⬆️ Mørck and Rachel Fan Scribbles (rushed and imperfect but tried to capture the feelz) based on some photo edits I did a while ago. The idea is that Carl and Rachel end up in a beachfront cafe after a windswept walk. The photo edits below are how it starts and the Procreate sketch above is where it’s heading…
The (improbable) scenario rambled on a bit a lot so I put it on AO3. Still wondering what these two characters will be like; hoping they’ll lead us on a merry dance; still hoping for some sneak peeks from Netflix soon. ☺️
Thank you for reading ❤️🙃 It completely lacks coherence - ‘random moments of disjointed daydreaming’ might be a better description of it. But it’s the process of writing that’s fun and valuable in terms of escapism, so I’m ok with a flawed product. Same with the edits and drawings. For me, Lazar is the perfect escape… as might be a teeny bit obvious? ❤️🧛😉

(in the US but frankly it should be an international thing!). To celebrate, here are Matthew Goode and James Purefoy enjoying cheese and wine in the Camargue sunshine after a hard day horse riding and rounding up cattle.
I love Matthew's ecstatic faces, he is in his happy place 😆. I am with him, cheese and wine are one of the best things in life!
Also just noting in passing, the thumb, the open shirt and neck (THAT Bblue shirt 🩵🩵), the gorgeous smile 🫠

Refusing to do his vampire thing. And driving Ana to distraction. Imaginary, inexpert edits on an Abigail theme.
Wrote a little bit to go with these on AO3. It waffles. It’s undercooked or overcooked. A bit much or not enough. Can’t really decide. But - happily - it’s just for fun.

I was today years old when I learnt that Abigail means ‘my father’s joy’. Too clever for me. But now I love this little detail. It got me thinking about Lazaar’s relationship with Abigail and, although we know he’s not the best father 😅, I thought he might have bought her one of these jewellery boxes. The original is from Giggle and Honey on Amazon and I just faffed around with it on Procreate. I’d love to make a real one 🎨🖌️

Lazaar ❤️ Joey
He does-but-he-doesn’t want to be there. Yes, perfect, perfect song 👌 Listening to it now.
Carl’s trying (and failing) to enjoy a cup of tea in a greasy spoon on the beachfront. Who’s sitting opposite him, I wonder… 🤔

And I’ve never loved a vampire before… so that’s a coincidence. 🤔🫠
Love this post ❤️
"I have never played a vampire before."
Matthew goes on talking about Dracula, the most famous vamp.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Fast forward a few years, Matthew has portrayed not one but two vampires, one of which is the iconic Count Dracula in Abigail! Never say never 😁

As an ADOW newbie, this is one of the most important and enlightening debates I have ever read. I salute you all. 🫡❤️
So this happened ….
and we all cry - ‘Matchy- matchy’ underwear? No way. [this post made me cry with laughter - http://emily-elizabeth-rose.tumblr.com/post/179878860048/semi-spoilery-for-the-7th-or-8th-episode-of-a]
But @natascha-ronin reminded us that Diana didn’t pack her own things - someone else did….
Hilarious that he was opening the right drawers like he’d been married to her for years - obviously his reconnaissance of the underwear situation (in Episode 1) was a total success for him [coz we know that pervy vamp had already been in Diana’s knicker drawer!] Mmm. Nice. ‘Pulling’ underwear. Must pack those.
Diana probably opened her suitcase at Sept Tours and thought WTF?

Yep, Lazar. Still. 🧛✍️❤️
