CRIMINAL MINDS 2.21 — "Open Season"

[knitmeapony]

Yes yes yes this scene thank you for the tag, heehehehe

[kalindashepard]

It’s funny because this scene must be based on the memoir Special Agent by Candis DeLong. In it she describes being out looking at clothes at a department store on lunch break with another female agent and overhearing a conversation between a man and a woman in which he says he’s an FBI agent. They peer around some clothes racks thinking that they’re going to see one of their fellow agents trying to get a date, and when they don’t recognize the guy they go over and pretend to be interested in the big strong FBI agent themselves and ask to see his badge. The guy actually pulled out a fake badge, whereupon they said “Huh, that doesn’t look anything like ours…”, produced their own badges and arrested him for impersonating an FBI agent. (I remember this bit from a 25 year old book because I actually stole it myself for a fic)

Exquisite. Glorious. 10/10 thank you for sharing.

“Fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it is true. Children know that. Adults know it, too, and that is precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living.”

#contemporary scifi costuming is going to look painfully 2020's in a few years

Already does. In Star Trek Picard S2 when they went back in time to 2024, none of the characters had to change their outfits because their 25th century fashion was just like, normal jackets t-shirts and trousers in a variety of black, grey and brown fabrics. A stark contrast to early TNG, where - while everything looked painfully 80's - the non-uniform attire was all fun shapes and textures that didn't actually resemble off the shelf clothes as far as I'm aware*

*(I say this because i missed the 80's by a couple of years)

[milkywayan]

I wrote my thesis in fashion school about scifi in the 60s (with 1/3rd being dedicated to TOS), and the amazing TOS outfits are thanks to William Theiss who managed to use the extremely limited budget they had to make amazing costumes, using things like cheap table decoration and tacky 60s decor to craft insanely cool scifi outfits

Even the uniforms are AMAZING from a tailor perspective!

They didn't want ugly zippers to show so the closures of the uniforms are in the seam of the raglan sleeve!!!!

In all the new adaptations they are lazy and don't do raglan and put the zippers in the back and it looks shit

Not even to mention the incredible lines of the womens uniforms!!!

Like look how smartly the lines for the pattern go, to not just have boring darts in places! These costumes STILL look futuristic!

You could not even see this on 1960s TVs!

I'm feral about this btw

[calendae-creations]

I don't have the dress or the book with me, but years ago I used the pattern in one of the early Starfleet Manual books to make a skant. At first, the weird retrofuturistic pattern piece shapes were kinda hard to wrap my mind around. But the more I worked on it, the more I came to appreciate not just the commitment to creating a fresh new aesthetic, but also the practicality of it! The way the pieces are shaped makes it pretty easy to adjust the pattern to fit different proportions as needed

[ilex-opacus]

I dislike AOS for many many reasons, but one thing that kinda stuck out to me is the specific way in which Spock's bullies talk about Amanda. They call her "that Human whore" or something, and tbh, I don't totally disagree with the idea that Vulcans could have this view on her, considering they are a pretty proud culture and a lot of time the racial othering of women does indeed go hand in hand with blatant sexism.

Having said that, I think it's a really interesting thing to consider a world where Amanda and Sarek are both well-liked and well-respected by their peers, because they both excel at being what they are. Sarek seems pretty close to the gold-standard for Vulcans (or at least, nobody ever implies otherwise) and I can also see people respecting Amanda for being unapologetically human, for not "pretending" to be something she's not even if she lives on Vulcan. They respect her, but only as far as she is shown to understand that she cannot be like them. So long as she makes it clear she is something else, then they won't judge her for not being able to be like them.

I like the idea of Amanda and Sarek both being "permissable" because they have chosen a thing to be and adhered to it, while Spock is unable to just neatly choose to be Human or Vulcan, and is instead a sort of combination of both, and THAT is what makes his Human heritage a point of contention amongst his peers. Since Vulcan culture is based off schooling yourself into an ideal, logical version of yourself, I think they'd be more accepting of Spock if he was able to simply make a choice and stick to it, even if that choice was to be Human. The fact that he can't, that he is multifaceted, that he contains multitudes that seems to conflict rather than conform to each other, is what makes him an outcast.

@anthropologist-on-the-loose get peer-reviewed because your shared experience with the subject of the painting really heightened the emotional impact of this artwork for me ( An impact which was already high tbh. The idea that Pompeii was built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations. What if I just started screaming and never stopped. )

[anthropologist-on-the-loose]

"Built by generations, buried by generations, uncovered by generations" is ruining me, thanks
