Behold, an Ongoing Project! 📯

I've been wanting to compile this for a while, instead of frantically scrambling for references every time I sit down to write — I thought it would be fun to share! I'm mostly tackling this from the perspective of a fanfic author, and also as someone who's very into viking era-through-renaissance men's fashion and armor.

I think it's really fun to look at the decisions that were made strategically (to maintain actor mobility, for example), because they looked cool (Faramir's pointless hinged piece on his helmet), or because they were actually period-accurate (gambesons under chainmail, or worn as armor by themselves!). I'm also taking it as a chance to point out what these garments say about their owners!

I say this in the document itself, but there's no need to credit me if you reference/use the doc for your own writing ^_^ this is some of my favorite stuff to discuss, so just getting to share it is cool enough to me.

I'm purely focusing on human characters to start, because of the more solid real-world parallels, but I'm happy to add on to this if there are other characters you'd like to see!!

(@potatoflower7 + @rivers-for-me, tagging you both bc you interacted w/ the posts I made when I was just starting this!)

DIRK: Hey, bro. DIRK: How're you settling in so far?

(DAVE): not too bad not too shabby (DAVE): im still confused as fuck by everything and i vaguely feel like ill keep being confused by things forever since everything is just so different from what im used to (DAVE): especially given that earth c and all of this other stupid sburb game bullshit either wasnt seen by lalonde because it was just too far away in the future or she just didnt think of telling me stuff due to the fact that im a bit of a skeptical idiot and all that (DAVE): i mean at the same time though i think any normal ass person would have a right to be skeptical of how betty crocker is supposedly an evil tyrannical alien witch of sorts whos planning to completely submerge the earth in water (DAVE): but like fuck us specifically right

DIRK: Yup. I guess so. DIRK: To be completely frank with you, though, I'm still used to seeing SBURB as a double edged sword. DIRK: Like, sure, it lead to me getting killed several times, nearly all of them by decapitation, and the situations it put me and my friends in lead to many complications within our group.

(DAVE): man do you always have to mention the decapiation thing

DIRK: Shut up, I'm talking. DIRK: But also, speaking of said friends: it orchestrated the requierments necessary for us to meet. DIRK: And then it lead to Earth C, which I'm glad exists, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't have survived on that dingy little apartment tower forever.

(DAVE): uuughhhh (DAVE): if i had more goddamn time man i think i wouldve snapped a picture of every country on earth to be able to show you the world a little more (DAVE): but youre right it is a double edged sword no matter how shitty the sword and the edge is (DAVE): probably shittier than a god forsaken sord (DAVE): id be offended if that wasnt one hell of an accomplishment

DIRK: Hahaha, holy shit. DIRK: How'd you even figure out how to make those shitty real life jpegs, anyways?

(DAVE): trade secrets (DAVE): only the 3 dave striders that occupy this world are allowed to know

DIRK: Aww. DIRK: Only the three, though? What about Davepeta?

(DAVE): uhhhh thats a good question (DAVE): id probably give them my secrets if they asked but im not too sure what to think about them in general tbh because theyre a furry and also the happiest strider ive ever seen (DAVE): how many striders are there anyway again ive lost count of our kind multiple times at this point

DIRK: Hold on, I'm also trying to remember right now. DIRK: Well, there's the aformentioned four daves, even though Davepeta is kind of a weird spot given that they're also a leijon, me, Hal, ARquius, and then Bro. DIRK: So that makes for a total of eight.

(DAVE): got damn

My Beloved Sunburst,

It's been a little while, I know, and I'm truly sorry for it. I just haven't had the time to pick up a pen or a quill lately. My shop gets flooded during the month of Nightmare Night, you know how it is. Ponies come in looking for decorations (In a curio shop? Strange, I know!) and other oddities to show off, or they bring along an artifact they think is haunted or something. It's fun to see them learn that it isn't, or that it is! Both reactions are part of what makes owning this place fun. I'd love to show you sometime ♡

But that's not why I'm writing to you, I just want to tell you how much I miss you. How much I long to be in your vicinity, we don't even have to be talking or cuddling. I just want to be near you, that's how much I miss you. I want to hear your cute little snorts when something interests you within that book you've read for the umpteenth time. I want to see your eyes light up when you finally realize how to put two, or three, unrelated spells together to make a brand new one. I want to watch your ears flick when you hear a teeny tiny sound that takes you out of your own little bookbound world.

If you'd like to cuddle, that'd be nice too. Your steady breathing and your heartbeat are like music to me. I'd give anything in all of Equestria to be beside you right now. You always smell like an old book, it's one of my favorite smells and I'm glad I get to experience it all the time when we're together. The way your soft, love-filled chuckles hum in your chest, and how your voice softens when it's just the two of us. I don't think there'd ever be a better sound to hear than you speaking to me like I'm the most precious thing in your life. SADLY I'm running out of scroll space, though, maybe I'll follow this one up with another here soon. I love you with all of my everything, Sunburst. I'll see you when I can, okay?

Patiently and forever yours, Morbid Curiosity ♡

i don't know if you've answered this before, but why does murdoc choose to call reader "fawn?" it's very cute but knowing him there's definitely some sort of Evil Bitch Lore™ behind it in his lil head

I have answered this but some of the lore changed/I've better character insight on Fawn and Murdock so I'll link the old post and give a bit more info.

For one thing, take any lore I list for Fawn's background with a grain of salt as I'm wishy-washy with everything from Murdock's killing motives to his first name (Murdock is a middle name) and his eye color to Fawn's occupation and how they meet. As an example, previous post has Fawn being adopted, yet more recently I've rolled it back to bio-mother and stepfather. Fawn's bio-dad has a pivotal role in the story as he has from the beginning. Everything related to 'Fawn' as a nickname in that post remains true to my canon, but what I've changed is as thus: The night Fawn and Murdock meet, Fawn freezes up when faced with the threat of a murderer- ironically not the first one they face that night but they don't know this. In Murdock's mind, Fawn very much reminds him of the baby animal in question, and he mockingly refers to them as such. The intent is to remove a witness, glean information from them because he saw them interacting with the other murder, his longtime target- only for something about them, some old deja-vu to stay his hand, letting them escape... ... but they don't leave his mind.

//Sorry for all the slow activity lately. Life at home's been pretty hectic and as a result I've been a bit drained? Which sucks lol.

Do I want to try reaching out to new people and try RPing again, or is it just 3:30 in the morning

[nonbinarymarygoore]

I could see myself doing some requests for funsies with Mary and the Repugnant gang (I'm mostly talking about the second lineup but I want to get a tag on ao3 going for the other guys too).

[ex-princessvania]

the thing about cole is not only is he associated and symbolically related to death but its also sort of implied that he dies before everyone else does in s5. and then combining this with the times he comes close to dying but never actually does (turning into a ghost, fake out death in s10) definitely means....... something.

like the most in line explanation i can think of is that there is a very specific point in time that the universe has decided cole is going to die at (sad) and will ONLY let him die when he reaches that point. which. is so insane if i think abt it too long i start actually getting a headache
