They have an owl mascot?! Does he keep the old outfit or does he too have to abide by the boring black and white with red accents?

Happy to know that the brown colour named after Lord Byron was in around this period, as seen here in the January 1826 issue.

While looking at fashion articles from La Belle Assemblée published around The Last Man’s release, I found these two little mention in its February and April issues.

I had a dream that someone stole my books and didn’t even read them, what the hell.

New trailer for Del Toro’s Frankenstein today. Happy October. 👀

Hey, it’s another Grove cousin/in-law of the Shelleys painted by Romney!Elizabeth Chafyn-Grove, aunt of diarists Harriet and Charlotte Grove, was the sister of Shelley’s uncle Thomas. Her nephew, Capt. William Grove, also happened to be her sister-in-law’s husband… 😬

The lion actually does concern himself with the politics of his home country while aboard in Italy, he read about a violently suppressed demonstration in the papers and was so concerned that he wrote an entire poem about it. 🦁⛓️‍💥

I only learned about it from an irl, literally no news for something so horrible that happened in my own state.

I’ll never be able to top this, it was too good.

I hate putting a meal on my plate and then finding an ingredient I could’ve added in. It’s too late now, maybe next time.

@grahamflhenderson.bsky.social I feel like I have nothing but also something. This is just from reading Holmes’ writing on the elusive Winter of 1813–1814, I need to read Bieri’s since he’s more updated and has his psych. background.

Oliver 🩵 @maskofanarchy.bsky.social · 14d

Since Charles was born in November and I assume Harriet was pregnant for nine months, they conceived him either before or after their remarriage. Shelley’s “apathy and something like hysteria” letter to Hogg was also written about a week before their English wedding.

Oliver 🩵 @maskofanarchy.bsky.social · 14d

I have some theories over Charles’ birth, but I don’t know if I can share them here. Nothing is set in stone, it’s just a potential theory of why they had another child in the aftermath of their declining marriage following their English remarriage.

Not to mention, Shelley was already showing signs of odd behaviour in Wales at the beginning of the year. Hallucination or not, he believed someone tried to kill him while threatening to attack his family.

Oliver 🩵 @maskofanarchy.bsky.social · 14d

I’m rereading the Westbrook years of Holmes’ and Bieri’s Shelley biographies to refresh my mind over their separation, and 1813 was a YEAR. Shelley’s slow detachment from Harriet to the Bracknell set /with/ his weird behaviour over being financially insecure and unstable is a tough read.

This season also takes place in Michigan following the 2016 election. Stop reeling me in, damn!

Evan Peters as Kai Anderson was great. The part where Oz mentions that Jim Jones didn’t join his followers via kool-aid, then Kai angrily says Wikipedia is shit and destroys his phone? And the only way Oz is protected is Kai suddenly getting (doctored) evidence that he’s his father? Fuck.

Oliver 🩵 @maskofanarchy.bsky.social · 15d

Day ago, I put on American Horror Story for background. I was already familiar with the older seasons. I didn’t pay much attention to Cult until I heard the name “Oz”, and then my neck twisted once I heard “Ozymandias” being the kid’s name and I locked-in. The Jim Jones imitation scene was crazy.
