I just reread The Beauty and the Beast, and its message resonated with me more deeply than ever. It’s not just a story of romance—it's a powerful reminder that true beauty is found within. In a world that often emphasizes outward appearances, this tale teaches us that love, compassion, and kindness are what truly define a person’s worth.

The Beast, once trapped by his own arrogance and selfishness, is transformed not because of a magical spell alone, but through the power of love and the healing it brings. Beauty, with her open heart and willingness to see beyond the surface, reminds us of the strength that comes from empathy and understanding. She doesn’t fear what others see in the Beast; instead, she looks deeper, recognizing the goodness that lies hidden within him.

This story is a beacon of hope, showing that love has the power to break down the hardest walls, heal the deepest wounds, and change lives. It reminds us that we all have the capacity to grow, to change, and to become better versions of ourselves when we are loved for who we truly are. In a world full of judgment and division, The Beauty and the Beast calls us to look beyond appearances, to embrace love, and to believe in the beauty that lives within each of us.

Edward Gorey: History of an Eccentric Creator

While styles of artists like Tim Burton, Laika Studios, and Neil Gaiman are widely known, it's notable to me that the adoration for Edward Gorey's distinctive style doesn't always receive the same level of recognition.

Gorey began drawing at 18 months (!) and taught himself to read by age three. He skipped several grades and engaged in various school activities and publications, he left Francis Parker School with high scores, earning scholarships both to Harvard and Yale. At 17, with pending WWII draft notices, Gorey briefly studied art at the Art Institute of Chicago before joining the U.S. Army during World War II, serving until after the war's end, mainly at the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah.

In 1946, Edward Gorey enrolled at Harvard, majoring in French Literature, and delved into various artistic pursuits, including publishing stories, poems, designing sets, and directing for the Poets Theatre. Despite somehow ending up on both the Dean's List and under constant threats of expulsion, he excelled. In 1953, upon being offered a position at Doubleday Anchor in New York City, Gorey became a prominent figure in design, illustrating over fifty covers and gaining recognition as a major commercial illustrator. After stints at other publishing houses, he turned freelance in the early 1960s, illustrating well over five hundred books for others while also crafting his own works. His career began with the 1953 book "The Unstrung Harp," a precursor to graphic novels, praised by Graham Greene and recognized as a "minor masterpiece" by The London Times. Edmund Wilson's acclaim in The New Yorker marked the start of Gorey's exceptional fifty-year career, resulting in 116 written and illustrated works.

From displaying art at the Francis Parker School in 1939 to showcasing at the Mandrake Bookshop during his Harvard years and even as far as California, Edward Gorey's artistic journey was expansive. In 1967, Gotham Book Mart invited Gorey to exhibit at its newly opened second-floor art gallery, a collaboration that spanned thirty-two years. This partnership led to occasional publications of new Gorey works by Gotham Book Mart and collaborations with figures like Samuel Beckett and John Updike. Gorey's love for theater blossomed into involvement in off-Broadway productions, summer Cape Cod plays, and the 1973 design of "Dracula" for a Nantucket theater. The Broadway adaptation, "Edward Gorey’s Dracula," opened in 1977, achieving immense success, earning two Tony Awards, running for nearly three years, and touring globally.

Having frequented Cape Cod for years, Gorey's connection to the region deepened in 1979 when he used royalties from the New York Dracula production to acquire a two-century-old sea captain's home in Yarmouth Port. By 1983, he made the decision to bid farewell to New York City and establish his residence on the Cape. Amidst this shift, Gorey intensified his involvement in small experimental plays, maintained an active presence in publishing, art exhibitions, etching creations, and juggled a demanding workload of commercial projects. In 1980, he was commissioned to design animated introductions for Boston Public Television's Mystery! series, a collaborative effort with animator Derek Lamb that remains an enduring testament to Gorey's artistic legacy, encapsulating the essence of several of his works in a concise half-minute.

Gorey, known for maintaining the mystery and refusing to "explain" his books, revealed a glimpse into his philosophical inclinations during a single interview. When pressed about his beliefs, he identified as a Taoist, leaning towards surrealism. Examining his early teen art unveils evident influences from Di Chirico, Dali, and Ernst

Edward Gorey's multifaceted body of work, encompassing humor, complexity, seriousness, and provocation, has solidified his position as a significant American figure in literature, art, and theater that should always be remembered!

Yes, yes I caved in and made a 'Doctor Who' inspired UTAU !! The sans in this AU is the Doctor, his name is Vortex !! Instead of having two hearts like the Doctor, he has two souls. (I'll explain how this works later on !!)

His AU was called TimelessTale, and yes, the time war did happen here (the war was between the monsters and humans instead, which I feel like the human and Dalek parallels are pretty funny).

I'm debating on making the Master, which if I do, it might be Muffet !!😋🗯✨

I'M GOING TO BE POSTING SO MUCH ABOUT HIM BECAUSE I ADORE HIM, and he's a part of the Everlasting-Tale storyline too now 🤯🎉💫

Moreover, it has experienced a remarkable renaissance with the recent rise of historical fiction trilogy books.

“A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens exemplifies a timeless classic. The novella was published in 1843 and has captured readers' hearts for generations. The story is so entangled with the winter holidays that it has inspired numerous adaptations on all types of media and has become an integral part of the Western literary canon.

Set in Victorian London, the story revolves around the life of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge. This man is so heartless and consumed by his greed that he does not comprehend the amount of suffering various people surrounding him endure. On one fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is met by the ghost of his late business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him of his ultimate fate and the arrival of three ghosts: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.

One of the things that makes A Christmas Carol a timeless classic is its multilayered thematic background. The novella is a story of redemption, compassion, and the true spirit of the winter celebration. The book’s central theme revolves around the idea that it is never too late to reform, rekindle old relationships, and allow the sheer warmth of giving to enter one’s life.

Another captivating part of the novella is the word-image of Victorian London. The city, with its grimy streets and impoverished neighbourhoods, is presented vividly through the eyes of the novel’s protagonists. Scrooge’s interactions with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and the Fezziwig family stress the importance of human connection and love for others regardless of societal discrepancy.

However, the most essential thing in A Christmas Carol is the genuine, multi-faceted, and memorable characters. With his famous catchphrase, “Bah, humbug!” Scrooge has surpassed the barrier between the book’s pages and has become an idiom for many English speakers. Nevertheless, it is not only the comic character that contributes to the novella’s attraction. He is a bonus fide protagonist who changes from the unfeeling older man into the giver. His transformation is the biblical process, symbolised by Marley and the three ghosts that appear to Scrooge. Past takes him down the memory path; Present presents the wonders of Christmas and the importance of family and friends, while Yet to Come is a dark mirror of the future if Scrooge continues his selfish way.

The book is also language-rich and story-rich. Charles Dickens’ elegant prose and brilliant storytelling completely incorporate the reader into the narration's spirit.

A Christmas Carol is still a gem that spins and always hits home. It epitomizes the real meaning of Christmas, encapsulates the need for one another during the celebration, and most profoundly speaks of an individual's capability to reach new extremes of generosity.

Whispers of Elegance

Chapter One: The studio exuded the rich fragrance of roses, the light summer breeze teasing the garden’s trees, carrying with it the heavy scent of lilacs and the delicate perfume of pink-flowering thorns. Lying on the Persian saddle-bags, Lord Henry Wotton smoked, the curls of opium-tainted cigarette smoke dancing lazily around him. His eyes caught the gleam of honey-sweet laburnum blossoms,…
