minus-square@WrenchlinkEnglish-16•2 months agoThis doesn’t seem real. Dreadlocks would have been extremely abnormal for the period. Hell, it’d be extremely abnormal now. You sure this isn’t some indy photoshoot or AI or something?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoDon’t think they’re dreads. Look at the top of her head, it looks like it’s just very thick hair that’s covered in dirt/ dust.
