I keep thinking everyone knows the exact same information as me, but since I'm about to make more posts about textiles and clothing, as I'm reading the book on them, I'm going to write down some basic information, just in case it's not very common, because a lot of this I only gathered recently. If I get something wrong please correct me in a kind way!
So where does the clothing come from, and how do we make it? During most of the history, textiles were made by women, from natural materials; flax, wool, cotton, silk, jute. Recently we started using more synthetic materials, like acrylic, polyester, nylon, spandex. If you want to make clothing from the natural materials, like wool or cotton, they first need to be processed, cleaned and combed, then spun into yarn, or thread. Spinning is the process where women manage to pull a thin part of the material and spin the fibres into one consistent, firm thread. It's super impressive to watch them do it and I have no idea how they manage to make it consistent, I've not yet tried to do it myself.
Once the thread is done, it can be made into a textile by knitting, crochet, or weaving. There are also other more complex, decorative methods, like tatting or lacing.
For knitting, you need two needles, or a special circular needle, or, there are also knitting machines, which you can use to make woolen fabric. For weaving, you need a loom. For crochet, you need a crochet hook. While knitting and weaving can be done by a machine, crochet can only be done by hand. Woven fabrics are firm, sturdy, durable, and not stretchy, while knit fabric is the most stretchy and soft. I'm not sure about crochet since I only have one crochet garment, but mine is very sturdy!
All of these methods were historically done by women; families were able to grow flax plants close to their homes, and women would then create linens, woven textiles made from processed flax, which was used to make sheets and clothing. Linen was specifically useful in keeping people clean, since it's very good at absorbing moisture. Used as an under-garment, it was capable of absorbing sweat, and protecting the outer layers, which were not washed. Experiments have shown that frequently changing into clean linen was more effective at keeping clean than showering and then putting on the same clothing back on.
Women's ability to create clothing was sadly exploited, and women were even banned to sell it commercially, or from competing at the commercial market, but their husbands were allowed to profit off of their craft.
In the USA, cotton was the most produced material, however for this too people were enslaved and exploited; cotton took human labour to grow, harvest and process, it also required a lot of water, and caused destruction of environment, because of the chemicals used in it's growth, and the unsustainability of monocrops.
Creating a piece of clothing out of textiles, or sewing, is a process that still cannot be completely automated; while you can use a sewing machine, you cannot make a machine that would produce a whole garment out of textiles. No mass-produced piece of clothing was sewn by a machine, it always has to be made by a human being. This is why a lot of the sewing labour is currently outsourced to third-world countries and companies use modern slavery in order to create fast fashion; there is no machine that can do it, so by the rules of capitalism, the companies are trying to get that labour as cheap as possible, often at the cost of human lives.
We didn't use to have as many garments as we do today, in the 18th century people would have two outfits, one for normal days of the week, and one for Sunday. The clothing they owned was usually made to fit them exactly, either by a female member of the family, or a seamstress, and these garments were made to last them for decades. As clothing became cheaper to buy than to make at home, and more of it became mass-produced, people started acquiring more of it, but also using it for lesser period of time. This would eventually grow into a bigger problem, due to the amount of chemicals and labour used to grow, process, dye and sew the garments, and the amount of waste we were starting to accumulate.
Introduction of synthetic materials, like acrylic, made the yarn and the textiles much cheaper, however it lacks the important properties natural materials have. Do you ever notice how synthetic garments sometimes continue smelling bad even after you wash them? That is because they'll absorb sweat, but become hydrophobic when wet, meaning they will take in your sweat, but refuse to let it go once they're in the water. This means that the longer you have them, the worst their stink becomes. This, of course, can be hidden by the generous use of scented fabric softener, but it won't exactly make the garment clean. This information I've learned recently, but it helped me identify what were the most synthetic pieces of clothing I had. Acrylic clothing had also proven to shed 1.5 more microplastics than any other polyester when put into the washing machine.
Having our clothing grown, processed, spun, woven/knit, and then sewn far out of sight, it's possible to lose the sight of where it came from, or how it's made. Only by trying to do it yourself, or learning closely about the process can one learn to appreciate what a monumental task it is, to create fabric, or a garment. Other than the synthetic textiles, of which I still know very little of, all of the natural clothing is a product of plants and animals, it takes land, farming, agriculture and water to grow the plants, raise the animals, and then labour to process and spin the fibres. It's also something people used to do in their gardens, inside of their homes, something that was normal for women to do, and to trade for anything else they needed, saving them from having to work for wages. Women making fabric was always to the benefit of everyone around them, while m*n taking over the industry and doing it commercially, ultimately brought slave labour to a lot of people, cheap and low quality garments to the select few, and money to the hands of the exploiters.
Being curious about clothing and what becomes of it, is a big benefit to the environment and the future of the earth! Knowing what the textile industry is doing, and how does it affect the planet, can be a great motivator to try and sew, or upcycle and mend clothing, or create garments. It's presented to us as something women were forced to do in the past, and it's connected to 'feminine hobbies', but in actuality, it is power to create something humans cannot do without. Women in the past used it's power too, whenever they could. And we are the only ones who ever used this power for good.

