🍭 for the book cas meme!

🍭 - Create a Sim based on a book you enjoyed as a child.

Let it be known that I was the biggest bookworm back in the day, so there were definitely a lot of possible options for this one! I toyed with possibly making Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables) or Jo March (Little Women), but ultimately decided to go with Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie (and the entire Little House series as a whole) as I'm certain my eight year old self would not forgive me if I didn't. 😂😂

#y'all don't even know okay #i was OBSESSED with these books a child #i even had paper dolls of the entire Ingalls family #and a LH themed cookbook #and a craftbook #i also watched the 1970s show which #admittedly i still do #mainly for gameplay inspo but also because i just really like it #honestly might make the rest of the family someday #asks #answered #book inspired CAS meme #ask meme #1870s

The Mannequins Haunting the John Lawson House 

Sitting on the porch outside the historic John Lawson House, three mannequins sat on the porch for over a decade. No one really knew who lived there, or why the mannequins were there. Read the strange story at Moonmausoleum.

Sitting on the porch outside the historic John Lawson House, three mannequins sat on the porch for over a decade. No one really knew who lived there, or why the mannequins were there. And no one really saw when or if someone came and moved the mannequins’ positions, clothes and wigs.  The old house is found in Wappingers Falls in New York and has probably seen its fair share since it was first…

Play dress up

Kanato Sakamaki x you

Summary- ….kanato dresses you up? (DUH)

Can be read as fem reader, but anyone can wear a dress, so idk go crazy (*´-`)

Warning: UNEDITED - This isn’t really meant to be a romance, but like killing stalking romanticize it as you wish (jk!… it’s…it’s a joke) abuse!! he probably has u held captive - I think that's it?? One curse word???

Art made by me *im proud of it so praise me* (jk bit I did draw it like 5 in the morning so leave it be)

------------

Your stomach churns as you try to still your already fast beating heart and suppress the shaking fear you felt.

Sitting on a purple velvet chair you watched nervously as the violet haired creep delicately painted your nails, a sapphire blue. His big and dull eyes fixated on your hand that rested in his deadly pale ones, God forbid you even whimper when he makes a mistake and scratches rather harshly at your fingers.

“Doesn’t this color look good on her, Teddy?” Kanato spoke to the bear on your lap. “ I think so...” He mumbles to himself before blowing on the wet polish. “there you go! my doll looks too pretty~” he praised, and you could shiver at his nickname for you a reminder that you are nothing more than a toy to him. You're a living breathing doll he can treat however he likes with no pity or remorse.

The slim man grabbed your beaten up calf. You nearly yelped as he pressed gently at the fresh blue bruise and cuts, maybe testing for a reaction just so he was an excuse to get violent, but it's not like he needed one. Putting your foot so gently on his knee, he finally looked up at you, his eyes sending a cold wave over your body, his smile exposing those white fangs of his that hurt just by looking at them. “See? You look lovely in blue.” He spoke with such glee, almost taunting and playing with you, for he knows if you try to even push him away, he can force you back into submission.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you hate it?” His mood shifted and his smile dropped to a snarl nails digging at your skin. Opening your dry mouth, you spoke. “I like it.” A simple sentence sending him back to his toothy grin. “I’m glad because I like it too!” He gleefully spoke, loosening his grip on you.

He painted your toe nails next and you here the alarms in your head ring. A few days ago he was shaving your legs pressing a little to tightly he sliced your skin and as a reaction to the pain you yelped and kicked away only for him to grab you in anger yelling insults and cut at your skin till you where covered in red dripping beads of blood that he will lick at. But today, he had no weapons with him other than his teeth and a hands

Before you knew it, he was done with his little forced manicure and pulled out a dress that was on the side of a table. He turned to you and spoke, "Come here." You reluctantly got up off your seat shifting a bit as you felt your sore muscles and skin ache like your whole body was one big bruise and with every step was a throbbing pain sent from your feet to your head.

