  • Hey so it's come to my attention that the Creators of Disco Elysium want you to share the game and not give the company who took over and fired them (illegally)?) any profits off of their ideas and work, and I originally joined tumblr 2 weeks ago when that post was going around about the Steam sale and how you should [Skull and Crossbones flag] it instead.

    So.

    in light of that.

    Check the replies/notes of this post :)

    fenris literally said "i'm completely fucked❤️" and then decided to translate it in the most romantic way possible.

  • ok I don't have anything new to say about how Fenris and Anders were missed opportunity character foils but bioware really did miss the opportunity of making fenris feel very conflicted about the fact that in the south people probably just assume he's an apostate mage. i think you ask him once if he's using magic and he's like NO it's TATTOOS but dude they are magic tattoos and you did have to learn to control them. and to any onlooker? man has glowy abilities that let him go fast and buff his own stamina and basically fade step and also phase through people. they are dangerous abilities he can't always control when he's angry and they are very flashy and blue. people seeing him would just assume. they'd tack on anti-mage sentiment to their elf racism, aveline has to cover for him already but templar carver probably is too. the markings are a part of him he didn't ask for that he can't put down. they give him unnatural power at all times. they exist to make him a dangerous weapon and he resents them but they are also beautiful and help him every day. not even anders brings this up in an argument.

    Something Good – Negro Kiss is a short film from 1898 of a couple kissing and holding hands. It is believed to depict the earliest on-screen kiss involving African Americans and is known for departing from the prevalent and purely stereotypical presentation of racist caricature in popular culture at the time it was made.

    “There seemed to be something a lot more intimate and having more to do with self-presentation. And that’s unlike anything I had seen from that period when all moving picture images of African Americans were through a white lens and are distortions, misrepresentations, or pseudo anthropological. And this is none of that.”

    1. this is adorable
    2. love that you can see that there's a whole padded understructure holding those sleeve caps up on her dress
    3. his collar has stripes!!! 😍 

    It's hard to be sure it's true in the above, but during this era cuffs and collars were often sold separately and attached to the main shirt body with buttons or studs. This was mainly because cuffs and collars got dirty & wore out more quickly, but it also allowed a pretty quick and easy way to change up your style. I've never seen an ad for stripped cuffs or collars, but it tracks that it would also be an easy way to incorporate 'novelty fashion' into an outfit without breaking the bank. More in-depth overview & writeup on Victorian/Edwardian collars here: x

    here's a Sears & Roebuck ad, also from 1898:

    Hell, I'd be hype for this even if it weren't a true story!

  • For people who don't know who the Chevalier St George was:

    - he was the son of a french aristocrat and an enslaved Senegalese woman called Nanon

    - he actually had a relationship with his mother, which was pretty usual for children in his situation. I haven't been able to establish whether she was later freed or not, but I think she was because she left a will, suggesting she owned property

    - his father legally wasn't allowed to make him his heir because of racist laws at the time, but he acknoledged him as his son and gave him a rich person's education and opportunities

    - he was one of, if not the, greatest violinists of his generation, played first violin for the Paris opera and was violin teacher to the queen before the revolution

    - he was in line to be composer and director of the opera but a famous dancer who was pissed off he didn't want a relationship with her started a petition to get his appointment blocked

    - he knew Haydn and commissioned the Paris Symphonies from him

    - Mozart's father tried to make him go and see St George perform because he thought it would be good for his musical education but Mozart was (it is speculated) jealous of there being another young music prodigy, and refused to go

    - he was ridiculously handsome . Look at this, my guy is pulling off a powdered wig, do you know how hard it is to look good in a powdered wig?!

    A portrait of le Chevalier St George by Matthew Brown from 1787. He is a handsome light skinned black man wearing a white wig and a red jacket. He is holding a fencing rapier.ALT

    - he was considered one of the greatest duelists and swordsmen in france

    - he fought a duel with the Chevalier D'eon, who at the time was living as a woman (we have no idea if D'eon was afab or amab but they made their reputation as a man and then later switched to presenting as a woman)

    - he wrote incredible concertos and unbelievably terrible operas. The longest any of his opera's ever ran before being shut down was a couple of weeks. Some one lasted 1 night. He kept writing them.

    - he joined the revolutionaries to otherthrow the king because they (falsely) promised to abolish slavery and emancipate all enslaved people

    - he was a fantastically successful soldier and lead the first all black regiment in europe, which came to be known as the regiment st George in his honour

    A painting of a duel at Carlton House between le Chevalier St George, a young black man, and le Chevalier D'Eon, an older white person dressed in a black gownALT

    He's legitimately one of the most interesting figures in french history, and certainly one of the most romantic, and I'm so glad he might finally be getting the recognition he deserves!

    [ID: youtube comment from Hal Sawyer:

    My favorite relic English still used everywhere is the word “the” used in phrases like: “the more I look at this, the stranger it seems, or “the bigger they come, the harder they fall”. This “the” is not the article of any noun, it is a different word, a conjunction descended from the old English “þā”, pronounced “tha” which means either “when” or “then”. Back in early Middle English the structure “if - then” had not taken over and if you wanted to express an if - then relationship you said “þā whatever, þā whatever”, meaning “when such-and- such, then such-and-such”. “þā” sounds almost the same as “the” and the spelling of the two converged, but the meaning remained totally different. “the more, the merrier” literally means “when more, then merrier” or “if more, then merrier’; same as centuries ago.
