Like, imagine Juliet and Melibea talking.

Juliet is "We have so much in common! My Romeo died, out of love as he believed I was dead as well. And so did I when I discovered it" and Melibea, who also died because of grief and love, be like How do I explain that Calisto died because he fall from the stairs? How can I make that romantic?

(To make this clear, taking your life bc someone you love died isn't romantic irl.)

Sebastian & Celestina | Year 7

The rocky events of 5th year were not a great foundation for Sebastian and Celestina.

She followed and helped him because he was her very first friend, she admired his determination to cure Anne, his pursuit of knowledge, and yes, he made her feel butterflies—like he needed her.

And for a girl that spent 15 years of her life without friends or crushes, Celestina was smitten, even when her gut told her he was going down too dark of a path.

When she finally did listen to her gut—she also listened to Ominis and Anne. And together they made the decision to report Sebastian, ultimately sending him to Azkaban.

Sebastian would come to fester resentment and malice towards Celestina once she makes it to sixth year—and they do not speak.

By the time she is in their 7th year, something changes in Sebastian—and he comes to realize that he’s buried feelings for Celestina the whole time. But when he tries to confess and reconnect with her, she had already moved on.

. . .

That’s the gist of it anyway. Lots more nuanced and complicated events happen in between—but nothing is ever simple when it came to Sebastian. Sorry, my boy.

They were each other’s wrong time, wrong person.

Timelapse & more art inspo below✨👇🏼

Many of you may notice that this drawing is based on Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.”

While I’ve long been familiar with the painting and its fame, what had always eluded me was how people saw it as a romantic painting.

I know there is already a lot of discussion around it, but the way it’s always come across to me was that the man was trying to show affection for the woman, but the woman has turned her face away—not because she was offering his cheek, but because she’s disconnected from the man. She does not feel the same affection for him as he does for her.

And while we do not see the face of the man, to me his face would be sorrowful. He knows she does not feel the same but tries to dominate over her to project his feelings.

Two more things: 1) the woman in the original is kneeling—to me signifies that she’s always had the ability to tower over the man but simply doesn’t, she keeps her restraint and 2) they are standing close to an edge, a cliff. Perhaps a symbol that their relationship was never going to go anywhere.

For all those things, I felt this was a perfect inspiration for Sebastian & Celestina. And for their background I wanted there to be a mix of blues and golds. One of them wants to gild over their past with gold and shine, but the reality is that the atmosphere between them has become glum and desaturated.

I need a version of Saltburn in which Farleigh helps Oliver to get with Felix cause he's been waiting too damn long for Felix to accept that he's queer.

Like, he doesn't really care about Oliver, they're not friends or anything. He just knows that Oliver is in lesbians with Felix and Felix is intrested but too deep in comp-het to do anything about it.

Imagine, the possibilities.

𝓘𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓶𝔂’𝓼 𝓮𝓶𝓫𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓮 ( KING BALDWIN IV X Y/N FANFIC)

The king of Jerusalem , ruthless in his glory…never thought his heart once hardened by agony , forged from the strongest of metals in times of war and crime would soften at the sight before his eyes. A small house , he wasn’t even sure if it qualified as one…destroyed and shattered…burnt into flames…a figure suffocating inside , he could practically hear the muffled moans of pain and anguish. "Why must I care ? Isn’t this what I wanted…" he thought to himself but no…it wasn’t. He hadn’t ordered the raid to be this way. It wasn’t his doing. That daum foul , Guy de lusignan, gave extreme orders…they were villagers , they were nothing but villagers. The muffled screams haunted him.

"Daum it…" he muttered under his breath

"My lord…where are you going ?"

"Wherever you are not. Wait for me , I must do something" Baldwin unmounted his horse with a swift movement. Adrenaline overshadowing his leprosy. He stood before the cottage looking at the flames eat it with such insatiable hunger. "Hell , is within." He thought. He kicked the door open and looked at the source of the muffled sound…gladly , she was just by the door , unconscious , her body frail and weak under the hellish flames , he carried her over his shoulder…back to his horse.

"This woman needs urgent medical care , fetch for the physician , QUICK !" He ordered , his voice authoritative , commanding…yet dripping with fear. He didn’t know why he did that. Why he risked the fire but…god knows , he thought it all worth it. His men all had dumbfounded expressions on their faces as the physician rushed to the king "my lord…are you hurt ?"

