#Elliott love letter

[writer-by-the-sea]

Well, you asked for a letter with the new ink samples, and I'm here to deliver!

(transcript:

Dearest Elliott,

My ink samples have finally come in! For a moment, I was afraid they may never arrive.

What do you think of it? This one is called cosmic blue, it has such a wonderful pink-red sheen. It even has little shimmer particles if you look close enough. I can definitely see how it got its name, don't you?

Over the week, I also bought myself a new pen. Figured I should treat myself. I had traveled to a specialty shop for writing supplies. It sas packed to the gills with different types of pens, ink and stationery! I felt like I hit the motherlode! Did you have any idea there was a special ink remover for ink stains on your hands? I think it's quite remarkable!

You know, the whole time I was there, I couldn't help but imagine what it'd be like if you were there with me. I reckon your head would spin from the sheer variety! But you'd be so amazed...

My mind began to drift off to what a day with you might be like... maybe a little bit of café hopping, a drink and a bite before perusing a bookstore or something of the like. Perhaps trying to resist the urge to buy everythint we laid our eyes on, failing, and leaving with empty wallets but our hearts so full.

...Maybe it'd progress to something more, but I digress.

Elliott, I don't think it's any surprise that you've proven to be a well of inspiration to me lately. And for that, I have nothing but gratitude in my heart.

This letter has been wordy enough, I fear. So I'll end it here before I use up all this precious ink! But hey... perhaps that little "date" idea could offer some food for thought, hmm?

Yours, Rae)

I've also attached a better photo to better demonstrate how the ink looks under a light!

My dearest, sweetest, lovely, amazing Rae,

The grin that spread across my face as soon as I got your letter is still refusing to leave. Even as I sit at my desk, trying to come up with the words to take you, my face nearly aches from how wide my smile is.

To think, that as soon as you got this ink; this beautiful, unique, special ink... you chose to write a letter to me. I am overflowing with nothing but joy, all worries washed away with each word you wrote to me.

The next time you're free, and can take some time off the farm, let me know.

Thinking of sitting on a striped blanket with you, a cool breeze flowing between us as the leaves turn to oranges and red. The temperature slowly dropping, forcing us to huddle together while we eat our little lunch and sip our hot coffee.

I would love to make your thoughts become a reality.

-- And maybe something more.

I can't wait to see you again, my sweet.

I love you.

Elliott

Ps, my birthday is coming up and I'm in dire need of some ink of my own...

Nami and Elliott

Since Elliott is a romantic, wouldn't it make sense to give him a love letter or a poem instead of a bouquet? Just a personal idea, nothing wrong with the bouquet in-game.

[elliotts-letters]

Rip Elliott you would’ve loved “you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you…

[mossy-rot]

been going along with my gay little polycule with sebastian and elliott in stardew and i deeply enjoy the difference between their dialogue about being gay. sebastian says "I haven't felt this way about another guy before" and elliiott's is "I was worried you wouldn't feel this way about a man" seb's just now learning he's bisexual and elliott already knew he's gay as the day is long

[sweetalissum]

People like me who play both are going to try and claim Gale’s equivalent in Stardew is Harvey but it is actually my beloved Elliott. They both seem pretentious but are thoughtful and sweet, they both tell you in almost the same manner that they dabble in poetry, Elliott’s spouse add on room is a library, and both have a weakness for wine.

I am right about this and I will die on this hill.

[wysteriadelights]

hey guys. i died yesterday from sheer exhaustion from dog sitting (pupper too strong) and today i decided im actually going to demolish the new stardew valley update for another 30 hours or so (i have a total of 90+ hours with it) so ill be gone for a bit longer. if u see me suddenly sharing endless yandere elliott content. u know whats up.

[luteboydurge]

Did Hope’s letter make anyone else cry or was it just me😭

[starrysidereus]

YEARNING

[nervocat]

I'm literally

[escargon]

The funniest thing about restarting Stardew Valley for the new update is that because I still haven't memorized the schedules of the bachelors and bachelorettes my best relationships other than my husband are with Linus, Clint, Pam and Krobus

[rosieaurora]

Hello my darling Rose, your name truly is the most enchanting thing ever. Once I write my novel you will of course be the main character, everybody needs to know of you my love. What do you say I make us a nice Lobster dinner tonight and we eat it on the dock lit my lantern? I'm sure Willy wouldn't mind. The only thing that could make it better is if it was during the beautiful dance of the moonlight jellies, but then we wouldn't get to be alone together, and I'd just be looking at you the whole time anyway angel. No matter what we do as long as you are there it will be magnificent. You light my life brighter than the jellies and I am eternally grateful to have the honor and pleasure of getting to be your husband. It is truly the best gift I could ever ask for. I love you so much my sweet Rosy, My favorite flower. - Elliot🌹

Elliott, my beloved 💖

[writer-by-the-sea]

hi! if you’re letters from elliott are still open, i‘d love a romantic one with just a hint of spice:)

can be sent to me privately.

name is christiane, i love lavender and cows, dislike parsley lol and rude people, hobbies include going for a walk in the woods and making candles that smell nice 🌸 people say I‘m too nice for my own good

it would make my day :) but pls take your time

To my sweet Christiane,

As I sit to write this letter, I find it difficult to find the words to elegantly describe how much I long for you.

