Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Memes for Volume 2

(I made these memes before reading the last chapter of Volume 2. I'm not okay...)

Volume 1 Volume 3

She was dressed in a white gown with an overdress of pale blue net and diamonds. It glittered like frost and snow, and was far prettier than any gown she had possessed when she lived in England. In her hair were sprays of some tiny, star-like blossoms and there was a black velvet ribbon tied around her throat.

If I’d been the one to adapt Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell into a tv format, I definitely would have made it a fake documentary. Like the current show is good, but it misses the fact that the original book, in-universe, is supposed to be written by a scholar of English magic, complete with footnotes and historical inaccuracies and sources cited. That’s like 50% of its charm! A show in that vein would be so funny and clever. Right now, my vision consists of: Lots of shots of an academic woman in tweed or something walking through fields, museums, and old manors as she talks about the history of English magic. (this is the host. she looks like susanna clarke because that’s how I picture the narrator. non negotiable.) She would also do voiceovers describing the various plot-related hijinks Jonathan and Norrell got up to as the camera pans over, idk, their oil portraits, or artistic depictions of the scene she’s talking about. Mostly the show would feature actors recreating the Important Historical Events (i.e. scenes from the book) in costumes that look a little cheap but are clearly all they had the budget for, like those documentaries you used to watch in school when the teacher didn’t feel like teaching. They could even interview “experts” on various historical fields, like Strange’s involvement in the Napoleonic Wars, the Raven King, Faery and its inhabitants, The Learned Society of York Magicians, and so on. BBC hire me right now

Let your raven flags fly, folks! Tis the season of bisexual icon John Uskglass.

Wander a frozen moor in a black gown!

Bury your heart in a dark wood beneath the snow, yet still feel its ache!

Spend your nights dancing in the ruins of a fairy court, and your days ignoring Sir Walter Pole!

Imagine the bleakest of November landscapes, but make it camp!

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell Fandom-

I know you exist, you beautiful weirdos. I need a gift that is representative of JS&MN while not being merch. IDK exactly what I'm talking about, but if you have any genius ideas, slide into my messages/asks. I want something nerdy and specific. For example- I considered commissioning little orb, crown, and scepter ornaments. But that felt too.... not clever.

Something focused on the Peninsular War section of the book would be peak, because then it spreads out a little bit and encompasses Sharpe and other nerdy things.

Well I'm here now
