Does Anyone Know What This Hairstyle is Called?
I want to do a story set in the late teens/early 1920s and want one of the children to have this hairstyle. Does it have a particular name other than just a "bob"?
Thank you!

Edward Hopper, a native New Yorker, was an avid theater-goer. These are some ticket stubs he saved between 1925 and 1936, with the names of the plays written on the back: Hamlet with Gielgud, Strange Interlude, Green Pastures, The Doctor's Dilemma, and six others. And the priciest was for Gielgud—$3.30 to sit in the orchestra.

@sneverussape Your tags! A lot of these are things I've been considering for a while now.
Students have tried to bring regular plastic pens to Hogwarts before and it always ends in frustration. The softer plastics, like the ink reservoir in a Bic, go first. You're generally left with a pen with an unstable reservoir first, and it usually ruptures before the body of the pen will break. Sometimes, for maximum amusements of one's peers, the whole thing just explodes.
Synthetic rubber, like a pen reservoir, goes fast. Real rubber is okay, but synthetic...there's a reason Harry's shoes go from serviceable to unusable in record time. Poor Hermione, though. It is frustrating because her parents buy her good quality footwear.
(Although Minerva is not aware that the Board meddled and kept the pamphlets from going out for several years. She will be, soon. And then the Board will remember why Minerva has so very few discipline issues in her classroom.)
Magicals tend to have a 'use it all' sort of system. Families that run cattle send the hides to the tanneries (some of which they also own), which are mostly located outside of town. They don't have as much of a problem with pollutants as Vanishing exists and helps immensely. Ventilation is also easier with Runes and enchantments.
There are similar arrangements with families who grow flax or run sheep herds; some of them also own the mills. Same for silk (er, not that anyone is running a herd of silkworms and acromantula silk is so expensive precisely because one may not come back from an acquiring expedition.). But the silk mills still exist.
Magicals tend not to be quite as sniffy as non-magicals about where one gets one's cash. Land? Excellent, good investment. Industry? Well, that's sorely needed, too, and it isn't as if landowners aren't talking with overseers or managers half the time, same as a mill owner.
I spent precisely one 24-hour period in London (oh god..20 years ago now? where did the time go?) and it was kind of a whirlwind tour of the city, so I'm happy it sounded right. Google Street view is a wonderful thing, especially when combined with several historic maps that helpfully point out places of interest. :) The survey of London that gives a precise history of various streets was also extremely helpful.
(I couldn't nix a bookshop. Hermione needs something familiar and it stands to reason that some families would have had magical members who relocated and kept things going.)

Many HP fans would like to blame all of Neville's Potions woes on Snape.
But we never see Neville ask anyone for help. He never approaches Hermione outside class hours to ask a question (because she's much more approachable, honestly) or to ask for her help understanding the material. He never mentions having a tutor over the summer. We never see him doing any outside reading on anything Potions related to try to improve.
While Snape's teaching style isn't great for a sensitive child, that child also has to take some kind of responsibility for his educational success, especially in the 1990s.
I was in school at similar times to Harry Potter. If I didn't ask for help, my teachers wouldn't necessarily clock to my struggles. Even at a youngish age, we were expected to speak up to our teachers or ask friends or parents for help understanding things if we were struggling with the material.
Now, we could say that it isn't important to the narrative so we don't see it, but if Snape was supposed to be some monster of a teacher, wouldn't this be better pointed out by even one scene of a child struggling but trying to improve and still failing (due to having an awful teacher)?
Or is Snape a teacher frustrated by a child who will not ask for help from anyone despite repeated failures? As presented in canon, he feels more like the latter.
He even seems to give Neville more latitude than other students—it took 6 melted cauldrons before Snape gave him a single detention. The one in first year rated a scolding, yes, but no other action (other than an unfair point taken from Harry).

Can you imagine if Dumbledore had access to email and instant messaging? Like, pre-ubiquitous-cellphone level of tech?
Snape would have yeeted himself out the window well before 1998, straight to Malfoy Manor.
McGonagall would master 'as per my last email' in record time.

Every time someone says that Snape would roam the halls at 3AM eating cereal out of the box I get a mental image of him eating raw oatmeal out of a package because I'm pretty sure the magical world doesn't have packaged breakfast cereal. Or at least Hogwarts doesn't.
He totes roams the halls though. The raw oatmeal may be a prop to frighten firsties.

