An ambitious art student haunted by a cursed island searches for answers in the sapphic cult that worships it. But the high priestess offers something even more life-changing than a way to banish the island — a way to sail there together. 🏝️

one of my favorite historical figures from the period 💖 including the full le Brun portrait here (I believe Olympe is actually the center figure in pink) because everyone needs to see the rendering on that blue taffeta dress. So iridescent!

Just discovered the Titus cut in my book research?? Genderless haircut popular with Revolutionaries since the hair was chopped at the neck (also called "coiffure à la guillotine.")

I already have several characters with this look, but in general more short hair in historical fiction pls 🙏

took my first emergency megadose of vitamin d because my levels are apparently "extremely low" so looking forward to this being my reality now
"My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?"

An art deco painting of two women on a golden staircase. The woman on the left has white skin and is wearing an ankle-length strapless ballgown made of magenta, river blue, grape purple, and white clouds. A rising golden sun is embroidered on the skirt's bottom hem. The woman on the right has light blue skin and is wearing a sheer baby blue veil embellished with clouds over a turquoise column dress with a motif of two figures in Grecian dress kissing around the waistline. She wears a large headdress of a full moon and silver star earrings. Two figures with medium skintones are connected by a large blonde-and-black braid attached to both their heads. They wear large ruffled cuffs, pink on left and blue on right, and a ruffled pencil with a giant lavender bow in the center. Two figures wearing draping, decorative silver chains and long trains of polka dot silk embrace in front of a large stone statue of a crossed, grinning figure with emerald gemstone eyes. In the foreground, a silhouetted person in a sheer caftan and stilt-shoes of beaded filigree applauds them. A light-skinned woman wears a draped column dress with a high collar, and heavily brocaded sleeves trimmed with fur that drape across the floor.

Two commedia dell'arte characters walking down a country lane. The pierrot wears a baggy white costume with a lute over their shoulder and is being teased by the harlequin (arlecchino) who wears a diamond-patchwork suit with white ruff and black bicorne hat.

THE FAMILIAR x LES(bian) MIS

1793. An ambitious art student haunted by a cursed island searches for answers in an unholy secret society, but the cult's high priestess offers something even more precious.

Across the ocean, a hungry new world smells blood in the water.

#BluePit 📖 #W #A #F #HS #R
An illustration of two women in 18th-century outfits: one in a golden dress with pale skin, short red hair, and round glasses, and the other in a mint suit with long white hair, light brown skin, and silver rings on every finger. They are in the middle of a ballroom dance, their interlocked hands holding a glowing pink pearl. Behind the figures is an ornate floral frame showing a glittering waterfall with the title "THE ANANDRYNES" written inside. The background is a painting of a valley at sunrise. Six book and movie covers sitting in gold rectangular picture frames. They are: "The Familiar" by Leigh Bardugo, "The Once and Future Witches" by Alix E. Harrow, "Scarlet" by Genevieve Cogman, the Les Miserables musical poster, "Bunny" by Mona Awad, and the "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" movie poster. A photograph of grey and pink clouds overlaid with a collage of photos: two women sitting on a small island surrounded by Greek statues, Enjolras from the musical Les Miserables waving a red flag, a disembodied hand holding out a lace handkerchief, a pale girl wearing a blindfold made of pearls, two women embracing in the middle of a fencing match, a painting of a crying eye framed with pearls, and in the center, a drawing of a woman pouring glittering water from a conch shell into the sea. Parchment banners on the top and bottom read "No freedom for some // If not freedom for all," and pearls and fireworks are scattered throughout the collage.
