Smiling Gimli cuz we all need that sometimes

#hes probably getting ready for bed or something like that #i really dont know whats going on just that hes simply like very very simply dressed with the most simple wooden cup ever #maybe its his undershirt so its a hot day or hes still busy getting dressed #?? #but hes happy #maybe hes talking with legolas and this is happening either way to late in the evening or in the morning probably in rohan #no the silver streaks in his hair doesnt mean hes old #i like to think all the dwarfs have silver steaks in their hair even the children #maybe its even something they look for in a partner #like if a dwarf has a lot of silver streaks it makes them attractive for other dwarfs #that would lead back to old dwarfs being extremely respected in their culture as old age brings grey or white hair with it #and they lived long so they must know a lot and therefore are who people goes to for good advise #gimli son of gloin #gimli #tolkien #lotr #the lord of the rings #lord of the rings #jrr tolkien #lotr art #my art #digital art #they where made from stone basically of course im gonna draw him with stone looking skin what you gonna do bout it #!? #yet again writing a novel in my tags...

After much dithering. I finally figured out Grey's new, very not snowy weather appropriate, Life Day party dress:

And as stills do not do the absolute sparkliness justice, some motion:

#i might remove the bracers because of the clipping... but... shinnnnyyyy #life day can begin now #(except not for me) #(maybe on the 25th lol) #(me spending all my time playing space barbie) #i have three outfit tab with variations including that top lol #as i just kept trying things #before i said 'eff it' and made a version with a silver dress bottom #i might even break tradition theron's red and green jacket #and give him a special shiny jacket for the season too #(don't worry glor) #(she still has her ugly christmas sweater outfit saved in its own tab) #(it is eternal the twins can still parent trap the party if you decide to come) #grey's silly swtor tag

7. dancing with their hands holding onto each other [Indira/Vector]

Parties like this were dreadfully boring, salvaged only from complete indignity by the company she was allowed to keep.

"Agent, you don't look like you're enjoying yourself," Vector commented as he joined her, the words a gentle tease and warning to watch her expression all in one. He let his hand rest on her hip, close enough it would look like a lovers' tryst rather than anything else. In a way, perhaps, it was.

"This is not my... preferred environment," Indira said, taking a sip of her drink. "Though it does appear to be yours," she added dryly, studying his posture, his expression. The life dancing in his black eyes.

"We are a diplomat," he said with a small shrug. "Events like this are how we meet people, learn of their cultures, forge connections." He glanced at her. "We have met many fascinating individuals, from equally fascinating worlds, and events of this kind are a less formal occasion to mingle."

She canted her head in concession of that point. The atmosphere was indeed more conducive to casual conversation than she imagined, say, a treaty negotiation would be. It was still a more... lax surrounding than she was comfortable in. "I can tell what all of them want just from looking." Indira took another sip of her drink and set the crystalline flute on a small table. "There's no challenge to reading them."

A smile played at Vector's lips. "If no challenge, perhaps a diversion is better?" He slid his hand from her waist and offered it to her instead. "Would you do us the honor of a dance?"

Indira couldn't resist the answering smile that curved across her face. "But of course, Master Hyllus," she said, spine straightening as she rested her hand in his. "I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that you know how to dance."

"We are, perhaps, a bit rusty," Vector allowed as they headed for the dance floor. "Killik celebrations do not include many of the... aspects found in Imperial gatherings. But we will do our best."

"Which I'm sure will be just fine," Indira said, squeezing his hand as they slipped in with the other couples already dancing, her other hand on his shoulder and his on the curve of her hip. A light breeze wafted through and she gave a slight shiver as it made the loose ends of her hair tickle her bare back.

Vector nodded a greeting to one of the other couples and a smile tugged her lips again. He was so at ease here. Despite the looks his appearance--and company--drew, he was unruffled. It was a good look for him.

"What would you say is your favorite thing about parties like this?" she asked, mentally biting her lip in concentration on the dance steps. "Since you so clearly enjoy them."

"The people," Vector answered without hesitation.

"You enjoy forging connection."

"Yes." He tilted his head, studying her. For his claim of being rusty, he seemed to have no trouble remembering the steps, even with his attention divided. "It is part of what makes the Nest feel like home. We are connected in a way beyond anything we dreamed of as a diplomat."

"But you lost some as well," Indira said, recalling the message from his almost-fiancée, the people from his previous life who disapproved of his... change.

"And gained new ones that more than compensate," he said smoothly, drawing their joined hands in to kiss the heel of hers.

Indira arched a brow, but the comm in her ear crackled before she could return the flirtation.

"You have your opening, agent."

Vector had picked up the minute tensing of her posture, even as they continued to dance. "To work?"

