ART POST: So I'm this thing called a...what's the word again...DORK!

[sweetprince]

poninepontmercy asked for the Boys in the Victorian Era. You know, tophats and the like. But my period is actually the Regency. DUDE, TIGHT TROUSERS! BOOTS! MR. DARCY! Seriously, what more could one ask for? So I er, fudged it a little. Kaley, don't kill me, they have collar points and weskets on! It's amazing.





So, actually, nothing was really that difficult in this piece. I'm kind of amazed. Ordinarily I'm bitching at the paper and the pencil and the figures on the page for a good ten minutes, but this one just flowed out. Yay, REGENCY PERIOD CLOTHING.

I really want to go and write this crazy story where Sam was found in a handbag in Brighton and John took him on as a ward and then he dies and Dean runs the estate and Sam goes off to Uni because he's in love with Dean and Dean keeps fending him, but Dean needs Sam's help so he sends for him to come home and their are lots of balls and eventually Dean gives into the force that is Sam and then their is fucking. And lots of polished Hessian boots. And Bella trying desperately to win Dean over when the London Season starts, and Dean being like "Good heavens, no! I have an adoptive brother who gives quite spectacular blow jobs! Why on earth would I trouble myself with you?"

So I kind want to put the eras in one big post on like...Wincest or something. Do any of you support this? Or shall I hide my crazy eratic (AHAHAHAH, VERY POOR PUN) art!

OSCAR WILDE-ESQUE WINCESTING IS TOTALLY SANCTIONED BY THIS XTINE AND VERY FOR THE WIN.

I have a serious weakness for those collars and ascot ties. *gyunh* One of the main reasons that I liked The Prestige so much (aside from awesome plot, Hugh Jackman, and Christian Bale) is how very PRETTY the clothing of that era makes EVERYBODY.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* LOVES THIS!

Well, The Prestige takes place almost forty years later, I'm going to estimate (give or take). Certainly in the reign of Queen Victoria. But yeah, the clothing was very pretty. I love Hugh Jackman's costume when he's climbing up the mountain, coat and hat and everything.

Anyway, I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOY IT! WOO HOO!

It's set in the 1890s, according to the novelization, so around the same time as The Importance of Being Ernest, non? That was the association I was making, given the handbag comment. (the LINE is immaterial!!)

(I can picture Sammy reading Ernest in highschool, and deciding that he must have been left in the Impala in a handbag, or the like. Then Dean would make up a story supporting that. Ersomethin)

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Yes, I made an Importance of Being Earnest reference, but the time period I'm referring to is around the time of Napolean.

Maybe you should right that story!

Ahhhhhhhh, gotcha. I was focusing on the literature aspect, since those are the periods with which I am most familiar. HOWEVER I would heartily support a Napoleonic-era fic as well. That's one of my favourite points in history, and DUDE. Dean in the green jacket of a rifleman? Sammy as a French colonel, with the pale royal blue jacket? (or anything, really, just picturing the boys in uniforms is fun. ^__^)

Well, if Dean's a first son he would have no reason to buy a commission, and the idea of Sam being in the army without Dean (or the mounted dragoons I fancy) just seems weird. But yes, boys in uniform are nice. But boys in weskets and tight trousers are also nice.

I have a tendency to run these little scenarios in my head, haha. Since I'm an avid fan of that era, and the Sharpe novels because of it, my mind was working something like this:::

Sam and Dean being separated as younguns, Dean ending up in England and Sammy in France. Dean, being poor and rough and tumble by nature, ends up being arrested for some minor crime and is given the choice between the hangman's noose or the army. He chooses the later, and since he is not noble, or with enough $$ to purchase a commission, can get no higher than sergeant major.

Sammy, on the other hand, although he joins the cause in France, is promoted since Napoleon had more belief in ability than titles and blood. So he rises through the ranks.

Sam is riding to carry a dispatch message somewhere when he is ambushed by Dean's little troupe (who have been separated from the main army after a big battle where their commander turned tail and fled). Dean kicks Sammy's adorable little officer ass..... and then that later leads to him doing OTHER things to said ass. *grins hugely*

Dude. Those boys in ANYTHING are nice, yesssssss. And anything YOU write them in is DOUBLEY nice. Weskets and tight trousers = the loverly. *purrs*

[dark-reaction.livejournal.com]

Of course Napoleon believed more in ability since he was just some common Corsican, but then made a name for himself in the French Revolution, and went from the little corporal to GOD status. I imagine that Sammy would be planning quite spectacular battles in Napaleon's Operating Corps.
