is it possible to explain some of your OC outfits? canon i mean; like, say someone wanted to wear something your OC was wearing or cosplay them, but didnt know what to look up! how would you describe them, mainly mikita and beatrycze, but you can do as many or as little as youd like (sorry for the english..)
hmmm well you are in luck, as i already had made a Mikita reference for my friends cosplay. Well either way i dont really understand what you mean by "explaining"; Mika is wearing a nightgown additionaly tied at the waist (a diy as its too loose and too long for his liking) with some comfortable pants underneath. Hes wearing socks not stockings. second picture taken from here
and when it comes to Trycz i usually just base her clothes on real dresses from the middle 1890 period. I really like the big sleeves. I dont intend to keep my ocs and their outfits very historically accurate so i take some creative liberties, usually just keeping the expected silhouette, like shown on the second picture. Thrid one is a fashion plate from 1895; i tend to use fashion plates and other magazine drawings the most out of all the references. theyre the most fun. speaking on fun i forgot how fun Trycz is to draw
#in the context of wearing them: well its all over 100 years old. i dont really know how to help you here#vintage fashion of this sort tends to understandably be very expensive. and even if i think it better belongs to a museum#artwork#ask :)#duch na strychu

Unpicking a suit lining at the sleeve head like. I’m undoing this hand sewn seam that someone made in 1935. I know the name of the man the suit was made for and the name of the man that tailored it and I can see proof of the human labor that made this. I can see the layers of wool roving and hair canvas used to interface the shoulders. I just worked with hair canvas for the first time recently on another garment, and this garment carries this same historical textile and practice. This wool and silk is nearly a century old and I’m mending it so it can continue to be worn and I’m directly interacting with human artistry and skill in the same way it was originally done on this garment. In another ten, twenty years, if this garment is still in use and I’m not the one mending it, they will be able to see the difference in the original construction and where I’ve worked on it. They might be able to tell how recently it’s been mended because of the fabric I’m using to patch. And then if they mend it, and add to the signature of stitches on this garment, somebody else down the line can look at it and see each of us there in the seams we’ve sewn. Every garment is a museum.
#I get emotional about mending guys#this is a 1935 tuxedo being used as a costume for the mid 1880s#and when I unearthed it it fit the actor perfectly by complete accident#this is a very sacred garment to me#it sat deteriorating in a museum collection it didn’t belong in and was going to be thrown out#so I brought it to my museum thinking it would just made a good study piece#but it was in much better condition than I thought#and when i suddenly needed to costume someone in a tuxedo with no budget for a tuxedo it fit him perfectly#just like it fit the man who’s name is on the tag inside with the date of when he picked it up#and now it is worn and used and cared for and SEEN#and all of the work that went into this almost 100 years ago is still providing value#extant garments#museum musings#dress history#fashion history#costume history

orpheus and eurydice in the correr museo in venice
the symbolism of placing orpheus in front of a mirror is genuinely making me go insane. orpheus has already turned back and broken the deal, eurydice is lost. tragedy has run its course. and: it wouldn't have mattered. there was never a way out. he's walking towards the mirror, even if he had looked forward he'd have looked back. it wouldn't have turned out anyway. the tragedy is inevitable
#i tried my best with the picture. i wanted to have both their backs and their faces visible through the mirror but the lighting wasn't#optimal and i used my phone so it's eh#but i legit can't stop thinking about it#the mirror doesn't even belong to the sculptures it was just there in this old palace there were multiple other rooms with mirrors as well#and some museum curator probably went: you know what'll drive this queer person absolutely crazy when they see it??#putting orpheus in front of a mirror. evil laugh hehehe#and???? yEA#OF COURSE I'LL GO INSANE#perfect example of presentation of an art piece elevating it or at least adding to it in a breathtaking way#orpheus#eurydice#hadestown#greek mythology#art#sculptures

hm.
#just saw a Post.#like okay bestie perhaps we can get across our point about fanfic not being praxis without the sentence ‘we’re not creating art’-#-said in a rude and patronizing way.#there has Got to be a middle ground between ‘fanfic is leftist masterpiece direct action’ & ‘the work I DO is garbage nothing slop for pigs’#fanart is art. it’s not High Art Belongs In A Museum but if you looked me in the eye and told me it wasn’t art i would be justified in-#-calling you a tool. what about fic is different from that? where’s the distinction?#there’s no point saying all this i blocked op after seeing Another bad take when i clicked to see their blog but.#ugh.#(also it’s worth saying that if you do actually care about the history of literature calling all derivative work inherently lesser is a#Fucking Buckwild Take#but of course it’s more fun to dunk on people for writing their yaois than it is to think about romance as a genre or the entire history of-#-archetypical storytelling)#whatever. whatever!!!!!!!!!