She gave a single nod. "I wish it had better timing, but duty does call."

He nodded in return. "We will do our part and meet you on the ship, agent." His grip lingered when she started to step away. "Indira? Be careful."

She smile and kissed his cheek. "Of course."

Subtly as they could, they disengaged from the dance and set about their true tasks for the night.

---

True to his word, Vector was waiting on the ship. Still in his dark blue formalwear, though the collar was loosened, the gloves discarded.

He smiled when he saw her. "Safe and sound."

Indira smiled in return, running her fingers through the loosened portion of her hair. "I do pride myself on being good at my job." She quirked a brow when he offered her his hand. "What are you doing?"

"The others will not be back for some time. We thought we could finish our dance."

"It does seem only fair," she said lightly. She stepped out of her shoes, grey skirt swirling around her ankles as she nudged them aside. "This will be more comfortable."

"We will try not to step on your toes," Vector murmured, drawing her close enough to rest both hands at the small of her back, teasing the deep diamond cutout of the dress.

Indira's smile widened and she clasped her hands behind his neck in response. "I trust you," she whispered, and enjoyed the warmth that flickered in the comforting depths of his black eyes. She only realized as they swayed to non-existent music how much she meant it.

As parties went, just the two of them was much more to her liking.

i really hope the tuxedo doesnt win the julian bashir fashion bracket 😂 it is so mid. just such an unremarkable generic look

#theres already been outfits it's beat that it shouldve lost to #the grey jacket and tie from that ep is a better outfit even #it IS better than the late series dress uniform tho. that just sucks

[perioddramapolls]

Sorry I accidentally posted an orange poll, everyone delete it from your minds 🧡🧡🧡🧡

#so embarassing because I didn't even finish editing the grey dresses bracket or linking stuff #and now you guys could see I wasn't even trying and I went for the funny part -checking submissions and looking for gifsets- #anyways there's still a lot of time for the orange comp to start and the submissions form is open since three days ago 🧡 #not a poll

i do think that since theyre 01 babies theres virtually no way there wasn't at LEAST one halloween when they were kids that archie betty and jughead did fionna and cake. it's too easy they had to have done it at least once. pls rotate this in ur head for me bc ive been rotating it.... makes me smile :)

#literally thank u rvd chars for being the same age as me so its SO easy for me to think abt things i grew up on that u would also have. #thank u f&c finale today for making me feel like the joker also ^_^ #anyway. cant u see it... spray dyeing archies hair a shitty pink. fly high to caramel the cat who coulda been cake. alas! #jughead barely even dressed up and wearing a flannel he wears daily anyway. but thats ok #unless they painted him grey. surely as someone who MUST have also been a homestuck OBVIOUSLY jughead would know grey paint too well. hmm! #much to think about! anyhow #perfect group costume for them as kids. legiterally. u must agree with me u must #riverdale

hi incredibly sketchy doodle page, sketchiest yet, under the cut bc one of them is tristan and i have no idea how else to accurately convey a visual

#i think that tristan is probably a fair bit older than in dao although he already has a couple of v early grey hairs in dao #because of the turmoils and horrors. even though hes like. 23 #the scar is not from the howes i think its fun to give characters dramatic scars that arent from their tragic backstories #he just tried way too hard in training as a kid bc he wanted to be just like his mother and Mistakes Were Made #uhh what else needs explaining. can you guys read my handwriting #im not typing all that out #anyway the dress sketch is a concept for the warden-themed armoured gown i want for minerva at alistair and anoras weddingcoronation #needs some work must be sexier #thats minerva on the bottom left w her warden-commander stave heros vigilance my brother in arms my babygirl #uh and thats anders and keir bc i am woebegone without my lads rn #anything else... #OH LOOKING AT THE MINERVA/TRISTAN HEIGHT DIFFERENCE ONE YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND MINERVA IS TALLER THAN ZEV #DO YOU UNDERSTAND AND PERCEIVE okay good

Tbh I think it's better that they didn't confirm if Lili bought Asuka her T8 clothes because the way Asuka dressed in 8 then implies she CHOSE to resemble/match elements of Lili and a Western European style either on purpose or subconsciously, aside from the bird and biker motif design and silhouette, that would reinforce the way she sees Lili now

#i loved the majority of the costumes in 8 they tell so much about everyone #Reina is the only one i consider flat out boring but even then it makes sense bc she doesn't want to give herself away #tekken #Lili is also in the gloves on Asuka's new gi- she's ripped the design from Lili's grey corset street outfit gloves she likes ms white girl #not just the final version of Lili's street fit gloves but also the concept art for Lili has extremely similar handwraps #which they now gave to Asuka #I'm reading I'm listening #do we remember when Lili was depicted as punk alongside the lolita dresses bc i remember- that meant something i think #something something dual nature just like her man perhaps something something foil studies

