To have lived long enough to watch the Love & Deepspace game and fandom absolutely crash out.
The amount of UNINSTALL / DON'T UNINSTALL / BOYCOTT ENTIRELY / DON'T DO THAT posts on my dash as well as my Instagram. 😵💫
The posts from the official account cancelling Valko's launch, the investigative deep dives being performed for international audiences about the Chinese audience's issues with his character, the game's use of the number A0731 as a placeholder number for human trials(?!) in the storyline...
It is absolute chaos and I've never been in a fandom experiencing something like this (I know many have, this is just my first time)
He's doing the best he can with the tools he's been given... "I can fix him while simultaneously being given the freedom to live outside the strictures of society"
Me, finally getting into Kdramas: "idk how they have such a chokehold on me since I started watching a year ago!
Also Me: grew up on BBC period pieces, watched The Office for Jim and Pam, loved The West Wing and waited 6 seasons for Josh Lyman and Donna to get together...
Currently watching The Matchmakers (2019) and I need to say that whoever says Rowoon can't act is incorrect.
After watching That Winter, the Wind Blows, I needed a laugh and this is just the thing. The FL is phenomenal as well and I can't wait to get into ep. 3
Is it weird that I've started checking actors' ages in romance kdramas before I tune in because sometimes I just don't want to be watching a show and realize they're 15 years younger than me?
(unless it's a coming of age story, and I know what I've signed up for)
Don't want to accidentally be falling in love with youths 🤣
The story of the modern suit begins with tight pants, as men’s legs became markers of class, civility, and sexuality.
Curious about the LEG-acy of the early modern suit? You've stumbled on the right post. 🦵
This new article in JSTOR Daily explains how fitted breeches and visible calves played an important role in shaping ideas about masculinity, class, and social belonging. The early modern suit developed alongside seventeenth- and eighteenth-century expectations about how men should appear in public, including how much of the body could be seen and how that body should be read by others.
Visible legs were closely tied to ideals of strength and grace. Well-shaped calves suggested physical capability and skill in dancing, both of which carried social implications. Pale, smooth silhouettes echoed classical art and reinforced ideas about refinement that were deeply shaped by race and empire.
If you’d like to see where the argument gets its legs, the article links directly to scholarly material on JSTOR.
