Random things I like

Art and crafts, books and fandoms. An English teacher once told me that my fictional story was "too far fetched", I think she had no imagination.

Not posted my own work on tumblr for a long time, but thought the tumblr community might like to see the little goat with wings I crocheted. The goat kid is from @rainbowrowell Any Way The Wind Blows, I named it Rosebud 🐐🌹

I post my crochet work on Instagram @wellihadmyfun

I wanna hear these Opinions on steampunk color palettes, if you’re willing.

tbh “the Victorians did not go to the trouble of inventing aniline dyes so that we could wear neutrals” mostly covers it?

they went to a lot of effort to bring affordable screaming bright fuchsias and acid greens into the world, and we should honor their tacky, tacky choices.

[captainlordauditor]

let’s not forget the tacky patterns, too

oh yeah

oh fuck yeah

(TELL ME that last one isn’t a steampunk look. just try and tell me)

[nonasuch]

yes! thank you, these are EXACTLY what i meant. tomorrow I’ll take a picture of the bafflingly tacky goldenrod-and-maroon gown I’ve got at the shop

also

this is wise, and correct.

[gothiccharmschool]

This is 100% true.

Oh no, no those are tasteful compared to what wild color shenanigans the 19th century got up to.  Most of them being mid-century are only ~2 colors excepting the plaid.  By the 1890s, five colors per dress was the fashion.  They…didn’t all coordinate the way we would.  

PUMPKIN WORTH

I have seen mid-century dresses in electric blue.  Barbie pink

Black with photo-realistic brocade oranges.  Royal purple with GIANT POLKA DOTS.

Hey hey did you know lime green and lavender was a favorite color combo in 1895?

This one is not so much tacky as…vibrant

Okay at ~1903 it’s not really Victorian but I love the melting ice cream explosion look of it

This dress has faded but it would have originally been a quite eye-catching shade of violet.

Not that past eras were any less fond of colors even if they weren’t artificial dyes.  I’ve seen canary yellow Regency dresses and an 18th century man’s coat in turquoise velvet printed with leopard spots.  Steampunk isn’t really Victorian so much as it is ‘drapery store vomited on a sexy colorblind school marm’

Et le piece de resistance…

Yes, those orange blocks are outlined in green chenille fringe.

brb, saving that green one to my ‘Malfoy estate sale’ pinterest board

[paperbacksandvinyls]

don’t get me STARTED on Victorian love of color in fashion…here are some of my favorites I’ve saved (some actual dresses and some from fashion prints):

I’d also like people to remember that in the 1860s the Garibaldi shirt (the precursor to the modern blouse) was a very popular look and involved wearing a bright red blouse often with a black or dark patterned skirt but the top was usually a glaring red with little black/white/gold trim

And some people still think that Frozen would have a homosexual background…

(I bet you can find some homosexuality in every story Mr. Anderson wrote…)

[nicollekidman]

all the reviews for atomic blonde are like “its an empty aesthetic film where charlize theron just dresses up in nice clothes, kicks the shit out of dudes, and has random sex scenes with women” as if that wasn’t my dream action movie
