quotes by Victorians about the 1920s view of their generation's women

"We are frequently told that the Victorian woman...generally behaved like a pampered and neurotic infant. This is all moonshine. I do not think that I ever saw a woman faint before I came to London in 1869, and not often after then...they enjoyed a hearty laugh, and a good many of them a contest of wits with any man." -Nineteenth Century, a Monthly Review, 1927 (written by a man born in 1850)

"What queer ideas the girl of 1929 has about the Victorian period- they are not a bit true...Marriage was by no means the end and aim of our existence. Oxford and Cambridge claimed quite a few of us after school days were over. We had great ideas about 'life' and what it all might mean to us." -St. Petersburg Times, 1929 (written by a woman born in 1853)

"True, debutantes were chaperoned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as frequently as they chose with their favorite partners. The idea that girls in the Victorian era spent their days sewing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy." -Gettysburg Times, July 1, 1927 (quote from the Dowager Lady Raglan, Ethel Jemima Somerset, who lived from 1857 to 1940)

#history #when they were still alive to defend themselves #maybe- much as I rag on modern historical fiction -we've gotten a bit closer to the truth than our grandparents did #see this is one reason I love studying the Victorian era (besides hoarding their detritus like a dragon I mean what)#it just is One Of The Eras Of All Time in pop culture #and it means so much to so many people that getting to the real human bottom of it fascinates me #spoiler: it boils down to 'people were people and always have been'

I think it's really funny that everyone seems to be misinterpreting the recent Ratiorine crumbs we got, running with the idea that Aventurine thinks Ratio is actually a gentle scholar.

In the original video, Tingyun starts listing off people working with her group as models, but she only describes rather than names them: she has a lazy general (Jing Yuan), a gentle scholar (Ruan Mei), and a cool/laconic swordsman (Blade--how she got him, lord only knows).

Aventurine then gets visibly confused (that's what his "?" is all about), because the people that come to his mind for "general," "scholar," and "swordsman" don't remotely fit the adjectives Tingyun used. He thinks of Feixiao (the opposite of lazy), Sushang (the opposite of edgy), and, of course Ratio--the opposite of gentle. (As @hundredsspoons pointed out too, the Ratio emoji used is even the angry one where Ratio is throwing his e-chalk; this doctor is at his least gentle, lol.)

It's still definitely a Ratiorine crumb; Aventurine's first thought for "scholar who is hot enough to be a model" is Ratio, rather than any woman, but this is actually Aventurine thinking of Ratio as the dead opposite of Tingyun's description; he is not affirming Ratio is deep down secretly a marshmallow here.

Aventurine knows his man is a bit of an ass and accepts it as-is. 😂

#ratiorine #aventio #honkai star rail #aventurine #dr. ratio #this is one of those things I was warning about earlier #with the fandom kind of taking something and running with it #like hold on #slow down #watch the video a little closer my friends #😂😂😂#I know we're all parched for ratiorine content but before we start mischaracterizing #double checkkkkk lolol #also to the million people whose asks are still sitting in my inbox #I'm sorry #real life has been a freaking nightmare over the last two months

some more character studies ehe

#one piece #vinsmoke sanji #roronoa zoro #tony tony chopper #nico robin #art #the highest honor i can give to a character is to make them smoke when theres nothing suggesting the do it in canon #its like my personal art love language #sanji is leaning on the rail angstily type of a smoker. robin is squatting casually on thr ship deck type of smoker #also i grew up in the region that has active reindeer farming. i just had to color chopper closer to a real reindeer

Rereading the Our Worlds at War tie-in again and God I miss their friendship every day

#they're such an underrated dynamic from this series #like throughout yj98 there's a definite distance between tim and everybody else since he can't reveal his identity to them #and cassie is definitely way closer to cissie and kon and bart than she is to him bc of that distance #and you can feel that awkwardness here in the way she apologizes to him immediately -- they're not at the level #where she can just shout and be mean to him and know it'll be fine -- not like she is with cissie or kon #but for tim -- i think he is at that level? like he wouldn't shout at her either but that's cause he's generally sweet to the yj girls #he doesn't butt heads with cassie like he does with the guys - but i also think she's someone he trusts to have his back in a very real way #and i think it's really telling that when everybody was confronting him about batman's contingencies it was CASSIE'S opinion #he asked for -- like she was the last person he thought would think that of him #obligatory 'the two people who died in his granny goodness nightmare were cassie and kon'#idk there's such an undercurrent of care even if they don't get as many 'this is my best friend' moments like some of the others #aghhhh #and the way cassie so clearly respects his opinion and is so worried he'll be mad at her when she replaces him as leader #the way she's the first one to hug him when he comes back to the team after he quits #oof. OOF. they're friends they're friends they LOVE EACH OTHER #sorry everyone i'm getting all up in my feelings again that they're the only ones left after infinite crisis #tim drake #cassie sandsmark #dc robin #wonder girl #young just us #young justice #yj98 #dc comics #cassie tag #tim tag #gnome talks comics

trying a linocut-leaning style (best viewed on desktop, mobile crushes the quality massively)

#normally i wouldn’t mention it but this one got hit real bad #this pic went through so many changes. originally was gonna be a simple black-white repeating pattern with fairly consistent line weigh #that was inspired by a nice pic of flying birds in a similar style. it got swallowed by my dash though : \#couldn't remember the name of what that style was closer to the bird pic but i rediscovered linocuts so it all worked out #iz #invader zim #dib membrane #quimser art

