Viking dresses by Savelyeva Ekaterina

Another visual demonstration that historical clothing wasn’t dingy and monochrome.

All of these colours can be obtained from vegetable dyes, producing different shades depending on what mordant (colour fixative - alum, different metal filings, different vinegars) was used. See here and here for examples.

BRING THIS FASHION BACK.

Not clothes, but this was a palette developed by the National Museum of Denmark based on paint residue from archaeological finds for the purpose of painting a reconstructed hall.

Apparently, they can tell from the chemical composition that the colours wouldn’t be mixed with black or white to mute them, but be used in their brightest form. Bright yellow and red was achieved with expensive dyes (orpiment and cinnabar) and was thus fashionable. (Source in Danish)

What is a man? An ecstatic little pile of pigments.

^reblogging for that comment

Forever reminder that the ancient world was colorful everywhere, and every attempt to brownwash it in modern fiction is sheer laziness.

they put crack in fire emblem or something bc whenever i describe it to customers it sounds so boring but when I move Gerbardo WarCrimo to D7 I’ve never felt so invigorated

#ugh sooo true #war and strategy but also the feeling of progress of building an army of little guys with desires and experiences

Woke up from a weird nap and saw this reel and it's making me feel like I need to get up and walk for like an hour

#bro adult life be hitting me in the face violently with a hammer #what do you mean I have to learn how to cope with people or situations not meeting my expectations and hold love while setting boundaries #what do you mean I cant convince others to stay in my life or share my standards #yet still wake up each day with vulnerability and optimism. willing to take on the risks and challenges needed #to build myself a safe place to grow

fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!

Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr. Please warn them about this as well.

Thank you! I’ve been looking for the TERF-free version of this.

Hey! I’m the age of some of your moms and aunts and the OG version of this post helped me catch my cancer in 2023. I had a hysterectomy at the beginning of 2024 and I’ve been cancer-free since then. If I hadn’t read this information, I wouldn’t have reported bleeding to the next doctor I saw. I might have died, and I probably would have had to undergo chemo and/or radiation, both of which I avoided.

Keep the reblogs going to save a life!
