#Beard History

[deadpresidents]

Since someone else asked a question about presidential facial hair, I noticed in some pictures Benjamin Harrison had a longer, somewhat stringier beard, while in other pictures, his beard seemed shorter. When were those times in relation to his presidency?

I'm not 100% sure on Benjamin Harrison. He definitely had a longer beard when he was younger and serving as a General during the Civil War, but there are photos of him with longer and shorter beards when he was an older man.

This is a photo of Harrison being sworn in as President in 1889, but you can't really tell how long his beard is at that time because he's bundled up from the weather (he obviously learned a lesson from his grandfather's fatal mistake at the 1841 inauguration):

He definitely had a shorter beard in the following photo, which also features his Secretary of States James G. Blaine. Blaine resigned due to failing health and died before Harrison's term ended, so the photo is almost certainly during Harrison's Presidency, possibly from 1889:

So, President Harrison did have a shorter beard at least at some point during his time in the White House. I just don't know if he wore different styles throughout his Presidency.

Tolkien in the 30s: the elves have beautiful long hair regardless of gender even tho a man having long hair in the 30s would be seen as an egregious sign of gender noncomformity at best

Amazon rn: boy elves have short hair girl elves have long hair because this adaptation is about girlboss galadriel

#lotr #rings of power #That is not to even touch on the missing bearded lady dwarfs #Not to be a Tolkien purist but if the man spends thousand of words describing the practices and cultures and food and history of a setting #Maybe #That has something to say #Maybe the curtains are blue for a reason #Maybe the elves have long hair for REASON and taking that away for???? Literally nothing is shit #Like what is rop saying with its short hair elves??? Nothing they are saying nothing

#watcher #puppet history #shane madej #the professor #alrighty time to scream about this now #when i first saw it it kind of took my breath away #like i saw this beautiful man and i think i physically slapped my desk once or twice #it's just such a good look #something about that longer hair and the longer beard and the rolled-up sleeves #makes me feel extra queer #also the dark hair on his arms and the intense eyes #lord christ have mercy on me #and then he explained how he built the theater #and he was so proud #and it was so gorgeous #and he put so much thought and effort into it #this was in 2020 i believe #and i am still not over it

Happy birthday Wilfred Owen! (b. 18th March 1893) ↳  Know that since mid-September, when you still regarded me as a tiresome little knocker on your door, I held you as Keats + Christ + Elijah + my Colonel + my father-confessor + Amenophis IV in profile. What's that mathematically? In effect it is this: that I love you, dispassionately, so much, so very much, dear Fellow, that the blasting little smile you wear on reading this can't hurt me in the least. If you consider what the above Names have severally done for me, you will know what you are doing. And you have fixed my Life – however short. You did not light me: I was always a mad comet; but you have fixed me. I spun round you a satellite for a month, but I shall swing out soon, a dark star in the orbit where you will blaze.

Can we talk about how Gortash commissioned a literal sculpture of how Bane looked in their first dream visit, and displays it prominently in his office??

*This is a bust of the god Bane as he first appeared to Gortash in dreams, and was then described to a Rivington sculptor.*

#bg3 #enver gortash #gortash #actually all of the statue choices are fascinating on a character level #like one of the founder of the Counting House noting he built himself from nothing and held onto disdain for the other patriars #or the one about the founder of the Flaming Fist who was seen as cruel and hard-handed at the time but history remembered kindly #the in-game model for the Bane statue looks the same as the other statues of men by the way #so not necessarily reflective of how Bane looked in the dream #but I'm going to imagine a big glorious beard anyway!!!

Most people know Stede and Ed are both based on real people.

Less people know that Stede Bonnet was hung to death in December 1718 and Edward Teach was killed in battle with sailors November 1718.

And S1 is set in 1717.

This worries me for s2 or future seasons.