“La Cigale”

Christian Dior

Fall/Winter 1952/1953

Harper's Bazaar (September 1952) described "La Cigale" as built in "gray moiré, so heavy it looks like a pliant metal," while Vogue (September 1, 1952) called it "a masterpiece of construction and execution." In 1952, what has been called the Dior slouch was placed inside a severe International Style edifice. The devices customarily used to soften surface and silhouette in Dior are eschewed, and the dress becomes the housing of the fashionable posture now required by its apparent weight: the skirt is cantilevered at the hipbone—hip forward, stomach in, shoulders down, and the back long and rounded. Dior employed shaped pattern pieces to mold the bodice to the body and likewise to allow for the dilation at the hips.

American periodicals continued to promote Parisian couture lines after World War II, but they also included American design images and the ready-to-wear lines of Paris in order to make their publications relevant to a wide economic range of American women. "La Cigale" has the underpinnings of couture, but with its standard moiré, long, fitted sleeve, and smooth bodice and skirt cut, a facade of this cocktail piece could easily be adapted for the department store. American designers like Anne Fogarty and Ceil Chapman emulated the "New Look" line for cocktail wear, but used less luxurious fabrics and trims. Dior, along with French contemporary Jacques Fath and milliners Lilly Daché and John Fredericks, quickly saw the advantages of promoting cocktail clothing in the American ready-to-wear market, designing specifically for their more inexpensive lines: Dior New York, Jacques Fath for Joseph Halpert, Dachettes, and John Fredericks Charmers.

the arakawa family is really funny honestly cause the obvious joke here is that masato’s like. The Prince Of Darkness in family outings but then you realize sawashiro and masumi Also have dark-as-fuck outfits so then there’s ichi’s bright-ass fucking suit bouncing around like a puppy who’s the actual black sheep of the family for how lively he is

#snap chats #its a family of goths And Then Theres Ichi #actually like if the adams family let a prep live with them #might draw this.. not tonight tho.... probably... #but anyway no thats so funny like hell even jo is probably the more dressed-down of the two #between masumi and masato anyway like masumi has his big fuck-off trenchcoat and fedora #and then masato with the pinstripe suit and designer dress shirt with his bangs tugged out to frame his face all dramatic as shit #and then jo's just. he got a grey suit and purple dress shirt. red tie with chestnut shoes and his hair's kept back #LIKE HE LOOKS RELATIVELY NORMAL NEXT TO THESE TWO ITS KINDA FUNNY

one of my favourite little costume things is that lupe literally only owns one dress (the plain pink one) 

#like greta and carson and everyone else has a new floral number every couple of scenes #but lupe literally only has that one dress and whenever she needs to wear a dress she pulls it out kdjhgfkj #like even in the radio interview deleted scene #lupe garcia #aloto #a league of their own #nevermind i lied accidentally she has a grey one when they go to the convent #but still !!!

today I put on a different mask and it felt better than the usual

#meaning: today i melted into my outfit and decided to change my personality in small ways to fit how i dressed myself #im wearing something very . hm. well it's black and plaid and stripes and it's way more cohesive than it sounds #a broad shouldered oversized black button up with grey plaid slim fit slacks #black platform boots and a black tie w white and grey stripes #one silver hoop earring a bunch of black and silver rings and slicked back hair #this all matters Because depending on what im wearing my mood changes a little. so do my mannerisms. for the better or the worse #i assume this is pretty normal (otherwise why do ppl dress up to feel fancy or dress down when they already feel sluggish..?) #but anyway i was less of a people pleaser today! #LOL #i drew a line. i told someone no nicely but clearly. #i asked someone else to hang out next week and i didn't act unsure of myself even if i felt that way inside #i spoke up in class as usual but without adding my infamous “.... if that makes any sense?” at the end #i made a mistake and got corrected and i accepted it cooly with a grin and a nod #i felt scared the whole time but to concluded: i quite like this version of the mask #sure it's not all true to how i feel #but it actually helps instead of feeling fake and exhausting #the mask that i wear to make people like me is also untrue but it hurts me way more #this sounds corny ugh WHATEVER. #the one thing i didn't like however was that. i noticed that i kept a straight face most of the morning so far and it kinda made my mood #worsen? #like not allowing myself to loom surprised when i feel surprised or look worried when i am or smile when i see something silly? that #feels bad #i dont like being so guarded #but i also hate when my facial expressions are obvious. like yesterday #i cant seem to find a middle ground because they both make me feel uncomfortable in different ways #z.post
