Frobin Wedding Headcanons (that I may or may not ever write)

Luffy officiates. It's short and sweet and funny. He barely knows what he's doing and mostly wants to skip to the party, but he is happy that his friends are happy so. He cheers very loudly when they kiss

Jinbe tries to help him make a speech. Its a lost cause, he's just gonna wing it

Robin would have long eloquently written vows that ends on a morbid and/or sexual joke

Franky is crying and blubbering the whole time but when it's his turn he pulls out his guitar and sings his vows (Brook helped!)

Usopp and Chopper were in charge of decorations. Robin let him use her flowers to make her bouquet. Usopp makes everything beautiful and romantic, and Chopper is trying his best as his little helper

Robin would wear a beautiful goth black gown

Usopp and Nami does her hair and makeup

Franky nearly faints when he sees her

Franky has a suit jacket a tie and bedazzled speedos

Someone managed to wrestle Luffy into an ascot but he kept the flip flops

Sanji is crying more than Franky, somehow

Sanji also made the best goddamn wedding cake you've ever seen (half vanilla bean and half rum chocolate)

Zoro is surprisingly good at selecting a collection of booze for the feast

Nami is going to be the best goddamn maid of honor and party planner even if it kills her

Franky sends pics to Iceburg who nearly has a heart attack

"What do you mean you married the women who tried to kill me?!"

IDK if they would have wedding rings, but if they do Franky definetly made them himself

Brook writes approximately 1,000 love songs and is sobbing the entire time over young love and how they remind him of himself and Yorki. Don't touch him. Please hug him

Jinbe is just happy to be here. This might be the most normal thing this crew has ever done

Hi, I absolutely love all your deep dives into OLBA with all these little details I wouldn’t have noticed could change, and have honestly made my recent playthroughs even more fun now that I’m watching out for them. I’m currently playing the Wedding DLC and picking out the player’s outfits and I noticed that if you bring your parents and Cliff, they’ll say different lines depending on what outfit combinations you choose. Could you please do a post on what combinations might lead to which dialogue?

Thank you so much!! >///< And sure, I can do that!

How the wedding outfits work is that you can choose whichever type of clothing you want (dress/romper/shirt and skirt for the dress shop or shirt and pants/shirt and skirt for the suit shop), the shade, and the color without concern, but once you start getting to the actual style, the game turns into a points system that will label your overall look at the end, which is what Cove/the parents will comment on. There are six different looks in total.

It goes like this:

Modern. [no change]

Traditional. [classic +1]

Fusion. (if at the dress shop) / In-between. (if at the suit shop) [unique +1]

-

Shiny cloth. [dramatic +1]

Matte cloth. [no change]

Textured cloth. [unique +1] (if at the dress shop) or [fanciful +1] (if at the suit shop)

-

(dress shop exclusive)

Well-fitting. [stylish +1]

Flowy. [relaxed +1]

Frilly. [classic +1]

Fitted at the top and then flowing out. (if the MC chose a dress) / Fitted top half and looser pant legs. (if the MC chose a romper) / Fitted shirt and a flowy skirt. (if the MC chose a shirt and skirt) [stylish +1]

Fitted at the top and then puffing out. (if the MC chose a dress) / Fitted top half and puffier pant legs. (if the MC chose a romper) / Fitted shirt and a puffy skirt. (if the MC chose a shirt and skirt) [fanciful +1]

-

(dress shop exclusive)

Beaded. [fanciful +1]

Laced. [classic +1]

No detailing. [relaxed +1]

Beading and lace detailing. [dramatic +1]

-

Long sleeved. [stylish +1]

Short sleeved. [relaxed +1]

3/4s length sleeved. (if at the dress shop) / In-between. (if at the suit shop) [unique +1]

Sleeveless. (if at the dress shop) [dramatic +1]

-

(dress shop exclusive)

Floor length. [fanciful +1]

Ankle length. [no change]

Knee length [dramatic +1]

-

(suit shop exclusive)

Unbuttoned jacket. [stylish +1]

Buttoned jacket. [classic +1]

No jacket. [no change]

-

(suit shop exclusive)

Unbuttoned vest. [relaxed +1]

Buttoned vest. [fanciful +1]

No vest. [no change]

-

(suit shop exclusive)

Tie. [classic +1]

Bowtie. [fanciful +1]

Ascot. [dramatic +1]

Cravat. [stylish +1]

Bolo tie. [unique +1]

No tie. [no change]

-

After you're done, the game will take whichever look has the highest amount of points and set that as the feel of your wedding outfit. If any two looks match in points, then it will take priority going off of this list (from highest priority to lowest priority):

relaxed

fanciful

stylish

classic

dramatic

unique

And these are the reactions you'll get for each one if you brought Cove/the parents along:

Relaxed Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove: "It's nice. Really, really, really, nice." Cliff: "Now, that's my kind of look." Mom (Pamela): "You'd look amazing in that, and you'd follow your Ma's footsteps with that kind of style." Ma (Noelani): "True, it's wonderful, and not just because I also would wear something like it."

