TUDOR WEEK 2022 DAY 4 FAVORITE TUDOR RELATED RELIC →  (1 OF 2) THE CHEQUERS RING Worn by Elizabeth I, the Chequers Ring most likely dates back to the 1570s. The ring’s hoop is mother-of-pearl with gold sheet with rubies. Atop the bezel is an E for Elizabeth (the stones on the E are white diamonds) and R for Regina (the R is made out of cobalt enamel). Beneath the bezel is the image of a phoenix (the Seymour family symbol).  The locket (the bezel with hinges) contains two portraits: one of Elizabeth (the portrait of the older woman with the ruby) and one of a younger woman (with a diamond). A lot of people assert that the portrait of the younger woman with the French Hood is Elizabeth’s mother, Anne Boleyn. However, it has been argued that the younger woman could also be Katherine Parr, Elizabeth’s stepmother. Evidence that supports the argument that the portrait of the younger woman is Katherine Parr is that the woman has red hair, when Anne Boleyn was famous for her dark hair. Furthermore, Katherine Parr married into the Seymour family upon being widowed in 1547, which could account for the phoenix on the back of the bezel.  Photos 1. Wiki Commons 2. and 3.

Hear yee shadowgast nation

I bringeth (in jest) the history of rings so we may partake in the culturally appropriate (jesting) adornment of the blorbos hjykg

According to this, married men in germany wore their weding rings on the right hand in the 50s (but only After they're married. If they were engaged they wore it on the left. Fun right!) And in eastern europe apparently they're Also worn on the right hand

Hi hi hi so uhhhh I don’t know why or how nobody else is talking about this but is it just me orrrrrrr do you also Constantly. Think. About. Leo. Valdez’s. Hands??? Like come on ppl they’re probably (correction: definitely) like really really soft and nimble and lean and slender and— oh my god I’m getting flustered just thinking about this!! Idk I think their just really nice to hold in general but also nice to look at (and the fact that his hands are always doing something? bro I— *faints*) also like…. They’re always so warm and the veins kinda pop out of his hans and his wrists when he’s working AHHHH. I have more but I think that’s enough going feral for now lmao

BABES I CONSTANTLY THANK GOD FOR ESTEBAN THINK ABOUT LEO MOTHERFUCKING VALDEZ'S HANDS. constantly. CONSTANTLY. first of all he has firebender type hands which if you don't know look like this

and they are BEAUTIFUL. it's exactly like you said my dear anon, they're wonderful to hold, lovely to look at and watch him work, if you like drawing you're SO going to draw the hell out of his hands until you've perfected them. And yeah they really do need to be doing something all the time, whether it's playing with your hands or hair or jewlery, or curling inside you or pressing down on your tongue while you suck on them and he's just fuckin smirking at you in that way he does that makes your stomach flip and sends heat burning inside you?????? all are good options tbh

and hHWSDKFSLKDFJS THE VEIN???????? THE VEIN??????? I historically haven't been as down bad for veiny hands as other people but on Leo????????? holy shit it's like michaelangelo carved it himself. david was just practice for making Leo and his gorgeous gorgeous hands. it's weird because his hands feel warm when you hold them but they feel cold to him?? like he wants to warm them up a lot bc they're cold internally but they're always warm to the touch pyrokinesis so you're always so so so down to hold them and if you press kisses to his palms or the back of his hands he will literally melt he won't even know what to do with himself but kiss you on the mouth

New Project - Movement Mindmap and Initial Concept - 'Movement Through Time' (11/01/23)

When I heard the word movement I began to think about movement of the body or movement in nature, but these ideas didn't jump out at me. But then I began to think about movement in terms of travel. I still wasn't gripped at this stage but then I thought of the concept of Movement Through Time (aka time travel) and my physics/history interested brain lit up with excitement. Time travel combines two of my interests history and physics whilst looking at movement also.

I made a rough mindmap and then made a timeline of periods that I want to move between

I plan to 'time travel' (mentally move through time) from the pre historic period to modern day. My plan is not to make a sculpture of a time machine but to allow my paintings and prints to mentally transport me through the periods with their period focused subjects/styles. I plan to travel through time with my animations as well.

