#GIVE ME YOUR WARDROBE

[yesokayiknow]

okay so you know how it goes: fourteen comes to life in thirteen's clothes. and they're both too short and too loose and entirely too bright for his frame of mind. they worked with a doctor who hid everything behind a too wide smile; not so much with a doctor whose pain and tiredness is written across his face

he needs to change. obviously

and then the star beast starts, and fourteen leaves the tardis, and he's still in thirteen's clothes

he just. he doesn't know. how does he choose new clothes? he feels wrong. how will wearing something else change that?

(donna tells him that it's christmas, mate; it's bloody freezing. maybe wear longer trousers, yeah? also he's both too young and too old to wear braces. just a friendly note)

he doesn't have to explain who he is to the unit scientist, not with those clothes. instead he talks about how he doesn't understand why he looks like this. why he is this. why this face? why isn't he someone new?

actually. maybe he is someone new. was he ever this open before? hm

why do you look like that, sylvia hisses, trying to hide him from the daughter he destroyed ruined left

it's a lottery, he replies, purposely ignorant

he still has his thirteenth self's screwdriver. it's too small in his hands

(the whole time they were her, her hands were too small. she didn't like touching anyway, but whenever someone took her hand, it felt wrong. they were too small. sometimes it felt like if she worked fast enough, tinkered about without stopping, she wouldn't have to look at them)

everything goes wrong. his fault, like always

(blimey. of all the things to carry over from the first time he had this face, it had to be the guilt, didn't it?)

you shouldn't look like that, the doctordonna says, and he runs a hand down his face with a tired laugh

no, the doctordonna says, not the face. a hand reaches out to grasp at the collar of his shirt, at the dangling earring chain. this isn't you. who are you, doctor?

like he knows. like they've ever-

she dies.

she lives. he doesn't deserve it. it isn't about him. he still doesn't deserve it

we're letting it go, donna says, and he looks down at himself, at another him's clothes, another him's screwdriver

well, she never was subtle, his donna

the tardis is gorgeous, though when isn't she. he tries to show off his new console to donna, and she rolls her eyes, and drags him off to the wardrobe

unlike normally, where all the clothes are scattered about, the new tardis wardrobe now also has a line of wardrobes stood against the wall. fifteen of them, to be exact

the last wardrobe is open. and empty

he goes to the second to last, and opens it to reveal a wide array of rainbow patterned shirts. she probably would've hated for her things to be organised like this. always creating mess so she wouldn't have to think about anything important. he laughs. and he takes off the sky coloured coat and the worn boots and the earrings and gently places them inside. tag, he thinks, as he closes the doors

and then he moves down to the eleventh wardrobe, full of brown coats and blue suits and neatly pressed shirts and pairs of converse. and he stands in front of it. and he wonders

after a moment, donna's like wait do you want me to leave?? you never cared about nudity before, did you? and he's like oh actually i do feel more self conscious. huh. weird.

he doesn't have to say, i think i'm a different person. not to donna. she just gives him a smile, and a shoulder nudge, and tells him she'll see him in the console room

the last wardrobe is empty

he takes a breath, and then goes to rummage about in the rest of the clothes

#13 🤝 14 (🤝 12) -> dysphoria 😔 #doctor who #the doctor #fourteen #my fanfic #i mean ig #the tardis is including war. and so am i #the fugitive doctor's clothes are around somewhere also #then he leaves the wardrobe and donna's like literally all you've done is change your colour palette #and he's like oi i've only been me for a few hours! give me time to get a fashion sense! #and she's like well how long were you your last face #and he's like idk. bout a century? #and she's like i saw your clothes before this. that one had decades & never found a sense of fashion so i'm not holding my breath with you. #it's the new year i've decided to write about things only i still care abt probably dsakjlaskjl #why isn't this a proper fic. because i can't be bothered. hope that helps #bye im gonna go make brownies

Vocx (oc vox lol)/angel sugar baby contract??? Like as a up and coming business person(gender is optional when you can swap out parts!) vocx needs some arm candy and they know that angel is around somewhere not yet under Valentinos thumb. So vocx finds angel dancing in a club and notes that angel is easily the most talented person there so offers him a job as a professional sugar baby/escort. Angels job is to sit pretty on vocx’s arm and ward off the billion scary gold diggers gong for their wallet.

Vocx despite being ruthless, cutthroat, a little mean, and definitely dangerous— is not a total asshole and a genuinely decent person who takes care of his people. Being up close, near that gruff care quickly makes angel fall in love with vocx.

(I think vocx really respects angel as a professional with skills. He reads rooms well and manipulates well and he’s not stupid. Vox needs someone like angel on his arm to dazzle and distract.

