#they did things very old fashioned

[nero-neptune]

made up a group of edwardian-era hockey girls, Heavily inspired by the many wintery late 19th/early 20th century photos i processed in an archive over the summer. at some point, i decided their team would be called "the hail raisers".

#it's all about texture texture texture #i'm very bad at modeling old handwriting. but just bc i've seen a lot of old handwriting doesn't mean i can replicate it :/ #also- technically the vast Vast majority of any photos pre 1930 (that i worked with) were explicitly black and white #but we're gonna pretend this is some super faded autochrome!! which works bc i LOOOOVE autochrome <3<3<3 #the things i'm most proud of here are 1) the gloves and 2) the personality shining through each girl #they're bruised and bloody and gap toothed and they're ready for more! #my art #artists on tumblr #edwardian era #edwardian art #hockey #also this is more for me but- gap toothed girl is clara #alma's the formal looking one (with a crooked nose). lenore's looking dazed and confused. and dolores at the bottom right is out for blood #(also i'm preemptively blaming any 'off' proportions on the fact that they're wearing bulky sorta-oversized winter clothes) #(also also- drawing old fashioned hair was fun. they kinda just did whatever as long as it's in a particular shape) #(also also also- i enjoyed drawing injuries. for better or worse i think of 'injuries' whenever i think 'hockey'. #now. would you photograph edwardian-era girls beat up to hell? idk. but check out the 1890s princeton students post-snowball fight photo!)

who’s the most likely to write a book about their adventures with ldb and why is it lucien

#this is a joke but is it though #FGAHDFGHDA #he kinda strikes me as the type to have 3 literary recounts of his time with ldb #i think the first would be a very dry boring text about the histories of dragonborns as a whole and adding ldb's legacy onto it in a very #academic and dry fashion like this is how old they were when they became dragonborn this is what they did yada yada #then he has a more personal recount of his exploits with the dragonborn which admittedly are a lot more fun to read and the little personal #details and notes about the whole thing rlly add to the stories he tells in that book #though im sure a lot of members of team ldb would disagree with some of his own perspective of events in the notes LMFAO #but the third one i think would be his personal journal where he recounts experiences he had in skyrim with ldb that he wouldnt dream of #publishing in any capacity because theyre so personal #but he still wants to keep them in writing so he can look back on it later or have future flavius's enjoy the special stories within that #no one else gets to know #sentimental little bitch #AFGHFGHDFGHA

looking at pictures of myself from when i was 18 and 19 and 20 and 21 going omg she's so cute omg i was so cute back then 🥺 girl u just think ur cute in every photo u see of urself from a time when you weren't severely depressed most of the time.

#rubia speaks #the confidence and the joy of playing with fashion are really clear in the old pictures #i also spend a lot more effort on doing fun things with my hair and makeup when i'm not tired and miserable all the time #which then i look at and go 'wow! i can see i was having fun there!' #i think i'm very pretty now but i look probably ten years older and a lot less whimsical than i am in my recent pictures i think #i look now like i haven't squeezed a month of happiness consecutively out of life since over a year ago and that is correct #not to be cliche but i miss 2018 i miss 2019. i don't want to go back bc i don't fuck around with time BUT i want to feel good like then #part of me wants a drastic haircut again so i can put rollers in like i did when i was 18 but convocation is. literally tomorrow #i'm not making any huge appearance changes until after then

Charmed (1998) rewatch but only seasons 1-3 and then treating the season 4 premiere as an open-ended finale 🤷🏻‍♀️

#charmed #charmed 1998 #charmed wb #i remember what comes next all too well #honestly I am sorry to miss out on some of the phoebe/cole scenes of early s4 when they were still fun #but i don't think i can take the s4 plotlines again let alone the reminder of s5 looming #going back as an adult is fascinating though #1 - so much of the fashion is back in #season one especially #also wow preteen/early teen me was really oblivious to fashion though i did wind up thinking leather pants = cool from what i absorbed then #2 - i can absolutely see the change from the original showrunner and really wish i knew what constance m burge intended next #3 - the inconsistencies. the inconsistencies #not just the mythology they were making up on the fly #(how long are you a ghost v moving on to next life since past lives are a thing but also visitors from the afterlife etc etc) #but the timeline #how old was phoebe when victor left (thank god they recast victor absolute glow-up) #why did leo have a past life in the 20s when he should have been already growing up #cole refers to 'mornings waking up next to you' about his ADA apartment when it's very pointed that he & phoebe only hook up there once #4- fascinating how sex is treated in the early seasons v the latter #(it went over my head back in the day but) they very much make clear which boyfriends they're sleeping with v which they *aren't* #(i.e. they spell out that prue only sleeps with andy once & never with jack & that piper never sleeps with Josh etc) #5 - biggest mistake the reboot made was doing the half-sister storyline in episode 1 #it gave them no wiggle room when a sister DID leave the show but #more importantly you lose the original grew-up-together-push-each-others-buttons dynamic that is so good #not many siblings shows on that level (supernatural is the only comparison coming to mind) #6 - I'm so Team Cole still #talk about dropping the ball on character - his half-demon backstory motivated by saving his father's soul is great actually AND DROPPED #still about phoebe/cole but the prue and cole dynamic makes more sense knowing they were dating IRL #and shoehorning in paige out of the blue distrusting cole mid s4 as replacement for that dynamic just will never work for me #anyway as my sister is now my roommate in the old house we rent Charmed (early seasons) hits different and holds up better than i expected!

