I love weirdos. I love people who have walls covered with manga pages and anime posters. I love people who have way too many stuffed animals and toys strewn about. I love people who have little space in their rooms and homes because they’re full of bookshelves for their figures, manga, books, comics, toys, etc. I love people who wear weird things like “cringe” merch, stuffed animal bags, cloaks, capes, etc. I love people who experiment with unconventional makeup. I love people with mullets or shaved heads. I love people who complete their looks with fishnets and colored contacts. I love people who have half finished cosplays in their closets. I love people who write and read fanfiction. I love people who make fan art, whether it’s “sellable” or not. I love punks, lolitas (the Japanese alt scene), scene queens, emos, bimbos, femmes, butches, studs, drag performers, etc. I love furries and therians. I love witches and pagans. I love the people on the outskirts. The weirdos. The freaks. The undesirables. Because in them I don’t just see myself, I see joy. The reality that life can be lived authentically in countless ways. I see that we cannot be doomed to conformity or homogeny. We are vibrant, we are beautiful. We are worth saving. Life is good. Life is fun.

we interrupt your regularly scheduled program to talk about
Late 1890s Waistcoats
---
Believe it or not, men's waistcoats actually have changed throughout the years, and the waistcoats that were worn in the late 1890s are really quite different from the modern waistcoat worn today. So, if you are ever planning on dressing up as a newsie, there are a few things to keep in mind that, while they may seem minor, can add more authenticity to any costume/cosplay.
There are three major details to pay attention to.
First, waistcoats in the 1890s were comparatively shorter than the waistcoats of today. They generally fell just an inch or two below the natural waist or the slimmest part of the torso. You would never or very rarely see a waistcoat extending to or below the hips.
Second, the arms eyes (arm holes) of the waistcoat were very tightly fitted. Modern waistcoats commonly have larger arms eyes to allow for greater size range.
You'll notice that the costumes of both versions of Newsies have done a very good job on these details:
Third, waistcoats for daywear in the 1890s were generally cut very high up at the neck. Necklines did dip lower depending on the purpose of the waistcoat, for example evening wear dipped very low to show off the starched shirt front beneath, but the newsies would not have had particularly low cut waistcoats.
In the 1992 movie, Pulitzer wears one of these evening wear waistcoats. Compare to Denton's below, which is much more typical of daywear:
Denton's waistcoat is also an example of the notched collar/lapel which was quite common in the late 19th century.
Waistcoats could have a variety of collars, or no collar at all. A very fashionable collar, particularly in 1899, was the peaked lapel or step roll collar, which looked like this:
Be careful with this one, as modern peaked lapels tend to take after the 1920s style which is a little more streamlined and should be avoided.
A third common collar type in the 1890s was the shawl collar:
Taking all this into consideration, it is actually quite easy to turn a modern waistcoat into a late 1890s waistcoat. In order to achieve a shorter length, tighter arms eyes, and a higher neckline, you can simply take up the shoulder seam of any waistcoat for a more historical look.
It's that easy! Not taking into account fabrics and patterns, your modern waistcoat is just one alteration away from being the waistcoat of a newsie in 1899!

I've been thinking about Corentin pre-tadpole...dude meets one (1) guy who wouldn't jump at the chance to stab them and immediately falls hard
#i think they were drawn to gortash's sincerity (which was part of why they fell for wyll too)#and comparative to everyone else they were interacting with at the time?#yeah the tyrant who legitimately believes in his cause seems like a fucking saint#when you live with serial killers who want to Kill The Entire World#esp because Tin's reason for doing the Absolute plot was ultimately to try and escape#and i think being around gortash kept them clearer-headed than they usually were#im so glad the lighting in the last frame worked out i love it sm#bg3#bg3 art#bg3 durge#corentin#the prodigal saer#bg3 tav#enver gortash#durgetash#bg3 fanart#baldurs gate 3#my art#my post#digital art#digital artist#sketch#digital sketch#i have a couple other ideas too i just need to figure out what their fashion sense was like pre-tadpole#(spoiler alert: it wasnt great)

Adding to the Grian neurodivergent things
I imagine because of all the different dialects of Galactic/Watcher/Enchanting (whatever you want to call it) there are words in different dialects he doesn't understand and he likes to repeat them
They're mostly innocent but like real vocal stims there can also be some... Less appropriate ones
(going on anon because I'm afraid to talk to you 🥲👍)
akdndksk that is funny to imagine, he’s saying bad words in his second language but it doesn’t have the same impact, so it’s mostly a stim to him
If he does it around a Watcher they’ll tap his mouth with their hand to shush him
#ask#im not scary I just spent several days obsessing over ND grian skdbdkkd#this reminds me of when I used to watch Quackity and he’d always get stuck on bits and keep saying them 😭#true nun fashion. getting your hand or mouth popped. Not painfully just enough to alert you 😭💥

Remember that one person who tried to argue so adamantly that you could not put a 19th-century boned bodice on a mannequin inside out without breaking the bones, despite being told by multiple museum workers and clothing historians that it wasn’t true?
Sometimes I wonder how that person is doing
#clothing history#fashion history#dress history#I recall being at work that day and I literally washed my hands and then went up to storage and tried it.#(only because I knew it would be fine)#(It was fine. Spoiler alert)

