watching Knight chuuya undress and dispose of his armour while you're waiting for him to crawl into bed beside you and you get the treat of seeing him in the skintight black covers they use under the amour, the slight turtle neck and watching as he rolls up his sleeves to put his hair up so it's not too tangled in the morning
getting to feel his hands wrap around your waist and pull you close to him as he mumbles in a groggy tone about how tired he is from work, how he's so glad he can come home to you. his hand traces up to cup your cheek, its slightly rough from combat, you can assume. but its so warm and he knows you enjoy it on you.
being pulled into a kiss and getting to feel him subconsciously wrap a hand around your neck, pulling you closer while he drums on the sides of your neck..... sigh ........

Agosufsjdja oh 🌱 anon your mind,,,, you make me WEAK!! Watching his deft fingers undo all the clasps and straps holding his armour on, the heavy clanks of each piece as he sets them down, the gentle clinking of chainmail as he lifts it over his head. Stripping off the tunic he's wearing underneath and hastily shrugging on his bedclothes before he gets into bed with you. His hands are rough from training and yours rough with house and yardwork but neither of you mind, his fingers find their place around your neck and waist as he kisses you desperately, murmuring how much he missed you.

I'm only a couple of chapters into the "I feel you linger in the air" novel, but so far I can definitely recommend it! The English translation is pretty well done and the book has the same calm atmosphere as the series, it allows you to get really immersed in the plot. If you're a history fan like me, you'll also have good time reading this novel, cause they sprinkled in some historical facts and the description of clothes and architecture seems pretty accurate. They changed a couple of things for the series, but it's all pretty plausible (it's mostly to reduce the number of actors and locations needed). Right now I'm at the point were Jom finally gets to live together with Khun Yai and my boy Yai is already so whipped meanwhile Jom is totally clueless lol Can't wait for all the lovey-doveness to unfold 💕

i hope this isnt too random and is something you can help me with--i'm needing a reference of someone around the 1870s-1880s running, like a dull on sprint, in a bustle dress. would that even be possible? would she just be lifting the dress part up and have the layers underneath be showing? would she pull up the crinoline (if those were worn at the time, i'm sorry i'm too lazy to research atm) as well? i hope the question isnt too broad or confusing. thank you so much!!!!
Hi! Not at all too broad or confusing question!
I'm assuming you mean the Second Bustle Era dress, since it's the more well known and iconic bustle style. The First Bustle Era was roungly the first half of 1870s, then there was Natural Form Era in the middle and the Second Bustle Era was most of 1880s. The two bustle eras were distinctive in style, but they mostly had similar layers. To illustrate the difference here's a fashion plate from the First Bustle Era and another from the second.
Yes you could run in a bustle dress. As you see especially in the Second Bustle Era dresses, the hem didn't quite reach the ground, which is really the the thing that will get in your way, if it would. As someone who has worn several different full length evening dresses (not very historical though but that's beside the point) and ran and danced in them, I can say the issues only really come when the hem reatches the ground. Then lifting the hem becomes necessary.
A type of cage crinoline was indeed used with the bustle dress, called bustle cage. Unlike the typical crinoline it was only in the back, shaped similarly as 18th century side panniers, because that's where all the volume was, so it wouldn't get in the way when running. There are though some examples of bustle cages that did go all around and simply were more volumous in the back, but I haven't seen any of them being dated into 1880s. The first bustle cage below is from 1887 and the second is from 1870-72.
A full crinoline though actually helps moving around and running. It was one of the reasons why it become so quickly so widely used in 1850s. It carries the fabric of the dresses keeping them away from the feet.
Even when lifting the hem isn't necessary, it's likely that while running the petticoat would show at least a bit. Shift hem wouldn't likely be seen as it was a bit shorter and the first layer. Petticoat was worn over the bustle cage and would help giving the fashionable silhouette, though some skirts would have a foundation skirt attached to them and then separate petticoat wasn't needed. It was most often white and had more volume in the back often in shape of ruffles. Here's couple of examples, first from 1883 and second from 1886.
I thought primary source references could be easiest to find regarding dancing and tennis. I thought it might give a nice range of different types of dresses. I didn't find useful painting of dancing in Second Bustle Era gowns, but this one from the First Bustle Era is close enough, I think.
I found two paintings depicting tennis in bustle gowns, one from the First and another from the Second Bustle Era.
Tennis was played in the typical summer day dress, which for tennis were traditionally white. So the outfit would have all of the layers like you'd normally have and the dress would be from light breethable materials, light cotton usually, and sometimes a little more loose fitting, so it does work as a good reference for how to move in an average day dress.
Lastly I'll link here a video from Prior Attire channel, where she dresses up in about 1885 dress for tennis and demostrates playing tennis in it. It shows really well how that type of dress moves and how you can pretty easily move and run in it without having to really do anything about it. The full demonstration starts around 23:37 mark, but the full video is useful in showing all the layers that goes into it.

frankly this is. so insidious. for reference: this is sam adams telling connor that he should lead their little raid to dump the tea in the harbour. it's phrased innocently enough, they're all pals sticking it to the british! but within both historical and in-game context, it has really awful implications.
on the historical side, white colonists actually did dress up as mohawk people for the boston tea party. they darkened their faces with soot and put on native attire. sources on why they did this seem to vary, but no matter what the motivation, it's still not a great fucking thing to do! all accounts indicate there were no actual mohawk people involved, just colonists using their identity as a tool for their own ends. and here, adams is asking the only actual mohawk man among them — who is seventeen years old at this point, by the way — to be the leader of their attack. feels a bit gross!
and then, within the game context, adams knows that connor was already targeted and blamed for an attack he had no hand in. when connor was only thirteen, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and ended up blamed for inciting part of the boston massacre. adams was the one who helped him get out of that mess. so adams is fully aware that it's not only possible for connor to be seized on as a scapegoat, it already happened before. and yet. for their fun little raid on the tea ships, he's actively choosing to put a mohawk teenager at the head of the attack while other white colonists smear their faces with coal and put on native attire.
not great, sam!
