After 10 months of dedication, I finally finished! I confess I was hesitant to post it, since I'm not a professional, but I feel I achieved a good result. by TheresaZoe
I do consider Wolverine's interactions with Jean and Scott in the first X-Men movie to be sort of an inverse unicorn hunter scenario. sometimes the unicorn hunts you. aggressively.
the thing is. Logan finally makes one (1) pass at Scott that's so straightforward even Scott can't write it off as homoerotic bickering over Jean, and it sends him into a tailspin. he doesn't even answer he just leaves the room. gracelessly. listen it's 2001 and like, okay, obviously Professor X is gay, Scott knows that, he's fine with it but like. jesus christ. he has enough problems with the whole mutant thing; Scott Summers has not been exploring the lush garden of latent bisexuality. plus he's like SO coupled up with Jean so it doesn't even matter, right? it doesn't even matter and he never had to think about this again, except he does and he's dating a telepath (FUCK) and she Knows something is up and he can't brush it off forever so he tries (fails) to casually bring it up. haha hey Jean you know I always thought Logan had a bit of a crush on you, but I think he tried coming onto me the other day, can you believe it? ("I think he tried coming onto me" here means "he offered to suck my dick with all the subtlety you'd expect from a man who's very popular in truck stop bathrooms," btw.) and Jean Grey, the Dark Phujoshi herself, cannot hide that this is huge for her. this solves so many of her problems. she's salivating and Scott can see it and she's realizing too late oh no Scott was Not into it like that, abort mission hard. except he saw how excited she was for a split second before she got a lid on it, so he knows, and she knows he knows, and he know she knows he knows. and now Scott can't Stop thinking about it, and the more he tries to not think about it the more he does, vicious cycle, and he keeps having these dreams about. well. what if. what if I did let him suck me off a little. which Jean knows about, obviously, because she's a telepath (FUCK). so she knows. and he knows she knows. and she must know that he knows she knows. but neither of them are saying anything about it, just sweating it out while Logan continues to slut around the school in a white tank top pretending he's not playing six dimensional mind game chess to land the plane on this threesome.
reminder to all disabled people that you’re allowed to tell people “i can’t do that” about stuff you can ‘technically’ do but which harms you or requires a period of recovery or preparatory rest etc. you don’t have to explain the complex nuances of your condition to anybody who demands it. i’ve found it’s honestly better to give the least amount of info about your symptoms unless you trust a person a lot. you hold the power over your health information. you choose whether or not to share the details of your condition with people who might not understand.
I think the phrase "I can't do that" usually carries the indirect implication "I can't (reasonably) do that."
For example, take the exchange,
"Can you work an extra shift on Saturday?"
"No, I'm not available."
The actual exchange implied here (unless the person asking really sucks) is more like,
"Can you (reasonably) work an extra shift on Saturday?"
"No, I'm not available (because I'm doing something else that day that it wouldn't be reasonable for me to drop just to pick up a shift)."
It doesn't necessarily mean, "No, I couldn't do it even at gunpoint."
Disabled people are so consistently held to unreasonable standards, though, that it's hard, as a disabled person, to calibrate your sense of what's reasonable.
But if you add the implied words back in, you get an exchange like,
"Can you (reasonably) help me move this table?"
"No, I can't do that (because it's not reasonable for me to injure myself to move this table and if you knew how much it would cost me you wouldn't have asked unless you are a jerk in which case why would I help you do anything?) .
I recognize that this is a Humorous Post, however it is an interesting question.
So obviously these actors are naturally pretty long-limbed, but the costumes are exaggerating that on purpose.
The trousers are straight-legged and fairly high-waisted, dark, cut long, and paired with a noticeable heel on the shoes. Jake's open vest de-emphasizes his hips and creates a pretty smooth visual line from his feet to his shoulders. Bashir's uniform has a similar effect, being dark and streamlined except for the details that emphasize his shoulders. Jake's 3/4 sleeves also visually lengthen his arms, and there's no decoration on Bashir's cuffs to break up and visually shorten the line of his arm.
The costumes in DS9 overall seem to lean towards these proportions. There's a lot of high waists, cropped tops, slimmed hips, lengthened legs, emphasized shoulders and long vertical lines. (The Ferengi get shorter, wider trousers and wide, busy necklines to make them look shorter and stockier.)
So these guys are roughly 80% legs because the wardrobe department looked at Robert Blackman's concept art and said, "Transmission received, setting legs to maximum."
Do you love the color of the legs?
(I'm no kind of expert on any of this, just casually interested in costume design.)
"retiring for the evening" is a very useful concept lol we should be free to say "i'm not gonna be chatting anymore tonight" without then having to pretend to be asleep. if we ever talk and you say goodnight don't stress it if i see you online later hahahahah
Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down.
Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls.
Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))
kermit and scooter riffing on how their physicality doesn't let them open the envelope to announce the winner. the audience immediately cracking up when it cuts to statler and waldorf because they know what the bit is gonna be. jim henson slipping into the kermit voice accidentally before bouncing back at record speed and riffing on it. richard hunt genuinely laughing at jim's joke but doing so in-character. prime muppets was something else man
Two more unused photos taken for the shards book project.
Tumblr allows me a lot more space to talk about my outfits so I thought I would break it down here.
Everything I’m wearing was purchased secondhand, mostly vintage:
I’m wearing a 60s or 70s (I think) embroidered short sleeved silk tang jacket as a shirt. These are often incorrectly called mandarin jackets. The tang jacket derives from riding jackets worn by Manchu horsemen. A shame you can’t really see the beautiful hand embroidery in any of these shots.
On top of that I’m wearing a herringbone black and tan men’s wool vest of indeterminate age.
The suit jacket is a men’s suit jacket from the 1960s. It is the same jacket I wore to the premiere of the shards.
The skirt I’m wearing is from the 1960s and appears to be a home sewing project.
The shoes are soft pig suede Hush Puppies brand shoes, and although this pair seems to be relatively modern, they are the same style of “desert” or “chukka” boot that was popular around the 70s and beginning of the 80s.
The tights seem to be modern, they were thrifted new in package, but you can see similar lurex legwear as far back as the 1960s.
The hat is seemingly fairly modern, although it’s a classic enough style to fit in with the 80s look.
The handbag had a receipt in it from 1985 when I thrifted it, although I believe it to be much older, from the 50s or 60s.
The crochet gloves were mailed to me by a follower, with the suggestion that I dye them black, which I did. The last decade women were really expected to wear gloves is the 1960s, but being homemade, there are no tags of any sort on the gloves so I’m not sure of the age.
The 8mm Kodak camera I believe is from the 60s
Most of the jewelry I’m uncertain of the age of, with a few exceptions:
Regardless of the actual age of the rhinestone earrings and necklace, it’s the sort of style popular in the mid-century, and by extension, the sort of thing people would’ve been thrifting in the 80s.
The silver pin is mid-century, and the gold tone question mark pin is from about WW2
The large brass bangle on my right wrist is probably from the 70s or early 80s