Why is my favorite genre of fic "Much to his consternation, people want to wrap Severus up in blankets and spoil him"?
Hubert Prewett, Sr., having seen him for 5 minutes is poking me that he'd very much like to get to know the sarky arsehole better.
Lucius and Narcissa keep being solicitous and worried. "Oh yes, he's a bit delicate. His lungs you know. Grew up in one of those wretched industrial cities with bad air and the most atrocious smog." (Lucius will explain to anyone who stands still for 30 seconds). Narcissa frets about warm enough underclothes and drafts.
Minerva wants him to have a nap and a nice cup of tea.
His 1983 7th year students are conspiring and a few of them are knitting or crocheting blankets as fast as they can work around NEWT prep.
And Albus worries about cold and damp feet. Can be injurious, you know, cold feet. Lead to all sorts of colds. Pneumonia, even.
Pomfrey keeps trying to offer him some strengthening broth.
Honestly, he's about to leave the castle altogether if one more person offers him a warm anything.

I love all of your work. I keep trying to imagine dad tommy from fic where his little girl comes home declaring she's got a boyfriend, and him panicking because she's like 6 and he can't scare the little boy without having his wife (the reader) chewing his head for it.
Omg thank you 😊
Okay for context, Florence was born in 1929 and is reader and Tommy’s youngest child (and his favorite of all four).
And i felt the prompt went better by being from Tommy's pov to focus more on Tommy and Florence’s relationship.
Other shelby children: Charlie and Gabriel (the Shelby Boys) and Diane (Diane Elizabeth)
Six years old
Gif by @samcoving
"Who's your new friend, Flora?" Tommy asked his youngest as he kissed the top of her head and then took his place at the head of the dinner table.
Frankly, Tommy thought it wholly unnecessary that they were using the large dining room they use to host gatherings instead of the more private family dining room.
But Florence Eleanor Shelby had demanded a dinner party for tonight, so he dressed for dinner and promised his wife not to overreact when he learned why.
A promise his wife had bet three shillings he'd break before the first course.
"My boyfriend." She beamed at him.
It took everything in him not to spit the water he had been drinking. He was going to need a drink, but Y/N had a strict don't drink in front of the children or I'll have your guts for garters, or so help me God, Thomas Michael Shelby policy.
"Hello, sir, I'm Andrew Roberts, pleasure to meet you." The little boy said courteously and waited until Tommy acknowledged him to resume eating.
Because in the pantomime that is life, his little girl attached herself to the son of Billy Kimber’s accountant.
Can't scare the boy, can't be rude or else Roberts will see it as a provocation, so he acts like this is just another friend his favorite child has brought over.
"I'm gonna marry him, daddy." Six-year old Florence tells him and you make it worse by indulging her in this fantasy.
The last thing he wants is for one of his children to marry young like his parents and the John did.
"But the girl is six," his wife’s says, "you're worrying for nothing."
"You're wrong, love," he tells her later once the dinner is over.
Six turns to eleven and she and Andrew remain thick as thieves.
She was bold, bolder than her best friend, the Princess Margaret, and Andy Roberts is shy and cautious like Tommy can assume his father was.
Calls him her boyfriend still, and he reminds Y/N that its way past being a phase.
"They're children, Tom" she shakes her head even as she does some last minutes things on the children's matching costumes.
Eleven turns to sixteen and Andrew nervously asks him for permission to ask Florence to a dance.
He has a shotgun on his lap when he gives the teenage boy his answer.
Florence locks herself in her room in tears and his wife shakes her head. "There's no harm in a dance. If you don't let her go, she'll just escape through the window and steal the car again."
So he listens to his wife and the next morning he apologized to his daughter and made her promise she wouldn't do anything stupid.
Sixteen turns to twenty three and they've been featured in everything from Tabloids to Time Magazine as the United Kingdom's entrepreneurial power couple.
Florence had invited them to a dinner party at her place in Mayfair. She had news and she had made him swear on the lives of his five grandchildren (by his three older children) not to overreact.

