This is where I'll post random whatever interests me at the moment. Current themes include cute animals, genderqueer identities, art, lulz, feminism, poetry, and stuff I think's shmexy.

Friend sbj commissioned me one of the best things to ever happen—Powerpuff Girls inspired by Esther Quek.

No joke, she gave me an entire zip file of Esther Quek photos. Bubbles and Buttercup’s outfits were directly pulled from specific outfits, while Blossom’s was pulled from different ones. 

Featured are some of my favorite details and face shots of the girls sans sunglasses.

In the Grantland.com article, Hannan uses male pronouns to refer to Dr. V once he discovers she is transgender, and does not acknowledge that he has done anything inappropriate.
