gotta say, the witcher has really revolutionised fantasy tv by deciding that high-waisted pants are the peak of fashion for dudes in witcherland

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

the men of the witcher are in the equivalent of our world's current craze for high waisted jeans. this is the reason why the witcher is so good, and why game of thrones failed so bad.

[dechart]

ok that's true but witcherland

[swords-n-spindles]

I mean, yes, but also: Jaskier's high-waisted pants were a very clever choice of the costume department to fuck with his proportions, shorten his upper body and make him appear less tall. Look at him, he's basically as tall as Henry, but everybody was tricked into thinking he's somehow small and dainty, with his high-waisted pants and fitted doublets that accentuate his waist (Look at the jacket he wears at the banquet!). Well done, Witcher costume department.

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

There is nothing more joyful about this website than people using this post as a springboard for wider discussions of the costuming in The Witcher. I'm here making the proclamation that Game of Thrones failed because Ned Stark wasn't in high waisted jeans and actual costumers are coming in here to point out that the designers were actually using it to shift your perspective of Joey Batey like the goddamn Disneyland castle

[sar-kalu]

Thats because everyone here agrees with you @fidefortitude GoT failed because lack of high waisted pants? Yes. Not the least of their sins but yes.

Also, Joey Batey is tol but until @swords-n-spindles pointed out i hadnt overly noticed and i cant believe ive been played like a gottdamn fool

[swords-n-spindles]

I really love the fact that this post periodically surfaces on my dash. I'd like to take the oportunity to offer a small, but important correction which has been bothering me for a while now: The high-waisted trousers(TM) are just one aspect of the effort to Make Joey Seem Smol. Another important one is the dropped crotch of all his trousers. Tight trousers with regular crotch seams emphasize your butt and legs and make them seem longer, especially if they're dark trousers (cf. Geralt's lovely bottom). A loose or low crotch in trousers make your legs appear shorter! Short torso, short legs, short Joey.

Observe:

It looks even worse from behind, because that's not where your butt is, sir. The only way to make him look even smaller would have been to make his trouser legs and shirt sleeves a tiny little bit too short, the way they did with the Hobbits in LotR (additionally to the CGI).

Here's a fun shot in which the whole illusion comes apart:

So smol and dainty.

Magic! Clever tailoring and carefully chosen camera angles.

I made The Witches’ Daughters for Terrestrial, an anthology of earth-themed fantasy comics edited by Amanda Scurti. You can also read it at its forever home on my portfolio website.

The anthology debuted at SPX 2014, and now you can buy it here! It’s full of lovely comics and illustrations, and I’m very happy to be included in such good company.

Buy her books!!!

[gauntletknight-deactivated20230]

She won that season too!  She’s so cool and upbeat

[blu-eyed-demon]

Despite being cool.and upbeat (and she is) she also suffers from anxiety and recently started speaking about it in social media. Instagram posta detailing her inability to even go downstairs and how support her fam are etc. She also recently did a bbc documentary about anxiety disorders.

[cozza-frenzy]

Nadiya is also a perfect example of why diversity in media is important. A government report on community cohesion said she’s done “more for British-Muslim relations than 10 years of government policy”, because her presence on TV has helped to humanize the image of the hijab-wearing Muslim woman in the eyes of the public. She’s not even really a political activist or anything - she’s just a nice, honest, down-to-earth person. Sometimes that’s all it really takes to convince people.

[coyotesmokebreak]

She has her own series on Netflix now!

Fun Fact: That’s a statue of the fist which Joe Louis used to knock out Max Schmeling, Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in round twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.

[strixobscuro]

Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad he’d lost the fight because the thought of  the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.

So maybe don’t refer to him as “Hitler’s favored heavyweight boxer”…

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Thank you for this additional info!

Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man

[d0cpr0fess0r]

Imagine hating Nazis so much that when you get beaten up your response is “Good, now they can’t use me as a role model.”

my favorite davids, ranked

here’s a definitive and totally subjective rating of davids

donatello: 3/10 honestly pretty embarrassing, but worth a mention. just your run-of-the-mill, oh-you-haven’t-heard-we’re-copying-classical-greek-sculpture-now david. stiff, awkward, and pretty dopey looking twunk. has the same expression of someone being told dona-fucking-tello sculpted this. can’t even hold his slingshot bc it’s too gay. don’t worry there’s a redemption arc on its way.

donatello pt 2: 9/10 fucking superb you funky little gay man. total glow up. a complete deviation from the norm by a well-known deviant. takes contrapposto to sultry new heights. look at this lad’s little hat and boots he’s not a nude he’s just naked. some people say goliath’s head is modeled off of donatello himself literally he was horny enough he said “step on me” in full fucking bronze. goliath’s helmet has little gay greek reliefs on it, not even remotely subtle. look at the feather going up his thigh and tell me u didn’t cross your legs when you did. commissioned by the medici for their palace, which makes it even cooler by association. 

verocchio: 8/10 ily baby a perfectly fine lad, looking at him makes me smile. his little dress is so cute with its stylized arabic psuedo-script border, and the floral pasties? adorable. something about goliath’s head feels a little disjointed, but you know what? fuck him. he’s not important. david’s the real star here in his little cheerleader get up. what really makes me biased towards this one is that the model was supposedly verocchio’s star student, the young leonardo da vinci. and look how fucking radiant he is! love it.

michelangelo: 7/10 technically this thing’s great. look at the fucking veins on the hand that’s absolutely mental. but all in all it lacks the overtly homosexual intrigue of some other davids and, frankly, i expected more from well-documented gay disaster michelangelo. obviously a classic but also makes it prone to being too over-saturated. i do love his yaoi hands though.

bernini: 11/10 the man the myth the fucking legend! bernini always delivers and this david’s no expception. look at that movement! the drama! the whole thing screams baroque in the best possible way with the dynamism, the momentary narrative, that cute lil scrunched up face. only complaint is that it isn’t as good as some of bernini’s other work but i’m willing to let it go for the detailing on the fucking rope goddamn gian lorenzo you absolute madman. we stan a sculpting legend.

reminder that 30 isn’t old, it’s very normal to not accomplish everything in your 20s, and that it is never too late to learn that thing you’ve always wanted to learn. you’re always growing. that’s a good thing. 

[unexpectedyarns]

Who the hell accomplishes everything in their 20s? Who made that a thing?

I was 48 when I started my apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist. I was 50 when I married the love of my life.

You’ve got time.

Know your history:

Gay:

Used to mean carefree

Then sexually deviant

Then prostitute

Then slut

Then sodomite

And THEN as we know it today but only as a slur

Reclaimed in the seventies

LGBT:

Invented in the nineties

Has faced constant backlash (from both straight, queer, and LGBT folks from being not inclusive enough or too inclusive)

Every year there are pushes to change to acronym

LGBTQ

LGBTQ+

LGBTQ*

LGBTQIA

Mogai

Alphabet soup

Queer:

Used to mean “other”

Became a slang term for “not straight” in the 1400s

Became a slur in the early 1900s

Reclaimed in the 80s.

Sudden push back from within the queer community to have it seen only as a slur in the 2010s, a push that can be traced back to terf ideology.

Is the only term that includes all non cishet people

Homosexual

A medical diagnosis

Used for decades to make queerness into a mental illness

Used as a slur for the latter half of the 20th century

Rejected by the queer community as an acceptable term for a brief period of time in the early 2000s before coming back into fashion.

Only describes the experience of cis gay men and cis lesbians

Think what you want, believe what you will, but every word we have ever used to describe ourselves is coated in blood.

[do-angels-dream-of-starry-seas]

This is why it pisses me off when others try to order people around and say “don’t call them queer, it’s a slur!”

Like, literally every word that falls under LGBT+ has been used against us.

i gave my sister $100 for her bday, but i gave it to her in $1 bills that i folded into origami. so that’s how she pays for delivery food & now the pizza girl thinks she’s a stripper

[cornposting]

You’re really good at origami holy sh

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i learned it specifically to make these for this exact situation 

[realpersonscifi]

Aren’t you the same bitch that gave your sister $100 dollars in nickels?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

same bitch

[wetmetal]

Yeah, neither of these things happened 👍🏼

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

listen here my good hoe, i can’t find photos of the 2000 nickels or the 20 stars, but i did not spend weeks planning meticulously inconvenient birthday gifts over a period of years just to get whaled on by internet gremlins. here is some equally compelling evidence for an anecdote i was saving for later:

it weighed 68.6 lbs
