The art is gorgeous! I love the hair especially. But psst, the HTML is borked?

[radiantfracture]

Lol I *knew* someone was going to catch that -- is it better now? (And thank you!)

[yhlee]

Yes, it's better now! And seriously, I don't know the source but what a gorgeous portrait - all those beautifully rendered shadows and textures. :D

[radiantfracture]

Phew it's good you were here (added photographer's name)

[sabotabby]

Ahhh, that is perfect!

I take it you are also obsessed?

[radiantfracture]

Oh and I think you would like Our Flag Means Death Quite a Bit

[yhlee]

Tell me what you like about it and I will see if I can find it on something I'm subscribed to! :D

[kindkit]

That's beautiful!

(Also, such a great show. I just watched it yesterday--I binged the whole thing in one day. It's the first show I've actually managed to watch since COVID.)

[radiantfracture]

OMG we have to apply Muñoz to this show

[sabotabby]

Fuck yes we do.

[radiantfracture]

I take it you are also obsessed?

I had a strong reaction you might say

[sabotabby]

It's A Lot of emotions

[radiantfracture]

I was pretty delighted with it.

Tuesday I'm gonna post about OFMD and Munoz so jump in on that wildly exciting chat you know if you want...

YESSSSS I watched this show in two days with a friend and we’ve been enthusing about it ever since. Jim! The whole “historical character dressing in a man’s clothes to do a man’s job” trope, which I already enjoy, but then they turned out to be a nonbinary person, just casually! I’m still so pleasantly surprised by how good this show was!

And this is excellent art, of course. Very good lighting.