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "Oh, I love that..." Cliff: "Wow, I could see myself in something like that." Mom (Pamela): "Fantastic! It looks like 'Lani designed it herself just for you." Ma (Noelani): "I agree, it's lovely. You've got my eye, [MC's name]."

Fanciful Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove: "Oh, that's... stunning." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "That's so seriously charming." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

Stylish Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove: "Whoa, that looks like it'd be in a magazine or on a billboard or something." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "Whoa, people might think you're doing a photo shoot instead of really having a wedding with that." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

Classic Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove: "It's just so gorgeous. It's gonna make me cry." Cliff: "Beautiful!" Mom (Pamela): "I love it! That's a quintessential wedding [dress/romper/shirt and skirt (depending on what the MC chose)]." Ma (Noelani): "It's gorgeous, and very Pam."

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "Yeah, I'm going to cry before we're done." Cliff: "Gorgeous!" Mom (Pamela): "Aw, [MC's name], this is exactly the kind of thing I imagined when I knew you were having a wedding." Ma (Noelani): "Oh, Pam. It does seem like something out of a dream."

Dramatic Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove - Cove's eyes grew wide; he was speechless. Cliff: "Wow, that's a [dress/romper/shirt and skirt (depending on what the MC chose)]." Ma (Noelani): "I think that's very much you, [MC's name], and it's so lovely." Mom (Pamela): "Absolutely 'Lani, that'd be a look that's all your own."

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "I'm gonna have a hard time looking at you if you wore that. For good reasons, I mean!" Cliff: "Now that'll make a splash for sure." Mom (Pamela): "You've outdone yourself. I've seen many wedding designs, and this beats most." Ma (Noelani): "I agree 'Lani, [MC's name] knows how to do it."

Unique Feel

(if at the dress shop)

Cove: "I've never seen anything like that. It's great." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

(if at the suit shop)

Cove: "I didn't know a [shirt and pants/shirt and skirt (depending on what the MC chose)] could even look like that. It's beautiful." Cliff - (No comment.) Moms - (No comment.)

Another fun fact that not everyone might know is that Pamela will tease the MC at the dress shop after they've tried at least three different outfits, but yeah! That's all of it~

ANSWERS: How much does Tumblr know about the British upper class and aristocracy? ORIGINAL POST HERE

Do you know why people pay for private members' clubs in London?

A: It's like having your own staffed living room in the centre of town. It's familiar in terms of dress code, behaviour, discretion, and even interior decor. The behaviour part is most important; it takes away most of the uncertainties of dining in public, and you won't be photographed. Examples include The Carlton Club and The Caledonian Club. With the big daddies being White's (mentioned in Bridgerton) and the Aspinall club. This gif from Netflix's 'The Gentlemen' strike me as a club environment.

What is Ascot?

A: "The races" refers to horse racing. Ascot is possibly the biggest event of that particular calendar. It has a dress code which varies between enclosures (this is where the people are sorted into areas depending on how much they paid for their tickets/if they're a member of the club) but generally dictates suits and hats.

What is a duke/duchess?

A: the highest ranking member of the peerage (the titled aristocracy). Prince William became the Duke of Cambridge when he married his wife Catherine Middleton.

What is millinery?

A: Hat making for events such as Ascot. I reccomend Phillip Treacy's website for examples. He has designed for the Royals on numerous occasions.

Does a marchioness rank above a duke?

A: A marchioness is the wife or widow of a marquess. The five ranks of British nobility, in descending order, are duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. Here for more info

What is the House of Lords?

A: The second chamber of the British Parliament. Quite literally full of Lords unelected by the public. Most are appointed seats for their lifespan for achievements in their careers, some are hereditary seats. (Yes, really)

What is primogeniture?

A: The rule that a title can only be inherited by the eldest male offspring. Passing over any females even if the nearest male heir is a cousin of the main family. This doesn't apply to the Royal family anymore, but it does apply to other members of the peerage.

Which career do graduates from Norland college pursue?

