Oh wing'd heart, thou art now free!
Dusty books, old paintings, a ray of sunlight shining on the parquet. Finally, home.

20th April 2024
To Lord G.G. Byron,
who got me through CoviD and through one of the darkest periods of my life. To a complicated, messy and very human man, who taught my younger self to take more risks in relationships and in life's experiences, & who showed me that perfection is overrated. I really owe this guy a part of my personal growth in recent years. With his good (and bad) example, he is proof that humanity, with its thousands of worries and desires, truly trascends time and space.
B was in no way a paragon of virtue, he had very dark behaviours and opinions which I can't fully digest (nor do I think I ever will), but he sure did have a nice brain. He poured all his soul in his poems & letters, and he put down on paper some universal truths and feelings that we all feel and know but which we are often not able to express. Some of them are less universal, but still. Thank you B
Happy 200th Deathday! (+1)
🔥🔥🔥
P.s. I think if he could see the one-note rakish reputation he has nowadays, he'll be equally stoked and angry (depending on the day)

Thought I could go on a trip for the Bicentenary of Lord Byrons death. Currently on a 12h train ride down to Lake Geneva to read some poetry to the mountains 🫡

one thing abt hotd and the ridiculous teams shit in the fandom is vaemond + beesbury’s deaths (vicious ill-advised silencing of a basically-right critic of the queen by their attack dog) and to a lesser extent rhea + joffrey’s deaths (sympathetic character is shockingly killed either publicly or extremely obviously and the murderer doesn’t face any repercussions) are imo meant to be extremely obvious parallels between team black and team green to make you go ohh one ep apart from each other daemon cut the head of a guy criticising rhaenyra in half and criston smashed the head in of a guy criticising alicent maybe these guys and their teams are similar in some way maybe theres a theme about male violence and interchangeability of sides in here. but nobodyy ever does bc ppl acknowledge one to condemn the other team and ignore the other its fucking stupid

I'd like to suggest also a (young) Aaron Taylor-Johnson ✨
He had the poetic looks:
And has also the acting range (in order): silly, despicable, completely apeshite, fuming, existential dread, romantic ennui & really s a d
Although he needs to work more on queerness & goofyness, I'll give you that.
So still not a PERFECT fancast imo.
Mayhaps for a slightly older Byron?
(I might add that my favourite Byron version is the Haunted Summer one, so make of that what you will)
who's your perfect byron fancast? mine is 2010ish Joseph Mazzello but only from certain angles lol
The thing about a Byron fancast looks-wise is that he has to be played by someone who has that distinctive old-timey British/Scottish look and he has to be really attractive in looks and demeanor (or otherwise his prodigious romantic life doesn't make any sense) -- AND he has to be capable of pulling off the levels of sass, sarcasm, queerness, depravity, yet also sentimentality, humor, and authenticity that Byron is known for. IMO Hugh Grant was perfect to play young Byron - and he did - in Rowing with the Wind (1988). For the most part, acting-wise, he did an excellent job capturing that era of Byron's life with what material he was given. But the movie was a flop due to being low budget and not having the most adept creators lol. I also don't think they utilized his looks or his range at all --I mean they gave him an 80s mullet at one point, which Byron of course never had. But oh what could have been...

Portrait of a Man, 1840s.
British 19th Century salted paper print (National Gallery of Art).
Mildly obsessed with this 1840s dork and his Me An Intellectual photography arrangement. He poses with a book and a classical sculpture, but he's still squinting in the sunlight and looking nothing like the Romantic portrait he's probably imagining in his mind.
