Geekyness

SU and vld stans do not interact and/or follow. What you can expect to find here? A lot of opinions on fandoms, ships and tropes. anti depicting pedophile and incest ships as normal and healthy. This includes stepfamily dynamics and similar. Also includes teacher and student ships. Still not over gltas.

i hope madison reyes never needs to get her tooth gap fixed

it makes her cute and unique without having to do anything extra

it's like a a feature that's just hers

cant be replicated

and that's rare in a career field that's very image concious

if she were to get it fixed that's one less thing that makes her standout out from the others in the same field

like yes she's talented, with singing piano dancing acting

but there's so many others who can probably do that too

her tooth gap gives her this approachable vibe like yes she's amazing but she's still human and not 100% flawless and you get that from a quick glance

it's like a beauty mark in that it should probably be regarded as a blemish but because she already radiates godess energy it just makes her seem wholesome?

edit: i have been made aware i made some stereotyping statements in this post so i have untagged it

i have no idea if editing this here will affect the reblogs but im not deleting the post as the reblog thread made me learn some things

Well, this was unexpected, but I really needed it. You’ve probably heard about the situation—it’s been going on for 20 days now. Watching how everything is unfolding, I feel like I’m slowly losing my mind. I hope that someday we’ll be able to say "welcome back" and give him a bouquet of flowers. Anyway, I love this little wolf and hope he comes back to us)

.・゜゜・.・゜゜・.・゜゜・.・゜゜

At first, I was drawing something completely different and trying to gradually move past the situation, but it turns out I’ve really grown attached to Valko. I hope you like him too)

[top-cheese]

i do genuinely believe that the best thing that can happen to a person Creatively is to just get obsessed with some random-ass guy

[sugar-petals]

listening to CDs in the kitchen i always brace myself for the ad between songs but then it just keeps rolling. skipping around how i like without interruption feels heavenly. we're in such a commercial angst prison that books and CDs are luxury now 😭

protect, pass on, thrift, gift, and store physical media, it's worth it

Gardener - First days are always THE WORST. Im in sm pain right now ans I have to act like everything is normal. BLOW EVERYONE UP, except forf my moots and my friends. Speaking of moots @blueberrytrickster requested this, THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH queen

Summary! Your period started today, now your sweet toothed boyfriends are trying to control how much sugar they eat.

TWs - Nothing! Just fluff. Unless you count a throuple as something scary.

《 Chocolate Thieves 》

You were in so much pain.

The aching in your abdomen was familiar by this point, but incredibly unwelcome. It also didn't stop you from crying about it, with your hormones all over the place, it felt easier to sob at every sharp sting. Normally, you'd try to thug it out since your family would get mad at you for being "so sensitive", but now you had Zayne and Valko and they would never be upset with you for expressing your hurt.

"Yes..she's feeling sick today. She can't come in." Zayne's voice was calm, he sat on the edge of your bed, running his fingers through your hair as you whined into a pillow. He had prompted you to open your phone and let him call out for you the moment Valko told him that he could smell the change in hormones. As always, you didn't believe him this morning, but it hit you an hour later and now you were sobbing in your bed.

Valko was out getting pads, tampons, and snacks. He was sent out by Zayne and jokingly called it "doctors orders". You wanted nothing more than to hold his tail right now, so you lifted your arm weakly, and tapped Zayne the moment he hung up. "I want Koko.." You turned your head to look at him, and he could see the tear stains underneath your eyes. "Can you check his location and see when he'll be back?"

The man leaned in and kissed your forehead, smiling. "Of course I can." He picked your phone back up and looked at it, seeing a notification from Valko on the screen.

'I'll be back soon, tell pancake I miss her!'

Zayne hummed, looking down at you and putting your phone on the nightstand. "He said he'll be back soon, he's not even a mile from the house." He scooted closer, his thigh pressing against the pillow, "He misses you too."

You looked up at him with hopeful eyes, as if Valko coming home would make everything better. "You mean it?" He nodded, and the bedroom door opened right after.

"Alright, honeybun. I've got you those premium pads you like, some tampons that said they're not supposed to be felt at all — which I doubt — chocolate, your favorite candies, some chips, oh and some socks! I read online that somehow socks help ease the cramps, but you have to wear them. Also these ones are special because they warm up." Valko rambled, taking everything out of the bag in the order he named it. He smiled at you, his ears and tail popping out for your amusement as he moved next to you on the bed. "My sweet girl, how are you feeling..?"

