#patroc’s rabbit holes

[everiistence]

Lol I remember writing fanfic for a grade in high school. Mine was for a series of illustrations on the American civil war. I spent way too much time browsing reenactment gear websites and not enough time writing the story. What’s your assignment on?

- Patroc

omg patroc hi!! also, same. i, too, fall into rabbit holes of looking at cool stuff on the internet. sometimes i find gems like this:

(from citypassguide.com) (i couldn't stop laughing)

as for the assignment it's literally freud LMAO... my english teacher is obsessed with freudian analyses and the like so our assignment is to turn in a piece of fiction with freudian concepts.

i'm so tempted to submit a document titled "your mom" but i don't think he'd appreciate that

#HE'S MAKING US WRITE IN 1ST PERSON TOO #AUGHHHH #also if we submit a visual physical representation of our story we get extra credit and im going to make those crazy pinboards w red string #should i get him a “pink freud: the dark side of your mom” t-shirt for the holidays

Well, here it is. I present to you “The three grey stripses are the dead ones, and the freshman’s in prison” also known as the “If Shrek, Hello Kitty, and Nando’s can have a tartan, why can’t We Are The Tigers?” Tartan

#we are the tigers #watt musical #eye strain #patroc’s rabbit holes #my tartan rabbit hole is actually leading to me producing watt content somehow what??? #Preston I’m sorry but also if you want to write me a formal approval of the design I could register it... #the more of these tartans I slap together the more I realize how unsatisfactory the one I’ve revised for personal things is #Ye s the sett size is the right size for a kilt. No I won’t probably drop $1K to get one made.

Part of me wants to rewatch Downton now but the rest of me knows that once we lose Sibyl I will care significantly less -Patroc

MOOD 

I loved her... everything just got so grim after she died (like Julian Fellowes went down a rabbit hole of “oh, we’ve tortured the audience and the Crawleys, time to fill up the plot with endless pain and suffering”)

#mary and edith's relationship deteriorates even more after she's gone #no more cheerful baby feminist #instead *tortures mary* *tortures isobel* *tortures anna* *tortures thomas* *tortures anna* *tortures mrs. h* *tortures bates* *tortures an-

I had a revelation in the shower.

Why do we not wear utility kilts and cover their front aprons with pins and patches?

Like look at all that space! Imagine how many fun pins/patches/personalization stuffs you could fit on this bad boy.

Heck you could even do fun things with the pleats.

Also cargo pockets because yes.

#not watt #patroc’s rabbit holes #Patroc posts #side note. I went for the black utility kilt because I had a coupon for signing up for the emails #like utility kilts are very non-traditional so like have fun with them #also like the language on the sites can be a little ... gender binary... but like the kilts aren’t gendered #not that any clothing is. spicy takes right there #but srsly we should absolutely make utility kilts more popular across the board #they’re like cargo shorts but cooler

[trans-clark]

I’m not gonna use my stimulus check and tax refund to buy a kilt. I’m not gonna do it.

#not watt #tw money #Patroc posts #I have a day wear utility kilt but I need like a good 8 yard performance kilt #I borrow the band’s spare when I play with them but I just kinda want my own #also idk if there are standards about competing solo in your band kilt #probably not but idk #patroc’s rabbit holes

I have just realized that I could make a watt tartan. There is nothing stopping me. I wouldn’t be able to get it registered without pma’s blessing, but like I have another tartan that Is want to register first anyway

#Patroc posts #patroc’s rabbit holes #I can’t imagine it would be a *good* tartan since orange is ... a difficult color for me to work with

[trans-clark]

Update: I am now down to 2 different tartan options. (If anyone had opinions, lmk)

MacDonald Isles Hunting - Ancient

And MacLean Hunting Modern

#not watt #Patroc posts #Patroc’s rabbit holes #eyestrian #< just in case #I’m no stranger to kilt stuffs so like there’s no risk I won’t wear whichever pattern I choose #I’m just not sure how loud I want my tartan to be #neither seems too bright but I’ve seen the Macdonald done with some ... less than ideal ... purples and greens #I’m just a bit more low key #hence why the Macleod is off the table #I also don’t look great in yellow so there’s that too #I should specify Macleod of Lewis

[trans-clark]

Ah yes Amazon. This is an outfit that I would defs wear (/s)

#not watt #Patroc posts #patroc’s rabbit holes #does the best go under or over the quarter zip??? #also why on earth would you pair those shoes with those pants??? #I’m not getting an argyle vest from Amazon when I can get one from the kilt shop and know it’s good quality

[trans-clark]

Imagine buying an “Imitation Safety Sgian Dubh” instead of one that will actually work.

#not watt #Patroc posts #tw knife #(that’s what a sgian dubh is) #patroc’s rabbit holes

Brain: Buy all the kilts.

Wallet: I mean... you probs shouldn’t but maybe you can treat yourself once or twice.

Femur: lol.

#not watt #patroc’s rabbit holes #in other news my plan to get a cheap wool traditional kilt has been thwarted by the short femur squad #the standard drop is 24 inches #I’d have to wear that like halfway up my ribs for it to be at the right height #you already wear it about an inch above the navel and for me that’s like a 22 drop but no one keeps 22 in my size on the rack ... #they all have to be custom made or take a risk on like an ex hire but who knows who was going regimental in that #doesn’t mean I wouldn’t consider it but also ... why would I want to take that chance

[trans-clark]

Ok so I might be legit kilt shopping now...

I am a simple man who likes a simple tartan. So I gotta ask ... Ogilvie tartan whatcha doin there bud?