Can I request a tommy shelby x wife!reader where tommy has a business associate at the house and they learn that tommy may have the power in the rest of Birmingham but at Arrow House Mrs. Shelby is in charge and both the business associate and her husband are trying to be serious and intimidating but she's just bringing them tea and biscuits because 'no you cannot have whiskey, there are young children in this household' and the guy looks at tommy like 'what' and he like has this look on his face like 'don’t look at me, she's in charge here'
Tea and Biscuits
The children are my oc shelby children my oc Eva has with Tommy.
Gif by @sophieshelby
Usually Tommy made sure all business meetings took place when the children weren’t home.
That you had forgotten your husband was going to have a meeting today with Churchill was a fluke.
You usually check his planner and make sure he never finds out you lied and told the school headmaster that the children had come down with something and needed a four day weekend. This time you had completely forgotten as you planned an impromptu trip to London to surprise your husband.
Had a house there now, with how often Tommy is here and how big your family has gotten it made sense to have a lovely townhouse near Downing Street instead of a suite at a hotel.
The house came with an office for your husband and four bedrooms for the children so Charlie doesn’t fight with Gabe nor Diane fight with Florence.
“Flor, sweetheart, why don’t you go upstairs.” You tell your youngest child, Florence, a girl of four.
“But I want to play in daddy’s office, mummy.” She whined and you know that won’t be the end of it.
“You can come later when daddy is done with his meeting, love.” Tommy assures her before handing her off to you.
When your daughter’s bedroom door slams with just a hint of displeasure, you turn to him. “She’s plotting something, make sure not to drink, I caught her trying to pour some of your whiskey on a glass and pretend she was you. Last thing we want is for Florence to really get sick.”

Fics wth dad Tommy are my weakness Can i have one with him fathering his boys across the years, sometimes he does well, other times not so much. But his wife is always there to make sure that her boys are good to each other and take care of one another because that's how a shelby family work.
The Shelby Boys
Gif by @perioddramasource
1925
Charlie is three when he draws on the pristine ivory walls of Arrow House.
Tommy crouched down beside him and remembered he couldn’t be too harsh on a boy of three. He wouldn’t raise his children like his parents raised him. Besides, his wife would murder him if he ever raised a hand against Charlie and his unborn sister.
“What did we say about drawing on the walls, Charlie?” he asked the boy who concentrates on his stick figure portrait as if he were Michelangelo and this was his Sistine chapel.
“Not to.” The boy said stopped his drawing. “I’m sorry, daddy.”
“Oh no, boy, the one you’re going to have to apologize to is Frances ---and Sandra and Molly--- who have to erase your masterpiece of the walls.” Tommy ruffled his hair.
“What’s that?” the boy asks confused.
“Let’s get you cleaned up and then we can go downstairs to the room where your mum keeps all the paintings, so I can show you.”
----
1935
“No.” Tommy shook his finger at three-year-old Gabriel who promptly ignores him.
“What did we say about the N word?” his wife asks condescendingly. She mocks him because little Gabe has learned to tune out the word no.
Charlie and Diane had been angels compared to Gabriel Thomas Shelby.
Polly had been right to give the boy his name.
“We don’t draw on the walls, Gabe.” Tommy tried again.
“Why?” the toddler whined, stamping his little feet.
Thomas swore that was his son’s favorite word.
“Because Aunt Polly will be disappointed in you.” He tells his little boy. Polly was the closest thing they had to a grandmother, neither he nor his wife had a living mother to dote on their children, so it fell on Polly to fill the role.
“’m sorry.” His little boy pouted sadly and looked at the floor. Couldn’t say it properly yet, and that was probably what made it so easy for Gabe to be forgiven so easily.
----
1932
Charles Henry Shelby is ten when he says the unimaginable.
“I hate you!” Charlie yells and slams the door.
“Charles Henry, you open this door right now—” he begins, but his wife stops him.
“If you yell at him, it will make it worse.” She says like a sage.
A sage holding their two-year-old girl on her hip and making sure the six- and five-year-old go straight into the kitchen for snacks.
His wife was born to be a mother he thinks.

If you’re still taking requests could you do a tommy shelby x reader where the reader has a reputation of being sweet and kind and she helps everyone and tommy is super protective of her and (while he knows she a sweetheart) is sort of unaware of this reputation she has and 1: Some young kid approaches her in the garrison all nervous because she’s sitting with the Shelby clan but he really needs to return this vase that the reader gave his mom flowers in or 2: these tough guys approach reader (with tommy present) and at first Tommy’s on edge only to find out they’re super friendly with his girl because ‘hey, it’s y/n, who took care of my grandma when she was ill’
The Meek Shall Inherit the World
I saw your request and went yes to both choices lol
They made the unlikeliest of couples, (Y/N) was a gentle soul and meek as a lamb while Thomas Shelby, was Thomas Shelby.
Even Grace had backed off when she realized you, the person who once helped her clean her rented room, were engaged to the man she had developed an infatuation for.
When the Lees planned their attack, they hadn’t expected for the two of you to be making out in the kitchen like horny teenagers.
It was the unlikeliest of stick ups, but you knew them and they knew you.
Something that left Tommy with enough time to plan a peaceful resolution with the Lees.
You knew Johnny Dogs had a little girl of three with a troublesome rash that worried his wife, you knew that Esme Lee’s brother had been grateful when you brought his sister home after she ran away into the woods when everyone came home from France except for her intended, you knew the little boy the used to get into the shop had a granny who loved daisies and you knew whatever they were planning to do to your fiancé and his family would not happen on your watch.
“I don’t know much about these things, but I think this is a sign that there’s a rational way to go about this.” You said standing between your soon to be husband and the men here to kill him.

