#but you don't even wear glasses

[vellichorom]

Sorry, a COSPLAY GUIDE?????? I MUST AQUIRE but I am too anxiety to even not send an anonymous ask let alone message my biggest fucking idol rn

& AQUIRE YOU SHALL! this rinkydink little " cosplay guide " ( if this can be considered one, i'm not a cosplay expert so i'm not sure ) was something i whipped up in an hour for a twitter meme back in APRIL of last year.

i picked the best & most accurate looking items in clothing + bare minimum accessories i could find on google & simply SLAPPED it on this page with little more regard to anything else.

HAVING SAID THAT, I didn't take into account any kind of budget while making this, so be advised if you should go looking for these items in specific. ( also the sweater was an ebay find & it was actually GREEN not orange, i just edited it, but if you can find a comfortable orange sweater, maybe with stripes, you're golden ) i always recommend the cheapest you can get for- what could probably be considered closet cosplay, in this regard.

& hey! if you DO want to cosplay thierry, i would be EXTREMELY honored & would love pictures if you'd like to send or post some! don't worry too much about the specifics & just have fun with what you're doing, add all the accessories & details you want, & go nuts!

EDIT; YOU ARE TOO NICE TO ME OP DON'T BE SO SHY NOW <3

#anonymous #inbox #TSP blogging #Thierry tag #ALSO YES he wears garterbelt socks even though you have never seen them before. yes he's gay & so are you #ALSO THE GLASSES SHAPE & COLOR REALLY DON'T MATTER #i just picked up whatever in that regard #AGAIN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE SPECIFICS JUST HAVE FUN IF YOU DO IT

i think stede's adorable little milf glasses

(figure 1. stede's adorable little milf glasses)

are not merely reading glasses, but full-blown prescription-grade lenses that he steadily refuses to wear because he had a hard enough time as a (gay) (autistic) child and didn't need the added mockery of needing a device to see in the 18th century, when glasses were not common devices yet

considering how this man deemed it necessary to have an entire LIBRARY on board, his penchant for escapism, and, again his history of being bullied, i think its reasonable to assume that stede has spent most of his life reading. that a lot of that reading, too, occurred by candlelight, and that this has rapidly deteriorated his vision

rather than wear glasses, though, even as an adult, he simply goes through the world with blurry vision, only bringing out his glasses for rare occasions. he doesn't even READ with them on, even though it would greatly help him. he has a mental block about using them, and they often collect dust in a drawer

#ofmd #i myself am a man with HORRIBLE vision that does not wear my glasses #i only utilize them when i go outside - because they are transition lenses #and of course when i was still in school and had to read a whiteboard or powerpoint from afar #but even as i type these tags - my astigmatism is presenting me with a blur #i spend a lot of time squinting. opening and closing my individual eyes #adjusting my brightness #doing everything BUT grabbing my glasses #and while i WAS bullied for being a gay autistic youth - my glasses never factored in #my reasons for not wearing them are purely forgetfulness and neuroticism #''but i don't NEED to see indoors'' i reason #stede however is a fucking pirate captain. put those milfspecs on #you need to see ships! you need to see during fights! identify loot! #also they are adorable #my glasses do not have that same charm #nor could i pull off the round spectacle thing

natural wavy hair vs rich kid perm

#dandy's doodles #inanimate insanity #ii #ii clover #ii nickel #ii humie #ii gjinka #ii humanized #my most recent nickel gjinka didn't properly convey the rich jewish private school jerk i was trying to convey... #so i ditched the glasses and gave him a perm and 'fancy' sneakers #every rich boy in middle school had this exact haircut. it drove me nuts #don't know why i didn't give it to him from the get-go #and clover's the same as always. i don't even have a stock outfit for her #i just throw on something that she would wear! it's funny #i hope you like them :)

have you found your lens cleaner wipe thing

Nope! It's still gone and nowhere to be found, unfortunately

#anon #asks #i even asked my sibling about it #and they have no idea where it is either #they assumed the fuckin. people upstairs snuck down and stole it #but like #why though??? #a lens cleaner wipe is the most pointless thing you could steal #it's not really worth anything #and it being gone hasn't inconvenienced me #the people in question don't wear glasses either #so they wouldn't even be using it for its intended purpose

Genuinely a little bothered that they're not all wearing helmets at bat in Take Me Out to the Holosuite

Quark broke his skull earlier, so maybe slap a helmet on Worf and the Ferengi idk

#ik there are real life constraints i don't care #odo has a pitcher's mask and conceivably he can just turn to goo if the ball hits him #Kira also has a helmet on base so #holosuite safeties or whatever but this is quark's who knows how online those things are #smh wear a helmet kids #you do not want a head injury it'll ruin your life #I got beamed in the head with a softball in 7th grade hard enough to break my glasses #not even one of my two major head injuries #camera trickery they didn't actually pitch to them BUT IT'S THE PRINCIPLE

nothing like the dread when a section of the notes is titled "english deep dive"

