THIS IS NOT VICTORIAN

Anonymous asked: would a wealthy victorian child have more friends tan a poor victorian child?

It would honestly depend on the child. A rich child in a social family would most likely spend time with a lot of the children of their parents’ acquaintances, but would also be limited to children in their own class.

Poor children didn’t usually have as many chances to meet others their own age, with many not going to school and many also already had jobs. But a poor child would also often be able to run around and meet other children more freely.

Of course, I’m not a scholar, so don’t take my word as law. If you’re really interested, go to the library and check out a book on children in the Victorian era. Good luck!

Anonymous asked: HOW VERY DARE YOU PUT SOME POSTS THAT CORRECTLY POINT OUT SHIT THAT ISN'T VICTORIAN IN A MILDLY SNARKY FASHION. SNARK IS SERIOUS BUSINESS AFTER ALL

mumbling-mice asked: I LIKE HOW WHEN YOU COMMENT ON POSTS YOU TYPE IN CAPSLOCK BUT OFTEN STILL MANAGE TO SLIP IN SOME SORT OF COMPLIMENT TO THE ORIGINAL PHOTO. IT'S VERY COURTEOUS AND ALSO ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.

This ask made my day.
 

the-milk-eyed-mender asked: you seem unnecessarily impassioned about images that were obviously tagged "victorian" because they were drawing from what the person interpreted as a victorian aesthetic, not because they were actually literally victorian artifacts or a strictly faithful reconstructions

I’m not unnecessarily impassioned about images that were inspired by something, I’m impassioned by an era that I adore and I hate to see misappropriated.

I feel like I need to start a tag for these asks.
