"... at Toulon, during the hours of repose, which were for Jean Valjean hours of reverie, this gloomy galley-slave, seated with folded arms upon the bar of some capstan, with the end of his chain thrust into his pocket to prevent its dragging, serious, silent, and thoughtful, a pariah of the laws which regarded the man with wrath, condemned by civilization, and regarding heaven with severity."

I said, ‘How dare you to talk to me, you coward.’

This week's episode of Vinland saga was deeply heartbreaking.

So far we have seen how terrible slavery is, but only (mostly) in theory. In the way one may look at a neighboring country with serious issues and think, yeah, that sucks.

This episode takes it to a personal level. Sure, we saw Einar's family die at the beginning of the season, but we didn't care for him then. We didn't know him. He was just one of many victims. Like Arnheid. She is first introduced as a mild, nice lady that won't harm a fly, fooling us into thinking her life is perhaps not too bad. And little by little, we're fed pieces of her misery.

Abused by the mistress of the house. Doomed to a life as sex slave, and pregnant with a child of the master. A dead child. A lost family. And yet she smiles through it all. She picks up the little crumbs of joy she can and gives up on her freedom, on her past life. She is able to laugh at last. Until the storm hits, and she's not able to let it pass. Just when she was starting to accept her fate, when she was settling in her life as a slave.

Garnar, her husband, ruined by slavery, shaped into a desperate beast driven by blind revenge finally reunites with her, only to die in her arms as he dreams about the life they can no longer have. And she can't even have that one moment in peace, because she's a slave, and surrounding her are men waiting to take her back to her doom. Her life is no longer hers. Her future snatched right out of her hands.

Just beautifully done. At the beginning of the season I used to think Thorfinn was being too hard on himself. He was just a child after all, when he was out in the war. However, living like this, amongst slaves, experiencing first hand their struggles and regrets, the sheer injustice of the abuse, how could he not blame himself? He, too, ruined lives, broke families apart. Killed indiscriminately and sent people into slavery.

#vinland saga #vinland saga spoilers #thorfinn #arnheid #I feel for him #you're doing great Thorfinn keep up the good work #but seriously this season has surpassed all my expectations of it I thought it would be another action packed vikings #which is not bad I do love a good historical viking #but this??? shit it is done so well #thorfinn is very much just a human #he is no hero #and neither are the people he surrounds himself with #I am looking forward to seeing him grow his own forest of mushrooms #living peacefully with a group of hippy friends that stare at the sky all day and talk about the meaning of cats

1820s to 1840s Evening Wear - 2 suits

Two little edits of that one beloved Vampires suit, with three things in common: Wide hips, a slightly higher collar, and the same swatches.

From the 1820s until the mid-1830s, the fashionable silhouette for men's clothing was wide hips, a slender waist and full shoulders. This look was generally achieved through padding, corseting, and most of all, tailoring.

In the latter half of the 1830s, this silhouette began to change. The shoulders became sloped, and a "pigeon-breasted" look became more fashionable. Hips were still just as wide and the waist just as narrow. The 1840s look was, of course, also usually achieved through unnatural means.

Basically: V1 is this 1820s to mid-1830s look, and V2 is the mid-1830s to 1840s look. V1 has puffy sleeves while V2 has sloped shoulders. V2 also has a slightly fuller chest.

Swatch 1-48: Tie and vest in white, suit in many different colors.

Swatch 49-60: Suit in black, tie in white, vest in various colors.

Swatch 61-65: Suit in black, tie in black, vest in a few different colors. These are intended to be mourning swatches.

Both are BGC!

