The Yellow Wallpaper

Based on the short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper is short story, written as first person journal entries. The narrator is experiencing severe depression after the birth of a child, and her husband rents a home for the Summer, with hopes she can recover. She is confined to an upstairs nursery, where we find The Yellow Wallpaper.

As a form of treatment, the husband forbids the journal writer from working or writing, and encourages her to eat well and get plenty of air so that she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency", a common diagnosis in women at the time. (wiki)

Of course, she still writes; as she descends into madness, obsessing about the wallpaper, which appears to pull her in. Seeing a woman creeping through it.

At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be. I didn’t realize for a long time what the thing was that showed behind,—that dim sub-pattern,—but now I am quite sure it is a woman... It is always the same shape, only very numerous. And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern.

SO; here, we have the beautifully created pattern by @femmefatalegoth, inspired by the wallpaper described above. See if you can find the women in its intricacy.

I have added cornices and wainscotting, and a version with cornice and baseboard only.

I really didn't want to change the colour of the wallpaper , because it's The Yellow Wallpaper. So; sorry, not sorry, to those who want it in different colours - but feel free to do it yourself if you know how!

Unfortunately, due to limitations on how the wallpaper is made up in the game, I've had to do separate files to each type of cornice & wainscot:

I added the feature to make Sims tense when they're around the wallpaper. I tested it, and my Sim didn't get tense - so either it doesn't work, or my Sim was too cheerful to get tense 😂

Anyway - I hope you like these as much as I LOVE them! The colour is very bright, and it really helps you feel like the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper.

I highly recommend reading the story. Maybe you can relate it to how you have felt at some time - I certainly have.

Okay I am not going to pretend Dandadan is purposefully making some statement about the human body, specially with how traditionally beautiful both girls are drawn as but.

Okay so, every now and then we have some discourse trending about the human body. How society acts like, say, a woman having breasts means they are inherently wanting to be sexual. How breast-feeding a baby is treated as inherently sexual and not, you know, the basic biological function of breasts and a lot of other things. How to some degree a woman dressing less should not be treated that different from a man being shirtless.

So, here we have Dandadan, that has Momo and Aira in their underwear, and Okarun full-on Naked. but doesn't leer on them. it's lenses doesnt focus on their breats or their butts or obsesses over their nakedness. they simply... exist in their underwear.

Neither Momo nor Aira are being forcefully undressed by the aliens, mind you, they simply took their clothes off

Because they are fighting an underwater threat.

And if we are serious about discussing that women should be allowed to... say... be shirtless... without acting like they are trying to be sexual or sexy or that it is not inherently an invitation to leer at them. Well, that does mean we are going to have fictional characters be in their underwear without it necessarily being "sexy".

Like if this was a beach arc. like it was the exact same plot and they were on the beach in their bikini, which tend to be more... uhm... you know... than underwear. would the criticism be the same? that Dandadan went back to be a "Sex Comedy"? (The comedy is not even about the nakedness)

I guess my point is, the matter of seeking for series to rely less on fanservice is an important one. But also the matter of practicality. of de-sexualizing certain topic. etc, etc. Means there will be contexts in which we will have teenage girls in their underwear (In part because teenagers make an absurd amount of the main characters in manga), and we will have to sit down and analyze and ask ourselves "Wait, are they being sexualized, or am I assuming this typical element of fanservice is for fanservice in this context?".

And I know, The author chose to do it. And yes, they chose to have a story-arc that involved a monstrous looking Nessie who punches really hard, which is awesome.

I am obsessed with our dresses!!!!!, have you ever worn a Palestinian dress?🇵🇸🌹

Have you ever worn one of our dresses, or seen it on someone around you?

So can i told u the whole story of it ? Let's go

Palestinian girls are not much older than childhood at that time, but as soon as they can hold a needle and thread, their grandmothers begin to teach them this distinctive embroidery, and the girl begins to decorate the clothes with her little fingers, and slowly embroiders her most beautiful dresses while waiting for her wedding. She excels in choosing the colors and stitches, and competes with her friends in embroidering the most beautiful stitches. Months pass while she embroiders the head covering, pillow covers, and the groom’s handkerchiefs, as if her skill in embroidery is a treasure she is saving for that day, to appear distinctive in front of the other girls and her future groom.

The Palestinian woman used to weave the story of her life and the story of her country on her clothes. The dress, with its patterns and colors, referred to the village and its conditions and revealed a lot about the conditions, life, and social status of its owner. Embroidery was an important part of the Palestinian woman’s life. She used it to decorate her belongings and teach it to her daughters, so it was passed down through the generations.