A: Nannies to the super rich. (They're kind of awesome)

What is Harrods?

A: The most upscale department store in the world. They used to cater all ALL the whims of the super-wealthy - able to procure pretty much anything, including a lion. There's an old joke that someone asked Harrods to procure a camel for them and the sales associate replied, "With one hump or two?"

What is a Royal Warrant?

A: A Royal Warrant of Appointment is granted as a mark of recognition to people or companies who have regularly supplied goods or services to the Royal Household.

What type of clothing is associated with Savile Row?

A: Bespoke and tailored suits for men.

What is Henley Royal Regatta?

A series of rowing races held at Henley, also known as the Mecca of Rowing. Similar to Ascot in some regards.

When can a tiara be worn, and by whom?

A: By married women, at white tie events and coronations, and only after six o'clock in the evening. The exception is for a bride on her wedding day. You don't actually have to be titled to wear one.

What is finishing school?

A course one might attend after school to learn the necessary skills for their place in society as a socialite, a leader or a public figure. Posture, table manners, hosting, smalltalk, even getting out of low cars in short skirts can feature on the curriculum. This is generally regarded as very posh.

If you actually read down here I hope you found it interesting - it took me ages to type this all out lmao :)

[spongeaddict]

My SINCEREST apologies that I’ve been MIA, here are some headcanons to hopefully tide you over until I can get my GD crap together!

Fraphne engagement/wedding headcanons!

Fred proposes with a trap, of course

Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby are all in on the proposal

Fred doesn’t have a ring when he proposes because he was afraid of getting the wrong one (even though Daphne promised she’d love anything he picked out) 

Instead he tells her they’ll go ring shopping together, which delights her to no end

Daphne is anti-diamond, so she chooses something more unique, like an opal or a sapphire

While both Daphne and Fred would have been happy with a small wedding with just the gang and close family in attendance, both sets of their parents insist on throwing them a huge wedding

They can afford it after all

It’s definitely a spring wedding; sometime in late April or early May

Daphne’s wedding dress is practical but gorgeous; a classy ivory strapless mermaid style gown with a short train, if any

Her something old is a string of pearls that all the women in her family have worn an their wedding days

Her something new is her dress/veil

Her something borrowed is her mother’s best pearl earrings

Her something blue is the insoles of her shoes

She’s got two pairs of shoes by the way; heels for the ceremony, comfortable white sneakers for the reception

Fred doesn’t wear a tuxedo; instead he wears a classic dark gray suit

But instead of a tie, he wears his ascot

Shaggy’s the best man, Velma’s the maid of honor, Scooby is the ring bearer (but you knew that!)

The wedding is outdoors, somewhere like a winery; the tent for the reception is set up next to the vineyard

Daphne’s bouquet has lilacs, orchids, white roses, and plenty of greenery

Fred and Daphne don’t have a First Look; the first time Fred sees her on their wedding day is when she’s walking down the aisle

Daphne is worried about crying during the ceremony, but when the day arrives she’s so happy she just smiles the whole time

Fred, however, goes through the whole ceremony with tears of joy in his eyes 

So do Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby for that matter

Open bar at the reception because again; the Blake family can afford it

Fred and Daphne’s first dance is to something classic and romantic like “Something” by The Beatles or “At Last” by Etta James

In a move that surprises everyone, Velma gives a funny maid of honor speech, and Shaggy gives a serious best man speech 

Both speeches are perfect

There’s no bouquet toss because Daphne thinks it’s tacky

There’s also no garter toss because Fred thinks it’s weird

The biggest drama of the evening occurs when Scooby disappears halfway through the reception and no one can find him for an hour

It turns out he just ate so much food he passed out behind the DJ booth

The song that closes out the night is “Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing

Fred and Daphne do the lift 😊 

They discussed for a long time about what to do about last names; whether Daphne should take Fred’s or keep her own

What they end up doing is both hyphenating

So their full names after they get married are Frederick Blake-Jones and Daphne Blake-Jones

[scummy-writes]

For the nsfw alphabet could you do Arthur & Theo and the letters A I O???

Sure sure! Thank you for sendin smth in!

These are from this nsfw prompt list. If you want to send something in, read this short post!

Arthur

A for Aphrodisiac. [What always turns them on?]

Tugging that damned ascot of his and muttering in his ear, telling him that you need him now, and if he doesn't hurry up and join you, then you're going to take care of your 'problem' yourself.

... realistically, I think he gets turned on by a lot, but a needy you will trump all. Whether you're demanding, throwing a leg over his thigh to relieve some of the ache you're suffering through because of him. Or whether you're more flustered and shy, sweetly pleading for him to fuck you senseless.