Both have the same 65 swatches

All LODs (except LOD3 which refused to cooperate with me, so it's the LOD3 of the original vampires suit)

Is this an Antoine aging gracefully post or a sim style evolution appreciation moment? Both? Both is good 😌

#Antoine is the first one of this gen’s main characters to age up into an adult #which I have FEELINGS about omg #I feel like they’re all entering new phases of their lives/we’re well and truly on this train to the next gen #and I am not okay about it 😭 #also a moment for Zelda’s ~evolution~ between these two posts is all imma say thank you very much #let us not forget the shy 20 year old waiting for that man to make his first move #like her character arc is in some way’s just as quiet as she can be #but also like I see it sometimes and just wanna cry for her and buy her a drink #that’s enough ranting in the tags for me thank you good day #sims 4 historical #ts4 decades challenge #ts4 historical #sims 4 decades challenge #sims 4 legacy #ts4 legacy

A. Kirkland- Pitbrow Woman, '81

In the last month or so, my interest in nyo!England has blossomed. Yet, I have long disliked the canon stylization of the character.

Ms. Alice Kirkland has never been one to shy away from physical labor or the harsh realties of her own people. Even at the height of her international power, it was rare that- unless directly requested by the monarch or prime minster- that she lived among the aristocrats for long periods of time. A stark difference between her and her French counterpart. While her rebellious days as a sailor were behind her, throughout the 1800s it was not uncommon to find her either in the mines, in a factory, or tending to her own country estate farm.

Looking around through Pokémon wikis and I realized that Volo was not the first guy in the Pokemon universe to wear a haircut that covers one eye and dress up like the legendary Pokémon he’s obsessively trying to get power from

#this guy’s Zero from the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior #my favorite Pokémon movie as a kid #sir by any chance have you looked into your sinnoh ancestry #found this while doing research for my writing #it’ll probably make sense one day when I actually get the fic out haha #ok well yeah historically in-universe Volo would have been the first to do it #but chronologically for the franchise no

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is not feeling comfortable with assigning queer labels to dead people because a) there's only so much you can know about someone without knowing them personally b) it's entirely their business how they categorize relationships and c) more often than not it stems from amatonormative reasons "they couldn't just be friends!! because they did THIS!!!"

I'm not the only one uncomfortable with this, right?

.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #my vibe is that we can describe only what we can observe #ie: shakespeare wrote a love sonnet to a man but also did so to women #and we believe based on this and other details that he likely experienced attraction to both men and women #i also think it's okay to say 'based on what we know this individual *may have* identified as bisexual in modern days' #or 'this individual was identified as female in the early part of their life but at some point publicly presented as male. he requested #to be known as such to his dying days. as such we refer to him with the pronouns he last appeared to prefer. while we cannot be certain #as to how this individual would identify himself in modern days - we strongly suspect he would consider himself transmasc' #things like that y'know? #but also if you consistently and exclusively apply this to particular experiences (cough cough terfs and ppl who were probs trans) #that's a great way to observe that you should listen more to that community and their experiences and how they may relate to that person #(careful in particular with people claiming historical individuals as butch when they explicitly did not identify themselves as women) #(because terfs have a... well. rather intense push for that usually.)

#ok sorry but i still can't get over that family history story #been thinking about it all day #during apples to apples the words 'stunning' and 'fast' came up #and my brother joked 'our great-great-grandmother apparently' #and he's not wrong #from her pov the story's even wilder #she really just saw what she wanted and took her shot #knew him for three days #and then *she* proposed to *him* #during what was apparently their first private conversation *ever* #and it worked! #if you put that in historical fiction about the 1880s people would call it unrealistic #talking about the restrictions on women or whatever #well apparently nobody told her that she was oppressed #she was too busy seizing the life she wanted

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

Once in a while I'm sad about an expression that doesn't exist in Spanish. Then I remember how the so hated Spanish Royal Academy has made concerted efforts ever since it came into existence to sustain and fortify the cohesion between written and spoken Spanish, and that they have a complete dictionary, accessible for free through both desktop and app (a free, no ads, no paywall app, may I add) which includes etymologies, regional definitions (and where specifically do they apply), and idioms. And the feeling goes away.

#languages #spanish #LISTEN #i know so many people hate the rae for historical reasons and because of their strong pro Spain #and also language-conservative #but every day I think about how much easier writing in English would be if the Oxford dictionary or the Merriam Webster #had definitions classified like the DLE does #yes I need the etymology first and then a classified list of definitions clarifying where a word is used in which way #if the RAE can #then one of these should be able to as well
