Shot silk in historical paintings

Shot silk is a plain-weave in which the warp is one color and the weft another. The result is complex new tints and shades wherever the fabric gets folded or creased. It was popular in 17th and 18th century, of course only for the very wealthy.

Me trying to think up a way to tie Jace’s clothes into a further physical manifestation of the illusion of choice Porter grants him - remembers about how it’s like inspired by bodice ripping novels - realizes corsets/clothes that lace up in the back are literally perfect as Jace has mage hand so he can still lace them himself but it’s easier for Porter to unlace while he has his arms wrapped around Jace

Wrote an Aaron Davis oc x canon angst one shot inspired by this think piece by @incognito-duo that’s about him and Jeff seeing the other in Miles. I loved it so much and it inspired me so much too!

If you like this piece and are interested in how my character and Aarons relationship comes to be, you can read their full story here!

Below is artwork of my OC Vinex Devi which was done by dee_from_webtoon on instagram and webtoon

Earth 42-B, middle of the night. Cuddled up to him with Aarons arm draped around them, Vinex began to stir awake as they heard something; a voice softly murmuring. As they came to and looked up, they realized it was Aarons voice. Through the darkness, they could see his lips barely moving. They lifted their head and gently rubbed their hand on his chest.

“Aaron? Darling?”

They asked quietly. His head moved from side to side as his eyelids slowly fluttered open.

“Babe?”

He muttered with a hoarse voice.

“Were you dreaming? You were talking in your sleep just now,”

They clarified for him. Aaron removed his arm from Vinex’s shoulders to sit up and rub his eyes.

“Wait, wait, wait, what…?”

He mumbled in confusion. Vinex sat up and watched him reach for his phone on the bedside table. He planted his feet on the floor and looked at the time that read the late hour displayed on top of his screens wallpaper, an old picture of him and Jeff. He stared at it, and Vinex watched with concern as a realization started to paint his screen-illuminated face.

“Aaron, is something wrong?”

They questioned as they put a hand on his back. He began tearing up, and set his phone down to cover his face with both hands, leaning over and resting his elbows on his lap.

“Goddammit…”

He sighed shakily. Seeing he was upset, Vinex moved closer and held his shoulders.

“My love, what is it?”

They persisted with worry.

“It’s Jeff, I was having a dream about Jeff…it felt so real, I-I forgot for a second…”

He admitted.

“Oh heavens, no, I’m so sorry,”

Vinex frowned as they patted his back. He started to sniffle and held back his sobs in his hands. They moved to sit beside him on the edge of the bed, holding him close and kissing his temple.

“I’m so messed up right now…Can you promise me that this right now is real?”

“Absolutely, this is real life, I promise you,”

They reassured. Aaron reached for their hand and held it tight, pressing it to his forehead.

“God…I don’t even realize how much I miss him sometimes…”

“Do you want to talk about it? I’m here to listen to you, always.”

They offered. He let out a sigh.

“…sometimes…I see him. I look at Miles, and I see a little version of him…an’ I know that’s obvious, he’s his son, but…it shakes me up sometimes…and, other times I wonder, if before he was gone, he ever looked at Miles and saw me? I kinda hope he did, but…I get why he wouldn’t want that…I hate how things was between us. I really, really do. And I hate how complicated it was, I wish I could say that it all didn’t matter, but it’s just not that easy,”

He let out a small sob at the end of his sentence. Vinex frowned and tightened their hold on him with their free arm.

“It doesn’t sound like it was easy at all. I’m so sorry Aaron,”

They consoled him. He turned towards them and hid his face in the crook of their neck and continued to cry softly, very clearly trying to resist fully letting go. Vinex continued and encouraged,

“Please my love, cry as much as you need to, let it out.”

With this, Aaron allowed himself to cry a little louder, a little more unrestrained, though was still overall quiet and tame. Vinex let him do so, rubbing his back and staying silent for a little bit before speaking again.

“Do you want any input from me, or did you just want me to listen?”

They asked him. After thinking on the question, Aaron raised his head and laid it on their shoulder.

“Did you have any input to give?”

He inquired.

“Well, it’s not very relevant to what you’ve just talked about, but, it’s what I like to think about whenever I find myself missing Jeff, or when I think about his and yours complicated relationship,”

They explained. Aaron listened curiously.

“What is it?”

“I, I like to imagine that in whatever afterlife hopefully exists, he’s watching you take such good care of Miles, and be so supportive to him, and helping him and Rio get by, and he’s proud of you. And, maybe he realizes some of the things he thought about you were wrong,”

They told him. Aaron gave a small scoff.

“I doubt it. His ass was so stubborn…and god, he’d hate that I taught Miles how to prowl…”

He sighed shakily with self-disappointment. Vinex frowned and gently rubbed his shoulders.

“You did have your reasons. You told me it was because Miles wanted to be able to protect himself and others, right?”

“Yeah…”

“So, you taught him just that, in the way you knew best. I’m sure Jeff would understand it from that perspective.”

Aaron slowly nodded his head.

“You gotta point…thanks, I…I feel better now I think.”

“I’m so happy to hear. How can I make you feel even better?”

They asked with a smile. He shrugged.

“I dunno…maybe something to drink, I guess?”

“You’ve got it. Maybe we could steal some of Jordans sodas,”

They suggested with a mischievous smile. Aaron snickered softly.

“Would they be cool with that?”

“They would. In all seriousness, he buys them for the house,”

They told him.

“Aight, sounds good then,”

Aaron smiled.

They both got out of bed, and Vinex slipped on one of their extravagant robes before they went to the kitchen together and each got a can of soda. Vinex opened their can, utilizing their spider abilities as to not harm their manicure, and raised it up.

“To Jefferson?”

They suggested. Aaron gave a little smirk and raised his can as well.

“To Jefferson.”

The couple clinked cans and took a sip.
