Send help, I have fallen into the THIS IS NOT VICTORIAN snark Tumblr and can't get out.
"GIRL, YOUR FLANNEL IS NOT VICTORIAN".
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.
'Dirty Girls'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Do you think people (mis)use "Victorian" as a synonym for "fancy, especially fancy with lace and/or ruffles and sort of old-fashioned looking and maybe poofy"? I'm starting to think that's the reasoning behind the misuse.
Although that *really* doesn't explain the flannel.

I think most people don't know anything about historical eras and that's the nearest Olden Type one. I doubt any of those people know what baroque is except possibly as a very fruity kind of classical music.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm sorry, msbelle. Hope you can find something soon.

Awww, fuck 'em, msbelle!
Bad timing though. I'm sorry. That really sucks hard.
However, I would like to emphasize: Fuck them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah, jeez, msbelle. Hope you find just the right thing for you.

Yes. I know I'm guilty of misusing the term sometimes, but I usually try to say "Victorian-inspired".
Argh! I'm very sorry, msbelle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmmph. Sorry, msbelle. Jobma.
I wonder if I'll have time to read the "making it" article before the consultants come back. I have no idea where they went. I hope they're not lost.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, msbelle.
