I commissioned @scarvenartist to draw her pick of my OCs, and she chose Josiah!
Even in moments of repose, Josiah never relaxed. He carried himself as if someone had shoved a rapier down his back. Though he hadn’t the build for elegance, every movement was deliberate, every word pronounced with elocutionist precision. He seemed to always be holding something back, tucked away deep behind the waistcoat buttons. Beneath a furrowed forehead that would likely have wrinkles before he was thirty, his eyes, gray as a knife blade, peered down at the world. His square jaw tended to clench when he wasn’t speaking, leaving his mouth a neatly ironed line. Not a brown hair ever stood out of place; not a freckle sullied that snubbed nose. It wouldn’t have dared.
Josiah did not inherit much in terms of looks (though perhaps adolescence will be kind to him?), but he's got a lot going on beneath the haughty exterior he presents, and I love that scarvenartist captured that subtlety in his expression when seen up close.
He's wearing his Hollingham uniform, which forms the majority of his wardrobe in Book 3, with the green waistcoat that most boys have. In particular circumstances, such as belonging to an elite school club, boys can upgrade to a gold waistcoat, which is a major status symbol in a school already obsessed with status. Josiah wants one very badly.

I’ve been busy.
This one was a quick read. Not because it was short (about 300 pages), but because it absorbed my attention like a dry sponge does milk. It is very informative without being boring. It does not shy away from squiky or weird descriptions either. Observe:
“It wasn’t unusual for surgeons to reuse bandages and dressings already stiff with blood. For convenience, one surgeon proudly kept a drawer of ‘plasters’ passed from patient to patient over the years” P.40
“The fragment of metal is plugging the hole he has cut. The bleeding stops; the heart keeps beating. Then suddenly, like the pop of a champagne cork, the object bursts out of the hole and so does the blood.” P.115
“Up close the arm was even more disturbing, verging on grotesque. Anyone who saw his hand would see it forever, perhaps even in their nightmares… The skin was peeling; there were ulcers and the flesh was shiny. It looked like the outer layer of skin had been stripped away.” P.157-158.
“At any of these places you could see badly disfigured men, some with bandages, most with tubes of flesh hanging from their faces. They could be seen laughing, joking or chatting up the local girls. Some had only stumps for hands and needed help to drink.” P.241.
Some bits are particularly bad (like the descriptions of a lobotomy), but these get the point across good enough.
Great book, do recommend.

top 3 ships: geraltXregis and if someone could tell me the actual ship name for them that'd be great, Mshakarian because nothing screams romance like "no shepard without vakarian" and timXraylan for no reason besides i watched a Justified marathon while sick and slightly high on cough syrup and thought it'd be funny, and now the ship's unironic.
last song: Bullet and a Target by Citizen Cope
lipstick or chapstick: Neither, can't stand the feeling
last movie: Inglourious Basterds is playing on the tv so does that count?
reading: assuming it doesn't want fanfic, Blood and Guts a History of Surgery by Richard Hollingham
and i was tagged by @korora12 and i tag anyone who wants to do it!

Como ver a Terra do espaço pode transformar a sua vida, segundo três astronautas! Admirar a vida no Planeta Azul à distância é uma experiência reveladora, segundo os poucos que tiveram esse privilégio. Três deles conversaram com a BBC para uma série de vídeos 360. Richard Hollingham - BBC "Minha primeira vista da Terra foi alguns segundos após o lançamento", diz a cientista Helen Sharman, a primeira astronauta britânica. "Assim que a carenagem se separou do foguete, a luz invadiu a cabine pela janela e eu tive uma vista do Oceano Pacífico. Foi absolutamente divino, maravilhoso." Sharman tinha 27 anos quando foi lançada ao espaço para passar oito dias na estação espacial soviética Mir, em 1991. Durante a missão, passou todo o tempo possível observando o Planeta Azul pelas portinholas da estação. Na sua última noite em órbita, deixou a persiana aberta para assistir ao nascer do sol repetidamente a cada 90 minutos, enquanto a estação espacial girava ao redor do planeta. Luca Parmitano: Nosso planeta é de tirar o fôlego É uma explosão de luz", conta Parmitano. "Eu estava sobrevoando a África Ocidental nessa explosão de luz - tudo de uma vez, amarelo, rosa, vermelhos, as cores do nascer do sol." "Em primeiro plano estava o azul profundo, profundo do oceano lá embaixo... o branco das ondas quebrando na areia... depois as cores do deserto, ocres e terracota... Tudo isso vindo de uma só vez, não é uma descoberta aos poucos: é uma explosão, e é de tirar o fôlego." Ron Garan: O espaço coloca a Terra em perspectiva O ex-astronauta da Nasa (a agência espacial americana) Ron Garan passou 178 dias no espaço. Foram mais de 27 horas do lado de fora do ônibus espacial e a Estação Espacial Internacional ao longo de quatro caminhadas espaciais. As experiências transformaram sua vida: diz astronauta! créditos, Site Terra.com.br @diogosiniclei @diogopauladelfino #cronicasdosmundoscriacionados #AllPrintEditora #allprinteditora #nasa🚀 #espaceexploration #jaxa筑波宇宙センター #espaço #livroficcaofuturista #plnetaterra #astronomia #astronautas #livros #estrelas #agenciaespacialbrasileira (em Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmvmthjxBL/?igshid=w3bsr5nns4h5

