#like so many period pieces

[densewentz]

where is my Dreamling Bridgerton!au with Diamond of the Season Dream and rakish Duke Gadling who pretend to form an attachment after Dream's meddling sibling destroys his marriage prospects and he is left pursued by none but the wretched Lord Burgess

#sorry but i unapologetically love bridgerton #its a period piece fake dating au sprinkled with courtly love and intrigue #and there are so many nuances in s1 that could be used in a Dreamling au #Dreamling #dream must simply marry the man who feels like his dearest friend

oh one really cool thing i think i never noticed or really considered when I played the game, is that the Knight Academy rooms are actually a big room, divided in two with a wooden room divider in the middle. I have noticed that before, but what I didn't notice is that in Groose's shared room, Groose has presumably pushed the divider over so he has extra room for all his workout equipment, and just, space, meanwhile Cawlin and Strich are sharing that teeny room on the other half, but they also have a fancy golden couch for some reason, and I guess that makes up for it.

note: i did some looking through the other characters' rooms and houses, to see if this was indeed a fancy gold couch, or just a regular couch. after a very quick scan, I found that not only did i not find another golden couch, there was in fact only one couch of any kind that i could find in anyone's house (in rupin's house apparently, and its not gold)

also there's this picture of Groose wedged down between the desk and the wall divider

what is it doing there?

#all screenshots are from noclip.website #skyward sword #its been a long time since i first played skyward sword and its hard to remember a lot of the little details #theres so many tiny character things in this game! if you finish all the sidequests or even just talk to everyone periodically #so maybe these were more explicitly mentioned somewhere and i dont remember? also others have probably mentioned these before too! #y'know what i'm tagging this. i feel like i'm connecting the dots here. putting the pieces together. #also i love tiny details

Nah cuz why is it always "Wyd" and not "You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you."

😫😫😫😫

Oh to be Mrs. Darcy....

Considering tattoos became fashionable between European aristocrats in the late 19th century and Tsar Nicholas II himself had a massive dragon tattoo on his right arm (that he got done during a trip in Nagasaki in the early 1890s), it's not completely anachronistic to imagine Dmitri Karamazov as having one or multiple tattoos.

Do whatever you want with this information, I'm just saying.

#I feel the need to justify this knowledge of mine because I do hate monarchies but #I have many tattoos and I find the history of tattooing very interesting #many people think that back in the day in non-indigenous cultures tattoos were only a prisoners and sailors thing but no! #tattoos have always had artistic/spiritual/cultural value across the world and regardless of the time period #we have direct proof that humans have been getting tattoos since the Bronze Age how cool is that #anyway as for the tsar there are pictures of him with his sleeve rolled up where you can see the tattoo #and he talks about it in a diary of his #he said the tattooing session lasted from 9 pm to 4 am and while he liked the tattoo #he said going through that experience once discouraged him from ever getting tattooed again (lmao) #he wasn't the only tattooed member of the Russian royal family either #for some reason this piece of lore popped up in my mind again after years so here it is #the brothers karamazov #dmitri karamazov #mine

i am so goddamn tired of every single fantasy story being about men. i am so goddamn tired of women being side characters and love interests and set dressing and an afterthought. i am so goddamn tired of women who are powerful but feminine. women who are "dressed to kill" and they are wearing eyeliner and a dress and heels. i am so goddamn tired of women always being healers and having water magic. i am so goddamn tired of men going on adventures and dying nobly. i am so goddamn tired of never being able to find a story about women that i can fall in love with. i am so goddamn tired of all fandom being about men.

