Hello! Same anon as yesterday for Catch the Wind - I just wanted to add that I really love that you research things! It is so nice to see that you don't just use stereotypes of the genre. It is very refreshing as someone who takes interest in historical things! And it shows through but you don't write down all the research so it's not becoming a history book (which I personally would still read lol) but it shines through. And of course there are bound to be inacuracies because they come from the very movies themselves BUT that is ok because everything else is so well done that it just neatly sits there. Suspense of disbelief and all that I mean magic and Achtland and Jones exist soo. It doesn't HAVE to be 100% accurate but it has a very good foundation in historical stuff! (Also I am by far not an expert of anything history but still)
So thank you for not only creating and writing these characters so well but also for putting them in an invironment that I thoroughly enjoy!
Oh and. And thank you that Theo doesn't fall into the "I'm not like other girls" trope! She is strong and independent but also she doesn't have to complain about the dresses all the time in order to be so. Or the corset trope.
I just love your story so much!!
Honestly it was always kinda funny when I ended up having to do historical deep dives for the sake of literally one throwaway sentence, which was why I usually ended up putting full explanations in my notes - not just as a way of being like "I do know what I'm doing sometimes lol" but because if I could put two or three paragraphs rambling about it at the end, I didn't feel like I'd just spent an hour digging into the next best historical alternative to a coffee table would be.
Thank you! π I'm glad you enjoyed it! Avoiding the whole "not like other girls" thing was really important to me, not just because it's a gross trap to fall into. Literally the first thing I decided going into the story was that Theo and Elizabeth had to be friends, I really didn't want to make more of a thing than was wholly necessary of "boo hiss she's my competition, she's evil" especially as Elizabeth didn't return Norrington's feelings, so like? If she was a rival at all, she didn't even want to be, really? The idea of her always being at odds with the only really super prominent female character from the thing left a bad taste in my mouth. Also because it could just get so exhausting so quickly.
And it just felt so much more real and uh? More mature? I guess? For her to not mind the gowns and the dressing up for social occasions, rather than going down some weird route where she whines about the whole thing the way some 14 y/o emo kids pretend that the sight of pink makes them physically sick. Like she's a bit of a tomboy, but I never saw her as not being comfortable in her femininity either.
Like, if by the time the real drama and hardship hits, Theo has already spent 50k words by that time whining and complaining about having to wear skirts, basic gender rules of the time (deservedly or not, in that case), and crop tops being out of the question, the high-stakes hardship doesn't feel weighty, it just feels like yet another thing for her to complain about? I think she's a pretty pragmatic character, she can mostly roll with the punches, she's not going to choose something like skirts or corsets as her hill to die on, even if she finds them impractical at times. Plus I think she'd recognise that she was pretty lucky with James in that respect, because he's not really a "women should be seen and not heard" type of lad.
Plus, I know it was an actual plot point of the first movie and all, so I can mostly wave it away because of that, but the whole corset thing is one of the few things I do not like about the first one and the whole "you like pain? try wearing a corset!" line always makes me cringe π
But yeah, the movies having little slips like that really helped because it kinda gave me permission to play around with things a bit more than I could if it was 100% historically sound. Like you said, inaccuracies absolutely slipped through (some I was aware of, undoubtedly some that I wasn't, too), but I tried to approach it from a standpoint of like, if the majority of it was historically sound and reasonable enough, people would be more willing to suspend disbelief where it mattered because the rest felt believable.
I am so sorry for this beast of an answer π

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE TUKTUKKERS OVER PARTY IN MY INBOX
Deleted video.
Also I change my mind. I SUPPORT THEMπ
If the video says, the video SAID. Gotta play by tuktukker's own rules don't we?
They should stop barking up the wrong tree. Hybe can't do anything if it's true. They gonna stop drop and roll till it goes away on its own or threaten to sue ppl for violating the privacy of their artist and leave yall hanging.
It's sus how this video was taken with staff casually doing his hair while he melts away like cheeseπ₯²
They must trust these ppl so much- couldn't be me.
I'm digging a mass grave for tuktukkers and I need no help
If there's one thing I'm weak for it's vulnerability in a man and Tae- hear me out...
I'd be a big fat liar if I said this wasn't healthy for him. And by this I don't mean miss J, I mean an intimate relationship. We all need somebody and for the longest time this man was groaning and moaning on these streets and in his songs it was hard to bear.
I'm genuinely happy for him in that regard. For the boys' wellbeing I hope they are getting laid and they have intimate relationships that fulfills them beyond what they have with eachother. Not to sound so biblical but it's not right for man to be alone. Sigh.
I seriously hope toxic stans don't make this about them.
And I don't suppose Hybe is going to coerce him into denouncing her and denying his affections for her so publicly- whoever the her in this video is π
If a man declares to the world you ain't shit and a fart, guess what? YOU AIN'T SHIT AND A FART my dear Mijoo. Yall tried it with that oneπ₯΄
Unless it is hybe intentionally leaking these videos to avoid direct confrontation with fans- and I won't be surprised if that's the case cos the angles on the video us sus- i mean it looks like it came from the Bangtan bomb cams or someone did some serious cropping for nefarious reasons. either way, this is a serious violation of his privacy and is tantamount to revenge corn.
Especially if whoever is leaking them is doing so knowingly and hoping it will have a devastating impact on his reputation and career- this is where I cite case law to support my argument but i won't cause I say so. The queen is dead. Long live this negress π
Tae should just post "all the rumors are true" yeah
Or a song from Lizzo and get it over with- burn holes in chests and shit. We deserve it king π€΄
They shouldn't be stingy. They should take us along the journey all through out the phases- the pining stage, the honey moon phase and when they start throwing shoes at each other, I want in.
Their music is going to be so lit π₯π₯π₯
I can't wait for his album.
If it turns out he was just talking to park Jimin all along I SWEAR TO GODπ
Ait I'll be camping on Dispatch's pages see ya- not that I expect them to go after any of the boys from BTS π
Signed,
Low key abouta ship it
