✨ KIM KIBUM’S HOLY RETRO TRILOGY ✨

Service dogs training to sit through a movie at a theater.

[driftwooddragons]

It’s actually better than that - the picture comes from dogs being trained to sit through a PLAY… which means there are actors on the stage performing a musical for a theatre full of dogs.

Incredible vital update, it was a performance of Billy Elliot.

Only good thing about Christmas time is I get to hear carol of the bells all the time but the bad part is I have to act normal like that song doesn’t go hard as fuck

[metfell]

Every other Christmas song is like la la la I love you christmassss or oh jesussss I love youuu meanwhile carol of the bells is like fire shooting out of a flaming skull but it’s like in a snow globe it’s like a fucking boss track

[a-dot-dev]

Its cause its a christianized Ukrainian new years song- originally called Shchedryk / The Little Swallow it was "adapted" and given new lyrics that had nothing to do with the original ones.

we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme

[lloerwyn-deactivated20201104]

Ah yes, those slutty slutty Landsknecht shorts:

[petermorwood]

The bare-legged / hot-pants look was fairly common, since the whole point about being a Landsknecht (or Reislaufer, their Swiss equivalent) was to look outrageous.

Most period illustrations of Landsknechts are black-and-white woodcuts…

…though in 1905 a book called „Geschichte des Kostüms“ - History of Costume - assembled a bunch of black-and-whites and added colour.

If they look excessively gaudy, they’re not, because these next prints were coloured in-period by an artist called Erhard Schön, and it’s fair to assume he was representing what he saw.

In short - or in shorts - those reenactor costumes are spot on. :->

Something mentioned nowhere in this post that I have just learned from googling: these guys were not Ye Olde Medieval Dandies. They were 15th-16th century mercenaries. Pretty hardcore, too. They were exempt from sumptuary laws (ie the rules that said you couldn’t wear certain colours or cloth or styles) and apparently their response to that was technicolour thotpants.

[irelyre]

You know, lots of ‘operators’ (seal team six and friends) are exempt from military dress codes. Mostly they just grow a beard.

I hate to say it but RETVRN?

[nicasiosilang]

I was like “but why” and The Art Institute of Chicago told me: because YOLO 🤷‍♂️.

These German mercenary foot soldiers behaved badly and wore whatever they wanted because their life expectancy was brief at best.

Indeed, when Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I formed the first Landsknecht company in 1487, he intentionally exempted them from the harsh sumptuary laws of the time. Rather, because their lives tended to be “brutish and short,” Maximilian urged them to wear distinctively outlandish garb.