During the #Nakba, women in the villages of Palestine went out in those clothes that carried the story of their days, and the dress remained, along with the key to the house, one of the few memories that women carried, after the loss of the land. Time will stand still for years until Palestinian women turn to other attempts at theft, as the dress - like all Palestinian heritage - was not spared from attempts at theft and obliteration, and became an arena for another battle to steal it and claim that it is one of the "Israeli" legacies, so that women gather in the face of that the story of the Palestinian dress, and the history that every Palestinian woman embroidered on it.

Villagers and Bedouins used to embroider the chest, shoulders, sides and sleeves of their dresses with silk, gold and silver threads. The shape varied according to the geographical area. When women gathered in the markets, it was possible to distinguish the region to which each of them belonged, from the embroidery that adorned her dress. The village could even be identified from the drawings, embroidery units and the way the dress was coordinated.

And my aunt Fairouz was martyred in a bombing that destroyed her house on her head. She used to work as a seamstress and she sewed me a very, very beautiful dress. But now she is with God, eating and drinking with Him and living a life better than the life of fear that we live. We are afraid of the bombing and of dying from hunger.

It's the eighth night I go to bed cold and hungry, I can bear the hunger but the cold eats away at my tender bones !!!

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters , my number verified on the list is ( #283 )✅️

I am trying to help my mother now after my father left us when we were children. In collecting the costs of escaping and surviving this hunger, bombing and destruction, so be an active part in donating and participating, get closer to God and donate❗❗❗🇵🇸👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

THE CO WIFE SUPREMACY

I am done with it honestly. Honestly done seeing the way people give Draupadi's efforts, her works and duties to Subhadra for their own pleasure. This is not funny anymore. I know there isn't much given about Subhadra in the authentic texts so you guys take creative liberty to praise her. FINE. That's not the issue.

THE ISSUE IS WHEN PEOPLE GIVE SUBHADRA THE TASKS OF DRAUPADI, MAKING HER THE QUEEN FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

And please, please stop with giving even Yudhishthir's duty to Subhadra as well! FOR GOD'S SAKE IT WAS CLEARLY WRITTEN YUDHISHTHIR WAS ONLY ASSISTED BY DRAUPADI! READ THE SATYABHAMA SAMVAD PARVA BEFORE WRITING NONSENSE!

I don't understand the obsession of making Subhadra do everything that was done by Draupadi, and partly Yudhishthir also. I agree the co wives had say in the matters of the Kingdom too, but that doesn't mean the heavy workload is done by Subhadra or any other co wife!

AGREE OR NOT THE HEAVY LIFTING OF INDRAPRASTH WAS DONE BY THE PANDAVAS AND DRAUPADI! STOP GIVING ANYONE ELSE THE CREDIT!

IF YOU'RE STILL IN YOUR DELUSIONS THEN READ THE TEXTS!

It annoys me very much to see how blind people have become nowadays. . .

STOP INVOLVING THE TWO WOMEN AND PITTING THEM FOR THE SAKE OF IT!

IF YOU CANNOT WRITE ON SUBHADRA WITHOUT GIVING HER THE QUALITIES OF DRAUPADI THEN YOU BETTER DON'T! THAT'S NOT SUBHADRA YOU'RE WRITING THEN IT'S ANOTHER DRAUPADI!

JUST TO ADD SPICES TO YOUR WRITING YOU CANNOT DO THAT!

Give the woman atleast an individual character for God's sake!

It is so strange and delightful to see Frances Burney mentioned on Tumblr. Most people ignore her existence or only know her as someone who influenced Jane Austen. My master thesis was actually on her work, so seeing her mentioned always makes me happy.

Her work dealt a lot with the issues women were facing at the time: such as the double-standards placed upon them by society, the way they were objectified by men, the way their behavior was constantly judged and evaluated, but also economic issues such as the way they could and could not own property and use it as they wished. For example, her second novel, Cecilia, deals with a young woman who is extremely wealthy, but whose fortune is in the hand of her three tutors, who do everything possible to control it, and therefore her. (It also has a fascinating plot because, according to a clause in her uncle's will, the man who marries her must take her last name, which is a source of conflict because the man she falls in love with comes from a very prideful family, who would never consent to him giving up his last name).

