And now for the first time, a poll idea that got sent to me via request, from @bringerofworlds! Thanks so much for sending in this question, I hadn't heard of these stories myself until I got this ask, so I'm excited to see how many of you all might have read them or know of them yourselves.
@bringerofworlds told me both of these stories were written with the permission of the ACD estate, and blend in with canon pretty seamlessly, so these are definitely going on my to read list! Would love to hear everyone's thoughts if you've read these also.
Please reblog for a larger sample size, they really wanted to see what the fandom's awareness of these stories is, so hoping for plenty of replies! :)

also two things to be aware of if you do read the house of silk
it’s long, I don’t know the page count off the top of my head but the audiobook is 18 hours. the audiobook narrator is excellent though! and the mystery itself is genuinely compelling and kept me invested. Horowitz does interesting things with corruption and class as well, that aren’t always the main focus of the story but are there and intriguing to think about.
the book’s main content warning also spoils its main plot twist. I listened to a podcast episode reviewing the book before reading it, so I had it spoiled for me, and still found the book interesting. idk how you would feel about spoilers for it, so I’ll just say this: I compared it to the orphanage section of LF, and while the book does not deal with medical abuse, a lot of other similar elements are present. I can dm you the specifics if you want.
nodding nodding. i was okay when I did light fingers so ill probably be able to handle it, just gotta mentally steel/prepare myself before hand. appreciate the heads up o7
the real challenge will be getting me to actually read anything lmao. audiobooks arent great for me cuz well uh. i mean my hearing aids do make listening easier but XD

Fashion of the Great Houses of Westeros: House Tully of Riverrun
#asoiafedit#asongoficeandfireedit#valyrianscrolls#valyriansource#tullyedit#housetullyedit#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#house tully#ghf*#mine*#this is actually the first house i visualised in a fashion sense way back when#i watched claire mccarthy's ophelia in 2020 and saw all the gorgeous flowy gowns and daisy ridley's red wig and just went 'tully!!!'#I know the Riverlands are very rich and populous due to their centralisation but in my mind#they’re also a little behind culturally due to the constant battles and invasions#so the style of their fashion is a little less structured and complex than what you’d find in the westerlands or the vale or the stormlands#and also the cut of the outfits is reminiscent of what you’d find in both the iron islands and the north which echoes the impact#both kingdoms have had on the region#that doesn’t mean they skimp on fabric or aesthetic though!!#there's lots of flowy silks and shiny fabrics that evok running water#women wear their hair either loose or in intricate braids held with metal rings (a holdover from the three centuries of durrandon reign)#also THEE beetle wing lady macbeth dress is here in spirit!!!#500*

slowly chugging away at this baby blanket, 8in down, 31 to go!!!!!
#pattern is from the little house baby set#and I’m using my new linen silk alpaca blend from wollberry#it’s small yarn!!! but it’s knitting up beautifully#this is for my cousin’s baby girl who will be born this December!#I made her big brother a twin bed sized blanket so making a stroller size this time#and in complimenting colors and patterns so they look good together#luckily I have enough runway#the only thing I’m like 60/40 on is if I have enough yarn#if I can get to 1/3rd before switching my ball out I’ll be in the clear#knitting#knitblr#thoughts? thoughts#(yes that is my other shawls in the background ignore them)#fiber arts

Beautiful promethea moth I managed to untangle some cobwebs from last night :) she stuck around where I put her for a while to rest and recover, and was sent on her way just now! At first I mistook her for a cecropia, but after a little more digging (and the help of some sunlight) I found that she more closely resembles a promethea :D I love her and I hope she enjoys the rest of her little buggy life <3
#shes so pretty!!!#my sister called me out to see her last night after dnd#shes afraid of most forms of bugs and the little lady was chilling on the door#so she didnt want her to fly into the house#when I went to relocate her I noticed some webbing on her leg and very carefully removed it#my sister noticed she was still on the window I put her on and I went out to check on her#i got to watch her regain her strength and fly off into the sky :D#bug#bugblr#insects#entomology#lepidopterology#moths#silk moths#promethea moth#Callosamia promethea#bugs my beloved <3

You can smell the springtime blooms on this remarkable 1882 gown from the House of Worth. It's got all the pieces of late 19th century fashion I just adore, including those sculptural influences. Doesn't it almost look like the kind of detail you'd see on marble statues.
So, this is silk, silk, and silk. Silk flowers, satin, and some gauzy bits, too. The Met doesn't give us any details other than "silk" but it doesn't take a fashion forensics expert to recognize sheers.
One of my favorite things about the 1870s and 1880s is the playfulness with symmetry. Until this point, the vast majority of Western fashion really focused on symmetry in everything. Which is, of course, very lovely. But alongside the rise of mass industrialization came a shift in composition, a desire to fiddle with the rigid structures and emulate nature and, perhaps, a little chaos, too. Perhaps that's one of the reasons it's so very appealing to me.
There's a whole lot more about Charles Frederick Worth over here if you're interested. He was quite the character.

"While Rabban is only featured wearing his armor in the first film, Part Two reveals him wearing black silk pajamas like the Baron in Part One. The character is more aloof and his clothes more decadent." - The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Two.

Every time we visit Spike's crypt in season 6 that man is doing everything he can to be as fuckable as humanly possible.
#dylan says things#btvs#spike btvs#he's always got like an open shirt look#or he's just fully naked#or he's in despair#like why was he perched coquettishly on his coffin with a sort of open silk shirt number reading a book#when he was previously alone in his house#he hears buffy coming and he's like “fuck i have two seconds to make myself look so so slutty”

09.12.2024 - a book that changed my life
the house of silk by anthony horowitz
"it is impossible to imagine what the world will be like by then, what advances mankind will have made, but perhaps future readers will be more inured to scandal and corruption than my own would have been. to them i bequeath one last portrait of Sherlock Holmes, and a perspective that has not been seen before."

2024 Roundup
Told myself that I would do less this year on purpose. First of all, stopped self shooting because honestly I hate self shooting. Second I just didn't really feel like doing a lot. Don't know how to explain it but that's how it be sometimes.
Lotta personal stuff happening too that made me decide to not do a whole lot of cosplay stuff. Hopefully I can get back to making more in 2025.Despite being a slower year, I really feel like I got to connect more and better with people. Through it all, I'm here and still cosplaying. Thanks for sticking around.
Photos: Unironically all of the nice photos are from Zach Mleczek Photography and Videography If it's a selfie or a random full body shot, that's me. The rest is literally Zach
