[daguerreotyping]

Daguerreotype portrait of Commander Edward Hay, R. N., photographed by Ross & Thomson in Edinburgh, Scotland c. 1847-60.

A daguerreotype is capable of capturing greater depth and finer detail than any other photographic process of its time—perhaps even of our time—but it comes with the catch that, as the surface is silver-coated copper polished to a mirror finish, you must tilt it to just the right angle to see the image and not the mirror. You’ve got to catch the light, avoid the glare, dodge your own reflection while also trying to get as direct a view as possible—it’s a bit exasperating, a bit enchanting. And to photograph a daguerreotype straight on without catching your own reflection, you’ll need to use a black board with a hole for your camera lens.

This quality of the daguerreotype was not the origin of the idea that vampires can’t be photographed or reflected in mirrors, as that lore dates to Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1897, well after daguerreotypes had been replaced by less fiddly processes—and Stoker’s notes even specify that one “could not codak” or even paint a portrait of Dracula. Still, this is what daguerreotypes make me think of—I like to imagine that a vampire would appear in a daguerreotype not as a blank space but rather the silvery hint of a figure that somehow never quite coalesces into the clear image that you know is there no matter how you turn the plate.

the scene in epel's second birthday vignette where floyd gave him the watch absolutely ruined me btw. like ik not everybody headcanons epel as trans but as someone who does it just put such a fine point on his struggle with being seen as masculine, like a fancy wristwatch wouldnt particularly help him look strong enough to overcome his bullies or whatever its literally just. something a man would own. and he gets so overjoyed. because he consistently has to *prove* that he wants to be masculine despite his appearance; even more sensitive characters like deuce take a while to catch on to the fact, and then here he gets the watch as a gift & gets called handsome without asking for it. even though its a happy scene it fucked me up so bad 😭

#txt #THATS ANOTHER THING i think contributes to his starting to fit in at pomefiore that ppl rarely bring up bc its most clear in this specific #card's vignettes & homescreen lines: epel really does care about his appearance!! and we see him start to have more fun with it & experiment #with style more; but it doesn't come across during the main story when he's just in his school uniform that vil arranged for him #and like. if you had Only read the harveston event & the main story i can kinda see where the 'epel is innately okay with feminine stuff & #vil is right for suppressing his desire to be masculine!!' argument comes from #but like. even if his affinity for masculinity is at any point little more than a rejection of femininity. his budding interest in masculine #*fashion* shows that his desired gender presentation is its own fully formed thing and not just the absence/hatred of something else #ergo he fits pomefiores principles of beauty & pride #does this make any sense. tumblr tags are the worst place to write an essay

I kind of hate that, as a historian, my knowledge bank is composed of two very contrasting things:

genocide/ethnic cleansing

historical textiles and fashion

like great, I can tell you about when x tried to kill a bunch of people or you can have me look at your favorite dumbass’ outfit and i can tell you all about a bunch of crazy little details you probably have no clue even existed

#ooc #[ like raphael’s outfit is interesting to me for example ] #[ because it looks like it would high renaissance and it’s not ] #[ his outfit is from late medieval spanish aristocrat fashion ] #[ worn during the formative years of the inquisition ] #[ the details on his sleeves are called guarding and they came into fashion in the last two decades of the 1400’s ] #[ they’re meant to be evocative of wartime mending by soldiers having to stitch their uniforms back into serviceable condition ] #[ high class nobles slashed their garments to evoke the look and then sewed in new pieces ] #[ this is how passementerie got started which is where lace-making got its start ] #[ most often as panel pieces to insert for guards and then later as their own separate thing ] #[ another fun detail: that was a very pivotal time in spanish history ] #[ the fashion would peak around the reign of joanna of castile ] #[ her son would go on to become not only a king of spain but the holy roman emperor ] #[ textiles: lot of fun nuances can be put into characters without having to say a thing ]

But why does maomao wear ming dynasty aoqun when p much everyone else is wearing tang-ish dynasty stuff

#finished whatevers out of apothecary diaries and its very neat but im hmm #unless aoqun was around in tang as well #the protagonism of not having to wear the same uniform as everyone else most of the time #so fashionable shes ahead by at least a couple dynasties

Sometimes I get insecure about my butchness bcos I'm not as put together abt it as some butches I see online. and then i leave my bedroom and I'm like oh lol how did I think I was anything else

#like even at school ive not seen a single other Butch yknow. theres some transmasc kids and they pog but its not the same yknow #like even comparing myself to my relativelt unkempt female friends i feel butch #its in the confidence its in the lack of a bra its in the fatness its in the beard #i wore the bare minimum school uniform and i unbuttoned my shirt to show my tshirt all casual whenever i could get away w it #even going to family gatherings n shit #my sisters wear 'fashionable' hoodies and leggings and ill wear a button-up and jeans and it makes me feel Different #< mixed statement but mostly neutral #like im fully butch on the side of 'slobby and cant be bothered to work to fit female gender norms' but masc trending regardless

