I just want to talk about Regency court dress for a minute

aethelfleds:

It’s been discussed here before, but good lord. I love seeing pictures of English court dress from the Regency era. I mean look at this

This happened because the ageing Queen Charlotte just could not BEAR to part with her 18th century hoops when the fashions started changing. And since the Queen was the deciding factor in what ladies of the court wore..

What is this supposed to…What?

Someone stop this I feel ill

LET IT DIE CHARLOTTE

Literally one of my favourite facts ever is that J. M. Barrie, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, P. G. Wodehouse, A. A. Milne, as well as the son of Alfred Tennyson and many others played on the same amateur cricket team AND THEY WERE TERRIBLE how great is that

I’ve reblogged it before, I’ll reblog it again.

Vegan cheese in French is apparently called faux mage and if that’s not an awesome word play I don’t know what is.

Sure, cats falling off things is funny, but NOTHING is funnier than robots miscalculating the speed, force or angle needed to complete a mundane task. NOTHING.

I am old (well, for Tumblr), but I remember the smog-filled years. I remember seeing orange scum floating in the lake near me and in pretty much every other waterway. I remember Love Canal. I remember not being able to open the windows when we drove through large parts of the city.

While I am often nostalgic, these are not times I remember with any fondness.

If you were going to direct a production of Hamlet, what’s an unusual interpretation or decision you would put into your production?

froborr:

The play-within-a-play is replaced by a complete performance of Love’s Labours Lost, the play within that is replaced by a complete performance of Midsummer Night’s Dream, the play within that is replaced by a complete performance of Hamlet, the doors are locked and the cycle of plays-within-plays continues until everyone in the audience and all the performers are dead.
