#ts4 #the sims 4 #ts4 historical #ts4 my sims #wip #I just need to look at this with eyes that are not sore from the whole day behind the monitor #but at this point it's kind of done and I think it looks okay...ish #every damn time I'm trying to make colors 'natural' I end up with 50 shades of brown and green or brownish greenish something #on the other hand hot pink it's just not my cup of tea

I’ve been seeing a lot of people shit on straight couples in shipping and in general as a "joke" lately, particularly in the Dungeon Meshi fandom. Friendly reminder that, besides the evil straights, when you mock or put down straight couples for being straight/"not queer enough", you also make bi and pan people, and trans and ace people who experience hetero attraction feel unwelcome and lesser. Negativity hurts, love is love, happy valentine’s!

#It’s not even unironic or subtle anymore. Very uncomfy ngl #I know which side of the ace discourse y’all would be on and I do not like it #A lot of people reading will have the gut instinct of “shut up straight 🙄” and if that’s you I want you to pause and think about that #Yes I understand the historical sociopolitical reasons. Can we not rise above and not be exclusionists #When did queerness start being a performance needed to belong here. When did it become synonym for morality of a ship.#Not even gonna put this post in general tags bc I’m scared but if I get backlash my point will only be made tbh. What about this is wrong #Will being an ace heteroflexible-demiromantic queer woman save me some heat? Doubtful and that’s the sad thing isn’t it #Never straight enough for the straights never gay enough for the gays.#Bi marcille and ace laios laimar <3 Not that they care tho #I love being a multishipper. Laicion and farcille and marchil and laimar and cittadol and labru having a tea party in my mind and thriving #Is it not enough to be happy and uplifting

lowkey losing my shit at the comedic potential of mid/late 18th century British-Danish relations, particularly this part

During its heyday, the Danish East Indian Company and the Swedish East India Company imported more tea than the British East India Company — and smuggled 90% of it into Britain, where it sold at a huge profit.

first off, that's hilarious. second, the potential of Alfred and Mathias running into each other because they're both smuggling tea to sell in England is fucking incredible. and if it's before 1772, then both Alfred and Mathias are members of Arthur's own fucking household.

#hetalia hc #hetalia hcs #hetalia headcanons #historical hetalia #hetalia headcanon #hws america #hws denmark #okay they're OCCASIONAL members of Arthur's household #presumably Alfred mostly lives in the colonies and Mathias in Copenhagen #but Britain and Denmark have a royal marriage during this time and that's as good excuse as any #arthur: I don't understand. where is everyone buying such cheap tea from??? the EIC should be making much more profit than this #mathias: wow that's so weird. don't have a clue how that's happening #alfred: I bet it's ned's fault #mathias: yeah that dutch bastard always gets away with everything

You will never convince me that around 1900 Aziraphale was not wearing this and inviting Crowley to the bookshop just so that he could come down the stairs all fabulous and lacy pretending that it was casual loungewear.

Tea Gown by House of Rouff, Paris (embroidery from India), ca. 1900, all info on the V&A Collection page

Carte de visite of a young cadet, c. 1860s. On the back, there is a very intriguing handwritten poem:

Cher Paul, objet de mon amour, Objet que j'aimerai toujours, Daigne accorder à l'avenir A ton ami qui t'en supplie, Dans ton coeur, dans ton souvenir L'heureuse place qu'il envie.

Which Google Translate turns to:

Dear Paul, object of my love, Object that I will always love, Deign to grant in the future To your friend who begs you, In your heart, in your memory, The happy place he desires.

Followed by a signature which might read "Ed Charruau" but I have difficulty making out the handwriting from here on. For that matter I am a little unsure whether that's really a "Paul" or a "Saul" or some secret third thing.

And below that, there is a note in a different, much messier hand that is largely illegible to me apart from a few tantalizing words—"amour" (underscored!), "admissible," "nécessités de la" (...what??), "toujours," "après"—dated 1884.

I can say with some confidence based on the style of the photography, the uniform, the photographer's backstamp and the card itself that this cdv dates no later than 1870, which means it is twenty-some years after this love(?) poem that someone writes this addition and I am absolutely dying for even a guess at what it reads! What happened? Did things work out for Ed and Paul(/Saul/?aul)??

Or... is this possibly actually all much less romantically charged in French actually (oh the irony), just guys being guys composing bro poems of platonic duditude to each other, as they do? Or less gay—could Paul/Saul/?aul somehow be a girl's name/nickname?

#or is it “cher GAUL” is our friend Ed pulling an Enjolras and declaring his feelings to France itself #tumblr please help me in my hour of need #the need to spill this long dead tea #19th century #1800s #1860s #1880s #19th century fashion #historical fashion #men's fashion #fashion history #military fashion #uniforms #19th century photography #cdv #carte de visite #gay interest #ephemera #poetry
