I haven’t done a WIP Wednesday in a while, but here goes — a snippet of the Beauty&the Beast inspired #rwrbfic I’m muddling through at the moment.
Do I feel ways about making Alex the beast in the equation? Yes.
Do I have plans to make it satisfying? Also yes.
I have other plans for Henry. Soon.

The only solution to a day like today is a hot shower, flautas, and coloring…

I just updated ch. 2 of Let This Cup Pass with three more scenes (because brain did a bad job). So apologies for the non-update update, but enjoy a sneak peek here :)

Sort of struggling with how very literal the prompts are this year, and the fact that I basically did accessories yesterday…
So, shots of me with my favorite accessory: my 1880s Anglo-Afghan Cane Sword.

(Are y’all sick of me yet?)
I’m a detail orient person even if my costumes end up less totally tricked out than the originals they’re based on. My favorite details are always my accessories and the fabrics — things that feel extra extra special :)