#no i think i'm okay with not understanding this language actually #we don't have to look into the lovecraftian horror which is english syntax. i'm okay #sb and l rambles #essbie does college #i'm wearing heart-shaped pink glasses in an attempt to get myself to focus on studying and it is only sort of working #in case you wanted to know how my evening is going

As someone who has a very 'laissez-faire' style when it comes to clothing, there is something so special about a yandere dressing you up, molding your appearance so that there is no doubt you're the perfect fit. I barely throw my outfits together, even when I go out for the night, how exciting would it be to have it all match? From the underwear to jewelry, daywear to sleepwear- if they care enough, you’ll have a special outfit for every single outing they could take you to (if you aren’t stuck in the basement until further notice, that is). Doesn't matter if they're more on the stylish side like Mirko and Hawks or prim and proper like Nighteye or Overhaul. Especially with someone who has the means to splurge on you and will do so with glee. Sure, some hold it over your head that you need a new coat - but some will find nothing but utter delight in treating you like their little dress-up doll. After all, there is the matter of you trying on every single garment and them being able to either ogle you shamelessly- or downright grope you, obviously finding faults with how the fabric fits around your shoulders, ass, legs.

One might just enjoy seeing you squirm around while you’re ordered to twirl and twist, another genuinely gushes over how good you look. One takes pride in having everything match with them, the other might try to veer your style into something entirely unexpected, might try to turn you into their perfect fantasy. And then you have the ones who either don’t care for getting you clothes or simply can’t afford a huge wardrobe. For them, keeping you naked or minimally clothed is an option as well, one that might be just perfect.

#omg please tell me what your fave yan would do/what type they are!! i really wanna hear it #yandere bnha #tw.yandere #tw.kidnapping #at least a mention #sooooo... can we talk about all might would dress you to the nines? man's SO the type to do that. also sir gets you everything to match #*how #you'd be the kinda creepy couple... if anyone gets to see you that is haha. but seriously. if you wear glasses he 100% gets you a yellow #pair as well lmao. at least yellow accents. you have to match MATCH #and dabi. doesn't care. gets you new underwear if you beg right. but other than that. the clothes you got on you or his shirts. and if those #don't fit. he miiiight just buy you a couple that do. but you better be more than grateful hehe. makes a big deal out of it for sure #mirko though. loves to dress you. matching - but in themes and outfits not in the twinning sense #i don't peg her as a kidnapping yan so i think she'd show you off on her insta #she'd absolutely burn your old wardrobe and redress you from the ground up. even the socks you wear will be fcking gucci #you're gonna look so expensive and cute together... too bad your girlfriend is a manipulative lovesick celebrity #who isn't afraid to hurt you sometimes.... whoop #licherally you know what i do when i go out? throw on a braless top and some platforms some hoops and a cute purse #sir would be so.... disappointed 😂

In case it was ever a question

#💟 #Doodles #Lol #Yes I do in fact still think about Vargas every single day #I'd tell you when that changes but that would still be a Vargas thought wouldn't it lol ♪ So for now situation normal! Nothing to report! #Haha ♫ #It's not always to this level or even this consistent but it does average multiple times a day and especially around sleep #The dreams have mostly completely tapered off but they're a common comfort/come-down from the day :) Reliable thought pattern #And even tho I'm not posting them for the most part outside of sketchdumps/the occasional video/fanfic/etc. etc. #I can tell you they still grab every sixth or so scratch page lol - and that's not counting their hefty backlog! #Plus I don't always doodle my ideas a lot of them go into my notes #Honestly considering a part two of an incorrect quotes post quite a few have built up and even I've forgotten some of them haha #They're silly ♪ #Oh yeah and you'll notice a near-matching uptick in WOY (Wander Over Yonder) :3c Haha wonder what that's about hahaha #And SCII to a similar degree but I don't have anything cheeky to say about that (right now) lol #Also completely off Vargas-topic I think it's really funny how often I forget my bracelet #Obviously didn't here! Got all 'em colours - which is honestly probably /why/ I forget that's a lot of tools for one small detail #But like - I never forget my glasses they are very much ''part of my body'' but I quite often forget my bracelet even tho I wear it way more #I take off my glasses to sleep and shower and the like but my bracelet follows me everywhere! How is it not part of my body just as much! #I guess I have been wearing glasses for longer overall but sequentially! Y'know! Haha

[z0uz]

thinking about the fact that since i don't know how to sew and create accessories, the only cosplays i've ever worn were created with everyday clothes: if it isn't already in my closet or my partner's closet, i'll only buy things i know we're going to wear in our everyday lives. you can't cosplay a lot of characters like that but it can work!

