I cant believe this tweet is how I find out
now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense
holy shit.
You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.
Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.
oh hey man so is your living weapon single or

This was my first time working with leather because I got a burning desire for a bag shaped like a horseshoe crab. It has two zippered compartments, and an adjustable strap so it can be worn at my side as a cross-body bag or on my back more like a backpack.
Psst. Tell no one, but I miss him something awful
Skills are funny
One thing I did with zero tutorials or help, while the other one I was struggling so badly I literally cheated and gave myself 99 defence.
Starting a collection
defining lesbianism as “women who love women” really leaves us nonbinary dykes out in the cold in a really shitty fucking way actually like i get where that post is coming from but i am not a woman but i am a fucking lesbian
Honestly, if you ever see a manga character and think "Damn, their style is dope as fuck" 9 times out of 10 their fit comes directly out of a fashion magazine. Sailor Moon was wearing Dior. JoJo was wearing Missoni.
Not to downplay the skill of the artists adapting those styles to their characters, but that is why the drip is so clean.
Like, this is a piece of trivia I love to share and I think it's important for a few reasons. One is because it emphasizes how much great art is about study and reference. Artists learn from artists and it elevates their work.
Two, because fashion *is* art (which is maybe a less controversial take now than it was a decade ago) and it's important that we recognize when great fashion inspires us.
Three, because acknowledging how much time great mangaka spent studying fashion *is* recognizing just how much hard work and effort goes into their creations.
And also I just think it's cool as fuck.
Is someone gonna post some examples? 👀
From Sailor Moon at least these are probably the most relatively famous examples.
For instance! ☝️🤓
- Sailor Pluto wears the Karl Lagerfeld-designed Chanel gold chain dress from their Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1992 collection. Even the jewelry takes cues from the runway styling as worn by Christy Turlington
- Neo-Queen Serenity's dress is inspired by the Il Palladio gown from Dior's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1992 collection. It's not a full lift— the manga's version plunges in the back whereas the neckline of the original is fully straight, among other stylizing on the details of the gown
- Black Lady's outfit was inspired by the styling done for Kate Moss for YSL's 1994 print advertisement campaign for their Opium perfume
- Koan's whole look was based off the sheer jumpsuit with the feathered tutu worn in Mugler's debut collection from Haute Couture Fall/Winter 1992 (for the life of me I cannot find this model's name 😭)
Here’s an example from JJBA. Araki references fashion media a LOT in his art, especially with the signature JoJo poses people know and love. Here’s some more:
A lot of people ask where I get my character fashion designs from and it's pretty much exactly this. I look at a lot of runway art shows for inspiration and either directly draw outfits or learn from how fashion designers use silhouettes, texture and color.
I love that fuzzy feeling, when I put my face right up to the screen. It’s like a nice, warm, crackling hug. Ooooh, technology…
do not make fun of bug style

puzzling the rap world with my debut describing myself as "the white macklemore" despite not being white and my lyrical style being very obviously inspired by epic rap battles of history's portrayal of darth vader, even going so far as to imitate the respirator noises with my mouth
