Head in the clouds
I am probably spending way to much brain-energy this week on creating steampunk!Rufus for The Sky Tides, although it has given me more info to add to my vast store of utterly useless facts. A symptom of this is that while I am usually not really into the 18th/19th century harlequin romance heroes, there's something about the mental image of Rufus horseback riding - 19th century clothes, tall riding boots, jacket off, shirt sleeves rolled up slightly - that's really incredibly hot.
Anyway. As a distraction from my shallow fangirling, have hilarious goldfish. I literally laughed for like two minutes straight.
Also, I just have say this - 18th century lit and the lack of standardized capitalization blows. Trying to read sentences where half the nouns are capitalized is really hard - it totally messes up all my visual sentence break cues.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I uploaded this a few days ago and never posted it. Have some sweet Rufus-appropriate house techno: David Guetta - The World is Mine

Then I have him raving in my head to David fucking Guetta.
I... I think I love you.

Sadly my steampunkAU!Rufus probably doesn't actually go horseback riding at all, because he 1) grew up in the city and 2) has photosensitive lupus, so he's pretty much hiding indoors all the time.

YOUR AWESOMENESS, IT'S TOO GRAND TO BE CONTAINED IN THIS UNIVERSE D8

I really have spent way too much time on Wikipedia doing research for this AU setting. I AM FULL OF USELESS FACTS.

Cute Overload is amazing. They really are hilarious goldfish.
Agreed... And don't read Kafka, because THE RUN ON SENTENCES ARE LIKE BURNING.

I like the photo with the one that's all D8. Just...priceless.

And you probably wouldn't like Latin manuscripts/monuments with the lack of spacing or punctuation either.