The David Jacobs Costume Analysis. Or, if you don't like the 1992 costumes you are wrong and here is why (with pictures!)
We all know and love the change in David's costume in the 1992 movie Newsies. But this gradual change is more than just a loss of layers or a loosening of buttons. It offers a visual representation of David's character arc from the beginning of the movie to the end.
And historical dress/fashion plays a significant part in this achievement.
Let's begin at the beginning...
This is David when we meet him, and already without any historical context viewers can see a stark contrast between him and the newsies. His shirt is buttoned all the way to the top and fits him nicely, he's got a watch chain in his buttonhole, and this distinguished gentleman is even wearing a tie! But wait! Look to history! There's more!
Take a look at the vest David is wearing, specifically at the lapel shape. You may have noticed it before, because David's lapels (as far as I'm aware) are the only ones that have this particular shape among our main cast. This lapel type is called a peaked lapel (aka a pointed or step roll collar), and they just so happen to be the most popular or the most fashionable lapel style for men in 1899. They also have a reputation for being the most formal lapel cut. Additionally, if you take a closer look, the vest David is wearing when we meet him has a pattern that suggests that this vest is made from flannel. A very fashionable fabric for men's vests and trousers in the late 18th century. But why are these details of David's vest significant? Well, let me ask you this: did you know David wears two different vests? The right hand picture above is the last time we see David wearing his fancy, peaked lapel, flannel vest: during Seize the Day. For the rest of the movie when we see David in a vest, it's this one:
You'll notice that this vest has no lapel at all. This style is usually worn under a jacket as David does during the rally. It appears to be made from wool broadcloth or felt, a fabric generally seen worn by the upper class during this time period. Still, it is definitely less formal when worn without the accompanying jacket. But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. The main take away from David's costume at the beginning of the movie from both a visual and a historical perspective, is that literally none of the newsboys we meet are better dressed than David Jacobs. Why is that? I would argue that David is dressed the way he is because he's trying to convey a collected, and perhaps even a mature front. He cares about how people perceive him, and wants to be taken seriously. But then, as the movie progresses, we see this carefully dressed boy disappear. By the time we get to David's apartment and meet his family, his vest has already been unbuttoned. And, gosh golly, what is this? He's loosened his tie!
As we get to know David better, as he becomes better acquainted and comfortable with Jack and the newsies, he literally begins to loosen up, shedding formalities and layers one by one. By Seize the Day Reprise, he's even lost his vest! Which is more significant than you may think.
Vests were very important in the 18th century. Even laborers and working men wore vests over their shirts. It was actually considered improper or inappropriate for a man to appear only in his shirt. But David doesn't seem to care. Maybe he reasons that his shirt being buttoned all the way to the top makes up for the scandalous lack of a vest. You'll notice that even without his vest, David stands out among the other newsies who have all unbuttoned their collars and/or the top buttoned of their undershirts. (Mush has even shed his shirt entirely.) Or maybe he doesn't care anymore? This is also the first time we can see David's shirt unobstructed, and therefore the first time another detail stands out. It's just an ordinary button up shirt right? Nope. It's actually a popover shirt. This type of shirt is buttoned only halfway down so that it is pulled over the head instead of slipped into from the sleeves. This was how any old shirt was constructed until 1871 when the modern button up (or 'coat shirt' as it was first called), was patented in London. By 1895, button ups were seen as standard. And while the button up gained popularity the popover become something closer to a t-shirt. It was less formal and less fitted.
So, underneath his fancy dandy vast, David is wearing a much more casual shirt. Even if he does still insist on top buttons for a little while longer, he is getting much more comfortable as time goes on. Literally and figuratively. David's second shirt is also a popover. Although it is possible that this one might simply be an old shirt of his father's, as it bears resemblance to earlier evening dress shirts of the 1860s.
By the end of the move, David has shed his tie, lost his vest, and has stopped caring about buttons and shirts. He no longer looks any different from Jack and the other newsies, he is no longer putting up a façade. Not because he's stopped wanting to be taken seriously, but because he doesn't need appearances anymore. The David on the above left is the David who wanted to be respected. The David on the above right is the David who used his voice to demand that respect. (And the David who handed Pulitzer his ass on a plate.)
One final comparison between the way David wears his newsboy hat at the beginning and then at the end of the movie. Because while it isn't particularly significant historically (there's no proper 1800s rule for how to wear a newsboy hat), it's clearly significant to David as a character. (His curls have been freed!)
In conclusion, with every item subtracted from David's wardrobe, we see him open up and loosen up. Newsies 1992 does an incredible job of using David's clothing and these little details to visually show his journey as a character. It's something hard to replicate in the stage musical, but something I think we can all appreciate in every iteration that cares enough to include it.
But of course, in my not so humble opinion, Newsies 1992 did it best.
Therein ends my analysis/rant.
I apologize if it is ill organized. In my defense, so is my brain. :D
