#bathrobe. as it should be

[bookshelfdreams]

yk when you see someone share a finished handmade item that they clearly spent a lot of time and money on and it's just. The absolute tackiest thing you have seen in your life. And then you ask yourself why someone would waste all those resources on such an eyesore.

(no, of course you can't relate to that because you're a much nicer person than me)

In any case.

BEHOLD!

A wool coat!

The top fabric is handwoven and handspun, the whole thing is sewn by hand, too.

Leftovers. Barely anything, all things considered, which is very satisfying.

This thing took me well over 3 years to make, on and off. And now I'm done.

Thank you for your attention.

#carry on XD #i hope y'all realize that when I say tacky it's with nothing but love in my heart #yes it's ugly. that's the whole point. #everyone should have an item in their wardrobe that will get Looks and raised eyebrows #it's good for you #anyway can't believe I'm done! this is a huge boost to my crafting hubris I CAN DO ANYTHING #wizard bathrobe adventures #handweaving #handspinning #hand sewing #look what i made #crafts #overall I'm happy with it even though there's. things that aren't ideal #the pockets are set a bit too low #and i should have made it a tiny bit longer not much but maybe like 5cm #anyway #overall it's a nice coat i think #Now That's What I Call Slow Fashion

Hot Take

museums should label 19th-century women’s clothing primarily by formality (except in the case of garments with specific purposes, eg. “cycling costume” or “nightgown”), not by the 10,000 different terms they might be called at the time

my reasoning is that the current hodgepodge of terms, while technically accurate to the period:

1. reinforces the myth that middle- or upper-class women used to always change their dresses many times a day No Matter What, rather than what seems to me the primary-source-supported reality- that they changed situationally, as necessary

2. promotes unnecessary disconnect between the past and the present. we have varying degrees of clothing formality today, just without specific terms for each one. they had garments that could serve for multiple purposes and be dressed up or down with accessories back then. but because we don’t talk about an “afternoon dress” vs. a “ball gown” and they didn’t talk about the dress code for a party being “nice casual” vs. “dressy.” there’s this false idea that our systems of clothing changes/formality are Totally Different. which is really not the case, I think

3. even they couldn’t agree on what to call each individual outfit! I’ve seen fashion plates in magazines where the textual description and the label on the image give the same dress different names

this post brought to you by: Marzi Has Seen Too Many Gowns Labeled “Evening Gown” On Museum Websites Apparently For Their Formality When In Truth They Do Not Have The Single Factor That Usually Made A Dress Strictly For Evening At The Time (namely, revealing more skin about the chest and arms) And Therefore Would Have Stood Just As Well For Formal Daytime Events

#dress history #museums #fashion history #19th century #like no you would not necessarily change from Nightgown to Morning Dress to Afternoon Dress to Dinner Dress to Evening Dress every day #'morning dress' is usually basically what we'd call a fancy bathrobe anyway #'afternoon dress' seems to basically be another term for 'cocktail dress' or semi-formal #if you're not going to a fancy event at any time during the day then a 'day dress' would have served until bedtime #or a 'walking dress' although sometimes there's a difference in skirt length there #MAYBE you might have had to change for dinner with your family if they were very formal but #yeah no they would have found changing a zillion times EVERY DAY as tiresome and pointless as we do #(generally. I'm sure some particularly fashion-obsessed socialites were Down but they were the exception even in their own class) #'promenade gown' literally just means 'fancy day dress' #'opera gown' 'ball gown' and 'evening gown' all seem to be basically interchangeable #in interpreting for the public we should not fall into their trap of making this more complex than it needs to be

earlier i was expressing my confusion to stella about how common it is in werewolf or shifter romances for characters to describe their nonhuman forms as separate from them like "my wolf" or "my dragon" etc and stella went well it's obvious isn't it.

and i flatly went "...uh... is it...?" and cocked my head. and knowing i was definitely barking up the wrong tree said "The fantasy of potentially positive representation for systems? Metaphorical DID?" and then admitted i was lost

and stella shook her head and went air. air. it's about the romantic fantasy of monstrous aspects being separate from you and having their own allure.

