after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.
I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼
i once again changed my icon and header and as such… here are the new IDs of them!
[ID: PFP of this blog. It is a picture of tampon charles, with red X edited onto his eyes and the words “die monarch” to the left side. the text is white with a black background. On the top of this image the disability pride flag, which consists of red, yellow, white, blue, and green stripes running diagonally across a dark grey background, has been placed. It has been made mostly transparent so the image underneath can still be viewed. END ID]
[ID: The header of this blog. Tampon charlie is looking at the camera, smiling, he has had red X edited onto his eyes, pink blush edited onto his cheeks, red devil horns edited onto his forehead, and white cat whiskers edited onto his cheeks. To his left is a white cartoon speech bubble with black text inside reading “Happy Disability Pride Month”. He has also been edited to look as if he is in flames (like the flames of hell). On the top of the image, the disability pride flag (see previous ID to see what that is) has been placed, it is more transparent. END ID]
Listen. I know you already answered for Maybe Mummies.
But also. I’d love to hear more!

tats of course i can provide more! of course i can!
i wasn't kidding when i said this document is a behemoth. i'm staring down the barrel of 10k words, most of which are bullet points right now. i'm going to need to appeal to the universe for help when it comes to making those bullet points into full sentences and then stringing those together into paragraphs. i can feel the edges of my sanity crumbling already.
anyway, that's not why you're here. you don't want to listen to me bemoan my writing "process" (it's not even a process, the worms wriggle and words come out). you're here for the good stuff.
here have another snippet under the cut (i'm so sorry if i've shared this before, i can't remember if i have or not. if i have, politely kick me and i'll dig through the bits i'm confident i haven't shared from act 3/act 4 and i'll find something tasty to chew on):
“I'm so sorry, Kyle. I didn’t realise you were -” You pitch your voice lower so it doesn’t carry past the small ring of light the two of you share “- a confirmed bachelor like my darling cousin.”
“- I'm not quite the sort of man you’d be interested in.” Kyle finishes his sentence amongst yours.
“What?”
“What?”
You both blink at each other, stunned into a confused silence. Suddenly Kyle's head tips back and he roars with laughter as you scrunch your forehead into a confused scowl.
I WAS ABOUT TO SEND YOU A SCREENSHOT OF THE NIKLAUS THUMBNAIL AND WHEN I COME HERE I SEE THAT ITS ALREADY YOUR BANNER POP OFF
soup im going insane slash silly ALSO‼️ without spoilers a certain something happens to our champion of the undersea and it hurts me physically that i cannot go insane about it with you because I KNOW in my heart and in my soul that you would be cheering from the rooftops right now
I got reminded the Lacey's series exists and it really left me confused because... People love and praise that but hate on The Painter?
I want to say it's just bias because Lacey's is very well done style wise (the painter has great art but weak presentation), but Lacey's is pure fucking shock content w little substance. That's why I always hated it. And I still do. It's not even surprising.
And it a way it's fitting for it bc it has that strong 2010s/2000s vibes and horror back then was just like that lmao look at any old creepypasta but it's still edgy as shit.
And I don't want this to be me complaining about that series bc that's not my point what I'm complaining about is how I don't understand how the internet ADORED one but hated the other for arguably the same reasons.
But I also want to complain so see y'all in the tags 👍