#my crowley cosplay was a bit of 'things i already have but don't wear anymore' a bit of 'this belongs to my partner and thank god it fits' #a bit of 'i need to buy this for the cosplay but i like it so much i'm going to wear it on a daily basis' #the glasses! from what i've researched they're bikers' glasses (the eyeshades (??) on the side are there to protect you eyes from the wind) #so even if i won't wear them my partner will probably use them when riding his bike #it's kind of like a disneybound??

[idon-twannabeperceived]

You know what? I love my body actually. Fuck everyone that ever made me believe that the best i could ever get to was maybe tolerate it.

#love my hair despite being bullied for it and being told to straighten it countless times #i love my scars despite being told that i should be ashamed of them they tell my story even when i can't #i love my body hair despite being told that it was shameful too since the very moment i started growing it (fuck that bitch in particular) #i love my thighs and my tummy and i love my weight now that i allow myself to eat until I'm full #i love my nose nd i think my nose bump is actually it's best feature #i love my smile even if it's a little crooked bc that's what makes it unique #and i love my flat chest bc turns out I have that transmasc swag HELL YEAH Jandjdns #some bitches wasted their time trying to make me feel bad about that one bc it is a blessing for me #'you don't have any boobs' 🥹🥹🥹 promise? #and it's not technically my body but i've been wearing them 24/7 since i was 2 yo so i feel like i get a pass for this one anyways → #i fucking love my glasses they are nice and they make me look nerdy which is GOOD bc I AM a nerd #and I'm studying nerd shit and the nerd building with a bunch of other nerds #curly hair and glasses are hot af actually... change my mind

[burr-ell]

Honestly, imodna would be a good ship if the shippers/stans weren’t so damn insufferable. I also hate how they act like they are already canon and you can’t ship Imogen or Laudna with anyone else in the group. People got so mad when the conversation in the dust storm happened with Ashton and Laudna because people thought they were flirting. Or when on the first episode of 4 sided dive Marisha asked Robbie if Dorian’s crush was on Imogen, people got so mad at that! I also hate that they call them lesbians when THEY HAVE BOTH EXPRESSED HAVING FEELINGS FOR BOYS! Why can’t they be bi? Or Pan? I also hate how people read into Laura’s micro expressions/ movements, like last episode with the whole leaning shit “oh what was that lean Laura?!! Imogen wanted to kiss Laudna because look at Laura’s lean!” I dread the day that Imogen or Laudna fall in love with someone that’s not each other(especially if that person is a man.) because Marisha and Laura will harassed and hated because they didn’t give the people what they wanted.

oof. that's some frustration you really needed to vent, nonnie, and honestly i get it. full disclosure—my mutuals who are into imo/dna are all lovely, and none of them engage in this behavior. if imo/dna becomes canon, i'll be happy for (and potentially even happy with) fans like that. but enough shippers are doing things like this that it's becoming more and more of a source of frustration and friction as the campaign goes on.

i think a lot of fandom—in general, not just cr—still doesn't want to acknowledge that at the end of the day, they are looking at things like shippers, with a particular kind of confirmation bias. it doesn't make them necessarily wrong or right, but as easy as it can be to get swept up in it, i think it's important to take a step back every once in awhile and re-evaluate.

now admittedly, generally speaking, it takes a lot for me to get really invested in a ship; i usually only have one or two per fandom, even fandoms with tons of characters. i'm generally pretty passive about most ships if it's not the otp; like, vax/leth and pike/lan, for example, didn't need to be romantic endgame for me to enjoy CR1 (and honestly might have been more interesting to me if they hadn't), but perc/ahlia absolutely made the show for me and i honestly think them being together actively strengthens the narrative as a whole.

i say all that to say that for the most part, i very much consider myself to be along for the ride with respect to most relationships in most fandoms. if such-and-such pairing happens, great; if they don't, okay. and with CR in particular, it's such a long-form medium that i know going in that any romance is going to take a while, and most of them probably won't just reach out and grab me.

and as such, it absolutely baffles me to have seen shippers insisting, from the moment the characters first appeared in episode 1, that not only are imogen and laudna canon endgame, they're basically already together and just haven't admitted it yet. i feel this way about dor/ym and callow/moore as well—i saw a post making the rounds that claimed that all three of those ships are "not canon YET but let's be real" and like...why would you set yourself up for disappointment like that? because yeah! all three of those ships could be endgame! but they could also not be endgame. we're less than 40 episodes into a campaign that'll probably run well into the 100s.

i also fully agree with you re: the microexpressions and the cherrypicking, and i feel like a microcosm of this issue can be found in a conversation imogen has with orym early on—shippers latched onto the fact that imogen compares laudna's thoughts to music, something that finally brought her peace after the chaos of the world around her, and completely ignored the part immediately after where imogen says that the rest of the party also feels like that to her. i didn't even know that imogen said that about the whole party until i watched the episode, and to me it's an example of how shippers tend to warp canon interactions to suit a particular narrative in such a way that they become almost entirely divorced from their context.

and from the outside looking in, what confuses me about this sort of thing is like...didn't y'all already go through this? because if my understanding is correct, c2 ship discourse was full to the brim with beau/jes and wido/jest fans dissecting "laura's microexpressions" to prove that jester was for sure in love with our fave, really you guys we swear...and then not only was that not true, but jester also didn't even know about beau or caleb's feelings to acknowledge them at all, and from the actual words that came out of laura's mouth in various OOC moments like on TM, laura just...really really wanted to romance her husband's character in her dnd game and like, that's it. there was never going to be another romantic option for jester as long as fjord was on the table, and that was something that shippers always should have been taking into account.

laudna and imogen are canonically deeply important to each other. they love and appreciate each other very much. that love and appreciation could turn into a lovely romance with a great dynamic, and i certainly don't blame people for being invested in it. but it also could not be romantic endgame, and they remain friends or even get with other people. and as you said, fandom can and will turn nasty about their ships being sunk; we've already seen it happen. there's a certain smug, entitled undercurrent from that particular corner that i have very little patience with, and while i think there's something to be said for deciding to enjoy things in spite of the fandom and just be a cranky old curmudgeon shooing the wank out with a broom, i also understand the response of just "...aight, imma head out".

#the 'laura's microexpressions' thing is also why i really don't care for glasses!imogen #it's obviously not a bad thing in a vacuum but there's a tendency toward overriding specifically laura's choices and saying 'i know better' #such that even something as innocuous as glasses can be representative of a larger more frustrating problem #honestly i wonder if laura will even DO a romance this time around after two campaigns of her characters being reduced to: #a) the men in her life and then b) who she'll end up with #bc imogen has some strong vibes of like. arent u tired of being nice? don't u just wanna lose it? #like imogen reminds me very strongly of vex but specifically of the ways in which vex couldn't be unpleasant or unappealing #(mostly because vex puts up fronts to mask her flaws specifically from the party) #(while imogen is more trying to hide her actual powers and what they can do) #and i think some of that naturally comes from being a woman in geek culture on the internet as well as a woman in voice acting #but i feel like it might also come from her characters being constantly put under a microscope #and constantly told what they should and shouldn't do #and the second they make choices that make another better-liked character upset they're terrible people #like she's obviously a grown adult 40 year old woman but the constant scrutiny of your dnd choices has gotta wear on you a little bit #and yeah i didn't touch on this in the ask but. it has been 0 days since fandom did a bi-erasure #(the thing about having only 1 or 2 ships per fandom reminded me that out of all the dc comics ships i literally only care about dickkory) #(clois also has rights on account of dc can snort my taint and let two adults be happily married) #(i've had convos with friends who ship bbrae who are like 'but why would dickkory shippers dislike bbrae? they dont threaten you') #(idk man some of em just don't dig the vibe!) #cr discourse #cr wank #critical role #asks

#emily speaks #body image // #i hate when people thinner than me complain about their weight in front of me #like ofc they're allowed to have insecurities about their body and want to lose weight for whatever reason #but saying 'haha im too chubby i need to lose all this fat' when im there in front of you clearly 100+ pounds heavier..... stfu #you can lose weight for you if you want but don't go around talking about how ugly your fatness is to other ppl who are fatter than you #like what are you saying about me then if you think fatness is ugly and i'm way heavier than you #dont say shit like that in a casual conversation how about that. like think before you speak #like if you got glasses would you say 'haha i hate glasses theyre so ugly but i have to wear them now :/' to someone wearing glasses?? #im probably doing the best now than i ever have been in terms of positive body image for myself #but people say this shit too often like u are begging me to hate my body :/ #its not intentional i know. but that's almost worse. they truly equate being fat with ugly they dont even think about it #but its ok bc im fat and hot so sucks for them 2 be wrong ig

If I like them and they lessen the sunlight even slightly. I will wear them on top of my normal ones. #yes on top of. #who's going to stop me? no one. I do not care lmao #still wish I could have gotten nicer ones... #all I could find anywhere were the same rimless ones or heart shapes #I don't want hearts I want STARS #or literally anything else honestly #I don't like the hearts for me personally :( #ANYWAY #ENOUGH STALLING ME FUCK OFF AND DO THE THING YOU'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF FOR LIKE TWO HOURS
