#AND THE TRANS COLORED JACKET

[fractangle]

Behold, The Meme Jacket

This jacket arrangement position is called "LOOK AT MY ARMPITS."

Here's a close-up of the collar and lapels with the jacket laying normally:

The snaps on the lapels hold them open, but can also be snapped closed, which is nice on windy days.

Here's the front of the jacket as it's intended to be seen:

I was very particular about how I designed and arranged these: much like how the back only has color in the middle, I wanted to keep the bright colors to the center. The two brightly colored patches are meant to read like a two-panel comic, or some sort of call-response thing, whatever. The patches along the bottom are meant to read left to right, almost like a four-panel comic. (The Awesome Face patch is just there because it fit.)

What's not obvious from these pictures is that there are inside pockets, which connect to the zippered side pockets! I don't tend to actually use this feature very much, but it does make the pocket space hugely tall in there.

Another feature I don't tend to use very much is the zip-off sleeves. I think I've only ever taken the sleeves off once (plus a few times when sewing patches on, to make it easier to reach where I was working).

The googly eye buttons are holding up moderately well - I might need to replace one of the eyes by next year. If you're gonna do this yourself, you gotta put a metal keyring of the same size behind the googly eye! Wrap the keyring in a piece of fabric (I used the tubular bit from the bottom edge of a t-shirt), and sew it to the button band. Then, glue the googly eye onto the fabric with enough glue to also glue the fabric to the keyring. (I used superglue for this.)

All in all, it's been an incredibly fun project, and one that I get lots and lots of use out of! I'm sure I'll add to it at some point, but I'm calling its current state "done (v1.0)".

#meme jacket #diy #sewing #battle jacket #diy punk #originally the among us patch was going to be fully saturated colors: red killed green in front of blue #and i actually made that patch #but then i realized i wanted a much paler patch so i started redoing it (thankfully the among us characters were linocuts) #so i printed the scene again in white (the way i did the colors was to paint over the linoprint) #and once it dried i started painting the colors onto them. first light blue. then pink. #as i'm shaking the bottle of green paint i realize i've made a trans pride among us murder scene patch completely by accident #i'm okay with this. hell yeah

[Image description : three drawings of characters from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego, lined with black ink and colored with pencils. Carmen is wearing a striped shirt with the colors of the original Gilbert Baker flag, and she and Player are draped with a large transgender flag. They are looking at each other and smiling. Julia, her hands in her pants' pockets, wears a brown leather jacket and a horizontally-striped shirt the colors of the lesbian flag. She is looking at the viewer and smiling. Devineaux, his hands on his hips in a proud posture, wears a vintage-styled jacket in the colors of the transgender flag. /End description]

To cap off this pride month, a few of my queer headcanons for Carmen Sandiego (2019) characters!

I headcanon Player as a trans boy and Carmen as a trans woman! I also definitely think Carmen's sapphic but I don't have a more specific identity in mind for her.

Julia is a lesbian ofc. Her shirt is inspired by this retro lesbian shirt! If I had seen it before inking I would have made it an actual shirt with a collar and all but alas I saw it too late.

And I headcanon Devineaux as a trans man. His jacket was heavily based on this vintage jacket, obviously with the colors reworked. That's his new lucky coat probably.

(I have headcanons for other characters but since they're less fixed I won't talk about them here)

#carmen sandiego 2019 #carmen sandiego #player cs #julia argent #chase devineaux #my art #yeah it's the beginning of july. what about it. i finished these the night of the 30th of june it still counts #some additional notes that i don't want to clog the description up with : #imagine player and carmen going to pride together. just imagine it 🥺 #julia's jacket is a nod to treasures of knowledge's jules who wears a similar jacket! #my thought process can often be boiled down to 'omg they chose their own name... trans' #now obviously that's mostly true for devineaux. it started as a fun haha thought after s4 and now it just is. #carmen obviously has a lot more trans coding. and i love the idea of her and player being t&t #i can't for the life of me imagine julia as anything other than a lesbian #fun fact about me is i can't design clothes. so if they look any more elaborate than 'pants and shirt' i probably needed a ref or five #also colouring with pencils is hard. i hope the colors are mostly fine i stared at them for so long i don't want to look at them anymore #now i have another set of drawings i wanted to finish for the end of s2 but they're LATE bc the last drawing is taking forever #someone (me) had the brilliant idea of drawing a fucking detailed pattern by hand instead of making a pattern with photoshop. smh

last night at the show my friend took this sick picture of the back of my jacket without me knowing which normally I hate but I love my jacket so here check her out

#I actually just made the palestinian flag one a couple weeks ago and im kinda proud of how it turned out #kinda hard to tell in this picture bc of the filter he put over it but the future is queer patch is stitched w trans flag colors #the stitches alternate between pink blue and white! #i always have to point it out to people bc it took me forever and i need people to see it lol #should i post a pic of the front some time? #i am stupid proud of this jacket. now i just need to finish my pants and make one for my friend

Just saw the new spider-verse

We all agree that Gwen is trans right?

