Hello hello! I've been looking at your blog a bit but have been a little too shy to request anything until now.
I was wondering if you could do some kind of eduardian/european progressive era/1910s inspired stim board with calm, warm lighting
Also anything with pearls, lace, canes, etc is awesome :Dc
Ty for your time and everything you do!
Aww, I'm glad you did get the courage to ask! These really specific ones can be so much fun to work with, I hope this turned out how you were hoping c:

For the ask: 7, 12, 94, 98
7. Earbuds or headphones?
Headphones for comfort, earbuds when I wanna noise-cancel (VERY handy for sensory overload in public lol)
12. Name of your favorite playlist?
I donât have one tbh ^^â I only have a playlist made for when Iâm working out, which is just called âgym.â
Iâve been listening to a short lofi album on repeat recently while writing though, if that counts?? Itâs called Haunted Castle and itâs by Dosi!!
94. Favorite season?
Either fall or winter!! I canât stand hot weather or when itâs sunny out ïœĄïŸ(ïŸÂŽÏ`ïŸ)ïŸïœĄ
98. Favorite historical era?
Ooooo this one is hard because Iâve never been big on history really lol. I guess the Victorian/Eduardian era aesthetics are really fun, if that counts for anything

No Beta all mistakes are mine. (I have tense issues, I know)
Spring, 1905
Thereâs a haze surrounding your vision as you come to, unsure of where you are or how you got there. Your head throbs, you mustâve had too much champagne, though you donât remember having more than a second glass. Your mother and father will be furious, youâre a young lady eligible for marriage, and the night was meant for you to find a suitable prospect.
As your vision clears you try to become more aware of your surroundings. A chill runs through your body, and you realize that youâve been stripped down to nothing more than your undergarments, and silk sheets lie underneath you. You try to sit up, and with a cursory glance, you can see attached to posts of the bed, are long leather straps, which, to your horror, are connected to your wrists.
You struggle, using the little give that the straps have to offer to try and get yourself free. You start to panic, breathing heavier as you flail your arms and legs in an attempt to free yourself from the unwanted bonds. A low chuckling comes from somewhere else in the room, wherever you are, itâs clear to you now that youâre not alone. Your heart races faster as you tug at the straps again, hoping in vain, something will give and you can leave this place.
You twist your arms as far as you can stopping as soon as the pain becomes too much to bear. You grunt and groan, maybe if you make enough noise, someone will find you and get you back to your parents, and you can leave with some of your virtue intact. In the midst of everything, you can hear a second, distinct voice. Thereâs something vaguely familiar about the two voices, but you canât place either of them, youâd been introduced to well over fifty men since you presented in court just six months ago.
âPlease,â you whimper, âI donât know who you are. Please let me go.â
The two muffled voices stop for a moment, and the shuffling of feet make their way towards you. The mask that you begged your father for still rests on your face, you curse yourself for demanding such an opulent thing, these men must think your family is well off, and that they can ransom your parents. The truth is, your family is relying on you to make a good match to a wealthy family, so that their debts may be paid off.
A large, calloused hand grazes your calf, while another, even larger hand mimics the actions, caressing your legs all the way up to what little underclothes you still have on. You jerk against their touches, unable to do anything else. The man to the left brandishes a blade, and your breath hitches in horror at the realization that heâs most likely going to kill you. Your father had recently told you of multiple unsolved murders in London, all young women, their insides mutilated. If these are the same men, you have no chance of escaping, all you can do is hope that if that is their plan, they'll have mercy and give you a quick death.
Tears flood your eyes as the man with the knife drags the sharp edge against your wrist. Momentary relief fills you, as you naively believe that he will free you of your bonds, he tuts at you, before moving the blade up your arm. It scrapes your skin, not enough to draw blood, but enough to make your heart thump faster in your chest. It becomes painfully obvious that whatever the two men have in store for you, they donât plan on giving you any sense of relief. Dread fills you, and you look up at the man, hoping that maybe if he sees the trepidation in your eyes heâll show you some kind of compassion. A plain mask obscures most of his face, and all you can make out are fiercely green eyes.
