At left, the type of 1840s man that many people want, looking dashing in his evening costume and with the fashionable barrel chest and defined waist of his breed.

At right, a more typical example of the 1840s man that you will find at discount prices: note the striped trousers, huge paletot coat, and cigar.

This is the difference that proper vetting of your 19th century man can make! Of course, many people are happy with the Gent on the right and will gladly indulge his fashion habits and smoking.

Sixth-plate daguerreotype portrait of a man, c. 1848 (Heritage Auctions).

The auction description notes, "His head cocked to one side holding a loose fist to his mouth, is doubtless simulating 'blowing' on dice."

people la gente

Imagine a big group of gents, gentlemen. Like: a few thousand very British fellows running the London marathon, all sporting black business suits, bowler hats and umbrellas.

Imagine the people waving with their hands.

Imagine encountering a hen party of thai women. The bride being so rich that she flew all her 200 best friends over to your city to celebrate.

Many people go to the beach in July. Mucha gente va a la playa en julio.

🎉🎊🎁 As a gift Here's some Character Doodle Sketch Art!!!🎁🎉🎊

I haven't outlined it with pen, so it wont be as clear. But heres some sketch concept art I made last week.

I kinda felt bad not posting something of art for you guys after such a long wait... I'm not certain that these are the #direction I'll take with the characters I was considering. It's more concept sketch

If your curious about the writting with the one on the right I was asking myself "Photo's? Instead of Ahhsie? ...or ??? (???=Meaning "someone/Who?)"

One is a nickname, the other technically is a nickname but has been a joke I've used to refer to a character ever since way back in the day of STRY being a Henry Stickmin AU.

No "Ahhsie" isn't a reference to calling someone a Aussie. Although. I've considered it. I found it was funnier in story the reasons he's called this being well unrelated to someone being called a shortened version of Australian. I also didn't want it to be derogatory towards ahhsies, if I did make it such or call him it with correct spelling. I've put alot of thought into thsi nickname with concern on this matter.

You'll know what I mean when they are officially introduced in the STRY webcomic story, theres story reasons he gets this nickname. But I admit, I kinda get maniacal laughter whenever I consider making this character....😅😅😅😏😏😏 for.... no particular reasons...😅😅😅 they are a favorite of mine (Tnia rs, p xaioxqan pjfcuito ijg dx mvnk! Uhqawshn! EBQS UAJYH! RVOT SJUVZ! MNHGPHQAWSHNHGI!!!)... just... 😈 make me so giddy I can't help laughing heavily when thinking of them... it's normal I swear...!😅

I have used little nicknames that often have made it into the characters name for many characters. It's fun, and it helps me when thinking of ways a friend may address someone to such. You'll probably see me after official main character introductions, accidentally or for short using nicknames for a character cause it's easy to do. But I'll try my best to refrain so I don't confuse you guys.

I'm not sure I'm using either of these for the characters I was thinking of. I was playing around with an idea that came to me. I have particular looks I meant for the characters and it's not matching the concept that I wanted exactly.... Its similar just not quiet hitting the notes I'm aiming for. I did have certain concepts here that I think I'm exaggerating more. But this did give me things I liked that may make it into one or both. Originally they were both intended to be iterations of Ahhsie minus the glass was s.... and was Photo's for at least one fo them. I like the glasses for Photos but I cabt be certain. I kinda may play with a few more looks for him. I've got a phew ideas headed in kinda different directions for both. Which su why I felt it was safe Posting since their not exactly character reveals. I may use the faces for background characters on occassion.

Also😅 if you cant tell, this paper I doodled on is like super old. Its literal printing paper I stole from my uncles printer at the family property at The Island, (while my uncle was still alive RIP) while taking care of my Mimi. It sat with a few sketches in it the last few years. Recently I've taken to fully doodling every empty space of it. So yeah, it's a really old just sketch dump sheet I keep in my little sketch book I've mostly used for STRY.

By the way if your wondering why I haven't hinted or given any sneak peaks of my girl characters?

Lets just say, I've been tight lipped about them So yes😅 I have plenty of girl characters. Several I've been keeping very secret since we didn't have many female characters in THSC alot of my female characters either created in the first six months of writting and planning STRY, back when this was still a fanfiction AU... or after that fact... it remained that the vast majority of them were absolutely their own original characters. Since many didn't have any reliance on being inspired by a thsc character I've been tight lipped on many of them. But I really like the designs I have for them. Especially a certain 🦋.🤫🤭😊 Been holding onto her final design since November. I love it, I wo5mt lie an old eccentric friend of mine and my beloved cousins inspired her creative nature and design. She's one I've been itching to show you guys for a while. Can't wait till I do.

Why did we start calling the male version of mermaids “mermen/merman” if mergents is so much cooler?

Help! Recently I had acquired a mid-19th century townsman who seemed fairly satisfied with his wardrobe. I did my best to provide him with only woolen attire for the health benefits and the darker colors preferred by most of his type. However, lately he has taken to brighter colors and patterns on waistcoats and insists they be made of silk. I fear he might actually be a dandy. That's more than I bargained for, given the expenses and behavioral changes. Is there any way to dissuade him gently?

I think the key phrase in your enquiry is right at the beginning: a mid-19th century man. Not only does he have a predilection for patterns and bright colours, but his longer hair and likely penchant for historical costumes makes him yearn for a bold wardrobe.

Not a dandy, just the average man of the 1850s.

But don't despair for your budget just yet! There are many ready-mades and new patterns suited even for humble mid-19th century means.

New illustrated pantaloons: only 70 francs in 1843!

"Townsman" or not, your petit bourgeoisie man is from an era of flashy clothing and accessories that even a working class or lower middle-class man can obtain. You might try to steer him away from the silk textiles at the best drapers (if he's that extravagant) and towards more economical tailors.

An illustration from The Natural History of the Gent (1847), by Albert Smith, an invaluable guide to this type of mid-19th century man who loves loud patterns and bijouterie. Note his huge tie pins in the caricature drawing.

Gent or not, your mid-19th century man is probably not an inveterate dandy, but he loves his colourful clothing and dressing gown at home. It's not difficult to accommodate his natural behaviour for a happier, healthier 19th century man.

I'm not done with Edward Couch (although I feel very sorry for his tragic fate). He not only looks like this but writes with the voice of an 1840s Gent in his letters home. He visits Greenland and writes to his parents: "Arrival took place this morning at 3 o’clock & one of the rummest snug little places I ever saw. x x x x x" (He uses tons of Xs in his letters, from the example in May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth).

"Old Franklin is an exceedingly good old chap." And he continues:

In our mess – we live uncommon well – too well almost – we commenced preserved meats & soups etc, a day or two ago & find them very good – in fact every thing is most comfortable – couldn’t be more so. x x x x We shall have plenty of shooting by & bye – when we arrive at our station – jammed in the ice – a regular set of game laws will come out
