#i particularly think jopson could look like an awesome upstart genius snooker player dude

[kiev4am]

I’m here this evening specifically to say that I caught a bit of the snooker final the other night, and while musing idly on the fact that I don’t follow snooker at all yet still love the aesthetic of it - the elegance of the table and the game, the hushed audience, the timelessness of it and most of all the way the players dress, the absolutely peak iconic look of black trousers, white shirt and fancy as hell silk-backed waistcoat - I was visited by a most excellent idea, and that idea was this:

Jopson/Little snooker AU.

Imagine it though.  The clothes seem to fit their old-fashioned dress uniform vibe and the venerable history of snooker frees up a whole range of time periods.  Thomas Jopson as the deadpan working-class hero who has wiped out all opposition to meet elite but modest reigning champion Edward Little in the final.  Imagine the quiet of the match, the tension, the murmuring of the commentator, the stares across the table, the ridiculous shots, THE WAISTCOATS.

(Jopson wins.  Then, uh, they both do.)

Going to just go right ahead and tag @arcticelves and @lafiametta because they make the pretty words and gifsets and I have no shame.
