The wedding of Caroline Fletcher and Charles Davenport (in which I got way too invested)

[fatehbaz]

[T]he Dutch Republic, like its successor the Kingdom of the Netherlands, [...] throughout the early modern period had an advanced maritime [trading, exports] and (financial) service [banking, insurance] sector. Moreover, Dutch involvement in Atlantic slavery stretched over two and a half centuries. [...] Carefully estimating the scope of all the activities involved in moving, processing and retailing the goods derived from the forced labour performed by the enslaved in the Atlantic world [...] [shows] more clearly in what ways the gains from slavery percolated through the Dutch economy. [...] [This web] connected them [...] to the enslaved in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, as well as in non-Dutch colonies such as Saint Domingue [Haiti], which was one of the main suppliers of slave-produced goods to the Dutch economy until the enslaved revolted in 1791 and brought an end to the trade. [...] A significant part of the eighteenth-century Dutch elite was actively engaged in financing, insuring, organising and enabling the slave system, and drew much wealth from it. [...] [A] staggering 19% (expressed in value) of the Dutch Republic's trade in 1770 consisted of Atlantic slave-produced goods such as sugar, coffee, or indigo [...].

---

One point that deserves considerable emphasis is that [this slave-based Dutch wealth] [...] did not just depend on the increasing output of the Dutch Atlantic slave colonies. By 1770, the Dutch imported over fl.8 million worth of sugar and coffee from French ports. [...] [T]hese [...] routes successfully linked the Dutch trade sector to the massive expansion of slavery in Saint Domingue [the French colony of Haiti], which continued until the early 1790s when the revolution of the enslaved on the French part of that island ended slavery.

Before that time, Dutch sugar mills processed tens of millions of pounds of sugar from the French Caribbean, which were then exported over the Rhine and through the Sound to the German and Eastern European ‘slavery hinterlands’.

---

Coffee and indigo flowed through the Dutch Republic via the same trans-imperial routes, while the Dutch also imported tobacco produced by slaves in the British colonies, [and] gold and tobacco produced [by slaves] in Brazil [...]. The value of all the different components of slave-based trade combined amounted to a sum of fl.57.3 million, more than 23% of all the Dutch trade in 1770. [...] However, trade statistics alone cannot answer the question about the weight of this sector within the economy. [...] 1770 was a peak year for the issuing of new plantation loans [...] [T]he main processing industry that was fully based on slave-produced goods was the Holland-based sugar industry [...]. It has been estimated that in 1770 Amsterdam alone housed 110 refineries, out of a total of 150 refineries in the province of Holland. These processed approximately 50 million pounds of raw sugar per year, employing over 4,000 workers. [...] [I]n the four decades from 1738 to 1779, the slave-based contribution to GDP alone grew by fl.20.5 million, thus contributing almost 40% of all growth generated in the economy of Holland in this period. [...]

---

These [slave-based Dutch commodity] chains ran from [the plantation itself, through maritime trade, through commodity processing sites like sugar refineries, through export of these goods] [...] and from there to European metropoles and hinterlands that in the eighteenth century became mass consumers of slave-produced goods such as sugar and coffee. These chains tied the Dutch economy to slave-based production in Suriname and other Dutch colonies, but also to the plantation complexes of other European powers, most crucially the French in Saint Domingue [Haiti], as the Dutch became major importers and processers of French coffee and sugar that they then redistributed to Northern and Central Europe. [...]

The explosive growth of production on slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, combined with the international boom in coffee and sugar consumption, ensured that consistently high proportions (19% in 1770) of commodities entering and exiting Dutch harbors were produced on Atlantic slave plantations. [...] The Dutch economy profited from this Atlantic boom both as direct supplier of slave-produced goods [from slave plantations in the Dutch Guianas, from Dutch processing of sugar from slave plantations in French Haiti] and as intermediary [physically exporting sugar and coffee] between the Atlantic slave complexes of other European powers and the Northern and Central European hinterland.

