Yo, I feel this on a spiritual level.
@liaroger LISTEN, go down your rabbit holes. SOMEONE WILL CARE. I promise.
I got a truly lovely comment the other day for using the historically correct 'stay' instead of a corset, and even went into a mini rant about what specifically was happening and that Ophelia's clothes were NOT to blame for her breathing problems.
My co-creator and I are the type of people who will see the research vortexes people will do and be even MORE into the story. The people that will care with REALLY care, and the people that don't are, meh. It carries so much more weight than you'd think, even if the people who would appreciate don't show up at first. There is nothing better than someone else as frenzied as you are, pointing to your story and going ''yoooooooo, yas, yas yas!"
Lean into your shit. Do it.
D O. I T!
Also, enjoy:
