Steampunk Parade

"Steampunk is...a joyous fantasy of the past, allowing us to revel in a nostalgia for what never was. It is a literary playground for adventure, spectacle, drama, escapism and exploration. But most of all it is fun!" — George Mann

SCRIBE

A scrivener automaton working in a rather wealthy merchant’s library. The arcane procedures for creating automatons are as varied as their appearance and roles in society (servitors, military, labour, prostitution, etc). The taxidermic use of cured human remains is legalised, economical and common place in their construction (similar to how the powdered wigs in our past often used the hair of corpses). However the practice of “rendering” down living persons into an automaton state is outlawed, it is frequently employed since the resultant product tends to outperform the legal alternative. The merchant who owns this particular scribe automaton has some very extensive paperwork detailing her conformity to all applicable regulation. Despite this assurance, those who deal with her have noticed how quickly she learns new tasks, and have caught her smiling when backs are turned. [x]

Plague doctor sorta thing I did

This artifical limb was used by a person living in 1850-1910. Constructed from steel and brass, it is a fascinating object to look at. It appears like something from a steampunk horror movie, or a piece of art created by a student rather than a genuine artificial arm. It looks like it belongs in a fairy tale rather than in reality. Because of its unusual scary appearance, the wearer probably covered it with a jacket and glove. It is intriguing to know that these kind of objects were created back then. It brings up a lot of questions: is there a reason for the pattern in steel hand? Is it decorative or functional? How would you feel with a terrifying terminator (before terminator) style arm was at the end of your shoulder?

Pretty sure I need the third one, which features an underwater motif: coral, jellyfish, seaweed and even a lobster!

An Important Announcement

Well, hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been on this blog but I’ve been thinking lately about steampunk and something in me suddenly sparked, and consequently, it resulted in me logging on and making a decision. 

"Okay, but steampunkparade, what is the point of this ‘announcement’ and why is it so important?" I hear you asking and squinting at your screen, so I’ll get to the point. 

I’ve decided to renovate the blog! Exciting, right? Or, okay, not really. It’s not so important either. Hm. Maybe I should’ve thought about this more thoroughly. 

Anyway. Since there’s quite a few of you, I’ve decided to become a more active blog with more than just pretty steampunk pictures. I thought it would be fun to include things like links to short stories/novels/movies/music/comics of steampunk related things, accept submissions of YOUR steampunk things, promote stores that sell steampunk related things, etc. All sorts of steampunk things. I’m also considering posting my own steampunk works, but hey, no promises. 

So! That’s about it, really. Gonna change things up, become more active and put more work into this blog. Maybe actually even work out a tagging system. Who knows what else I’ll put up here? 

tl;dr: I’m going to try and improve this blog, and if you have any suggestions or would like to promote your steampunk self/works/etc, or anything along those lines, please, please, please send me a message!