I for Imagination [What do they fantasize about?]

I'm trying to think of what he wouldn't imagine agwkrkt Arthur's imagination is constantly running rampant, I think. The man is either horny with his heart or with his dick.

I think the prominent fantasy would be getting to whisk you to somewhere private, having the privacy, finally, and luxury to spend the whole day(s) trying new ways of making you cry out his name in desperate need. His focus would be on your pleasure, and of course what new positions and surfaces the two of you could explore. If it was a secluded enough area, I'm sure he'd love to fuck you outside as well, but. I think marathon sex would be one of the fantasies he would have.

He wouldn't have to worry about writing, and you wouldn't have to worry about morning shame of how loud you were. A win/win!

O for Oral [Giving or receiving? Why?]

Primarily giving. I don't believe there isn't a man who wouldn't love receiving a blowjob, but for a while I believe Arthur would be very intent on giving. Due to a number of reasons. The feeling of your thighs pressed against him, how much it riles him up to hear a whimper of his name as you tug at his hair, how the taste and smell of you has him feeling intoxicated...

He'd certainly be happy to receive, but may be a bit reluctant since he doesn't want to make you feel forced or pressured to in any way. But if you're slipping to your knees while he's at his desk, complaining about his writers block, he'll certainly take you up on it.

Or maybe he's trying to be nice since he knows that after so much coffee, daily, that his cum probably doesn't taste great.

.

Theo

A for Aphrodisiac. [What always turns them on?]

He thinks its hot when you try to be the one in control or match his remarks.

I think Theo is very dominant, but I also think he enjoys a little 'fight' for the dominance at times. Seeing you proud to have wrangled him into the position you wanted, or getting his cheeks to burn by teasing his sensitive spots, only for Theo to flip the roles and pin you down. He'd have a lot of snark, but it's hard to be disappointed with the change when he's finally thrusting himself inside of you.

I for Imagination [What do they fantasize about?]

Being used as a personal dildo-

My boring answer is a tie between him fantasizing about fucking you in your first home together, or wedding night sex.

Other answer would be... imagining you masturbating because you're unable to wait til he's back from work. Maybe it sparks from cleaning his room, thinking about the last time you were tangled with him on his bed. How the sheets smell like him, and how badly you've been craving his touch. And soon you're on the side of the bed he normally sleeps on, fingers easing the needy ache you've built up through the day.

And then if he happens to return home early that day, and spots you on his bed, lost in your own pleasure... he'd be certainly quick to assist.

O for Oral [Giving or receiving? Why?]

Please god, let Theo turn off his thoughts and enjoy lapping up his favorite taste after a long day of working.

Theo loves giving. He wants to push you into overstimulation, have his scalp sore from how much you grip at his hair. He wants to tease you relentlessly by bringing you so close to the edge, only to focus on marking up your inner thighs, waiting for you to beg for his tongue again.

I don't think he'd ever argue against receiving, but you'd certainly have to use your hand for what you can't take into your mouth...

The Man from Black Water, Chapter 5

A/N  Santa Claus brought our family a holiday trip to Montreal, so I’m getting this chapter posted before I leave.  In it, we see Jamie continuing to struggle to find his place at Netherton, while Claire entertains a suitor.  Alternative working title: Mr. Randall Comes A’Courtin’.

Previous chapters, plus the mapping of Outlander to Man from Snowy River characters are available on my AO3 page.

The silky amber light of whale oil lanterns spilled from the bunkhouse’s mullioned window, casting a chessboard pattern upon the ground outside.  Jamie paused on the veranda as the boisterous hum of his fellow workers escaped into the night.  There was Angus, Rupert and Willie, arguing over cards.  Ian, a particularly devout Presbyterian, reading aloud from Corinthians.  A man known to all as Black Jack was standing by the window, whittling a piece of oak with a knife.

Jamie felt a pang of longing for companionship, the kinship found where like minds meet.  Raised as he was in a remote croft, he was used to solitude, often passing the hours between breaking his fast and sitting down to supper with naught but animals for company.  Still, before his mother had died the Frasers would visit other crofting families or travel down the old military road to the parish kirk to celebrate a wedding or baptism or mourn a death.  It had been a circumscribed community, to be sure, but one that suited him well.  Here at Netherton, surrounded by people, he had never felt more alone.

“Steas,” he commanded to Rollo, who lay obediently on the veranda, his thick tail curling around to serve as a pillow.

