Louise Page (main costume designer for all of David Tennant's original Doctor Who run) really fucking popped OFF with Donna's designs. Putting her in a pinstripe suit to visually mirror The Doctor in Partners in Crime. Putting her in a long brown jacket to visually mirror The Doctor in Journey's End. Making her primary outfit color purple both because it's cute and because it ties in with both her name being Noble and becoming a time Lord. The fucking ADORABLE Planet of the Ood jacket. Her lil flapper dress. Giving her sneakers with almost every fit regardless of how formal it is. Her hoop earrings that she's wearing TO THIS DAY. God everyone say thank you Louise Page!!

i have to say, i have had EXTENSIVE conversations with my friend about genderbend aus. specifically how people never do they actual character justice and just make them Pretty Girls Who Are Pretty. but you. you understand. i love you girl soukoku designs so much, they fit their actual personalities so well AND they are pretty girls.
idk i have seen a lot of girl skk designs that have REALLY put me off because they feel like. gratuitous sex appeal, and that seems really really wrong. Daz and Chuu are already purposely designed to be /androgynous/ as males, it'd be nice to have that work in the reverse too wouldn't it? That's not even accounting for genderbends that aren't strictly following the male-female binaries. It would be nice to not have to push gendered stereotypes into designs where they're entirely unnecessary right?

was there a particular popular artist that gave sasha a hair bow and people have been subconsciously following after them ever since or did we all just listen to mag 26 a distortion and say "hehe bow." it's a more specific but low key look than other types of fanon fashion choices (jon's sweater vests, martin's jumpers, tim's hawiian shirts, melanie's alt style, elias's eye jewellery) and one that I've seen go completely unremarked upon. I like it, I'm just wondering where that came from.

I don't know if this has been asked and answered but with your love of Top Gun and airplanes, would you ever consider getting your pilot's license?
it is my retirement plan 🤞🏽 god willing i make enough money to learn how to fly someday
im currently a broke student with no access to any accessible airstrip within like 20 miles (i live in nyc & don’t have a car) and also every time i mention getting my pilot’s license to my mom she has a conniption about safety “what happens if my baby falls out of the sky” etc. so i have to wait for her to die first
but yes I would love love love to have that opportunity at some point. If only to make my writing about flight more accurate (obviously if you know anything about flying my fics are the most inaccurate things in the whole world & i apologize for that). Im a big proponent of “doing stuff just to know how to write about it” which is the only reason, for instance, I have ever smoked a cigarette (not that my writing about that is particularly accurate either but)

Today we ask the gang: How do you like to read?
GROOVY I love digging through vintage magazines! My uncle has an amazing collection of old MAD Magazines that I'm still working through!
GIRLY Weather it's an ebook I checked out from my local library or the latest webtoons episode, I love to read on the go with my tablet!
GOTH NERD I'm an old fashioned book reader! I love holding the physical book in my hands!
SPORTY I find I have a hard time sitting still just to focus purely on reading. That's why I like audio books so much; it lets me multitask!
Thanks to Groovy Gal and her friends for sharing their answers! Now how about you: How do you like to read? What are your favorite books? Do you have any questions you'd like to see the gang answer? Let me know!

this looks like a lot of information but hopefully it's not TOO much- modern satyr/human fashion standards :)
basically post-cataclysm satyrs and humans live mostly side-by-side, even more so than other humanoids, and as such their fashion metrics have meshed together into a near-inseperable single unit. I used a human model because fuck them creature legs, but all of this goes for satyrs as well.
- wrapped tops have satyr origins, it's easier on the layer of fur they have around the neck and shoulders
- likewise buttons and ties/laces are of human origin
- both now use both
- satyrs have since adopted a pretty widespread idea that you should cover your bottom half in public, even though theyve got the creature legs and so it's less a deal. its generally looked down upon, though, unless in familiar company
- if wearing a two-layer outfit, the underlayer is wrapped opposite the outerlayer. so if your underclothes fold right, your outerclothes fold left. to fold them the same way is slut behavior.
- there are slight differences in men's and women's clothes: men tie at the waist, women at just below the chest. men's hems are below the knee, women's are at it (with some margin). men's coats hang at the hip and have shorter sleeves (half to 3/4 length), women's hang mid-thigh and are full-length.
- layered skirts are women's clothes, the number of layers varies with formality and with age (more layers = more respectable) (older also usually equals more respectable)
- accessory cloth is a holdover from pre-cataclysm satyrs in which a family crest or city-state emblem is worn to dictate fealty and display homeland. some may still use it as smaller-scale loyalty or to advertise their trade, to others it is purely decorative.
- wide sleeves are traditionally human, and have since been both adopted by satyrs and modified into false sleeves or more satyr-like, thinner sleeves.
- leather belts and corset-ish structures are more common in southern reaches, but fabric ties and sashes are also around
