hey loves it's me, ya indivi Rene. yes, there is a demo coming out today :* it's going to be, so so so much shorter than I wanted because I started making variations of the variations LMFAO

It'll feature the first part of Margan's Pre-Voluntary Route. I was going to add the rest of the Voluntary Route but I got SUPER into making Skipper's favorite food variations have fun descriptions and cultural facts about them. I might just put a placeholder text, for now, tho, so you can do the whole ride with Margan, but we'll see!!!

I hate doing half-cocked content, but I'm going to try and like, convince myself that's ok for this demo so it can be longer by the time I drop it!

Aside from narrative content, the Codex and Guide will be pretty fleshed out so I think it's not a total waste. Okay, actually, let's use better language besties:

I did a pretty good job creating the content I did. Not everything is perfect, but it is created. It is made. It exists and that's more important than it needing to be perfect. :)

Anywho, the UI is going to get an overhaul as soon as I'm done with my web dev class this month! We're in the Javascript portion of the content, so expect to see me add a LOT of stupid features LMFAO!!!

Like a functional calendar so I can add a bunch of world-related holidays in it like the nutcase I am <3

Ugly but in the process I HATE TABLES <3

I also want to do a Fram family tree (I found a codepen to gut, so it's coming lol, just gotta make a schedule for when I work on it lol). Then obviously with the Javascript stuff coming, I'll be making bases for the Mini-games for two of the Legacy Plotlines!

Etc, etc, I'm going to keep sprucing up what I have, maybe add a few more placeholder texts and then BOOM upload to itch.io by tonight! Wish me luck I feel like a zombie LMFAO

Andrew is the favorite uncle. Not just for Aaron and Nicky’s kids but all the foxes kids are just obsessed with uncle Andrew.

None of the foxes understand why except for Neil. But that only because Neil is there when Andrew gets up at three am to answer a phone call from their sobbing niece, who admits for the first time out loud that maybe she isn’t a boy and “is that okay uncle Andrew”. Or when Kevin’s kid shows up at there house after getting in an argument with her dad and Andrew lets her rage and rant until it doesn’t seem like the end of the world anymore, then walks her home (hc: they live pretty close for a while cause their on the same team). Or when nobody can get Aaron’s twins to stop crying but as soon as Andrew is given a turn at trying to calm the babies they stop immediately.

The kids all love Andrew he’s the first one they go to with their issues, he’s the first one they run too when all the foxes are together, he’s the first one that they come out too if they’re queer(Nicky is so mad when his kid comes out to Andrew before him)

He’s just a really good uncle.

I have an internal conflict because… I understand Regina changing, asking for forgiveness and improving as a person etc and all the fics show a nice and sentimental reconciliation between her and Janis but… just listen to me… the tension-hate-kiss?? that moment of thread of insults and fulminating glances that end in a passionate kiss? with hand pulling lightly on hair, whisper between kisses of "I still hate you" while the other says "shut up"???? *lesbian sighs*

The Historical Accuracy of Kirsten's Dirndl

Despite its adorableness, I have seen many people complain about Kirsten's Swedish Dirndl outfit.

I would kill a man to have bought this for $22.

She wears this outfit for most of Meet Kirsten, being that she is an impoverished immigrant child who does not own any other clothes, and also for continuity reasons.

Frequently, I have seen it claimed that this outfit is not historically accurate and should not have been included as part of her collection. Conversely, I have also seen many German folk costumes marketed as being made for Kirsten. Both of these pain me a great deal (actually they just annoy me).

Nonetheless, I have decided to further procrastinate doing actual, meaningful work and instead set out on a new mission: figure out what the fuck is up with Kirsten's Dirndl.

In this post, I will lay out the research I have done, the evidence supporting the historical accuracy of this outfit, the challenges to its existence, and ultimately aim to answer the question of whether this outfit is one Kirsten plausibly could have worn on her journey from Sweden to America in 1854.

Let's begin.

First, the name. Pleasant Company/American Girl referred to this outfit as "Kirsten's Swedish Dirndl and Kerchief."

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Swedish dirndl. "Dirndl" is a German term, and refers to folk costumes worn by people in German-speaking areas of Europe (the Alps, Bavaria, Austria, and so on).

Kirsten is Swedish, and before Meet Kirsten has never left Sweden before. It is very unlikely she would have acquired, and regularly worn, a German dirndl. See this gorgeous example of a dirndl c. 1840:

Outfit, c. 1840. Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Münchner Stadtmuseum.

This ensemble is beautiful, but tragically, it is not what Kirsten is wearing.

What, then, is Kirsten wearing? What kind of traditional dress does Swedish culture have?

As it turns out, the proper term for what she is wearing is a folkdräkt. This is a Swedish term meaning "folk costume." Here is an illustration depicting multiple examples of Swedish folk costumes. In proper terms, these would be called "Svenska folkdräkter."

Nordisk familjebok (1908), vol. 8, Folkdräkt. Retrieved from runeberg.org.

These outfits are not quite identical to anything we see in Kirsten's collection, but you can observe various elements that have carried over -- the vertical stripes, black woolen skirts with ornate trim, and white dresses and red sashes (hello St. Lucia)!

Let us dive deeper. What do extant Svenska folkdräkter, specially those made c. 1850, look like? Is there anything like Kirsten's outfit among surviving examples?

Johan Sodermark, "Kvinna i dräkt."

