Coord with a skirt and bow I made

I saw this fabric in a pile of donated scraps during a sewing course I took two years ago, and thought it’d make the cutest egl skirt! I just recently found a bit of the extra fabric, so I was able to make a matching bow! It also looks cute around the neck, but I don’t want my head to be bare. Best part about the skirt, though, is that it has really deep pockets!
I also thought the bag was perfectly on theme!
I still have more of the fabric, so who knows, I might make a matching vest. Depends if I ever feel like it.
I’m thinking of wearing this coord during an upcoming trip, and I hope I have room in my luggage for a petticoat

Edit: just in case anyone was wondering, the bag and blouse are both from Modern Millie in Salem, MA. They’re not a lolita store (more of their stuff leans a little more towards the vintage 1950s aesthetic) but they have blouses, cardigans, bags, accessories, etc. that match the quality, cut, and style of lolita, so if you’re in that area or in shipping distance, I’d recommend checking it out.

OOTD

The shirt was new, so I wanted to do an outfit with it. It’s a little outside of my normal more romantic/whimsical style, but I think it worked out pretty well!
I finally got around to doing pretty much a full trad goth makeup look, and I wish I could show y’all, but I don’t want my face on the internet when I can help it, so that part is up to your ✨imagination✨
It’s pretty much a bunch of black and blue unintentionally unsymmetrical swirly spiky eyeliner.

Progress on sculpting

I’m trying to make a doll of Ortho Shroud from Twisted Wonderland, specifically in his Playful Land card look. It’s the first time I’m sculpting a doll, and I’m planning to resin cast it after I finish sanding all the parts, and I’ll sculpt the other details later.
To other sculptors, any silicone and/or resin recommendations? How much of each should I buy?

Riddle Rosehearts Wig!

I’ve tried to style wigs before , but this is the first time I was told (by the online tutorial) that a steamer would help, and it was a total game changer! This is by far my proudest wig styling so far, even if it’s by no means perfect.

[pjo] Zoë’s use of “you” bothers me to my core

Zoë Nightshade, as you likely know, frequently uses the pronouns thou/thee/thy, instead of you/your. This is to enforce her idea of being out of place in this time. But she uses them so painfully inaccurately.

Going back to the history of “you”, according to the Online Etymology Dictionary, it is from the Old English “eow, dative and accusative plural of þu,” and þu is a predecessor for thou. So what does any of that mean? Usually, a sentence has a subject, a verb, and an object. A verb is an action, a subject does that action, and an object is what the action is done upon. For example, if Travis said “we set the land mines,” “we” is the subject, “set” is the verb, and “the land mines“ are the object. A dative is the same as an indirect object. It answers the “to whom“ or ” “from whom“ question. There is no separate dative pronouns in English, but there are in German. I, however, do not speak German. Nevertheless, if the prophecy said “Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,” the dative clause is ”to the goddess.“ Accusative means it is directed towards the person or thing you are talking to, and plural means it is for multiple people.

According to Grammar Revolution, both middle an early English used “you,” or some variation of it, as strictly a plural, objective pronoun. For subjects, if speaking directly to multiple people, you would have used “ye,” or an earlier variation. By the time early modern English came around, “you” was still for plural objective, but “ye” and “you” were interchangeable for plural subject. At that time, “you” and “ye” were also interchangeable for formal accusatory subjects, only using it for people above yourself, like respectable strangers, parents, leaders, or bosses, and “thou” would be used amongst those of the same rank. This was through French influence, who used plural pronouns for kings. Nowadays, “you“ is used for all accounts of accusatory pronouns.

Now that we’re on the same page on the word “you,” There are two quotes of Zoë’s that particularly bother me. The first is:

”'Your,’ Thalia grumbled. ’Nobody has said thy in, like, three hundred years, Zoe. Get with the times.’

Zoë hesitated, like she was trying to form the word correctly. ’Yerrr. We do not need yerrr help.’”

This bothers me for one simple reason; “your,” as a possessive accusatory plural pronoun has been around since “you“ had been, existing back in some form in Old English. The second quote that bothers me goes as such:

”’But you use you for the beginning of a sentence.’”

This quote confirms she is speaking Elizabethan or Shakespearian English. And it is a gross oversimplification. This clearly refers to the formal singular subject form of “you,“ but there are sentences where the subject is not the first word. Like in “Only too late did I realize what her look meant,” the subject is “I“, despite not being the first word. For reference, “thou” would be the informal subject version of “you.” Despite Thalia accusing Zoë of using the word, Zoë never actually uses “thou.” so she’s really oddly formal with literally everyone, including her friends. I suppose it is in character for her to regard them all as strangers, no matter how close they become. But the concept of using “you” for objective cases should not be a foreign concept; she still would have used it for plural cases, which she doesn’t. No one would say “thee all“ at any point, it would be just “you.”
Her surprise could still be present. The modern equivalent would be if in the future, all third person pronouns were simplified to either be ”they“ or “their.” In that case, a sentence like “Did you see they yesterday?” would be grammatically correct. It could also seem needlessly formal, but Zoë already exclusively uses the formal tone, so even if she were put in Shakespeare’s time, she would get some confusion as to why she regards those in the same position as herself or lower as if they were someone above her.

So why do you think she speaks to everyone as if they were above her? Did some Elizabethan version of Thalia harshly correct her for using “thou” to a high figure, so she never used it for anyone? Did they simplify a subjective pronoun to be the start of a sentence? Why would “your” be an unfamiliar word? Did I get anything wrong?
