How would modern Philip look like with long hair?

Like the sweet boy he used to be (:

STOP putting Astarion in DOG COLLARS.

START putting Astarion in CAT EAR HEADBANDS.

Ok so I’m incredibly hyperfixated ok RDR2 rn so I was brainstorming a modern AU. As as I was thinking about the character dynamics between people, I made the realization that the Van Der Linde gang functions like a cult.

It lacks the religious angle, but if you switch out the religion for the belief in Dutch’s ideals, it’s totally a cult. Someone probably has pointed this out already but I have so many thoughts!!! Anyway I think the true RDR2 modern AU is one in which Dutch is a cult leader and the Pinkertons are the ATF. Will definitely ramble more about this when I have more time

political compass of historical figures that are the subject of notable modern day deeply unhinged apologist personality cults

You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important. - Georges St-Pierre

I think if Mr. Bingley was living in our present era he would be a hip hop dancer.

I don't know much about LOTR but I know Aragorn's weird. He's a weirdo. He doesn't fit in. Have you ever seen him without that stupid helmet? Wait no don't kick that

lmfaoooo

my great hope is that everyone who has not yet watched lotr now observing my unhinged posts will be compelled to watch lotr. i feel this way not only because i think its a beautiful story but also and more pragmatically because i genuinely think that for whatever flaws it may have its a very special phenomenon in filmmaking history.

(i would never presume to insist anyone has to read the books. theyre bangers though)

that said if you, gentle reader, never do watch lotr. and ur seeing my crazy posts. yes. the biggest takeaway from all of this is indeed that aragorn, prophesied king of the realm and the best dude you will ever meet, is a weirdo

many tolkien characters are weirdos in out-of-story-context. and then several tolkien characters are weirdos in in-story-context, too, which makes them great fun. in fact, it could be argued that there's so much cross-cultural race and power-level mixing in the proverbial dnd party (and all subsequent side quests), that every single character is at one point perceived as a massive weirdo by any other given character in the story.

and theyre all the good guys <3

i know nothing of evolution but i think it would be cool to speculate abt it for betazoids…like. theyre amphibious of course. the stalk (part of my design) on the back of their head is used to broadcast thoughts, and the hairs are used to sense others. i think it would be they only developed a language after they began making contact with other species, because they wouldnt have any need for one otherwise

You made a post stating that pierced ears weren’t accepted in America from the 20s to 60s, but I was under the impression that many women, esp in the 40s and 50s, often wore classic Pearl or diamond stud earrings. Have I been deceived by Hollywood again?? :c

Clip-ons and screw-backs, my dear Anon!

(Screw-back earrings, c. 1950s)

Piercing your ears was frowned upon, but wearing earrings remained wildly popular. I don't understand the logic here, since it looks functionally identical to wearing pierced earrings in practice, but apparently that was A-okay.

Earring clamped onto your ear? Fine! That exact same earring going through your ear? DIRTY AND/OR FOREIGN HARLOT.

Make it make sense.

(Pierced earrings DID still exist, since some women- for cultural or personal reasons -bucked the zeitgeist. But they were by far the less common of the two options.)

(Also, clips and screw-backs hurt in my experience. Like. You have your ear pinched in a vise for as long as you're wearing them, basically. My mom, born 1953, remembers Grandma taking her clip earrings off the second she got home from a party, always. And yet I saw clips advertised as "torture-free" earrings in a 1930s ad. Yes, skip the torture of like 30 seconds with a needle for the comfort and ease of clamping something heavy onto your ear with sheer pressure, all day long.)

(The whole "pierced ears bad" fad makes about the least sense to me of any fashion-related historical Hot Take.)

some other possible career paths for the crows: jesper as a teacher for the ten year old ish crowd (has fun socks and suits in all themes a la his icon miss frizzle, plans ludicrously over-the-top fun volcano demonstrations and greek-and-roman toga days, kids LOVE him), nina as an actual literal witch, inej and matthias as firefighter bros (inej loves the firehouse pole and axing doors down, matthias loves introducing field trip groups to Spots the Firehouse Dog), Nina as a sex ed teacher, wylan as a constantly beleaguered IT guy trying to tell shouty corporate dudes they just need to turn their laptops off and on again. kaz is always just some guy who runs a bar with a sticky floor
