Hello there! Someone asked for some middle- and lower-class fashions, and I think I have an ok resource? This website (https://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/index.php/history/street_cries) has digitised a lot of books that were popular in the 19th century of "old street cries," which documented (idk how accurately) different street sellers and their jingles they would use to attract customers. They have wonderfully lively illustrations of working-class garb, mostly in the 19th century. Some of the books on this website were produced much later than the period they illustrate (i.e. published in the 1860s but about street cries of the 1700s) while others were produced more at the same time. There's a lot of material but the search thingy on the left hand side is pretty handy!

Hope this helps! I'm a big fan of both your blogs and look forward to seeing what variety happens with the fashion polls 💖💐

hello my darling!

thank you for reaching out! and thank you so much for your sweet words 🥰🥰 I'm really glad you're enjoying my blogs!! ☺️☺️

and omg thank you for this fantastic resource! "street cries" were a genre I was aware of, but I hadn't thought of using them to source fashion images, so this is brilliant! 💕💕

the school where I got my masters degree had a really amazing special collections library, and they had a great collection of street cries, chapbooks, broadsides, and other ephemera documenting the popular culture of london throughout the 19th century. and while I was there, they had put on a little exhibition of some of that material, which led me to a chapbook about a sensationalized murder with some really wild images in it. anyway, that led me to develop my final research project for my art history theory class where I focused on depictions of criminals - specifically murderers - in the late victorian london press and the ways in which they constructed the visuality of "criminality." I didn't actually end up using any street cries in that final paper, but I still thought it was a cool connection!

but thank you so much again! I'm very excited to put some of these into a poll!! ☺️☺️

have a fantastic day! 💕💖💕💖

Things friends can't do according to allos!

(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe.)

Give each other meaningful gifts

Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes

Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)

Match clothes or accessories

Hold hands for 'too long' (???)

Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)

Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'

Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands

Lean onto the other emotionally and physically

Smile in one another's presence

Laugh at each others jokes

Give genuine advice

Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc

Ask how the others doing

I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

#hey guys is it inherently romantic to uh *checks notes* remember your friends' birthdays? #what the fuck do friendships look like if you can't LAUGH AT THEIR JOKES????? #god some allo people are fucking weird #this actually made me laugh a lot #aromantic asexual #aro ace #are we queuing for something?

this may just be me going into overanalysis mode but i feel like the choreography of spellcasting can tell you so much about a magic user. a snap of the fingers, for example, implies confidence, even arrogance, while hands thrust out and straining to the fingertips suggests desperation, throwing one's whole body into the spell as though hoping the physical effort will make a difference. rapid, jerky body language tells you that a spellcaster is passionate and reckless, while graceful, fluid movements demonstrate calm and concentration. some magic users may choose to stomp their feet or clap their hands when casting, channeling power through percussive motion, whilst others may see magic as a tool separate from the self, and focus it through objects like a wand or staff. a new spellcaster just coming into their power may be tentative and slow, but a practiced study of magic will be able to rely on muscle memory to guide them.
