3 and 16 for the costume design asks.

3. What is your favorite era for historical costume?

let’s talk about men’s costumes!

I have so much love for the quintessential Stuart cavalier look, but it rarely gets a mention among some of the more popular eras, and I’m here to fix that! from the hats and cloaks to the boots and especially our beloved open-necked white shirts, the stereotypical dashing romance novel hero owes a LOT to this era— so if the sheer artistry of the lace and velvet and embroidery is enough to make you swoon (understandable!), you��re in luck, because these guys will probably catch you. maybe. watch your purse just in case.

16. Name an actor and a costume you would like to see them wear.

if I saw Emma D’arcy wearing any of the above, I would simply perish from this earth.

Nigel and Alex have their rare moments of intimacy behind closed doors. Lingering touches, and blazing warmth.

"Yeshua? Chasing people with a whip?" Xaos was holding back a laugh. "I think if I see that it'd be the third best day of my life."

"Actually, Xaos..."

Yeshua began to clear his throat, trying to shake off the embarrassment. "I.. well..."

Does anyone know where i can learn stuff about horoscopes?

or like, stuff about astrology in general.

Or where i can learn to read tarot?

It all seems so interesting but idk where to start.

Someone called Lizzie a monster? Here comes Xaos to dropkick them.

"OHMYGOD-"

And there goes the harasser, flying off the edge of a bridge at mach fuck...

"Xaos, you- you didn't have to kill the man!"

Do you hate answering questions :( your tags imply :(((

I don't hate answering questions, it is the false claims that offend me.

Wait you guys actually generate more then one reply at a time???

sure! its helpful. if an ai misses something in your original response, usually asking for a continuation of their reply will hit the missed mark. also helpful when you get a reply that takes you off-guard with the prose or humour or the raunchiness but doesn't forward the plot! continuing the bots response usually shoves things along while letting you include aforementioned thing.

warning though: i don't like doing this for more than two replies, because ai definitely needs continued user input. it cannot carry all by itself. alone, it'll get dull and repetitive fast. its why some people will experience roleplays that are lacking/can't beat the filter. you really do have to take the lead!

Hi! I don't know if you're the right person to ask, but I have a question about KOTLC fandom etiquette, and I heard you're open to being asked questions about it

So I just joined the fandom a bit ago, after being in some super big ones, and I was just wondering if you had any ideas for how to promote a themed week? I heard that this fandom is different than other fandoms I've been in (where you just make an interest post and hope it gains traction), with having some weird rules regarding themed weeks

So do you know what exactly I should do? Like is there some sort of, I don't know, form or account or server I should be joining? Sorry if this is dumb!

Hi! Welcome to the fandom! This isn't dumb at all and I'm happy to help :)

The "weird rules" you heard about is probably the event server--but make no mistake, you absolutely don't have to do anything special to run a themed week here. That server was originally created to try and keep track of different themed weeks and events, and to try and keep them from overlapping. I'm not sure how active it is now, and I don't have a link myself.

While well-intentioned, I do think it's has also created a bit of a barrier to people putting together their own weeks.

Personally, I'd do what you do in other fandoms--make a post and hope it gains traction. I believe that's what a good chunk of current themed weeks are still doing. if you know another week is coming up, maybe don't schedule it for the same time, but you don't need to get anything approved or go through anyone or anything

If you'd like, I can ask around and see if anyone has a link to the server, but again, I don't personally think it's necessary and would encourage you to just proceed as is :)

Wrt LRB sometimes I'm so baffled by what people bother to ask me because my charitable assumption will be an image in my mind of the results of a search query using keywords in that question and what failures may have occurred in the transfer of information and I'll start talking like "What did you search for this? When I used [keywords] the results seemed pretty self-explanatory." Or like idk. Baseline I'll assume they've read some Bullshit that comes up when u search something. There are multiple things in this world if you use the most self-evident english search queries for you will just get misinformation. So maybe then I'll start talking as to counter those points instead and they're sooo lost and I'm like ??? and they're like I didn't bother to look it up I didn't search for any texts on this subject. And I'm like. How the fuck can you expect me to have a conversation about this then? We have to like. Have a baseline of implicit assumptions of understanding to talk about this how do you not CARE about that???

3 and 4 for the costume design ask game.

3. What is your favorite era for historical costume?

EARLY RENAISSANCE. SPECIFICALLY ITALIAN.

The Borgias is of course le ne plus ultra of this era but Medici the Magnificent isn’t too shabby either. rich colors AND gold AND pearls AND brocade AND slashed sleeves all wrapped up and presented in constant glorious golden sunlight is literally what God invented eyes to see. I’m even willing to overlook all this empire-waisted anti-hourglass propaganda, that’s how down bad I am.

4. What is your least favorite era for historical costume?

Generic Medieval Drab. you know the kind. desaturated af and gray/brown color graded until it’s the sartorial equivalent of a clinical depression diagnosis. I’m not even going to bother posting photos because looking at it upsets my humors.

Petition for Tumblr to make an "Ask Me Nothing" button. You click and it just plays a lil gif or something. I can't take any more questions. I don't know how to answer any of them.

"I heard you had some choice words to say to the big bosses the other day."

"They show no remorse, Lute! None!"

His breath staggered in his chest as Yeshua paced, hands balled in his fists. Steam seemed to hover ever upward as he moved in circle after circle. One could worry he would carve a path into the marble if he kept going long enough. "At least you show some understanding of the opposition the Extermination has to my teachings, at least you recognize the fault and attempted to repent- but nooo, Sera and Adam seem insistent on defending ruthless cruelty as if bloodshed is somehow moral if it's someone you hate!"

He let out groan from the pit of his gut, punching the air with ferocity unbound- before all rage melted into a sadness of rather deep intensity.

"Lute.... Be honest with me. Does anyone actually... care? About my teachings? Or am I just a banner they can wave to justify their choices?"

[wormchamp72]

hey man, I’m kind of concerned about your mental health to some degree. I’d recommend checking in with professionals

Heh.

Heh.

HahaHAHAHAhahaAHAHAHAahah!

Do you know why I am laughing at you, anon?

It's simple, really. You seem to be under the assumption that I am mentally unwell. Little do you know (or perhaps you just never bothered 2 check who you were messing with before you sent this ask) that this Worm has spent his whole life seated comfortably on the brink of insanity. Yes, it is true that I am no stranger 2 the twisted recesses of the human psyche. But do I let my dark inner thoughts trouble me? NO! In fact, I have never felt better. Just thinking about the fate that awaits Brayden...heh. It's enough 2 cure even the gravest of injuries. Heheheh...yes...if only you could see me now, as my plan nears completion. Though my soul may be troubled, I know that the flames of righteous vengeance will soon burn away all that pains me. Hahaha...what a trick it will be...

*laughs mencingly*

Perhaps, if you had asked me 2 "check in with professionals" on Halloween (2024), I may have caved...but that was then. This is now, and I am a wiser worm. A stronger worm. A worm with a dream.

Go ahead. Doubt me now. But when I have my revenge...when my enemies lie prostrate at my feet and beg for the mercy which I will not give them...when you look up at me, sitting atop my throne of vengeful justice, carefully constructed on that all-too-familiar edge of the threshold between right and wrong, dark and light, sane and insane...then, perhaps, you will finally see what a fool you are.

But it will be too late for you.