This morning, while you were making your way through the woods, softly singing to yourself while you twirled and took in the nature around you— I thought to myself, there is no creature more beautiful than her. Even now, in my lonely home on the beach, my heart is filled with joy knowing that you’re mine. I miss you. You’re a short walk away, one that I will always take, but; I fear that I will lose all control once I see you again.

I am desperate to take you into my arms, to feel your heart beat wildly into my chest while I lean down and finally brush my lips against yours. Desperate, to carry you into your home and ravage you on the bed, denting your walls as the headboard slams into the wall. Desperate to fill you with my seed over and over, to hell with having a child outside of wedlock.

You are so kind, so fun, so beautiful, so enchanting, so prefect, I fall in love all over again each time I lay my eyes on you. From the moment I first saw you, I knew. I knew, that we were bound to come together one day.

I can’t wait.

I love you, Christiane.

More than you will ever know.

Your secret admirer.

nobody believes in you more than your future spouse.

Hello! I'm Elliott, and I run Vermilion Zines, a multi-format studio that usually produces collaborative artbooks aka zines. I have run and crowdfunded several zines in the past and I'm looking forward to doing the same for this pin project. I've loved the atmosphere and architecture of Bloodborne since I first played it in 2015, and these pins are my love letters to them. These pins will be 7 pins total - 3 gold plated, 4 antique nickel plated - two inches tall in hard enamel, with screenprinted texture over the moons.

You'll be able to pick which pin you prefer towards the end of the project, in the survey that will be sent after the project is completed. The first pin will be the Astral Clocktower.

Thank you for reading, and be sure to keep an eye on the project! The estimated launch date is November 15.

WHO IS THE HOTTEST JANE AUSTEN MAN ? THE FINAL

Propaganda...

Captain Wentworth (1995):

Ciaran Hinds has that perfect ruggedness yet friendliness to his face that makes him the perfect charming Wentworth. And all of the longing that he manages to convey in his eyes is so hot.

Wentworth may be angry/resentful with Anne but in general he is charming and the best friend you could ever have. Ciaran gets the pleasant parts of his character and brings them out, while keeping a guarded coolness (protective camouflage) with Anne.

I dunno if this counts as propaganda or not, but Ciaran Hinds has a face that looks like it was jackhammered out of a shale cliff.

If a line like 'I am half agony...half hope' comes out of a face like that you know that man has a soul for poetry.

I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in

F. W.

I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.  

This is propaganda for the next round because I need my boy to be a finalist! But this letter is all the persuasion I need to know that he is a winner

Ciarán Hinds in this is a whole other level of "a good man" He makes Anne's decision at the end so much more perfect.

The yearning the yearning - JLM gives a great look but Captain Wentworth is the king of longing stares. He's trying sooo hard to hate her sooo hard to get over her - 8 years and he thinks he's ready to face her and move on but no he has to notice she's exhausted on the walk, that her nephew is being overwhelming, that she should be dancing and not just playing the piano for everyone else. And even though he's jealous later on when Mr Elliott gives her an "admiring look" in lime he's pleased for her because he knows she deserves to be admired and cherished even if he's angry that he wasn't able to be the one she let admire and cherish her. I just this man - he loves Anne so much and it's so so hot.

Propaganda for Captain Wentworth.

I've always loved Persuasion and so I was voting for him in his polls anyway, but I had never seen the 1995 adaptation. So because of this blog I decided to check it out.

Well. Now I'm obsessed. I came into this tournament fully expecting to vote Firth Darcy to victory. Ciaran Hinds suddenly showed up and sparta kicked him to curb. His every look, every gesture is laden with longing. He's so tender with Anne but then the barely restrained rage in his voice when he speaks to Lady Russell. He's rugged and manly yet tender and considerate.

I BURN, I PINE, I PERISH

If you're wondering why you should vote for Wentworth 95 in the @hotjaneaustenmenpoll, it's because he's got something hot for everyone.

Do you think it's hot when a man dresses up fancy? He looks very dapper in his uniform! Or do you find it more sexy when a man is more casual, a little mussed up, maybe even a little grimy? He does that perfectly too!

Do you find men hot when they're being tender and restrained? Or do you find men hot when they're losing control a bit, maybe getting a bit passionate with anger or jealousy?

Do you like a refined man of culture? Or a rugged outdoorsman?

A warm smile? Or something more broody?

Someone who's the life of the party, boisterous, laughing, charming? Or the strong silent type, serious, calm, mysterious?

