Welcome, darlings, to my blog. Sometimes decadent, often strange, always worshipping the glow cloud. Check out my aesthetic blog @fascinatorsandfairycakes if you want more of the pretty bits and less of the politics.

The supposed different “generations” i.e. millennials/Gen X/boomers etc is just liberalism’s attempt to replace class analysis by framing the different generations as coherent classes with different interests. It conveniently fails to mention that there are working class & ruling class people in all generations.

By making all ppl of a certain age responsible for inflation & higher cost of living or w/e, the responsibility of the ruling class is obscured, to the detriment of the working class & to the benefit of the ruling class.

every time I see the words “Tolkien ripoff” in reference to fantasy I laugh, because while there’s a lot of Tolkien ripoff in worldbuilding it almost never crops up in plot or theme or characterization

like

where are my stories about the decay of the world from the glory of days gone by?

where’s the motif of limb loss?

where’s the longing for the return of something worth following?

where are the bloodthirsty oaths that tear sanity to shreds?

where are the evil spirits who try and destroy the gods with steampunk V-1 buzz bombs (looking at you, The Lost Road)?

where’s my continent-wide dialectical shift ending in massive arguments over the proper pronunciation of a name? where’s my family drama centered around sparkly rocks? where are my dragons the size of mountain ranges?

Tolkienesque Fantasy™: there’s a quest, the elves are bitchy, the dwarves drink a lot, farm boy hero.

Tolkien’s Actual Writing: absolute power corrupts absolutely, a little bit of power corrupts a little, to what extent are people responsible for their actions? does God/the gods really answer our prayers? and pacifistic undertones.

Also actual Tolkien: The world is full of hope even in dark times. Kindness and friendship are what heroes are made of. Absolutely do not fuck with nature or you will regret it.

[garrettauthor]

Also actual Tolkien: actual heroes are little people who band together because it is right, and because they must.

[mazarinedrake]

Actual Tolkien: write your spouse into the story as an Actual Demigoddess whose song can charm even the Big Bad and the Keeper of the Dead themselves. Write your best friend into the story as a longwinded shaggy tree who takes hours to get to the fucking point. 

[tanoraqui]

Actual Tolkien: a true leader values peace rather than war, and is identified by their ability to heal rather than fight. We are all essentially shaped and guided by the past, what was done and what stories we know of it. We are part of that great ongoing story. Despair is the enemy; hope is never foolish.

THINGS I NEED TO FUCKING KNOW: Why every fuckin trans man or nb person I know who binds is like “oh binders are the worst, you can’t breathe in them, I know someone who broke a rib once”,

And meanwhile over in historical costuming, we are fucking eating, sleeping, swordfighting, riding horses, and feeling great like this:

(credit: Jenny La Flamme, The Tudor Tailor, Verdaera)

Like is there NO overlap between people who want to bind and people who care about accurate 16th century clothing reconstruction techniques?

(I, okay, maybe it is kind of a niche interest, but…. REALLY? Anyone who’s made a boned binder, PLS SPEAK TO ME)

Omigods yes that’s what I used to make my trial binding corset for under a 1830′s gentleman’s costume! I adapted the Elizabethan Pattern Generator Corset to look more like the gentleman’s corset of the time as portrayed in satirical cartoons.

This was only the second pair of stays I made, but it already made me practically flat and was quite comfortable. I didn’t even full bone it and it looked like this:

(don’t judge me for the awful way the boning sticks out at the top, I am by no means a corsetry expert)

People who are actually good at stays will be able to make things like these with no trouble, because if something made from old sheets and recycled boning can do this, imagine what you can do with proper materials.

Just for fun, here’s me in my gentleman’s outfit:

It basically eliminates my boobs, but leaves the hips alone because at that time the hourglass silhouette was fashionable for men as well. I’m not exactly flat-chested, so I’d say for a first attempt this one is very succesful.

You know, for all the ‘ask me about my pronouns’ and ‘my pronouns are ___’ things that I see on redbubble and on other people, I’m surprised that I can’t seem to find the reverse anywhere – ‘what are your pronouns?’. I can’t be the only one who forgets to ask this all the frigging time, and having it on something you’re wearing would make life easier and just a tiny bit better for everyone, right?

So naturally, I made one. Well, two versions of it. Great for all LGBTQ+ folks and allies! Get one on t-shirts and various other cool things here:

“Tell me your pronouns”

“What are your pronouns?”

(Other stuff by me)

It’s been a while since I made an animation, I wanted to work on one of the most beautiful shot in Sherlock: the bed scene in A Scandal in Belgravia. Traditional animation made with 28 different drawings on the same paper, it means that all the sketches in movement that you see, except the very last one, don’t exist anymore. I make a sketch, scan it, erase it and make the next one. If you look closely, you can see the lines of the previous one dissapearing slowly, they’re like ghost sketches! I’ve chosen that cruel technique to create a ‘dream vision’ and because it’s easier than to do them separately.

All that’s left of this ephemeral art is the final drawing, that you can see here.

A4 paper, mechanical pencil, 2B - 4B pencil leads, kneaded eraser.

reblog if you have ever experienced/witnessed any level of sexual harassment or unwanted attention from a male. I’ve never met a girl who hasn’t been harassed in some form and I wanna prove that girls don’t chuck that shocking figure around for fun.

it’s weird how a society that thrives on innovation and simplified ways of doing things criticizes shit like this… Did everyone just forget about the people of Flint?

So I just learned that the way Ultima Online was originally programmed, a player was a “container” housing their inventory, the inventory was coded as a “map,” and horses, when first introduced, were coded as an invisible inventory item (pants) until called and mounted. But for the first 24 hours or so, someone had forgotten to code it so they reverted to an item when put away. So while this wasn’t actually visible, the horses wound up behaving in the inventory map as they would when released into the wild. Which means that the horses were wandering freely inside of the player characters, picking up some of their items, eating the ones that qualified as food items, and since there had never before been a need to give the inventory map any boundaries, the horse pants and their stolen items would eventually wander off into oblivion.
