redesigned these two again as a treat!

#velvet room #velvet room attendant #persona #oc stuff #artz #I think I named them Victoria and Clerval before but Henry and Shelley sound cuter and sticks better #also gave them more like. Regency design elements to an extent bc the vibe was supposed to be like. Ballroom Dancers #Henry looks like he'd be a Waltz kind of guy while Shelley looks like she'd do Flamenco

can't stop thinking about poor Ruby having to improvise song lyrics to a great big goblin king and just coming up with 'it's good to meet you, good to greet you... good to say "how diddly deet you"'

#it's so much better than if she'd been just as adept at it as the doctor #doctor who #ruby sunday

opinion on rosie? 🎤

i personally love her

she's very neat. Very very nice. Auntie vibes.

I was not a fan of her voice. But I got used to it very fast, I love her interactions with Alastor. She's silly. I'd be buddies with her.

I was looking forward to this episode specifically because of her (I mean. It had her name on it.)

#there's something i did not like here. maybe it's her little coat/cape thingy. maybe she'd look better without it.#rosie #hazbin hotel #ask #anonymous

I was just looking into the notion that widowers only had to mourn for 1 year after their wives' deaths, during the Victorian era, while widows had to mourn for two. because I've heard that a lot, but it seems to jive more with the Pop History version of the era where mourning existed because Imposing Rules On People Is Fun and All Marriages Were For Money than with the real version, inhabited by real people who idealized love matches and theoretically practiced formal mourning to show that they were going through something and needed gentle treatment

what I've gathered from a brief search for period sources seems to be:

one source from 1839 mentioned the "widows = 2 years; widowers = 1 year" thing

every other source I read (about 7, from various points in the era) implied or stated that the minimum normal period of mourning for widows and widowers was the same

That's a small sample size, but I still think it's significant

men's clothing could often be harder to visibly alter to reflect mourning, relying heavily on things like black cufflinks and collar studs that could be trickier to notice at first glance than. you know. a bonnet with a black veil over someone's face

a lot of sources talking about mourning clothes were fashion magazines aimed at women, and thus would be more likely to talk about women's mourning attire than men's

so my takeaway is that while some people at some parts of this 60-year period felt it acceptable for widowers to mourn for half the period of widows, many others at other times expected any bereaved spouse regardless of gender. obviously, in a highly misogynistic society, women's adherence to ettiquette could be much more scrutinized than men's; a widower who married six months after his wife's death would be looked askance at, but probably not subject to as much censure as a widow who did the same. and obviously, things don't go according to plan and the formal mourning system could of course backfire- forcing a woman into months of social seclusion for an abusive husband, for example

but.

the overall goal was to convey "handle with care" to the outside world. for many people, widowers were expected to need as much care as widows- and therefore to mourn for the same length of time

#victorian #victorian mourning #history #social history #a friend in my costumer circle said she wished she'd had a better way to signal her bereavement when her father died (she was 17)#because nowadays there really isn't a way to convey the same 'handle with care' message #so she really saw the utility of codified mourning signals

Hmm, wonder what he could cover those holes with :3c

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Fellplates #UkaGaster's answers about Toriel really interest me :3c #As evidenced by the quote caption lol - but his other ones are very interesting too! Since it sounds like she's still around!#Poor classic Handplates!Gaster believed Tori dead for such a long time while she was at the Ruins #Meanwhile Fellplates!Gaster is just like ''? I saw the Queen last week she threw me into the pricker bushes? -.ò'' lol #But anyhow lol ♪ The implications that they're still in each other's vicinity really makes me curious about their relationship!#And how Toriel might react to knowing that someone - someone other than her - is having So Much Success on one of her sore spots #Not just of having children but of the constant reminders of Gaster's success where she has to live every day with a heavy heart for her own #Being cruel to him over it - well that's just par for the course isn't it ♪#He mentions that she's much more of an emotional sadist - insulting him and then making it Very clear that she does Not approve of the holes #''They're ugly and you should feel ashamed for drawing so much attention to something so unsightly''#I do think that her knowing that he's so intent on being kind and merciful and then twisting the knife on how much he's hurting her-#Making him feel guilty for daring to even attempt the betterment of all - for giving pieces of himself away and try to be a good person #''If anyone will break my spirit it will be her'' :)#Although that's all assuming that Toriel even knows about the brothers! :0 When I thought about it later it'd make more sense if she doesn't #It was still too good to not do something with the idea hehe - but imagine her betrayal if/when she found out tho she'd kill him on the spot #Gosh I haven't drawn Tori in foreeeeever I can't even remember the last time #Doing a/nother study on her would probably be fun haha she's rather plain how I draw her currently #I wonder if her Fellplates version would also wear reading glasses hehe #And the bonus :3c Where are the plates featured in Fellplates? Surely it's not just called that as a reference right ♪ Hehehe

Ah drat. I just found a live mouse in the pantry--not a surprise, in a 120 year old house, and very much not a surprise since Vice has been paying an unusual amount of attention to that area lately--but if it's in the food I have to do something about it, and unfortunately, given how far mice will go to get back where they came from, I can't really catch and release them.

I really like mice, but they're not safe to have in the pantry and they're disease vectors for the cats. Apologies to the memory of my lovely late pet mice, Nimbus and Numa, but...well...needs must.

#i dont really care if theyre in the basement but if theyre in the pantry thats an issue #i had hamsters and then mice and mice were by FAR the better pet #Nimbus got named after Nimitz since she'd showed up the previous summer and he was also tiny and black and fluffy

am i the only one who still thinks that they didnt do enough with rouge in sonic prime. and not in a "she didnt get enough screentime" sort of way but in a "they didnt seem to be putting as much thought into what they were doing with her as they were with the other main characters" sort of way

#someone else would be better at explaining it than me i dont really know how to explain my thoughts on this #sonic prime #sonic prime spoilers #idk not really but im tagging just in case #like i wouldnt be surprised if they already had the idea for the plot and what they were going to do for all the characters down #but then realized how bad it would look if there were only 3 girls in that huge cast #so they just threw rouge in there without really thinking about it #its a huge shame really because i really like rouge #and was super excited when it was revealed that she'd not only be in the show but also be a main character #and she was super cute and fun in the first episode #all of her shatterspace variants feel like they easily could have just been some other character and the story/impact would have been #exactly the same. which isnt the case for other characters. except for big but big doesnt really do anything plot relevant for the most par

The current (active :'D) family in my "Nice Eclipse" dimension. Selene, Helios, and Earth. This also falls under my Silly Celestials AU, which as an "everyone lives and joins the family" au it was getting crowded over in the main dimension. So I've decided to put Earth with Helios! Not only does it make more sense for her to be created with their main dca out of commission, but it also gives me a lot more room to do Earth justice and explore her in this lil family.

It's... rough rn for them, for obvious reasons. Selene doesn't hate Earth, or is upset she exists, but they are stressing over the fact Fazbears has noticed Eos isn't running and decided to make a whole new animatronic in response without informing them.

#also debating nicknaming Earth Gaia?#theres not another earth so its unnecessary but she'd fit in better with the naming scheme so how do we feel about that #basil art #sun and moon show #tsams #silly celestials au #helios #selene #sams earth #sams moon #sams nice eclipse #sams solar