âPlease,â you choke out, âI just want to get back to my parents.â
Green-eyes smirks, and leans down to grab you by the chin, forcing you to look at him as he brings the blade only inches away from your face. The second manâs hand hovers over your still covered pussy, and he grunts at green-eyes, who hands over the blade. The second man is impossibly tall, with long chestnut locks framing his covered face. A wift of cool air breezes against your now exposed pussy, and he runs the blade against your stomach, before handing it back to the man on your left. He brings the blade close to your face, but you canât see where it is thanks to the mask still resting against you. You close your eyes as you hear a rip, and when you open them, you find that your mask is gone, and both men have discarded theirs as well. Americans, you remember meeting them only a few weeks ago. The Queen had, for some reason, allowed them to come to court, which before was unheard of, but no one dared to question Her Royal Highness.
Winchester. That was their name. The other ladies of the court were fawning all the brothers, they could have anyone they wanted, so why were you tied up like some animal?
âSirs, please,â you sob, unable to hold your tears back any longer. â I wonât say anything to anyone. My familyâ we have no money. There is nothing I can give you.â
âOh, sweetheart,â Dean slides the knife against your cheek. âWe donât want any money, your Queen has already paid us handsomely for our services.â
Your stomach drops as you realize what they want, and theyâre going to take it whether you want them to or not. You flail against your bonds, trying and failing over and over again to free yourself. You only stop moving when Dean brings the blade against your cheek, pressing firmly enough that you can feel a trickle of blood roll down amongst your tears.
âIâd hate to scar up this pretty face,â Dean tsks, âbut donât think I wonât. You donât need a perfect complexion for what we have in store for you, does she Sammy?â
Sam grunts in agreement, and you cry out for your mother and father.
âHush, hush, darling,â Dean tuts, covering your mouth with his giant hand. There seems to be a sincerity in his voice, but it is gone before you can even process his words. âI know what youâre thinkinâ,â Your eyes widen as you turn to face Sam, heâs already half-naked, and thereâs a noticeable bulge in his trousers. âAnd sweetheart, you canât imagine.â
âPlease, donât!â
âMaybe, if youâre a good girl, Iâll let Sammy warm you up before he sticks his cock in you,â Dean says as Sam palms himself, and you turn your attention back to the older brother. Dean fiddles with the knife, as if he feels the need to remind you that you are completely at his and Samâs mercy.
âWhatâs going to be, Y/N?â Dean asks as he removes his shirt, and the bed dips as Sam climbs in the forced space between your legs. âSammy has no problem going in there dry, do ya Sammy?â
âWanna taste her,â Sam grumbles, but doesnât move from his spot between your legs. Itâs the first time youâve ever heard him speak, and it sends chills down your spine.
Samâs eyes are filled with hunger as he stares down at your virgin pussy. He licks his lips, and slowly strokes his now-free cock.
âHave you ever let someone taste you, Y/N?â Dean rids himself of the rest of his clothes, and you gasp at the size of his cock. Youâd never seen one this close before, you had, in fact, never seen one at all, outside of a textbook drawing.
Dean sets the blade down, and nuzzles against your neck, sucking marks onto you, before moving up and placing almost sweet kisses against your mouth and jaw. Warmth pools in your belly against your will, and you hate your body for betraying you, becoming more aroused as Sam and Dean continue touching you.
âSheâs gushing, De,â Sam chortles and heat fills your cheeks. You donât want this, you donât want to lose your virginity to anyone other than your future husband. âLemme taste her,â Sam runs a finger through your folds, slightly brushing over your clit.
âIs that what you want, baby?â Dean's mouth leaves your neck, and for a moment you think heâs talking to you, but then, he turns around to face his brother and presses his lips against Samâs. Deanâs hand runs over Samâs taught body, replacing Samâs hand with his own around his cock. Youâre shocked at the sight before you, youâd never seen two men kiss, let alone touch each other the way the brothers were. Sam moans against Deanâs lips, and Dean tugs him back by his long locks, if it wasnât clear before, it was now obvious that Dean was the one in charge. You squirm as the brothers continue kissing over your naked body, tongues dancing together, and heat fills you from toes to fingers. Dean pulls away from his brother, and youâre sure you can hear a whimper leave Samâs mouth.
âAre you upset that weâre not including you, Princess?â He snickers, eyes landing on your pussy, and you can feel the wetness pooling.
