This doublet is a great example of how high-definition television has transformed what audiences can see on screen. Every stitch, trim, and texture is now visible, pushing makeup artists, set designers, and costume designers to elevate their craft and focus on even the smallest details.   In 2016, this richly detailed piece was worn by Timothy Omundson as King Richard in 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕, where the clarity of HD truly showcased its smaller details.   But that’s not where it began its life! Several years earlier, it appeared on Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon in the third season of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒖𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒔.   The piece likely originated with Benedick Blythe as Phoebus in the 1997 television production of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒆 (also known simply as 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌).   Interestingly, while the craftsmanship was always there, it’s far more difficult to appreciate with the lower resolution of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌. It isn’t until 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕, with its crisp high-definition image, that the full detailing of the doublet truly comes into view—revealing just how much care and detail went into creating this remarkable costume.

Once again finding myself enamored with a weird as fuck monster woman.

[geo-wright-or-wrong]

I hope that one day I am able to promote fat positivity and portray a heavier person as attractive not in spite of but because of their body type as effortlessly as in "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" by John Wiswell. Just read it and I wanted to gush on here about the very positive representation both as someone who has a similar type and who finds that same type attractive.

It's rare to see. And it's not just mentioned in the beginning character description, it's throughout the entire book. Like the author is kind enough to be like "Don't forget! she's built." every few chapters lest we forget and paint her as a typical damsel.

Homily is fat and Shesheshen is wild about it. Also they're kind of both ace, so it's not carnal or anything but on the other hand there is plenty of talk about devouring so like I think my point stands.

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

The Bathers (1853)

Just in case anyone hasn't caught on -

The reason AI programs like Gemini are programmed to encourage you to let it make basic life choices for you like what restaurant you should eat at is because they intend to monetize your patronage.

It's just a matter of time before the AI stops offering you the most highly rated option in the area or whatever aligns most closely to what you requested (If it's even doing that now) and instead only recommends restaurants that have paid the company for that privilege.

Restaurants that won't pay Google to recommend them to AI users are going to become functionally invisible, whereas those who are willing to purchase what amounts to targeted advertisements laundered through an AI "friend" will get new customers regardless of their quality.

Basic rule: If you aren't paying for something, that means you're the product.

Google Maps already does this, preferring more distant sponsored results over closer non-sponsored ones. All the claims that these algorithms make the same choices you would make if you just had the time and energy to research them are totally false. They make the choices that lead to profitable results for the companies that program them, with a user interface that gaslights you into thinking it was your idea all along.

[aqueerkettleofish]

You can see this at work already in Google Play store-- you search for an app, and the only time the app you're looking for is the top result is when the company behind the app has paid for the privilege-- in which case you'll see it twice.

You can also see this at work on Amazon, when searching by exact product name can sometimes put your result on the second or third page, while you scroll through alternatives that Amazon wants to sell you.

Etsy is also deeply terrible for this

trans woman vs surprise eviction

woke up to a series of angry texts a couple days ago; my landlord believes that all the recent tenants moving out are because of me and the other remaining tenant - though for my money it's definitely because of the conditions of this building and the way he's refused to fix anything. regardless we've got a month to leave or hes going to start eviction paperwork, and my bf has a clean record for that. we don't want to cause him any extra trouble, he put his neck out to cover for us and our low income to get this place to begin with so i've got a month to find a place, and come up with the money for a security deposit. we should be able to cover the rent itself, but that's still *about 1000-1300$ in my area. (sorry, this got edited out somehow in the first version of this post) making an aid post at this time feels... weird and wrong, while everyone is struggling harder than ever to put food on the table, and there are tons of gaza donation posts that also need your attention, i still have to do whatever i can to make sure my mom and my disabled ass have a home if you're seeing this, and you can spare anything at all, please consider assisting us in trying to make sure we can safely find a place. paypal.me/treesinspace / cash.me/$ggbwallac3 if you can't donate, you can still help: please just hit the reblog button so others can assist or reblog, too.