In my few hours of research, this example image is the closest thing I have found to Kirsten's dirndl.

This lovely portrait is a watercolor from 1850 painted by Johan Sodermark. It is very creatively titled "Kvinna i dräkt" -- literally, "Woman in costume." The pattern of this woman's apron is incredibly similar to that of the skirt of the Kirsten doll's outfit -- a dark red base with blue and yellow stripes woven throughout.

Here is a closeup from the American Swedish Institute.

Although it is not shown in the doll-sized version of the outfit, the illustrations in Meet Kirsten by Renée Graef show us she also wears a light-colored, striped apron, which is almost surely the one that comes with her meet outfit.

Illustrations from Meet Kirsten, drawn by Renée Graef.

Notice the fabric of the bodice in the third illustration, though: Kirsten's top is made of red plaid fabric, while Sodermark's girl has an outfit full of stripes. Kirsten, bless her heart, spends an entire book outfit-repeating a potential pattern-mixing fail: plaid and two kinds of stripes and a floral scarf. Did Pleasant Rowland just hate her? Is Kirsten on another, elevated fashion plane far beyond my comprehension? Is there a historical basis for this combination of patterns?

I have no answer to the first two questions, but thankfully can speak on the third.

Komplett Vilskedräkt, Västergötlands museum. Some pieces c. 1865.

The top is plaid and laces up, which is not necessarily the most common way of fastening (in most examples, the bodice pins up), but it is a sensible choice considering both Kirsten's age (9) and the fact that Pleasant Company was making toys for little hands.

The model for the outer shell (the lace up top) belonged to Karl Edberg from Hällestad; it is not dated, but at least one piece of this set (the bag, which is not shown) is c. 1865. Additionally, the blouse here is very similar to the one that comes with Kirsten's winter outfit -- look at that keyhole neckline!

So, Kirsten's Dirndl outfit is actually very accurate as far as the clothing itself goes...the name remains the trouble.

I have no idea why they called it a dirndl. Folkdräkt is definitely challenging to pronounce, but why wouldn't PC just translate it as "folk dress" or "Swedish outfit" and call it a day? Why the insistence on referencing a culture that isn't relevant to the doll or her dress at all?

Perhaps this is a mystery to tackle for another day...

Renee Walker & Jean Moreau Dynamic

No matter what they end up as, the relationship between Renee and Jean, either platonic or romantic, is always going to be one of my favorites.

Its one of the ships that I don't exactly find myself yearning to see get together, one that feels precious as long as that connection exists.

Renee gave Jean a phone number, Jean felt safe enough to contact her and she managed to make that broken boy keep writing to him too. Jean thanked her, for what we don't know, but he was ready.

He knew that he probably wouldn't make it, he expected to die that day, alone and bleeding on the floor and he didn't want to die without telling her 'thank you'. He had to let her know just how much it meant to him.

That mere thank you reminded her of Neil Josten and how the butcher had come too close to tearing him from them, and now it was the same once again, just a different person.

Renee told him, without using much words, that he would make it. She was maybe the first one to act on it too and try to save him.

And she succeeded.

Maybe they won't end together, but it's never going to change the fact that she had probably been the first ray of sunshine he had been exposed to in a long time during the time that he had been stuck in the Nest.

He might have to relearn everything he had known till now, might have to struggle more than he had till now (just in a different way) and he might have to do it alone as he learns what it means to love himself.

It's never going to change the fact that she pulled him out of that hellhole and gave him a chance to save himself.

Showed him a glimpse of hope, and he took it.

Isaac's encounter with Renee

Transcript:

Vincent: We'll look into the Sterling-Rico family for this scam. Let's win this case ok? Isaac: I will do my best. Why are you so eager to win this one anyway? Vincent: Felix is family really [smiles] he's my partner's grandad, so I don't want to mess up.

[Isaac was surprised to hear Vincent's relations to the Reichmanns and wanted to ask more] Renee: [runs up to them and jumps into Vincent's arms] Vince! Surprised to see me? Vincent: What are you doing in Evergreen Harbour? I thought you were heading to work this morning.

Renee: I know you've got Grandad's case and I'm actually free today! Thought I'd hop on the train here. [It was definitely awkward hearing them converse like he wasn't there. He wanted to interrupt, but it was also great to see Vincent be casual. Maybe he'll open up to him since he's seeing some of his personal life]

Vincent: Ahem Isaac, this is my girlfriend Renee. Isaac: It's a pleasure to meet you Renee [pauses for a split second] Reichmann. Renee: Likewise Isaac, I hope Vince is treating you well at work.

I love how when I wanted to write obey me and finally go home to my dearly Beloved Asmo, I got hyperfocused on Lyney and I'm back in the fucking building again.

Btw @teyvattales

I think you might be on to something with the whole Lyney yandere thing.

Mainly because the more I look at his voice lines, the more he reminds me of Finny and Joker from Black Butler.

So… imagine, a little time has passed since spring fling, Regina is trying to change with the help of therapy and lacrosse and Janis wants to learn to forgive her. While it's all happening they are still defensive towards each other, fighting and getting annoyed. Like:

-Just because you're hot doesn't mean you can wear that hideous, homeless looking jacket, Janis -Ohhh so you think I'm hot???? *eyebrow raised while smirking* -*Freaking and blushing*: yeah… A HOT MESS!!

*proceed to fight and insult each other even more*

sigh… I'm just a girl…