you're dating coffee girl? im so invested

not coffee girl !! coffee girl is rly cool and we met up hung out etc and it was great !! she cut her hair short and wears long coats and is so much more free+happy now than she was before. she used to have a timetable of her life to the minute for the next 10 yrs and now she's spontaneous and happy and she told me about n+7 poetry and we ended up sitting next to each other in the dark for looking at generative art in this beautiful exhibition...anyway yh ! she's a cool human :) but we're not dating

but !! this is a different person (tagged as [chroma blue]). look @ tags for context.

#ok so i went to study in a venice for a bit but a few weeks before i did i met this peeson who seemed rly cool etc . but then when i was #in italy i became kind of infatuated w this person who was rly rly unrealistic to know so i told the first person i probably wouldnt be #interested in them romantically bc i was caught up in other feelings etc and we continued being friends but she is just So Cool so it was #like. inevitable. i got over italy person and we went on like 2 very perfect dates and i told her maybe im ready to explore things #romantically now but then i realised despite how perfect the dates were i didnt feel that intense spark so i was like. nvm. at this point #it had been 3 months and i thought i was literally incapable of love bc this person [chroma blue] was perfect etc #anyway so they came over to hang out as friends like 2 weeks later and they were supposed to go home the next day #and they ended up staying over for 4 days and then i realised i was being sooo dumb by rejecting them #like it was lich rally just self sabotage and fear of loss etc etc. and like. we ended up catching a spontaneous train to a diff city and #everything we did felt like a date and at the end they were like u are sending so many mixed signals and i was like. yh #so i told them abt how i felt and like my thought etc and they were like. u know i have liked u since the day we met . x anyway #so we talked a lot etc and then met up again and like. yh. literally she ended up staying over at my place again lol . also like that day #was so perfect our first kiss was rly nice everything was just rly nice we did a lot . anyway yh #she likes poetry and art n she carries her sketchbook w her everywhere and she knows so much abt like. the theory and history of fashion #etc etc and whenever were in an art gallery she tells me sm abt what she knows its so cool. shes also #rly rly pretty and cool etc etc . en ee way #yea #asks #anon #she knows sm abt colour and light and shadow. she stays up reading notes left by old artists. #the second time we met she told me she really wants to paint me and then she said it again after we kissed for the first time. etc

So whats it like having illustration for a job? Or was it graohic design? It was something along those lines right?

i do both actually! to be honest i just call myself a freelancer, since i do whatever people will hire me for. most of my gigs are theatre related, usually stage design + costuming, and then also stage photography/documentation. a lot of my graphic design and illustration work is also usually theatre related as well; i do logo designs for small theatre companies and a lot of posters/graphics + tour marketing campaigns. this book contract i just finished is the biggest illustration job i've done just solely by itself (cover + 13 full page interiors), whereas normally the illustration/drawing work i do is a part of another job; like hand-drawing a logo or doing big scenic painting. the biggest physical 'illustration job' i did was for the set of my thesis show in undergrad, where i painted custom portraits of queen victoria that got blown up to 20ft tall (don't ask), a ted harrison style 30ft mountain range backdrop, and a custom hand drawn+painted 30ft floral mandala for the turntable in the stage. yes that was all for the same show and yes it took me almost a year to design everything.

to get back to your question though, it's like being any other kind of freelance worker, i suppose. i had a lot of fun with this book contract and i'd love to do more, but it just depends on what gigs find me first.

