✸ vintage black beauty is live!

i've been asked where/how to find early-mid 20th century images of black people to reference when drawing/writing/whatever, so i figured i'd link to my own personal resource anyone is welcome to utilize! :)

with over 900 pins and counting, this pinterest board focuses entirely on black style from the 1800s - 1970s. it’s been harder than ever to research historical fashion without running into AI, misinformation, and flat out mislabeling of different eras, so i’ve done my best to represent each period as accurately as i can.

i’ve included sections for non-caricatured art and illustration, print media, music, entertainment, styling tools, and ads. there are also sections for period pieces and more modern takes on vintage style. i did not add the 80s and 90s because there's already a wealth of imagery and information about those decades, but maybe one day :)

*NOTE: i am not a professional archivist or historian! just a black american passionate about my history. as such, this board is heavily centered on black americans and afro-caribbeans, although there are photos from across the diaspora, including africa and the UK.

*additionally: pins on pinterest come from all over and may not always have the correct information, depending on who uploaded it. while i’ve taken great lengths to research undated photos, some categorized pins are educated guesses based on the hair, fashion, or photography style of the photo. uncategorized pins are photos i can’t confidently connect to a specific decade without potentially mislabeling.

with this in mind, this board acts as a handy visual guide, but should be used in addition to your own research. happy researching! 🖤

Hi chizuru 😳

[lynettethemadscientist]

(spoilers for Nagakura’s route in Hakuoki)

So I recently finished Shinpachi Nagakura’s route in Hakuoki (which has destroyed me btw)

And I just found out that Nagakura was never meant to be a route in the first place. He was originally a supporting character who only became romanceable in the 2017 release of the game.

And there is something SO tragic about that.

Let’s put aside the fact that they kill him even though the real life Nagakura survived the Boshin War.

AND let’s put aside the fact that he is forced to become a fury despite the fact that he is the ONE warrior who explicitly stated that he hates these experiments and would rather die than become one.

AND let’s put aside the fact that his ending doesn’t even confront his feelings on having been forcefully turned into a fury and just glosses over it (apparently the sequel fixes this. I haven’t played it yet).

All of these things are really tragic (and blindsided me tbh and my heart is still aching)

But it is particularly tragic that Nagakura was originally relegated to a mere comic relief side character despite the fact that he is arguably the reason this game can exist.

Almost all of what we know about the Shinsengumi is from what Nagakura wrote down post-war. This game owes him everything and gave him so little. And what little they did eventually give him was poorly written and punishingly cruel.

And on a personal note, it just really hurts to find out that my heart is bleeding for a man that I was never meant to love.

また欲しいのか…🍙

Little doodle inspired by yesterday's interaction between Kubota and Ruri (I translated it on my other blog yesterday). I had a few ideas, but I assume they're in their after story era now, so I settled for this. I've also been really tired lately, and they're pretty easy to draw.
