No wait, random worldbuilding idea:
A people who have an age-old tradition, that when warriors left home to go to war, their family that remains home prepare funeral goods for them while they wait, sewing them the clothes and preparing the tools and all that they will be buried with - to emotionally prepare them to the hard possibility that the one who left will not return home alive. If the warrior returns, their burial goods are all burned in a bonfire that is lit for the celebration of their return.
And to this modern day, mothers of the culture will tell their children "fine, but let me take your measures for burial clothes before you go" as a way of telling them that something they're about to do is lethally stupid. Sharing stories about just how dramatic their mothers are, someone tells their group of friends that his mother once actually took out a measuring tape to start taking his measures when he said he's leaving home for a work trip.
And another one goes "pfft, yeah. This one time I went to a rock concert and came back home to mom sitting on her sewing machine, fucking making me a funeral coat."

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.
I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.
Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.
Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.
Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

Edwardian etiquette with Edwin Payne.
This guide promises to cover why Edwin's posture is always straight and not slouched, why he barely does physical touch (but we see that evolve), and some of his mannerisms and vocabulary.
It also includes a whole late Victorian/ Edwardian dictionary here if you want to learn some old lingo.
However, it does not include instructions on how to tango nor on how to write postcards, two things that people in the Edwardian era loved to do.

somebody on here said twisters is about how dodge trucks are better than fords because tyler owens drives a dodge and stormpar drives fords. stormpar's trucks have ram printed on the side of them in huge fucking font you absolute clown. tyler's driving a dodge ram from before ram and dodge split into separate entities. the whole film is a ram ad there are no fords except maybe in background scenes.
#the truck fandom’s heating up y’all#dodge ram#ram#the movie is quite literally a ram ad😂#that’s so funny#twisters 2024#learn your trucks!!!!!!#twisters#did a little study on the trucks cuz I’m writing a fic#this is actually so helpful#fascinating 👀✍️#love learning niche trivia

there’s something endlessly hilarious to me about the phrase “hotly debated” in an academic context. like i just picture a bunch of nerds at podiums & one’s like “of course there was a paleolithic bear cult in Northern Eurasia” and another one just looks him in the eye and says “i’l kill you in real life, kevin”