"Do you know what kind of dress this is?" He spoke as be pressed it to your body. You would roll your eyes and sigh if that action wouldn't lead him to poke your eyes out with a needle or something. You spoke "u-um blue?" What an idiotic answer for an idiotic question. "Wrong! It's a dress modeled after the ones of the 1870s." He said, leaning into your face his tired eyes looking to your nervous ones. "I got it costumly made for you, so it'll fit you perfectly." You stare back at him and gulp down any of your insults.

You were finally dressed corset on not so tightly and flat velvet shoes on because he knows your feet hurt? For a guy that beats the shit out of you often, he has a weird way to care for you. While you stare in the full body mirror, you were surprised the dress was very beautiful and detailed black lace on the edges of the short sleeve and a v-like that exposes your neck and colorbones probably for easy access but to top it of Kanato places a tear drop amethyst necklace with a chain of your preferred type of metal. How did he know that was your favorite?You hold the jewel in your hand, running your finger on the chain.

"Do you like it?" He said as he hugged at his teddy. And you nodded, tilting your head as you admire yourself before you spoke.

"...yes its...beautiful."

Cécile and Marie-Grace were released alongside the best friends line of dolls, and are a pretty transparent gimmick to get people to buy two dolls at once. That being said, I actually kind of love their collection.

Their story is set in New Orleans in 1853, which is a pretty great way to represent the Antebellum South without having a Scarlett O’Hara doll. New Orleans was one of the few places in the south with a robust middle class. Everywhere else had tremendous wealth inequality with absurdly rich plantation-owners, barely surviving poor Whites, and slaves.

Cécile is of the gens de coleur libre, that is, the free people of color, a class of New Orleans citizens born out of the plaçage system in which White men would take women of color as informal second wives. Plaçees held a really interesting position, as they could legally claim inheritance once their patron died, and the children born of plaçage could be named heir of an estate. Plaçees were also allowed to develop assets and run small businesses. All of this created a level of generational wealth that was unique among African-Americans at the time. Today, their descendants are known as Creoles.

As far as Marie-Grace goes, I don’t think she’s Cajun, just French-American. Cajuns are a specific group, the Catholic descendants of the French colonizers of Acadia, now called Nova Scotia, who were forced by the British out of the home. They settled mostly in the fertile Mississippi delta, and maintained a rural, somewhat insular way of life. Marie-Grace is the city-dwelling daughter of a doctor, so probably just the descendant of regular French citizens who settled in New Orleans.

Hair-wise, this is the era when girls tied their hair up with rags at night to have fat sausage curls in the morning. Most photographs and paintings that I’ve seen of Black girls in the era show them with their hair tied up, but there are a few who had curls.

Marie-Grace’s face-framing curls are a little bit more Jan Brady than 1850s, but it’s cute on her, so I’ll give her credit for that. The long hair isn’t inaccurate.

There’s something about Cécile’s dress that keeps saying “wrong” but I can’t quite put my finger on it. A more accurate dress would be more along the lines of something like this:

(The Victoria & Albert Museum)

(The Victoria & Albert Museum)

(New York Historical Society)

Marie-Grace’s dress seems to have been inspired by this portrait of Creole children:

(credit to @in-pleasant-company​ for finding it)

Cécile’s pillbox hat is a style that was adopted more in the late 1860s and 1870s. A more accurate hat would also have her in a “coal scoop” bonnet.

Her gloves, however, are accurate and adorable!

(The Met Museum)

Marie-Grace is wearing a kind of sun hat that was popular for children:

(The Met Museum)

Marie-Grace’s fan looks typical of the French fans that were popular at the time. They were usually painted with pretty pastoral scenes instead of flowers, however, although Chinese fans at the time frequently had floral themes.

