Kinda bothers me when white people win Oscars it’s always “based on merit” “they deserve it!” “It’s their time!” but when one POC even gets nominated the narrative turns into “it was because of PC” real quick.

🤨🤨🤨

The costumes on Bridgerton are postmodern masterpieces. This and Enola Holmes have broken my allegiance to the cause of strict historical accuracy forever. They’re very deliberately playing with our ideas of history, how we remember history, and they’re in active conversation with the Internet communities of historical costumers, makeup and hair artists. This ain’t your momma’s historically inaccurate costumes back from when we didn’t know better. These costumers KNOW.

Like, when Bridgerton opens with a mother standing over her daughter demanding her stays be laced tighter, this isn’t a sign that Corsets are Evil and Oppress Women. The show KNOWS that women didn’t really tightlace during the Regency. Frankly, it’s relying on either its audience’s ignorance (this is totally what the past was like) or outrage (they’re being historically inaccurate!) to keep them from thinking too hard about what it means that these characters in particular are doing it, and the loaded freight of that tiny moment, in terms of character and theme and plot, isn’t going to pay off for AGES.

But I won’t get into everything tonight. I’ll just look at one aspect in depth right now (and stick it behind a readmore because this got LONG) which is how amazing these costumes are at expressing character:

Baz does the absolute MOST and I love it

“Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

I wasn’t excited for the gossip girl reboot before, and sure we don’t need it, but after seeing the photos I’m very cautiously optimistic. And the outfits are so good already. Like one can see characters who are dressed preppy but they don’t look like outdated Blair copycats a la Emily in Paris, (I like the show but you know it’s true). You se your “main bitch” character already but she looks edgy and badass and modern instead of preppy, they look like they all have a new unique styles and it makes sense for a 2020 gossip girl. They need to create new modern trendsetters for this to work, we don’t need them to try and replicate late 2010s fashion. Point is they look so cool and it feels like we may at least be getting great modern outfits

Here‘s a Persephone WIP. Idk what to do with her hand and what do to as a background. I don’t remember anymore what my thought process was and now it’s just some unfinished lines and and undeveloped idea. My brain is letting me down.

I drew a lot this year. Have one of my favorites! I‘ll try to be more active on here, cause a person who was dear to me used to love tumblr a lot.

If I hear one (1) person complain about the Bridgerton costumes being inaccurate I’m going to scream. Yes they are, I’m pretty sure intentionally so, costume designers are not dumb. Let’s move on. The tone gives me Edwardian dreamland AU and I love it. Let me have my fluffy Edwardian escapist fantasy.

Amen

2020 is a shitshow but at least Julie Andrews is our period gossip girl
