half of fic research is rereading the fandom wiki four times for obscure character info and the other half is googling shit like “when did we start using drywall in home construction”
“Did the New York Public Library have a newspaper archives in 1983?”
“Old-fashioned Andalusian terms of endearment”
“Pictures of Dana’s apartment in Ghostbusters (1984)”
“When did home refrigerators become common in Europe?”
“Vintage oreo packaging, 1980s”
“Vintage milk packaging, 1980s”