This 1790 home that looks so nice all year long is in Scotia, Pennsylvania and it’s an interesting opportunity. The 1st fl. is an antique shop and the residence is upstairs. Of course, it can be converted back, but the new owner would have to bring the kitchen back downstairs. It has 3bd. 3ba. and is $500K. 

Now, if I bought it, even though my mom had an antique shop, I would want to make this part into a home, b/c it’s such an historic piece of Americana. Look at the those stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings and all the wonderful original features.

This house has 7 stone fireplaces. 

The hall and stairs to both the shop and the apt. I guess the sign says “Private.” 

See? I really like the first floor better. There’s big modern kitchen/dining room up here.

There’s another of those stone fireplaces.

It’s cute up here, but I like the old Colonial look of the 1st floor.

The main bd. is very large.

I wonder if they put a wall up here, b/c why would there be a fireplace in a hall?

Maybe they put this bath in. 

I don’t know what this is, but they don’t seem to be using it- there’s laundry in here.

Here’s a nice big attic bd. It’s kind of cozy.

Beautiful porch in the back of the house.

There’s also a garage w/a barn for storage, plus a parking lot. 

I would imagine that this above-ground pool conveys b/c it has deck on it.

ARTEMENDOLINE

THE MANDOLIN IN LONDON

Obras instrumentales poco conocidas para mandolina barroca y conjunto, así como para soprano y mandolina barroca, que exploran la creciente popularidad de la mandolina en la Gran Bretaña del siglo XVIII.

Consíguelo AQUÍ

El Ensemble Artemandoline, dirigido por Juan Carlos Muñoz y Mari Fe Pavón, explora la popularidad de la mandolina en la Gran Bretaña del siglo XVIII. Influenciada por los compositores y músicos italianos que viajaron a las Islas Británicas para actuar y enseñar allí, la mandolina se convirtió en un instrumento importante en óperas, salas de conciertos, así como en casas privadas (reales). La nueva grabación de Artemandoline presenta joyas poco conocidas de esta época, incluyendo obras instrumentales para mandolina solista y conjunto, así como para mandolina barroca y soprano. Se incluyen sonatas de figuras notables como Giovanni Francesco Weber (1724-1751), Francesco Bartolomeo Conti (1681-1732) y Carlo Arrigoni (1697-1744), así como animadas gigas de Girolamo Stabilini (1762-1815) y encantadoras canzonettas de Girolamo Nonnini (c. 1730-c-1790). Estos compositores, célebres por su virtuosismo con la mandolina, contribuyeron significativamente a dar forma al legado musical del instrumento.

Artemandoline, fundada por Juan Carlos Muñoz y Mari Fe Pavón, insiste en utilizar partituras originales para devolver a la mandolina y a su incomparable repertorio su antigua gloria. Músicos apasionados, dedican su tiempo a actualizar obras maestras olvidadas de la música antigua escritas para su instrumento. Desde sus comienzos, el reto constante de Artemandoline ha sido demostrar que la música "antigua" no pertenece al pasado, disfrutada solo por una élite privilegiada. El repertorio seleccionado, a pesar de pertenecer a una época determinada, tiene un valor intemporal y universal perfectamente adaptado al mundo actual. El conjunto aspira constantemente a recrear, dar vida y compartir esta música con espontaneidad, inteligencia y emoción. Artemandoline puede calificarse de innovador y único, pionero y uno de los principales conjuntos de instrumentos de cuerda pulsada de este tipo en el mundo.

The term dandy meant vastly different things from its inception in the late 1790s to its heyday in 1819. It was largely superseded by the term beau 1810-1815, and then resurrected by post-period writers to each of whom, as we have seen, it signified something different. It is significant that Beau Brummell was called ‘Beau’, as was Wellington, ‘The Beau’ by his contemporaries, or occasionally, ‘The Peer’. Wellington was often portrayed as dressing simply, in white pantaloons, hessians, blue frock and white neck-cloth and cocked hat. [...]

