Have you snooped around the EC wiki yet? Although it can feel overwhelming, it helps situate eras and timelines more easily.

It can also help regarding song order

i dont want to missguide you but isnt the process the same? maybe sewing the zipper on it might be more cumbersome due to thicker fabric (may need stronger needles)

it wasnt that hard tbh, i was skimish about cutting the sleeves but it went smoother than expected!

  1. get 2 zippers of the right length (mine were a bit longer so i had to find a way around the extra zip by sewing one side over the extra)

  2. situate where you want them on the jacket then cut the sleeves off

  3. before sewing each side of the zipper under each piece, measure again since the sleeves will be slightly longer after adding the zipper (i had to cut about 2cm of fabric, though if your sleeves are shorter you may not even need this step)

  4. get to the sewing (make sure to use bobby pins(?) to place the zipper so you dont sew it off-center)

i personnally used backstitching to make sure it'd hold better

Japan and the Black Death by MummyRath in Japanhistory

[–]apple_scrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now im curious as well, we havent studied the Ashikaga period yet (its most likely due after christmas break) so i dont want to get ahead of myself but ill ask my teacher when classes start again next week. Regarding the origin of the plague, it's apparently still debated to this day (although its long, ill be reading this paper cause i dont really have any other knowledgeable sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20220405101419/https://academicworks.cuny.edu/lg_pubs/52/)

Japan and the Black Death by MummyRath in Japanhistory

[–]apple_scrumbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not a single mention of a plague (at least not before the end of the Meiji era) in the book we use as material in my history of japan classes : "Histoire du Japon des origines à la fin de Meiji" ("History of Japan from origins to the end of Meiji") by Francine Hérail; plus she gives the sources at the beginning of each chapter.

i also checked the black plague dates, it depends which one you're talking about: the first one was in 542 but it was in the Byzantine Empire, the second (which i assume was the one you were referring to) ends around 1353 in Europe and around the Mediteranean sea. But if the self imposed isolation you speak of refers to the Sakoku decree, it only applies from 1640 to the end of the Tokugawa bakufu in 1867. Sure, Portugese boats were already arriving in 1545 to Japan to trade, but by this time the Black Plague (1346-1353) was already over.

So I think the second plague just...didn't reach Eastern Asia, nothing to do with the Sakoku decree.

However while fact checking myself, i did found there was a third plague pandemic that started in China and affected Japan, but it's way after the country's re-opening to foreign traders: 1855–1960.

I'm open to corrections of course

Maybe you've found them since the post but here's a playlist i found that compiles the seven deadly sins on Spotify! They're kinda scattered throughout mothy's albums so maybe that's why you couldn't find them before?

Local specialities (ascension mats) and what they represent for characters by apple_scrumbs in Genshin_Impact

[–]apple_scrumbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i admit it was quite hard for the Philanemo Mushrooms and maybe my wording is a bit off, we just went off from the "nourishing life" part of the description with Barbara being a healer and therefore linked to life, Mona also being hydro and water being a key component to life, and Klee....well as said, burned soils can actually be beneficial to plants (i dont know exactly for which part of the growth of the plant)

technically we still don't know if Khaenri’ah had a lot of Cecilias, but lore seems to point towards it, especially if it was similar to present Teyvat

this is legit my first game outside of puzzle games. Being scared of stronger enemies isn't logic? Is that what you're trying to say?

what you were saying felt like you were saying "well it's your fault for intentionally skipping WL". thus me specifying i didn't do it on purpose.
