Tired

Mattheo riddle x Fem!Reader

Cute fluff

I found myself in Mattheos' dorm room, reclining on his bed while waiting for him to finish his shower.

As I mindlessly scrolled through tiktok, the sound of the door opening caught my attention. Swiftly, I averted my gaze from my phone to see Theo entering the room. He casually tossed his soiled clothes into the laundry basket before making his way over to where I was.

Signalling the end of my TikTok session, I deactivated my phone and placed it on the nightstand.

As Theo flopped onto the bed, seeking solace in my arms, I instinctively wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer. Gently, I pressed a tender kiss onto his damp hair as he mumbled tiredly against my neck. “I’m so tired”

"Then get some rest," I chuckled, my fingers caressing his hair in a soothing motion.

"You smell amazing," he mumbled, his words barely audible.

With a light-hearted chuckle, I replied, "Why, thank you."

"Is it the new strawberry-scented one I got you?" he asked, nuzzling his head deeper into my embrace.

"Mhm," I murmured, gently tucking the duvet over both myself and Mattheo. As I continued running my hands through his hair, I began to hear soft snores escaping his parted lips. Glancing down, I couldn't help but smile at the sight of him peacefully asleep.

With a final tender kiss on his head, I closed my own eyes and settled in, letting sleep embrace me as well.

Katharine Hepburn by George Hoyningen-Huene, 1934

"The Baron met Hepburn on the boat, coming over from Europe. He was with Ernest Hemingway, whom she wanted to meet. So his artist’s eye had the opportunity to study her informally, at close range. “Katharine Hepburn,” he says, “‘is the contrast of tremendous, burning intensity, inside a placid face with tiny features and the skin drawn tight like a drum. She is like a fire at which you would wish to warm yourself, and you would surely be burned if she did not dart away too soon. There is a fanatical expression in her eyes and a dynamo inside her which makes her slightest word or gesture take on enormous importance. With her flaring nostrils and harsh mouth, she could never be called beautiful, but her face has a dynamic quality which is more important to an actress than beauty. She could make people believe anything; she is almost hypnotic. It is this which is back of her ability. It makes everything she does dramatic, and it makes you wait for her to do something else, if only to sit down. It is too bad she has had a quick career. She should have arrived later, after work and struggle, because she has the same touch of violence that Sarah Bernhardt had—only Bernhardt had it under perfect control. She must have muscular things to do rather than spiritual. Then there is the genuine Peter Pan quality about her, too. She is always young. Her casualness as to appearance, that, also, is genuine, not intentional....”

Welcome to Manuscript Monday!

In this series we will periodically focus on selections from our manuscript facsimile collection. Today we present selections from the Morgan Beatus Manuscript, reproduced as A Spanish Apocalypse, The Morgan Beatus Manuscript in New York by George Braziller, Inc. in association with the Pierpont Morgan Library in 1991. The original manuscript, made around 10th century CE at the scriptorium of San Miguel de Escalada in Spain by a monk named Maius, is the earliest surviving illuminated version of the monk Beatus of Liébana's commentary on the biblical Book of Apocalypse (also known as the Book of Revelation).  The text of the Book of Revelation makes up the first part of the manuscript, and Beatus’s commentary comprises the second part. The Book of Revelation tells of the end-times in Christianity, during the final judgement of humanity by God. The story within this Biblical book was also seen by those living during the Latin medieval era as representative of the beginning of something new: God’s celestial kingdom. Due to this view of the book, many artists incorporated imagery from this part of the Bible in their work.

Produced in Al-Andalus, or Muslim-ruled Spain, the artistic style of this work combines both Muslim and Christian visual traditions to create a beautifully illuminated manuscript that supplements the commentary by the monk. This artistic style is known as the Mozarabic, which comes from the Arabic mustaʿrib, meaning ‘Arabicized’. Interestingly, this style of art can only be seen in Christian religious art and architecture from Spain at the time, as non-religious artistic objects made by Christians look so similar to Islamic versions of the same works that they cannot be identified as intentionally Christian. Some key Islamic artistic elements within the manuscript include buildings with horseshoe arches, intricate geometric and vegetal patterns as borders for larger images, and the large, bulging eyes of the illustrated animals.

Another interesting aspect of this specific manuscript is the colophon at the end of the manuscript. It tells readers about the circumstances surrounding the creation of this book, including the maker, the patron, the year it was made, and an explanation about why Maius created the manuscript ("I write this . . . at the command of Abbot Victor, out of love for the book of the vision of John the beloved disciple. As part of its adornment I have painted a series of pictures . . . so that the wise may fear the coming of the future judgement of the world's end."). Colophons in medieval manuscripts are not usually as detailed, so the inclusion of all this information contributes greatly to the knowledge and history surrounding the Morgan Beatus Manuscript.

I saw a post by @icarusbetide saying that they love the idea of George Washington being a gossiper and I am behind this 100%, but I would like to add for consideration him constantly shipping the people around him. Someone on his staff courting someone? He’s silently praying it works because he thinks it’s cute. If it’s someone he disapproves of, he’s all “oh honey no you can do so much better”. He’s the one subtly trying to “encourage” along certain relationships. His aides are begging him to stop. He will not yield.

He accidentally witnesses James and Sarah kissing or being otherwise lovey and he’s just

My Dutch cover

Today I wanted to show you my Dutch cover! I’m delighted Long Live Evil is being published (simultaneously with the US and UK) in the Netherlands - Luitingh Sijthoff is the most amazing fantasy publisher, who publish George R.R. Martin and Naomi Novik. My Dutch editors kindly said they were over the moon to publish this story about the magic of books. And I’m over the moon with this cover: its amazing sprayed edges, the sword, the serpent (we always have our evil snake mascot!) and dove motif, and the fairytale roses. Because behold the heroine of the story… and behold my villainous protagonist, who is in fact her wicked stepsister. Discover the villain within!
