If I hear the word "broodmare" used in a 3rd wave feminist, anti-patriarchy speech by a female character who is supposed to be from a time where bicycles aren't invented yet in one of these "historical" dramas I am going to lose my mind.

Like yes, feminists existed before the late 19th century! Good job! But am I supposed to believe that every single 16 year old princess had the exact same "I don't want to be sold off like a broodmare and bear children for my husband!" reaction to the news that they were going to have an arranged marriage, y'know the thing they have been prepared for their entire lives because children of monarchs in a pre-modern world were (and knew that they were) practically political bargaining tools?

Like showrunners of period dramas need to dial it down on the #girlboss juice and instead put more energy into historical costume research beyond typing "old timey dress" to Pinterest and running with the first five results.

#i hate period dramas #i love period dramas #i think period dramas could do better #also corsets aren't fucking evil or oppressive #most corsetmakers in history were women and Victorian men who hated the idea of women-owned businesses started a smear campaign out of spite #so no wearing the historically accurate undergarment for the historical film you are shooting doesn't make you lose your feminist status #rant #period dramas #period drama rant #historical accuracy

While I'm still new at drawing, I thought I would start a DTIYS. Regency Era AU with Catwalker. This is for all my Austen peeps! I would still love a Pride and Prejudice AU, but I have no idea how to go about that. What would the plot even be? I'm thinking Mansfield Park would work better. What do you guys think?

Woman: *Cries because her friend was found murdered earlier that afternoon*

A group of English men: *Stare at her with mild concern*

Her English Husband: I’m so sorry she feels too much.

Most directors (it seems): The sexiest thing is sex.

Me: The sexiest thing is when two people spend weeks staring at each other in longing and then their hands brush against each other, and then they hug, but like with their whole bodies and one person puts their hand on the back of the other's head and it feels like they will never stop hugging because they've wanted it so bad, and then they kiss ONCE (1 time) but it feels earned.

#period dramas #the sexiest thing isn't sex #I want to see their hands brush up against each other!!!#I want them to have one kiss after being in love for an extended period #GIVE ME THE LONGING #alchemy of souls #pride and prejudice 2005 #give me close ups of HANDS

Jane Austen did not put all her effort into making unique and distinct female protagonists for hollywood to mutate them all into witty, tomboyish, snarky elizabeth bennett clones

the scorpion and the frog

#hellsing #alutegra #i need period drama hellsing #the clothes might be historically inaccurate because i just shove every reference up together #did not have the time to differentiate between victorian or ewardian or regency something something #alucard hellsing #integra hellsing #the scorpion and the frog is my favourite fable #there are so many ways to interpret it more than just a cautionary tale #personally i see it as a tragic romance #all of my otps follow the same damn trope everytime #someone who believed that it is in their nature that they are unlovable #and someone who trusted them regardless even fully aware of their destructive nature #but as fairytales mostly go isnt true love can break the spell #so i think there are several ways that the tale of the scorpion and the frog can be retold #the scorpion and the frog