#i have spent the past several weeks becoming increasingly upset about this #hannibal? men. lotr/the hobbit? men. stargate atlantis? men. dragon age inquistion? men. one piece? men. #the handful of superhero's i periodically read about? men. transformers? men. every goddamn anime i've ever loved? men. #the witcher? men. fantasy anachronism? men. literally every single fantasy adventurer series? men. #it's men and men and men and men and men and men and men and men #i just want ONE. one single goddamn story about women that is as well written and well made and as deep as everything else #i want ONE story about a women or women who are noble and honorable and fight in the face of impossible odds #and i don't want them to be pretty and small and feminine #make them hairy and fat and muscular and tall and wear steel toed boots and carry swords and fight monsters and sleep in the woods #and eat stew and carry heavy packs for long distances and be intelligent and sneaky and cowardly and fearful and brave #make them laugh and cry and scream and fall in love and write poetry and books and songs #make them wrestle and pick on each other and pull each others hair and sit around campfires #MAKE THEM GODDAMN PEOPLE #there are books out there about women going on adventures. they exist. i've read some #but they are not the majority and they never get big #and so many end up being poorly written or a romance or a combo of the two #i don't WANT to have to read genderbends just to read about women #i don't want to scroll tumblr and just see men on my dash #all i have ever wanted my whole life is to be a fantasy adventurer. and none of them. not ONE of them looks like me #i am tired of watching youtube critiques of fantasy shows/movies/stories and them just shitting on the women characters #i am just so tired of it

Time period

I love the flash, the sparkle, the drama of the musicals costuming, I do. However I have to gush for a second about just how dedicated the movie was into making the costuming and set scream 1899. I’ve only seen the movie version once (I plan to rewatch) but they did such a good job in those aspects it is burned into my brain and I just have to talk about it. Now , no it’s not 100% period accurate as some of the stage costumes are absolute camp and sparkled beyond reason but it’s  aesthetic and stage costumes of the time would be off the rails too so I can look past it.

Something I love particuarly is that all the men who visit the club are dressed for the occasion, it’s White tie! It’s a big deal! (White tie is the most formal, above even black tie events). Except Satie, he gets a pass, love the scarf. I don’t know what it is but seeing proper formal wear? Yes.

Two things here.

One- the way Satine applies her makeup, there’s a reasoning “painting one’s face” is a saying, lipstick had a brush, mascara was a brick with a little comb to apply etc. It’s that the makeup is accurate to the time and they put that effort into it? They could have easily just had he apply from the tube and most people wouldn’t be the wiser but they didn’t!

Two- CHRISTIANS SIDE BURNS???? HELLO?! This 👏 a lot of period productions hate sideburns and hate actual historical hairstyling’s (the amount of women with long, straight, unstyled hair is horrible) and almost forget men can do their hair differently from one another etc? No but I like it particuarly on Christian as he’s much more “clean cut” and “with” the fashion compared to his friends.

Three- alongside hairstyle is wearing a hat outside/when appropriate. A lot of pieces hate hats just as much as they hate proper hair and corsets

So it’s known Toulouse, Nini and La chocolat (male version in movie) were historical figures but the just… how sort of spot on John Leguizamo looks for Toulouse Latrec freaks me out? Lmao

#no it’s just all these little things #it’s like the bare minimum but with so many other period pieces not committing or willingly doing things wrong #it means so much? #moulin rouge #moulin rouge musical #moulin rouge! #moulin rouge 2001 #moulin rouge movie #period costuming #period piece #meta #movie details #set design #small details #historical hairstyles #victorian era

[that-was-anticlimactic]

there’s something so sacred about sharing what you love with others: whether it be a song or food or clothes, a show or a movie or pictures. it's just... such a deep and personal thing, you know? having someone carve out a little part of their heart and gift it to you with an abundance of joy and excitement and passion... yeah.

#i lowkey had an awful day today lol #and it was my first day taking over as teacher so that's a great way to start it #there are people in seventh period who literally despise me and maybe that's an exaggeration but i looked over their creative writing for #the day and one of those kids literally wrote about how he was having a good day but then it turned into a bad day when i started the #creative writing with them so that was great and other stuff happened idk and one of my tics was really... uh... present today and i was so #aware of it and i feel like everyone was laughing at me because of it even tho ik that was just me being self-conscious but God i wanted to #cry and i shared a piece of my heart with them today for the creative writing exercise and so many of them just. told me how awful it was #like someone straight up started with 'this song is terrible' and then proceeded to write a paragraph about how bad it was #idk. it made me feel like a young kid again - sitting by myself on the playground and reading books. like i was in middle school and #everyone was telling me that the things that i loved were stupid. like i was a kid getting teased just lowkey enough that the teachers #couldn't tell because it wasn't necessarily outright bullying but they were making fun of what i loved which Hurts and then i was in high #school having to defend what i love and then in college hearing 'you ruined this for me because you liked it too much' and it just. idk. #it hurts. i find sharing passions and what i love with others so sacred and important and it Hurts when they just tear it and you down and #ik they're juniors and ik there will always be people like that but it was constant and idk. i'm just sad lol #so anyways even if someone shares something with you that you don't like there is literally No reason to be rude about it. you're allowed #to say you dislike it but it's not okay to just tell them straight up it's stupid or awful or you'd rather get hit by a car than hear the #song again. hm. ig i have some unresolved trauma lol #sorry for the rant y'all i just. needed to rant ig idk

