#the extravagance of it all

[soldier-poet-king]

Ik Ik we've already established that fast fashion has decreased the quality of clothing in every way imaginable from the fabric itself to the cut and construction of garments

But also we really don't have outfits with banging decorative embroidery on them anymore and that sucks

#ykwim??? #the extravagance of it all #the golden embroidery touches on a dark coloured garment #details on lapels #the everything about it!!!!!! #anyway dandies and old timey fantasy protags. yknow the vibe. i want the embroidered accents sooooo bad #i wanna be fancy in my everyday #i wanna be over the top ridiculous and fun #instead i am like. stuck with polyester blends and nothing fits right and it's BORING

i've seen some people in the batman fandom look (very reasonably) at this rich mans "crusade" against crime and be like he's selfish and self important and it would be much better if he invested in infrastructure. but

have you considered the funnier and more ridiculous option that he has? imagine that all of gothams schools are funded by the wayne foundation to ensure a certain quality of life and education even for the poorest kids. they have free daycares and free clinics and free pantries....but all the craziest villains in the country still flock to Gotham because of...vibes?

Bruce is trying everything and he's so confused why everything that works everywhere else just WON'T work here. Gotham becomes a global statistical anomaly, baffling social scientists everywhere.

#all of batmans villains are too extravagant to be doing this on a budget #batmans rogue gallery is essentially a bunch of rich people with too much free time and not enough therapy #he starts all the programs after dick and jason give him an earful about how the only way to solve crime is to solve poverty #and so he's like bet #and yeah it reduces the number of goons and thugs and minions per villain #but the villains are still there because this is just their favorite hobby #batman #batman rogues #batfam #batfamily

"artists deserved to be paid" and "this is a horrible decision" are two statements that should and do coexist

#'you're not entitled to free content' look carol im not saying i am #but what on earth makes watcher think their fanbase is strong enough to support this sort of move? #you only have 3 mil subscribers #which is not a lot in this economy #youtube sucks i get it #and if they're That pressed for cash then i would understand putting maybe a chunk of their content behind a paywall #as well as bonus content #but ALL of it??? #and no ones asking for huge production value #no ones asking for extravagant things #we would rather have lower quality than NOTHING #watcher

Something about the fact that both Dean and Cas think they’ve fucked up too many times to be redeemed, that they aren’t worth saving, and yet they forgive each other.

Something about the fact that both of them, faced with an outside force compelling them to kill the other, pushed past that to save each other’s lives.

Something about Cas dying to save Dean time after time because he can’t stand the thought of seeing Dean dead, not knowing what it does to Dean to see Cas dead, and to feel like the blood is on his hands; about Cas trying to restructure the universe for Dean and Dean just wanting him to stay.

Something about Dean teaching Cas to be more human and then, when he is human, failing to help him and having to live with the regret of that.

Just…something about Cas and Dean and the way that they’re simultaneously doomed and inevitable, always circling around something but never able to land

#on a meta level you could say it’s chuck keeping them apart #on a more meta level chuck is the writers/showrunners #but anyway #rip sam who had to watch this extravagant dance #and all he got out of it was a dead best friend dead brother blurry wife and party city wig #spn #supernatural #dean winchester #spn meta #castiel #cas #deancas #casdean #destiel #destiel meta #dean studies #when i say i love dean #dean winchester character study #dean winchester meta

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

#terribly sorry about her hair blending into the background in the lookbook pics by the way. i've never taken screenshots in live mode before #anyway. got bored so i tried my hand at an alchemy sage #i actually tried keeping her at roughly the same level of extravagance as the other three sages' official designs so she could #somewhat reasonably stand next to them. otherwise i would've made her far more elaborate what with being a sage and all #that being said i am very proud of how she turned out in the end though #the sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 simblr #simblr #ts4 spellcaster #spellcaster #ts4 sage #realm of magic sage #ts4 lookbook #lookbook #sim: aurelia aquareine #snag's sim tag #...as a bonus treat for reading the tags this far i'll let you in on a secret #aurelia's first name means 'the golden one' referencing gold's alchemical significance and perfection #whereas her last name aquareine is the name of a character from the wizard of oz novels (like how L. faba's name is a reference to elphaba) #AND is a reference to the name of the aqua regia chemical solution as well

Sneak Peak...

...of something I'm writing right now.

"She doesn’t look particularly well-fed to me. Release her.”

The guards broke under the second order; the hold abruptly lifted, and having been half-supported by such, Bryony fell forward onto her hands.

“What is a vampire doing trespassing on Wulfhelm property? My guards think you’re here for me.” He fluffed the fur on one cheek. “I wouldn’t blame you. However, the unconventional manner of your break-in raises some doubts.”

