A selection of looks from the 18th Century equivalent of the MET Gala (aka The Queen's Drawing Room) in March 1789.

(To help with your mental images - this would have been roughly the court silhouette at the time.)

Queen Charlotte - "Was dressed in purple, silver and orange body and train; the petticoat likewise of purple and silver, richly embroidered upon crape. Her Majesty’s head-dress was the most superb and beautiful that ever appeared at Court. A bandeau of purple sattin was fastened around the cap, with a motto in diamonds of “GOD SAVE THE KING.

Round the Queen’s neck was a medallion, tied with a double row of gold chain, and across her shoulders was another chain of three rows of pearls, and five rows of diamonds fastened low behind, with a fine miniature portrait of the KING, studded with diamonds, hanging in front. The tippet was of fine lace, and fastened with the letter G. in diamonds."

The Duchess of Gordon - "White sattin, superbly spangled in gold, and drawn up with a bandeau of the most costly embroidery, imitating the sun [in] the fullness of its glory. The petticoat was festooned in a beautiful manner with branches of oak."

The Duchess of Devonshire - "A white sattin petticoat most superbly embroidered with wreaths of foil, flowers and stones, the gown of dark green sattin, richly embroidered with spangles; and a most beautiful diamond stomacher."

Lady Lloyd - "A crape petticoat, over one of white sattin, with stripes of purple velvet, ornamented with gold and stones, representing peacock feathers. The train purple, trimmed with crape.

Her Ladyship's cap had a painting, describing Britannia kneeling and offering praises to heaven for the recovery of the King, very richly ornamented with diamonds, blond, flowers, and feathers. In the front, "Dieu nous le rend," (God restores him to us,) embroidered in gold letters."

Mr. Pitt - "A green and rose striped velvet, richly embroidered with gold and silver stones; the waistcoat of white satin, embroidered as the coat."

The Hon. Mr. Edgecumbe - "A blue and brown shaded velvet, most superbly embroidered with diamonds and point lace, with beautiful bouquets of flowers; the waistcoat of white satin, embroidered the same"

Sir John Marriott - "Sea green striped velvet, with gold tissue embroidered waistcoat."

and my personal best dressed -

The Duchess of Rutland (who was making her first appearance at court since the death of her husband) - "The time allotted by the decree of fashion for customary suits of solemn black, and all the trappings of widowed woe, being expired, her Grace, lovely in her person, and attractive in her manners, came forward in all the fullness of splendor, and in imitation of the Heavens when they declare, by a rainbow, that the tears of the sky have stopped, wore a dress of embroidered crape, fashioned in such a manner as to resemble that variegated sign of an unclouded atmosphere. But we are at a loss to find out what was meant by the gold-spangled darts of lightning that appeared through this rainbow, unless that her Grace meant them as emblematical of what her eyes can do, now that the day of weeping’s over. To write, however, in more plain terms, we shall state exactly what her Grace had on. It was an embroidered crape, something in imitation of a rainbow, having variety in its colours, and being ornamented with gold spangles which really appeared like darts of lightning through the crape, and gave it a most superb appearance. Her head-dress of white crape, with a towering branch of ostrich feathers, and the motto of God save the King,  in white and gold."

Eddie didn’t remember him. Buck took a deep breath, Eddie was alive, that was all that mattered.

Or, Eddie gets shot, loses some of his memories and comes to an interesting conclusion.

I can't find my original post where I mentioned it but Early Days Thomas gives very little shit about anyone that isn't Edward or himself at first, most likely a result from his years living on the streets.

He only really started respecting The Fat Controller after he discovered and chose to overlook the fact Thomas was essentially a stowaway with zero previous experience (after a harsh grilling towards Edward that is. Thomas had been learning from Edward at the time and picked up the trade easily). Moreso when they found out TFC had purchased Edward's engine (after Furness Railway expressed no interest in having it or its driver return to them) and would allow Edward to continue working on Sodor.

Then Henry arrived and Thomas was not impressed. He'd quip a few cheeky remarks despite Edward's stern gaze. But after about a week Henry started clapping back at the remarks, igniting a spark in Thomas and the two were constantly bantering back and forth and spitting roasts at each other and Thomas well... He found himself enjoying Henry's presence. Gordon soon arrived after and Thomas almost immediately discovered how fun it was getting a reaction out of him and then of course the events of "Thomas and Gordon" happen and Thomas is put in his place... but only for a while. His respect didn't really come until after Gordon helped him out during "Down the Mine" despite everything. But before that James' accident happened and by this point Thomas is steadily getting used to trusting others by now and he rushes off to help and stays by James' side until paramedics take him away, then helps clean up the aftermath. So they have history there and hit it off well after James's return but then the big engine drivers start influencing James and again Thomas finds himself another person to engage in whimsical banter with. Then the strike happens and Percy arrives and Thomas isn't too sure about him looking after the branch line but Annie and Clarabel put in such a good word for Percy and the two become fast friends.

And by this point Thomas realizes how much joy working on the railway alongside this motley crew brings him. There's never a dull moment, they don't always see eye to eye, but they all have each other's backs when it matters most. He's not just trying to survive anymore. He's happy.

Seeing the same people who perpetuated or sent vicious misogynistic hate to Hannah Schmitz, as well as disgusting racist abuse towards Yuki and Alex because of FUCKING CONSPIRACY THEORIES and those who just straight up ignored it, now up in arms regarding whatever the fuck is going on between the FIA and the wolffs is beginning to piss me off. Because now that it's not someone red bull affiliated involved, it's somehow now unacceptable.

y'know, while I'm on the whole "awkwardly worded headcanons about cog society" thing:

often I think about the idea of the cogs like. performing behaviors that they don't strictly need to. like how we see them eat a variety of foods, instead of just consuming straight fuel. or how they might "sleep" in a bed. or even, how they might decide to build themselves a child, even though their kind typically doesn't need to be "raised", in such a way.

like, if they were made to work and nothing more, then why are they programmed to find behaviors like these comfortable and/or satisfying? do they even find it comfortable? or is it just something that's just part of their society, something they all do even though it has no apparent benefit to them? is it, perhaps, in imitation of something? of what?

Why don't you just go #ReadAnotherBook if you're going to complain about a C O M I C B O O K about a B L U E H E D G E H O G ?

Also, buddy, this might come as a shock to you, but you're allowed to criticize media no matter what it's about.

"Farewell, and I Love You"

Here were are; the last proper issue of Pinepaw and the Forgotten World. As I've said before, I have a series of ten epilogues planned which will wrap up all of the main characters' lives, so the comic is not quite done yet. Hence I'll save all the rambly, sappy stuff for that final epilogue.

The epilogues will begin posting on January 7th, and will post twice-weekly on Tuesday and Friday until they're finished. The first three are already available on my Patreon if you're interested.

For now, I just want to say - thank you so much to everyone who has read and shared my comic. It's meant a lot to me. I hope you all liked it.