âPlease, let me go,â you beg again. âI give you my word, sirs, I will speak of this to no one.â
âThatâs not how this is gonna work, sweetheart. Our father is already telling your father that weâd like you to come with us. See, Sammy and me, weâre gonna need someone to help carry on the Winchester name, and it looks like youâre the perfect girl to do it.â Dean picks up the blade once again, âdonât you understand? Youâre ours.â
Were your parents really just going to sell you off to the Winchesters without even informing you first? And Dean was making one point painfully clear; it didnât matter who you married, you would now be the property of the Winchester family, and they can and will use you however you want.
Dean grips your jaw again, making you face him, as he climbs over you, his legs on either side of your chest, his thick cock jutting out from his body. He twirls the knife in his hands before slicing through your corset. You canât see past him as he rips the bodice off of you, and his eyes stare down at your breasts. Dean massages them gently for a moment, and you feel the swipe of what has to be
Samâs tongue against your pussy lips.
Sam fucks you with his tongue relentlessly, and you hate that you're getting pleasure from something you donât want. An involuntary moan leaves your lips, and you can feel Sam hum in amusement as you canât control your body. Dean plays with your tits, and leaves love bites all over them, before climbing even further up your body and taps the spongy tip of his cock against your lips.
You can see Deanâs patience growing thin as you refuse to open your mouth, and he turns his head to Sam, and you close your eyes, trying desperately to fight off what you can only assume is an orgasm. Suddenly, a finger is teasing your weeping hole, gathering your slick and then entering you. Samâs mouth returns to your clit as he adds another finger, and you can no longer keep your mouth shut, forming a perfect âoâ as the coil inside you finally snaps.
Dean slides his cock into your mouth without hesitation, and begins fucking you with as much enthusaism as Sam. Neither brother stops, Sam, working you through your first orgasm, and to your shame and horror, another one following closely behind.
âSheâs so tight, De,â you hear Sam over the sound of Dean fucking your mouth. âDefinitely a virgin.â
Dean pulls away from you, and the brothers in well-coordinated dance switch
places, Sam moves to the side of the bed, slipping his cock into your mouth as Dean takes his place between your legs.
âOh, Sammy, sheâs dripping,â Dean says with a sly grin. âDid Sammy eat this cunt good?â Dean asks as he notches his tip at your entrance. It burns as he pushes into you, the only thing keeping you from screaming is Samâs cock in your mouth.
Tears slide down your face as the brothers abuse your mouth and your pussy, unable to do anything but wait until theyâre done with you.
âDean asked you a question, Y/N.â Sam pulls himself out of your mouth, his cock covered in your saliva. He gathers you by the hair, yanking your head back, and you yelp out in pain. âTell him how much you loved getting your cunt eaten. Tell him you want him to cum in your pussy.â
You repeat Samâs words, and Deanâs pace quickens before his hips begin to stutter. With a final, deliberate thrust, Deanâs body stiffens, and you feel his cock twitch inside you as he coats your walls with his seed. As soon as he pulls out, Sam is back in his spot, entering you in a swift move. Dean watches from the side as you squirm under Sam, Dean may be thicker, but Sam is longer, and slam of hips make his cock hit your cervix.
At some point one of the brothers undid the bindings around your ankles, and you donât realize it until Sam is throwing them around his shoulders, allowing him to hit new angles inside of you. Heâs tightening the coil once again, and as his cock hits that sweet spot inside of you, his thumb swipes at your clit, and no matter how hard you try to fight it, and even more intense orgasm rips through you.
âLook at the mess she made, De,â Sam laughs as he briefly slows down. âBet we could both get in here if we wanted.â Dean moves back towards you and Sam, chuckling as he looks down to see the now ruined sheets underneath you.
âCreamed up his cock so good, Y/N.â
Dean leans in, and once again presses his lips against Samâs. Sam doesnât slow, and the sound of his hips slapping against yours fills the room. Tears stream down your cheeks as Sam chases after his own release. But neither brother is focused on you anymore, and Sam wraps his hand around Deanâs half-hard cock, jerking it in time with every thrust he makes into you.
âIâm gonna cum,â Sam whispers as Dean pulls away.
âMe too, baby. Cum in that tight little pussy, then Iâll let you finish me off. Do it, Sammy,â he orders, âbreed her.â
Sam picks up his pace once again, and with half a dozen more thrusts you can once again feel your walls being coated with Winchester seed. Samâs mouth is on Deanâs cock, bobbing up and down until Dean stills, and when he pulls away, the brotherâs share another passionate kiss.
