last movie/show: also Neptune Frost— still swirling around in my mind. And I kind of watched the Grammys?

sweet/spicy/savory: hmm…. can i say salty atm? I guess that’s sort of savory

relationship status: v single

last thing i googled: “still the one lurics” (spelled lyrics wrong, wanted to sing along to the boygenius cover)

current obsession: applying for jobs 😔 I’ve also been in a YouTube void for awhile, but idk if that counts.

#contemporary scifi costuming is going to look painfully 2020’s in a few years

Already does. In Star Trek Picard S2 when they went back in time to 2024, none of the characters had to change their outfits because their 25th century fashion was just like, normal jackets t-shirts and trousers in a variety of black, grey and brown fabrics. A stark contrast to early TNG, where - while everything looked painfully 80’s - the non-uniform attire was all fun shapes and textures that didn’t actually resemble off the shelf clothes as far as I’m aware*

*(I say this because i missed the 80’s by a couple of years)

[milkywayan]

I wrote my thesis in fashion school about scifi in the 60s (with 1/3rd being dedicated to TOS), and the amazing TOS outfits are thanks to William Theiss who managed to use the extremely limited budget they had to make amazing costumes, using things like cheap table decoration and tacky 60s decor to craft insanely cool scifi outfits

Even the uniforms are AMAZING from a tailor perspective!

They didn’t want ugly zippers to show so the closures of the uniforms are in the seam of the raglan sleeve!!!!

In all the new adaptations they are lazy and don’t do raglan and put the zippers in the back and it looks shit

Not even to mention the incredible lines of the womens uniforms!!!

Like look how smartly the lines for the pattern go, to not just have boring darts in places! These costumes STILL look futuristic!

You could not even see this on 1960s TVs!

I’m feral about this btw

1. OK, THIS IS NOT YOUR GRAVE, GET OUT OF THIS HOLE

2. OK, THIS IS ALSO NOT YOUR GRAVE, GET OUT OF THIS HOLE

3. THIS IS ALSO NOT YOUR GRAVE, GET OUT OF THIS HOLE

4. THIS IS NOT OUR GRAVE, GET OUT OF THIS HOLE

5. LOOK AT THE SKILL AND SPIRIT WITH WHICH I RISE FROM THAT WHICH RESEMBLES THE GRAVE BUT ISN’T.

Why I Am Not Coming Into Work Today

Dear employers,

I will have to take the day off today because:

☐ It’s December and the streets are papier-mached with wet bronze leaves and it’s so dark outside that the cars have their headlights on at 3pm

☐ I have recently been through a breakup, or I have been through a breakup at any time in my life really, and I woke up today with the absolute conviction that I will never be loved again

☐ A dog looked at me

☐ I got a text from someone for whom I feel a mix of concern and frustration and recognition and longing that is both more and less than romance

☐ Someone made a joke about dead pets meeting you in heaven

☐ Daylight savings time

☐ I passed a knot of flowers that were so bright they glowed through the dim grey water of the day and when was anything in my life last that luminous?

☐ Girls are too pretty

☐ For the first time I genuinely comprehend that there is not enough time to have all the lives I wanted

☐ I accidentally listened to Leonard Cohen