"Not me. If she dies , consider yourself dead. Heal her." Baldwin expressed , his tone cold and threatening yet his gaze fearful…very fearful. Baldwin knows guilt , it lives within him like a crippling monster , a soul sucking entity…a parasite , or perhaps apart of his soul. He knew he had killed…hundreds. His hands were stained with blood but this isn’t the blood he wanted on his hands. Knight code comes before all and knights don’t harm women , children or elderly…but he did…now he did , and this will haunt him forever.

"A word." He said to Guy with a threatening gaze.

Guy approached , a smug look on his face like usual , walking with pride. "My lord." He bowed his head.

Baldwin’s blue gaze pierced Guy’s fragile , narcissistic soul. "Who died and made you king ?" Baldwin asked.

"Oh…God forbid my lord , long live the king of course."

"Really ? If so…why did I carry an innocent maiden on my shoulder from the fire of her small home. I do not recall giving such orders."

"Well , my lord" Guy chuckled nervously searching for a lie to justify his bloodshed , "those villagers…they were hostile…like all saracens are ! I ordered knights to only harm those who harm them. If she’s harmed , she is no innocent maiden."

"If your men were truly harmed by a woman small enough to be carried on the shoulder of a leper , perhaps they’re more fit for a harem than they are for a crusade."

The physician tended to the girl’s wounds and she woke up coughing , tears in her eyes , she looked at the king with a look of disdain -at the very least- her eyes filled with fury…behind them a hint of sadness…

"You woke up…"

She didn’t reply

"Are you alright ?"

She didn’t reply

Baldwin has had enough. He stood in front of her and with the end of his sword lifted up her chin to look at him. “You speak when spoken to." His tone shifted to something more affectionate , warmer…"are you alright ?"

"Take a good guess , your grace” she said , her voice quivering as anger lingered onto every letter she uttered looking at her destroyed home.

"I’ll have your home repaired. I didn’t order this. My knights acted outside of their orders and they will be punished , I swear it."

"Your gold won’t bring back mother’s dresses…or father’s books." She managed to spit out as grief , anger , melancholy consumed her soul , making speech a chore , making looking up at him a harder one. She saw nothing but a monster , an anomaly.

"Did you lose anyone in the fire ?" The king said , surprisingly cold.

"No…" she said as she looked away.

"Then you lost nothing. All can be repaired." He said , his tone cold , his gaze colder , yet his words…there was comfort within them.

She stood up bravely , in all of her reckless ferocity to fight him , to cry , to storm only to feel her head lighten…her sight blur..she collapsed , only to be caught by the king’s good hand before she fell down. He caught her swiftly and then lowered her down. For a moment , he felt a sticky warm substance from her hair. "It can’t be.." he removed his hand to see it stained with blood…the blood of the innocent…on his hands , not symbolically this time , it wasn’t a figure of speech…it was his reality. It was as real as his illness and the savagery of his knights. A scary relevation indeed…one he could not grasp. "Dieu…seigneur…BACK TO JERUSALEM !" He yelled out to his knights as he blopped her in front of him on the horse , praying to his God and hers that she wakes up.

Celestina

Veo cómo te mira, la observo cuando estás ocupada y te hundes en la fila de archivos que llenar.

Se como te mira, hace mucho tiempo también te miraba de esa forma, le brillan los ojos Celestina, sonríe cuando arrugas la frente, le gusta tu cabello ondulado, se ríe cuando lanzas chistes de humor negro, te busca entre la gente, Celestina está enamorada de ti, lo noto… quiere robarme.

Y se le rompe el corazón cuando coqueteas con otra persona, con alguien que no es ella, ni yo, sabe de nuestra relación Celestina, sabe que estas con alguien... pero no puedo encontrar los ojos de quien tiene tu corazón en sus manos, soy inocente, tampoco lo tengo, pero te tengo a ti Celestina, no quiero perderte, no permito que me roben.

Veo como te mira, las pupilas se le dilatan, la boca se le seca, las manos le tiemblan y le traspiran, se amarra el cabello cuando te ve porque el roce en su nuca la pone más nerviosa, ¡Y cuando te abraza! me hierve los celos, la quiero matar Celestina y me conformo con esperar a que llegues a nuestro departamento, para tener algo que ella nunca tendrá, tu.

alone. again.

After a very eventful summer after fifth year, Celestina finds herself back where she began in her journey: alone in the library with nary a friend.

Sebastian and Ominis are keeping their distance (plot reasons) and the novelties of their adventures from the year previous have brought Natty and Poppy back to their usual classmate dynamics in class.

As she has done her whole life, Celestina turns to the company of books. Familiar. Safe. Unable to hurt her.
