About Me   Fics   Fic Recs This tumblr belongs to a white, female progressive 36 year old teacher of Japanese Studies who writes almost all the time, plays video games, reads a lot of fantasy, and has an obsessive love of information from the profound to the trivial. Said tumblr will no doubt show the symptoms of an extremely associative mindset.  It will also feature same-sex pairings, lgbtqa+ content, and political statements.  Be prepared for a lot of Marvel comics, Star Wars, Word of Honor, and Dragon Age, with some other Bioware games making appearances, Top Gun, The Witcher, Mo Dao Zu Shi, Starsky and Hutch, 80s fantasy movies, Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban, Rurouni Kenshin, Final Fantasy, other fantasy-related media, some figure skating, and random rambling. Do not use AI to do anything with my works or to create anything inspired by my works. Don't enter my writing into any AI for any purpose, including your personal use.

If you recall, green dresses are a personal favorite. And this one is up there in my all-time list. I first ran across it when I was doing research into the history of velvet for one of my ThreadTalk subjects and I could not look away. This looks like a magic gown made of moss, and if I wear it, I may find my way to Faerie.
The date on the gown is somewhere between 1885-1888, and it was made in Scotland by Gowan and Strachan, and is from the National Museums Scotland collection.
Velvet gets a bad rep from its egregious overuse in the 1970s, but a dress like this would be made of silk velvet. If you've ever been lucky enough to touch it, you'll know it's a totally different experience than polyester crap. The way light hits this gown is absolutely ethereal!

Historical Fashion: Purple (In Antiquity)
“The color purple and its association with the Roman Emperors is due to vast expense of producing clothing made of such a color. The purple color was produced from an extremely expensive dye called Tyrian purple which originated in Tyre in Lebanon. The Phoenicians owned the monopoly on this purple dye which was made by crushing thousands of sea shells - Mediterranean Murex. It took 10,000 murex to dye just one toga! This purple dye was worth more than its weight in gold came to symbolise both the wealth and power of the Roman emperors.” [x]

For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

“Iron Man… that’s kinda catchy. It’s got a nice ring to it. I mean, it’s not technically accurate; the suit’s a gold-titanium alloy. But, it’s kind of evocative of the imagery.”

First base is kissing. Second base is saving the world together. Third base is divorcing over politics. Fourth base is ripping off your broken heart from your chest and making your coworker/soulmate/arch-nemesis carry it in his bare hands.
