Don’t get me wrong, I love it when people design medieval fantasy clothing based on western European fashions, because they were awesome (did somebody say chaperon?) but there was lot of great design in eastern Europe and the Byzantine Empire too.
I’m pretty sure the second picture is actually 16th century Hungarian dress, but I’ll let it in because it looks cool.
Taurus culture is retail therapy and shopping sprees
Taurus culture is getting too invested in the emotions/feelings of small moments and then getting overwhelmed by it
Taurus culture is being considered boring to people who don’t know you, but one of the chillest yet unintentionally funniest people to those who know you.
Taurus culture is having food for emotions
Taurus culture is a perfect day being cuddling up naked with your loved one and having saved your favorite candies under pillows just for those days
Taurus culture is being stable with yourself and not needing to be always going out meeting new people, going wild partying, etc, but when they do let loose… oh being so fun
Taurus culture is spending 800 dollars of your tax return solely on eating out… in 1 month because food.
taurus culture is being undyingly loyal and endlessly forgiving to those who you trust, who are very few and far between
Taurus culture is people thinking you are standoffish at first but then later them finding out how sweet you are actually are.
Taurus culture is shopping for the perfect gift to get each one of your friends and family.
the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!
it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.
and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.
making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.
take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.
