Me watching period dramas from multiple counties and thinking to myself... what really brings humans together across time, culture, and country is our desire to exhibit our wealth by having extraordinarily fancy sleeves.

"Do you doubt my great wealth and power? Have you seen my sleeves? The lace is VERY FINE! LOOK HOW MUCH UNNECESSARY FABRIC THERE IS! Did you notice that they have embroidery? BOW BEFORE MY MAGNIFICENT ARM COVERINGS!!!"

And yet today, where are our fancy sleeves?

WHERE ARE THEY?

This is clearly where modern society has gone wrong...

#random stupidity #please do not take this seriously #but honestly I can tell how important a character is by the size of their sleeves #Ah yes I say big sleeve guy must be the most important #like look how hard it is for him to move his arms!#that's POWER #when did we decide that it wasn't good to wear reams of fabric?#period dramas #sleeves #the poof on those 1830s women #p&p 1940
