Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

on that note, if #ffxiv players are on the #omega server, please feel free to swing on by and use my place as a small rp setting! http://bit.ly/bunclestail is the menu, http://bit.ly/wassailbuncletail is the new years special! (and the little shindanmaker i did where you can pull apart the new year's cracker and see what your character's fortune is, hehe)

"harp is a large part of your rp making menus and checking food history and suchlike?"

......yes.

it's my brand and in my defense, i think i'm pretty fuckin good at it: http://bit.ly/bunclestail

the 'fancy dinners' that my #ffxiv rp cafe offers are from menus borrowed more or less straight from victorian menus, but pared down a bit and me looking for the recipes that seem more simple. however i think a lot of the victorian foibles are still great to slide in there to rp - want to know your dinner is fancy? REST ASSURED, THERE *WILL* BE SOME SORT OF FOOD TRAPPED IN GELATIN, MADE IN A FANCY MOLD, TO ASSURE YOU OF HOW FANCY YOU ARE.

i have however taken analogues straight through all the way up to early edwardian period. for example, my rp cafe has a soda fountain! ...that is an expensive boondoggle LOL, and it just makes soda water, the syrups are mixed in by hand.

at that point i view recipes/historical analogues by class. if a character is paying, i'm comfortable with pulling recipes all the way on up to 1908 or so - but that's mainly for ul'dah's upper crust spending lavishly.

i will say that although revolutionary war era/colonial america isn't my fav time period (LATE VICTORIAN/EDWARDIAN WHOOO), i find it really useful for referring to when plotting out roleplay minutiae for #ffxiv roleplay.

i really really like domestic history and food history but ffxiv's wibbly setting makes #ffxivrp a bit hard to pin down. but i feel like colonial food is a good representation of "the common man's food available to everyone in eorzea; things everyone knows about and eats".

new year, new DOMESTIC HISTORY RABBIT HOLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MBxcdv8EDc

an ABSURDLY niche headcanon:

detective gumshoe of #aceattorney fame was inspired in part by the tales of his heroic uncle who worked with interpol.... yep, that detective zenigata.

i said it was fuckin niche.

also let's be honest i feel like #lupinthethird and #aceattorney could plausibly cohabit the same universe (depending on where japanifornia is)

i posted those pictures and that joke on facebook, and fb asked if i wanted to start a fundraiser.

pls.... poor dog is starve... has not been fed since LAST YEAR.......... GIEV MANY TREAT NOW PLS.............. #dogsofmastodon #hollypls

first nails done of the new year!!! i did an 'opal jelly translucent' thing as the regular color, which is just a little bit of milkiness. and looks like the first color i found was the chroming powder in rose gold! i actually really like it over a translucent base - over black it will stand out a whole lot more.

time to enter 2019 with translucent rose gold nails and BIG FUJIKO ENERGY

how 70's is Red Jacket run of Lupin the Third?

well, as seen here: Pretty Fucken 70s

anyway it's time to do my nails while watching lupin the third (red jacket, natch) (....because it's the only one hulu has up at the moment i think)

i wonder how much teasing shit i should give my dad about him not being home since it's past 10pm now, since i know he's probably still at the hospital with my mom
