Does Art create Romance or does Romance create Art?

8/31/2021

It is no secret that I am a bibliomania when it comes to reading.  Bibliomania is an extreme passion for books.  Which is funny since my favorite genre is historical romances (passion - romance--get it? *lol)  So what does that have to do with my question of does art create romance or does romance create art?

When I was reading one of my romance books by one of my favorite authors, Caroline Linden, the line that defined my Troll King's personality jumped off the page.  I was able to play with it with the Dowager and her jousting knights, but it was my romance books that clarified the Troll King's personality... devilish without being truly evil... just a little dangerous (maybe even roguish - *smiling*).
So, was this a one off?  No, I have often been inspired by my reading which allows me to escape to another time and place.  And again, my romance books came into play.  As I mentioned previously, my Gooblin King has been very adamant about showing up before I even finished the Troll King's introduction.
And it is hard to talk about someone when you don't even know their name other than you might recognize the face.  I am glad my writers are so well educated and research their characters as much as I do when developing my dolls.

Example: Hiraeth - a bittersweet sense of missing something or someone you love, while still being grateful for their existence.  A longing for home or that time that felt like home.
                                                                                          ~ To Catch an Earl by Kate Bateman  
If you are wondering where this is going, well the Gooblin King received his name, Hir'aeth.   It is a Welsh word with no direct English translation, but the definition also has something to do with the Gooblin's King's personality.

How does this name/definition apply to the Gooblin King?  That will be revealed when he is ready to show himself.  Have I also answered my previous question?  Art and Romance go hand in hand... like the chicken and the egg.  I don't think one can say they are separate but both enhance the world... for it would be a sad world indeed if we didn't have art for the eyes and romance for the soul.
