I can't stop reading the 1793 third edition of "A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue" (originally published 1785). I have been irritating all my friends and coworkers with fun new terms like "That's the barber!" and "He looks like God's revenge against murder."

Anyway, Ash talked me into drawing some of the phrases and I ended up with these little mid-1780s Londoners.

Please write the essay, any general unnamed 18th century person I draw is probably gay and/or trans unless otherwise specified.

In addition to wrestler!Macbeth, I've decided Romeo & Juliet would also be fun to design and play around with. I really want to translate a traditionally-costumed kind of cast (Renaissance Italian & Tudor English influences) into gear.

None of them are actually related, I don't think. Just sort of a messy web of alliances and professional relationships.

If you were around when I was a teenager and on my last attempt at a modern!R&J you deserve a veterans discount

This is what the point-and-click adventure game about running errands in 1770s Boston looks like so far.

My entry for @countdowntotwinpeaks 's 2024 exchange!!

My prompt was @petitelappin 's, which was about Laura and Maddy!!

Their prompt: I'm really interested in the psychic connection they have in The Secret Diary, and the parallels between Maddie's distress at everyone treating her like she's Laura vs Laura's distress at being seen as a specific Laura who she doesn't feel like she is ("Your Laura's gone, it's just me now," etc).