You stared at him, mind trying to catch up with what he said. "Aauhm..thank you Val," you smiled a little, feeling his lips press against your cheek. He hummed, passing the snacks to Zayne — which would prove to be a mistake — and opening up your new products. He didn't want you to worry one bit, and you wouldn't have until you heard munching on your right.

The doctor was eating your candy! His fingers broke apart a Kit Kat bar and brought it to his mouth before he noticed you staring. He stared back, slowly bringing the chocolate to your lips. "Open up, my jasmine." He said it like he wasn't about to eat your snacks, although he was more than likely trying to play off that fact.

Regardless, you did as he asked and parted your lips, your brows furrowed in a pout. "You were gonna eat it." You said after swallowing, turning your head to your other side, only to see Valko taking a bite out of a Reeses that was more than likely for you. You whined and kicked your feet against the mattress, "Guys! Don't eat my snacks! And you cant even eat that, it has peanut butter!" You sat up, weakly tried to snatch the candy from him, but he pulled his hand away.

He used his tail and brushed it against your face, showing off his fangs in a grin. "This is for me, why do you think I didn't give it to Zaynie there?" He hummed, pulling one of the cups out of the packaging, "But, if you want one I'd be happy to share." He placed it in your hand with a smile.

You accepted the peace offering and turned to Zayne, who was still a little embarrassed by his behavior. "Sorry," He said, placing a hand over your stomach, "I know you're in pain, I won't take anymore unless you offer it to me."

Your pain subsided as he began massaging and squeezing your lower abdomen, trying to ease the tension. You nodded and threw your head back against the headboard, your body giving into his touch. "Take it.." The words left your mouth in a breathy pant, but you held up the chocolate you got.

Zayne smiled, picking up the Reeses with his free hand before putting it on the nightstand. He kissed your temple, "I'm just fine for now, I have all I need right here." He looked over at Valko, who raised an eyebrow despite his cheeks dusting pink.

"Woah hey. Don't flirt with me, doc. Keep your eyes on the prize." The redhead sat closer to you, his tail resting on your lap. "I've called out too..so I'll be here all day for you." He leaned in and peppered kisses all over your face.

You giggled and pushed him away by his chest, "You smell like chocolate!" Your hands wrapped around his tail, which softened in your touch.

"I don't think thats a complaint?" He tilted his head, looking at Zayne, who was still massaging your stomach.

He looked between the both of you, a slow smile spreading across his face. "I didn't hear one either."

everyone is fucking but no one is horny

one of my twitter friends recently said that if she could order up a fic it would be a story written by someone who has only ever read the classics, 1.5 star trek novelizations, and their mother's romance novels from 1970, written about two people are so out of their minds horny for each other it causes them to make the absolute worst choices anyone's ever made.

and i almost lost my mind laughing because i do know exactly what she means. there is a weird vibe i can sometimes sense within the first few paragraphs a fic that really bums me out. it's almost like i can tell the author is thinking way too much about what i'm thinking about their id and it's suddenly like we're all suddenly wondering how riding a bicycle works when we're mid-ride. when you start worrying too much audience interpretation or how a fic is going to do or play or ugh marketability, it genuinely adds some weird self-conscious distance to whatever you're doing. and it's the pits from the reader side because it removes so much horniness from your story even if the idea you have is genuinely good! i know this is not a niche complaint--you find it literally everywhere as every sector of the creative internet gets #content-ed and people can't escape the stats of how any given creative outlet does.

but god there's literally nothing better than sitting down and reading some freaknasty person's art where they do not give a single shit if you like it. they had something to say and my god they were gonna say it. i've accidentally acquired so many kinks by clicking on a story where someone took me on the most insane ride of my life and i thrilled about it. i don't wanna read about polite normal regular love. i don't wanna read about people using therapy-speak on each other. i wanna read about two people feeling the biggest craziest feelings of their entire life and they cannot do anything about it except bang it out. what else are we doing here? if they're not fucking down an entire house, well jed i don't even wanna read it.

[gothhabiba]

see this is exactly what I'm talking about. this labour is so incredibly invisibilised that there are real human beings, walking about amongst us, leading normal lives, etc., who earnestly believe that machines can make an item of clothing from start to finish.

[rowanrightalong]

Hey just in case someone on here doesn’t quite understand how labor intensive making a garment is, here is a list of things that (to the best of my knowledge) cannot be done by machine alone, from a costumer/tailor in training

Cutting - in my opinion, the most labor intensive part of the process. The amount of time/effort needed varies depending on the pattern and if seam allowance is included or marked separately, but no matter what this process can not be done by machine. Each and every panel and piece of fabric that goes into a garment must be cut by hand by a person.

