the smoke episode 5

[cuppachar]

I just did a binge (re)watch of 'The Smoke' with a baby Taron Egerton and now I really want to write a whump-found-family-redemption-hurt/comfort-fic where Kev basically becomes Asbo's pseudo dad.

(so depressed that there's none for me to read already

What do you mean there's no fics where Kev witnesses or deals with Gog's terrifying psycho-pathological physical and coercive control over Dennis/Asbo?)

This boy did not get enough hugs in this series

Dennis Severs’ House

Not quite a museum, historic house, or art gallery, the house at 18 Folgate Street in Spitalfields is a bit of all three, yet at the same time quite undefinable and unique; the closest description is perhaps installation art, but even that fails to capture something that really has to be experienced to gain a full appreciation.

American artist Dennis Severs purchased the house in the late 1970s, at a time when Spitalfields was an unfashionable area, and the 10-room 18th Century property was relatively inexpensive. Severs reputedly moved in with a candle, a chamber pot, and a bedroll, and set about living in the house as he imagined its original inhabitants would have done. Sleeping in every room, he gradually began to give life to the imaginary Jervis family, Huguenot silk-weavers whose lives and fortunes formed the basis of the “still life drama” that visitors to the house would be able to explore.

Severs furnished each room with furniture, fittings and homeware purchased from local antique shops, creating a series of rooms each evoking a different period spanning the years 1724 to 1914, following the Jervis family from a prosperous Georgian era, through to the tough times of the Victorian age. The experience is more than just antiques though, as each room is filled with appropriate food and drink (put out fresh every day, one assumes), including half-eaten boiled eggs and toast, and glasses of various wines; fires and candles light the rooms at dusk and night, and in dark corners unpleasantly full chamber pots and mouldering items can be found lurking.

Accompanying these, sounds from inside and outside can be caught – whispered conversations from the house’s inhabitants, horses on the street, and distant tolling church bells. It all adds up to give the impression that the family have just left each room, with the visitor stepping into each scene. Guests are asked to remain silent during their visits, something Dennis Severs was known to enforce quite strictly before his death in 1999. As he said: “You either see it or you don’t”, and it would be hard to lose yourself in the experience listening to the chatter of other visitors…

my brain is a mess but I was thinking about The Smoke today and how badly I want to dig out my dvds and rewatch it. I feel like going back and watching it now I could write such good fic for it

listen I honestly think wilson really enjoyed that little arc where he was cooking every single one of house’s meals. I know he’s house’s main source of food anyway but usually just via ‘stolen’/bought lunch at work. I’m talking about when they lived together in season 2 and his ass made macadamia nut pancakes for breakfast on a WEEKDAY. and pot roast for dinner. so much effort and for what…because house was gobbling that shit up…? yes he complained about it every time but he also had an extra fork on hand when house came home to stuffed peppers. it feeds into his need to be needed complex. the intimate dependency of someone relying on you for sustenance. also why they used food as the metaphor for why house was craving his presence. this is what I mean when I say that wilson deserved a housewife era. house went stir crazy within like 12 seconds of doing all their chores because he requires Stimulation™️ but I’m completely convinced that it would act as enrichment for wilson. if I told him to go make me a sandwich he’d roll his eyes and then passive aggressively make a delicious one. actually that literally happened in son of a coma guy. case closed