The dress he wore for the battlefield and for campaigning would have been entirely in place on Bond Street among the beaux of the ton, admittedly with the addition of some military trappings, such as the sash and sword. He was an early adopter of fashion, if not an innovator. It is certain that he set the pattern for the young officers of the army, who wanted to cut a dash by imitating their leader. They talked of ‘the true Wellington pattern cocked hat’, the ‘Wellington boot’, the ‘Wellington pelisse’, and so on.

i was not expecting that post abt ahistorical fiction to get any notes lol. but since it's on my mind i AM gonna talk a little shit about the regency letter larp i was in. yes i will do it on my fl sideblog you are not the boss of me

really i guess it's my fault for expecting more from people but i s2g sooo many of these people got their knowledge of the regency era from like. memes. yes i too read that twitter thread about how beau brummel ruined menswear, but i did one picosecond of research after that and learned that thats literally not true at all. "beau brummell made it all boring :/" look at a fashion plate from the 1830s and tell me menswear got boring in the 1790s and never recovered. try it. please. "its his fault that menswear is only black or navy suits :(" literally when was the last time you saw a man wearing a suit regularly. like... my dad wears one to work sometimes? but he's a lawyer. that's not really what menswear looks like anymore!! that used to be the daily work wear for everyone, but honestly if i wore a suit into the office every day, people would think i was incredibly strange. we're just less formal these days!

but also like. im sorry i know all your ocs are soooo special and smart and right about everything so somehow they all have modern opinions about every topic. but most of them would probably be into beau brummell. they would think he was stylish. because that is what was stylish at the time. why don't you also tell me that your girl characters don't wear stays or corsets because #feminism while you're at it 🙄

i just don't really get the appeal of writing historical fiction if you're not actually interested in engaging with the reality of the era? i mean, i know it's all fantasy. it's play. but why choose THIS setting then? i honestly had more respect for and more fun playing with the people who were open about the fact that they didn't know much about history, and just wanted to rp a romance between fancy people. at least they weren't trying to convince me that it makes perfect sense that their character held these really anachronistic views about their own era that just so happen to align with what you, a modern person, think about it retroactively

anyway tldr: 🙄

This is such a unique property. It’s a former chapel in Solon, Maine, that now has a museum on the main floor and a cozy residence on the 2nd & 3rd fls. It looks old, but it was built in 2010 and comes with 3.9 acres of land that has a lot of potential. All for $350,000. 

Nice size kitchen and look at the backsplash- it’s got a tile picture above the sink.

Large pantry.

What a cute little nook they’re using as a bedroom.

Main bdm.

Small shower room.

Another small bedroom.

And, a larger bdm.

Entrance to the museum on the main floor. “You could turn the chapel into a wedding venue and have a separate bridal area—or the chapel could be converted into office space where you could run a business directly from your home,” said the realtor.

It has an office.

A staff area.

Museum and a chapel/meeting space.

Nice powder room.

Storage.

And a large 2-story shed.

Last night was a great blur.

There was a massive blinding ache pulsing not only deep in the back of your head, but shit, you felt a soreness deep in your core. It was strangely akin to the ache of menses-- but different. Strange… achy.

“Mmm…” You rustle one way, but then, you find yourself stopping when you couldn’t roll any more. You growl as you rustle toward the warmth in the warm sheets, radiating like your own little space heater in the room.

“Soo you’re awake.” A voice breaks through your calm moment, popping your eyes open like something spring loaded. You’re not in Magnus’s room. You’re not in your room. Not even in your friend Asta’s room skimping around in pastel pjs and asking if she wants to make dream cakes. You’re in the Ragnarsson’s home. Breast against Hvitserk’s flat chest with fluffy blankets surrounding your naked waist with a crushing migraine. Your hand snaps to your forehead with a soft moan. How were you going to explain this one to your parents?

“Princess?” Hvitserk slides you onto his very naked body. Very naked because you can feel his soft shaft steadily twitching underneath you.

