Sci-fi Things!!

Well. Today the topic is "just a low bit" more fun that the last one... I'm gonna talk about steampunk, the another perspective of science fiction, I think. Well, I am not an usual sci-fi consumer, but this is just because I have no time to read or see many sci-fi stories. And because I prefer fantasy stories a lot. So if you ask what I prefer, Lord of The rings or Star Wars, I will tell you I prefer LoR, but I like Star Wars too. But I am not that kind of science fiction fat fan, I don't play rol and I am not always playing that massive online games, you know. But I think is interesting.

Bloody hell, I love his hair.

So, steam-punk is a genre of science fiction that propose an alternative futuristic world based on steam machines, and the science before the Industrial Revolution, like Nikola Tesla's experiments with electricity and stuffs. The most popular author from this genre, is Julio Verne, even when he didn't really wrote his books thinking on "Steampunk". But that topics, like the travel to the moon, and the travel all around the world, and the very famous "Nautilus" and its Captain Nemo, are the inspiration for all the Steampunk's aesthetic and ideology. I think that "From the earth to the moon" was the first sci-fi book I road. But I was an 11 years old girl, and I thought that was veeery boring. I used to read things that was not recommended for girls with my age. So I never tried to read a Julio Verne's book again. But now I want to, and I have no time. But I will, f*ck the police.

My favourite thing about Steampunk, apart from the Ilustration and games, is the clothe. Well, I must say I have a very pink side. I like to know about fashion things, and make up tips and that stupid stuffs. So if I have a very bad day, I can buy beautiful clothes, and I feel really really better. I don't know why, I mean... I don't perceive myself as a material person, but I really feel good when I can buy something...



Steampunk clothes is a style based on the Victorian time. Girls with tight corset and very big skirts, like balloons, and the boys with funny hats and smoking and shiny shoes. The difference, is that colours are different shades of brown, and the accessories usually have gears, dragonflies, goggles, rudders, and even tiny hats for girls (I don't like them, but it doesn't matter).