“Teuchter!” Angus greeted with false cheer as Jamie shouldered the door open, his saddle balanced on one hip.  “Did the fillies in the stable show ye a good time?”

Rupert and Willie howled obligingly, while Ian paused in his recitation to look disapproving.  Jamie grit his teeth until his jaw pulsed.  Whether by instinct or dumb luck, Angus had guessed at the young Highlander’s inexperience with the fairer sex and was only too happy to taunt him with crude jokes as a result.

Sitting on his designated bunk, Jamie began to rub his father’s old saddle with linseed oil, checking the webbing and straps for any signs of weakness.  The smell of the oil and the memories it drew to the surface meant he was barely following the flow of conversation.

“… probably will wait for the first frost,” Angus was saying.

“I thought Beauchamp controlled the seasons,” Willie laughed at his own joke.

“Ye’re both numpties,” Black Jack pronounced, not ceasing his whittling.  “The laird won’t start the high country muster until Hugh Munro arrives.”

Jamie stopped tending his saddle to listen with interest.

“Who’s this Munro, then?” Angus asked, not happy with having his authority questioned.  “Some kind of crack drover?”

“Munro’s no’ a drover.  He’s a…,” Black Jack waved his knife in the air, searching for the right word, “…a master, a genius.  He knows every inch of the Highlands and could cross them blindfolded.”

“I’ve met him,” Jamie spoke up, unable to keep his thoughts to himself.  “When I was young,” he clarified quickly, seeing the looks of incredulity turning his way. “He and my father were mates.”

“Mates!” Angus exploded in glee.  “Bollocks, ye bloody walloper!”

Jamie held his head high under the barrage of ridicule his innocent pronouncement unleashed, but he could still feel his ears burning in indignation as he lay in his bunk, long after the lamps had been extinguished.  His only consolation was that soon he would be back in his beloved Highlands, even if it was only to drove Henry Beauchamp’s cattle down from their summer pasture.

***

The refined tinkle of spoon against porcelain and the muted hiss of the gas lights were the only sounds in the Netherton parlour as Claire Beauchamp received Frank Randall, Esquire the following Saturday at precisely four in the afternoon.

The gentleman wore an austere grey frock coat, stove pipe trousers and matching waistcoat and ascot tie in deepest crimson silk.   His dark hair held so much pomade that it glistened wetly under the lights, while his mutton chops crowded his mouth, making it look permanently pinched.  He had the appearance of a middle-aged financier, although Claire knew he had just recently turned twenty-eight.

The lady, for her part, wore her best afternoon tea gown in palest petal pink, with billowing sleeves that sighed as she moved.  Her lady’s maid had styled her recalcitrant curls into a lavish crown that added several inches to her already substantial height. Crystal ear bobs dangled beside her swanlike neck.  Heavy damask drapes were drawn to block the falling light and the fire was not yet lit, yet her pale skin held an alabaster glow.

They made, their parents unanimously agreed, a lovely couple.

“It has been the most dreadfully warm summer,” Frank Randall observed after a sip of Earl Grey tea.  “For Scotland,” he added, making a subtle reference to their common English ancestry. The Randall’s were millers who had migrated north from the Midlands in the late eighteenth century.  Through a combination of thrift and canny alliances, they now owned one of Dundee’s foremost jute empires.  By contrast, the Beauchamp’s were nouveau-riche, but they held the advantage of substantial property, whereas the Randall’s resided in town.  A union between their only children would elevate both families’ social standing considerably.

For her part, Claire was annoyed at how Frank pronounced Scotland as though it were two words: Scot Land.

“These shortbread biscuits are simply divine,” her suitor persevered, undaunted by the lack of reciprocity in conversation.  “Delightfully buttery.”

Claire shifted subtly, trying to alleviate the pinch of her whalebone corset.  To amuse herself, she had begun counting the number of remarks Frank Randall made that required no response on her part.  The tally was ten, but it seemed certain he’d exceed a dozen before his cup of tea ran dry.

“Father bought Pardon after he won the Derby last year and has been trying to get him to cover our Masquerade.  She’s your Hamlet’s dam, as you likely know.  Any progeny would have an unequalled racing pedigree, but she’s been rather indifferent to his advances.”

Claire perked up.

“She’s likely not in estrus,” she commented thoughtfully

“Hmm?” Frank Randall seemed rather startled to hear another voice.

“If her ovaries aren’t producing ova, she won’t be receptive to breeding.  Has she been showing any signs of ovulation in the stud’s presence?  Raising her tail?  Urinating frequently?  Vulvar winking?”