And: this all makes Valentino violently jealous because that’s the spot he was angling for and this nobody got it instead????)

#vrrm vrrm #vocx: baby boy your standards are too low???? just because I pulled you up out of a dead end club #payed for a fancy wardrobe and hella jewelry and give you an unlimited tab for your salary #and treat you with manners and respect doesn’t mean you gotta pretend to be in love with me #angel: #angel: you’re so fucking stupid boss #the body electric

Hii Do you have a fave Janeway out-of-uniform look?

Ohh this is such a hard choice! There are so many reasons I like her out of uniform-- A lot of the time it's because we get to see who she is behind the veil. That couldn't be more apparent than in Resolutions, she flirts, explores and relaxes while she struggles to maintain her identity. She has like, 5 costume changes in that episode, albeit modest in design, they are quite revealing in a sub-textual way. Funnily enough, I actually would like to catalogue each time she is out of uniform and break down how it relates to the narrative etc. I sometimes ponder about the choices that have been made with hair and costume. We don't actually know much besides a few articles and scattered pieces of media--Most behind the scene information is about set design, which in it's own right is cool, but sometimes feels like it’s highlighted due to the male audience and as a result the other artists aren't valued enough. In theory, I'd like to uplift them because their efforts transform the lack frontal, narrative-body of some characters- we consequently learn things such as the fashion of the era, character’s states of mind, setting, etc, simply through what they are wearing– Do I dislike that? No. Because I understand the format of Star Trek is limited by the nature of being a 24 episode per season show. Sometimes things appear rushed or incomplete but if you look in the right direction, the work that was produced is just as rich as most shows, if not more. For the most part don’t think audiences appreciate the conditions that this show was made under.

The whole show has certainly been more impactful on the cultural zeitgeist than others and I think the reason for that success goes beyond the surface level- It’s not just a simple miracle that it works as well as it does, talented teams of actors, writers and people in costume all combined their skills together to forge it. They did the best they could with what they were given, and I appreciate the costume designers and writers for attempting to provide some semblance of substance in the background. (On another note I wish Paramount had archived their costumes better. Evil that we only get high resolution photography when they're selling them to someone's private collection)

However, to answer your actual question, my favourite out of uniform stint is when Captain Janeway is modified to look like a Klingon in the Killing Game! The disguise worked so well for me that I didn't recognise her on my first watch through.

Interestingly in the brief scene with brainwashed Janeway, we see an acting side of Kate's that is pretty rare. She delivered a unique and entertaining performance. While she has had to get physical on a few occasions as Janeway, and even other roles, she has never had to go full feral mode and I love seeing her in a way that is untethered from all of herself, she yells, bares her teeth, barrels into others, and does somersaults without hesitation. It's delightful choreography, and It immediately makes us question what is going on. Who is this? Can’t possibly be our well-adjusted hero, because whoever this is, is brazenly-fierce and in Klingon attire! But yes we find out it is indeed her, arguably a repressed version of her mind but regardless Janeway is completely transformed both physically and mentally, and that’s shockingly fun. 

Lending to that idea of fun, is the juxtaposingly detailed presentation of the Klingon costume versus the Starfleet uniform. I love the overall shapes, matte qualities contrasting with the metal details, the decorative line-work that leads the eye around, and materials such as swinging chains and fur, that make it look good in motion. From what I’ve seen there is a difference in the female and male armour, with the breast plating and bodice design. The armour’s bulky top half with its shoulder pads deliver a signature look, and it looks great against the simplified bottom. Considering Klingon’s do a lot of close combat, my guess is that it’s design is more about manoeuvrability, and boasting intimidation, rather than heavy defence. Ironically after all that ducking and dodging, ho ho Janeway gets stabbed for leaving her guard down. If I looked, I am sure I could find something to back that up, since Klingons have extremely dedicated lore. 

The makeup on Janeway is really neat too, the orange tones they used on her face make her crystalline eye colour dramatically pop. There is also a delicious parallel to her styling and B'Elanna's mother from Barge of the Dead in the episode that I quietly indulge in BUT I DIGRESS.

Despite the unusual circumstances, I wish we had more photography done of Kate in the unique costumes she wore beyond a few on set pictures, because I want to ogle at a more editorial/detailed press presentation of each one and I believe that everyone should treasure all versions of Janeway.

Blah Blah Blahhhh haha

I feel a little vulnerable spreading my thoughts around but I really appreciate you asking me about them and getting me out of my shell <333.

