I will never abandon my love for Stuart/Early Modern history. I could not even if I wanted to.

I mean, I became a reenactor/living historian because of it! Look at me in my outfit!

Thought it would be nice to draw Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York for the very first time except they’re both my characters and they’re both women.

I did initially have a Richard III artwork planned out but I’m going to postpone it to October for obvious reasons 😌

I haven’t spoken to some of you in a while and I’d like to know, how have you been? What are you up to lately? Feel free to reply to this message because I know it’s been AGES since I’ve spoken to some of you

Did Prince Rupert visit Leicester in 1642, prior to his infamous demand from the mayor?
After my talk at the Guildhall, I created this short video to answer the question and showcase the sights of this beautiful building.

I’m going to my first ever Civil War reenactment in nearly 9 years tomorrow. I wish my mum was here with me but she won’t come for another 2 weeks

I am looking forward to going to the York Witch Conference at the University of York! A lot of Early Modern history involved but I am only attending for the day as it was mad expensive!

I will never understand the concept of Transphobia, I really will never.

I will always and forever stand by trans women are women and trans men are men and nothing can change that for me

I am ready to be in a relationship again with no worries.

The issue? Can’t find a single woman or feminine person to be with other than my crush. I mean; she is masculine presented (which I find absolutely attractive NOT in a lustrous way) but I respect the fact that she’s aromantic & I understand

Never thought I’d admire someone this much… My crush posted herself in a 17th century outfit and I was SPEECHLESS, FLABBERGASTED…

Oh My Goodness Me…

It’s my birthday next month and I’m turning 21!

My early 20th century shoes came for a 17th century outfit and honestly, I feel like a diva I them 💅🏽

Who cares about historically accurate shoes when the main focus is on the outfit? They also look just about 17th century shoes to me anyways 🤷🏽‍♀️

Guess which individual bought their first ever blue Civil War dress for £82 🤭👀 (Bought it from someone who works in the Sealed Knot)

Eh… for £100 made of Polyester and the picture looking nothing like the actual product, I can find better
I am going to get myself a 17th century Royalist blue dress for my upcoming 21st birthday. I am so excited I got a blue and white one because it reminds me of Yorkshire 😻

And of course, I’m going to wear it in places that they allow me 😌

I have a bone to pick with people who are now getting way too comfortable posting extremely controversial things

Been trying to style this for some time & this is by far the only way I can make it work (Doublet is more green IRL) I’m also getting a pair of vintage-inspired high heel shoes in both black & white when I go to England cuz I’m too broke to afford 17th century shoes 🥲 (they look like them anyways)

Where can I find a historically accurate 15th century dress for a decent price? Mum is looking to get me more outfits but I don’t want to break her bank 😭

Me: I want to become a historian
A person: but a historian won’t get you anywhere or any money
Me: Yes, so what? It’s my passion and as long as I’m happy, that’s all it matters. Who cares about the money or what job it’ll land me in?

My biggest regret is getting that “friend” of mine into Cambridge all because I knew about Oliver Cromwell and he’s now doing a course on Early Modern history back in 2022-2023

HUGE regret. He turned out to be a massive bigot.