The jangle of a china cup meeting saucer echoed about the room. Face an impressive shade of puce, Frank Randall rose and took his leave with an impressive alacrity, not even pausing to wish the lady of the manor a pleasant evening.

Claire stayed seated, calmly sipping her tea with a satisfied expression.

***

On a crisp September morning, Netherton’s labourers were finding any excuse to stay within eyeshot of the tree-lined alley that led to the manor. Henry Beauchamp stood beside his overseer, watching the scene with a frown.

“What is this?  A union meeting?” he groused.

“They’ve heard Hugh Munro arrives this morn’,” Dougal explained.

“Ah, and they’ve all come out to gawk, is that it?”

“Tis no’ very often they get tae meet a living legend,” Dougal apologized with a helpless sort of shrug.

Not fifteen minutes later, a single rider trotted down the lane leading a packhorse.  All activity in the stable yard came to a halt as he dismounted.  The men held their caps in their hands as though attending church.

Scanning the crowd, Hugh Munro noticed a familiar face.

“James Fraser, is it no’?” he asked of the young man with the striking copper hair and muckle size.

“Aye sir,” Jamie responded, extending a hand in greeting. “Can I see tae yer horses?”

“Aye.  Watch the bay.  He’s a hog fer water.”

As he walked towards the manor with Dougal and Henry, Hugh Munro paused and looked back on the assembled crowd.

“Och, Jamie.  I was sorry tae hear o’ yer faither.  I’ll ne’er forget his hospitality.  He was a good mate.”

It's time...

I've had this outfit in my drafts for a year and wanted to post it before the episode drops~

A forest wedding would fit them so well and a meeting before the ceremony (first look) near the lake.

Inspiration for her:

She doesn't want a superfancy dress, as always :D A lace top fits more her style and a wavy skirt for the occasion (but shorter than floor length!) Her favorite boots are also part of the outfit for running around and dancing the night away. For the reception, a longer sheer top was chosen with my button placket on the arms and a low back neckline. And since Rosalya was involved in the process, she couldn't resist making her a veil with flowers as a surprise.

Inspiration for him:

For Lysander, she wanted him to go all out with his outfit. Maybe something like his classic victorian waistcoat and ascot tie.

Or a shirt with lace sleeves and neckline. A low neckline and a coat over it and matching pants. And pike boots, maybe with a short heel so he wouldn't be even taller than Elex. Black nails and a few vintage (gemstone) rings would complete the look 🖤

23. suit

Estinien grumbled under his breath as he walked into the dressing room, straightening his cuffs for the thousandth time. The best thing about being a dragoon had been the dispensation to wear his drachen mail in place of blasted formal wear, but when he’d suggested such a thing to Aymeric, the man had all but glared him out of his office. A suit had been delivered by courier three days later, with a very strongly-worded note about appropriate wedding attire.

His discomfort with the well-tailored outfit seemed to be shared by the groom, who was fussing with his ascot in front of a mirror – or, perhaps, judging by the distant expression on his face, Aymeric’s preoccupation had nothing to do with his clothes at all. Watching him tie and then untie the fabric for a third time snapped Estinien’s patience, and he strode across the room to turn his best friend away from the mirror by his shoulders, tugging the white silk straight and moving his hands alowly in an unfamiliar but practiced pattern. “Fury, you taught me to tie one of these bloody things, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten now.”

Aymeric chuckled as he relaxed, just a little. “I fear I might forget more than that before the day is done.”

“Why in the hells did you go to all this trouble, anyway? It’s no one’s damned business who you marry, you’re not obligated to throw the entire city a party just to try and keep them from talking.” They still would, too. All the people that had whispered bastard behind Aymeric’s back all those years would whisper foreign whore behind Kaede’s just as easily, whether they did the wedding “properly” before the Fury, or on a beach somewhere, with only a few important witnesses.

The other man let out a soft snort of amusement as he stepped back and inspected Estinien’s handiwork, apparently finding it sufficient. “You try being the leader of Ishgard, marrying the Warrior of Light, and see how much privacy you are afforded when it comes to such things.”

Estinien crossed his arms and shook his head. “No fucking thank you to the first, and I intend to for the second.” By which he meant Marzanna, not Kaede, and not for the first time he was struck by the oddness of their mirrored positions.

An expression flashed across Aymeric’s face for a moment – a combination of jealousy and longing, perhaps, certainly not for the woman but for the freedom to do as he pleased – but it was quickly subsumed by the restrained nervous excitement that he’d worn for the past moon. “Good. I shall have to start preparing my best man’s speech.”

