Covet Fashion House recruiting

Anyone here play Covet Fashion?

House WeMakeFetchHappen2 is looking for members. Our house rallies Fancy every Monday at 2pm EST. When there is a flashback event, sometimes we rally Fierce (about once per month). Also, during rallies we almost always have at least one Fashion House Gift! We don’t kick people who are inactive or toggle off rally participation, but if you are toggled on you must at least enter the two daily challenges for the rally. Failure to do so will result in removal from the house (although we do allow you to rejoin, we do this to protect our rally scores).

During our Fierce rally we enter the first flashback challenge, and enter the second one if we need to because we missed another challenge.

We usually get at least one grand prize per month!

We are a friendly and cooperative house with an active chat (we have our own discord server) and we look forward to rallying with you!

If all that sounds good to you, please join WeMakeFetchHappen2!

A city where necromancy is legal and actually a part of every day society. So long as you follow a specific set of laws to make it seem a bit more ethical, you’re allowed to use it to do anything from helping you in a fight, to helping you run your business. In fact, there are entire shops or restaurants where the staff are undead. Laws to handle the undead could be things like:

• The corpses used cannot have flesh on them for sanitary reasons, especially in the case of businesses. Those who raise undead who are more than just bone will face a fine dependent on their situation.

• Similar to how people can donate their bodies to science, or donate their organs to those in need, people can choose to donate their bodies to necromancers before their death.

• If it is unknown if a person wished for their body to be donated after death, and they have been dead for 150+ years, you’re allowed to raise them. If next of kin is still alive, you must get permission from them first.

• You must take care of the undead in your charge. Keep them clean and unbroken. If one of them starts to get too much wear and tear, you are required by law to respectfully lay them back down to rest. Failure to do this will get you a hefty fine.

I’m making a town like this and the tavern will be called the Skelet-Inn

Fucking brilliant

I mean, take it a step further, if you aren’t sure if someone would want their body used after their death, call them up and ask them. It’s less taxing to cast a Commune with Dead spell than to raise an active skeleton, and this way you know for sure whether they mind, so there’s no ethical ambiguity.

Most local dead consider the idea of skeletal labor completely normal, so they tell the necromancer that they waive all rights to the corpse for public work purposes as a formality and then go back to their afterlife.

For private employ however it’s customary to pay a small stipend to either a living relative or a charity of the ghost’s choice in exchange for their corpse’s labor.

Due to the prevalence of public works done by skeletons, Necromancers are seen in much the same light as government functionaries. They’re stereotyped as mild mannered people who do an important service but are also really boring at parties.

Small skeletal animals are great pets for people with allergies and small children as they have no fur/dander and are quite sturdy and docile. They make great therapy animals as they require little training and seem ‘happier’ when given tasks to do.

Human skeletons and the skeletons of larger animals are often seen following their masters around at market, holding baskets and bags and pushing carts. Some people dress them in seasonal outfits and accessories. It’s a point of pride to have a well-dressed, sparklingly clean skeletal helper.

I’d imagine painting the skeletons would be extremely popular!

Some sturdy waterproof paint requires less upkeep than clothing - you can still clean them by hosing them down, and don’t need to worry about changing or wear-and-tear on their clothes.

Stencils you get buried with will last much longer than clothes, especially if you make them out of proper materials. You can emboss them with color and placement instructions too. (On a similar note, I would expect death or funeral masks to also be prevelant.)

Goverments and organizations would have simple and distinctive paint jobs, so their skeletons can stand out and be easily identified. Maybe with some rules about leaving a certian percentage of surface area or location for an ex-sapient skeleton’s personal use.

Use glow-in-the-dark paint for skeletons working at night for safety!

Painting your skelepet has a much lower barrier to entry than sewing or buying clothes for them. Give your kid some paints and let them go wild!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I ended up pitching this sort of concept for a friend’s homebrew DnD setting. Now there’s a whole country where a lot of manual labor is done by skeletons. It’s considered a public service to donate your body for labor after death. Everything is meticulously sorted out by contract ahead of time so part of studying necromancy is also studying law, particularly contract law. It’s a very prosperous country because so much gets done by undead labor. Mining? Skeletons. Huge amounts of farm work? Skeletons. Weaving plain fabrics? Skeletons. I’m sure port cities have necromancers that coordinate groups of them to load and unload cargo. Meanwhile, everyone else can focus on doing other stuff or developing new things. The skeletal pets thing is still in development because usually the spell needs to be refreshed regularly and that’s just not going to work with a pet, but… who knows, we might come up with something.

