In the forests of Asturias, people know to beware of the scraping sound of washboards near streams. It means the Llavanderes are working.

One of the washerwomen will ask for help drying her blood-soaked shroud. Never twist it in the same direction as her, or she will drown you.

Washerwomen (part II)

"In Brittany, invisible washerwomen who have not respected the rule which requires them not to wash clothes on Sunday, must return after their death, every Sunday, to do their laundry. (…) A little further, some women are punished for having worn out the linen entrusted to them, by rubbing it too hard to save soap. As repentance, they must wash, at odd hours of the night, stones which they carry in their apron to the wash-house."

[Abstract arranged by me from Delmas & Seignolle + “The Washerwomen” by Millet diverted.]

My kid was looking at a picture of some of the Ancient Egyptian gods and I was telling her which animal they were supposed to be, and she was like, "But what's this part?" And I said, "Oh, he's just wearing a wig. They drew him dressed up in clothes just like a person." And then my brain supplied: "like a Beatrix Potter character."

And then I had to stare at the wall for a while.

Washerwoman Career for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e

#wfrp #wfrp4e #warhammer #warhammer fantasy #warhammer fantasy roleplay #homebrew #my art #folio #was fun to try and work in other systems that aren't 5e! and I love WFRP (been in a few games; with one going on 4ish years!) #wanted a vibe of gossiping washers; noble washerwomen who hear or see things they can bribe nobles for #also bonus: the lavender trapping is from historical accounts of laundry being dried atop of lavender fields to scent it!

Washerwomen. Part III

"In Berry, it is along rustic footbridges, at the edges of fountains which border steep paths, around remote ponds, that the Night Washers especially like to engage in their mysterious occupations. Everyone agrees to say that they carry out their work with a sort of relentlessness, almost always in silence, or with a dull, monotonous song, reminiscent of the De Profundis. (…) It is not laundry, nor shrouds, which they wash, but a kind of vapor, of a livid color, of a dull and cloudy transparency reminiscent of opal. At the moment when the Washerwoman immerses or removes this strange fabric of mist from the water, it seems to take on the vague appearance of a human form, and one would swear that this form is crying and screaming in pain under the furious blows of the beater and under the energetic twisting of the washerwomen."

[Told by Delmas, arranged by me. Art by Yan' Dargent, 1861.]

countless iconic members of indie girlbands were tragically lost to history by being born decades or centuries or even millenia before indie girlbands were a gleam in gods eye

#Hubert Robert #“Ruins of a Roman Bath with Washerwomen” (after 1766)

[caeliflammae]

our dryer broke in December and we had to either wash and hang dry our clothes (annoying in Florida) or just go to the Laundromat and do all of our laundry which would routinely cost upwards of $40 bucks bc clothes and linens for a family of 3 are not insubstantial. we finally got a new dryer last week, and the next day our washer broke. we don't need to replace it but we need a plumber to come and deal with it bc my dad was unable to reach whatever clog is in the drainage pipe with the snake we have. so this has lead to a situation of having to hand wash all of our clothes in the tub and then put them in the dryer. i need to get a damn washboard. truly will never underestimate the amount of time and effort that is saved by our modern appliances and conveniences.

#poverty #laundry #i feel like an 1800s washerwomen #my back hurts #my hands hurt #im probably wasting so much water #but it's so much cheaper than just going to the laundromat to wash stuff and then lugging home bags of wet laundry #my clothes are probably grateful for the special treatment though

The laundries on the estate no longer echo to the bustle of washerwomen. This one has become a haven for the reader in search of quiet, the dreamer in search of solitude.
