Me [falling Off The Stairs In Public]: Performance Art 

Reblog if youd be totally fine with someone you dont know tagging you in a tag game

I had a sweet Nonny the other day asking how to get started, and honestly posts like this are a great way. I know games go kinda fallow during school and events like NaNo, but we can get this one circulating and building up a list of folks to tag when were ready to get back to it :)

Vane probably takes it a bit too far. He doesn’t dress up too much, just a long coat and a hat that paints a nice shadow over his face. He brings a real knife, though, because ‘everyone can see it when they are plastic, and nobody’s gonna be scared of that‘. Jack would appear as a clever pun or something generally witty. He’d, maybe, wear a neat suit, with clean white cuffs, a tie and a suitcase full of paperwork. We are all scared of mediocrity, aren’t we? He ends up having to explain his costume for the entire evening. Anne would do something classic. She comes as a witch, looking a little more elegant in a dress than any of them had expected (including herself). She threatens to bewitch people that get too close, and with her glower, nobody takes the risk.

So in a modern Black Sails au what would our favorite pirates and friends dress up as?

To a lady and a knight, by @ladyliliana. I hope this does Ula and Lorne justice. I believe it’s going to be a wonderful story! Requests for OC aesthetics are open.

You don't want to see me suffer (it's not entertaining).

what is the best/worst book you've ever read?

My childhood love are the books by Tonke Dragt. She has created the strangest, most fascinating universes, always slightly unsettling but at the same time inviting, and wholly unique.

One book that will always have a special place in my heart is The Bookthief, by Markus Zusak, because that is the book that showed me I didn't have to be ashamed of my love for stories.

More recently, I was very impressed by Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami. It's a crazy, almost absurd, book, but I was immediatly caught in this confusing, magical world of his.

I also am a fan of Donna Tartt, who's meandering works have never failed to give me wonderful images and inspiration and insights.

H. Lawrence, The Plumbed Serpent // Jennifer S. Cheng, "So We Must Meet Apart" // Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart // Alice Oseman, Radio Silence // Franz Kafka, Letters to Felice

A moodboard for the sweet Vica, by @lenkalost. I hope this looks a bit like her!

Here is an aesthetic for Noah, composer and murder suspect, by @thewriterandthestoryteller. I hope you like it!
