Linen basics in soft hues
Not Perf
one of my "special interests" in the past couple of years has been exploring fast fashion vs. slow fashion. it has been a long journey trying to find clothes that actually 1) fit me 2) look good 3) are made from material that is not actively shoving plastic in the ecosystem 4) involve ethical labor, fair trade, fairly compensated, etc
before i did this research, i really had no clue about fabrics or fashion brands. i used to think i had zero interest in fashion, in fact.
i grew up wearing walmart and thrift store clothes, and when i went to college i bought clothes from target and asos. something started to shift a little bit when i found vintage resellers on etsy and ebay... those clothes were so unique. but a lot of the vintage clothes were polyester blends, stiff, and would fall apart as easily as my asos clothes. i would leave them hanging in my closet and never wear them. i would wear the same old t shirts and jeggings every day. i felt like it was impossible to ever wear comfortable clothes, or ever feel good in clothes, so why bother?
it started with linen. linen is very comfortable and pretty sustainable. i was amazed that i didn't feel the urge to rip my clothes off when i wore linen. lightbulb number one.
a friend let me borrow a nooworks dress, and i went to the store and got some overalls. wow. overalls. lightbulb number two. holy shit, you can wear overalls. you know how people say "not binary or non-binary but a secret third thing." that's overalls.
i realized i loved the bonkers prints that nooworks had, and all of it was soft, and made ethically. it was a higher price point than i was used to, which gave me pause. but then you realize: we're not supposed to be buying dumb clothes every other weekend. and isn't a slightly higher price point for soft clothes that you won't want to tear off your body worth it?
so i started my research. i made a spreadsheet. the prices can be all over the place across brands, so i made a column for prices. sizes can be all over the place too -- people always ask me "where is the plus size slow fashion?" it's there. just look at the size column. people say "isn't it better to buy secondhand?" yeah, it is. i have many links to secondhand sources.
if you have any suggestions or additions please let me know, it is a living document.

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)
✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
And if you're in a bind and your search engine allows it (google does), filter image results by date. meaning "show only images before day xyz" (it's in the search tools). put in December 2021. no AI results
I remember seeing a documentary about a European guy who wears traditional Victorian clothes all the time. I’m kind of interested in doing that, but with Hanfu.. do you happen to know what “casual” hanfu for everyday use would look like? (I’m looking for unisex / masculine styles by the way!)
Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! (hanfu photo via Nuwa Hanfu)
Yes, I have posts with information and examples of unisex/masculine styles of casual hanfu for everyday use - please check them out!:

Some sketches I did of Firecracker and Drizzm. Can't wait to make more like the first one. Silly sketches have sorta been my thing for like 2 years now lol
I like to describe how they got together as a silly romance like "Kiss kiss fall in love" (ouran high school host club). Complete with Drizzm getting pushed and landing on Firecracker
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
Still whittling away on the animation but I like this thing I did back before the ProjectTM
Ramblings under the cut
So my idea with Drizzm x El Cucaracho is pretty simple but i think kinda neat
You know how there are people whose voices seem to melt other sounds away, whether they just always had that effect or it becomes that way as people fall in love with them? It's something to that nature
Cause El Cucaracho's thing is that he's so on edge that every sound keeps him up but Drizzm's voice cuts through the sounds and calms him. So that means that as long as Drizzm yaps, El Cucaracho can sleep
As soon as they fall asleep tho, he wakes up and he spends the rest of the night watching over Drizzm while they sleep
Drizzm has a bad time in prison and that's where he's got all the scars. He used to be a pretty popular figure skater and when he was arrested the colosseum would take him and have him perform at the tournaments. They would cover his scars so the audience didn't know that he has them
That meant when he came to fight for the colosseum very few recognized him with the scars and hardened look in his eyes. And those that did were very unsure if it was the skater they were thinking of
I have him replace Magic Johnson in the bracket, meaning he goes against Never-Ending. He's able to beat Never-Ending because his hypermobility is a really good counter to the grappling techniques of a wrestler. He doesn't beat God in a Box tho, no way lmao
I have two love interests for him going down really different paths, Firecracker and El Cucaracho. Both love interests have a good end and a bad end. Maybe I'll go into more depth on this part later/elsewhere
