I need to ramble because I find the PLT rebrand as an “Old Money/Heritage brand to be almost a form of performance art (or satire). Because there’s no craftsmanship in cheap, mass-produced polyester rubbish that ends up in landfill after one wear,simply because the workers can’t have craftsmanship—they have to work at volume. So it becomes a paradox.

Also the irony is that the only thing ‘Old Money’ (UGH) about PLT is the business model that relies on the horrific exploitation of working-class people, both in the UK and in the Global South (which would have easily fit in with the worst old school colonialists).

And this is exactly why aesthetic-chasing is the death of style (Mina Le made a great point about being able to guess someone’s screen time by their outfit). You’re just buying a plastic dress and hoping it makes you look like you belong to a different social class. You’re not even buying it because you appreciate the craftsmanship, the pattern, or the design. You’re buying it because you want to look wealthier than you are. I can’t wrap my head around it. You’re literally wearing a poorly sewn bin bag, nobody is going to bow and call you my lord. Or do they wear them to the fake private jet photoshoots to shill a course?

It has to be satire at this point???

in my experience a lot of the fandom hates fitz because of how he reacted to sophie being unmatchable. but like. he’s in love with her but he also knows how much scorn being a bad match will bring not just on him but his FAMILY. who have already been through so much. and on SOPHIE. who has gone through it too. people love painting him as selfish for this but he’s not

and also yes. he gets angry a lot. but he’s SO valid for it most of the time. the first time was when alden’s mind broke. which was. he was grieving, something elves are notoriously bad at. and he APOLOGIZED mind you. he acknowledged that he was terrible to sophie and he APOLOGIZED. and then again when he was angry at alvar. who again brought a bunch of scorn on not only fitz but his entire family. fitz had every right to be angry about that. and more so that he was the only one who was worried about letting alvar go back to everglen which was also so valid. alvar literally tortured some of his closest friends and everyone just shrugged it off. he wasn’t feeling seen or heard and he was reacting in the only way he knew how. fitz is NOT a bad person!!!

in front of you there is a berry. it is either a truthberry that always tells the truth or a lieberry. what question do you ask the berry to determine its identity?

idk if this is a woke take but i’m annoyed by the fact that #intersex #gay and #pride month are bisexual colored and not intersex, nwlnw, and rainbow colored respectively. idk it just feels weird to me.
