Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.

Bacteria do have souls, but binary fission doesn’t produce new souls 99% of the time, so most single celled organisms share these sprawling souls that just get bigger every time they divide. Over time they compact down into these big mats of soul get compacted into geological layers that gradually accrete to the world soul. Sexual reproduction creates new souls but they’re much shorter lived as a result, and rarely make it into the bedrock, so most of the world spirit is from the Proterozoic.

Oh man I— *sweats nervously*

I wonder who left this giant-ass dragon on the white board at college!

Man, they must have driven all the way here, found out the only class they had was cancelled, then decided to do something worthwhile since they were already here. Ha ha, wouldn’t that be funny?????

Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that they’re the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, they’ll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? It’s not like it matters. They’re not a person, they’re just a role being played. They’re the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, he’s fine. Everything’s fine.

One very stupid thing that bothers me in historical romances and fanfic is the fact that male characters often take off shirts but stay in their breeches. The breeches aren’t the last layer of underwear, the shirt is. The shirt is the body linen— that’s the thing that goes against the skin and is the first thing to be put on and the last thing to be taken off— that’s the thing that is sewn by hand by wife/ sister/ daughter/ mother partly out of a lack of extensive manufacturing but because it is the most intimate layer of clothing and you don’t want a stranger’s work against your skin.

Is it just because to modern eyes it would look silly? Is this a case of “I got too interested in the material culture of body linens in the Regency era and now I know too much to enjoy myself”??

It appears I ain’t the only one to make Cockatrices a Fantasy Domesticated Farm Animal 🙌

(Although I’m calling them something else, they’ll clearly be based on the creature)

Great minds think alike!

'' Cockatrices are common livestock dragons. We keep them, we feed them, we butcher them. We also eat their eggs, cruel? for sure, i cant say no to that. however... If a hunt goes bad, at least we'll know there's gonna be a few drumsticks and wings served in our plates, they're one of our important food sources. They cant breathe fire like most other proto-dragons out there, but their bite can be quite detrimental, and entering a pen full of these scaly bastards aint.... much of a good idea. Usually we tend to wear blindfolds to not make any kind of eye contact and piss them off. While domestic Cockatrices remain neutral with our presence, one must avoid directly looking at them in the eyes. Wild Cockatrices will definitely murk your arse if they happen to spot you, with our without eye contact.''
