Amphibiuary Day 25 - Clothes

An attempt at Beatrix Potter's Mr. Jeremy Fisher and Sir Isaac Newton. Because when I think of animals in clothes, I think of Beatrix Potter.

Me when one of The Artists Ever (TO ME) opens comms when I'm out of a job and I feel like a sick loathsome victorian/eduardian maiden pressing her hand to the glass during a cool winter rainy season to watch her beloved ride off to war ((I will signal boost as usual))

For the ask: 7, 12, 94, 98

7. Earbuds or headphones?

Headphones for comfort, earbuds when I wanna noise-cancel (VERY handy for sensory overload in public lol)

12. Name of your favorite playlist?

I don’t have one tbh ^^” I only have a playlist made for when I’m working out, which is just called “gym.”

I’ve been listening to a short lofi album on repeat recently while writing though, if that counts?? It’s called Haunted Castle and it’s by Dosi!!

94. Favorite season?

Either fall or winter!! I can’t stand hot weather or when it’s sunny out ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

98. Favorite historical era?

Ooooo this one is hard because I’ve never been big on history really lol. I guess the Victorian/Eduardian era aesthetics are really fun, if that counts for anything

A mix of bothvictorian and eduardian inspired. crimson silver and black gown with the silver details Than gold for a dark look with detachable sleeves on the bishop sleeve that almost look like a reverse mutton sleeve

[quietb00m]

Do I actually think european fancy garb is my favorite historical aesthetic or is it cus thats all I've ever been exposed to and everything else outside that is shown in an archaic and ugly way

[divorcedcastiel]

Queen Alexandra Carolina Maria Carlota Luísa Júlia was born in Copenhagen on December 1, 1844 and died at Sandringham on November 20, 1925. She was the wife of King Edward VII and queen consort of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1901 to 1910 .

When she married Prince Edward VII in 1863, she became Princess of Wales and thus began to become a fashion icon. Her wedding dress was made by fashion designer Charles Worth.

She was known to like to adorn herself excessively and was never seen without jewelry, despite wearing fake jewelry when it suited her.

Among the trends she launched, the most copied were: The pearl choker, which she used to hide a scar on her neck; excess jewelry; and the change in her dresses to adapt her limp, left by the time she contracted rheumatic fever. With the modifications to the dresses came the introduction of the Edwardian petticoat, modifying the female silhouette. The limp was also copied by the women of the time, who also started to walk on a crutch to become more like Alexandra.

An interesting curiosity is an event in which King Eduard, who, after being crowned, became extremely formal in the way he dressed, scolded his wife who thought her honorific band was better inside out, making her change before going out in public.

Here we can see an example of before and after the Alexandra petticoat, first, on the left side, we see a dress from the Victorian era (the queen in force before King Edward and his wife) and then a dress from the Edwardian era, in which it was used the Alexandra petticoat.

Victorian era.

Eduardian era.

Painted Ladies: A Few Photographs of Victorian Style Homes

By Darren Smith, Weekend Contributor

A Painted Lady describes a coloring schema of Victorian and Eduardian style houses common of the era between the middle 19th century to the 1910s yet repainted starting in the 1960s to accentuate the architecture through the use of many differing colors, often to a great level of precision (Some attaining not quite a Jan Van Eyck granularity but certainly above that of McMansions blighting many neighborhoods.

Here are a few for your enjoyment. Click each to enlarge.

I must apologize for not having the presence of mind to check the camera prior to the shoot, and suffering the resultant exospheric level ISO setting. It was dissappointing in that I intended to make many closeups to study the nooks and architecture of these various houses, but the grain and noise levels were too great and I otherwise chose not to channel my inner Georges Seurat. A subsequent visit to what could have been a colorful adjunct, a visit to tulip farms, crashed actually worse. Perhaps next year I’ll partake in the tulip mania.

Being not a man of the Nineteenth Century, I cannot extrapolate on whether during the time of construction these homes were viewed as overly ostentatious or were crafted for a consumer who wanted a little more than a bungalow but not a mansion. Yet they were drafted it surely seems by someone having a hand for creation and an eye for elegance. The homes stand in my view in bitter contrast to the devolution of style with McMansions sold to the pretentious who lack artistry, vision, and restraint.

  One ritual I practiced during my college years was to drive home a different way every few times to visit a different neighborhood of the city I resided within. More often than not I found myself immersed in the same types of architecture, the Edwardian and Victorian homes. I remember promising myself that at some point in the future, I would have one of these. But life and I did not agree on the same furnishings.  I do find it in many respects more agreeable to have a home equipped with century-old technology only, but I’ll splurge for modernity a little and forego shoveling coal into the furnace each day.

  D’oh, a deer, a female dear.

  The above photograph–it is not apparent–but it seems a whale serves as a Weather Vane. I never fully considered a cetacean circularizing the wind direction. I thought that the domain of the rooster. But I suppose as long as one is simply announcing the current wind direction, any animal will suffice. (and they surely won’t fall victim to public shaming for incorrect prediction as does Punxsutawney Phil via his nemesis, the Lorenz Attractor.)

On a side note, this particular location seems to have suffered a rout. My prior visit here found it quite cold yet fully stocked with visitors and shops welcoming their dollars. Now with some exceptions all are closed. Most have signs stating a virus caused the closure. That’s some virus, able it seems to manipulate the macroscopic world into causing shops to close, transforming itself into a business wrecking hegemon that persuaded merchants to close or be thrown in jail. Amazing what a strand of RNA can do! I thought all along these closures were caused by an organism called a Politician, who’s epicenter lies at the state capitol. But what do I know? I just write blog articles on weekends.

I suppose if people must be required to stay in a home it might as well have some flair to it.

I think I still want a squad of fancy eduardian / victorian lads. Well dressed boys who have a club where it’s literally just “we talk about business and mild gossip over fine dining”.

Thankfully Dreadweight docks as a lore concept / lair tab is versatile enough to justify shoving them into it (and like, as a port trading hub i can have it just be super diverse as far as what sort of dragons loiter around there).

Here we have an antique Smith Premiere No 4 Double Keyboard typewriter made in 1909! This is an upstrike typewriter. It types on the bottom of the platen roller. To see what you type, you need to rotate the roller, then rotate it back to continue typing. Crazy! It has been restored to working condition. We left the rust as it looks cool. It is up for auction right now!