(The Philadelphia Museum of Art)

(The Victoria & Albert Museum)

The shoes are definitely late Victorian rather than 1850s. Fine city ladies in the 1850s would be wearing boots made out of silk with leather soles:

Who wants a Brimfield Haul Post? (She said rhetorically)

For anyone who doesn’t know, the Brimfield antiques fair is a thrice – per – year event in Brimfield, Massachusetts, USA Where tons of antique dealers set up over like 25 massive fields for five days. It’s amazing, and also a bit nuts, and I try to make it to every one if possible. I hit up the September iteration on Wednesday, and here are my treasures:

Meet Lily! A tiny doll head made by the Simon and Halbig firm c. 1890-1920 (model 1160). Her wig was probably cut by one of her previous owners, not like that originally, so I plan to get her a new one. I sort of like her with short hair, though- perhaps she’s going to be a fashionable Regency lady instead of depicting her actual era. There’s no helping those bangs, though, so I’m going to have to change it up entirely.

GOTH-ASS HAT. Probably circa 1870s – 80s. I’m going to have to play around with it to get the balance with my hairstyle right, but I have high hopes. Especially a huge fan of the little sparkly butterfly detail. (not just for Crimson Peak reasons – butterflies are something of a family symbol for me).

This cape. Guys. This c a p e. Silk-velvet with gold braid designs. I CANNOT. The lining has some holes, and maybe synthetic/replaced anyway, but I can fix that. Oh, and did I mention I got it for $40?!

(capes and cloaks can be very hard to date, but I would bet it’s not later than the 1920s. And more likely earlier)

ohhmygoddd i just realized something that completely changed my perspective ... so i have this dollhouse, right? it's been passed down for like five generations of my family since like 1879, and i've had it since i was a little girl. i used the furniture and porcelain dolls for a stop motion video in high school lol

anyways so it's stuff from the 1870s-1920s, and home made clothes and updated items from the 50s. and it includes this big white kitchen thing, like a kitchen countertop and a wooden oven and fire all in one. and it kind of didn't fit the aesthetics of rest of the kitchen but i kept it in.

and then i went to a museum a few weeks ago with my mom and we saw the exact same kitchen in a really old house!!

and get this!! it's from the 1600s!! and i was just like Oh cool neat that's the exact same kitchen thing my dollhouse has! and JUST NOW i was thinking about it and realized that to me it feels sooo old, but to people in the 1800s it wasn't that long ago? just like i don't see the 1800s as something unfathomably long agp. 1800s? telegrams. 1600s? witch burnings. plus i know of some of my relatives from the 1800s and who they were. i don't know anything about the 1600s family tree. but to my great great something grandmother in the 1800s the 1600s were pretty close!! and JUST like we today have a lot of victorian inspired furniture and clothing and aesthetics, they probably had some of that with the 1600s. hence the dollhouse kitchen. so if some current bougie kid has a 1800s dollhouse made in our time, a bougie kid back then had a 1600s dollhouse!! but i still have the 1600s version!!!

#fuck this is actually a big point towards having a kid or heir someday #i have to pass down the ancient stuff #mine #yes i'm stoned no i will not proofread

Buffalo Horn Cup from Kaya's Accessories

Nez Perce Horn Cup, early/mid 1900s, sold by Allard Auctions in 2018 information via iCollector

húusus 'ewyíin (Wounded Head's) Drinking Cup, 1870, Museum of Anthropology at Washington State University via the Plateau Peoples' Web Portal

This doll sized cup is almost certainly based on the one from this 2018 auction. Which means that American Girl does rely on auctions for its research from time to time. If any of the information about the item is actually factually correct remains to be seen. Additionally, once items are purchased by private collectors, they are not subject to the intense study that objects purchased by museums receive. Valuable context that can be provided from members of the Native American nation the objects are associated with can be lost.

What I can tell you is that the Plateau Peoples' Web Portal has two horn cups that are associated with the Nez Perce. One of them is a cup that was made and used by Nez Perce warrior húusus 'ewyíin (Wounded Head). The cup is decorated with carved dots painted red which each represent a life lost during ‘ickum’kiléelixpe (The Battle of the Big Hole) in August 1877. 63 dots represent 10 women, 21 children, and 32 men. A solitary dot represents the infant daughter of húusus 'ewyíin (Wounded Head), who was also killed.

Which just goes to show that a cup can be more than merely a cup.
