u know someone’s about to get dragged through the mud when an academic uses the phrase ‘it’s tempting to assume’
“it’s tempting to assume” is academic speaking for “you might think, if you’re a fucking idiot,”
obsessed with the era of historical fashion between the 1860s and 1870s where aniline dyes kept being invented. you can find some absolute fucking eyesores of dresses that were only made that way because “acid magenta” was invented last month and it was trendy.
like this iconic gown:
or this one from the 1870s in aniline purple and aniline black:
or a trendy yellow and black gown from c. 1865, perhaps?
feel free to reblog with additional eyesores (affectionate) that i might have missed

At the time I made this post I couldn’t find any historical clothing in acid magenta. However, this dress (via the Philadelphia Museum of Art) is probably close, as it’s also an aniline magenta.
I literally went to find this dress specifically to post it, damn it!
You're really gonna do this to me, aren't ya?

Damn. Well, I suppose that will be all right, seeing as you won't be playing. I will. You'll be watching... on the sidelines.
This thing, your mouth, its place. It’s what you do when you’re trying not to give yourself away. Not in the way that you do all the time, those empty, greedy grabs for you. I mean the truth of you. The weird, perfect shape of your heart. The one on the outside of your chest.

The talk about Mikoto and Fugaku taking Sasuke's teams as their own children will forever make my heart weak! Bonus: them making Sasuke embarrassed but happy.
