Victor thinks the cute talented japanese skater is getting suave at him but he’s actually BRUTAL and it’s supper effective. Based on @kazliin‘s rival au.
everytime u see a old photo of a snazzy 1920s dude in a suit remember what lurks beneath
okay why are you guys reblogging this and tagging it as reference do you plan on drawing 20s gangsters in their underwear i better see these
I couldn’t help myself
To be fair, underwear that fully covers the body from neck to knees makes a lot of sense when you’re wearing a dry-clean-only suit as your everyday outfit; it prevents sweat from soiling the garment’s inner layer, and thus lets you go longer between launderings. The development of modern underwear tracks pretty much directly with the shift to washable daywear, which removes much of the need for such extensive protection.
The part that makes least sense is how it’s sleeveless and thus doesn’t protect suits from armpit sweat. Surely the armpit is one of the most important places to put this kind of undergarment? T-shirts were originally designed as an undergarment that does protect clothing from armpit sweat, but they weren’t popularized yet in the 20s.
Most union suits did indeed have full or partial sleeves; the ones pictured in the original post are more fashionable than functional, probably intended to be worn with eveningwear.
Wow this was informative
Eveningwear? So… this is 1920s men’s lingerie. GTK
Once
upon a time (this is a
game Brian plays with himself, on the bus, in the coffeehouse, at three in the
morning when the sky is the indescribable color you only see in an overcast sky
above a city. A game, except the fun went out of it long ago, and now it’s
something crueler. Self-flagellation, maybe). Once up on a time there was a boy and a girl who tumbled into a
fantasy world together. Once upon a time
there was a boy who betrayed the world and a girl who saved it, and they were
both sent home again. Once upon a time
–
It’s been ten years.
Brian’s twenty-three now, for the second
time, and Erin has just given up.
Once
upon a time there was boy
and a girl, and they were angry.