sherlock is public domain now so it’s time to get started on my screenplay pitch and tie-in comic lets fucking GO

#i have SO MANY IDEAS THE SPECIAL INTEREST IS REAL!! #i have one about a third holmes brother who is Very Autistic and trying not to be compared to his brothers and strike out on his own #and failing miserably at it until he kind of ends up just being Sherlock 2: Now With Less Social Awareness!!! #and then the other idea was just gonna be me taking the concept of bbc sherlock ripping the original show to SHREDS and making it good #like rewriting the cases WELL this time #ell shut up #sherlock (acd) #fun fact: acd sherlock fic is 10/10 and apparently all written by librarians #there are SO many damn good period pieces

[petorahs]

the first few art pieces for a new interest are always the loneliest, in my experience

#aishi.txt #i cant sleep despite drinking calming tea and my fav playlist being put on so forgive any emoness but #its a bit alienating... why does art have to be one of the loneliest hobbies ever #like i want people to care as much as i do but i also get it if they dont #i cant fault ppl for not seeing the vision as i do... which is why my art is there #but im just one guy who has many ideas and not enough hands and energy to draw all of them #draw them all and... make it match my view also?? i have to reconcile my current skill with my lack of time and energy with my perfectionism #a bit of a recipe for disaster... i will say #and even after all that effort... some people will still not see it or get it and the ones that probably do #will need time to warm up to me!! #and my art... ough.. idk..... #do i use art as a medium to bridge my social anxiety or what... why does this lowkey bother me #anyway. this happens every time i change fandom #persona art was the loneliest period... pokemon feels a bit alienating too idk #my conclusion always is to stop interacting altogether #just dump my art pieces and go #but thats never worked out for me as well... i always long for interaction and i always be yapping #its just!! a bit tiring i guess #having to continuously work on stuff to... feel connected? what am i saying #like yea i know it takes time. i just wish it didnt have to feel so lonely too during the waiting period #makes me not want to move on from one interest to the next #makes me worried the friends ive made for one fandom will think ive abandoned them for a new thing but its the opposite. #im scared to leave things ive built up.. connections ive already made #i would love nothing more for them to come with me (its not like theyre going anywhere) i just dont know #how to make them feel connected to a new interest i have? wtf am i on about #its like i based my self worth on what art i can provide to others lol 😂 thats silly #i think i'll just think of this as my real life friendships and leave it at that #but yeah. i still feel incredibly lonely and alienated when making art for a new thing. even old things feel incredibly. sad to me #art as a hobby is incredibly lonely. its frustrating for someone like me #an extroverted person with an introvert's hobby. disaster.

just got home from my first day back at uni and i alr wanna go back on vacation

#the vibe #isnt vibing #i also got my period #and my bus drivers are all creeps i hate my life #i wish i went to uni with my moots oh how fun it would be #the freshers are also doubling by the year why are there so many people now #i had my first sip of starbucks in like 2 months fuck the motherland for making me rely on Mcdonalds for my americanos #pls pray it gets easier for me I'm lit rally in pieces rn #em.talks

Ok one thing I really liked about Vinland saga so far is that it’s very like. gore-y and violent and everything but they have yet to have a sexual assault scene . usually in anime they like to have that to show brutality and while it’s implied in the show that it happens because of war they don’t have like a scene. sexualizing it happen like they do in other anime. idk

#I’m only half way through season 2 though so we will see #gwon #like so many period pieces have it and thy always sexualize it while defending it like well that’s what really happened!!! #think like game of thrones type stuff

[jellophoid]

wouldn’t it be so cool if the hat Rose wears belonged to Mia ? And was like a parting gift when Chris took her ?

