The absolute randomness of the chapters between Death T and the introduction of Bakura are just wild.

One of my least favourite modern fancies when producing period dramas is to put the villain in an historically accurate wig but leave the protagonist unwigged because it looks better to modern audiences

“I do not minimise the services of modern poets in exploiting the possibilities of rhymeless verse. They prove the strength of a Movement, the utility of a Theory. What neither Blake nor Arnold could do alone is being done in our time. ‘Blank verse’ is the only accepted rhymeless verse in English – the inevitable iambic pentameter. The English ear is (or was) more sensitive to the music of the verse and less dependent upon the recurrence of identical sounds in this metre than in any other. There is no campaign against rhyme. But it is possible that excessive devotion to rhyme has thickened the modern ear. The rejection of rhyme is not a leap at facility; on the contrary, it imposes a much severer strain upon the language. When the comforting echo of rhyme is removed, success or failure in the choice of words, in the sentence structure, in the order, is at once more apparent. Rhyme removed, the poet is at once held up to the standards of prose. Rhyme removed, much ethereal music leaps up from the word, music which has hitherto chirped unnoticed in the expanse of prose. Any rhyme forbidden, many Shagpats were unwigged.

And this liberation from rhyme might be as well a liberation of rhyme. Freed from its exacting task of supporting lame verse, it could be applied with greater effect where it is most needed. There are often passages in an unrhymed poem where rhyme is wanted for some special effect, for a sudden tightening-up, for a cumulative insistence, or for an abrupt change of mood. But formal rhymed verse will certainly not lose its place. We only need the coming of a Satirist – no man of genius is rarer – to prove that the heroic couplet has lost none of its edge since Dryden and Pope laid it down. As for the sonnet I am not so sure. But the decay of intricate formal patterns has nothing to do with the advent of vers libre. It had set in long before. Only in a closely-knit and homogenous society, where many men are at work on the same problems, such a society as those which produced the Greek chorus, the Elizabethan lyric, and the Troubadour canzone, will the development of such forms ever be carried to perfection. And as for vers libre, we conclude that it is not defined by absence of pattern or absence of rhyme, for other verse is without these; that it is not defined by non-existence of metre, since even the worst verse can be scanned; and we conclude that the division between Conservative Verse and vers libre does not exist, for there is only good verse, bad verse, and chaos.”

T.S. Eliot, from 'Reflections on Vers libre' (New Statesman, March 3, 1917)

The heads actually stayed on! I replaced the zipties and here they are:

Greta and a still-unwigged Bart, together and ready to be costumed someday.

And here are the recently wigged OCs.

Rachel (Audrey face mold)

Delclis (Ariel face mold)

Elystan (Allison face mold)

Amarantha (Caitie face mold)

Tamett (Wendi face mold)

Josiah (Danielle face mold)

Ayra (also the Danielle face mold)

Some of them still need a little stain removal or eyelash repair/replacement, but they are starting to look like themselves!

Queen Charlotte

I ended up watching Queen Charlotte before our Netflix shut off.  (Squirrel does our steaming services and had to cut ours for gas money to get to work.  With Bridgeton, I generally pretend it is all a fantasy AU.  

I still occasionally have trouble swallowing things like why Lady Featherington is the only one dressed in a 1950's bodice.  The costumes are not historical, which I am mostly fine with because it mostly looks like on purpose design choices, but it's just very sore thumb and hard to shut my fashion history brain off for.  I apparently have the same problem with King George III's hair.  There are men with wigs or longer hair styled in one of the period fashions in a lot of larger scenes.  Having one character with a random modern short hair cut stands out.  If he was wearing a wig in public, but took it off in private, or had it cut when he was particularly ill, I would have just accepted it.  having him be the only guy with short unpowdered unwigged hair at big formal events made it stand out more.  I suspect I'm extra sensitive to it, because a lot of period dramas and things like that amazon Lord of the Rings chose short hair when it doesn't fit or cut the long hair of established characters to make them look more modern.  Also, I just like long hair on men.  So sue me.

I have a whole lot of feelings about the actual plot.  I think the choice to go with autistic and schizophrenia was a really interesting one.  I think that they treated him sympathetically and it was really nice to see a character who has psychosis being loved like that.  I like that love doesn't magically cure mental illness, but it does make things better for the person experiencing it.

At the same time, my historian brain would start screaming and I'd have to remind it that this is fantasy and not history and it doesn't matter in a fantasy AU if they move things around by decades or dramatically change them.  (I am better at keeping historian brain quieter for The Great as it's a farce and about as ahistorical as Black Adder series two.  It's easier for me to accept nonsense history in a comedy than in a romance, if that make sense).

I suspect this is a me problem, and despite historian Brain not shutting up, I think this ended up being the most powerful and effective story in the Bridgeton series so far.

unyieldingvalxr asked : 🌹 (Mena making Hewlett blush)

Misc action memes. / @unyieldingvalxr​ -- accepting

🌹 - for my muse to blush

       ❝ Philomena, ❞ came Edmund’s swift reply after he took a sip from his Madeira,  his voice soft enough to not crack at her feelings but stern enough to draw her attention. Usually, Hewlett did not drink when in his office, but he felt an inclination during this meeting with Philomena, pouring her a glass as well out of politeness. No, he didn’t hate Philomena, he pited her really, to feel a reason to use such unbecoming methods, but that pity couldn’t douse his annoyance with how much she sidetracked from the main course of the conversation. He wasn’t here to play into her silly games. She passed the threshold of his office door, he was going to discuss work matters.

       The blush wasn’t easily discarded and he attempted to talk without stuttering, pressing his tongue to the back of his front teeth to stop himself before speaking further. ❝ Your intelligence. You mentioned acquiring a letter. May I see it? ❞

Can I just vent to you about Eloise's outfits? I think she's got the worst of them out of the entire cast. They're really bad imho, and don't seem match her personality at all. And you can't even say Violet's making her wear them because her style is so unlike her other sister's. I think I heard someone say that they had Eloise in more masculine clothes like waistcoats and unwigged hair, but I definitely don't see it, considering the amount of pastels, frills, sheer fabric and adornments/accessories her clothing and hair has (plus waistcoats aren't masculine, most women wore them during the Regency period). Combined with the fact she wears her hair down a lot even though she's supposed to be out in society now, it just comes across as very unflattering and girlish. I feel if they wanted a more masculine appearance for her, they would have had given her a much more simple look with darker fabrics and no extra accessories, while wearing a simple updo that's the same everyday. Hell, even let her experiment with different men's jackets, collars or hats. (sorry I'm just a big fashion fan so I'm way too invested in this haha)

No I get it. I think her clothes are meant to not be as flattering. Eloise is someone who doesn't want to be dressed up and look presentable, but Violet wants her to be. Back in the regency era, mothers dictated their daughter's wardrobes, so I think it is signifying that. Her hair down is how she rebels in a way, I guess??

I would like to see her in a hat like Lady Danbury's though!