I don’t particularly like the sherlock & co podcast, but I catch up on the episodes every now and then and. I don’t think I have ever in my life come across any british character with more casual contempt for the british empire than this version of John Watson? And I really do appreciate that actually.
#like it’s only really come up two times i think#in the british museum when he was like yeah mate this whole place is built on us sticking our noses where they don’t belong#i have never come across any british character who says anything like that in anything i have watched or listened to that’s not like#specifically about colonialism#and it’s kinda cool of him actually#and then in the sign of four when he was talking about like the jewelry street or whatever#like i’m half egyptian and whenever stuff like that gets mentioned in this sort of thing#there’s often still this weird glamourization of all the looting and shit the british empire did#sherlock & co#john watson

Its been 4 days since disney dropped KTG, and I just love this scene a whole fucking lot I know I know and just like the framing of the whole thing being from baby boy's perspective which made me want to crumple up in my seat and {pass out} from it all because it was too much.
But I just keep thinking of the bit when they are just chilling and relaxing in the boat after looking at the stars in the sky and how the weight of Eric staring at Ariel to the point it feels like he's BEGGING her to look at him because he's just in his feelings too hard and she can FEEL him stare at her so she just slowly looks at him.
{sighs} yeah :')
#misc#text#tlm text#i'm floored the more i think about this scene#being the first thing they filmed#this movie belongs in a museum actually... hang every frame of this movie on my bedroom wall

/ If your muse had to share the bus seat with one of my servant muses, who would it be-
#GOING TO THE MUSEUM!!!#but also imagine a condition of the trip is that u have to stay with ur pair to not get completely lost#ngl i would be like haha oops this museum is so stacked oh nooo -spiritually clinging to c.onstantine-/J#imagine ur muse get stuck with my c.asgil and they are forced to stay on the stamps and seals section of the museum for 3 hours IUYTRITUYR#or a.vicebron just -stares at rocks in the geology section for hours-#personally speaking i think going with d.aybit would be the most fun; bc he would go straight to the dinosaurs section#and i love seeing dinosaur fossils and displays; natural science museums my beloveds#i think it would also be very funny with certain servants like imagine seeing that one golden gauntlet said to belong to king charlemagne#and charlie just; :TURNS AROUND: !!!!#t.ezca seeing the t.ezcatlipoca mask and just: -peace sign-#m.octezuma seeing his coronation stone;#o.dy seeing the vases depicting his story; etc etc#and and matching souvenir shirts yes#;ooc#ooc

#been thinking a lot lately about something that happened over the weekend#the wedding was gorgeous it was a wonderful weekend it meant so much to be there and everything went really well#but there was a moment that hasn't sat right with me since#one of the wedding traditions we did was the groom and his family dancing to the mandapam where the wedding would take place#and the bride's family waits there to greet him#this wedding was held outside of lisbon in an area that was part hotel part tourist location so members of the public could see us#and as we the bride's family walked over to the place we needed to be to meet the groom and his family#these white tourists started taking pictures of us in our wedding outfits and whispering to each other#and then decided to come up to us and shove their phones in our faces#demanding photos with us#and i was just like. have never felt like more of a museum exhibit in my life#no 'i love your outfits' or anything just phones in our faces and the expectation of us to pose for pictures#we were just people attending a wedding not exotic creatures to treat like that#and i think this is a microcosm of the experiences of a lot of asian people worldwide#exotic creatures that aren't seen as human beings#exhibits that belong in museums that you want to take photos with#but people that are rarely listened to#rarely seen beyond our cultural traditions that people don't genuinely want to learn about anyway#i am all for cultural appreciation#but it's not appreciating my culture to be treated like a zoo attraction instead of a human being lol#i wasn't sure if i wanted to say something but it's aapi month in the us so i thought i'd just say#please think before you act please be respectful#treat us as people#we have so much love for our cultures and we'd love to share it but..... not like this lol#ask questions i am always open to answer#i don't like being grabbed and having a camera shoved in my face to be in some white tourist's photo#so they can show off the indian wedding they witnessed#neha rambles