“You even think about telling a single embarassing story from our youth, and I’ll give the job to bloody Urianger.” At least then, no one would understand what was being said.

“Heavens forfend. And after I did you the favor of passing your own speech-delivery responsibilities to Artoirel.” The amusement in the room slowly faded, and Aymeric sighed as they walked towards the door. “To be quite honest, I don’t know why I’m so nervous.”

Estinien shrugged, and slapped him on the shoulder, amused to see him stumble forward a step for once. “You won the war. You got the girl. Consider this a victory celebration. And if you ever get tired of the pomp and circumstance, I’m sure Marz and I could help you fake your death.”

That startled a laugh out of him. “Thank you, my friend. I’ll take it under consideration for the future.”

The Evolution and Significance of Men's Ties: A Sartorial Journey

Throughout the annals of history, men's fashion has seen myriad transformations, with each era bringing its unique styles and trends to the forefront. Among the various elements of men’s attire, the tie stands out as a symbol of sophistication, professionalism, and personal expression. From its early origins to its contemporary variations, the tie has evolved significantly, mirroring changes in society, culture, and fashion sensibilities. This article delves into the history, evolution, and enduring significance of men’s ties, exploring how this simple accessory has become an indispensable part of men’s wardrobe across the globe.

The Origins of the Tie

The history of the tie traces back to the 17th century during the Thirty Years' War when Croatian mercenaries serving in France wore small, knotted neckerchiefs as part of their uniform. These neckerchiefs caught the eye of the French, leading to the adoption and gradual evolution of the accessory among the European aristocracy. Known initially as the cravat, it underwent various transformations, becoming a staple of men’s fashion by the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Evolution of Tie Styles

Over the centuries, ties have evolved through numerous styles, reflecting broader changes in fashion and society. The early cravat paved the way for the ascot, a formal tie popularized in the 19th century, characterized by its wide, scarf-like appearance and elaborate knot. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the emergence of the bow tie and the long tie, precursors to the modern necktie. The bow tie, with its distinctive bow shape, became associated with formal attire, while the long tie evolved into the sleek, streamlined accessory familiar today.

The 20th century witnessed further diversification in tie designs, with the advent of new materials, patterns, and widths. The 1920s to the 1940s, for instance, saw ties becoming broader and more colorful, reflecting the exuberant spirit of the times. The post-war era, in contrast, favored narrower and more subdued ties, aligning with the more conservative fashion sensibilities of the period.

The Significance of Ties in Professional and Social Settings

Ties have long been associated with professionalism, authority, and respectability. In the professional realm, wearing a tie signifies adherence to dress codes and conveys a sense of seriousness and competence. Ties are often mandatory in corporate settings, legal courts, and formal events, underscoring their role in establishing a professional demeanor.

Beyond the workplace, ties serve as a medium for personal expression and style. The choice of tie—be it the color, pattern, or material—allows men to express their individuality and fashion sense. Ties can communicate confidence, creativity, and even one's mood, making them a powerful tool for non-verbal communication.

The Tie as a Cultural Symbol

Ties also holds cultural significance, serving as symbols of affiliation, tradition, and identity. In many schools and organizations, ties are part of the official uniform, fostering a sense of belonging and unity among members. Ties can also denote membership in professional associations, clubs, and fraternities, acting as markers of one's social and professional circles.

Furthermore, ties have a place in ceremonial and formal occasions, such as weddings, funerals, and state functions, where they signify respect and solemnity. In these contexts, ties are more than mere fashion accessories; they are integral to the rituals and traditions that define human societies.

The Future of Ties in Men's Fashion

The relevance and popularity of ties have fluctuated with changing fashion trends and shifts in societal attitudes toward formal wear. In recent years, the rise of business casual and the increasing acceptance of casual wear in professional settings have led some to question the future of the tie. However, ties continue to hold a unique place in men's fashion, adapting to contemporary styles while retaining their classic appeal.

Emerging trends in men's fashion indicate a resurgence of interest in ties, with designers experimenting with new materials, textures, and patterns. Ties made from sustainable fabrics, for example, cater to the growing demand for eco-friendly fashion, while innovative designs and unconventional patterns appeal to younger generations seeking to stand out.

Conclusion: A Timeless Accessory with Enduring Appeal

From its humble beginnings as a military accessory to its status as a staple of men’s fashion, the tie has traversed a remarkable sartorial journey. Its evolution reflects broader historical, cultural, and social trends, showcasing the tie's adaptability and enduring significance. Whether worn as a mark of professionalism, a statement of style, or a symbol of tradition, ties remain an indispensable accessory in men's wardrobes.

