I can understand how "modern person thrown into the past gets by pretending to be a healer/doctor" is as surprisingly common of a trope as it is. I mean I'm fluent enough at bullshitting to be pretty sure I could pull it off to impersonate a doctor in any time pre-1800s. If I have no idea what something is or how to treat it, I could just get the opinion of the other whatever-passes-as-medical-professionals around, but if their suggestions sound like bullshit I'm not doing it. And I'll beat the shit out of anyone suggesting bloodletting or mercury. With my healing stick. I've tied little bells on it, that jingle comically with every smack.

The awesome curative powers of my healing stick come from two separate sources: Placebo, and me using it to beat anyone trying to give my patients mercury.

I've said this before but David Tennant would play such a good Holmes. The former wholock girls would be gooped and gagged. He'd eat that. He would leave no crumbs

how non-writers think writing works: creating a detailed outline and plan, writing each section carefully and weaving in all the different story threads like a master creator, expertly creating a masterpiece with care and precision

how writing actually works: daydreaming that one scene, creating a half-formed plot in a daze all around it, swearing at characters that don't magic themselves into existence, becoming absolutely obsessed with the story for a solid week, it becomes your entire life, you sit down open a blank word document and write approximately two and a half chapters, lose interest, daydream an entirely new idea for a new story, rinse and repeat

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

I found the film The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) by chance and decided to watch it, because I was bored and I am glad I did, the film is hilarious. My favorite moments:

The antagonist young Gandalf, very cunning and scheming, is always so puzzled how the hell does that idiot manage to insult him.

Armand telling his potential brother-in-law to his face that he is an idiot, only in a slightly more polite way. And then calling him mad, when said potential brother-in-law stops acting like an idiot.

The Tangled moment for Marguerite.

No grand moment of Sir Percy dropping his mask, he just does it casually in a middle of a conversation.

Short disclaimer: Most pictures show clothes of royalty, aristocracy, and burgoisie as their clothes weren’t worn as much and especially not for labour, which is the issue with farmers/workers’ clothes, which also were reused quite often, whether to sew new clothes or have rags. So please keep this in mind!!

It really is very European-centric as I am European as well, and I apologise for it if you expected more from it. I definitely lack the knowledge to determine what are accurate portrayals of other cultures, and to find content for them is really difficult as well. This is why I would encourage you to submit any resources you have to my blog! If you have any book recs or know good pages, please let me know!

Another edit/note: Pinterest has changed a lot since I made the post, so you need to be signed in now to see more than the first row of the boards, I’m really sorry about that! (Also I tested all the links and on my original post they still work, if you’re having isues with that.)

In the 1700s, blood transfusion was used to treat psychosis. Oddly, sometimes it worked.

So a question for my followers: Give your best guess as to why this could have worked without looking it up.

I will answer tomorrow.

Z nějakého mně neznámého důvodu jsem dostala od tety Alpu Francovku, tak jsem ji otevřela, že se jí zkusím napatlat. Tímto se omlouvám rytíři Brtníkovi z Brtníku, že jsem se mu celé dětství smála, ta věc voní fakt dobře a kdyby mi to někdo nalil a řekl, že je to nějaký likér, tak to s chutí vypiju.

Ach ano, Chalupáři. To jsme celé zkoukli se třídou z gymplu na sportovním kurzu v Tatrách. Po pár letech se moji rodiče rozhodli, že to vyzkouší a podívají se na to. Vydrželi první tři díly a pak se mě ptali, jak jsem byla schopná se na takovou věc prošpikovanou komunistickou propagandou dodívat do konce. Jednoduše. Přišlo mi to místy tak bizarní, že jsem nebyla schopná odhadnout, jestli je to lehká parodie nebo míněno zcela seriózně.