âI see you boys started without me,â another voice enters the room. The brothers shoot each other a look before moving off the bed and stand on either side. The man comes into view; you donât recognize him, heâs older, your fatherâs age at least.
âSorry, Sir.â
The man notices the mess between your legs, and shakes his head at the brothers. A sly grin forms on his face, and he licks his lips, there's hunger, a lust, even more so than Sam or Dean, as he takes in your naked form.
You wish you could disappear, the brothers have already used you in more ways than you could imagine and now there is someone else. You want to cry, you wish you could, but all that comes out is a whimper, begging for them to let you go.
The older man lets out a breathy, low, chuckle as you squirm, his long digits leaving feather light touches as it travels back towards your abused hole. A groan leaves you as he tentatively pushes a finger in, and then another and pumps them a few times, before bringing them to your lips. He's coated in the remnants of Sam and Dean's cum, and orders you to open your mouth.
You're too scared to do anything but obey, letting the thick fingers that were just in your pussy sit on your tongue and he orders you to suck.
âLooks like my boys took good care of you, darlinâ,â The man removes his shirt and trousers before climbing on to the bed, his body on top of yours. âGot that cunt of yours ready for Daddy?â You donât respond, but Sam or Dean, you're not sure who, murmurs something. âGood, âcause you think my boys are big? Darlin' you ainât seen nothinâ yet.â

Prompt from @ultraviolet-ink : Susato!
Okay, so your watching the quarterfinals of The Great British Bakeshow. The contestants finally get the technical challenge and itâs like, some sort of really obscure, late Eduardian era teacake from Sweden. And everyone is like âwhat the actual hell, I have never SEEN this thing before I donât even KNOW what it looks likeâ. And then the camera pans to the tent where Paul and Mary/Prue are drinking salty tears over this edible, tri-color, double stuffed pillow with a perfect, golden crust finish. And Paul is like âI am eating literal heaven, and not a single one of these wank offs are going to pull it offâ. Imagine hugging that. That is the hug you are in for with this girl.
I have not played The Great Ace Attorney yet, because Iâm looking for work and my house is currently on fire. But I canât help but look at this and go JESUS. This is going to be a hug so good, itâs going to make me feel awkward and undeserving. I can almost smell the top-shelf detergent from hugging this lady. Not the the store brand shit, weâre talking real goddamn flowers or the Swiss Alps or whatever.
Alas, all is not well in paradise. Every woman in Ace Attorney has some quirk. Maya it was burgers, Trucy it was petty street crime, Emma it was underemployment. Iâm getting...cats. Yes. Definitely a cat vibe from this one. Sheâs got at least two in her sleeves, look at that. You hug this woman and you will come back with a downy layer of cat sheddings.
But you know what? I call that a feature, not a bug. Does the human cinnabon want to give you a hug? You say âYES MAâAMâ and try not to make her regret her act of mercy. Also, give her cats a treat. Anyway, stay tuned for 5-10 years from now when I play GAA and learn sheâs actually the one who killed Liam in Season Eight.
FINAL HUGGABLE SCORE: 9/10

oh boi, i drew this a while ago with the plan to call her Wail, but then I also forgot about it and started calling her Afiliciel and now I cant decide :,o
Sheâs the demon baab from the Tearduct Pact storyline I got cooking lol. Notes in text cuz I know my handwriting is chickenscratch:
- Biped/Quadruped. Bones crunch when she changes (a disgustingly brutal sound huehuehue)
- Angel Wings. Confuses everyone. (As she levels up and sticks to her human, her wings become like this due to her evilness still having a level of purity behind their intentions. Think of it like Fableâs morality chart. Theres Good/Evil and Pure/Corrupt. This gal is Pure of heart, but Evil.)
- Raspy forked tongue. (Like a mix of a catâs and lizardâs.)
