The Garment by Robert Cole

I had to immediately look for myself and I feel like this post needs the addition of the very first line in the pattern description

ID: a full body sketch of vedero drazhin from the goblin emperor. vedero is an elf woman with pointed ears and pale skin and hair. she is facing 3/4, her face in profile, and she holds a book to her chest in one hand, a journal in the other. she wears a long, stately, jacketed dress, with a pair of spectacles tucked into a breast pocket. the background resembles a starry sky with a large crescent moon framing her. end ID

The Archduchess Vedero Drazhin was a big woman, two inches taller than Maia himself, broad in the shoulder and hip. Her hair was smooth white silk, her eyes the Drazhadeise gray. Her features were strong but good and her presence one of tremendous dignity. Black did not become her, and he could see by the grayness of her face and her red-rimmed eyes that she had been weeping and had scorned to hide the evidence. He liked her the better for it, though he feared from the look she gave him that she did not like him and would not care whether he liked her or not.

Thank you for reporting this weird ass porn ad ☺️ no, we will not stop showing it to you 🤗 in fact, it's going to be the only ad you see from now on 🥰 yeah, that photo you posted got flagged as mature content because it shows a woman's shoulder 😇

the erasure of the rape element in mythological retellings is so heinous it borders on misogyny

[avicecaro]

it’s the idea that because rape as an act is misogyny, that talking about rape or including it in stories is also misogyny. as if acknowledging that women were denied agency and dignity somehow further denies us agency and dignity. when really, acknowledging the ways women were/are denied agency and dignity affirms that we are entitled to these things. a feminist story isn’t just a story in which no bad things happen to women. bad things do happen to women. pretending they don’t, and especially trying to superimpose that conviction onto the past, just because it isn’t as fun to dwell on, is not a feminist position.

Crazy how this quote from Bong Joon Ho is applicable every awards season

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

the problems with our flag means death could have been mostly resolved if they’d just not gone with real people’s names and had invented some imaginary guys who had never owned slaves but “stede bonnet” was too good a name to resist? stede bonnet? stede bonnet? whatever.

One of the things I love about Leverage is it would have been so easy to fumble Maggie: make her the tragic woman whose entire character is "lost her son" or make her the uptight straight woman to the team's hijinks, the life that Nate could have had, and escaped.

Instead she feels fully rounded. Yes, she's ostensibly "normal", doesn't understand the world the way the team does, doesn't really understand them and reacts to situations with a faith in authority they don't have. She's arguably far too trusting.

BUT she also happily leaps in to help a con. She's smart and incisive. She has a big heart. But a wicked sense of humour (the whole button cam thing!)

She's not threatened by Sophie and Nate, recognising the romantic part of her and Nate's relationship is over, but happy to build a new relationship with them both. Reminds Sophie that even when Nate calls her his wife, she calls him her ex.

She's deeply, deeply scarred by her loss but it hasn't made her closed off or bitter.

I totally think we should find out she ended up with Sterling, mind.
