All the water in my body come through
I have had a useless and exhausted day. I made a sandwich. I tapped out of a movie. Hestia snuggled into the chair behind me and chewed on my hair. I went for a walk in the faintly ecliptic light of the Canadian wildfire drift that has turned the moon red as harvest the last two nights and photographed some flowering things.
The hibiscus was the size of a dinner plate and turned like a radio dish toward the sun.
However this plant had begun life, it wilted beautifully.
Return to the planet of the plate-sized hibiscus.
Please enjoy this 1934 RKO Technicolor screen test of Katherine Hepburn as Joan of Arc, discovered courtesy of staring at this gifset and tracking its origins feverishly down through MOMA. The production failed to materialize thanks to George Bernard Shaw's possessiveness over the script of Saint Joan. What an incredible fragment from the hell of a good Hollywood next door.
It seems my childhood exposure to Arthuriana was such that if I read an article about a water well that collapsed in the digging in first-century CE Roman Britain, my brain immediately decides it was dragons. Endemic construction hazard. Like the water table. Enough excavation and it's dragons every time.

Thank you! I'm glad I hunted the source of the gifset down; the context was fascinating and the full range of motion worth it to me.
ETA: Just got up BBC Sounds to get the next Twelve Maidens ep up, and the continuity announcer got carried away by how many Martin Jarvises he was having to announce that evening, lol.
A multiplication of Martin Jarvises in a stone ring absolutely sounds like an Iron problem to me.