#i really love doing poster design! the most recent one i did was for my solo exhibition #and i did this fun riff on the cover of an old ikea catalogue #i also do headshots and fashion photography occasionally and i custom make garments + do alterations for people #basically if i have a skill there's a reasonable chance someone has paid me to do it #the reason why i do so many different things is that its hard for small theatre companies to hire 'professionals' for some of these things #bc there's usually too high a cost barrier and the 'professionals' are not familiar with the conventions of the form #like finding a good theatre/performance photographer can be hard bc you need a very good camera right off the bat (for low light) #and a lot of photographers aren't usually familiar enough with theatre to know when to get good shots #/arent able to get to know a show well enough to get those shots bc you can only hire them for one session etc #so i usually offer to photograph all the shows i do 1) for my own documentation purposes and #2) so they dont have to bring someone else in and worry about scheduling etc etc #non kpop questions #text #answers

Kermit! Reminiscing... this song was memorable. youtu(.)be/JOMsz-ru2g8 "“The Rainbow Connection” is, in the words of its co-writer Paul Williams, Kermit the Frog's “I Am” song, meaning that it sets him up as a character and provides the motivation that sends him out on those highways and byways. In other words, it lends depth and humanity to a character who is mostly fabric and foam." -The Bluegrass Situation (PW also co-wrote Evergreen with Barbra Streisand featured in A Star is Born).

paul williams is in this two-part episode of the nancy drew/hardy boys mysteries from 1977 called "nancy drew and the hardy boys meet dracula" and i was obsessed with this as a child (amongst a few other episodes, though i enjoyed the whole show) after seeing it in syndication, and watched it every halloween...maybe i STILL watch it at halloween lmaaao 👀🦇

my mom raised me on the carpenters along with everything else i've mentioned, so karen's beautiful voice singing rainbow connection/we've only just begun/rainy days and mondays is indelible in my mind right alongside barbra with songs like evergreen.

i love that about kermit, they really do feel like flesh and blood characters at times, don't they? and so much of that is in the emotional context that could be given to them through emotional context like rainbow connection.

#also i thought parker stevenson was so dreamy and i wanted to become pamela sue martin who i thought was so smart and fashionable and pretty #i wanted to get my hair styled like hers as nancy i'm serious #did it matter that this was decades later? of course not #anonymous #letterbox #i own that show on dvd...the boxes are falling apart. nancy drew/hardy boys and remington steele were everything to me at that time #(and i had the same feelings about mr. steele and laura holt. and i still do. i was SO valid for that) #remington steele is very connected to my love of old hollywood too #my mom watched those shows when they aired and then gave them to me. formative things!

im super proud of myself for fixing my brown leather jacket though like i didn’t do a very good job but i literally have a hundred year old leather jacket that isn’t falling apart anymore. or i mean. it’s falling apart slightly. but i sewed seams into LEATHER and i survived and didn’t destroy everything badly and forever. and that’s pretty friggin cool.

#like. idk if you guys remember my hundred year old leather jacket #that i was still wearing even though the seams of the sleeves were literally gaping open #i took around a year and a half break from wearing it after deciding that actually no it is very noticeable and not in a good way #anyway for the last week of school all my fashion ii class was doing was working on mending and diy #and basically my teacher lent me a leather needle and a good thimble and i did everything else myself #and there’s parts of it that i can’t quite fix but the big super noticeable parts are good now #and im pretty friggin proud of that #anyway i have to get dressed and i feel gross so i want to shower #but i showered last night so that would be pretty dumb and stupid #so idk what im gonna do exactly. cause my sanctity/degradation foundation doesn’t like me right now #i’ve gotten so insufferable since i read that book shdhdfdf it’s just. cool knowing a couple of theoretical psychological roots of stuff #like from an evolutionary standpoint. it’s good to remember that i only feel like a disgusting person because of a warped moral filter that #was only supposed to exist to keep me from literally getting sick and dying by the omnivores dilemma. and like. im fine #not that i shouldn’t be keeping myself clean and such. but the compulsion about it feels like. it’s just so stupid because it’s like im #compelled to do bad behaviors. in response to my feeling of disgust at having done bad behaviors #and it just cycles and cycles and cycles. just because i did bad stuff yesterday doesn’t mean i should hurt myself about it. basically #and if freaking evolutionary psychology is going to be the thing that keeps me safe then so be it #im gonna stay out of the shower im gonna wash my hands a couple more times than necessary and im going to get dressed #actually fun morality fact: you’re less likely to do stuff that goes against your moral foundations if you washed your hands recently #so im gonna wash my fuckin hands and get my care harm foundation up to par and then figure out where im at #also sorry for derailing this post and talking about moral psychology. if you’ve been here any amount of time you know how it is #me. my post. mine. #delete later (probably)

Lowkey,,, I want to finish the redesigns for the Admin Members of Team Flare that I posted here on my pokemon blog,,,

Seeing it again just made me think, "I also want to tackle the Sinnoh (for BDSP) and Unova (minus Elesa) gym leader designs" mostly because if ORAS and FRLG/Let's Go gave the Hoenn (I loved them immensely) and Kanto gym leaders redesigns/new outfits, then Sinnoh and Unova deserve them too. Also, it'll be like an exercise to me in terms of design.