#like I think her dad had a trans patch on his jacket #and there was definitely a ‘protect trans kids’ flag above her door #and the color scheme is a bit obvious #spider gwen #across the spider verse spoilers #spider verse spoilers #across the spiderverse #transgender

Jono being ace is so important to me.

Also if your gonna start a fight in the notes because of Sugar Kane here’s a paragraph from the first prose novel.

#the ace and trans flags are obvious #but his jacket is also colored as a bi flag #my art #jonothon starsmore #jono starsmore #x men chamber

I finished sketching and coloring Metal but I have insanely mixed feelings on it so I think I’m gonna be posting two versions, so congrats fellow Metal fans my bias is convincing me to do more work

#it’s mainly the design that’s messing with me #Cause actual art wise I think I did as good as I always do #But after it’s colored the design doesn’t hit the way I want it to #It’s mainly the skirt and jacket #I feel like I made the skirt too long and wide so I’m gonna shorten it a bit and and make it a lot slimmer #Probs not like fitted or anything but once you see it it’ll make sense what I mean #As for the jacket I think I may remove it for the second look #I think the jacket AND skirt both is too much #So I may replace the jacket with a necklace to keep that yellow at the chest there #Maybe one day I’ll do another look where she has the jacket and no skirt but damnit #I promised y’all a skirt so you’re gonna fucking get one #Metal sonic #trans metal sonic

gwen stacy being transgender is literally canon

#bluebird.txt #the trans pin on her dad's jacket? the pride flag on her wall? the trans colors when she said that she felt like she was #hiding half of herself? #atsv spoilers #spider-verse #she is transgender.

[transgnckon]

I want to stick Kon in these outfits bc I think they’re fun

#txt #Cool Lev doll is so transgender like why else does he have he/him on his jacket & trans colors -_- #EDIT ITS JUST (HE) but still trans

[sleeping-satan]

*has a badass drawing idea of white, pink, and blue hyacinths growing out of a cracked-open skull sitting in a pool of blood as a reference to Apollo and Hyacinthus and to have as a metaphor for trans pain, beauty, and as a mockery of cis people claiming that they 'lost' a loved one because they're transitioning*

Hyacinths: One of the most complex fucking flowers I could've fucking chosen.

Fucking bullshit

#because the story is also gay as fuck I hope to eventually make other pride flag colors #but trans first because I want it as the main back patch on a battle jacket

[larrycommitsarson]

sorry guys but i gotta post more about transmasc ash (i’m not really sorry lmao)

back when ash and larry were younger ash decided to take one of larry’s hats, larry forgot (he has a shitty memory because haha projection go brr)

the aftermath of this is ash and larry fighting each other like rabid animals (because ash is stubborn and he refuses to give it back) and sal is trying his best to break them up

todd’s probably just watching this all go down in the background

#larry’s art #sally face #sally face fanart #sal fisher #larry johnson #ashley campbell #ash campbell #asher campbell #transmasc ash #haha transmasc ash go brr #also it’s the trans trio ever #i forgot to color in part is ash’s jacket and I never drew larry’s scars but fuck it #i’m too tired to fix it

[snowshinobi]

still not over the time i told a recent friend (now recent bf) i liked his shirt (pale blue-grey polo w narrow white horizontal stripes, compliments his fluffy light brown hair + hazel eyes) and several lunch walks later he said he can’t remember the last time someone complimented him on his outfit. i think my heart audibly cracked

#where to even start with this like. #HE LOOKS GOOD. FREQUENTLY. #he matches the accent colors of his band tees to his pants and/or shoes. my fave combo rn is #the black The Who tee (white and red lettering on both sides) + cream shorts + black sneakers w red accents #he does the accent matching thing subconsciously btw. i pointed out ''your sneaks match the shirt that's cool'' he was like ''oh they do'' #no one ever said anything huh #my understanding is dudes are hesitant to compliment other dudes bc they fear being called gay for it. classic homophobia making life worse #first and foremost for gay ppl but also for the straights #and women are hesitant to compliment dudes bc they worry he'll take it as flirting. classic heteronormative #''women and men can't be just friends'' + ''she asked for it'' garbage making life worse first and foremost for women but also for men #and yeah also all genders of trans and/or enby folks may be hesitant to compliment guys bc they fear being hatecrimed. can ya blame em?? #look at the fucking statistics #on the one hand not being constantly judged for their presentation is a win for men. i love the compliments but it's also unnerving how #ready ppl are to appraise my appearance #that said it sucks that men getting pos attention for looking nice on the daily is so rare #all that suit hype yet no love for subtle accent matching. sweet kicks. a good sturdy jacket. FLANNELS #also would it kill us to tell guys their facial hair looks good? multiple guys ive dated have asked my opinion on their facial hair choices #before stating what their preference is. i'd get asking out of curiosity or wanting to know how it affects the kissing texture #but dude. man. my guy. people who love you will kiss you anyway even if it's a lil fuzzier than they prefer. #what's important is you like it #idk how to condense all this into occasional normal compliments anymore i just tell #bunny boy #his hair is pretty and his taste in band Ts fucks and spend 30 seconds curling and uncurling his fingers bc his hands are nice #sigh #snowswords