Having a special interest in a character with an unfortunate design means when i see redesigns that lean into the unfortunate aspects I am fully aware that I'm the only one who is aware of this and I have to bear the knowledge and just keep scrolling because it is not worth it

#kiyos outfit is indeed based off of a fit from an old vis. kei music video. like almost entirely lifted #but a lot of vkei pulls from military outfits for fashion inspo #kiyos outfit at a distance can easily resemble a w.w.2 uniform. the red armband symbolizing a club leader has no place in the outfit #because hes not a club leader #if he had any other outfit the armband would not raise any eyebrows because its anime #but paired with the military adjacent uniform whether intentional or not it is suuuuuch a big accident on the designers part lol #and lore wise kiyo would know this! he is an anthropologist. which could open another can of worms #anyway what im getting at is #i see a lot of designs that really lean heavily into the militaristic design it lends itself to #and yes while the designs look good #its just sort of like kok*chis hat problem times ten #and its like i know a lot of people in this fandom are teenagers and rhe critical thinking braincell is still kicking in #but i see it A LOT in mastermind designs as well #reallt this is a bit of a nonissue but. its something else to keep in mind about kiyo and his design when showing him off to ppl #because ive had more than one non v3/dr fan express initial apprehension at his design for these reasons #its 7:30 in the morning

goths rejoyce, there's a fuckoff long (fake) peal necklace available at kmart for like $8

#you can double it over its great #I'm tempted to wear it to work #but I wear a polo uniform shirt to work #so I'd look like an absolute meme like that tiktok audio where its like #I have to go to work :( #and the person transitions from looking banger to trying to incorporate as much of their fashion as physically possibble within the #constraints of their uniform restrictions

[leafyloveslaughing]

bro. i'll appreciate pretty much any content that's consistent but damn, historical manhwa's where the fashion is consistent? pop off.

#i dont read them that much but when they put in the thought you def notice T.T #the most notable ones are ill be the matriarch in this life and a stepmothers marchen like omg #even if there's the few off artistic choices IT IS LARGELY CONSISTENT they stick to an era and they nail it !!! #of course this isnt to drag on other historical manhwa. i love any pretty outfit when i see them. but it just hits different ok 😭 #im just saying this as someone who never studied a piece of fashion history in their life but watched a lot of videos leave me alone- #in illbethematriarchinthislife. the womens wear consist of long dresses that sinch HIGH. just below the breasts. jane austen era i think #AND THE MENS WEAR IS ALSO CONSISTENT !! GOOD LORD !! long shirts. FLAT. not a synched waist to be seen here. no sir. #unless your wearing a uniform jacket then like. maybe a little sinch. just a little. #in astepmothersmarchen. womens wear are BEAUTIFUL. floofy VERY FLOOFY SKIRTS. i swear they gigantic #again i didnt study fashion history so idk the exact era but the SILHOUTTE. chefs kiss. distinction is so important #really frilly tops too. i dont think ive seen a hard lined triangle sinched waist yet. with like a visible corset i mean? thats another era #OOOH- GOING BACK TO illbethematriarchinthislife. the womens wears sleeves?!?! lovely. mostly puffed shoulders with slim long sleeves. #so going by that im now no longer sure if its jane austen era? since that era was puffed shoulder sleeves with really long gloves instead- #i mean they couldve also gone straight up sleeveless but what do i know T.T #their skirts also. unlike jane austen era. very big !! with a part split in the middle like a triangle to reveal only more skirt #i dont have the vocabulary for this... #back to astepmothermarchen skirts. floofy at the sides. lots of frills. they appear round but i wouldnt be surprised if like- #similarities with historical france dresses show up? with the really long sides you know #idk much about the mens wear in this one- #the men wear uniform esque style. casual wears are long poofy sleeves with them white loose fabric #really sinched at the waist tho but im not sure if its the fashion or just the artstyle? #a stepmother's marchen #i'll be the matriarch in this life #if anyone has any recs pls share them !! or any added detail because again. not a braincell in sight with this one XD #hearing people who study about fashion history is such a blast !! theyre all so passionate T.T #most of the historical manhwa ive read are european centirc but the asia centric ones? slay

[schn-tgai-scripted]

Okay but why is it a skant? Skirt pant? Like a long skirt but with pant dividers between? Weird. We called them skorts when I was a lass. Skirt short. Shorts with a false skirt front. Skant as in scantly clad? Not moreso than a skort delivers. Less scant than a skort. Skort uniform. They're skorts.

#its minute but its my minute issue #i wore skorts #ive never seen a skant for sale #i agree with and support every point of why the shorty short uniform is important #bit its not a skant in fashion terms is it #its a skort #am i like #missing a huge aspect in trek terminology #or is trek terminology missing a huge point in established fashion norms?
