Hi! I have seen your posts about the names of different types of hanfu. Would it be possible to make one (or two separate for men and women garments ?) about which types of hanfu were worn in which period? Some are easy to find, and you do mention dynasties, but sometimes it's difficult to say if something was worn in several periods, or when different types of hanfu were worn in the same period.

Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (Yuan dynasty-style hanfu photo via 随机打劫)

To be honest, I put off responding initially because making such posts felt too overwhelming for me ^^;; However, @peekofhistory has exactly the kind of posts you're looking for - please check out her Masterpost, which provides links to informative, illustrated posts on the types of hanfu worn during each dynasty/time period (for both men and women). So far, she's covered: Warring States/Qin/Han Dynasties, Weijin + North/South Dynasties, Sui/Tang/Five Dynasties, and Song Dynasty.

Hope this helps!

Look at his little face! I have another cat, do you want more pictures of this fluffy one for the moment, or do you want to see the other one now? C.

Oh, I think I misunderstood your last message. I thought you were going to send a different cat picture before this one.

The cat is still cute though, yes.

@thestateofardadreaming see, that’s why you need to come with me to a reenactment event!

But then, I won’t feel like a ghost stuck in the wrong era nor like a heroine from a gothic novel. 

Je saiiiiiis! Un jour!

Continuing from this.

Ford, you're making me cry here. It's probably a good time to say that I hope Nora is well, and that I'm sorry that I wasn't very helpful, but also that I don't want you around just when something is happening. You're not a mystery to be solved, you're a beloved friend that I love and will miss very much... C.

She is. She woke up from the coma, and she’s doing alright. I’m not sure if we ever mentioned it.

I’m sorry, maybe I’m being a bit infectious here with my own circumstances. I’ll miss you.

I think I started following you because I didn't want to risk missing new panels of THE comic (the angsty fishing-then-kidnapping, you know the one), but frankly it could have been for any of your GF art. It's just... so GOOD! What I love apart from your art is how people send you headcanons and you give your ideas on those. And you're a nice person, and it's always great to see your posts.

😶 !!! Thank you so much! :'D I do love getting headcanons or scenarios because you guys come up with really good ideas and fuels my love for the boys even more XD

Is that one of the best possible way to just mention casually that "so you see I'm from Tatooine too oh and by the way I'm from your family... guess who ?" without anyone else even realising it was said at all or is it just me?

Honestly yes, this would be pretty amazing.

Also, a great addition to a double agent’s repertoire. Secret communication via food! Decorate your dinner table with some flowers and communicate in Naboo flower language at the same time!

Oh hello Fiddleford! I'm C. (she/her, ace, biromantic) and it's nice to meet you! I'm glad that Ford's visit seems to be going well - even if you had to take care of that doll (at this point, I'm just glad it couldn't do much and is gone now). I'm the weird cat person, as you probably already know (sorry about that...), and I'm a librarian. I also do medieval reenactment in my spare time (well, when there isn't a pandemic going on at least). I hope you got a good night of sleep! C.

Nice to meet you, C. I don't really understand what all was happening with the cat thing, but I'm not concerned about it either or nothing.

The less said about that doll, the better, I think. Ha.

Medieval reenactments are fun. There aren't any ones close to where I'm at now, but you know I think thats a vacation we gotta take sometime soon. I think Tate's starting to get to the age where he'll enjoy stuff. Maybe keep to the calmer stuff for a few years though.
