Coming up with fashion for my fantasy setting is very fun; when witch hunting got bad in the 16th century, witches all over Britain and Ireland fled to the magical realm. Theoretically, never to return. But human witches can't resist popping their heads back through every now and then to see what's happening, it's even a right of passage to go on an illegal Human World jaunt in your final school year. Consequently, fashion gets weird

(Here's Cian - he's the sort of "cool big brother" character, four years older than the main characters)

"I'm going to read some more poems now. Erm. It may be that if you want to go and have a cup of tea, this would be a good time. I know that's what you masses are like. The mention of poetry and off you go."

St Agnes’ Day

Today is St Agnes’ Day. Agnes is believed to have been a Christian, born to an aristoratic Roman family in the fourth century AD. She was executed in 350 during Diocletian’s persecution of Christians aged just thirteen. A number of miracles are said to have taken place around her execution, including the failure of kindling when the Roman authorities attempted to burn her to death following her refusal to renounce her faith. A soldier then killed her by stabbing her through the throat. She is honoured by most Christian churches as one of the virgin saints, and is often depicted in the company of a sheep, probably due to a possibly deliberate misreading of Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). For this reason today is said to be a good day to bless sheep and all things woollen.

For some reason Agnes’ story has also found a home in Cornwall, but it is an altogether more fanciful tale, if no less dark. The chaste Agnes became the object of affection of a Cornish Giant named Bolster. Nothing Agnes could say would dissuade her gigantic suitor from his pursuit although the young woman’s constant rejections led Bolster to take out his frustration on the local settlements. Agnes therefore devised a cunning ruse to rid both her and the locality of the tiresome giant. Agnes persuaded Bolster to prove his love for her by opening a vein in his wrist and filling a hole at Chapel Porth near Truro, with his blood. The simple-minded giant had no idea that the hole led under the sea and had no bottom. As Bolster slowly lost consciousness, Agnes rolled him to a cliff edge and kicked him into the waves to drown. The grateful local people named their village St Agnes in her honour. Given this rather unchristian homicidal behaviour, it is likely that this Cornish Agnes is descended from a pagan giant-killing Celtic heroine.

Porthos' expressions when Athos receives the duel challenge from the Duke of Savoy are so hilarious.  Like, buddy has the smuggest face throughout the entire exchange, and it really should have clued the Duke into the fact that it wasn't going to go well.  My receipts:

The "yeah, right" of the first picture, the "well, okay, then, your funeral" of the second... I love them both
