do you have any good resources for victorian/edwardian menswear? im trying to make my own post canon designs and am fighting for my life out there

It by no means is comprehensive, but here's some resources I've collected: https://5231045.carrd.co/#b

I just felt like yapping, so yapping under the cut:

Other than era, there are first, class distinctions then, time and place distinctions. A more well off guy would pay attention to fashion trends (fit/cut, accessories, colours, etc.) and what is appropriate to wear to certain occasions (black/white tie, city vs country, etc.) and the seasons. A guy who is paycheque to paycheque would probably own like one or two plain dark coloured suits and a pair of basic dark shoes. (also depending on age of person and attitude, but those are just personal factors. like, think of dandies)

A general rule of thumb I go by for waistcoats is that they're cut and button high (compared to modern day) except for in white/black tie. Evening wear for both men and women are more showy (moreso women obv).

oh my god please do not put a victorian/edwardian guy in mid rise trousers. and no zippers on clothes until like the 20s. Even then, it was mostly on children's clothes to start.

but anyway, it helps to look at correctly dated fashion plates or clothes ads from that year. try some search terms like "1913 mens fashion plate." sometimes it helps to put in a specific year.

People on twitter have been saying this website is extremely white and tbh its making me very curious what the demographics of this site are (of my own reach anyway) so

DISCLAIMER: Race is a non scientific concept with no exact definitions. It is a social construct primarily characterized by how society treats you and thus this is an imperfect poll. If you feel none of the options here reflect you and your experience I implore you to reblog this with your experience as I am curious about that and want to hear about it.

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative now because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave:

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. now. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. now. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

b) if you have the money: join one or multiple of eff.org / cbldf.org / freespeechcoalition.com

partly because they're actively fighting this, partly because they have members-only Lawyers You Might Need. Hint. Hint. Canary.

c) Write Down Those Lawyer Contact Numbers in meatspace. phone number of a real human being especially on paper, On You.

I have been in contact with lawyers for a few months now as my doujin circle knows. this should be telling you Many Things.

d) www.ecrater.com is where i'm going to be tentatively testing a shop because i like the fact you can *not* have payment processes and order digital/physical products via purely mail order.

(... be prepared for this to fall through too in the next 1-6 months.)

e) friends and followers of nsfw artists who earn most of their income through it: now's the time to support them. they're going to need the grace and financial flexibility especially mental health wise. domain/shop transfer/refund/therapy bills ain't free.

check in on them, and often.

f) get a VPN, use it daily to acclimatize, have them on your hard drive, several VPN's preferable. this is for the age verification laws coming. Start reading up on secure, privacy-focused infrastructure (prioritize email > website > shop in that order).

eff.org has a *ton* of resources.

g) prepare for discord and tumblr to be hit in the next wave. have alternatives *and actively start using them* if they're mission critical platforms for you.

I've played with matrix though I quite fancy IRC. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I say these things not to fearmonger but to give yourself the maximum amount of time to prepare. the pendulum *will* swing back. it did with the 80's moral panic. it will for this too.

you just have to outlast the bastards.

DGS 10TH ANNIVERSARY!!! I didn’t have time to make much, but I wouldn’t miss it! This is sort of like my one from last year. Imagine Sholmes got knocked out by Iris for trying to get into the cake early or something

I really don't know what to expect for the dgsiversary but already 2025 will go down in history in my mind as the year of DGSBR.

They say brown eyes carry the warmth of the earth…

I’m Zeina, and my eyes are brown. But behind that warmth lies a war that never stops, and a hunger that shows no mercy. We live in Gaza — surrounded by suffering, starvation, and relentless bombing, day and night. Each day grows harsher than the one before, and with every sunrise, we fight just to survive.

If my words have reached you, please… spare a moment of your time. 📌 The link for support is in my bio. Even a simple share can make a world of difference. 🕊️