“Do you have a headache?” Hvitserk’s voice is pathetically light like the fluffy clouds fluttering outside Hvitserk’s pristine white framed windows. At least his grey walls distract you from the blaring light.

“A little. How did I end up here?” You say, resting back on his shoulder. Hot warmth fills him, relaxing his head back onto the pillow while stroking your back with lazy fingertips.

“You really don’t remember?” He laughs. “We had sex.”

Oh. Ohhhh, you didn’t recall that. You recall when things went into a blur, somewhere between a few different drinks. You recall a sole kiss and… that’s right. It was all over your father’s car while bystanders whooped and cat called Hvitserk as they left the winter formal.

“Oh... “ You murmur. “That was my first.”

Hvitserk doesn’t seem to mind. “Yeah, you told me.” He said as if he’s heard this before. He probably has too. Before you switched from a school on the outskirts of town, you heard the Ragnarssons had quite a reputation. Save poor Ivar whom most were afraid of.

At last you sit up, regretful for doing such a thing with the world spinning. Hvitserk throws off the sheets and ambles towards his closet.

“Lets get you somethin’ for that headache.” Hvitserk slides over to his closer, creaking the metal hangers across a pole.

“My dress?” You ask.

“I destroyed that thing.” Hvitserk laughs, finally pulling out a black top and tossing it in your general direction. “Sorry if its a little tight.”

“Um…” You wear an animated frown as you slip the meager fabric on, uncomfortable with the tightness about your breasts and hips. It reaches about the meaty middle of your things, but tighter than a tube dress. He notes that he’s forgotten-- women have curves.

“Yeah, that’s not going to work with my brothers.” Hvitserk brings his lower lip into his mouth, staring for only a few minutes before walking over to the door.

“Mor!” He howls.

Minutes later another woman appears in the doorway. She’s nearly as tall as Hvitserk and possesses a willowy, but subtly curly figure past the honey finger waved hair that tumbles down her back.

“What is it Hvitserk?” She asks, gliding into the room like something out of one of your bizarre monthly dreams of ethereal figures.

“I ruined (Y/N)’s dress. Could you find her another one?” He asks.

The foxish woman looks to you, freckles kissing her pale face. “You finally brought her home.”

There’s an awkward pause in which Hvitserk turns away, doddling off to the shower with his hand in his hair. Then, with her hands folded in front of a crisp black wrap dress, she flicks her head into the hall.

“I thought you were dating Magnus.” She says. You step into the hall behind her; feet against shining cream marble. You clear your throat softly, ignoring the beating of your headache. You’re in this woman’s home after having spent a night in the arms of her son. She probably already thought you loose to begin with.

“Magnus is just my best friend.” You say, pulling a piece of pink behind your ear.

The home is large and rooms seem to be endless. Where one hallway ended another began. Which, you thought, was bizarre considering Aslaug had heard him. At the end of the third hall on this second floor you found her ushering you into her lush room.

“Hm. He must like you to bring you home. He usually fucks his women of the week out of the home-- just like Ubbe.” She opens another door extending into a large room, probably as large if not more so than your room. Shoes and bags are neatly stacked. There is a lovely vanity and comfortable bath. She walks to a coffee coloured round island in the middle of the room where a dark vase holds puffy white flowers.

“I don’t know about that.” You say while she looks through her wide array of slips. She takes one out and offers it to you.

“He’s never been so obsessed.” She smiles foxishly. Obsessed? You change into the slip and thank her, finding your way back towards Hvitserk’s room for your phone. The water in his bathroom is still running and you easily locate your purse on his nightstand and plop down to search after your phone. Oddly, nothing from your parents. It takes a little closer inspection to find out why.

I’m staying the night with Asta. 😊

It wasn’t a rare occurrence. Your parents trusted you. 18 and far from stupid-- but it certainly wasn’t you that sent that faux message to which your mother simply replied: Call us tomorrow.

The next unread message was your dear friend in question.

Dude, did you really go with Hvitserk?

I didn’t mean to.

