AHHHH I LOVE THAT YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES PLUMB FOR JEM/TESSA though i used a different song i believe. i will download this ASAP once i get my new computer, and asdklf the cover art is SO BEAUTIFUL. so, so beautiful. georgie i see you there. and i'm very glad my clockwork prince is already set in stone because otherwise i'd probably be like NOOO BUT I WANT TO USE THESE SONGS. but. it's already set, SET I TELL YOU.

Woah, your speedy commentary is awesome!

And yes! "In My Arms" was the second song I was totally certain of for the mix. The first time I listened to "Dance on Our Graves" after reading CP, it was certain that it was a Jem-appropriate song (Epic violin solo, dur.), but Plumb was my very first song for Tessa.

And thank you! I loved tinkering with it. And yes, I can't seem to stop using Georgie for Tessa in my manips. It's practically a habit now with my tumblr graphics.

And I totally look forward to your mix! And alternate Plumb songs!

ahhh well the first mix is yonder if you like~~

i keep dithering on tessa's. i have about five of them now. i can't seem to settle on just one, and a lot of times i'll just find these incredible pictures and be like YES THIS, FOREVER but then i find someone else and i'm like OH BUT THIS. right now i'm really rocking anna friel for an older tessa (see icon) and anna popplewell (goddamn annas) in some pictures, see default! I JUST CANNOT DECIDE. georgie is an excellent fit, i just have her cast in my head as young persephone, so. but i double up on casting all the time.

oooh. I got about three or four Tessa's myself, so I feel ya. And I can see Anna P. too, but I do like that lady on your icon for older!Tessa. She seems lovely.
