some ideas from an au where maglor just keeps living in britain (/himring?)

especially in the earlier eras he had to put a lot more effort into styling/dyeing his hair to cover his ears & the blueness/Elf Sparkle. he also wore glasses for a while to dim the Treelight Eyes (because even as badly faded as he is, it's still really obvious with how old he is).

#silm #silmarillion #maglor #seventh age stuff #<- adjacent au #weirdly modern maglor feels the closest to maglor-maglor?#but he also looks like a lawyer in a tv show for some reason?#like edwardian maglor's outfit is pretty similar structure wise (high collar/waistcoat/long coat) but the hat & hairstyle really affect it?#but modern maglor has roughly the same silhouette with the jacket and definitely the most freedom with the ear and hairstyle #early 1900s maglor has a sort of beard thing to not look too young but it looks weird on him i think #it probably wouldnt look as out of place if his hair was shorter but he needs to cover his ears somehow #honestly merovingian maglor looks pretty maglor-y the hairstyle is just not blue enough #the front curly bits on baroque maglor are very maglor-y despite being even less blue #...huh i guess maglor is just 80% Hair #the rest is just fancy clothes; sad harp; and depression #baroque maglor did turn out really well though #maybe because maglor-maglor already borrows a lot from the baroque composer style outfit wise? like he is for unknown reasons #the only YT-FoA elf with a waistcoat i think #through all of this he has remained mysteriously wealthy #(probably because he knows where all the treasuries are in himring)

Metal bedframes began appearing in Britain in the early 19th century and were adopted by health conscious Victorians who appreciated how easy they were to clean. I suspect they also appreciated the comparative ventilation of the metal bars as compared to the heavily-curtained four posters of yore, given these were the same people who slept with windows open all year round to keep rooms from running out of clean air.

EA actually made a fairly good attempt at giving us a Victorian/Edwardian bed frame with the Cottage Living bed... they just made the casters a little big and the bedding ugly. I personally find EA's version a bit fussy, so I sought to simplify the whole thing, abandoning the curves and brass beads for cleaner lines, with just the flourishes at the head of the bed. I also removed the casters... so sorry to those needing to move the bed. This makes it a little less period friendly, but your sims will appreciate the increased stability. On the other hand, many of these casters were removed from old Victorian frames in the 1980s, so this bed fits well for a modern Sim who likes their antiques, or simply the look. Indeed, there are still companies selling similar beds today, so this style is truly versatile through the ages.

Requires Cottage Living. Comes in 30 swatches, half with a white frame, half with a black frame.

ooooh so I would love to hear more about Helen Norwich, and about how the English Civil War might have gone in that 'verse!

Helen, I don’t know if I said but she’s Norwich’s niece. Which I want to be clear, he never did anything to her but OH BOY. She was also born not that long after Tom Cromwell escaped him (Helen was born in 1523) after he’d been expecting to be his older brothers heir for so long (his brother had been married twice before Helen’s mother with no children and they had Helen late in their marriage).

Helen is very quiet, very considered and sensible - but she is beautiful which Norwich, after his Annoyed At Her Existence was like ‘��oh yay BARGAINING CHIP’ - it meant he could hold her wardship and then find an appropriate husband for her that could best benefit him.

(Helen was preparing to make the best of this she could - at least Norwich didn’t actually give a fuck about the actual management of the Earldom and she’s fairly sure that any husband he would pick for her wouldn’t either and would be happy for her to stay in the country with their children while he was at court so…she’d have that at least, in between whatever cruelty)*

*I’m fairly sure Norwich wouldn’t suffer like extreme cruelty because Status Thing and Status Thing Only but also he would totally not care if Helen was miserable or not.

She gets the Earldom in her own right in the end and makes it a really lovely place again - I think Welles Hall is actually particularly famous for fine wool(s) but I’m still working that out.

The Civil War in OT3 verse is me going ‘what if I flip things and the Restorationists are pissed about the increasing democracy + their colonial attempts got slapped down HARD’ essentially.

