Marbled Monday

This week for Marbled Monday we return to the work of William Blake as published by the Trianon Press and the William Blake Trust. The poem is Visions of the Daughters of Albion, which was first published by William Blake in 1793 with his own illustrations. This Trianon Press edition was published in 1959 and is a facsimile of the original, meaning it was reproduced as closely as possible, including Arches pure rag paper made to match that which was used by Blake. The paper also features a watermark of Blake's monogram in the lower corner of every sheet.

The edition is quarter-bound in orange leather and orange, brown, and tan marbled paper. The paper is a really interesting pattern, similar to Cockerell's Octopus or Whirl pattern. It is difficult to tell who did the marbling because it isn't stated in the colophon, but it is possibly by French marbler Michel Duval, who the Trianon Press used frequently for their marbled papers. It could also be by Cockerell, but seems less likely judging by the number of mentions of Duval in the finding aid for the Trianon Press Archives at UC Santa Cruz.

A fandom isn’t complete without corny memes like this so I had to 😭

Showing up late to the fandom, I know, but hey, look, I finally have a fic to show for it! Monarch is a perfect show, and the one that finally got me to pay for a streaming service. Curses!

Words: 6,353

Category: F/F

Pairings: Cate/May, although this is a bit more focused on the friendship of the main trio than solidly a romance fic.

Content Warnings: All of Cate Randa's many issues - depression, survivor's guilt, past cheating, and discussion of suicidal thoughts that falls mainly in the context of the survivor's guilt.

Summary:

They’d locked eyes across the quieting field of reunions, and suddenly Kentaro’s two years seemed to vanish. Suddenly, he and May were back in the middle of their trip around the world hunting Monarch secrets. Specifically, they were back in San Francisco, overhearing Cate’s argument with her mother. That had been the start of what she supposed she and Kentaro had become, now. Any awkwardness that once existed, or still existed, between them was secondary to the fact they both cared about Cate and needed her to be okay. And Cate… was not okay.

Also, Duvall is there (being the cool aunt)

There is this interesting moment in the scene where Lee is being interrogated by Verdugo, and Lee calls out how the smartest minds at Monarch decided “let them fight” was the best idea and the scene cuts from Lee to Michelle Duvall’s reaction

Upon first watch, it might not seem much more than just a reaction shot, but after finishing the season, you realize the clever little bit of foreshadowing they’re already planting the seeds for.

They put her reaction in that moment, specifically in a moment critiquing what happened in Godzilla 2014, because her sister Sandra died in Janjira in that very movie.

There is an emotional stake for her when Lee is calling out the mismanagement of things that got people like her sister killed. In that moment, Michelle was likely already assessing if she could trust Lee to take action that Monarch wasn’t taking, hence also why she was rather aggressively asking Tim a bunch of questions about how Lee knew all the things Monarch doesn’t even know.

That all makes her “turn” in the later episodes have much more foundation and logic. She was already unsatisfied with Monarch, she was effectively fishing for information, and Lee calling out Monarch for their inaction gave her the signal that she had found a new leader to follow.

I love when shows retroactively upon rewatch makes the episodes even better because you can now catch all the little foreshadowing details they placed in them.

Film after film: Widows (dir. Steve McQueen, 2018)

Plot-wise, it's just okay, but actorly it's a great pleasure. I love Davis when she plays roles that are not so in-your-face showy, with the proverbial "snot out of nose" crying (see this year's Air too). Here she's more steely but also vulnerable, as the wife of a (seemingly) dead criminal, who is coerced into paying his debts and aims to complete a job that originally he planned. There are some plot twists and turns, sometimes impressive and well staged, but it's predominantly an actor's film. Kaluuya stands out as the most evil person alive.
