Hi there! Name's SJ.
I like history, animals, sea shanties, and sideshows.
This is my self indulgent corner of the internet.
I put my art here too.
If you only want to see my more finished art and nothing else, you can follow my art blog here.
I don’t like how tumblr thinks ‘Victorian’ is synonymous with:
- Any time period prior to the 20th century (No. It’s 1837-1901)
- Goths
- Top hats
- Lacy things
- Grainy black and white webcam pictures of one wearing said lacy thing.
- Rococo
- A time when people were afraid of vampires and zombies and so that’s why they put mortsafes over graves NO.
- MARIE ANTOINETTE
- CLOCK GEARS AND GOGGLES.
And let me also take a moment to plug this considerably more articulate and interesting post I wrote last year, as well.
When patients were committed to the Willard Asylum for the Insane in Upstate New York, they arrived with a suitcase packed with all of the possessions they thought they needed for their time inside.
Most never left. The mental hospital had an average stay of nearly 30 years. When patients died, they were buried in nameless graves across the street of the asylum. Their suitcases, with all their worldly possessions, were locked in an attic and forgotten.
In 1995, an employee of the mental hospital discovered the suitcases, 400 of them. They date from 1910 to 1960.
Now, photographer Jon Crispin is cataloging each suitcase and opening a window into the lives - and the minds - of the people deemed too unwell to be allowed in society.This is fascinating and distressing. I wonder how many of those people were actually “unwell”, or whether it was just a reflection of what society considered unacceptable at the time.

“Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, “What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?” Instead they demand: “How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?” Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

The Dishonored feature-film screenplay is being drafted!
This is an EXTREME rough draft WIP; i.e., this was written in one sitting starting two hours ago. But it’s an idea of what I’m going for, no?
I’M DOING THE THING.
