@rwrbmovie & @rwrbsource’s rwrbweek: Day 5 | Fashion ↳ Henry in Casual Clothes

imo every water metaphor people throw at faulkner gets better when you remember he can't swim. “stories are currents, and he plunges headlong into those rushing waters, time and time again" yeah and he can't swim. he's drowning in the narrative he's making for himself. "speak now of the man you will leave behind, the man you have been... drown him in the river’s depths" yeah he's been trying to. he kinda always is, a little bit, just by virtue of being there.

it just speaks to such a fundamental incompatibility in my eyes. he's still scared - he ran out of the hotel when he sainted the hotelier in season one and he runs away from the angel he summons in s3e6. it seems like he can only partake in violence through abstraction - it's just water and symbols until someone's dead or changed in front of him, and then it's real. the withermark is a holy triumph until he counts the houses and the people inside, and then it's something no one should ever have. sacrifice is foundational to all faith in this universe. this isn't something he can avoid, even if the upcoming schism lets him steer his part of the faith where he wants.

(and, to tangent, someone telling him that they finally killed her in some distant town isn't real because he didn't see her face when she hit the soil. if that happens then she's just someone who's not there anymore and he can keep on missing her like he's been doing. i am convinced this is why he gave the shoot on sight order.)

it’s mentioned that he's left alone in his room at the gulch for hours at a time, just like when his father would neglect him and his brothers and leave them to their own devices. he wants a real and genuine love like family, but instead gets worship and idolatry from one hand and schemes to kill him from the other. he keeps climbing the ranks, distancing himself from the potential of gaining the closeness he craves, all in the hope of getting closer to the god he's losing faith in. he's crawling towards the river and he can't swim.

he is trying to love something that wants to drag him under. even if there wasn't a god in the river, the water would greedily swallow him anyway. river currents do not care about your love. he is putting the sunk in sunk cost fallacy. he’s participating in reverse self-immolation. he is drowning in deep water and has only just learned how to keep his eyes open without goggles. he needs to reach the surface but he still can't fucking swim. he is going to die thrashing in the river he loves so much, trying to get out once he realized it wasn't ever going to love him back the way he wanted.

and if he can’t learn how to swim in time, he’s going to need the help of someone who can to pull him out.

First quilt is done! Not a single straight line <3

character sheets for this fic (1/2)

I'm making a note about medici, because I tried to watch it but found it so dull I could hardly get through the first season. Can you reccomend any historical shows or films that do pass the vibe check?

off the top of my head, some personal favorites are: season one of Kingdom (킹덤) 2019 (period horror set in the Joseon era)

Barbarians (Barbaren) 2020 (arminius, baby!)

Heneral Luna & Goyo (philippine revolution)

Showtime’s The Borgias (all time favorite forever)

Wolf Hall (2015) (an adaption of Hilary Mantel’s novels)

wait guys… what if jacob and gregory become roommates??

maybe even just temporarily while jacob is looking for a place but maybeeee?

Concept dump! Read more to have actual context lol

Still just fucking around and finding what works so these are all considered drafts

I’ve decided to fiddle around with the ages of the characters so some of them might be a year younger (the eah cast being sohphmores so some are freshmen)

Darling and Dexter never vibed as twins (might be my bias but they gave me middle child and youngest closeness)

So sprinkle in more sibling angst I made Daring and Dexter twins instead (darling being a freshman)

Dexter I don’t like on my rewatch (he’s okay but he doesnt do anything for me as a character) so I spruced up his design and gave him a lip piercing(?) idk it felt right to me

Next page is me fiddling with the og designs and I really liked the idea of everyone from wonderland having more formal clothing even in casual situations

Which led to the latest sketch of kitty getting a design overhaul ( again I just didn’t vibe with her og one)

The mask idea was actually from my best friend. So all credit to them cause its actually really cool

The masks essentially act as their smiles do in eah: putting it on enables them to travel in between and teleport (the rounded on is kitty’s,the angular one is her mom’s) really the whole design could be credited to them lol

Wanted to add more diverse body types, Lizzie already has genetic factor of her mom being more chubby plus it’s cute for her personality to be so aggressive but her body type is so round

Bunny blanc I actually did not like even in my first watch of eah as a child

So overhaul of her design which led to me giving her a suit cause I think she’d look cool in one

The mask is to continue the theme of animal type characters from wonderland / her body type is supposed to be the human equivalent of a hare/rabbit mixing cause my friend thought it’d be funny to make the hare/rabbit gay and have kids

I’m not questioning their logic cause it made actually like bunny blanc lol

wip wednesday

i started the heart attack fic for bthb, but i'm gonna keep that to myself until it's finished and posted because i’m very insecure lmao, so have a little bit of eddie vs the hoa

“You sound jealous.”  Eddie balks, insulted at the mere suggestion that he’s jealous of somebody as contemptuous as Abbie Jean Gentry. “I am not!” He snorts. “I have never in my thirty-two years of life—count ‘em, thirty-two—I have been shot and stuck beneath the ground and lost my wife and been to war, but I have never, ever been jealous of anybody, and especially not motherfucking—” “Could’ve fooled me,” Buck interrupts, elbowing him in the side and motioning with his head at the woman walking up to their stall. “Hi, Mrs. Gentry.”  Abbie Jean Gentry is a beautiful, chubby woman with long, curling black hair and big, light green eyes. Her voice is deep and her laugh is infectious and she pulls off heels just as well as sneakers; she commands any room she walks into and makes sure to shake the hands of every person she meets and does her best to help solve whatever problem she’s faced with.  She’s not a bad person.  Eddie can’t stand her.  “Hi, Buck.” She smiles, all straight white teeth, and Eddie remembers the two years he wore braces with disdain. His sisters were ruthless when they made fun of him. “How are you?”  “Enjoying all these sweet treats,” Buck says, laughing, and hands the last sugar cookie off to one of the little kids that were following Chris around earlier. “Looks like the sale’s going well.”  She nods, appraising the fish bowl full of paper bills and coins at the edge of their table. It’s not as full as hers—she’s probably so proud. “It’s going even better than I expected,” she agrees, judging their clutter of cupcakes and broken cookies. “Did you make these yourself, Buck?”  “Huh? Oh, no.” Buck grins, hooking his thumb toward Eddie. “Eddie helped.”  Abbie Jean Gentry blinks, feigning surprise. “Oh, Mr. Diaz.” She smiles, close-mouthed and thin. “I didn’t see you there.”  Funny. Eddie’s standing right next to Buck, near enough their shoulders are touching. One can’t notice and speak with Buck without noticing the other.  Eddie curls his lip up. “I’m sure you didn’t.”  Buck elbows Eddie again, hard enough to hurt this time. “You’ll have to excuse him,” he says, giving her his best grin and wow, his best friend is a suck up. “We stayed up late last night finishing the cookies and cupcakes, and he hasn’t had anything to eat today except sweets.” 

this fic accidentally turned into a whole thing so we’ll see where it goes
