was talking about it with @cafedanslanuit but we’re obsessed with the idea that mitsuya would make his girlfriend’s wedding dress TAT
the idea started off as a joke
mitsuya lost in a train of thought as he works on his latest project. what he’s making for dinner, touman, what you two should do on your next date and then weddings fills his mind
luna and mana are in their ‘say yes to the dress japan’ phase and it’s all they’ve been watching and he balks at the prices of every dress because there’s no way he or his mom could afford something like that for even one of his sisters let alone both of them
but when he was grimacing about it, his sisters gleefully said that they would just go to him when they get married and have their favoritist bestest big brother in the world make their dream dresses and then proceeded to make their specific demands as to what they wanted their dresses to look like (the little brats he snorts to himself)
the same thought of expensive dresses apply to you though. if you ever got married, he doubts you’d have the budget for it unless the both of you are just high balling it once you’re adults. so he chuckles, mid-stitch and thinks “guess i’ll just have to make her dress too”
but then a few minutes go by and mitsuya pauses, thinking to himself more seriously “if we ever get married, i want to be the one who makes her dress”
and it was a project he began years before actually proposing to you
the process of designing your wedding dress was a serious affair from day one. there’s no ‘draw up a few sketches and going ‘that’s it, that’s the one’. mitsuya is meticulous
he starts asking about your favorite style of formal wear under the guise of saying it’s for the sewing club’s catalogue or some competition. confused you ask ‘i thought you hated awards and competitions’ and he responds ‘well yasuda and the others want to improve the club’s prestige so it’s easier for the new president to gather members once we third years graduate’ and yeah that sounds believable to you
so he asks throughout the months and years: what’s your opinion on the mermaid style, princess, something more elegant? florals?? beading???
he even asks emma and hina to take note of any dresses you found particularly stunning in those wedding shows you all liked to watch from time to time
he’s worked on the design of your wedding dress for years and one personal requirement mitsuya has for himself is that the design of your dress must be finalized before he proposes
once you’re engaged and you’ve picked a season you want to be married in, he orders materials best suited for it so you’ll be more comfortable the day of the wedding
he even says ‘you don’t have to do a white dress either, i’ll make it any color you want okay? just tell me’
his face is so soft one day while he works on it in his studio
he worked so hard on the design process but now he’s actually here, actually making it
you said ‘yes’ to his proposal and now he’s making your dress and he’s going to see you wear what he lovingly made for you and you alone. saying he’s happy isn’t enough, it’s nowhere close to how he feels
gets emotional during the fitting making the last adjustments because he’s not a kid with a pipe dream and sketchbook hoping you’ll marry each other anymore, now he’s a man crafting your wedding attire because you’re marrying each other
(once he’s in control of himself again and finishes the adjustments, you sweetly suggest practicing your vows since it’s just the two of you in his studio)
(both of you count that as the true wedding. just you and mitsuya and the dress he made for you)

https://at.tumblr.com/alicoles/which-one-of-henry-viiis-wives-is-alicent/k8sabcwh80z0 👀I trust now to you and your history expertise
Ah, the Tudors, literally my first ever foray into getting weirdly obsessed with periods of history, this is a merger of two very intense interests lol.
Also I personally voted for Jane Seymour, even tho an argument could be made for Katherine Parr if I wanted to, because there definitely are similarities in story and in temperament (as fas as we can guess, considering we don't know that much about Jane which is why stannes who get so weird about her fucking INFURIATE me), and also because there's a recap blog that's been watching The Tudors that described Annabelle Wallis's Jane as essentially a woman married to an abusive man who is working really hard to toe the line and make sure that she never got on his bad side or said the wrong thing and just always kept her cool and her head, and that kind of description is giving me big Alicent energy.

I think it's interesting that defending Nancy is the one thing I have done so far (on this small, relatively new side blog) that compels people to comment on my posts in disagreement. I don't think it's rude or bad for them to do so, but it's always about Nancy, and it's always some form of "I don't hate her/think she's a bad character, but I don't like that she [insert bad thing that's not super-related to the point of my post]."
If I write about how I disapprove of people pitting her and Barb against each other, I get a comment about how she's cold and indifferent to Mike (who is not Barb). If I say that it's ridiculous to act like she's as bad as Billy, I get a comment about her cavalier approach to gun safety (which, if Billy's most salient flaw was, say, reckless driving, I would feel a lot different about him). It's like I can't defend one aspect of her character without people going "actually she's not perfect and I don't have to like her."
And, I'm like, what is the goal here? I give them permission to not like Nancy? I assure them that they're not sexist? I go "oh, damn, you're right, I do think Nancy is perfect and want to force everyone to like her"? I decide that I don't like Nancy?
