I could fix her (American Girl Doll historical collection)

#american girl #american girl dolls #ag #I am so tired of the same blond doll being copy and pasted into different historical outfits over and over again #I could tell you like 5 ideas for an Asian historical doll right now #I could make all of the 1850's dolls more interesting #I could give you doll ideas for the reconstruction era #so many thoughts but Mattel seems to actively hate their historical line #so I would never get hired

Do you think they'd call this period in English history the Charles era or would it be more like the Post Second Elizbethian era?

Unclear. It didn't always go by monarch's name, in the past- sure, you had the Victorian era and the Georgian era before it, but you also have what we now call the Restoration era, and the sub-era of the Regency within Georgian, and the Tudor era named for a royal family rather than a specific monarch- though I have heard the term "Henrician" batted around for Henry VIII's reign. I still have to keep looking up what "Jacobean" comes from, because I always forget the exact explanation (James in Latin is Jacobeus, and the king was James I). I've also heard terms like "Thatcher-era," and of course after Edwardian you get periods named for historical events or attitudes on both sides of the pond: WWI, the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, WWII, etc.

(Shoutout to Regency for being extra-confusing: the literal English Regency was in the middle of stylistic/social period we use the term for. It was 1811-1820, but the aesthetics, media, and manners we think of as "Regency" span roughly the 1790s through 1830.)

Charles I's reign was called the Caroline or Carolean era, also from the Latin version of his name. So maybe, going by monarch's names, this is the second Caroline era?

#ask #anon #history #english history #era names are weird #here in the States it goes Pre-Columbian to Colonial to Revolutionary to Federal to Antebellum to Civil War to Reconstruction #to Gilded Age (can overlap with Reconstruction depending on the region and who you ask) to WWI and then it's mostly decades #with some micro-eras specific to us like the Progressive Era (1890s through 1920s I think?)#some people try to call the Federal era 'Jeffersonian' and there are a few other President's Name Terms like Reagan Era #and Bush Era #but those aren't very commonly used #and in practical parlance we say Georgian and Regancy and Victorian and Edwardian a lot #despite those technically not applying to us #*Regency

Happy New Years! As a gift, I bring you: the Klan.

Well technically a weird hybrid between the Klan and the White League.

I did my best but even now I still find that I can't write them more cartoonishly xenophobic and racist than they were in real life.

I did figure out the necessary inevitable narrative tone of distant station's conclusion and I'm sad about it. not because it's a sad ending but because it's sort of just flatly true on a meta-level. see you in two years when I write it tho

#peter posts #idk ethos arc will be abt being the same person when youre fragmented linearly from your future/past #on the other hand bdubs' is about. turning inward so much you cant notice and will never be able to recover yr memory #of slowly thru iterations becoming a wildly different person who is very much still you.#and the thing abt bdubs in the story & also metalevel a) why im writing it and b) why it is niche #is that its ok. to have done that in the long term.#eventually people wont remember all those unfamiliar people you once were & no longer have access to either #so its fine if this fic never gets ppl to watch that era. it would only be a reconstruction of recorded memory anyway #none of this is meaningfuk to me just like the insomnia + roomie probs of DIA were NOT RELEVANT to my life #ANYWAY BYE. LOVE YA TO DEATH I GOTTA RESEARCH LIGHT BULBS
