Some insight into the designs and fashion of the 20s would be so cool, especially since it's kinda hard these days to sift through just costume listing :'0

Yeah, sadly, the usefulness of a Google search is greatly diminished these days. You can still find articles written by actual human beings and genuine historical garments, but you have to wade through a lot of junky costumes and AI bullshit to get there. I can't possibly fully explain 1920s fashion here, though. It's a broad enough topic to write a sizable book about...which is why people have written many books about it. Check out some books. There are things you can get pretty cheap from resellers, everything from academic screeds about the politics behind the fashion trends of the time, to clothing catalogue compilations from the 20s, to giant coffee table books full of glorious photos.

Here's a PDF version of one of those clothing catalog collections. There's an entire preface about 1920s fashion in general too.

There are some pretty well made blogs about the topic out there as well. Vintage Dancer is one of them. The front of the site is unfortunately kind of cluttered with ads for costume apparel and modern clothing inspired by the 20s, but scroll past that to the historical bits and you'll find pertinent things.

There are some great fashion YouTubers too, like Karolina Zebrowska. Although she's not focused heavily on 1920s fashion, she talks a lot about early 20th century fashion in general. She also talks a lot about the historical context of those fashions.

Also, try online museum displays. The Met Museum has a searchable collection, for instance. Look up 1920s fashion, 1920s dresses, 1920s suits, etc.

Cameras were popular and accessible in the 1920s. Look at pictures of what people actually wore. You can find these images in free government photo archives, or licensing libraries like Getty Images (you don't have to license anything to look at it). And there's always Shorpy. Poor old, underappreciated Shorpy. Their archive is searchable.

Would Mari Apple (ponified Marianne) get along with Apple Jack? Lol

:D !!❤️

Well I think regular-Maríanne and Apple Jack would get along. Maríanne appreciates kind, honest, and hardworking people. Would see Apple Jack as a voice of reason.

But Marí Apple….

Nah. There’s a reason they don’t talk about her.

She’d be good friends with Discord tho 😭

Decided to draw some sketches of Maríanne fighting or being feral, or just annoyed hehe :>

^Mordecai is scolding her when she refuses to hold a gun correctly or refuses to use it at all.

Can you please draw D1 for Viktor please? <33

Ofc! Thank you for sending the request! :> once again I apologize for this being so late, but I hope you like it :>

Calliope: Recollection

(a poorly drawn mini-comic inspired by a recent convo between yours truly and @ahhhh-118, enjoy!)

Translation:

Cairns family homestead, 1917...

Adeline: Calliope?... Where are you going with that shovel?

Calliope: just gonna go withdraw some money, mum.

Calliope (in mind): just a little money...

A few years earlier...

Robert: Oi, Calli! Where yah goin'?

Calliope: Goin' down to feed the sheep, why?

Callum: *narrows eyes in suspicion*

Robert: You've only got a few more bucks in your allowance, so.yah betta make it count.

Calliope: Yessir!

Calliope (in present mind): *sigh*

Calliope (still in present mind): It's just to keep us fed... I promise I'll pay you back... Someday

For context, this follows an eighteen year old Calliope (aka, when she still had long hair) whose mother approaches her about where she's going. Calliope responds that she's going to withdraw money, but doesn't tell her that she's withdrawing money from the secret stash of money Calli and her brothers had stolen from banks and buried out on their families property (they come from a family of cattle farmers). Calli reminisces to herself about only taking a little, before we're thrown back to a fifteen year old Calli with her two older brothers Robert and Callum. Robert asks Calli where she's going and she responds with lie, of which her brothers catch onto. Robert replying with what he knows she's actually going to do, and says to use the rest of what she has in her 'allowance' wisely. As to make it even they had divided up their loot. Calli salutes him with her shovel before we cut to eighteen year old Calli thinking to herself, this time about how she would pay back her brothers the money she took from them to be able to feed her and her mother while they were away fighting in the great war. If they ever did come home, that is...

Woo, that was a doozy! Sorry for making the post so long 😅, there was just too much info I wanted to stuff in. Thank you so very much to the people that read this far!

With that in mind, have a splendiferous day/night!

Introducing:

Marí Apple

She’s the distant cousin that the Apple family refuse to talk about.

Do you have any Amber backstory or lore you'd like to share? np if not. im just really curious about her :3

Hellooo!! I do have a backstory for her in mind, but I was so lazy (again) to write anything on a paper and just basically revise everything mentally. Her backstory isn't final btw but I can share some bits with you.

Since Amber was adopted, of course she has biological parents lmao but that was the other topic for her lore.

Amber was originally named Mayumi Sanchez and was born on September 21, 1902 in Sonora, Mexico. She and her parents left the country and decided to live in Oklahoma for a new life.

(I searched the Mexican History just so her lore will makes sense, but I also make sure to not get too political here huhu. I may not be a Mexican, but their history feeds my curiosity so BAHAHAHAH)

As they landed on Oklahoma, everything went well. They got a house to shelter on, and enough money for their necessities. That is until Amber have to stop studying at school due to financial problems. Her father had to find a better job with a decent salary, yet it was difficult for him to find one. On the other hand, her mother stayed on their house to look after her. Her mother was actually a teacher back in the Philippines so she teaches Amber more things (useful or practical ones!).

A tragedy fell on the Sanchez family when a fire spread inside their house. Not sure how it happened or where it started, but Amber managed to survive. Unfortunately, her parents didn't make it (rest their souls), and Amber ended up being an orphan after that. Amber had a blurry memory of that tradegy until she remembers it again in the main plot (which is another different story).

Amber stayed at one of the orphanages in Oklahoma in around a few months before she was adopted. In her experiences in those months, she didn't have a good time, but that doesn't mean she had a bad time either. She hated the food there, as she can describe them as "stale with a hint of metal", and she missed her mother's dishes. She made some friends but there are some bullies too. There is this one girl who grabbed the scissors and just cut Amber's hair just because she is "weird". Don't worry, she fought back.
