Please don't send me chain mail stuff! Even when it's positive it, the whole chain mail thing has such a bad connotation because of the scary stuff that I have to delete them. It makes me low key anxious and I can't do it.

In the au, Shiro is twelve and the big brother of the group. He was best friends with Pidge’s brother Matt. I haven’t decided his family life yet but I do know he becomes an authority figure among the kids. He isn’t an adult but he’s the closest of them to being one.

Shiro helps keep the peace because he knows a good deal about kids and is old enough to explain earth things to the adults. He carries Pidge around on his shoulders to keep them from wandering off and causing trouble, and is often the first one the kids go to when there’s mischief, whether they caused it or are hiding from it, for protection. They all consider him their big brother, latching onto him to different degrees.

Pidge knew him from before because he’d come over to hang out with they bother. Hunk sees him as the biggest and strongest around and therefore the safest person to be with. Lance sees him as someone else to get attention from and goes to him a lot for little things because Shiro always takes the time to listen to him. Keith never really had anyone but his mother and Shiro understands that, trying to help any way he can and giving him ‘jobs’ as he is the second oldest.

I’m sorry, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!?!?

Happy Hanukkah!

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.
