Yknow sometimes I think about collecting more antique clothing to wear but then I remember that I'm 5'10" and ladies weren't that tall back then
Oh, they were! Just fewer of them (throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, average height fluctuated as low as 2" below the modern average, or as close to it as no difference at all). And their clothing is less likely to survive, because larger or longer garments could be more easily cut down to make clothing for smaller relatives and/or children. That's called "survivorship bias," and in clothing history, it's the reason small clothes tend to be overrepresented in museums. There are other factors, like formal milestones for which clothing might be a significant memento happening mostly early in life, when you're at your smallest adult size, but that's the most relevant one to your situation.
Also, don't feel too bad- a lot of antique clothing isn't wearable for not immediately obvious reasons. From concerns about silk "shattering," a form of damage that's literally unrepairable, to iron mordants in black dye making black garments fall apart faster over time, your best bet re: wearing antiques is to stick to things like undergarments and maybe blouses and outerwear. Sad but true.
#ask#anon#clothing history#fashion history#dress history#I'm 4'11" and I've never been average height for an AFAB person in all of human history#I checked#alas#jewelry can be a great way to break the false impressions of historical size I've found#because it's not subject to survivorship bias as much#you can resize a ring but most people won't need to if it's of an average finger size#bracelets usually can't even be altered that way at all#most Victorian rings and bracelets that I've encountered are still too big for me#so there you go

Love your stories. Literal highlight of my days!!!
Prompt: “So what if you’re not my soulmate! I don’t care!”
Thanks so much! 😀
-
Stephen just stares when Tony pulls out the ring and asks the question. Tony’s nerves transmute into a terrible dread when the silence goes on and on and Stephen’s answer becomes clear. By the time he speaks, Tony is cold all over.
“Tony, I can’t,” Stephen says, quietly. He looks broken. Why does he look broken when Tony’s the one whose proposal just got turned down?
“Why not?” Tony asks desperately. “I love you. I know you love me. No one ever really made me believe they loved me before, but you did!”
Stephen closes his eyes for a moment. When he opens them, he only looks more determined. “Because I’m not your soulmate,” he says.
Tony surges up off his bent knee and stuffs the ring back in his pocket. “So what if you’re not my soulmate?! I don’t care!”
“You’ll care when you meet them,” Stephen says, looking up at him from his seat on the couch. “Tony, somewhere out there is someone who is perfect for you. Someone who will make you happy like I never could. You deserve that.”
“Perfect for me.” Tony snorts. He paces for a moment and then stops in front of Stephen, jaw set. “I have the most famous soulmark in the world, right? You’ve seen the fakers. Everyone knows what it looks like.”
“They won’t all be fakers—”
“Yes or no!” Tony snaps. “Everyone knows what it looks like, right?”
Stephen frowns. “Right. Yes.”
“Which means that my soulmate knows that I’m their match,” Tony says. “They know I’m their match and they decided they didn’t want me. They didn’t want me before Afghanistan, they didn’t want me after, and they don’t want me now. And if they ever change their mind? I don’t care!” Tony realizes he’s shouting and stops, takes a breath. “Nothing they could say could ever make up for the fact that they chose not to be here when I needed them most. Like hell I’m going to let fate stick me with someone like that. I want someone who chose to be with me. I want someone who decided to be with me because they like me, not because some,” he flails for a word for a moment, “some fucking birthmark said they should be.”
Stephen is staring up at him. Hope surges in Tony’s chest. He drops into a crouch and takes Stephen’s hands in his. “You’re right for me because you’re blank,” he insists. “You picked me. Even when everyone told you it was a bad bet, you picked me. That’s what I want. I want us to choose each other, over and over again.”
Stephen is flushed now. His eyes are shining and… yes, Tony thinks that might be a smile. “Give me my ring,” Stephen says.
Tony blinks. “What?”
“You offered me a ring,” Stephen says. “Give it to me.”
Laughing, Tony fishes the ring out of his pocket again. “Is that a yes?”
Stephen beams when Tony slides the band onto his finger. “That’s a yes,” he confirms, and pulls Tony into a kiss.

what if we started commenting on each other’s dracula daily posts like it’s a class discussion board assignment and we need to add at least two (2) low-effort comments on our classmates’ forum posts for full participation credit
like “that’s a good point tumblr user bisexualicondracula, i agree that dracula is a bisexual icon. i liked the part where you said that dracula is bisexual.”
#dracula daily#dracula#PS that url is available if anyone wants it#i checked#someone should take it and comment on this post for the meme

Silvio got his first client! This girl, Junko, is his actual and only yoga student, and she also comes to get massages often. Uh, she also has a sort of crush on Sil, but he prefers to look the other way and keep things as professional as possible.

Okay but like who told G'raha it would be a good idea to put spikes on his hood near his eyes like that doesn't seem practical.

I am incredibly normal about Cater Diamond.
how normal, exactly?
well, I only have 357 images of him saved to my computer, so I think that shows some restraint :)
#twisted wonderland#twst#cater diamond#twst cater#this is not an exaggeration#i checked#and I subtracted the non-cater ones that I saved on that folder for convenience#god i need therapy#cater

to clear it up Mako with sharp teeth HAS been mentioned in COUNTER/Weight but only appearing on his avatar ("on the internet")
AUSTIN: What does your - what does your avatar look like? On the internet.
KEITH: I think… I think that it’s, uh… it’s me, but with sharp teeth and a shark fin.
COUNTER/Weight 10: Drawing Clocks

insane how all of gotham can just not have any access to the internet for a few weeks and when we get it back, the only people talking about it are metropolis kids making memes shitting on us
#some of the memes are kind of funny#but it's still a strange experience#it wasn't even on the news#at least not anywhere outside the city#trust me#i checked#also no#no one has any idea what happened#just gotham city things#only in gotham#unreality
