I've done a thing! Two things! Well, two complete things and one half complete thing. I'm just going to briefly post the complete things for now, then go to sleep, and hope my brain gives me a final scene for the wip ficlet over night. 

***

For today's Carpe Diem challenge I have...

Created: A first instalment of a Craig/Bruno drabble sequence (no regrets, Craig and Bruno's Great British Road Trips was basically fandom trope wonderland) - I'll post the complete thing on DW too but for this week all instalments will be on AO3 only (literally no one except [personal profile] pushkin666 cares about this pairing and that's fine with me)

And now the Squee! Wasn't sure what to post here, but since [personal profile] deerna used a painting, I thought I would too. This is Charles Mengin's Sappho (1877). It's currently housed at the Manchester Art Gallery and it is one of my favourite paintings of all time. I go visit her every time I'm in Manchester and I have recently dropped a lot of money for a A1 print of the painting to put on my very own wall. I love how unapologetically pissed off she looks. Tits out and glaring, what a queen.

Your first thing is lovely, left kudos but as a guest 'cause I, apparently, wasn't logged in. And Sappho is quite something, a gorgeous piece of art.

The Road Trip was a gift to us all. I loved how much fun both Craig and Bruno were having and how they genuinely seemed like good friends.

I've been enjoying all the paintings linked for the challenge, and I like this one too. SO much power in one hard look.

So, like, in my head this was immediately titled "pissed off woman with her tits out", and then I saw that was largely how you described it :D