Martin Parr's Soviet space dog collection – in pictures
“From the first moment I saw a piece of space dog ephemera I was hooked,” says the photographer and avid collector Martin Parr in the foreword to a new book featuring his canine-themed Soviet memorabilia. In the 1950s, before man was sent into space, the USSR dispatched dogs up there (first a stray called Laika – meaning “barker” – then Belka and Strelka), which kickstarted a huge industry in collectibles featuring canine cosmonauts, from painted plates and clocks to Russian dolls and cigarette cases. Parr has spent 20 years scouring the internet and Moscow flea markets to source his beloved space dogs. “A useful way to understand the impact that they had on Russian society,” he says, “is to draw a parallel with the Beatles or Mickey Mouse, those western icons that generated huge quantities of memorabilia.”
Space Dogs by Martin Parr and Richard Hollingham is out on 10 June (Laurence King, £12.99)

Photographs, 1916
Rachel Doncath, age twenty-five. She stands steadily and faces the camera, but her eyes show a hint of glancing at someone out of the shot. There is a hint of humor about her expression, as if the unseen person were trying to make her laugh. She wears the height of fashion, a dress with a higher waist and a fuller skirt with a hem high enough to expose a pair of delicate shoes that lace up her ankles. Underneath her wide-brimmed hat, her hair is waved. A watch is clipped to her waistband, and she holds her handbag at the ready, as if she hasn't much time to waste in the photographer's studio. A notation on the back of the photograph indicates that it was taken in Otionovia during a state visit from Queen Rietta.
Rietta I of Faysmond, age twenty-six. This is her yearly formal photograph, a portrait of her in state intended for mass production. Unlike most previous years, she sits rather than stands. Her court gown, dripping with various sorts of intricate lace representing different regions of Faysmond, engulfs her, as does an impressive train swept in front of her. The glove of her left hand is removed, revealing her famous emerald engagement ring and wedding ring. The state crown of Faysmond rests on a table beside her, and on her head is a smaller (but not small!) crown. Not a curl is out of place; they seem to have been tamed with some sort of hair product. Her expression is difficult to read. There is something uncertain in her gaze.
Delclis V of Corege, age twenty-five. An unnamed photographer has caught him sitting in the corridor outside a conference room before a meeting. His face is partially turned away toward a large window through which sunlight is streaming. He wears a dress uniform with sash and decorations. His pince-nez rest on his nose. They are attached to a string tied to one of his medals. A wire fox terrier puppy paws at his knee, and he strokes its ears. A faint smile crosses his face. He appears to be desperately trying to grow a moustache.
Elystan, Duke of Gorchester, age twenty-one. He is posing in the full academic dress of a BA from Hollingham University over an elegantly-cut suit. One hand rests nonchalantly on a pile of books on a table, representing his literary studies. The other hand is on his hip, exhibiting the sleeve of his gown. He holds himself regally, shoulders back, chin uplifted a little. His eyes are less dark-circled and his face less hollow than in earlier photographs. He looks very pleased with himself.
Amarantha Melbray, age twenty-one. In a pose reminiscent of a famous self-portrait of her favorite Renaissance artist, Teofila, she sits at her easel lifting a brush to an already-complete painting of a little girl. The painting is identifiable as "Portrait of Chrysantha" (1916), produced during Melbray's time at the Royal Art Academy. Her palette and an orderly paintbox wait nearby. She wears a ruffled light-colored frock that she clearly would never have worn while actually painting. Her hair is pinned high on the back of her head and waves over her ears. She fixes the camera with a steady, intent gaze.
Tamett Låsrygg, age twenty-one. An informal photograph, made clear by the wide grin on his face. He leans casually against the side of an aeroplane. His arms are crossed over his chest. He wears a leather jacket and flying helmet with goggles. A scarf, probably knitted by his sister Emenor, drapes around his neck. Noriberrian insignia is pinned to the lapel of his jacket. The photograph is inscribed with his signature and the words "With love from New Archangel. Watch the skies for me soon!"
Josiah Callon, age twenty-one. He sits at the piano, one hand over the keys, the other holding a pair of spectacles, which he appears to have just removed. His long legs stretch out in front of him; after years of track and field at Hollingham, he is built like a runner. A morning suit, with its cutaway tailcoat, accentuates his height. Instead of the common 1910s male practice of slicking back the hair into flat smoothness using oil, his hair is parted on the side with curls dipping across the forehead above one eye. His expression is not so much haughty as it is profoundly serious and a little sad.