A familiar set of red eyes appeared in the darkness as Kaoru slumped over in his chair. “What’s wrong, little Kaoru?” Rei asked, sliding into a chair across from Kaoru. He picked up one of the books and thumbed through it, seemingly able to read the words despite the dimming candle light.
“Nothing, just don’t want to go back to studies next week.” Kaoru’s finger traced a circle on the table. “What about you?”
Rei laughed softly. “It’s nothing you need to worry yourself with.” What a non-answer. By this point Kaoru was aware of the weird disease that impacted the Sakuma family and that Rei was concerned about how it would develop in his younger brother, but the details of it were never specific.
“Is it your brother again?” He couldn’t help but ask. Kaoru had met the younger Sakuma a few times and he was polite enough to his face, though Kaoru suspected he was just putting up an act like everyone else.
“How astute of you Kaoru,” Rei commented, setting the book down on the table, bored of its contents already. “But no, it’s not about little Ritsu this time.” Kaoru raised an eyebrow but decided to let the conversation drop for now. Rei grabbed another book. “You’ve been reading an awful lot about mermaids recently.”

I just learned John Carney was mean and sexist to Keira about Begin Again and that he also considered ScarJo for the part and I'm 100% convinced he resented Keira bc she wouldn't let the movie be sexist. If ScarJo had done it it probably would have become a movie about every woman being in love with Mark Ruffalo like that possibility is over the shoulder of the movie at all times but Keira Knightley said no I am going to literally die and reincarnate into this role and live her life with so much authenticity on camera that her spirit is literally beaming out of my eyeballs and it will be impossible for the movie to be sexist as a result
And John Carney was mad about that evidently but like the movie is so good
#begin again#took this here bc i was about to tweet it and then i was like bitch it's not safe to speak here#and i don't even know if i want or mean to be shaming scarlett johannson with this altho obv she has her issues#i'd have to rewatch her stuff to know if i think it's something she's doing or just how the male gaze acts upon her#mark ruffalo is also so bomb ass good in it and their chemistry AND restraint is like hhhhh it's like hhhh#it belongs in a museum!!!!!#and baby hailee steinfeld??? devouring it

bearer of the curse (too many good ideas)
#melonposting#augh it’s so annoying!!! like i can’t do everything i think of#grt3d is reassuring in that now i know it’s possible for me to fully execute a story#but that still doesn’t help the fact that there are so many to execute :’D#like there’s the mothmen obviously. that one’s been simmering for a while#then there’s goody gardens if i ever decide to really ‘make’ anything with it (as it is it’s just a cast of characters to think about)#there’s the botanica story too (which still needs an official name)#and there’s my ii3 rewrite/au#oh not to mention whatever pokemon x&y rewrite i was planning way back when. don’t know if i really care about that now#i haven’t done much with arthropocalypse (i don’t even think i’ve posted about it here at all) but that has potential#and of course there are the middle school era stories like camp mercury and dark divinity which i don’t think i care to do anything with#(they’re just funny to look back at)#there’s my pokemon-inspired story/game/something revolving entirely around species of butterflies and moths#and there’s the very recent idea of a mascot horror type thing involving a museum and the exhibits coming alive and trying to kill you#(like night in the museum crossed with fnaf or something)#and a sitcom-type thing involving the dolls belonging to the children in a large family and the drama they get into#oh and wasn’t there some story i had about a rich guy living in a haunted mansion and supernatural creatures working there?#like he has a vampire butler and mothman gardener or something like that?#oh and my weird story with holmes-and-watson-inspired mad scientist supervillains#and what’s basically a high school au of sherlock holmes which was cute#hm there’s my dandelion-themed children’s book#and probably a handful of object show ideas as well#goodness gracious i am insane