~Late night tron thoughts with Bec~
.
consider....evil!tron au where tron is the villain rather than clu. where clu's big thing was the idea of "perfection", tron's is "security/order"
him turning the grid into a 1984-esque, military/surveillance state, under the idea that "order is safety"
evil!tron as judge, jury, and executioner
remember, he's always watching you~

Does CQM sect knows how long SQH has worked for MBJ? YQY let's SQH come back (presumably because he is that good at his job?) but do they ever interrogate him? Do they have any idea that SQH has been working for MBJ for years? I just find it funny that from their perspective SQH betrayed them but in a way you could argue that SQH was never loyal to the sect. Yes, he was already part of the sect, but he was an outer disciple and while they don't know, SQH already knew he would one day work for MBJ. While he feared for his life he probably had already in his head that he would be loyal to Mobei, so he entered the sect knowing he would spy for him. From the beginning he joined the sect with dishonest notions. But other than SQQ does any other Peak Lord has any idea about this? Because honestly, how fucking scary and impressive that SQH did this 😂
I don't think it's ever stated how long they knew about Shang Qinghua being a traitor (My memory is absolutely horrible, so I could be wrong) However im sure they can pinpoint the time a demon killed a lot of disciples with Shang Qinghua being the only survivor and was missing for some days then they mightve connected the dots to how long he's been a spy for Mobei Jun. I also don't think they interrogate him either, they just kinda let him back in after all the shit that went down
Looking back into the novel, Yue Qingyuan does let him back but there really was no interrogation from what I can find

So YEAH HE REALLY JUST MANAGED TO GET AWAY WITH IT

the way that from under the cork tree and so much (for) stardust carry so many of the same sentiments and motivations, but one is this younger, anger-driven explosion of emotion that is in turn fueled by and paralyzed by its own range and the other is the more mature processing of those emotions and helplessness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in so much (for) stardust, instead of letting anger and helplessness push you to a sort of frozen state where you’re just angry at your own helplessness, there is optimism but also motivation and release that comes in recognizing life is short and possibly meaningless but you still have to live. the anger is still there. the helplessness is still there. it’s just handled and experienced differently now that you are different and have different responsibilities.