#i have an interest in technical things because of my media background and i wish things were treated with a bit more care and respect #kate could wear a paper bag and it would look amazing and intentional #i love killing game so based for giving us unique wardrobe pieces #CRIES I love Janeway sm I just think she's neat tee hee #if you made it to the end of my rambling bless your heart #feel free to give me more questions it's fun to answer them #PENSIVE ignore the grammatical mistakes i actually have poor word comprehension / borderline dyslexia i can see ive left out words too #klingon janeway is such a little freak :3 #shes so dreamy hehe like all klingon females kinda sexy tho

Re: your recent response about Draco wearing blue - fashion is not something I tend to pick up on (or understand very well generally), so I’m always curious to hear more about it! Do you have any other fashion thoughts you want to elaborate on? You’ve talked a bit about Draco and Hermione’s fashion, what about Harry or Ron?

Aw, yeah! I'll preface this by saying that the following is a combination of canon and headcanon; some of this is evidenced in the text of the fic, but some of it probably isn't, it's just something that's in my head when describing them.

Harry's pretty small in Lionheart, as a consequence of chronic malnutrition in childhood mixed with a genetic predisposition to it (James is canonically a short king, cf. "Hairy Little Christmas.") That means a lot of his muggle clothes don't fit well, being hand-me-downs from Dudley; in contrast, his school robes, which we know he got tailored at Malkin's, seem to fit normally (i.e., Harry fits better in the magical world, it's his home, it suits him). In general, Harry's fashion is "adequate, but not great," which makes sense; he never had the chance to choose his own clothes growing up, and then he went to boarding school with a uniform, so when would he develop a sense of style? Honestly, it's a relief for him to have one fewer decisions to make.

Like Ron, Harry's uniform isn't super meticulous, but he seems to make an effort. He does his tie and keeps his shirt clean, etc. (which makes sense; Harry cares about belonging here). When we see Harry out of uniform, he's usually wearing baggy t-shirts and jeans, which are the least nice clothes you could give to someone while still expecting them to last; they're also clothes that fit loose and hang long on his body (very late-80's + early 90's).

Ron, on the other hand, doesn't have any qualms about belonging in the magical world; he was born to it. This manifests as a laziness with his robes. He doesn't bother with his tie as much, if at all, and when he does it's not the right knot (Draco points it out in Book 3); since he's the brother of not one but two Head Boys, we have to assume that's deliberate, or that at some extent his lack of attention is a deliberate manifestation of something. Ron is youngest boy, he has self-esteem issues, and the way this manifests is by Ron never asking for anything and then getting sour when nothing goes his way. He doesn't try, so he can't feel bad when he fails. Besides which, when Ron does try to dress nice, it backfires; it's either an uncomfortable costume, like in "Operation Prewett," or it's a horrible hand-me-down, e.g. the Yule Ball outfit. Contrast him with the other Weasley boys, many of whom — especially the three oldest — have their own cultivated aesthetics, because they all know who they are. Ron is figuring that out, and it manifests in stylistically messy ways.

#fun fact: the scene with Harry and Draco at Madame Malkins is a scene I axed for efficiency #but I like to imagine they both went they just did on a different day #I looped back around to it at the end of book 3 like oh haha actually Narcissa prefers Savile Row #like I get why Harry's here — why is Draco putting off his tailoring until they're about to leave? #come to think of it: Draco grew up in a pureblood family. Doesn't he already own a set of robes? Or several? #Are the Hogwarts robes That Different from the bog-standard garment you'd have in your wardrobe as a 10y/o wizarding child? #this is of no consequence whatsoever #except on the set-dressing question of what it is the hogwarts robes actually look like #because the movies give us this simple (easily mass-produced for their billion extras) black hooded situation #I THOUGHT I read somewhere that the ties-by-house theme was fanon but I cannot be arsed to check #I just know that Harry is able to clock people by their House even when he doesn't know their names #which implies to me there's a visual marker; either a badge or a tie #greenteacup asks

earlier tonight my roommates were talking about the halloween party they're planning in a couple weeks (i will be out of town) and since the convo went towards "party supplies needing to be purchased" one of my roommates mentioned that she had the present she's planning on getting me for my birthday in her digital shopping cart already and then made a little mischievous face at me. and like it's sweet i suppose but my idea of "celebrating" my birthday is basically acting like it doesn't exist cause i'm kind of...uncomfortable with receiving Direct Praise And Attention especially for things i don't think are worth it (for example, Existing Another Year). at any rate my idea of the perfect gift this year would be Not being stuck in rehearsal until 10pm that night but that will certainly not be the case so whatever