Hinds's Wentworth does all of these sexy things brilliantly! You cannot lose with him, he's got it all!

II ranked Wentworth as the #1 Austen man in terms of fuckability, and I stand behind that when it comes to Wentworth 95 versus Knightley 09.

Is Wentworth 95 angry sometimes? Yeah. But that's hot, at least coming from Ciaran Hinds' ruggedly handsome face. Have you heard of makeup sex? Tell me Wentworth 95 and Anne don't have the most scorching hot angry makeup sex imaginable 🥵

And yet Wentworth 95 is also super tender! The slow, gentle, worshipful way he kisses Anne at the end?? So beautiful and hot. The longing way he looks at Anne in silence. The way he is so solicitous of Anne's comfort to put her on the carriage with his sister! You can just tell he's gonna take the time to worship his wife in bed.

And let's not forget that he writes the most romantic letter ever written! The depth of passion in this man, my god! 🔥💕🔥

This is not a who is the better man contest, or who is the more faithful to the book, or who would you most want to marry. This is a hotness contest, and Wentworth 95 is so fucking hot.

Mr Darcy (1995):

Colin Firth (1995) is book Darcy brought to life. He uses tiny gestures and looks to communicate with us and Elizabeth… his struggle is so subtle but so palpable. A beautiful asshole with a creamy nougat center. Just perfect.

Colin Firth Darcy is simultaneously immaculately put together and entirely falling apart internally. The wet shirt scene is so iconic not (only) because ‘oooh almost-shirtless sexy man’, but because it’s a metaphor for how he’s absolutely falling apart!!! This is a private moment, when he doesn’t think anyone can see him. And then he bumps. into. Lizzie. At his house!! And the entire sequence that follows with him rushing out still doing his jacket up to catch her before he leaves. They are both on the back foot and it’s THAT moment of confusion that opens a more honest dialogue between them.

Without Firth in a lake you wouldn’t get Macfadyen in a downpour!

There's a reason why Colin Firth is forever known as Mr. Darcy above all other roles he's had and will have! Even ignoring the wet white shirt, which has become A Thing now, he is so hot with his curly hair and his little half smiles and his intense looks of longing and his legs that go on for milessss.

This cannot be real. My fellow Jane Austen people. Without Colin Firth’s Darcy we wouldn’t have 90% of modern JA content. He opened a door and there was no turning back for modern culture. There would be no MacFadyen standing half undressed in a field at dawn without Firth jumping into a lake first. There would be no hand flex if there hadn’t been Firth doing his best impression of a man undressing Elizabeth Bennet with his eyes and hating himself for liking it. There would be no Bridgerton without Bridget Jones. Let’s face it people. We wouldn’t be here having these arguments if Colin Firth had not been Mr Darcy.

Colin Firth understood Mr. Darcy in a way no other actor ever has. He is awkward as fuck in a way that comes across as snooty and judgmental on a first watch-through, then can be read as awkward and longing on a second time. His performance had such depth while looking extremely shallow at first glance. This man WAS Mr. Darcy. (I love 2005, as well, and I love Matthew McFayden, but he was awkward for awkward sake.) Colin Firth made Darcy's awkward look snooty and aloof.

THE socially awkward Darcy is the 1995 Darcy - look at him coming and sitting in awkward silence with Elizabeth pointedly asking her if she wants to live a long way from her family (to obvious relief) and then abruptly leaving - vote for him please 😭😭😭😭

Colin Firth served so much as Darcy that when they did Bridget Jone's diary, they brought him back.... AS DARCY. The smoulder. The angst. The man is the quintessential Darcy.

“Firthing” is an actual term that is used now to describe someone yearning intensely. It is named after Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy performance.

Colin Firth all the way. He's known in our household as Owl Eyes because in every frame he's mooning over Elizabeth Bennet. Unsurpassable, unmatched, golden television (and some of the worst dancing you've ever seen).

Colin has beautiful, touchable curls.

My high school English teacher was very into using movies to teach alongside literature, which was a great teaching tool. When we read Pride and Prejudice, he used both 2005 and 1995 for various scenes. What stands out to me all these years later was when it got to the part when Lizzy went to help Georgiana after Caroline dropped Mr. Wickham's name and Darcy gives Lizzy this look:

My teacher stopped the film and pointed at Darcy's face and said, "See that? That is THE look. If someone ever looks at you like that, you know they're in love." And what is hotter than that?

Also this teacher had two cats named Lizzy and Darcy. Not relevant to the poll but I wanted you all to know about them.

Colin Firth dazzles and amazes in the nuanced performance that just blows all other attempts away.

The best thing about the Colin Firth wet shirt scene is actually the scene that follows where him and Lizzie are both just dyinggg of embarrassment but Darcy pulls himself together refuses to lose his advantage and runs to get dressed and chase her down before she leaves - just the mix of cringe and hopefulness at seeing her again is so well done and so attractive!!! (this is just the bit where he's running after her but I love it all!)