Saw a post the other day asking how P03 is able to see; my best guess is something like this.
I actually inspected P03′s 3D model for this which I don’t usually do (and then I proceeded to draw it off-model anyway. Whoops) but even outside of its hypothetical camera-vision, there’s a few other things of note:
P03 seems to have a lot of large vents (or at least things that look like some sort of ventilation/cooling). Two major ones on the chest, three on the top of the head (with potentially another on the side of its head), and one on the underside of its base (though that one might be for the hologram projection it uses to float). My best guess is that it’s because his factory is built right by the water where there would be a TON of moisture in the air. For that reason, some of them have got to be exhausts to make sure all of the air circulating in his torso is dry. That or he just overheats extremely easily I guess, but I’m leaning towards the humidity explanation (or it could be a combination of the two).
Its “eyes” are somewhere on the front of its face; whether it sees through a camera or just through the eyes on the screen via video game magic is up for debate, but it turns to face the player when they stand up so its vision probably isn’t on the sides of its head or something.
Similarly, P03 has some sort of sensitivity to touch (he reacts to Leshy’s hands gripping his monitor before Leshy says anything). I don’t think any “touch sensors” would be externally visible though.
Presumably (based on the ending to Act 3) P03′s head isn’t just a monitor, there’s vital systems in there as well (otherwise tearing its head off wouldn’t do anything to disrupt its upload/its ability to function). My best guess is that his power supply is in his chest so it would be the equivalent of just... unplugging your computer while it’s trying to preform updates.
The wire it uses to connect to the modules to update cards in Act 3 seems to come from either its neck or its torso, but in act 2 it’s very visibly on the side of the head. Granted the act 2 sprites are all pretty different from the Scrybes’ 3D models so that’s not an outlier.
The range of motion in P03′s arm seems pretty similar to a human arm; he has a ball-and-socket joint on the shoulder and a hinge joint on his elbow plus separate segments for the “wrist” and “hand”. The only thing it probably can’t do is twist its forearm.
I don’t have any idea what either of the cranks do. The head crank moves when it changes its expression so it might have something to do with its display, but the arm crank is only shown doing anything on the G0lly Uberbot hologram. My best guess is that P03 used to have a lot more built-in functions but ended up removing them in order to operate faster so a lot of the buttons and switches on it are just vestigial leftovers. (The idea of the arm crank being able to function as a hand-crank motor in a pinch is really funny though. Spin it a few times when P03 is out of power and you can generate just enough battery for it to tell you to fuck off then go back into sleep mode again).
I have no idea how the levitation works either. It’s cool and that’s why it works. No need to get more complicated than that.

FFXIV Naughty Fic Prompts
a collection of my favorite smutty tropes and ideas that I desperately want to see people write
Only One Bed Trope (tm)
Someone accidentally walks in on your OC pleasuring themselves
Your OC accidentally walks in on someone pleasuring themselves
Your Echo-bearing OC has a vision of someone in a private moment
Sparring leads to steamy times
Bandaging wounds/cleaning up after battle
Your OC being watched (alone or with others) during a private moment by Midgardsormr/Feo Ul/Ardbert/Fray (Esteem)/Emet Selch/Crystal Exarch/that fucking shoebill/Hydaelyn, or anyone else who regularly spies on them
A linkpearl call at a very bad time
Discovering/dealing with racial physical differences during intimacy (ears horns tails height differences etc etc etc)
Vacation to the Gold Saucer/Costa Del Sol/one of the many hot springs in the game (Kugane, Camp Bronze Lake, Lakeland)
Combat abilities used sensually/sexually
Post-battle emotional high/"Holy shit we're alive" moment
Pre-huge battle "We might not make it out of this alive" moment
Fun with fantasias
Everyone is attracted to the WoL/everyone wants a piece of the WoL
"I know we shouldn't but I can't help it" sorts of dynamics
Fellow Scion/acquaintance walks in on WoL/OC with their partner - gossip ensues
That damn Ishgardian ball we never got but deserved (ok I guess this isn't really steamy but it can be)
Other character with special sensing abilities (Y'shtola's aether sight, Krile's super sensitive Echo, Hythlodaeus' soul sight etc) knows what the WoL/OC has been up to/knows OC and their partner are a couple before they're out (or uses their ability in the heat of the moment if shipping with them)
Something fueled by armor/glams (and we know there's a lot of sexy outfits in game)
WoL/OC being given comfort after one of their few defeats (Zenos, Ranjit, Final Days etc)
That inn room scene in Endwalker (if you know you know)

