reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

20 glorious years of memes, fanfic, and bonding over fictional idiot boys. Love you @rainnecassidy

never be good at your job. it's a trap. they'll just give you more and harder stuff to do and it'll pull you away from your true passion of writing gay fanfiction for people on the internet

I like how seven years later you can say “steve rogers ending” and we all rise like sleeper agents ready to beat the dead horse

Happy Mother’s Day

If you have a good mom, do nice things for her!

If you don’t have a good mom, Sophie is your mom now. Go do crime.

If you ARE a good mom, I hope you have a great day.

If you’re a bad mom, Sophie is coming to steal your children.

Adding important info to this post ^^

These outfits costs that much because they are handmade extremely intricate extremely time intensive wearable art. I think it’s awesome that these designers (read: artists) get this opportunity to be paid appropriately to make their incredible art. You (presumably) don’t complain about other forms of art costing millions of dollars. We want people to value the work of artisans more, not less!!!

Tl;dr it’s not just “an outfit” it’s a piece of art and deserves to be treated as such

It's not just about paying the designers, it's also about paying the weavers, dyers, and other artisans who make the materials, usually on heirloom equipment and sometimes involving endangered crafts; and the possibly hundreds of people involved in patterning and constructing the garments. And depending on the design we also have specialists, like the corsetieres who engineer the structures underneath it all; the embroiderers, beaders, pleaters, trim weavers, passimenterie houses, silk flower makers, lace makers etc involved in embellishing the garment; the milliners, glovemakers, jewelers, shoemakers, leatherworks, 3D modelists etc who are commissioned to accessorize the look. Each look involves many, many, hours of work by many, many, people; all of whom have undergone specialized education to develop their skills and qualify for their positions.

I think many people on tumblr care about fair compensation for artists and fair compensation for garment workers, and this is the intersection of those issues. It's not like ready-to-wear luxury goods where the high price tag comes from an insane mark-up that all goes into the pockets of the company; the high price is due to the labor and quality materials involved, and designers make very little profit on these pieces or may even lose money on them.

Like just in case y'all didn't realize: everything you see on that red or whatever color it is this year carpet is 90% stitched by hand

I think "money spent on extravagant art is a waste that should be spent on helping the poor" or whatever is a valid stance that I won't dismiss out of hand, but if you feel that painting, sculpture, music, theater, etc are valid uses of resources for human artistic expression, but fashion and fiber arts are frivolous vanity... I mean... Spot The Feminine Coded Art Form. 🤷🏻‍♀️
