Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

"lady macbeth was manipulating macbeth because of her own ambition to be queen" "lady macbeth never really wanted to be queen she was only doing it because she loved her husband" no you don't understand she was doing it for them. at the beginning of the play the macbeths are a team, partners in greatness, one cannot exist without the other. she doesn't want power only for herself or only for him, she wants them to rule together, equally. that's why it's so devastating when she doesn't get that, when becoming king and queen only drives them apart, because she wanted them to be partners in greatness and she got the opposite.

Tim, sitting in the corner muttering to himself: oh god, oh god, oh gOD
Dick: what's wrong Timmy?
Tim: I forgot not everyone speaks internet
Dick: um... Ok. Ya wanna be more specific
Tim: I was discussing Macbeth with Jason and he was going into how Lady Macbeth is the brains and how much better she is than Macbeth
Tim: so I said "Every girlboss needs a malewife and the Macbeths were just THE toxic girlboss malewife duo"
Tim: and everyone stopped to stare at me, and someone asked me what malewife was

Thinking about the line 'A little water clears us of this deed' in comparison to Hannibal and Will Graham throughout the seasons.
For example;
Will's first kill - Hannibal rinses his bloody knuckles in basin of clean water.
Hannibal after the events of Mizumono - stops to rinse his face in the downpour outside.
The two's first kill together - They tip off of the cliff together, into the ocean below.

The competition was tough but at the end of the day you simply can't outdo the do-er!
