"If in beginning the gang knew she is Zola"

I am so jealous :-( I don't know you but, if I could stow away in your suitcase, I'd be the happiest.

I could offer loads of pictures, and maybe a postcard? :) 

Nonny also asked for Orange so this is for you also!orange: what makes you feel warm inside? what’s your favorite halloween tradition? what’s the last thing you learned? when’s the last time you felt obsessed? what’s your favorite article of clothing?

Dogs oh my god, dogs I just look at them and the world is twenty thousand times better, also cats, birds...squirrels, definitely squirrels...and bunnies...I guess animals in general make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside?I don’t really have a particular Halloween tradition (except more recently, watching What We Do In The Shaows), but Halloween is basically my favourite time of year ever

The last thing I learned was that Louis XIV was the first one to order that street lamps be placed around the streets of Paris.

I currently feel very obsessed with Versailles, I think probably permanently, also permanently obsessed with Les Mis, and more recently, Vampire the Masquerade? 

meeee toooooo

I’ve only been to Seattle out of the two but that’s the place I’d choose

I’m just some random person who follows your blog and stuff but black lipstick always reminds me of you too. You’re the #1 black lipstick appreciator that I know of.

No problem! (Hehe, I was half expecting someone to have a reaction to that comment).

I ADORE historical fiction, whether it's in movie, TV, book, or any other form. It is to me how fantasy and sci-fi are to others; it's a way for me to go to a different time and place that I couldn't otherwise because of money and not having the ability to time-travel.

The comment, though, was addressing more so the differences between visual story-telling and written. Because of timing and pacing, stories told through visuals, from plays to YouTube, are going to be more condensed and less detail heavy. This is especially true for adaptations, and then EVEN MORE THAN THAT for historical fiction. Characters from history will be combined together or omitted. Events, objects, clothing, will be altered for the sake of drama and narrative. Take the story of the Von Trapps, for instance: in The Sound of Music they flee the Nazis by climbing the mountains into Switzerland. In reality they just took a train. The fact was changed because it was more visually dramatic.
