“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

[askjtetch]

Good Now, Mr Tetch !

Are you an amateur of poetry?

My dear, I most certainly am. Sonnets, haikus, elegies, odes, I’m fond of most all kinds. Reading them is always a treat, but I confess that my skill for writing them could be vastly improved.

One of my favourite poems would have to be The Valentine, by Lewis Caroll—a surprise to no one, I’m sure.

American mcgees alice asylum .

(Part 2 of dress concepts )

Here is all new updates on concept art for Alice’s new dresses aside from her original blue and the inferno which is on a earlier post ( along with the first set of dresses that were sketched up.) . Each dress is so beautiful in it’s own unique way the game is set to focus on the time she spent in the asylum and knowing the twisted beauty of wonderland and how it gets corrupted to the point it was. I love alice madness returns as do I love the original American mcgees alice. The story is great and the lore is fantastic . Here’s to hoping this game becomes part of our reality soon. (From part 1 of the previous pictures of her dress concepts that I posted)

So far the game is in creation and I know all of us alice fans are eager to be able to jump back into the corrupt wonderland that we know now. Hopefully we will get even more back story! I’m excited for this!

Let’s hear it for american mcgees amazing take on alice in wonderland

often the girls ms potato me while i sleep that i can walk on my hands smelling the way it sounds and seeing the way it feels.

once in a while God gets involved by inverting gravity so i have to reassemble myself on the ceiling right-side up but upside-down.

it doesn't remind me of my nightmare of the brakes going out on the freeway anymore, but my brain is ambidextrous and noncommittal now to the sensual haunting of it.

Don't look back.

You're not going that way.

Alice Liddell by Julia Cameron, 1872

"It Would Be Nice If Something Made Sense For A Change" (Lewis Carroll)

While millions of ordinary working people have received a less than inflation proof pay rise, and are suffering yearly cost of living crises, King Charles is to receive a MASSIVE 45% increase in the Sovereign Grant. At present he receives £86 million per year from us commoners. This is to rise to £125 million in 2025. As if this wasn’t enough, the perverse reason he is being granted this 22%  year-on-year increase is because he is already making a shed load of money.

Apparently, (and who knew this?)

“The amount put into the grant is proportional and reflective of the royal family’s property portfolio, the crown estate, and how much profit it makes. Due to the recent sales of leases for offshore farms, the crown estate has made more money recently, hence the increase.” (Heart.co.uk: 24/07/23)

Have we all fallen down the rabbit hole in this country? Alice may of said “curiouser and curiouser” as she grew bigger and bigger but surely nothing could be more bewildering than us (the tax payers) granting the king more and more of our money the richer he becomes?

ER 30th Anniversary Celebration Favorite Season ► Season 3 (1ˢᵗ Place → 22%) I admire surgeons and surgery but it's not the type of medicine I want to practice. I can be a competent surgeon. I can learn the techniques, the mechanics. But I'll never be a great surgeon. Dr. Anspaugh, I can be a great doctor. A doctor who spends time with his patients, who's there for them. I'm good at it. Really good. I can make a difference in peoples' lives. Don't make me give that up. Please don't make me waste it.
