The evolution of Sebastian Stan in all black (2010-2023)

#I don't love valentine's day but I do love sebastian in all black #so have this #sebastian stan #aka the prettiest man on earth #also a little chameleon #this is chronological by the way #look at all these different looks #when the outfits are all very similar #how does he do it?? #there are some all black outfits missing #but these are some of the best ones I think #had to include the leather jackets #there were a few great fits that looked like all black but we're actually navy #might have to do a navy suit post sometime too 🤔 #anyway he is our beautiful dark prince baby 🥰

#reason i wanted to change koe's design was bc i felt like the first one was a bit too basic ig? #wanted to give it more personality beyond being a maid outfit #so a funkier skirt and shorter sleeves and gloves and stuff. idk its more koe and less maid. but still maid #other than that obviously are the two wholly new characters #honestly designing them was interesting in a way bc it was like reverse engineering andys face #i think she takes after her mom more tho #but she also does try to emulate her so thats also part of it #honestly andy is really similar to amary in a lot of ways not just bc of the whole princess thing but the family dynamics to a degree too #there are still some pretty big differences (andy wasnt abused but her father is still really strict and constraining out of worry #and amary's mom was actually kinda the polar opposite of andy's and their emulations are completely different too) #BUT #look read cepheus's flaw. hes not going to be a good guy lol #hes the type that starts out nice enough on the surface but when pushed it will become. again. ends justify the means #very.... 'my way or the highway' type guy i guess. but with power #cassiopeia s more noble than that though despite any arrogance in her skills #its like one side of a balancing act lost #again look at her power. its wings! wings mean freedom! no restraint! touch the sky! #unfortunately kingdoms arent usually about that is the thing #maybe andy can fix it now though #but honestly andy percy and ursa are pretty much all just here for convenience #it wouldve been easier to have a ref post lumping all royals and andy's entourage together. and ursa i guess idk where else shed go lol #i thought abt putting her w the zodiac knights but their theme is too uniform. background color is the same tho so same affiliation #w the royals #also does anyone get my amazing joke. shes a major. major ursa. ursa major. i know i know #ill be here all week #finn's ocs #oc references #finn's art

every newer gen kpoppy who calls it revolutionary every time a big name bg member wears something vaguely skirt-like should be required to watch lee sungjong of infinite putting his whole pussy into performing coming of age ceremony by park jiyoon wearing the song's classic form-fitting black side-slitted dress with zero gimmicks way back in 2012

#its Required Material re: historical kpop genderfuckery #no but im 100% for real. this was in the middle of the era where bg members doing gg songs in drag and whatnot was a really #common gag at concerts and in variety shows and whatnot- especially using bg members who were/are considered the most effeminate #basically it was a big Joke and never taken seriously. alot of the time the dances would be exaggerated and whatnot and yeah they #werent like. REAL covers. werent usually respectful of the original gg/female idol's work and all that. haha man in dress type humor #i know if you're old enough to be following me and into kpop you probably know this already and im talking into space but whatever #anyway. sungjong said fuck that and fucking killed it with a genuine live cover (dance And vocals) of coming of age ceremony #which- as you can imagine based on the title- isnt just an iconic female idol song but one that's blatantly about female sexuality #and whatnot. wore the dress that's in the original mv (or something very similar) and didnt play it up with a wig or anything like that #(like what's usually the case when male idols cover gg songs to make it more clear that its a Costume and they are Crossdressing rather tha #just. being a guy and wearing a dress.) #did not shy away from the sexiness of the dance AT ALL to the point of riding the floor at one point more or less which. god fucking damn #but anyway. it's totally true to the original and is unapologetically sexy in an inherently orientation-fucking gender-fucking way and GOD #wish it got more attention than it did because THAT is revolutionary. thats the first performance i ever saw where a male idol did a #female idol song in the original female idol outfit live without any gimmick or even the implication that it COUNTS as drag. its SUCH a #big deal imo. and it helps that its really fucking hot but thats neither here nor there. anyway. i know its been years but i still have so #many feelings and opinions about sungjong's coming of age ceremony performance ghfgjhdgfdh WATCH IT #sungjong #infinite #kibumblabs

