(Crawling from my hole to post once a year, as is tradition.)
This is for @scriptumintenebris ! I have been reading their incredible SW fic ”When Legends Fall Apart: The Anatomy of Redemption“ on ao3.
It‘s literally the best reader insert x Darth Vader fic I’ve ever read and I’m just a little bit feral about it. The dialogue is so good and the scene setting is so cinematic (making out in hyperspace, are you kidding me?!!!) that I was inspired to draw a piece of fanart for the first time in literal months.
@scriptumintenebris pleasseeeee keep writing, you’re so talented!!!
AAAAAWWWWWWHHHAAA oh my God 😭🫶 I just woke up to this and this was literally the best possible thing to wake up to. Thank you sooo much, also for sacrificing your annual post for my fic! :D
“Best reader insert x Darth Vader fic” Jesus, I genuinely don’t even know what to say to that. This honestly gives me such a boost for the new chapter, which I’m somehow being really stupid about at the moment. :D
And oh my God, how incredible is this art?! 😭💖It is so beautiful, I genuinely love it so much. Would you maybe be okay with me using it as a profile picture, with credit of course? 🥺
@officially-grim I finally framed your absolutely gorgeous Art, and it has officially found the best possible place: right next to my desk, where I can look at it every day. 🖤
The frame is unfortunately covering a tiny part of the signature, but I promise it’s still there!
Thank you again for creating something so beautiful for my story. I’m still incredibly touched that you made this, and I love it so, so much.❤️

One day Palpatine was like, "New guy just dropped: Vader. You don't get to read his CV but he's allowed to kill anyone he wants. He's guy #2 in a religion that's just us. He gets to order the navy around."
It's like if the Archbishop of Canterbury had diplomatic immunity and an aircraft carrier.

hope this isn't an annoying message but I didn't see you post about it - make sure to toggle on to prevent AI scraping in your blog settings and all sub blog settings.. Tumblr just sold all our data to midjourney and I don't want your hard work to get eaten by lazy ass ai "artists"
no anon im so glad u sent this ask because what the fuck???? at this point im honestly not surprised ugh,,, i had to speedrun to all my blogs’ settings.
RELAYING WHAT ANON SAID TO THOSE THAT AREN’T AWARE:
tumblr is now allowing midjourney to be able to train its AI on artwork posted on blogs BY DEFAULT.
so if you DO NOT want your art to be trained on these fuckass machines:
go to your blog settings FOR EVERY BLOG YOU OWN!! (NOT JUST YOUR MAIN BLOG, BUT YOUR SIDE BLOGS TOO)
find the “Prevent third-party sharing” setting and TURN IT ON ASAP
It should look like this (example used from my splatoon side blog):
Today I cried a little bit because I remembered that when Beethoven conducted his ninth symphony for the first time he got a standing ovation and one of the sopranos had to turn him around to see the audience.
Today I would like to share with you all the manner in which I dressed. It is interesting to see how fashions have changed over the course of 200 years. Some might say style has slipped… Anyway! Here are some details on my wardrobe:
My Suit
I liked to wear sober colours: black, mauve, blue… and especially grey. For instance, I once asked Julian Fontana to have made for me a pair of dark grey winter trousers, without a belt, which were smooth and stretchy.
Grey trousers, 1840.
At a concert in Glasgow, a pupil recalled that I had worn a pale grey suit. Which included a frock-coat of identical tint and texture.
(Left) Frock coat, 1840. (Right) Frock coat and trousers, 1852.
Under my suit, I would wear a modest waistcoat in a fabric such as a black velvet with a tiny inconspicuous pattern, something very quiet and elegant.
(Left) Provençal waistcoat with mauve silk seedlings, 1860. (Centre) Waistcoat with floral pattern, 1838. (Right) Striped waistcoat, 1850-70.
My preferred shirts were ones made of cambric or batiste fabric. They had small mother-of-pearl buttons, two breast-pockets, and could be bought for 14 francs.
For my cravat, I would wear muted colours during the day. Usually, I would tie it in a bow. However, when performing in a formal setting, I would wear a broad, white silk cravat.
Winter Clothes
To keep warm in the winter months, I wore a thick redingote or over-frock coat, as can be seen in this daguerreotype of myself from 1849.
(Left) Wool coat, 1840. (Centre) Winter costume. Paul Gavarni, 1846. (Right) Frock coat. Wool, trimmed with silk velvet. 1820-1830.
At one point, my sickness rendered me so sensitive to the cold that I wore three flannels under my trousers.
Underpants, mid-nineteenth century.
Accessories
Because I had small feet, I often found shoes uncomfortable. I mourned the day, Moos, my shoemaker died. No one made my shoes like him.
1840s men’s shoes.
On my head, I would always have my hair curled, and, when outdoors, I would wear a top hat. I bought my hats from Dupont’s because he made them lightweight. They were originally made of beaver felt but, by my later life, they were made of silk plush.
(Left) Top hat made of beaver felt, 1830s. (Right) Top hat made of silk plush, 1850.
My outfit was only complete with white gloves. Without them one would not be in good taste. Kid gloves were common, but I also liked wearing Swedish (suede) gloves. Always in white.
Evening gloves. 1848.
A pocket handkerchief was also a necessity.
Finally, I had a miniature pocket watch. According to one concert-goer, it was “In shape no bigger than an agate stone, on the forefinger of an alderman.”
Where did I shop?
I bought my top hats from Dupont’s at No 8, rue de Montblanc (the previous name for rue de la Chaussée-d’Antin). I lived on this street myself, both at No 5 (1833-36) and No 38 (1836-38).
(Left) 9, rue de la Chaussée-d’Antin, the fabric shop across the street from the milliners, 1840s. (Right) Rue de la Chaussée-d’Antin, 1858-1878.
My shirts came from No 37 in the Palais Royal galleries, on the theatre side.
(Left) View of the Galerie d'Orléans in the Palais-Royal, 1838. (Right) Jardin du Palais Royal, 1840s.
The white suede gloves could be acquired from À la Corbeille de Fleurs, Houbigant’s shop at No 19, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
(Left) The corner of rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, 1820-1840. (Right) Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 1814-1885.
There were also many shops along the Grands Boulevards. This is where I got my trousers made by my tailor, Dautremont.
(Left) Boulevard de la Madeleine, 1799. (Right) Boulevard des Capucines, 1830.
Boulevard des Italiens, 1840s (left), 1835 (right).
So…
As you can see, in spite my reputation for being picky and perhaps… prissy, with regard to fashion and furniture, I was far from what was called a dandy. My dress was never over-the-top and nor did I put on the airs that were so pertinent to dandyism. My desire, if anything, was to be refined and respectable. Although, perhaps my efforts to do so were occasionally cause for frenzy or distraction.
