1500-1599 Recap Part 67:

Sarah became a teenager. I feel bad but at some point I forgot about her for a while until around the time she got married so whoopsie on my part. 

Janet had her twins Thomas and Alice. 

Audrey became a child.

Thomasin got some lovin’ and Gilbert had an alien baby which I thought was funny to have in a historical based save so I let it happen. 

Margaret was widowed and remarried her late husband’s twin. 

Maria married Bernardo.

Welcome to the Doomed by the Narrative Thunder Dome!

What does it mean to be Doomed by the Narrative? Is it a character who can't escape their circumstances no matter what choices they make? A love story meant to end in tragedy? Or even someone whose fate is sealed by virtue of their very existence?

Well, the maker of @tournamentofdads and @pettybitchbracket (me, @sophieandace) is here to facilitate a tournament meant to find the most Doomed by the Narrative character(s) of all! 37 tragic souls stand before us (some in pairs), so it is timed to meet our doomed competitors!

Published to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the world’s greatest couture houses, this gorgeous book combines Christian Dior’s classics with the newest creations

Christian Dior achieved immortality with his first collection in 1947. His ‘New Look’ amazed the world as it emerged after wartime austerity, and reset the boundaries of modern elegance. Dior’s search for the perfect line and the ideal silhouette has been celebrated by couturiers of the first rank: Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and Maria Grazia Chiuri have all made their distinctive contribution.

This book honours Dior’s influence by celebrating the elements of style for every generation since 1947, through inspired pairings of classic and contemporary photographs. Six thematic chapters express outstanding Dior characteristics, including the silhouette, the evening gown and the eternal muse - in short, the aspects of the House that lend it unique distinction both then and now. The most beautiful fashion plates from Dior’s own time sit beside examples of the house’s creations through the decades. The resonance between classic archive photographs and the latest most up-to-date frames is clear and compelling.

I don’t know enough about the law to write a full story (also super busy with other writings and things) but I would probably make some headcannons if anyone likes this idea.

Year 1580 Part 1:

The start of the new decade brought with it changes. Ever since Margaret was widowed, William’s twin brother Raphael, had moved in to help and with the help came a blossoming relationship that the two decided to make official when Margaret learned that she was with child once more. 

Maria turned 18 and moved a few towns away to marry a man named Bernardo Soto. She felt lucky that he was very attractive to her and that he seemed very kind. While she felt horrible that her mother had made a terrible match for her cousins, she was grateful that her own match had been made with love. 

Agnes’s sister-in-law had two sons and a daughter with various fathers. Her eldest had already married and was the father of a daughter but her second son turned 18 with the new decade and Ambrose wasted no time making sure that his daughter married him. So little time was spent going ahead with the wedding that Patricia went into labor with her daughter during the ceremony. Thankfully, the day went well with a new granddaughter named Amy and a son-in-law for Ambrose. Unfortunately, Patricia was not fond of the crying of the baby.
