Hi! What Would A Traditional Bride From Śląsk Wear On Her Wedding Day?

Hi! What would a traditional bride from Śląsk wear on her wedding day?

Hello! Answering your question might be a bit complicated, because Śląsk is quite a large area divided into two main subregions [Górny Śląsk - Upper Silesia and Dolny Śląsk - Lower Silesia], each having several types of costumes. However, there are some common elements that I might show you below.

Most of Silesian brides would wear: a jacket/blouse called jakla [often in black colour seen as the most elegant/dignifying - but it was changing with time and fashion trends], a skirt painted or embroidered with floral motifs [common in most of Silesian festive clothing] and a so-called “turkish shawl” [chusta turecka with decorative patterns and fringe] worn over the shoulders. One of characteristic elements is also a wreath/crown made usually from green myrtle - and the flower crowns were reserved for the bridesmaids during the wedding that [in general, flower wreaths would be worn only by unmarried women].

Here’s example from Bytom - clothing called strój rozbarski after Rozbark that is nowadays district of the Bytom city [source]:

And the same custom of changing the wreath to a headwear on the example of Bytom costume [source]:

In general, the myrtle wreaths were so important, that most of the brides would later keep them in a flat showcase on the wall as a memorial of the wedding [image below is a printscreen from the Silesian Museum’s virtual tour]:

The black jakla jacket might look a bit boring at the first sight [as I’ve heard before] - but it’s only an effect on badly balanced photographs… just look at these details [source]:

This is just a quick reply that focuses on the Upper Silesia region, but I hope it gives you a good picture.

[note to self: I should post more examples from Silesia]

I think Peter Pan (2003) did the best version of George Darling, especially with regards to the dual-casting tradition.

I Think Peter Pan (2003) Did The Best Version Of George Darling, Especially With Regards To The Dual-casting

Not only did it let Jason show off his acting range but the explorations of masculinity were really fascinating to watch. George Darling is a nervous wreck who is constantly trying to prove himself as a 'proper' gentleman. "I must become a man that children fear and adults respect!" While he certainly scared the hell out of Wendy then, she still responded "Father? Brave?" to her mother's claims.

So, when Wendy goes to Neverland, she meets a man who is, as Jason Isaacs said, "strangely alluring yet repulsive at the same time, and looks like her dad". Captain Hook is the nightmare version of Wendy father. He's confident, he's aggressive, and he is a cruel, selfish asshole. But the sad thing is, he'd probably be more respected in Edwardian society than George.

Going back to George, when he finds out his kids are missing he literally sprints home out of pure fear and desperation to bring them back. He ran! That is a HUGE 'proper gentleman' no-no! Then when the kids do come home, he practically knocks himself out sprinting into the nursery and smashing his body against the door frame! He tries to put on the gentlemanly persona. Stiff upper lip, manly-man handshake, keep your emotions buried deep inside... but he can't do that. But that's a good thing! He breaks down, embraces his children, and their family is whole again. Rejecting Edwardian social norms was the right thing to do.

So, what I love about this version of George Darling and Captain Hook is how effectively they portray the best and worst forms of masculinity.

Fandom Reasons to DUNK on Andrew Hussie

There’s plenty, but for the sake of brevity let’s run through the options here: • The Hiveswap Development Scandal • His lack of management for inflammatory and socially combative employees • His employees he hires doing sketchy things like selling nudes in a venue where underage kids have access to them and not being immediately fired for it • The destruction of the MSPA forums and lack of an official replacement • The degradation of Homestuck itself moving forward (full flashes missing in official capacity) • Quashing fan projects in the past such as a Homestuck fighting game • Claiming Homestuck belongs to the fans and walking that sentiment back to ‘only the fans I approve that work for my corporation’ • Slurs • Radio silence over most of the above issues • Skaianet • Is an old man (in his 40s) trying to stay hip with the kids and being cringe as hell • Anger over either the ending of Homestuck or the entirety of the Epilogues/HS2 If I missed any be sure to say so below!

TBH I was hoping for Touya to die. So, he won’t suffer anymore and I really don’t want him to be stuck in prison for the most of his life or for rest of his life. He do not need that. He once died and should have stay die. Now it’s like all over again for him to “come back from death” and probably still don’t want to do anything with his family. Damn.

What if the epilogue ends with Deku and Ochako married, sitting on their couch.

And Deku grabs an ugly ass kid they have and goes “isn’t little Himiko cute?” And Ochako sighs and goes “the cutest girl in the whole world” and he puts the kid down to play with Tenko Yoshinori Midoriya, her older brother and Deku goes “this was really my hero academia” and
