This is my Melisandre cosplay. The costume was made by myself. A friend of mine helped with the costume and photography. I am trying to do my best with cosplaying. I hope it came out good enough!

05/? historical otps ✧martha& thomas jefferson
Thomas Jefferson → Stephen Dillane
Martha Jefferson → Maria Bonnevie
Martha and Thomas met in 1768. The courtship will last 3 years, just after the death of her first husband. They married in 1772. Throughout their almost eleven-year marriage, the Jeffersons had been deeply devoted to each other, sharing common passion for music, literature and a mutual suport.
On 1782, Ms. Jefferson’s health took a turn to the worse, and Martha died on September 6. Thomas was so distraught, he did not remarry and remained a widower for the rest of his life, as he promised to his wife. He was inconsolable and “was led from the room almost in a state of insensibility by his sister Mrs. Carr, who, with great difficulty, got him into his library where he fainted, and remained so long insensible that they feared he would never revive.” After the funeral, he withdrew to his room for three weeks. Afterward he spent hours riding horseback alone around Monticello. His daughter wrote, “In those melancholy rambles I was his constant companion, a solitary witness to many a violent burst of grief.”
Not until mid-October did Jefferson begin to resume a normal life when he wrote, “emerging from that stupor of mind which had rendered me as dead to the world as was she whose loss occasioned it.(…)All my plans of comfort and happiness were reversed by a single event…”
He carried a folded piece of paper with her handwriting with him the rest of his life along with a lock of her hair.

03/? historical otps ✧john& abigail adams
John Adams → Paul Giamatti
Abigail Adams → Laura Linney
Although she lived at a time when many women were not educated, Abigail Adams learned to read, developing an appreciation of current events. Her intellect attracted her to a young lawyer, John Adams, and they were married in 1764.
It was an intellectual and romantic relationship that would last for more than 50 years. The intimacy of their courtship remained throughout their marriage, as did their copious letters.
The Revolutionary War and other events often forced Adams to be away from home for long periods of time, so they wrote each other over a thousand of long, affectionate letters. He often addressed his letters to his “Miss Adorable”or“My dear Diana” -after the Roman goddess - and Abigail addressed her letters to “My Dearest Friend”.
When she did join her husband, on diplomatic missions to Paris and London, and later in Washington, DC, Abigail was an esteemed partner, entertaining with style and observing people with interest, John valuing her advice above all others. She advocated an expanded role for women in public affairs during the formative days of the United States.
Abigail died of typhoid fever on October 28, 1818. Her last words were, “Do not grieve, my friend, my dearest friend. I am ready to go. And John, it will not be long.”
John and Abigail are buried side by side in a crypt located in Massachusetts.