#Also also #The reason why I wanted to design those admins from Team Flare in the first place #I just... Hated their designs even as a 12-13 year old I did not like them #Too much orange in my opinion #Also they were so forgettable which saddens me #In comparison Team Rocket's executives who also weren't seen too much like Team Flare's admins are very memorable to me for some reason #So as well as giving them new designs I will also tweek their personalities #Here's a little thing that I'm using as inspiration: Lady Gaga and of course fashion #Don't ask...Those admins just instictively make me hear a Lady Gaga song in my head when I see them #☆moondust.talks☆

[cesium-sheep]

and of course part of why I'm too tired to articulate all this is because I'm so used to having to fight hard to be understood or even heard, so I just don't feel like bringing it up at all because I don't want to start a fight I can't finish.

#nor do I have the energy to deal with other people's feelings about my feelings #which is also something I'm very used to having to do #or in this particular instance the good old fashioned Mom Special of 'but I put so much work into this thing you did not ask me to do!'

I love the idea of the Wayne kids dropping extremely vague and disturbing comments during galas. Especially when in uncomfortable situations or if they're just bored. They pull out things from their nightlife too. Other times they just make shit up.

Socialite: Oh, dear, your cheeks look so sullen! Who sucked the life out of you?

Tim, dead serious: An old man with a goatee.

Socialite: Uh... what?

Dick: Once I broke my knee so badly that I swear I could see part of the bone sticking out.

Socialite: Good lord. How on earth did that happen?

Dick: Just clumsy gymnast things ^^

Socialite: The white streak is certainly a bold fashion choice.

Jason: I saw someone get decapitated once, so I could be doing worse in terms of what's on my head, yknow? At least I have one.

Socialite: What's your favourite colour, sweetie?

Damian: Red.

Socialite: Oh that's lovely!

Damian: Like the blood of my enemies.

Socialite: Oh.

Socialite: You must be new to these kind of events.

Duke: Uh, yeah, they're kind of scary. But I've had worse.

Socialite: Worse.

Duke: Well I've been left on top of a skyscraper before with no way down just to 'get over my fear of heights' so, yes.

Socialite: You don't talk very loud, do you? I can barely hear you.

Cass, with a straight face: If I spoke any louder every glass in the room would shatter.

Tim, behind her: I can vouch.

#batfam #batman #cassandra cain #damian wayne #dc comics #dick grayson #duke thomas #jason todd #tim drake #they make bets on who can freak out the most stuck up socialites #its a very fun game for them #bruce just lets it happen #he secretly finds it funny #sometimes even plays along #socialite: so how did you end up with so many kids? #bruce: they were brought to me by an alien

oh, I used to be a person

#I cared about my hair #and I did stupid drag for dances of vice #and fashion shows #and felt whole and like a real thing #what the fuck happened #very old pictures of me

[gowns]

one of my "special interests" in the past couple of years has been exploring fast fashion vs. slow fashion. it has been a long journey trying to find clothes that actually 1) fit me 2) look good 3) are made from material that is not actively shoving plastic in the ecosystem 4) involve ethical labor, fair trade, fairly compensated, etc

before i did this research, i really had no clue about fabrics or fashion brands. i used to think i had zero interest in fashion, in fact.

i grew up wearing walmart and thrift store clothes, and when i went to college i bought clothes from target and asos. something started to shift a little bit when i found vintage resellers on etsy and ebay... those clothes were so unique. but a lot of the vintage clothes were polyester blends, stiff, and would fall apart as easily as my asos clothes. i would leave them hanging in my closet and never wear them. i would wear the same old t shirts and jeggings every day. i felt like it was impossible to ever wear comfortable clothes, or ever feel good in clothes, so why bother?

it started with linen. linen is very comfortable and pretty sustainable. i was amazed that i didn't feel the urge to rip my clothes off when i wore linen. lightbulb number one.

a friend let me borrow a nooworks dress, and i went to the store and got some overalls. wow. overalls. lightbulb number two. holy shit, you can wear overalls. you know how people say "not binary or non-binary but a secret third thing." that's overalls.

i realized i loved the bonkers prints that nooworks had, and all of it was soft, and made ethically. it was a higher price point than i was used to, which gave me pause. but then you realize: we're not supposed to be buying dumb clothes every other weekend. and isn't a slightly higher price point for soft clothes that you won't want to tear off your body worth it?

so i started my research. i made a spreadsheet. the prices can be all over the place across brands, so i made a column for prices. sizes can be all over the place too -- people always ask me "where is the plus size slow fashion?" it's there. just look at the size column. people say "isn't it better to buy secondhand?" yeah, it is. i have many links to secondhand sources.

if you have any suggestions or additions please let me know, it is a living document.