#/// #why do so many fics I find about rose and Mia say that Mia didn’t wanna raise her ? #bc I think if wiki is right and Mia raised her until a certain period- I don’t think she’d be that willing to let go of her child #like that easy #I Like to thinkkkk mia made an agreement when rose started showing her powers (prolly when she was a year or two old) #that she would give them rose when she started middle school #and that Mia could raise her till then #I want mia to still deal w the dilemma of hiding things and lying #and her trying to get over that for rose #so I think she’d tell her in pieces throughout roses life #and then rose would really connect it when Chris shows up to drop her off at school #then Mia gives her her hat and says ‘give that back to me next time— it’s yours for now’ or smthn #and rose is kinda confused by the wording but she’s just excited to start middle school #I’m sick I’m sick I’m sick

[uglypastels]

so since im writing a fic set around late 17th, early 18th century, do we care about the lingo?

(i obviously do not mean slang or modern references. but just phrasing and... just read the tags lol)

#like im writing and i feel like so many words are too modern #like you know how they say some actors cannot play in period pieces because they have a face that looks like they have seen an iPhone #or read an email #i have that with words #atm specifically: desk #it just feels so corporate #and yet i know they fucking had them #but do i use old timey words? #or is it fine

[dashiellqvverty]

i have a headache and can NOT think clearly enough to really gather my thoughts but as much as i really did like atsv there were just. things about it that didnt work for me. and like mostly i was not big on how they did the “canon events” stuff like im not AGAINST it just at points felt like sort of redoing the moment in itsv where after aaron dies the other spiderpeople are able to comfort and relate to miles because they’ve been through similar things and this is like... that but in a technical lore way and not hitting the same emotional beat?? like obvioulsy they’re taking it somewhere different and its about like defying the story that’s laid out for you and i LIKE that but. idk. and im like yeah obviously theres stuff thats part of the spiderman origin story we KNOW this we did it already in the last movie and it was a great scene. and also like theres no way everything they referenced is 100% true for every version of spiderman, even every single one that cameos in the movie?? idk. it just Frustrated me in a way that i truly cannot put my finger on

#anyway did my Actual Getting My Thoughts Sorted in the tags. so they got long. #atsv spoilers #im on my period and my head hurty and i feel like im thinking through a fog so. thats part of the problem #also im just like yeah man fixed events in the time stream or whatever its a very standard thing #idkkkk i literally feel like im close to a thought that i cant piece together #something something what makes spider people So Special that THEY have fixed destinies that others dont idkidk #was that what the web thing was?? being a spiderperson doesnt have to do with the multiverse tho like. idk if this makes sense #i promise im not being cinemasins about the lore here #its just like. i wanna figure out what it was that didnt work for me so i gotta talk it all out #and like i realize its meta commentary on comics and retellings and stuff too and. idk #something about 'its a fixed moment in a spider persons life that a police captain has to die while saving a child' feels kind of Dumb #to watch as like a Serious Moment?? idk #like obviously its TRUE to some extent bc. they are all retellings of the same story and thats the POINT #and i get that. #but also youre CREATING some of these stories for the movie #like idk a TON about hobie in the comics altho i'd like to read more im just kind of vaguely familiar #but what i can gather he has NO cop related backstory so like. now theyve given him one :| #and i dont love that! #and its like. yeah they want something that can connect to miles' dad. and hes a cop and this is something that is. Generally Speaking. #a connection in many spiderman retellings. but. again and i dont know this for a fact #does that happen in the comics to any spiderman other than different versions of peter parker? #like saying its a Key Thing when its. largely invented for the movie. maybe? #i like the storyline for miles and im like i wish it had been arrived at in some slightly different way? idk #had a great conversation about it w my brother in the car after the movie bc we both were kind of like 'oh' abt the whole movie #like it was GREAT but had been hyped up SO much and we were like. well this doesn't surpass or elevate the first #he thought miles' parents writing didnt feel consistent w the first which. i should do a rewatch of itsv tbh #and was commenting on how much gwen sucked and fucked miles over and im like yeah man i loved that #dont be cinemasins and say its a plothole bc she made bad choices #shes a scared teenager who bought into miguel's scheme and is making decisions a scared teenager would #we both agreed the soundtrack does NOT compare to itsv
