#Historical Aeshtetic

im gonna sound kind of bitchy but i get irrationally annoyed whem im on pinterest or something and i see someone go "omg this outfit is so cute, what aeshtetic/core is this?"

and its like...a white sweater vest and a pink pleated skirt

this is clearly just a preppy outfit in pastel colours. why does it have to be a "core"? have people lost the ability to use simple descriptive terms for clothing? must everything be a micro trend? preppy clothing (with slight modifications depending on the other fashion trends of the decade) has existed for about a century at this point, like come on.

now i dont generally think of pinterest as being a social media outlet, but i think this behaviour is a byproduct of the obession with social media microtrends -- its literally people taking styles of clothing that have already existed and condensing them into super narrow aesthetic categories and then acting like tiktok invented them

and im saying this as someone who really likes dark academia and cottagecore. the thing is though --- i already liked all of the aesthetic aspects of both of these before there was a name for them. I knew i liked vintage and historical clothing and furniture, i liked preppy clothes in dark colours, and i liked long flowy skirts and dresses. I didn't need a catch-all term for all the things I liked -- I was able to describe them based on a basic understanding of clothing and more general aesthetics.

these labels are convenient but people get so obsessed with them that they can't fathom someone simply having an individual style that's just a personal twist on clothes that have been around for ages.

if you are interested in fashion, please consider developing your own personal style -- something that's a collection of your favourite colours, silhouettes, fabrics, decorative details, and accessories -- that is specific to you and not dependent on whatever's trending on tiktok

May I introduce you guys to yet another project of mine? This time it’s not a book, but a game! I’ve always wanted to try to make my own games, they tie into one nice package so many of my interests (writing, art, animation, coding), so now I’m making one! I’ll start small and I’ll try to make one level first as a test of sorts so I can flesh out the game mechanic for example. I’m not sure how much I’ll make posts about it, but I’ll probably do some updates on my progress, maybe post some concept art.

WORKING TITLE: Monster of the Castle

GENRE: Puzzle with dungeon crawling elements, psychological thriller, gothic horror/suspense, historical fiction

GRAPHICS: 2.5D - maybe isometric, not sure yet - meaning 2D graphics but with the appearance of three dimensions

ENGINE: Unity 2D

SETTING: An abandoned 1200 century castle

SYNOPSIS: A young noble lady of the castle is plagued by a family curse; she is slowly turning into a monster from the depths of hell. But she knows there is a cure created by her uncle, hidden deep inside of her ancestral home. To get to the cure she has to through the numerous traps protecting it. However, nothing is as it seems and hidden secrets must be uncovered before she can free herself form the curse.

MAIN CHARACTER: The main character is Lady Rohesia, a lone resident of the castle. She is beautiful and somber, like a maiden of her status should, but beneath that she is determinated, headstrong, a bit vain, very clever and extremely lonely. Just like the castle itself, she has pockets full of secrets too, some of which she even keeps from herself.

At this point I’m in very early stages. I’m in a bit of a learning curve, I’ve coded with C a lot and though C sharp has similar syntax and logic, it’s different language and there’s a lot to learn. This is also my first time using Unity. I’ve done some of the basics, like character movement and interactions and inventories etc. But there’s so much to do still. Now I’m doing some concept art and I’ll have to decide what specific game play mechanics I want to use.