I have gathered some objects for my inspiration box which includes history books, old toys, jewlery and photos, a venician mask , an old style quill and much more

I plan in getting a better understanding of the science theory of moving through time by watching documentaries (such as Steven Hawkings documentary 'Genius - Can we Time Travel?' ) on national geographic and then using them as inspiration for my works. I also planning on watching history documentaries on national geographic to gain a better understanding of the historic periods that I want to move between.

I also want to link my disciplines well throughout the project so I made a list of possible opportunities to do so:

I have also had a very brief look at possible artists and artworks that look at time travel or make artworks on historic periods that I could use as inspiration for my works including John Stezaker, Nick Morely (printing) and the animated film Mr. Peabody and Sherman by Dreamworks Animation Studios (animation)

My three disciplines:

Painting

Animation

Printing

Do you have any cool wedding info to share?

!!!!!! yES

also i alksjdaksdkladsl i got too excited and it got long long long so im putting it under a cut alskdjalk

The tradition of bridesmaids comes from the Romans, and its why they all typically dress the same! the tradition of the white wedding dress came to us later, in the victorian era, and originally all the bridesmaids and the bride were dressed in the same color the idea was that a bride was especially vulnerable to malicious spirits during this huge transition period of her life, and dressing up several other young women in similar outfits would confuse the spirits and keep them from targeting her, because they wouldnt be able to tell them apart!

the reason the bride stands to the grooms left is to leave his sword hand free

theres a scottish wedding tradition that the night before the wedding the bride and grooms friends take them out and - i shit thee not - attack them with ash, treacle, flour, feathers, you name it. they just absolutely wreck their shit and i think its fantastic. its called the "blackening"

Also, lots of people know about dowries and they feature pretty popularly in historical fiction, but fewer people know that there are actually multiple types of "bridal goods" (property exchanged as part of a marriage contract) and some cultures use more than one!

Dowry - property settled on the bride/the marriage by her parents. The idea of this was to show that the parents were not just trying to get rid of their daughter and get one less mouth to feed - the property/money was meant to be specifically to help take care of her and any children she might bear. many cultures considered the dowry the wife's property rather than her husbands, and it was usually meant to be returned to her in the event of divorce.

Bride price - essentially the opposite of a dowry. money or property given from the groom or grooms family to the brides family in exchanged for her hand in marriage. it served multiple functions - to prove to the brides family that the groom had the means to support her and any of their children financially, and to compensate the family for the loss of her labor

dower, also called a "morning gift," "bench gift," or "bride-veil gift" and is my favorite - property given directly from the groom to the bride herself upon their marriage. basically what this is is a thank you gift/compensation for the fact that as his wife she's now going to be risking her life bearing his children. the least common type of bridal good, but my favorite because i think its pretty decent of a guy to flat out be like "yeah pregnancy and childbirth are risky af thanks for being willing to do that" ESPECIALLY in time periods where marriages were more like business transactions

a lot of times in fiction bridal goods/dowries are just a lump sum of money, but that was actually pretty rarely the case! any kind of property could be used as bridal goods, and often more than one kind of good was included - land, livestock, household goods, clothing, jewlery, or even books!

[evannilchristie]

The latest challenge at work is finding correct ways of storing big collections of historical crockery. There's not a lot of bibliography on the topic and it's honestly not my favorite material to work with. Its fragility is a bit unnerving, and it's been giving me anxiety.

(can i go back to either jewlery or hats please?? they're always so fuuuuuuuuun)

Writing MacGuffins

Intro

If you don't know what a MacGuffin is, allow me to give you a quick definition: MacGuffin is a plot device used in films or books that sets the characters into motion and drives the story. A MacGuffin is an object, idea, person, or goal that the characters are either in pursuit of or which serves as a motivation for their actions. Usually, the MacGuffin is revealed in the first act.

Source for this post: MasterClass

Do You Need One?

