Late night ramblings:

Many media critical ideas floating around in my head that are loosely connected.

Many classic Disney villains were designed by a gay man, thus were not necessarily meant to be negative stereotypes but a pastiche of his life experiences.

80s post-apocalyptic media’s consistent use of studded leather and biker gangs feels like a homophobic cultural inclination as if to say the existence of leather daddies are an herald of the apocalypse or fall of civilization.

The cenobites in Hellraiser (1987) were admittedly a pastiche of leather culture but were erroneously appropriated into the horror genre.

Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) walks a similar fine line between homophobic and queer, depending the interpretation… Who is Frankenfurter? Why are they a villain?

The final girl trope in horror is due to heteronormative purity culture idealization, not necessarily founded in reality.

“It Follows (2014) is 1.) anti-sex and 2.) represents the AIDS epidemic” is the leading fan theory.

The video game One Leaves (2019) is literally an antismoking ad (which is why it’s free)

The black guy dying first may not always be a racist power fantasy, but it is an ongoing trope to be conscientious of, when making narrative decisions.

If Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs (1991) was allowed access to gender affirming care, they wouldn’t have turned to killing in the first place. They were denied multiple times and blacklisted: the system fail them.

Queerbaiting in the series Hannibal (2013), and it’s lasting affect on the fandom, and the view from outsiders.

Serial killers from real life helped inspire most slasher films of the 70s onward. Will our generations immortalize school shooters in horror films in the same way? And the additional fetishization and adulation of real world killers based on their documentaries, often against the bequest of family members.

Much of mainstream horror is based in Christian mythos. Even suspending the disbelief of possession, the original The Exorcist (1973) is not scary at all if you do not believe in Christianity, let alone Catholicism.

The rise of furry horror movies like Furry Nights (2016) where the killers are furries.

Elegant 1900s Mexican Saddle by Lozano

Intricately detailed light brown 1900s Mexican Saddle with long saddle bags artfully designed with a scalloped border and adorned with a combination of deep floral carving; lavish two-tone pitiado (yucca fiber) with a Greek Key border design framing an embroidered grape-vine pattern with grape clusters cleverly fabricated from fine silver threads. Silver mountings include a figural repousse flat horn, maker stamped “E ROMAN / MEXICO”, repousse adornments on the fork, swell and gullet, plus heavy gauge slotted silver conchos and lavish stirrups. Highly detailed silver repousse stirrups. The cowhide seat cover was added many years ago but is not original to the rawhide seat and should be removable. Excellent overall condition including original cinch.

Me: As a gay trans man, an actor, and a musician, I take a lot of fashion inspiration (and transition goals, tbh) from movements and subcultures pioneered by queer men. Because of this, my style tends to lean slightly androgynous or masculine in an explicitly queer way, outside the confines of patriarchal cishet masculinity.

Queer people, et al: I diagnose you with nonbinary, they/them pronouns, and bisexuality

What do your boys smell like?

I talked about this a bit on this earlier post and I don't think I have anything significant to add to it at this time. But I could tell you which perfumes they might wear in modern times? (Scents are hard to describe but I included some of their main notes to give you a vaguest idea of what they're like).

Vasco

État libre d'Orange - Tom of Finland (iris, leather, tonka bean) Dior - Homme Parfum (leather, iris, rose) Tom Ford - Tuscan leather (leather, woody, amber)

Machete

Heeley - Cardinal (linen, myrrh, frankincense) État libre d'Orange - Rien Intense Incense (frankincense, amber) Lalique - Encre Noire (cypress, vetiver)

#I'm kind of sensitive to strong smells but also one of those people that are constantly sniffing everything (?) #so navigating perfumery is kind of hazardous a lot of them give me a headache or make me feel sort of ill and dizzy #but I think these are nice I own/have owned all of these except Tuscan Leather #which is so sophisticated and rich and leathery but awfully overpriced and I don't think I can ever afford a full bottle #answered #anonymous #modern au #a lot of overlapping ingredients because big surprise leather and frankincense are my favorites #I usually wear perfumes at home only because smelling strongly is kind of a faux pas in Finnish culture #a lot of schools and workplaces for example are expected or at least strongly encouraged to be as scent free as possible #which is smart I approve that #but it does limit your opportunities to find uses for these things

if the cats don't do a lot of writing, what is parchment used for?

Parchment is basically de-haired, soaked, super thin leather. It's so easy to make that the question is less, "what is it used for?" And more "How can we use this?"

The hardest part is removing the hair, which requires an alcohol bath. SHADOWCLAN'S FERMENTATION PERK STRIKES AGAIN

It's often one of the first things a kit or apprentice will be taught about leather processing, because it's not a big deal if they bungle making it. It teaches them about using soaks, stretching, and skinning all at once. Kind of like the kitten equivalent of a class project; the Educator and the current Mentors will often plan this out as a big thing together.

Parchment will be made out of whatever little animal that was hunted in a sloppy way and has big gashes, cut into strips, and stretched in whatever shape makes sense.

So by "parchment," it's not neccesarily a beautiful, square piece of "paper" like in a book. It's leather shreds.

Most of the time this is used for art, with the very big, useful stretches most coveted by artsy cats like Sootfur. It doesn't take bistre well, but they have other pigments available to them. Sometimes it's used to practice sewing, which is ridiculously important for patching together all the little animal pelts they collect. Other times it's just given to whoever to play with.

#clan culture #You will not believe how incredibly easy it is to make leather products #It's 'you dont even need fire' level easy #Leather #Parchment #A long time ago I was trying to figure out paper and I had to halt because paper is actually hard as fuck to make in this region #I did not know that they were mostly using PARCHMENT #Which is NOT paper #It is SKIN

Still digging through the antler bins. I finished up four sets of wearable roe deer antlers and my very last set of pronghorn antelope horns, and they're all at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com. I'm hoping to have my last batch of whitetail and mule deer antler headbands up later this month, but that depends on how busy I am with other stuff.

As a reminder, I am phasing out Vulture Culture art, so this is me finishing up some last projects (which is a longer, more drawn-out process than initially intended, so it's gonna take a minute); I've also been destashing a lot of bones, claws, and other supplies both at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com and some non-Etsy stuff at http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com.