- Has an Ultra Secret human form. Not very good. (Lololol most demons go for either inconspicious/normie human looks, or stunningly beautiful bodies depending on their needs. They can change their skins like Eduardian Era ladies changed dresses once they hit a level high enough. This gal though? Chose one and never felt the need to make another one. Too much work~! And the one they made? One petite and fuzzy gal with a face that attracts attention for the wrong reasons.)
i love her lol

Queen Alexandra Carolina Maria Carlota LuĂsa JĂșlia was born in Copenhagen on December 1, 1844 and died at Sandringham on November 20, 1925. She was the wife of King Edward VII and queen consort of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1901 to 1910 .
When she married Prince Edward VII in 1863, she became Princess of Wales and thus began to become a fashion icon. Her wedding dress was made by fashion designer Charles Worth.
She was known to like to adorn herself excessively and was never seen without jewelry, despite wearing fake jewelry when it suited her.
Among the trends she launched, the most copied were: The pearl choker, which she used to hide a scar on her neck; excess jewelry; and the change in her dresses to adapt her limp, left by the time she contracted rheumatic fever. With the modifications to the dresses came the introduction of the Edwardian petticoat, modifying the female silhouette. The limp was also copied by the women of the time, who also started to walk on a crutch to become more like Alexandra.
An interesting curiosity is an event in which King Eduard, who, after being crowned, became extremely formal in the way he dressed, scolded his wife who thought her honorific band was better inside out, making her change before going out in public.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Here we can see an example of before and after the Alexandra petticoat, first, on the left side, we see a dress from the Victorian era (the queen in force before King Edward and his wife) and then a dress from the Edwardian era, in which it was used the Alexandra petticoat.
Victorian era.
Eduardian era.

Painted Ladies: A Few Photographs of Victorian Style Homes
By Darren Smith, Weekend Contributor
A Painted Lady describes a coloring schema of Victorian and Eduardian style houses common of the era between the middle 19th century to the 1910s yet repainted starting in the 1960s to accentuate the architecture through the use of many differing colors, often to a great level of precision (Some attaining not quite a Jan Van Eyck granularity but certainly above that of McMansions blighting many neighborhoods.
Here are a few for your enjoyment. Click each to enlarge.
I must apologize for not having the presence of mind to check the camera prior to the shoot, and suffering the resultant exospheric level ISO setting. It was dissappointing in that I intended to make many closeups to study the nooks and architecture of these various houses, but the grain and noise levels were too great and I otherwise chose not to channel my inner Georges Seurat. A subsequent visit to what could have been a colorful adjunct, a visit to tulip farms, crashed actually worse. Perhaps next year Iâll partake in the tulip mania.
Being not a man of the Nineteenth Century, I cannot extrapolate on whether during the time of construction these homes were viewed as overly ostentatious or were crafted for a consumer who wanted a little more than a bungalow but not a mansion. Yet they were drafted it surely seems by someone having a hand for creation and an eye for elegance. The homes stand in my view in bitter contrast to the devolution of style with McMansions sold to the pretentious who lack artistry, vision, and restraint.
 One ritual I practiced during my college years was to drive home a different way every few times to visit a different neighborhood of the city I resided within. More often than not I found myself immersed in the same types of architecture, the Edwardian and Victorian homes. I remember promising myself that at some point in the future, I would have one of these. But life and I did not agree on the same furnishings. I do find it in many respects more agreeable to have a home equipped with century-old technology only, but Iâll splurge for modernity a little and forego shoveling coal into the furnace each day.
 Dâoh, a deer, a female dear.
 The above photographâit is not apparentâbut it seems a whale serves as a Weather Vane. I never fully considered a cetacean circularizing the wind direction. I thought that the domain of the rooster. But I suppose as long as one is simply announcing the current wind direction, any animal will suffice. (and they surely wonât fall victim to public shaming for incorrect prediction as does Punxsutawney Phil via his nemesis, the Lorenz Attractor.)
On a side note, this particular location seems to have suffered a rout. My prior visit here found it quite cold yet fully stocked with visitors and shops welcoming their dollars. Now with some exceptions all are closed. Most have signs stating a virus caused the closure. Thatâs some virus, able it seems to manipulate the macroscopic world into causing shops to close, transforming itself into a business wrecking hegemon that persuaded merchants to close or be thrown in jail. Amazing what a strand of RNA can do! I thought all along these closures were caused by an organism called a Politician, whoâs epicenter lies at the state capitol. But what do I know? I just write blog articles on weekends.
I suppose if people must be required to stay in a home it might as well have some flair to it.