Essentially there’s this but I’ll babble some more!

Baron Hugh Wake (Of Liddell) is based on a real historical family - the first Baron had a daughter married one of the sons of Edward I by his second wife. It is however by his son (in our history both of the first barons sons died but here his oldest lives) John that Baron Hugh is descended.

King Hugh/The Restorationist King essentially begins the rebellion, well I’ll go from my notes:

Started it after his father, son and some of his sons friends were going to be jailed for human rights abuses. Believed that England should be an Empire to be great, should expel all the Jewish people, should become a Christian nation and revert to the ‘natural order of nobility.

(They attempted to start a colony in what we would call North America. (The Spanish had previously been kicked out of South America in a story that is not mine to tell but does happen). They failed Miserably)).

There are whisperings about the changes Thomas and Mihrimah make and things do happen but they really start in Turhan’s reign. And then it goes on and becomes louder. About how Not White, Not Christian the royal family has become. About how there are Jews and Muslims and…in England. About how there is no imperialism, no ‘glory of empire’ and how people are being penalised for trying to make one by like jail.

So we get to Henry VIII’s great great (I think that’s enough greats!) grandson Arthur (Jahan) II (I call him Arthur II because of the Tudor Arthurian Fandom Thing). His first child is a daughter and he decrees that she’s going to be the heir regardless of any brothers born afterwards. The royal family takes the final steps to expand representative democracy. Also the eventual restoration king’s son, his sons friends and his father are jailed for a failed attempt to colonise North America. They rebel at all of the above (it is possible that I a biracial jewish etc woman am Having Some Feelings). Arthur is eventually beheaded, there’s a Restoration King for the same time Oliver Cromwell ruled and then..Arthur’s daughter Charlotte Askala is invited back.

The Restorationist Reign included a lot of awful things happening - like I mentioned the reform schools here

But that was very much the idea - they also did that to the children of nobles etc who weren’t restorationists. It’s pretty heavy history and I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately (including Gregory Cromwell’s descendant(s) and how the chest with the Triads letters etc survived). The King Arthur Jahan was beheaded, his wife and daughter sent into exile. (I love them as well). Then Charlotte Askala (his daughter) is asked back because the whole thing falls apart after Hugh’s death (he’d styled himself essentially as protector of the realm for the quote ‘true king’

There’s a whole bunch of other things that will come up in the modern day with this universes version of the Abdication in the 1930s but I will stop now! (Also the other thing to know about Hugh is that he has two children he loves deeply - his son ended up in luxurious exile and never had children but his daughter had three daughters of her own but because Restorationists do not accept inheritance through the female line they are never going to be able to be held up as heirs which is a whole other Fuckery related to the abdication).

#lil and her ridiculous aus #ot3: political power trio #meme #tudors ot3 verse reference #i have so many notes tumblr so many #basically it’s a backlash to progress that ultimately does not win and in fact gets smacked down but it is still unfortunately a minority #(And it really is a minority like)#(There are people casually into it for the aesthetic - modern day restorationist rep is like Edwardian/1920s Old Money Vibes)#(Because when the restorationists realised they were out of power a lot of them fucked off to Monacco/various enclaves in Europe)#(With their money)#(people are very much working on getting people out of there and there are laws etc about education that are enforced)#(but the enclaves are A Problem)

my favourite historical era to daydream about is that span of a few decades between 1890 and 1914ish. late victorian, fin de siècle, edwardian. there’s just something so exciting about it. the world on the brink of radical change, of catastrophe and decimation but they don’t know that for now, the twentieth century hasn’t been inaugurated as the bloodiest quite yet, all that looms ahead is a boundless bouquet of potential, invention, adventure. a turning point in time. spiritualism and the hereafter are in the air all clashing and collaborating and cooperating with rationality and progress and scientific advancement, technology and faith, mysticism and machines, the arts marching on into modernism and abstraction but not quite yet; there’s a future on your doorstep, the air is full of love and precognition and imagination. get out there in your hot air balloon and watch the world turn on its axis, holding its breath

also the fashion’s pretty cool

#basically. basically charley pollard gets it right. if i was from the 1930s i’d have misplaced nostalgia for the preceding decade(s) too #and call myself an #edwardian #fin de siècle #1890s #1900s #1910s #belle epoque #victorian #history #fashion #art history #modernism #writing #jamie.txt #jamiecore

