TIME TRAVELLER'S WIFE x THE LOST APOTHECARY

When a gay Regency aristocrat arrives in the present day, he meets a historian determined to uncover his secret past. He returns to 1811 with a choice: marry the woman history remembers or defy everything for the man he loves.

A moodboard featuring images of Regency gentleman, a modern day young woman, as well as close ups of an old door, quill and paper, and a dust sheeted piano. The vibe is moody and poignant, with a dark and dusty colour palette.

Fearing persecution, a warrior keeps her magic secret, but risking exposure to steal a relic - she’s betrayed & imprisoned. A superstitious northman might help her escape but if they don’t trust each other – a vengeful witch will seize power & destroy the world.

Gif of Lego figures: 1. jealousy caused this guy to shoot at me ( blond Lego guy pointing gun at identical Lego guy holding a cup of coffee) 2. Now I’m dead and standing by, while my best friend wants to die (sad ghost in front of a guy who is drinking, who is on the other side of a door from a black woman and an adorable cat) 3. but my love risks infamy, in her lab rebuilding me ( the woman is holding an arm on a ray, behind a bed where the disassembled blond man is lying) 4. I know I’ll open up those eyes‚ cause I’m Mr Brightside (the blond man is now fully assembled on the bed, he smiles up at the woman who smiles back)

The sun is shining. Leaves quiver in the warm breeze. A butterfly floats past, in the ephemeral prime of its short life. Perfect time for some grimdark fiction.

It’s a sunny spot in a cloudy day (not literally, I faceplanted while running and am now covered in scrapes 😩)
Anyway, onwards to better things…
