My late eighteenth century shirt is complete! It is completely hand sewn and hand finished, down to the buttons I wrapped.

For general dimensions and construction methods, I followed @vincentbriggs ‘s blog post here (although I believe he’s got a more detailed video on the subject in the works on his youtube channel!). I also referenced to various extant shirts in museum collections for information on collar and cuff proportion trends and usual seam finishing techniques. Particularly for the cuffs, I worked more directly off this shirt in the V&A’s collections, which has a laundry mark dating it to 1791. I did use a different type of Dorset button than the ones on the 1791 shirt. I believe that style is a blandford crosswheel, while mine are cartwheels

The fabric is a historically inaccurate cotton percale salvaged from a lone twin fitted sheet purchased at a thrift store. You can still see the creases left by the elastic gathered sheet seam along the bottom edge of the shirt. Even using the entire length of the sheet, I did end up with much shorter tails than is appropriate for the era. They throw off the proportions of the garment when unworn or untucked, but as you can see here it’s still a perfectly functional amount of shirt, particularly on my not at all tall body.

I do want to sew a proper linen version with some modifications at some point— if only because linen is such a good fabric for my climate— Although I’ve done a decent amount of repair sewing and put a sweater together with kitchener’s stitch, this shirt is the first garment I’ve cut and sewn. I’m genuinely very pleased with it.

... What if Pariah Dark was a giant kinda like other extremely powerful ghosts in the series? Sorry I just can't stop thinking about the image of a giant castle and Danny waking up in a giant bed because the Crown sensed his distress at being possibly vulnerable with his parents around and spirited him away automatically to what is now his Lair as he was sleeping. Immense confusion some hilarity and a bit of sadness.... Just how I like it.

I feel like Akechi was probably on a constant super-strict diet when he was living under his Detective Prince persona, you know, gotta keep that waist trim to look "perfect" on TV. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure that it's canon that he doesn't really eat well. He's totally the kind of person who'd throw himself into his own plans and goals and wouldn't look after his physical body; Hell, he would probably think he's above that, that he can pull through just thanks to his will alone, and overcome any physical discomfort or weakness.

So during that infamous pancakes scene, maybe he was telling the truth; Maybe he really did skip lunch and he was hungry. He overheard someone talking about panckes, the most basic part of his brain relised how starved he was, and he absentmindedly mentioned food to the group without thinking; Not to mention that hunger could also bog down his thought process and attentiveness.

Idk, I guess that I'd find it compelling if it was such a basic biological need that did him in in the end. No matter how much he schemed and planned, he was a human in the end, an animal who is driven by simple needs and desires. He neglected that part of himself, thinking his brilliance, his "higher" self alone will let him achieve his goals, but in the end it was that "primitive" part of him that he trivialized that pulled him down and undid all of his hard work.

So ya know how in the Wicked movie, Elphaba has two little pinky rings she wears on each hand?

I don’t know if Oz has something like a pinky promise, but I would have lost my mind if during “Defying Gravity” Elphaba had taken one of her rings off (potentially the one on her left hand) and put it on Galinda’s finger/in her hand.

As a pinky promise.

how would your Danny react if I gave him a big ol hug 🥰 homeboy was my childhood, he deserves to be happy😔😔😔

You're in luck, take these warmups. He doesn't like physical contact with strangers anymore since 99% of the time they either complain about him being too cold or don't know how to handle his arm without causing him pain. (Sam and Tucker are experts at avoiding that at this point)