This is a gorgeous Edwardian home in Australia that was given historic status. However, it was completely renovated and reconfigured, and I learned that in Australia, as long as the façade is intact on an historic property, it doesn’t matter what you do behind it. Look at what they did.

As you can see, this is the back of the home.

If you like Edwardian design, this isn’t the house for you. But, if you like modern, then it is.

The marble in the kitchen is amazing, but I still can’t understand why you would take an historic home and make it like a new build.

The original stained glass windows were saved in this bedroom, and possibly the original molding. Then again, maybe they had to save the windows b/c they’re on the front of the house.

Another bedroom, which may be the main one- there are 5.

There are 3 ultra modern baths.

A family room with original windows.

Finished attic room.

This beautiful porch and small garden are in front.

This will sound strange, but I love steampunk furniture and jewelry. The FASHION on the other hand... Imagine if everyone ran around in their Spanx with discarded flash drive pieces sewn in. It's bad.

See, here's the thing.

I first got into steampunk back in like 2008, when it leaned more heavily towards actual Victorian inspiration. As in, outfits that resembled Victorian clothing- not just Victorian underwear or even modern underwear with absolutely no relation to anything Victorian (re: feminine looks) or modern suits with top hats (re: masculine looks). The pinup or modern/minimal looks existed, but they weren't all you ever saw.

And. That seems to have changed significantly.

Of course people can wear what they want. I'm not the fashion police. If "modern bustier and hotpants bedazzled with clock parts" or "normal dress shirt and slacks but with a pocket watch" makes someone happy, more power to them. ...but I do reserve the right to, very subjectively, be all You Kids Get Off My Lawn about that very specific sub-style taking over the public perception of steampunk.

I prefer my Inherently Victorian-Inspired Aesthetic to have at least a nodding acquaintance with, you know, Victorian things. But that's just me.

#ask #anon #steampunk #I feel like some people don't even realize it's supposed to be Victorian or Edwardian these days?#like. the 'steam' part comes from steam power- and by extension the eras in which that was most commonly used #it's always been as much about the era aesthetics as much as the technology #it was coined as a term for like...Jules Verne's novels and other late 19th/early 20th century sci-fi #or modern works with that same Vibe

‘No less believable, because he had heard it from “person’s of honour”, was the tradition that Protector Somerset had observed “a bloody sword come out of the wall”, prophesying his own decapitation’.

- D.R Woolf, ‘The “Common Voice”: History, Folklore and Oral Tradition in Early Modern England’, p. 49.

(They should’ve put this in Becoming Elizabeth. For the drama of it all)

one thing about me is that I hardly *ever* wear skirts these days. but I cannot possibly overstate how much I need to sew myself an Edwardian walking skirt.

#I think a large reason why I don't wear them often is bc I struggle to find ones that I think really look good on me in modern styles #but I LOVE vintage skirts and I think I would wear something like an Edwardian walking skirt #especially when I want to be DramatiqueTM #it takes what like 50 yards of fabric to make one??#(another reason I'm not comfortable wearing skirts a lot is bc I have a persistent and intense fear of people Looking Up It #anytime I'm wearing one #this of course is not a problem with a very long skirt and even *less* of a problem with a very long AND very full skirt #you can sit literally anyway your heart desires and there is NO fear of anyone peeking bc it literally is not possible!!#there is just So Much Fabric!!!)#gurt says stuff #vintage fashion #clothes #historical fashion