You respond, dropping your head back onto his fluffy pillows. You can hear Hvitserk humming in the shower, low and steady. You exit back into your messages, seeking out Magnus’s name. But there’s nothing new.

I thought you were picking me up?

Or maybe I’m meeting you there.

Magnus?

It’s precaution. That itch deep in your stomach that saying to just call Aethelred. Brnnnng, it rings once-- then twice. On the third, his even voice clears.

“Where are you?” Aethelred says immediately.

“What do you mean where am I?” You reply.

A pause on the other line. “You’re not with Asta-- and Magnus is in the hospital.”

The falling water seems to drown out with the emptiness of your thoughts.

Again, Aethelred reiterates. “Where are you?”

Your throat is suddenly dry, the silentness of your mind crests over into a million racing thoughts-- how selfish! You should have looked for him! What a sad excuse for a friend you were. If you had just…

“Who are you talking to?”

On the other end of the room, Hvitserk is dripping over the floorboards. A toned arm holds onto a fluffy white towel around his slender waist. His slender chest rises and falls with forced exhalation.

“I… I just.” You stutter. “Aethelred um, send me the room number and hospital?”

“Sure.” He grumbles. “But are you with him?”

Hvitserk crosses the room in a few heavy strides. It’s not as if you feel as if you are responsible to explain yourself to Hvitserk. After all, he was no boyfriend. He… as just the friend that you left your virginity to last night on your father’s car. No one at all.

“Can we please talk about this later?” You squirm just as Hvitserk snaps the phone out of your hand.

“I’ll take my girl by.” Hvitserk hisses, hitting the red button on your touch screen without so much as a goodbye. The change in the air is palpable. It’s like a sear on your skin. As if you hadn’t been tormented enough by your failure to care for your best friend-- but now you feel like a whore under his eyes. Hvitserk drops the phone onto his bed, shaking out droplets of water out of his short honey locks. You’re suddenly distracted again, beads of water dribble down his flat chest over his belly.

“You gonna go shower or what?”

Magnus hates the white of the hospital.

The tiles are cool and lifeless just like the limpid colour of the walls. Everything is so… so… clean. The only noise is that of the monitor clicking in response to his heart rate. Every so often the machine clenches down on his finger.

“Did she answer?” His voice was craggly. Since he had woken up-- he had been doing a lot of waiting. Waiting for his ‘father’ Aethelwulf, wait for his adoptive brothers in place of the brothers that never, ever accepted him.

They never would.

“Knock knock!” There is rarely an excitement like when you were about to see him. Magnus takes the remote of his bed to mechanically push himself to sit up, a beaming smile on his lips when you bubble in on an adorably powdery pink spaghetti dress, spinning around on glittering heels with white flowers.

“(Y/N).” He wheezes, sitting up when you set down the flowers on top of his feeding table.

“I brought you pho! I didn’t really know if they’d let you have it but who cares!” You exclaim. Alfred moves the flowers over to another table when you almost literally throw yourself on top of him, weaving your hands through buttery blond hair. He laughs enough to make his chest hurt with his ribs expanding to struggle for air.

“I’m so sorry.”

Soon he realizes that the little giggle he loved-- wasn’t a giggle at all. It’s a long sob, tears streaming down his bruised cheeks to his scratched jawline. Magnus raises a scuffed up arm to yours.

“Hey, don’t be.” Magnus says, fondly, pulling back enough to rub the tears away from the corners of your eyes. He knows you wanted to come sooner. But maybe that’s why he asked Aethelred to wait until the dance passed, assuming you went with Asta. He was too out of it to be awake long yesterday anyway. “It’s not like you did this.”

A second later, there’s a clearing of a throat. Long, obnoxious-- and you both separate to see who it is. Magnus’s hand immediately flinches to the railing when his eyes meet with the newcomer.

“Hvitserk.” He grips his railing of his bed.

Standing in the doorway with a lone, cherry lollipop and a warm leather jacket, Hvitserk wears a great shit eating smile. “Hey, little bro.”