“What break-in?” Bryony said. “I came up the walk like any other civilized person.”

“My point exactly.”

#sneak peak #mini snippet #snippet of a snippet #creative writing #fantasy #werewolf #vampire #you'll seeee #it's coming soooon #I just gotta do other stuff before I can keep working on it #I'm so excited for all the manor-life extravagance

My personal feelings in the Fionna and Cake ending is that it was perfect.

The story showed about how we can only control what is in our very personal and small world and not worry about or take on the responsibilities of that outside ourself.

We will make mistakes and wish we could rewrite them over and over and over until it’s perfect but we can’t. We will hate aspects of our lives and adore aspects of lives we don’t know the intricacies or hardships of but we can not insert ourselves. We have our own lives to live and rather than define it by a given purpose let us define the purpose as we go along. Not everything is revealed when it’s over, you may not get the answers but it’s okay to go somewhere and not know.

Some endings are happy, some are sad and some are just that, endings. They don’t have neat little bows or a “The End” on the last page but they allow us to put the past down and move on to whatever else lies ahead.

#Betty is a chaos god Simon is just a guy and it’s okay their worlds don’t match them or each other any more #change happened and the more they fought it the more it hurt them #fionna learned this is just her life and that’s fine #I think people expecting a big emotional ending forget the show was mainly about after the healing process when you are just allowed to #drift and find what to do next like Simon or a sedimentary moment like fionna #everyone more or less already moved on they just needed to accept it like Simon finally did #and fionna had to except sometimes the moment is all there is and you have to move with it and not past #betty Simon fionna made their choices and now they live with them there is no change only being heard and they all got that and the peace #they could gain from it and ya missed the point if you think someone was cheated or their fate was left ambiguous or unfair #they are going to be what they are now fionna a non magical normal woman #simon a guy out of his time but okay about it #and Betty a being past itself and the world #it’s not extravagant but it’s what it should be the world goes on and sometimes the only change is you noticing it’s still spinning #fionna and cake #adventure time

Alright look, I see too many headcanons that John Hancock can’t sing.

So here’s a video of Danny Shorago, his voice actor, in Hancock cosplay, singing.

Do not put this blasphemy on my Beef Jerky Husband ever again

Whenever Steve’s dad pulls an asshole move that particularly pisses him off, Steve takes his friends spite shopping with his father’s credit card

It happens first with Robin when the mall just burned down and Steve’s still visibly injured from what went down there and his father is already on him about finding a new job as if he got fired or quit for fun and his job didn’t burn down and sure his dad doesn’t know the real version of what happened, but he almost died ‘in the fire’, can’t he at least have an inch of breathing room?

But he hasn’t cut Steve off yet, he’s just threatening to if he doesn’t start looking for a new job soon. So Steve picks up Robin and takes her to every store in town still open and buys himself a bunch of shit and keeps asking her what she wants and suggesting stuff for her and when she brushes off one of the things he shows her as way too expensive, Steve tells her he’s paying. And Robin looks hesitant, so he adds, “Well, actually, my douche father is. That’s the whole point of this. So the more expensive the better.” And Robin just studies his face for a moment and then turns and says, “In that case…” and just starts grabbing things and they both grin

After this, Robin is a staple in the tradition of spending as much of his father’s money in one day as possible whenever Steve wants to send a message. The kids also frequently benefit from Steve’s random “Come on, we’re going shopping. You can get whatever you want. I’m buying.”

They don’t know why Steve sometimes just randomly decides to spoil them all and they don’t question it. Obviously he can afford it. At first, they try to just get a few things but then Steve starts shoving more at them and asking if they want it, so they start trying to push the limits of what they can get, but it becomes very clear very fast that Steve has no limit for what he’ll buy for them when he’s in this mood

Steve’s father hasn’t acknowledged Steve’s rage spending once. Steve knows that’s probably a good thing, but at the same time it annoys the hell out of him that he doesn’t know if his father even notices or cares. And that’s why the scale of his spending goes up every time

#The kids have convinced him to drive them out of town to a bigger comic book store and to buy out half the store before #They had no clue that Steve was *looking* for them to spend a bunch of money so they just thought it was the luckiest day of their lives #Pre-season 4 Eddie when Dustin’s showing off all the stuff King Steve let him get like 🤨 what #He definitely started the reckless spite spending back in the Tommy and Carol days and they were all for it #His purchases back then were more just what douchey extravagant things can he get more than hey let’s buy everyone everything #They’re spaced out and come at random times so the kids still have zero idea what sometimes randomly puts Steve in this mood every once in #a while #Steve Harrington #Robin Buckley #Platonic with a capital P #Platonic Stobin #Stranger Things #ST #Mine