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

One fun fact about me is that there is a pit in the forest. It is a part of me. I do not know where my reflection ends and I begin and I am so entwined with its murky waters I have begun to wonder if I am human at all, or if I am some creation of mud and wood given life against its will. When I die look for me in the pit. I will be in there, watching you.

microwavebeeping

Visited the pit again today. The waters gone. There’s a dead bird at the bottom of it. I don’t know what this means.

microwavebeeping

I keep accidentally ending up at the pit. Like I’ll tell myself I’m not going to go to the pit and then I go to the pit. Or I get lost on the trail and end up at the pit. I’m having fucking dreams about the pit. What is with me and this pit.

Don't fall in love with angels. They're allowed to love you and will do nice things for you. But they still serve heaven and its rules before they serve any being in the universe. The nicest, kindest, angel that you could ever meet, will still watch as thousands die because it's the will of fate, would still smite the undead just for being what they are. If they believe you're someone wrong or evil, even if you're just 'born wrong' they will destroy you. Their fire may warm you, but it's still there to burn heretics.

Fall in love with demons, those angels that have left heaven's will. They may be cruel at times, they all fell for different reasons, and many of them don't take well to being asked to say why. But they have their own will, and if you convince them to do good, they will do good. Even the darkest of demons can be reasoned with, because they already had enough reason to abandon the sky. Their fire may burn you, but it is the torch of liberty.

detectivehole

emperor kuzco was clearly gay

detectivehole

hes 19, with unlimited power, and he ain’t got a gf. the only time we see him interact with any women his own age is when he’s rejecting like 7 of them rapid fire. he pretends to date pacha in a gag that lasts like 10 solid minutes. listen to me god damnit

qqueenofhades

Okay, but just in case anyone is coming to tumblr dot com for my hot takes on 20+ year old kids' movies: Kuzco super WAS gay (or at least coded as such) and of course, I didn't get it until I watched it as a gay grownup.

He is played obviously camp and dramatic, for a start, and there is the aforementioned "hate your hair/not likely/yikes yikes yikes/let me guess you have a great personality" summary dismissal of all his potential brides. Then he spends dinner asking Yzma about Kronk ("so he seems nice? He's what, in his late twenties?") and otherwise being slightly obsessed with him.

Then there is the whole Adventure of Doom with Pacha, him being ever huffy about the Kiss of Life, and then the restaurant gag where Kuzco takes to playing Pacha's fake wife and dressing up in ladies' clothing with great gusto (reinforced by the waitress' "bless you for coming out in public" remark when Pacha says they're on their honeymoon). Then when he is finally de-llamafied, we don't see him paired off with the obligatory girl from the lineup earlier, as might otherwise be expected in a Disney movie. Instead he is still single, but goes to found family it up with Pacha, Chica, Kronk, etc, which dare we remark is a very queer trope.

In short, I have no idea how a Disney movie with no white people (all the characters are Indigenous/people of color), a gay king, cross-dressing jokes, and the most offbeat plot of all time actually ever got made (can you imagine the Family Friendly Mouse doing that today? Let us also talk about Kronk because he is a brilliant deconstruction of both toxic masculinity and the musclebound henchman stereotype.) Other than that this was the Chaos Hour of animated movies in the late 90s/early 2000s, and yes.

So yes. There you have it. I will not be taking criticism at this time.

In response to the question “How did a movie like this get made at all much less by fucking Disney?” there was a recent Vulture article that outlines the whole shit show of a history behind this film according to everyone (writers, directors, VAs, Stings) involved. The gist of the story is that they fucked up making a whole, true-to-form Disney musical that never came to see the light of day SO BADLY that Disney switched directors, locked the writer’s room, and didn’t review a single script until weeks after the film was in theaters.

Please, read this article if you have some time. This story is wild, and involves directors being pitted against each other Bake-Off style and a shockingly intimate documentary created by the wife of Sting who, himself was heartbroken by the decimation of the songs he wrote for the film including cutting a fantastic Yzma villain song sung by Eartha Kitt that is SO DAMN GOOD but would not ever have fit the more nailed-down Yzma we would eventually come to know and love. It’s so catchy though, I’m doubling up on calls to action but please listen now:
