(do not) love how femme has become aestheticized to the point where low-income folks that can’t support themselves financially develop imposter syndrome bc they’re unable to relate to everybody else posting about their expensive self care products/jewelry/clothing and how it’s intrinsically linked to their identity
Carl Andre dead at 88, comfortable, rich, celebrated in the art world. Whereas Ana Mendieta never got to have her full life and express all that she wanted to explore through her art. Truly the petty injustice of life is cruel in such disappointing ways.
Miguel: Every Spiderman follows the cannon. There are no deviations. There are no exceptions.
Spidergang with no dead uncles, their friend Gwen is fine, Sheriff Bronson didn't die saving a kid, etc. because four super powered teens and one super dog can cover a lot of bases and help each other better than one dude helping New York alone with only Daredevil and Deadpool sometimes: Yall hear sumn?
not saying to throw shade at the model ( I won't credit them for this exact reason) it's a simple question : is this wig helping the model to tell a story? NO ! it's just there
( this editorial don't even have a concept plus look terrible)
the only reason the wig is there it's cause they consider the afro textured hair a fashion element just like clothes ,bags and shoes . it is what it is
many black models , facing this tremendous amount of concern and apprehension about it... ( wearing wigs or box braids bc hairstylists dont do black hair at fashion shows )
it's fucking 2024 , you got countless black models out there willing to empower others by proudly showing their natural hair
so what is the excuse???
I don't even like when people say " it's a magazine no one cares about magazine nowadays" no baby , it's on internet, Once you post a picture online it is public forever.
paints propaganda murals and portraits by day and creates children's books by night
wrote and cast a spell that erased all visual representation of themselves in retaliation to pictures of themselves existing without consent
the public facing reason to the spell being cast is that they would rather the heroes of the empire they paint to be remembered rather than their own face
Arsay is not one to boast, but still she would speak of her roles and titles with pride. She saw them as proof of her worth in the world.
After a break from facing apocalyptic scenarios, Arsay has begun to learn that she should strive to view herself beyond her accolades.
“Social media has made this generation so narcissistic and self centered everyone’s always posting selfies and posting about everything they do during the day” shut up. The human desire to show you exist and you were here is innate and we’ve been doing it since the days we were leaving hand prints on cave walls
where jjba differs from chainsaw man is that jojo is almost fundamentally unconcerned with its characters as people. characters are conduits for morals or metaphors. we all joke that nobody in jojo talks like a person but to be entirely frank almost nobody is treated like one either. chainsaw man is a story about denji learning about love. golden wind is a story about the death of justice and innocence and children...that's why jojo characters are so fascinating because they're barely meant to be characters at all. it's so interesting to see the bare moments where the action and magic is pulled back enough that you see a glimpse of personhood
Can I say something. I think that a lot of the time the discussions about Dutch and Hosea often diminish Hosea’s actual character and importance in the story as his own person with his own personality, motivations and role in the narrative of the game
My favorite part of my Adventure Time binge is I pick what looks like the most silly episodic episode with a weird title and a plot that seems pretty open and shut and it goes in the most unexpectedly painful and lowkey horrifying direction that leaves me shook. I expected shenanigans and got an existential crisis instead.
Permission to be a nerdy expert and deeply thirsty for two minutes.
I am begging - begging - fashion writers et al to realise that “Victorian” is a specific time period and place, not an entire century. And if you must insist on the Darcy comparison (about which more anon), then recognise that Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, aka the Georgian/Regency period. (Victoria wouldn’t become queen for almost two decades.)
And that being said: I stand by my read of the whole look being far more 1830s European Romantic.
Now that I’ve got my nerdy twitching out of the way: I would like to hear more about the whole “making a shirt that’s nicely oversized and designed to be opened like that” design process please and thank you. 😘
