Ehhh?

I read your blog information and I also really love the Middle Ages! what is something you particularly like? or wish you could see more in media in which the Middle Ages are discussed?

The very messy marriage situation isn't used nearly enough. People could agree to get married without any witnesses or the church, and it wasn't uncommon for people to do that, then like the guy would deny they did it so he could marry someone else. The church really tried to get a hold of things, it's why it became a thing to announce to the church three Sundays in a row that you were getting married, so if you married someone else they could tell on you and such.

That said, there's something just wonderful about the idea of a couple in a stressful situation where all they have is each other, in a candle lit barn on the way to what could be death, saying whispered vows of devotion. I think this whole thing could be used way more.

Also I want more accurate clothing and hair. Give us the silly hats, cowards, hair shouldn't be so loose and visible. Let clothing be colorful, peasants dyed things too. Alack, modern fashions will always get in the way.

Embroidered head cloths and bag at the Museum of Scotland. Aren't they just beautiful? The dyes there in front of the second one is 1800s but the head wraps are 1500s if I remember correctly. Renaissance, but still, they are my beloved.

hey sweetie <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 don't hurt yourself. it's gonna be okay. you're a very beautiful and kind and vibrant young woman and I love seeing your face on my dashboard. you're not useless, you're not a waste of space, and to be honest I should have said this much earlier, instead of waiting for you to ask. <3

It's okay. I don't really get a lot of ic stuff, let alone ooc stuff. Most of the time I'm okay with that, but tonight I feel very alone unwanted. I just feel like I shouldn't even cosplay because that takes time away from important things like cleaning because that's all my mom seems to care that I do.

The Experimental Plastic House //  Saint Petersburg 1962

Almost all the “filling” was made of plastic: windows - from plexiglass, pipes - from vinyl plastic, wallpaper - from PVC film.

Journal “Technology of Youth”

As of yesterday, I have officially applied for grad school. Everyone send me some good vibes or thoughts or prayers or whatever you feel most suitable! I really really want to get into this school.

These past four years have been extremely hard for me. We were in a really bad financial state with my dad on disability and my mom out of work, and my dad was very ill with kidney and heart failure and in and out of the hospital. Then my mom good a job last winter, then the plague hit, then we moved, then my dad died. It has been a fight to stay in school, to do well enough to graduate. It feels like every semester is a boss battle and I'm doing my best to stay afloat. It's been hell, it really has, but I'm doing my best, I'm pushing through, and now I'm getting ready for grad school and graduation.

If I can make it through this, I can make it through anything, and we'll all get through this together. Have faith in yourself! And wish me luck on getting in, this is a big deal.

Please don't reblog!

My bracers! I'm pretty proud of these because I designed them myself.

I painted Supernatural fanart for Mother's Day and my mom loved it.
