I always thought that “woman pulls something out of her cleavage” was really just sort of a cliche historically
But nope
I’m reading this incredibly niche book about the history of pockets, and there is a picture of a pair of stays from the 18th century that someone sewed a giant pocket inside of
It was apparently a big thing for women who wanted to keep their money safe or to steal it off of other people and hide it quickly
INCREDIBLE

Wtf do u even mean “the thread of prophecy is severed” if the grand design is so fragil as to come unraveled by th severing of a single thread then maybe there’s a better Destiny in store for those who hold tha scissors -_-