#Lucy MacLean #fallout tv series #fallout #idk what to tag as #closer up of her face cause I like it less from farther away -_-#what a pip boy actually looks like has been lost to science unfortunately #science also hasn't figured out how to draw hands or guns or hands holding guns or feet from that weird angle #science hasn't figured out how to get a reference of that either because it just can't be bothered #remains another one of lifes beautiful mysteries i'm afraid #while watching the tv show I was like “ha! her face is going to be soooooooo easy to draw”#and then the first thing I did was draw her at a really difficult angle that I had no real reference for #and I wanted to abandon these sketches immediately #i've been humbled #YES I wanna draw the ghoul too

kamen rider shion was just revealed for ride kamens, and he looks like he's themed after the... horse orphnoch? this is an even bigger surprise than the jin and woz homages

trying to speculate on Ride Kamens characters pre-reveal really is like

#ride kamens #not art sorry #(still gotta draw something for SUPER POSITIVE MAN too whoops)#joseimuke games are serious business #i am NOT complaining i think it's great that they're not restricting themselves to main riders or even like...main characters #but horse orphnoch feels like...an extremely weird pull #i have not seen faiz so i don't know anything about him as a character beyond a quick google #still feels weird to do a non-rider though?#i mean shion seems very lovable and i do enjoy having a character i can just shout HORSEBOOOOOY about #he was the one i was convinced was brave though! DANGIT #the specter of a possible ikemen poppy looms closer...#though any ex-aid rep won't be poppy let's be real here #at this rate it's going to be like. burgermon.#do i dare hope for such a miracle #(is that one guy with the wolf/dog tail going to be garulu then)#(or maybe he's thouser's dog robot WHO KNOWS)#truly ride kamens is a kingdom of infinite possibilities

underrated garashir scene is when Garak makes THIS gesture right in Julian's face

#But you don't need me to tell you Doctor! Just notice the details! They're scattered like crumbs all over this table we regularly share!#garashir #this post needs a good pussy galore related punchline to really make it but I can't come up with one I'm just like damn. dyke behavior.#Star Trek: Deep Space 9 #my gifs #actually the reason I was rewatching this scene was to get a closer look at his outfit as a potential cosplay. the shoulder piping!!#I unironically think this outfit fucks. the Move Along Home of Garak suits. everybody else talks shit about it but real recognizes real <3 #Starky's original posts

Smell Check [Easy: Failure]

MDZS Disco Elysium AU part 1 (part 2 - part 3)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #disco elysium #MDZS Disco Elysium AU #So sad I didn't manage to get this comic out on the 15th (pd-mdzs's 8 month anniversary and DE's 4th year anniversary) but I'm here *now*#I have a very extensive and detailed MDZS Disco Elysium AU that I am Not Normal About.#I've seen a few other people point out the potential in a crossover (true) but they make the mistake in having it be set in 51!#A true crossover would take place closer to The Antecentennial Revolution!#Disco Elysium did not go that hard on its cool lore for people to only make surface level crossovers!!!#One day I'll write the fic or post my notes. I don't know who would read it but it tickles *my* brain and that's enough.#No spoilers for DE (here or in comments (please)) but please consider....Magpie Wei Wuxian B*) On his way to be an innocent.#I do think there is a good chance a chunk of the MDZS readership would enjoy DE but...it's also not a game I easily recommend #It's more of an experience you have to marinate over. It's dark in ways that are off putting to some people.#It makes you feel like a very bad person all the time. It gets extremely personal if you allow yourself to be honest in your answers #and it's also the game that saved my life. My life was truly forever changed after playing disco elysium.#If I recommend it to people it's a badge of the trust I have in you to appreciate something dear to me B'*)#If you decide to play: PLEASE go in as blind as possible. You will regret spoiling yourself.#edit: this is based on real disco elysium dialogue. HDB has many canon kinks but this is not one of them

Charles being aware of all the memes about him and Carlos staring lovingly at each other is making me insane

#I can’t get over this #maybe he shows one meme to Carlos one day because he thinks it’s funny and then Carlos starts teasing him about it #and they laugh about it like they always do but Charles is now aware that maybe he actually does like Carlos #and maybe he starts thinking about all the times he got lost in his thoughts while staring at Carlos #thinking about what it would feel like to run his fingers through his perfect hair or how his bottom lip looks so kissable #maybe he stops laughing and stares at Carlos and Carlos is suddenly aware that maybe this is actually real #that he wasn’t imagining it all along #that Charles actually does stare at him too the same way he stares at Charles sometimes #that he always laughs about it to make it less awkward #that maybe they should talk about this for once… or maybe he should just pull him closer and kiss him and see where this goes…#charlos #mypost

SET ONE - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE

"Lament for Icarus" (2020 - Miao He) / "Lament for Icarus" (1898 - Herbert Draper)

MIAO HE: [no additional commentary provided]

HERBERT DRAPER: It is a sad picture, yes, but mainly it fills me with some kind of melancholy and calmness. The golden colours, still speaking of the sun, his apparently unhurt body, brown and human in contrast to the white nereids... He seems like he's sleeping and maybe he's finally happy and free :') (stardoused)

(Miao He's painting is a digital piece done in 2020 as a new take on the original piece from 1898. you can find Miao He's artstation here!

Herbert Draper was an English painter who painted this piece in 1898. "Lament for Icarus" is an oil on canvas painting that's currently owned by Tate Britain, a free to visit art gallery located in London. The piece is 180cm x 150cm (5.9ft x 4.9 ft)!)

Just Peri giving Dev some well deserved sleep No other reason, Dev is simply tired, you see @cubbihue, wouldn't you agree?

And I'm sure he'll wake super happy!