A MacGuffin can be a very useful thing if you're struggling to come up with plot points for your story, especially in the middle of it, which I know can be the hardest to write. If you're out of ideas or need to give your story some more meat, MacGuffins can add an extra subplot and give your characters something to do. Make sure that it's still relevant to the story, though, and you're not just putting one in for filler.

You could also raise the stakes by putting a time limit on the MacGuffin (ex. something bad will happen if your characters can't find this missing item by a certain date, like the lighting bolt from pjo).

Different Uses

A MacGuffin has two main functions

As a catalyst: In this case, the MacGuffin is something that motivates the characters to take action. This can be a motivator for both the protagonists or the antagonists.

To reveal character traits: In addition to being a motivator, a MacGuffin can also symbolize something (ex. rosebud from citizen kane representing a loss of innocence).

MacGuffin Ideas

a family heirloom

a magical item

a missing person

legal documents

evidence from a crime scene

confidential/secret files

expensive/rare jewlery

historical artifacts

just straight up money

Famous Examples

the one ring (lord of the rings)

infinity stones (marvel)

the heart of the ocean (titanic)

doug (the hangover)

the declaration of independance (national treasure)

the money (psycho)

the briefcase (pulp fiction)

horcruxes (harry potter)

Rajasthani women wear the heaviest ornaments on their wedding day to make it more beautiful and memorable. The Rajasthani bride’s jewellery is mostly inspired by traditional Rajput splendour and Mughal elegance, with the latest Indian artificial jewellery designs.

Let's discuss the culture of artificial jewellery to learn about the various types that are most wearable by Rajasthani bridals.

Matha Patti

A Matha Patti is a popular piece of head jewellery with a lot of beads chosen to make it more stylish and shiny.

The Nathni, also known as the nose ring, is a prominent piece that completes the Rajasthani bridal look. A typical Rajasthani nathni is heavily decorated with colourful beads and precious stones.

Brides usually wear it on the left nostril and connect it to the left ear using a pearl chain or gold chain to fix it.

Haath-Phool

The hathphool is a bracelet and a long chain with finger rings that wrap around the wrist and rings that are attached to the finger rings. This jewellery isn't used by many people, but in Rajasthan and mostly Rajput territory, this piece is worn during their festival or wedding season.

— dark academia + wanderlust

@/skylinemusings on instagram

— i. introduction

wanderlust refers to the strong desire of wanting to wander, travel, explore the world, and engage with different cultures and experiences. it frequently represents a strong desire for personal growth through experiencing the unknown, confronting unforeseen challenges, and learning about foreign cultures, behaviors, and ways of life.

dark academia, on the other hand, is a popular aesthetic and internet subculture that centers around classic literature, the pursuit of self-discovery, and a general passion for knowledge and learning. this subculture is also often associated with ancient art, classical Greek and Latin, and Gothic architecture.

— the following slides will categorize the similarities found in the interests and motives of wanderlust and dark academia into a niche of their own. enjoy!

— ii. dark academia + wanderlust

wanderlust with ‘dark academic’ motivations consists of the desire to escape and the dissatisfaction that the restlessness and restrictions of staying in one place bring.

this niche can be explained by a strong drive to learn new things and gain knowledge through observation, analysis, and experience.

self-improvement, active thinking, and focus are all readily encouraged as well, along with the blatant desire to always be seeing and always be consuming something you haven't before.

Downtown San Salvador

Sketchy AF!!! That’s all I have to say. Spent a good 3 hours strolling around the Historical centre today. Even saw 3 tourists. But in all honesty, if I didn’t speak Spanish, I would’ve felt highly uncomfortable. So yeah…

Within a week we’ve arrived to a point where I’m stripped from all my electronics, jewlery, even make-up when going out. I go out with a couple of dollars plus an old Iphone 6S. That’s it. And best believe I’m back in the gated community before it gets dark. Like Will Smith from “I am the legend”.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit’s real here, alright! It really is. Gangs are real, murders are real, robbing is real, child snatches…real. It’s real. Shit’s real over here.
