: *throws her phone down in frustration*

GLINDA: *sobs*

GLINDA: How am I supposed to live like this? GLINDA: *lifts up her head* GLINDA: BANGS?! My stylist books four months out. Five for extensions!

KIDNAPPER: You’re lucky. Hair grows back.

GLINDA: Not by summer…… YOU SHOULD’VE SHOT ME!

KIDNAPPER: Keep talking, and I’ll turn it into a mullet.

GLINDA: *gasps in horror*

the CW's Dynasty (2017-2022) Carrington Manor in Minecraft!

One of my favorite comfort shows—Dynasty—features the beautiful Carrington Manor as a key piece of the billionaire family's legacy.

After rewatching for the 3rd (maybe 4th?) time, I decided to recreate the manor in Minecraft.

Those familiar with the show should recognize some of the rooms posted below. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend watching it on Netflix.

Using Mizuno's Texture Pack (with some custom edits) and Complementary Shaders.

Fallon and Crystal/Celia - Story idea

what if fallon wasn't as mean as people thought but guarded instead, Crystal/Celia finds her crying one day in her room and asks her what wrong,

fallon is guarded but she breaks down her walls eventually and fallon tells Celia she is gay,

Blake is a homophobe and a bad husband and celia doesn't like him either, Celia tells fallon that its ok to be gay,

Over time they develop feelings and eventually get together.

charlotte!! congrats on your milestone 💚 i would love Vigée Le Brun, mostly because i am always looking for new artists that exude the kind of ~feelings~ i like from art

i love dark and atmospheric works, my favourite artists are francisco goya, jamie (and andrew) wyeth, edward hopper, paul klee, van gogh, and théodore géricault (specifically his anatomical studies on corpses and his work with the mentally ill), and dragan bibin

it has only also just now occurred to me we haven't talked about art lol 💚

visit the art gallery

ahhhh finnie!! thank you so much for the request! you are the first visitor to the gallery and I'm so excited!!!!! 🥰🥰

dark and atmospheric art also holds an incredibly special place in my heart, and all the artists you've listed are so wonderful! I hope I can suggest something that gives you the same vibes 💙

here's a list of artists I think you might like (with more details and images below the cut!)

John Atkinson Grimshaw

Leonora Carrington

Odilon Redon

William Blake

John Atkinson Grimshaw (Thro' the Woods and Roundhay Park Lake)

I picked Grimshaw for you because he has these lovely, haunting nighttime landscapes that are both beautiful and unsettling. the darkened trees and lingering mist seem to engulf the small, featureless figures as they traverse deeper into the darkness. these are two of my favorite examples, but he has many others in this genre as well!

Leonora Carrington (The Ancestor and Self-Portrait in Orthopedic Black Tie)

on the more abstract/surrealist side, I picked Carrington. she is such a compelling yet very under-studied artist who painted in a surrealist style for most of her career. for me, surrealism is often an "I love it or I hate it" kind of thing, and I love Carrington's work. her pieces really give off that dark vibe that is kind of creepy and slightly off-putting, yet also make you want to lean in closer and figure out the story behind the images. there's that element of both horror and fascination, which is why I think you might like her art.

Odilon Redon (The Eye, Like a Strange Balloon, Moves Toward Infinity and Mystery

Odilon Redon was actually quite heavily inspired by Goya, so he seems like a great fit for you! just like Goya, he was a prolific printmaker as well as a painter, and he produced tributes to other artists like Goya and even writers like Edgar Allan Poe (the first image here comes from his tribute to Poe). he was a symbolist artist, and his art is just really fucking weird (affectionate). there's darkness, there's horror, there's weird uses of color, there's strange, indistinct spaces, featureless figures, and just this sort of nebulous floaty-ness to many of his works. not only do I think you'll like him because he was inspired by Goya, but also because of this kind of whimsy and weirdness he mixes with horror elements.

William Blake (Ancient of Days and Hekate)

although he is much better known as a poet today (he's the "tiger tiger burning bright" guy), Blake was also an artist and illustrated his own poems as well as other works such as Dante's Inferno. his work feels almost symbolist, but about 100 years earlier. he was close to being a contemporary of Goya, and I think you can definitely see some resemblances in his art. at the time, his work was considered the product of "madness" and "visions," and it certainly has an eerie, otherworldly quality to it. kinda like Redon, some of it is just plain weird. I picked Blake both because of his resonances with Goya, but also the strange, mystical, and terrifying worlds he creates in his art.

I hope this was interesting/fun/helpful and that you found a new artist or artwork to explore further!

again, thank you so much for the request! 🥰

love and hugs,

charlotte 💙

I think a big reason as to why I'm so pissed off about the Steven situation is that because that is something very real

A lot of Dynasty problems are unrelatable rich white people problems. But what happened to Steven? That's something that does happen and the perpetrator, the abuser gets away with it too often. It's the victim left there to ponder their entire existence which is something we see. The abuser gets off scot free and doesn't look back.

I keep on thinking back to that Paris episode and just...what if Sam and Fallon hadn't shown up? What if that scene with the noose gone differently? Then what? What if they hadn't been there when they were

Adam has gotten away with all the pain he's caused and it's getting too much for me to continue watching it happen. He kills people? Oh no worries everyone makes mistakes! Sets his mother on fire? Don't worry it's all good! Gaslights Steven to the point where he's in a mental hospital? Oh no one even knows or seems to care about that

So yeah, I'm pissed off. You wanted to write him off? Fine but give him a better ending. Fuck all of you I'm done

Some say she married for money, others say it was for fame, she claims it was for love.... you be the judge.
