Selby appeared in an episode or two of the first season of “Legion” on FX. His character, Brubaker, ran a top secret organization interested in mutants. Brubaker died a horrible death when his body was half-phased into the floor. This season Selby appeared in a flash in episode 8 (aka Chapter 16).
“Legion” is based on a character from the X-Men comics - David Haller. Haller is Charles Xavier’s son and is a powerful mutant with character possesses various psychic abilities, including telepathy and telekinesis. He spent much of the first season in a mental hospital. In season two he’s in a battle of wills with the Shadow King.
Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing
God that endless cycle of feeling lied to when people compliment you, feeling guilty that you are distrusting their sincerity, and feeling that ultimately you should accept the gesture whether they mean it or not because you ought to appreciate they are actively being kind in any case, and that I’m terrible at such acts (largely because I worry that I’m going to launch others into this exact anxiety cycle).
That and the fear I’m being laughed at- which I should be fine with. And my guilt for not remembering to feel fine with it sometimes.
I’m having the third thoughts issues Pratchett writes about- only I’m not sure it’s ultimately all that helpful. I guess making the decisions is the only part that needs to be helpful or good- my thoughts can be a massive dumpster fire so long as I get the right results. Just not sure I do.
Well I guess I should buck up and remember that people are silly and stupid myself included- but that doesn’t make us worthless. Be cynical if you must so long as it doesn’t stop you from caring or doing the best you can by yourself and others. I don’t need to fix any of it- I just need to keep helping it all along.