Evelina is probably my favorite novel by her, and also her shortest. It deals with the entrance into society of Evelina, a young orphan who has been raised by Mr. Villars, a clergyman. In the process of her entrance into society, she must deal with her until-then-unknown relatives, notably her grandmother Madame Duval, and their vulgar behavior. She is also, more notably, confronted with the toxic and predatory behavior of the men of London society, especially Sir Clement Willoughby, who becomes obsessed with Evelina. While there is a lot of commentary on society rules, social class and family, the part that really struck me was the very vivid way Frances Burney described the predatory behavior of men, not only towards Evelina but also towards other women, especially those seen as unattractive, too old, or too vulgar, some of which is still applicable today. Sir Willoughby is a terrifying villain simply because he is adept at using society rules, Evelina's lack of knowledge and practice of them, and how they disfavor women, in order to get what he wants. They are many times when he entraps Evelina simply by playing upon "what other people will think" if she is too outspoken or too assertive in her rejection of him. Evelina, simply by virtue of being a young, innocent, practically unprotected woman in society, is seen and treated as prey, especially since her father refuses to recognize her as his daughter (this theme of an unprotected woman seen as prey because she is alone and unprotected by a family name comes back in The Wanderer, Frances Burney's last novel).

Frances Burney's following novels, Cecilia and Camilla, are also good, but in my opinion, a little unnecessarily long. They also deal with the entrance into society and the coming of age of their young female protagonists, and they also feature criticism of society and predatory or dangerous male behavior. Camilla also has one of the most annoying characters ever, Sir Hugh, who is well-meaning but functionally useless. He annoyed me so much I think I dedicated an entire paragraph to bashing him in my master thesis.

As for her last novel, The Wanderer, it is often seen as her worse one and performed poorly critically. However, it features a more experienced and independent female protagonist, a much more scathing portrayal of English society, and more focus on the struggle of women to support themselves, especially working women.

I am glad she is gaining recognition and that people are still reading her. She is sadly too little talked about outside of academia, despite being an influence on Jane Austen and leading a fascinating life.

Hello dear! Have you read any of France Burney's work? Evelina is next of my list when I manage to find some free reading time, and I am certain you'd have some quality opinions on it. Her diaries also look fascinating!

Hello, thank you for the ask and really sorry for replying so late!

A lot is happening in life right now (mostly good things, but I wish I had twice as many hours in a day to keep up - I'm sure you can relate!)

I have to say that I have sadly not came across her writing, but I finally had time to properly look her up and I have to say that she does seem like a fascinating woman! (and writing in my favourite era as well...)

I am sorry I don't have anything to add, but I really thank you for bringing her to my attention. I will absolutely make sure to find time to squeeze her work in to read during my reading week.

In the meantime, all the best with your course and I wish you get as much free reading time as you want! (or, more realistically, at least *some* free reading time)

having thoughts and feelings about perc’ahlia and their could-be-but-would-never-allow-the-other-to-destroy-themselves-enough-to-actually-become-the-briarwoods parallel/foilism. particularly with vex and delilah and potential places this season might go but also just vex’s “it’s like i’m a bad omen” and the fact that like. vex has full awareness of her feelings for percy and alludes to them to him. but then after she has sex with him it is so so compelling to me that vex is like. this is all i can have with him and i’ll take just this even if maybe it’s flying too close to the sun. and something something the shot of delilah embracing sylas after she’s brought him back, looking over his shoulder into a mirror where it looks like she isn’t holding anything at all and just . god. the like oppositional threads of delilah refusing to lose sylas and holding on tight at any cost and vex holding herself so far from percy to deny the pain that would come with losing/hurting him and the like. venn diagram cross over of something is lost anyway.

I CAN'T FUCKING HANDLE THIS OMG

[novelconcepts]

The more the show progresses, the more I want to see the 90s cast infiltrating the modern timeline. We've gotten hints of it with Shauna and her younger self, her Jackie hauntings. We've gotten a little more with adult Lottie seeing teenage Nat (and Laura Lee), and with Natalie getting teenage Lottie in her final moments. I want more. I want the teen cast to be absolutely invasive on pivotal adult moments, infecting their adult counterparts when least expected. I want Taissa's argument with Van to dissolve into their teenage selves, their bond endless and timeless and inescapable. I want Misty absolutely wrecked by young Natalie lurking around corners, watching from mirrors. I want to see these women unable to navigate adulthood without the specters of their teenage selves cropping up absolutely everywhere, more and more as they let the memories in, as they stop being able to repress the trauma. They didn't grow up. They never could. You are always doomed to regress around your high school teammates. You are haunted by the phantom elements of your misspent youth. It is a comfort, and it is a gift, and it is a trial, and it is a curse. I would love to see that reflected with greater intensity, until the lines blur, until the timelines have no choice but to intersect. They haven't escaped themselves at all. They didn't grow up. They just got older.