Please reblog fic posts!
You know those posts that go around saying how important it is to reblog art?
Same is true for fic.
Even if it's not 100% your cup of cocoa, it may be just what someone else wants. I've found so many great authors and stories from other people reblogging their things!
I know it's a bit more challenging, because you can't always read something right away and you can't totally rec something you haven't read, and then finding the post about it again is a nightmare. But. If it's an author you like, or it's a story concept that looks neat, reblog! Maybe add a "[author] is great!" or "this looks neat!" tag.
It's so helpful, especially for less well known writers and especially in a super prolific fandom like GO where it's literally impossible to read even a fraction of what gets posted.

a pathetic, british, orphaned guy with something fucked up about his eyes, connections to cults, fought god (and won) with only a knife, has faced The Horrors, a lot of scars, neck scar, and is actually caring but radiates asshole energy.
Now who am I talking about,
Jon Sims from The Magnus Archives or Arthur Lester from Malevolent?

HOND post-movie headcanons
Quasimodo confronting Esmeralda about his lingering romantic feelings towards her, and the two coming to an understanding that even though Esmeralda doesn’t have romantic feelings toward Quasi, that doesn’t mean she cares for him any less. 
Also I want Esmeralda to apologize for making Quasi think that “he wasn’t enough” because let’s face it she literally kissed him on the cheek to shut him up about him being too busy to visit Esmeralda. The poor boy knows nothing about social cues what else would he interpret that other than “holy crap she likes me”
Phoebus and Quasi bonding. We love to see bros being bros
Quasimodo experiencing the Feast of Fools in a positive environment. He’s a bit hesitant at first because he’s thinking “oh my god this was the place where i was literally gaslit by a whole town” but turns out the festival goes great and omg i care way too much for a fictional character 
Quasimodo bonding with the archdeacon, and him learning about his mother and what really happened to her. I was surprised when Quasi didn’t have many interactions with the archdeacon. 
Omg archdeacon becoming a father figure for Quasi and feels guilty for not being the one to take him in (imagine him saying “if I was given the choice I would’ve adopted you in a heartbeat” and quasi breaking down into tears because he never felt like Frollo really wanted him as a son.) 
QUASI. EXPERIENCING. NATURE!! Let him frolic through a forest and climbing every single tree he sees and look at bugs! Let him walk along a beach and collect shells and bury his toes in the soft sand and cool water! Let him visit a farm and ride horses and pet sheep! Let Esme and Phoebus take him to an endless field of flowers and have a picnic and watch the sun set and make each other flower crowns!!!
Quasi trying to feel welcome in the Romani community in Paris. He feels like an outsider for a lot of reasons. Even though his mother was Romani, he didn’t have the same upbringing that Esmeralda or Clopin had. In a way, Frollo stripped him of what would make up his cultural identity, and he can’t feel a connection to the traditions of the Romani people, even though he desperately wants to.

Doing some research into Puritan fashions and dress code because I'm making a powerpoint to terrorize my friend with the fact that Belos is Cisn't and I can't believe Philip "I am so deeply religious that I can't let go of it after several centuries and I have also remodeled a whole alternate dimension's religious belief to mimic my religion" Wittebane has never had short hair ever.
Puritans loathed men with long hair. It was the trend at the time but the Puritans saw men with long hair as uncivilized, sinful, etc etc and encouraged closely cropped hair (and I invite you to imagine Belos with a shaved head). Baby Philip's hair, the shortest hair we've seen him with, was just above his shoulders. Which likely went against the rule that men's hair should not reach their collars (and the doublet collars at the time are pretty high). And Philip just kept growing it longer and longer. Even before he stepped into the Boiling Isles, and when he did come to the Boiling Isles he had a significantly long ponytail.
Also worth noting that Caleb had a small ponytail up until we see him in the Boiling Isles. Definitely long enough to brush past the collar.
If Philip had short hair before the Boiling Isles, or if long hair was exclusive to Belos Mode only, it would be understandable. Sorta. Because Belos's whole aesthetic is very Roman Catholic, which the Puritans hated so much that they seperated from the Church of England because it was too much like it. So if Philip needed an evil, heretical society to base his evil, heretical witch society, the Catholic Church was right there. And I'm pretty sure Catholic men went with the long hair trend too.
But most of the sources I find have their hair restrictions get tighter sometime around the mid-to-late 17th century, with the earliest (???) restriction I found being created in 1634 at the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Which means that the "long hair = evil" would be there and present throughout the Wittebanes childhood, and I cannot believe they both had long hair as Puritan children. They would have been shamed in front of their town during mass. They would have been seen as evil children. No wonder Philip latched on so hard to being a witch hunter if it was a way for him to prove he was "good" or "holy" or whatever.
But also, he (or his parents) could have gotten his hair cut at any point to prevent said ostracization because of fashion standards.
Anyways, the Wittebanes are not cis, I just haven't figured out what flavor of cisn't they are.

