■ England's Hairstyle ■
[ FRANCE's LONG HAIR ]
England hated France so much that the bishop cut the hair of men with long hair.
"Don't forget the English Soul!" he said as he chopped them off.
The time is the 11th century
During this period, French long-hair hairstyle was popular in England.
Since the King was a big fan of French culture, no matter what the class, all the people had long hair.
On that note, anyone in England had their hair long but in France, it was strictly limited to privileged classes. They didn't think of creating new hairstyles at all.
And because England was tainted with French culture, Bishop Wulfstan was disappointed.
T/N1: Oh look! Research! Apparently, he really does hate men having long hair, saying "How can you defend your homeland if you imitate women?"
The hatred of worshipers towards long hair deepened to the point that they would kneel in front of people with long hair as if to ward off evil spirits.
「LONG HAIR WILL BE YOUR TICKET TO HELL!」
Threatened, they cut their hair.
T/N2: Well, literally it'd be more like "drop you to hell" but that sounds awkward
[ MIRROR ]
Around this time, metal was polished and they used anything shiny.
By using glass that shows reflection, they invented a mirror in the 14th century.
The mirrors today were invented during the 19th century, which is surprisingly recent.
■ Me and Goldy ■
T/N3: 俺と金色 literally "me and the color gold"~ Tho thru context, I'm guessing it's more like France's petname for
golden-caterpillar-England, hence the title~

[EDIT] My bandwidth just died, but it resets itself every month (11th in my case) so I'll be leaving these as is 'cause really, it's quite a hassle to reupload everything and change everything and etc only to have this happen again.
In case you still see the dreaded "bandwidth exceeded" banner~
I uploaded the zip file and it's over here -> [DOWNLOAD]
And so now I say this cause I've already seen a few, please do not hotlink. Thank you.
