@nyx I'm big in victorian illnesses markets myself, I made a small fortunate in hedging bedridden consumption langour, we introduced micro financing schemes for the construction of rural hysteria sanatoriums
@ink lowkey I would pay money to roleplay being in a Victorian sanatorium dying of tuberculosis lmao
@nyx fever dreams in a cozy strategically'ed curtained room sounds lush, but tb is no joke and i hate having mild lung issues

the most successful member of my family had a nice house with a very 90s grandparent dark pastel curtained child's room with a doll case, legos, and a small tv we watched billy and mandy and Genndy Tartakovsky cartoons because we didn't have cable at home, and every time i've rented a house or airbnb or hotel, and mostly older folks homes with this kind of decor i see why little play is a thing, i had some very deep dollhouse experiences with my ex at a house we rented with a similar bedroom and i have half a mind to recreate and patent the scent with old house mold cultures, vintage air freshener, and Potpourri
@nyx i bring that up because of the lacey aesthetic continuum that kind of extinguished in popular culture by the early 2000s, you see it in some rural places and senior decor or trad larpers but they do not produce it for most big box stores the way they did at say Sears in the 90s
@nyx i kid you not my grandad's guest bedroom looked like this and i have half a mind to commission the future portland biolab dormitory with some derivation of this aesthetic
@ink oh yeah I remember this aesthetic that old people in the 90s used to have lol. I never made the connection though that it was a trend