mutant mayhem headcanons because i am unhinged here we go:
donnie is a late bloomer (an explanation why he’s the only brother that hasn’t had his voice broken yet) and ofc in true brotherly fashion the others absolutely rip into him about it
raph told mikey once as little kids that the reason his head is shaped like a watermelon is becuase splinter dropped him on his head as a baby and mikey cried so hard he threw up
leo and donnie are HUGE anime fans. they LOVE dragon ball z and once splinter found the live action movie dvd in the trash and brought it home as a surprise and leo and donnie had to pretend they liked it so now raph and mikey tease them both and make them watch it with their dad even though it’s SO painful (and ofc splinter is oblivious lol)
raph got his front tooth knocked out after he was certain he could skateboard across a sewer pipe upside down on his hands (he could not)
mikey and donnie prank call random businesses together they find in the yellow pages and are really good at doing voices
raph is a big fan of jackass. and it shows. he often times ropes mikey into whatever stunt he’s trying to replicate
they all have wrestling personas after watching old WWE together. leo is Consequenzes, raph is The Red Fury, donnie is Bone Crusher 2000 and mikey is Captain Die - they picked them when they were like, 9 and there’s no take backs
mikey and raph spray paint the tunnels together and make some pretty decent art. splinter is fine with it as long as they don’t make anything crude, which, as teenage boys, they absolutely do. there’s a tunnel deep in the sewers that just says ‘BOOBS LOL’
mikey is one of those kids that’s amazing at any school subject, he just doesn’t care for learning so he doesn’t apply himself at all
raph is second most smartest next to donnie. he plays chess with donnie, and he says it’s only because nobody else can or will, but he secretly enjoys it
leo is dyslexic as hell. it frustrates him, as a perfectionist, but his brothers often help him when he’s struggling
splinter made them their weapons! but raph went behind his back and sharpened his sais without him knowing (cos a sai is supposed to be blunt but ended up in donnie’s leg somehow in the trailer so. ouch)
mikey and leo both have braces, leo just wears a nighttime retainer. after raph knocked his tooth out, donnie went about bragging that he had the most perfect teeth out of all his brothers
they’re all HoH (cos their turtles and turtles have terrible hearing above water) which is why they constantly talk loudly and over each other and splinter who has great hearing, because he’s a rat, has to put up with this lol. and they don’t know they’re HoH until later on when they’re older and donnie is like “oooohhhh right yeah that makes sense”
donnie has terrible vision, being shortsighted, he’s tried to create contacts for himself in his prescription for fighting convenience but has been pretty hesitate in creating something that goes inside his eyeballs
they made a band together called Chemical Terrapins even though none of them can play instruments but they do have one of those tiny baby toy keyboards that they found in the trash once and they all fought over who was gonna play it.. until they realised their hands were way too big for the keys lol
leo totally chose the name of the band because he’s an emo kid at heart </3
splinter taught them both english and japanese but they’re not entirely fluent
