Kingdom of Knuffel

What do you think of when you think of steampunk?

What would you do and who would you be in a steampunk world?

I love the steampunk concept and fashion. I would honestly love living in such a world.

As for whom I would like to be, I can't really say I've ever given too much thought, but first thing that comes to mind is a clock fixer by day and vigilantly by night. Cuz I would also be a genius inventor, but no one would know that
And now I think I'm getting ahead of myself

Hm, I'm kind of torn on my opinions of Steampunk in general.... but I have a very definite set of impressions that spring to mind when you talk about it.
Brass and bronze clockwork machinery, oversized and hissing and whistling with the steam that powers them, great clouds of steam filling the air....
airships, corsets, moderate bustles and the rise of the Rational Dress Society.... Spyglasses and brass-ferrules on hidden-sword umbrellas, sturdy canvas petticoats weighed down by over-pocketed dresses with mock-military frogging, top-hats and monocles and industrial-strength parasols...


Early industrial-era things don't tend to appeal to me (loud, noisy, polluting messes of machinery), but the Steampunk aesthetic is often a gorgeous sort of art-deco look which I adore, and they're usually analog not digital which is also more my style.

I'm pretty torn about this one.

If I were in a steampunk world, I'd probably be one of those Luddites decrying the modern machinery and desperately trying to keep the steam and humidity of the modern devices away from my books and my library (think of the mold!)...
and spend my evenings volunteering to help record some of the more classic volumes onto newfangled music-box-style metal memory drums.

I think of brass and copper colors. And gears and steam engines. Things like that. Mostly the fashion.

I'm not sure what I would be. Maybe a librarian. Or something like that. I'm not really good at inventing things. I might be able to do science.

Heh... maybe I'd teach history. :P

Or write novels about an alternative universe where science went down a different path.

I love steampunk! I get so inspired by it when I see something related. But when I try drawing steampunk fashion, it's really really hard o_o

It's not my kind of thing
One of the stores at my summer job is going to be steampunk themed...tho considering what they have it's more like skullpunk