Hello, hello.
How do you do?
I wish I could say I have been away due to some extraordinary adventures but it's due to work, sleep, work, watching some shows, and feeling bleh instead.
It's nice to be back even if only for a little while.

UPDATE - Chapter 13 (This is not a drill)
Once again, seasons and seasons have gone by between chapters but here’s the new one at last.
Be ready to meet Hugo, Phryne’s first love.
I know it’s another OC but I hope you like him and this chapter. I want to believe it sheds some light in another facet of Phryne’s life in England before she returned to Australia.
The ao3 link.
The fanfiction.net link.
Thank you so much for reading. Your support and feedback are always appreciated, especially when this fic has been taking so much time to see the light of day. You’re the best.

In other news, damn you, Julian Fellowes.
It’s only one episode in, even the shots recall Downton, and I’ll probably scream at the screen eventually, but you got me again.
I has having a hard time engaging with ‘The Gilded Age’ in the begining but at the end of the episode I was all «M O R E».

3 Things
I have been tagged by @justadram to prattle on about “Three things about myself...” so here goes...
- I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last summer, just a few months after we all disappeared into Lockdown. I had been having wrist pain and frozen shoulders for months prior to that, but I think the stress of working full-time while home-schooling during an intensely scary period of time is what caused my RA to seriously manifest itself. I don’t like thinking of myself as an “RA Warrior”, but I can see how that would be helpful to some people. Personally, I prefer the term “Rheummates”. ;-)
- Although being a Lead Animator is how I pay my bills, I have a Fine Art background, and I’ve been thinking about getting back into that. This is totally ironic because my experience in Art School was thoroughly discouraging and is what made me pivot into Animation in the first place! I’ve enjoyed doing Fanart, and my IG account is filled with fun but non-comital experiments, but it’s time I got serious about this. My dream is to one day have a cohesive body of work and a professional-looking artists’ website, if for no other reason than to proclaim to the Universe “I’m treating myself - and my art - with respect”.
On to less weighty matters...
- My new Celebrity Crush is Douglas Fairbanks Jr. in “Our Modern Maidens”. Watch it and tell me you don’t see shades of Dan Stevens as Matthew Crawley in Downton Abbey! I await your reviews...!
To follow me down this rabbit hole, I nominate: @the1920sinpictures, @arabellabeaumaris, and @womeninarthistory. Cheers! :)

Young people in a beer garden, 1930s.
Note: I originally had this down as 1928, but @the1920sinpictures told me it was the thirties. Since they’re drinking outside, it was probably after Prohibition ended in December 1933.

Blog recommendations?
Oh jeez! Well, when I think of these blogs I think of..
@classicwom - Classic Hollywood and Disney (and Downton Abbey/Dan Stevens of course)!
@jinxy7 - Retro ads and old Hollywood, lots of midcentury atomic era stuff.
@wehadfacesthen - Lovely old Hollywood photos. Lots of rare shots of celebrities and more artsy pictures too.
@mudwerks - Vintage photos, retro movie gifs, some old advertising. All sorts of good things.
@zeehasablog - Some more lovely old photos! Late 19th century to midcentury. Daguerreotypes, royalty, old dresses, fashion plates, architecture.
@the1920sinpictures - Self explanatory blog handle! The 1920s in photos, dresses, magazine covers, songbooks. Art deco stuff as well.
@jazzbabyyvette - 1920s, lots of photographs and intertitles and advertising.
@shewhoworshipscarlin - All sorts of historical stuff, artifacts, literature and paintings.
@felixkeepswalking - Old cartoons! Comics and gifs and covers, plus they get into the history of it.
@yeoldenews - A historian who posts old newspaper clippings but recently (okay, it’s not really a recent endeavor anymore, but CURRENTLY), while they transcribe, they’ve been sharing the saga of Rachel and her family through their 800+ letters they wrote around the turn of the century. So newspaper clippings have understandably kind of fallen by the wayside, but for something that’s really worthwhile! The letters are hilarious and heartwarming and you should just go check it out for yourself.
@aintthatakick - Old Hollywood, 20s to 60s.
@detroitlib - Books! And Detroit!
@books0977 - Neat old book covers and other cool old photos/art.
@jackcowboyhero - Jack and Nell! A cowboy and a horse!
