February 2019 Wallpaper: Response
Shaenon: For this month’s wallpaper, I made a companion piece to the Maxfield Parrish-inspired February 2017 wallpaper. I have dressed Nick up like a fancy lad and he is really pulling it off.
As always, if you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, or contribute any amount to our Patreon, we’ll give you a link to this wallpaper, designed for two computer desktop sizes and cell phones. Patreon contributors will continue to receive new wallpaper for the length of their contribution.
As a bonus, you’ll get the matching 2017 wallpaper!
Channing: This is perhaps the fanciest that Nick has ever been, and that’s really something considering he once wore a literal princess gown.
I was going to say he was wearing a maintenance cap, but then it should be trimmed with ermine.
“All the flowers in the illustration [of Virginia] signify secret or forbidden love in Victorian flower language.” Presumably the flowers in this one signify love which is only secret to the participants but which is painfully obvious to everyone else. I’m sure the Victorians had flowers for that.
Well, the deep red roses and the bright red tulips certainly speak to the more obvious forms of love.
It’s Nick with a heart on..

Awwwwwwwww!
First reaction upon looking at Nick’s pic: “Awwwww… **sympathy** And he looks so cute!” And THEN I looked at Virginia’s, and now I’m all choked up (more for Nick than for her, but still.) It’s the sky in the background that gets me, really; I know it’s very Morris and all, puffy clouds and so forth, but… Nick must miss being a ‘copter so much, despite all the physical distractions and emotional turmoil of being flesh and blood again; flight’s something that’d change a person a great deal.
Also? Those are GORGEOUS.
Aww. Thank you so much.
