Didn't Know It Was Allowed To Do That... Crazy

some of my favourite dps shots...

(refraining from making a "shot" joke...)

they're all so beautiful 😭😭

there's so many more but I'll leave it there - feel free to reblog with your favs!!!

who do you think, in your canon, did Richard dedicate his first novel to? Would he pay respects to Henry? Do something morbid like dedicating it to Bunny? Acknowledge Francis’s role in it? ( the last one is funny to me because I feel like Francis would both hate it and feel secretly flattered). 

Does Francis enjoy Oscar Wilde? ( Does Richard? ) 

How do you think Richard feels about Darśan? Whenever I think about about how in Hindu tradition, what sanctified the worship is no prayer, chant, etc, but the simple act of seeing, I can’t help but think about Richard and his whole thing about being an “observer” and putting certain people on a pedestal. 

richard definitely is a dedicace guy, i think he probs would have gone for a henry shout-out but in an inside-reference way. like henry's favorite homeric phrase or something. don't think bunny is getting any such honors, nor julian post everything that went down. i think camilla maybe gets first entry in the acknowledgments, but again probably not named, something like 'to the girl who danced with me to berlioz in the early hours of the day' or some richard-ism. francis definitely does NOT get a credit in book 1 if we're going with my fic as canon, things are too weird/new with them then. but he probably peppers in stuff per francis' advice (and that opening quote he found for him) which francis would recognise immediately going through it anyway.

oscar wilde seems so obviously francis-coded i wonder if he counterintuitively finds him overrated or something. but he LOVES a quip, so maybe not. maybe he has a hot take like his witticisms were better than his literary output. i think richard enjoys wilde the same way he enjoys francis, slightly guiltily.

i don't think richard would have any idea of what darśan is unless maybe henry (who likes world religion / tradition as a point of interest) is aware of it. but i think that regard/observation as worship is certainly an aspect of his psyche. like him and francis talk about when francis reads his draft, the way you see things and the way you record that vision to yourself is in itself subjective/transformative/reflective of you.

Never underestimate the intuition of a writer. Or, I should say, never underestimate the intuition of a lascivious man.

Life is short. Drink another coffee. Read another book. Listen to your favourite song again. Hug your mom. Laugh. Cry. Dance in the rain. Push your friend off a cliff because of a milkshake.