#other roommate also kept asking me for the date and i almost weaseled my way out of giving it to her but alas. persistent she was #the most 'celebrating' i ever do (if i do Anything actually For the occasion) is just. a nice dinner out somewhere with my mom #and if there's a good show playing nearby we'll go to see it #but that's no more special than any other occasion really. we'll just do that if the schedule permits anyway once or twice a year #(also my parents usually insist on like. getting me a new skirt or something but much as i love them my wardrobe is full enough as it is #at this point haha. i'm more comfortable anyway receiving gifts for holidays like hanukkah or Just Because than for my bday specifically #cause then it doesn't feel like it's just About Me. y'know. anyway) #'so does this mean your birthday is coming up soon 👀?' no and shut up i've never aged a day in my life. i was never born. etc #i wanna talk about me

I visited both Goethe's and Schiller's houses today. take a look at their respective offices!

what struck me here was the choice of colour. seem familiar?

yeah. Mister Hamilton's office was also obnoxiously green. and to add insult to injury, I painted a wall in my office space (living room lol) green years ago.

what is it about the colour green that makes writers go cock over balls insane 😭

#i actually really enjoyed how colourful everything was. the wallpaper? the wallpaper TRIMMINGS? incredible #it's such a nice contrast to Modern White Grey Black. girl give me blue and green and yellow rooms. put wallpaper on your wardrobes #rayrambles

people who treat hamsters like disposable pets and seem almost proud about not caring what happens to them. i hope you are shot btw

#the carelessness with which people treat hamsters because they are small + have short life spans. i will eat you #remember my boss coming to work with her six year old daughter one day holding a new hamster in a box #and my boss going yeah accidentally let the old one eat a whole load of chocolate haha! um kill yourself sorry #if you cannot bring yourself to care about the fate of a tiny animal you should not get one as a pet!! ‘haha my hamster got loose and ended #up trapped behind a wardrobe!!’ so would it be pretty funny too if i hit your cat with a car. thought not!! #anyway. silly rant stupid rant about a silly topic but i have never had a dog or a cat but #I have had three hamsters and the way people will buy them and then not seem to give a shit what happens about them is. horrible actually! #this goes for all small animals also. hamsters fish guinea pigs what have you. if you have such a low capacity for love that you are not #capable of extending it to an animal smaller than a cat then. don’t get pets i think!! #someone once told me they used to send their childhood hamster down a garden slide as a joke. my current hamster we only have #because someone tipped him out onto the street and we found him. what the fuck is wrong with people!! gross!! #small animal pets are not like. a tester pet for a big animal that you can afford to neglect or mistreat you understand that right #(ridi's) bigmouth strikes again

shows up with an enormous stuffed lion. it's quite cute, all things considered, and yan qing's head soon peeks out from behind the soft mass of it, his eyes pinched above his usual grin. ' na, show-dog! d'ya like these sortsa things? ' without any further warning, the plush is pushed into the other's arms. ' well, either way, it's yours now! do whatever ya want with it, enjoy! '

IT’S  MASSIVE.  Just  unwieldly  enough  to  render  any  effort  of  keeping  stout  hold  of  it  with  some  semblance  of  dignified  grace  null.  Par  for  the  course  with  Yan  Qing,  no  amount  of  trying  could  bring  Wolfram  to  a sensible  understanding  as  to  what  he’d  ever  done  or  said  to  wind  up  the  recipient  of  these undue . . .   attentions.  Stuffed  animals  of  any  and  all  shapes  and  sizes  more  suited  his  elder  brother  by  far, while lion  imagery  certainly  suited  his  other  older  brother more.  Himself  the outlier left  with  no  connection  nor  particular  soft  spot  for  either, because he'd long since stopped counting the years since he had last embraced such a childish thing in his arms ( mane's soft fuzz tickling his nose . . . ) — and furthermore, bunnyrabbits made for cuter plush toys by far ! In principle, that is.

〝  It’s  very,  〞      Offering  help  up  before  him  to  the  best  of  his  ability  for  appraisal,  lips  twisted  in  grimace  that  was  as  confused  as  it  was  candidly, earnestly contemplative.      〝  soft.  Flammable.  Hmph. I  might  use  it  for  target  practice,  since  you  proclaim  it  of  no  concern  to  you  either  way.  〞

Bark  notwithstanding,  even  Wolfram  probably  isn’t  so  callous  as  to  reduce  a  gift  to  shreds  or  ashes.  A  stupid,  unsolicited  gift,  but  a  gift  nonetheless — his quarters certainly spacious enough to find room for such a silly thing, prudently tucked away from any third party's line of sight.  He  supposes. 

NOT THAT THIS MAKES THEM FRIENDS.