Pinning/clipping - pinning (or clipping) is the stage at which you align the pieces you are going to be stitching together and hold them together with — you guessed it! — either pins or clips. This can not be done by machine.

Stitching - the actual sewing. This can be done by a sewing machine, but that machine still needs to be operated by a human being.

Ironing/pressing - two words that mean the same thing. The iron itself is a machine, but once again, it needs to be operated by a human being.

Finishing - depending on the technique you use, there are certain finishing techniques that can only be done by hand. But, let’s assume we’re talking about fast fashion, which is usually just finished with a simple overlock/serger. Once again: these machines need to be operated by people.

These are just the basic steps to making a garment, and don’t include textile arts that I am not as knowledgeable about, such as weaving, knitting, and crochet. Also, it is important to note that there are a lot of things that can only be done by hand, such as certain stitches and decorative techniques.

Also, the machinery being operated in textile factories is not equivalent to a domestic sewing machine. We’re talking about one of these guys:

See that gray cylinder under the table, behind the knee pedal? That’s the motor. These machines can sew through your fingers bones and all and not even stop. The people in these factories and sweatshops are operating heavy machinery, and are subject to all the risk that comes with that in addition to all of the work I mentioned above.

Please respect textile workers and continue the fight to eliminate the use of sweatshops and exploited labor in the fashion industry!

[uninterruptednonsense]

Reblogging with some additions from a different post o'mine:

" I'm taking a sewing class and I asked my teacher about how much machines can actually do. She said that while a lot of actual fabric we use in our projects is machine-woven, and sometimes there are machines for particular knitting patterns or for the same small thing over and over and over (i.e. socks), the overwhelming majority of pieces of clothing are in fact just sewn together by humans. Usually women. Underpaid and overlooked. Thousands and thousands of them, working 12 hours a day or more in huge warehouse-factories. You're probably wearing something one of those women created right now.

Most of the students (including me) were horrified. We had *no* idea. We figured that, given that we have supercomputers and massive industrial systems for almost every type of product you can buy, surely we would have figured out a better way? Surely there are machines that can put a t-shirt together by now?

She said, no, that's why fast fashion is really so bad. It's not simply about the quality of the product, it's about the human cost.

When you buy a cheap tee that says "Made in Bangladesh", this is where your clothing came from (and these are from one of the nicer factories):

[queeranarchism]

This isn't just true of clothes either. There's an astonishing amount of human labor behind most of our products. Even the steps that are automated are only possible because humans are constantly cleaning, maintaining, repairing, adjusting and fine tuning the machines.

I've noticed that the media that educates us often edits that out on purpose. In 'how its made' type videos, steps humans do by hand are often skipped because they don't make as smooth a video as watching machines do the parts of the production process that can be automated.

Hi guys I haven’t posted in a little while so that’s my apologies however in the meantime I was making water color art of me and Caleb and I’ve also made a chibi version of us as well I hope you like it 🥰🫰🏾🌸 and yes I am this delusional 🥹🤭 I need someone to make a fanfic of the both of us at this point to feed my delusions more 🥹🥹(sorry had to add the sponge bob gif in there cause who doesn’t love sponge bob🥰)

TIL that there is journalism equivalent to the Bechdel Test. An article about a female scientist fails the “Finkbeiner Test” if it mentions one of seven topics regarding her womanhood

via reddit.com

[prowlick-deactivated20210420]

The fact that she’s a woman

Her husband’s job

Her child-care arrangements

How she nurtures her underlings

How she was taken aback by the competitiveness in her field

How she’s such a role model for other women

How she’s the “first woman to…”

[hedwig-dordt]

Okay, one quote, and then you absolutely have to read the whole thing. 

Still, the virtue of some rules in Aschwanden’s test is difficult to see at first. Take the rule of “no firsts.” In the comments section below her post for Last Word on Nothing, Finkbeiner explained that no sooner had she taken the vow to ignore gender, than she caught herself writing that the astronomer she was profiling was the first to win a certain award. After a reader urged her to stick to her pledge, she removed it.

“The fact that she’s the first woman to do that says a lot more about the prize-giving committee than it does about her,” Finkbeiner explained in our interview. “So if I were going to put that into a story, it would be a story about prejudice in that prize committee.”

It blew my mind, because she’s right. The fact that there’s some many firsts left is the result of bias in the committees NOT IN THE WORK WOMEN DO