and again i stared blankly at her and went Wouldn't You Want to Be The Wolf Though. Like I would want to be the dragon. personally. i would not want the dragon to be a separate guy. unless i could both be a dragon and also have a dragon in my brain. OR be a dragon and have a wolf in my brain. or vice versa

"Well." stella replied. "That is another kind of fantasy, yes. But the idea of the monstrous being separate has its own allure. Like... you say 'there's a darkness growing within me' all the time"

and the thing is Oh Yeah I Absolutely Say That. but i don't think the darkness is necessarily separate from me. like if you think of the ocean and then think of a shark you CAN differentiate the shark from the ocean but that's a latter stage of distinction right. like they're tied together in your mind and you would think of the shark as Part of the ocean. My brain is in my body but is also part of my body. my less charitable urges and feelings are as much a part of me as any other aspect. darkness is a transitory state and the distinction between dark and light is fluid. it's all about how you externalize, categorize, or react in the end

anyway all this to say is that if i could turn into a wolf i would want to Be the wolf and not feel like i was taking a backseat. i want to be able to shapeshift not be in a body that is ontologically distinct from myself that can shapeshift. that sounds like a recipe for a completely new kind of dysphoria. which now that i say that could be an interesting metaphorical exploration of Gender through genre fiction. but i somehow don't think i'm gonna see an interesting exploration/ execution of that in your typical werewolf romance

#long post #now that twitter is died you guys have to experience this #i should probably come up with a tag for when i'm puttering around in my bathrobe and addressing the paintings on my walls

me when i remember that the sequel to the batman (2022) isn’t going to be the secret good version that exists in my head

#IT NEEDS TO HAVE HARVEY DENT #listen to me listen then you can have dick grayson also #Give Battinson A Child please #and i KNOW it won’t happen bc a lot of the first movie borrows from long halloween #which is Exactly why the second movie should have harvey dent in it #anyway also i want loser dad bruce wayne from the batman (2022) #‘do they make my chemical romance shirts for nine year olds’ type beat #also they should put bruce in a cute little pink bathrobe. he deserves it but i don’t really care about that #i have two demands they are harvey dent and dick grayson and i fear i may get neither #whatever. i don’t even care (<- lying) #i’m gonna go. uh. watch btas and by that i mean listen to micheal romance and draw my little dress up doll #OH I FORGOT MY OTHER DEMAND mcr on the soundtrack #please #new song please mr chemicals romance i am begging you on my knees new music new music

It's actually awesome and really cool that you manage to make Trellis look nothing like the book but just like the book at the same time. You see it like 'Oh yeah, that's Trellis' but then put them side by side and they're two different people. Anyway, you're awesome and amazing and a really good artist!!!

YEA Idk if it's some Berenstain bears phenomenon or maybe I just ended up getting used to it 😭😭 I know why Kazu's style is what it is and that's to meet a deadline as a comic artist vs me an illustrator that lets me have more freedom to polish a character design, so I took advantage of that and just. Went overboard.

There's a lot about Trellis has changed, but the "core" design of the character remained intact:

- long straight hair (Kazu's just looked more choppy)

- white/blue color scheme (but mostly blue)

- the overall "seriousness" of the character, which is indicated by his frowning expression and scar

It just so happens I brought all these details and refined them into an nth degree?? If that made sense?? Trellis is one of the few long haired elves so let's exaggerate it w longer straight hair so he'd stand out, let's give him a cleaner haircut to represent his "journey" of recovering from his troubled backstory, Trellis has a severe and clever side so let's give him sharp and half lidded eyes to make him look more serious, he always had a blue motif so let's use it more in his color palette (his skin and hair I picked in the bluer larts of the color wheel, if you compare it w Riva's she looks more purple bc I assigned purple as her color due to her dress in book 8), with the whites based on Kazu's discarded manuscript of book 5 and a foil to the Elf King's color (both being Kings), and lastly, Trellis is known for having an abusive past, so drive it home further, it's not just one stitched scar, it's four, travellingacross his cheek eyebrow and forehead, and worse, ir blinded his eye

Am I embarrassed I put so much thought in this???.... Yes. But that's actually a result of accumulation of years drawing Trellis and absorbing other stuff from other media that it's become an amalgamation of both that and Amulet. In summary, I enhanced and refined his core traits hence why I think he both looks like and do not look Kazu's Trellis