Kurt Fashion Retrospective s5-6

Putting these seasons together partly bc similar fashion and partly bc I tend to ignore s6 lol oops. Link to masterpost

So, we’ve entered the full on Crack era and it shows bc all of a sudden Kurt’s clothes are hella bright. It started end of s4, in Lights Out, and just... increased. And I do mean sudden bc yes, s4 he had some more black while sad over breakup, but wearing a bunch of bright colours together was never Kurt’s thing. He liked old hollywood, classy glamour. He looks great in greyscale. Yes he’d do pop of red (or in a red plaid) but this season... it’s very extra. Kinda adds to the jarringness of where the show is at now. Same with s6, which is even more of a drug trip. 

Kurt also wears more ascots. So many ascots. I love in Old Dog, New Tricks, which Chris wrote, he points it out in the recap intro bc he def noticed it too. Why so many ascots??

Also, we’re definitely at the end of any statement pieces, and not much comfy!Kurt looks. there’s one comfy hoodie in Tested and that is it. I’m so sad bc I love all his hoodies. Cozy, but interesting styles and fashionable. No, s5-6 Kurt basically has the same look all the time. Buttondown and tight pants. sometimes vest/blazer, sometimes an ascot. More short sleeves, I guess? Also quality shirtless/tank top Kurt in Tested but that’s not really fashion lol.

And again, the colours. some of the looks do work, but some are just So Many colours. And even s1 wasn’t like this. Kurt’s go to colour was a bright red, nice accent. s1 would also have some flashes of blue, but again the colours weren’t often all mixed together. It’d be an accent to more muted tones. The most we got was in Rhodes where he has the pale green and mustard tie. But that wasn’t the bright colours.

Maybe it’s Kurt being happier? But... Kurt’s not super happy s5-6 so idk why. Again, I think it was just to add to the chaos of what was happening in the show, bc everything felt like a fever dream and the wild colours helped with that.

Honestly, these might be my least fav for Kurt fashion?? S1-3 had some weird stuff, sure, but at least it was interesting? And Kurt had lots of variety, being more masc one day, more femme the next. S4 he’s all but dropped his fem looks but we got more hot looks so can’t complain. 

s5-6 they had like. a uniform. Kurt didn’t get much variety bc besides colour/pattern, his style was all the same and that makes me sad bc fashion was such a part of him. I get him wanting to be more ‘subtle’ bc of the drama with not wanting to be an ‘acquired taste’ and wanting mainstream success etc, but still sad that we really didn’t get much fashion from him in later seasons. Maybe part is no more performances? Like, remember Jazz Hot? The Lame Pants?? Now, Kurt performs and he wears same things he’d wear on the street. I miss the Artistry ugh.

Did this inspire me to do a bunch of Kurt art with different fashion? Maybee.... might be posted at some point....

Anyway, least fav s5 look:

Just... He looks like Charlie Brown. Plus not a fan of the pants and... ya not a win.

Most of my fav Kurt looks s5 are from Tested but that’s for lack of clothes lol. Here are fav Fashion looks lol:

Love how he’s only holding that sweater bc omg thos pants are Tight. He looks great tho.

I love this so muchhh. Can’t even express. He also just looks so damn cute here. I know it’s a simple look, but he rocks it

I wish we got a better view of this whole look bc I Spy some Lame Pants. And the lace shirt??? Why didn’t we get more Kurt in lace bc omg. See, he’s performing, so he’s a bit more extra in his look. Why didn’t we get more of this????

Onto least fav from s6 (part of me wants to say his wedding suit bc omg it’s so boring and it’s his wedding day, I can name like 10 other looks that would’ve been better):

I just. There’s plaid AND polka dots AND stripes? Kurt... no. And with the turtle neck... I can’t support this. No.

And my favs... 

I lowkey like the shawl? Esp with the tassels? See, this is an interesting addition that could spice up his fashion a bit. Lowkey would like to see this on different outfit tho, without ascot lol

I like this look after it’s all undone lol. Also, reluctant fan of the fruit rollup pants :)

Do like the spider shirt. Like a distant cousin of the spider brooch on the blue/black striped sweater XD

And that ends my retrospective! Mainly excuse for me to rant about Kurt, one of my fav hobbies. But none of my friends watch glee, so tumblr it is. And this is all just my opinion, obvs ppl will disagree
