writing this particular fic has gotten me stuck in a lot of dumb ways but by far the dumbest yet is a paragraph where I’m attempting to figure out where I could put zippers on a distinctly late fourteenth century cloak and also what exactly might make make a cloak distinctly late fourteenth century

Listen. The series has its weak points, but can we at least try to do again what The First Churchills (1969) had going on?

a) Finding actors that aren't "conventionally attractive" but actually resemble the historical figures they're meant to represent and

b) putting wigs on affluent male European characters of the later 17th and 18th centuries?

I like that all my tavs/durges have romanced different ppl i can't imagine making another tav that works so well w asty considering it seemed like a total fluke. Consistently battling between approval n disapproval, they regularly challenged each other (and that included times eins was callous without realizing just how much their words meant to asty)... like I truly think just playing the game as close to what I *think* my character would do worked so well I would just be trying to recapture that magic if I tried 2 romance him again
