#manly feet

[canisalbus]

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete

Doing really well in the gender game lads... for reasons unknown tbh, because it's not like I'm on HRT, and you could clock me in a heartbeat with my stupid bitch f*male voice.

"I like your husband's car," the neighbor said to my wife a few days ago.

"Have a good night sir," said the grocery bagger to me on Sunday, and "Can I get a signature sir" from the pest control contractor at work today! I always depair that someone calling me sir will "correct" themselves, thinking that they have misgendered a woman by accident—but both times they just kept talking with no backtracking!! (I pass even more with a face mask on, and never wanted to speak and break the illusion when I went shopping masked.)

#shaun talks #gender #i saw a man in chicago wearing a suit with a neatly trimmed beard and shoulder-length hair like an 1840s frenchman #i had so much gender envy because if my hair was that long i'd be called 'ma'am' :( #oh to have facial hair and a manly voice #at least god blessed me by making me over six feet tall #which lets face it is probably a big part of my perceived gender #feeling like some dough in need of yeast

You don't understand. My little guy. Constant. My little guy.

#my curious little guy #my guy who turns into an owlbear 80% of the time and into a spider or a deep rothé the rest of the time #the 'cursed to put my hands on everything' line is the root of a good half of their decisions #they always the annoying questions. they touch the cursed items. they eat the dubious food. they lick the spider. #always ask* i forgot a word lol #the rest of their personality is trying to be nice to people and Persuading #persuading people with money to part with it. persuading people to give them info. persuading shopkeepers to give you freebies #we gotta justify that persuasion proficiency! #they're not an intimidating guy! they don't lie... much. they just Look At You and then you're telling them about cheating on your wife #and they're nice to people of course. buuut if you're going to be an asshole first.... #they made that goblin kiss their feet y'know #my constant who is probably chatty because i make them do the rounds at camp & talk to all the companions every evening #even when they don't have anything to say. just. go over. say hi. #'well met.' 'speak.' 'i did miss that face you know.' 'soldier?' 'lay of sorrows guide us. did you want something?' #and then we leave because i don't want them to stay at camp or join me on the road #BUT i talk to them! i say hi! i have to be nice to them!! #my constant who's been wearing armour that makes them look very broad shouldered and manly and menacing #but who really is Some Druid. Some Potter! as in they do pottery. it's their job. #who should be wearing fun little outfits where the armour class doesn't matter #i want to do something fun with their hair and their horns in my drawings #since the game doesn't give you As Many Options As The Sims 4 With 4.6gb Of CC #wow i have a ramble tag now #wow i have an ocs tag now

What if I told you Bill Walsh was canonically obsessed with Joe Montana's feet and would use words like graceful, nimble, and sensual to describe them?

#according to sources Bill Walsh would swoon when Joe Montana did a 7-step drop back #big if true #Walsh: “don't call my offense finesse and delicate! we are manly men! #also Walsh: “guys... just look at Joe's feet! They're incredible!” #football is so freaking gay #like it's literally imbedded in the sport #nfl

I'm in my crush era

#haven't had a proper crush in like. 5 years #i hate it. i feel like a schoolboy #me: 'just talk to them like a normal person it's simple' me when it's not that simple: 🙃🤫😵‍💫 #i'm ginna recontextualize this. i don't have a crush i have MANLY LUST because i'm a BIG STRONG MAN who hasn't HAD SEX WITH A WOMAN lately #my brain has tricked ne into thinking i want to listen to them talk for 5 hours while kicking my feet like a schoolgirl on my bed #but really it's just MISDIRECTED MANLY FEELINGS #incoherent rambling

Ok I know people blur their feet in photos for the hahahas but I have big feet and bills to pay so how are we doing this

It was actually your post about breaking past your past self that encouraged me to send that!

Ahhh okay! Whenever I try to say anything motivating I just try to sound like Kamina from Gurren Lagann.

#text post #ask #anon #kamina is a character who resonates deep within my soul. he taught me that being manly has nothing to do with being a man. #your inner strength shines through you even if you don't see it. you've got to stand on your own two feet and grab your destiny bythe reins

[yoiku]

Friend had sent me these as xmas care packidge and I she sure knows me. I've never even seen knee-high feet masks just wtf? And I cant wait to smear some gold onto my eyebags and slap some snail mucus all over my face. Mmmh.

#My feet are currently in these things #And its a weird slimy sensation #Also feels like vics vapo rub lmao #i am not into these things but sure is nice to try stuff out #also there was a note that said stay manly #love that

my favorite panel from one piece so far:

also really liked how shanks cape looked in this one:

he's very gender. 2 me.

honorable mention for the most batshit framing for a backstory:

so unintentionally funny. I'm sorry.

so far it's very much a cartoon for little boys, very very simple morality, very one dimensional cartoon villains. but it's early.

#shanks is my favorite so far #i was like he's so hot #until he said “we're pirates. we don't play by the rules.” #and then after that he was hot again #also liked the shot of zoro tied up to that post #he was like detailed and shaded and very manly until you looked at his feet and he looks like goddamn bugs bunny #the art style is very funny #the feet are testing me lol #one piece #I reads one piece #ch 1 - 5

How do you dream? In full color? Do they make sense in reality? Is it whimsical?

#inspired by a comment thread (?) on mbh’s video on feet in the snow which is a game about dreaming #manly experiences full life in his dreams with color pain reflections etc. #louie lankman has absurdist dreams #personally most of my dreams are normal adjacent things that simply would not happen #i didn’t know people experienced dreams so differently and wanted to see more
