i want to make a 3d model of a lighthouse and a kraken so obviously i look up Barbados lighthouses and the oldest was built in the 1850s and NONE OF THEM look like the one in the show SO

i guess the closest from the painting would be South Point Light

which was built in 1852

also

idk what to make of this but this show doesnt give a shit about accuracy and i love it

Zukka week 2022

Day 6: accidental dating (or dads zukka)

Based on FLWOGB (@oldpotatoe), in one of the ways (I think, more headcanon) my favorite secondary character, Miura, noticing when Zuko and Sokka were flirting and practically acting like a couple.

And yes, also based in OFMD blackbonnet scene (love that coupleeeee❤).

[I love drawing Miura again, she is my favoriteeee!]

@zukkaweek

[ID: first drawing, showing a green/brown background, to be similar to a forest and a wood where Sokka and Zuko are sitting. Both are talking. Sokka is wearing his well-known water tribe robes, and Zuko a simple red/gold robe that remains a bit of his book 3 outfit, with the exception that Zuko's hair is more longer. Also both are with food or tea respectively. They seem happy together, with sparkle and little hearts around them.

In the second drawing, is Miura, OC from 'Feels like we only go backwards" by oldopotatoe in the middle, looking the interaction. She had a realization, and whispers "Oh Agni, this is happening", meanwhile Sokka and Zuko are smiling and blushing to each other, not noticing the Kyoshi Warrior. This two big obliviousness. END ID]

Educational Historical Videos for OMFD

As a historical costumer at times, and a historical writer a lot of the time, sometimes this is just the kind of thing I watch. Some of this I hunted up in particular. 

As we know, OFMD isn’t overly concerned with being too historically accurate, but I DO think that a good understanding of actual historical convention is a help rather than hindrance when writing/making art, so you can be inspired and know when to throw it out the window. 

Food:

Townsends (Historical food youtube channel and living historians focused on 18th century American settlers.  Very in depth and soothing content.)

Salt Pork Rations for Sailors, etc.

Grog as navy rations

Stockfish sailor rations.

Ship’s Biskit/Hard Tack  (Tasting History also has an ep on hard tack and grog, but I really like the accurate history of Townsends.

Sailor rations: burgoo (oatmeal)

They have a whole playlist of 18th century soldier’s rations videos.

Historical writing series (cutting quills, making ink, etc.)

(Their entire channel would be great for what people in the colonies on land would be eating.)

Clothing:

Gentleman getting dressed in 18th century with servant’s help

Here’s a man dressing himself (with rear nudity!)

This one isn’t as detailed but includes a woman and interesting shots of period makeup.

Nicole Rudolph’s OFMD themed look at Gentleman’s Dress in the OFMD time period.  Very detailed.

Her second video on what working class (i.e. most) pirates would have worn.

Also see the first video below for more historical pirate clothing.

Pirate Specific:

Gold and Gunpowder: a YT channel focused on historical piracy.  Good historical sources and attitude, although video quality isn’t the absolute highest at all times.

Pirate Clothes, Jewelry, Tattoos

A fascinating video on Blackbeard, including Stede Bonnet

Incredibly useful: Sections, Directions and Parts of a Pirate Ship

Also a whole video on Sloops, which is what the Revenge is

[mars-writes-1999]

the story im putting out tomorrow on @queer-triple-a for An Assumptive Anthology is maybe my favorite story I’ve written. It’s lesbians in victorian england. They’re gay and in love. I love them both with my whole heart and I cannot wait to share them!!!!! 

It also has a (not so subtle) OFMD reference, but I don’t remember if that’s in the first or the second part of it..........
