Dark(e) AU

Okay, so in Fyre we are introduced to the characters of Edmund and Ernold Heap, a pair of identical twins who are Silas' brothers. The most important thing about them, from a plot perspective, is that they are identical twins; because they are twins the Ring Wizards are able to Consume them, because they are identical it takes them longer to be Consumed. This gets me to thinking, what if, instead of introducing two new characters at the last minute, Angie Sage had placed the identical Heap twins we are familiar with, Ed and Eric, in the same situation. It would have been a heck of a lot darker, having characters we've known for seven books forced to fight their family and play the the villains, and probably a lot more traumatic for Simon, Sep, and Jenna, confronting the brothers they've known for years rather than the Uncles they've just met. I also wonder if this might have been Angie Sage's original intention, she seems to go out of her way to get the Forest Heaps back into the Castle, and even has Silas suggest they train as Wizards. Everything is set up for Ed and Eric to be at the Wizard Tower, on Seal Watch, ready to be consumed, but instead these unknown Heap Uncles appear at the last minute. Not to mention the fact that Ed and Eric, and Edmund and Ernold have similar names, both starting with 'Ed' and 'Er' respectively, the sort of similar names that might easily have been changed quickly using the 'Replace' tool on a Word document. Maybe she wanted it to be Ed and Eric, but the publishers asked her to tone it down, to avoid traumatising her mostly child audience.

Got so mad seeing a forced marriage plot for the 20th time that I got up to draw a design specifically to put a veil on him

#onlyinGotham You can hear your new neighbor's phone ring "Toss a coin to your Witcher" and hear him respond with a cheery "Hello, my precious two-faced friend. What do you want from Gotham's greatest genius?", and find out not only that your new neighbor is The Riddler, but also that he chose that song for Two-Face

originally for my thesis i was gonna like, focus on each aspect of the prague astronomical clock like its history, its function, and its design separately - but even other than this scope was way too big for me, the design IS the function. like, obviously, It's A Clock........ but! the reason the face plate has multiple colors is because they represent the time of day. the blue field is day, the orange is dawn and dusk, and the black circle is night. the placement of the sun symbol indicates the placement in the day cycle. I Know I Know It's A Clock Of Course It Does That but it's different to how we're used to reading clocks in this day and age.

anyway it reminded me of first year of watchmaker school, when we were learning to blue steel, a process that gives steel a specific material quality and also turns it blue. you might see high end watched that have blue hands and blue screws, for example, and it's not Just for the aesthetic, it's a sign of quality, but it has BECOME a preferred aesthetic BECAUSE of the quality. my teacher asked me if i, as a former art history student, knew whether it was common for something to Become Beautiful because it was a Desired Quality. i didn't have a good answer at the time but i have clearly not stopped thinking about it. i think it's a kind of survivorship bias - something can be the most aesthetically pleasing and beautiful but it won't really matter if it crumbles to dust within a couple years and there's no way for future generations to appreciate it. it doesn't make it less beautiful, only that we have no clue it ever existed. so in that sense, the beauty of functionality persists
