do you have any more pics from The Ball? it sounds like so much fun🐣

I've been drowning in pics and tags over on insta that I forgot how my tumblr by comparison is completely devoid of material, so in short: yes i have loads!! and it was so much fun! I am now going to evily use your kind ask to make a massive photo-heavy post going through the main parts of the trip, but first here's the official group photo at the middle of the night:

it was in an actual georgian era assembly room so it was massive and beautiful, w a tiny orchestra and a dance masster who called the start of the dances so everyone felt confident in what they were doing. The vibes were immensse and so supportive and positive, im a little introverted idiot nerd and even I felt the urge to ask random strangers if they wanted to dance, the vibes were just that welcoming.

Most of the dress-wearers had slaved over their own dresses to fit them into the specified dress code of 1890-1902, so there were ome AMAZING gowns!! I swear mosst of my interactions with people just started w me gassping and going oh my god your dress is amazing did you make it yourself(and the answer was always yes)

if you want to see picss of all the fits, this album has almost everyone

below the cut, personal pics with my squad because this wasnt just a ball but a whole intense weekend

So first of all, THIS is where we were fucking staying, a three story georgian mansion converted into an airbnb, fully equipped with a long-table dining room, a fancy study and a lounge. It was fucking INSANE and we were 13 people staying there, only 5 of which I’d even met before so it wass absolutely wild, but we extremely quickly all made friends and essentially it was such a good vibe of people having doors open to their room so you could alwayss stick your nose in and say hi, see what they’re doing and so on.

This was sort of the usual vibe, me pissing around in my dressing gown on the staircase, constantly bothering everyone else lol and yes im holding a glass of whisky because for those of us who drank, we were absolutely a daydrinking household and it was great

City itself was also just inssanely pretty?? Completely stuffed w fancy georgian houses, unhinged

here’s me and a new friend walking to the ball, waiting for the insane drivers in this city to calm tf down so we can cross

The hallway in the assembly roomss with people milling about, it is in normal dayss a museum hence the ssignage, which tbh just makess it so cool that we actually get to vibe there!!

condolences to my friend for this bad picture of him, but aside from dancing a lot of the ball was also just eating, drinking and socializing. The atmossphere was incredibly welcoming and I got to know so many people just by complimenting their outfitss or them complimenting mine. It’s like the vibe of a nerd convention but everyone also i dressed to the nines

After party vibess in the lounge, I have no memory of having the fez put on my head or who brought it with?? but u know, happens

And here’s most of the gang the day after, milling around town waiting for our respective trains. It was such a journey and an abssolutely wild time.

#the over active spleen #ballposting #i should prob also note that me attending this thing was something i figured out 1.5 months before it happened #ssomeone in the group hopped off of the ball and my friends were like viktor plss come you can stay with uss!!#and ssince ball + airbnb would be 260 quid(YIKES) i was extremely hesitant #extremely fortuitously a writing commission came along just after this all got dropped on me which could cover the whole thing #so i said yes to the writing comm and ssaid to myself this is a once in a lifetime thing #and said yes to go and i do not regret a single fucking ssecond of that
