ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION!! Go watch the Artful Dodger. It’s a great medical drama, it has very big ‘western’ vibes to it, and it’s so mesmerizing and fun to watch because every character and I mean every character is just so Dickens and so so fabulously absurd.

Appreciation for James Wilby as Lord Falmouth in Poldark. (And his expressions.)

I was thinking about why the inaccuracies in Bridgerton and A Knight’s Tale don’t aggravate me in how they try to be modern. And I think it’s because of a couple of reasons. 

One, they aren’t lazy in modernising. They don’t use a basic period template, strip it off everything interesting or old fashioned, wipe it clear of detail and throw in some ‘relatable’ modern stuff instead. The aesthetics are thought out and carried through and make a cohesive world. Not accurate, but immersive and believable.

Second, its because they’ve incorporated elements of modern life that echo realities in the past.

Bridgerton doesn’t have accurate hats and bonnets. It has a regency twist on fascinators. Fascinators are generally associated with fancy events and British upper classes, which is appropriate for the world of Bridgerton, which takes place among the aristocracy during the social season. Using the imagery of modern upper classes to help capture the spirit of the Regency aristocracy, showing that even though this piece is set in the past the underlying drive to fit into this world and advance your family and the class consciousness is still pervasive today,. And while some of the colours, materials and fabrics are not accurate, their intricacy, their obvious expense, is fitting for characters on parade. The clothes are allowed to matter to the characters and make sense for the world they live in.

Furthermore, even though the clothes aren’t accurate, they show signs of research. The dropping off the hems, Eloise’s ribbons, the Queen’s fashions being behind the times, the lighter colours for unmarried girls and the darker tones of the married ladies, all show signs of research. And then the designers take these historical elements, and have fun with them. And instead of toning down interesting historical detail to make the fashions ‘relatable’, they turn the colours and excess right up to make it fun. As a history fan, you can look at the costumes and recognise the influence of regency fashions, even if they aren’t recreated to life. Bridgerton designs are almost a homage, respectful and inspired by regency fashions, as opposed to an attempt to scrub them clean and make them palatable for modern audiences,

 A Knight’s Tale recreates the modern sporting world in Medieval Europe, which captures the excitement and thrill of jousting. It merges modern and historical showing how the emotions and passion of competitive sport, the dreams these sports represent, are a constant part of the human experience.  

So these works are basically not saying, we want to make a period piece but old fashioned stuff is boring so we’re just going to modernise it. They’re saying that the themes and experiences and; most of all, the people in these works are at heart the same as they were in the past as they are in modern day, so we will blend these worlds together to make a new world to show the timelessness of these themes.

Baymax in the new Baymax! show buying pads for a girl who got her first period and getting help from people, including a trans man.

Some people are really mad about this, when he is literally a health care robot interested in people's physical and emotional needs.

I never said I was a samurai, you did. I’m on the path of revenge. There’s no place on it for love or friendship or weakness.

Hey Tumblr, there's a new historical/period comedy series on Netflix which you will love! It's called 1670! It's about Polish nobility and their peasant-thralls. However, Netflix is not promoting it to international audiences, bc it's Polish, even though there are subtitles available in so many languages!

It has:

Great Humour

Amazing Polish Folk Music

Historical Costumes that are not Western!

CANON LESBIANS

One of the said lesbians is a repressed lesbian w religious trauma & the subplot lasts longer than one episode

Priest Jakub

A really good combination of making historical and ahistorical jokes

And much more!

Seriously, give it a watch bc I'd hate to see only my Polish mutuals watch it, it's new, it's fresh, it's witty, not another remake, and it shows another culture & history! (aren't you tired of watching yet another show on the English monarchy, then 1670 is there for ya)

A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE WITH NO DIVORCE

#NOT SHIP ART. PLEASE DON'T TAG OR INTERPRET AS SUCH #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #julie joyful #frank frankly #senjart #the idea that playfellow co is trying to get frank and julie to be together romantically instead of just best friends #and how the queer identities they have is getting suppressed by the company #like how frank and eddie has to act ''distant'' because of the fear of being watched and not putting their relationship at risk #I feel it's getting stronger. #esp with the period the show was set in. gah!!!!!!
