plebefic headers: Rules left unchecked tend to gnaw deep within a person

1. Summary: spnkink prompt: Dean accidentally discovers that not only does Cas have a halo, it's a solid part of him, and he likes having it rubbed...



2. Summary: “Love you till I die.” Those were the words. Scrawled onto palms, scratched onto bedside tables, burned into memories. They were whispered, whispered with meaning. With meaning, they were screamed at the sky.



3. Summary: Dean knows it's a dream, he knows its not real.... so why does it feel like it means more, and more importantly, why does he wish it was more? And, why, for that matter, does Castiel show up the next moring with a hikey on his neck and angry as hell? If it's not real why does the angel know everything that happened... like he was there? [Wow, really, all that? Then I guess what must have happened is... wait... no, it's just too complicated. I got nothing.]



4. Summary: Rules left unchecked tend to gnaw deep within a person until something triggers the fallout. [Ouch.]



5. Notes: I have issues with this story. I'm so not fishing, I know what's good about it, too-but, I'm just saying, if you have issues with it, feel free to take them up with me. I'll probably-but not definitely-agree with you.

"Lady's Walking Dress (Harper's Bazaar, 10.12.1872, p.676)". Blum, Stella, ed. Victorian Fashions & Costumes from Harper's Bazar 1867 - 1898: 1000 Illustrations. Dover, 1974: p.61.

Apparently making dresses entirely out of the materials required for a standard manor house window-dressing was a more common practice in the Victorian era than you'd think.

It strikes me that the popular/advertising art of this era in Victoriana represented a feminine ideal similar to the iconic feudal Japanese woman represented in ukiyo-e prints--a solid column nearly devoid of concave or convex curves, a thick neck, a heavy oval baby-face. The difference is that I think the jaw shape represented in ukiyo-e is in part a consequence of the strict stylistic requirements of the genre. Also, the rather less stylized style of Victorian engraving renders a clearer image of a disturbing mixture of big and imposing, and baby-faced and childish. This was of course the aim of the wealthy Victorian woman - to appear physically mature, yet helpless.