#WHEW... Yeah uh... What was I doing #But yes. I've put careful consideration on Trellis's design #It's part (oooh i wanna have him look like this) #Part (this would make sense for this character if so so) #Part (THIS IS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO DRAW SO I'M MAKING IT AN EASIER ONE) #YES THIS IS ABT TRELLIS'S BATHROBE. YOU MAY NOT KNOW BUT I ALWAYS STRUGGLEDNTO DRAW IT #IN A WAY THAT BOTH MAKES SENSE AND LOOMS GOOD! #But I never could and not mention I still have NO clue how I should colore his pants in a way that looks good #So I put Trellis in a dress. Part bc I like Trellis as gnc part it looks great part most bc it's way easier to draw #Forgive me

the borgias s1e1, s3e1

#rewatching the borgias tag #literally will there ever be another renaissance show on the same level of the borgias 😐 #its such a visual masterpiece. the costuming. the framing. the visual language and call backs. the thematic weaving #the COLOR work the dedication to making the set feel as lived in as possible and the costuming good god the costuming #is so good. literally the medici show is a travesty in comparison. cosimo de medici in a fucking bathrobe. #where's the gilded decadence masking the slow burn of autocratic corruption. literally its so boring!!! #the only saving grace of i medici is brunelleschi and francesco de pazzi. perfect casting. #however they have to answer for francesco de pazzi narrative crimes #ANYWAY showtime borgias 11/10 best show ever im going to roast the hell out of the leonardo show when it ends up on the CW lmao #also i think the medici should be charismatic villains in any media they end up in which is why im so mean abt i medici but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #literally you want me to feel uncritical sympathy for their heavily edited and self propagandized legacy???? #anyway (slams open my notebook) a comic----

i have never cared about the met gala in my life but i was going over the costumes with a friend of mine last night and they where just

bathrobe, literal victorian doll, i don’t want to see your bootie even if it’s silver, a child wearing his dads suit jacket, that pink dude in a suit dress, a weird looking sexy wedding dress with pearls instead of a skirt, another victorian doll, there is no way you can easily walk around with that on but vibes, a beautiful jellyfish, not one but three dresses that i would actually wear, an actual fursuit, goth queen, a part of a chandelier 

and last but not least another glorified bathrobe

#met gala #WHAT WAS WITH THE BATHROBES #LIKE YALL #my axolotl bathrobe looks cooler than your met gala outfits #at least conan grey and jenna Ortega slayed #as they should #(they are literally the only people i cared about) #i can’t put most celebrities names and faces together #it’s intentional #i don’t care and i don’t want to #frizzle’s frazzled thoughts #and WTH tika wateti (that was horrifically misspelled) #like sir i was OBSESSED with your shirt in the Ragnarok behind the scenes #grey? REALLY? #idc about the theme #go get some color on

I would pay real money to hear Falstaff mutter “get a room” at least once after Poins shows up in scene 2 of 1 Henry IV.

Hal: Good morrow, Ned

Poins: Good morrow, sweet Hal-

Falstaff: For God’s sake. Get a room!

And it works so well because Poins immediately turns to Falstaff and harasses him for (seemingly) no reason.

#shakespeare #1 henry iv #Ned Poins #prince Hal #Jack Falstaff #also I firmly believe Ned should show up in a bathrobe #none of these people own a single presentable outfit #this also works with an incredibly dramatic eye roll in place of dialogue

Thoughts on the Kenobi Series

1.) DROP YOUR AO3 HANDLE, DEBORAH. WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE AN OBIKIN SHIPPER NOW. DROP THE HANDLE AND SHARE WITH US YOUR 100K VADERWAN SLOWBURN POST-ORDER 66 NOT-A-FIX-IT FAN FIC, DEBORAH. WE NEED IT.

2.) Qui-Gon should have absolutely survived that gut wound from Maul. Instead he peaced out like the responsibility-phobic destiny-obsessed hippie we all know and vaguely tolerate.

3.) I guess Lucasfilm has totally given up on that whole digital de-aging thing, huh?

#Kenobi series #Kenobi spoilers #The Further Adventures of a Sad Man in a Bathrobe #I should not complain. I am just happy we got more flashbacks and a real Haydenkin smile #Why could we not have given him his glorious wig back?