Sometimes a joke is for you and you alone

Id under the cut

A sprite trace of ace attorney characters dressed in outfits of characters from the 23rd season of classic Doctor who. On a background of the 6th doctors tardis interior

From left to right is

Maya Fey as Peri brown

Phoenix Wright as the 6th doctor

Athena Cykes as Mel Bush

Miles Edgeworth as the valeyard

Kristoph Gavin as the Master

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #phoenix wright #athena cykes #Kristoph gavin #maya fey #what matters is that i think im funny #things to note. er trying to get outfit refs from grainy still images of low buget 80 television shows in very difficult #especially when they're in all black. #i think the valeyard actually wears panta but its unclear and that seems stupid so he has proper robes here #i got half the masters outfit ref from a fucking action figure because the in show images were rough #kristoph gets to be the master over miles because the valeyard needs to be a procecutor and master x doctor is way more toxic than nmts #and i am saying that about like my two otps #krisnix has like a more similar mortal enemies but gay about it dynamic but i think theyre way more toxic #which is funny because Kristoph has done comparatively way less murder #mel was going to be ema or trucy but thinking about it athena fits her way to well. red headed fitness buff that the fans hate #also tracing Phoenix outfit to make it the 6's easy as hell. loved that. putting the pattening on? actual hell #it may be messy at points but im not cleaning it up for something with a venn diagram of interest with only me in the centre #i always get scared to tag stuff as classic who because like theres so much history and i feel like a fake fan. #posting cringe in the AA tags is so unscary to me now. its just my little encosure #6th doctor #classic who #fan art #colin baker #oh in case the joke goes over anyones heads the outfits are from the dw season thats a courtroom drama. its not well liked #also lets not think about the metaphysical consequences of miles being the valeyard. hes just the main prosecutor #and also i wanted to dress my blorbo in the stupidest outfit #this was fun thoigh. maybe ill do this for other dw characters and aa ones just without any pretense or context #just for fun

[pcktknife]

new gloria costume on pokemas really made me realize how super unrecognizable she looks w/o her reg outfit she is just some girl

#i only knew who she was when she showed up during the hilda/hilbert/n thing bc marnie was w her and even still i wasn't sure #kae.txt #alot of the girls really if they dont have their standard hairstyle i cant tell who they are #the guys tend to be put in clothes that are styled similarly to their actual outfits but all the girls look very similar to me

So what's one of your favorite Tsutsumi fits 😉

random as hell question to be askin 🤨 so mysterious...

but since you did ask probably this one <3 from the second episode of pure <3

#snap chats #i love his scarves and turtlenecks in this too- i love a lot of toru's outfits tbh. i just think he's cute in general </3 #highkey its prob one of my faves cause this is also my favorite sequence of scenes #he and yuka are just esp cute it makes me giggle #their autism4autism love is my favorite..... fr this sequence is so cute like CAN I. RAMBLE about it real quick #cause it's a scene where yuka invites toru home but there's a sign left by her mom on the door that says not to let strangers in #and With His Eyes toru reads it like 'is it ok if im here ??' and yuka just 🥺 'youre my friend and a nice person so its ok :)' #and then he just gives her The Stare™️ yk the one and i cry. AND THE SCENE AFTER WHEN SHE'S TRYING TO MAKE COFFEE-- #guys this is my favorite episode for a reason idc pure still has a chokehold on me 😭😭😭 theyre so cute.. #back to the outfit tho its also just. VERY city-goer to me idk what it is. prob all the denim. prob cause its somethin my dad would wear-- #im usually denim's number-one hater but if ttm's wearing it it's ok #OH ALSO update on OMC2: ttm IS in it TECHNICALLY but it's just a quick flashback segment #it's. it's a flashback to the ending scene ☠️ #even in a movie he's not technically in he's still shirtless girl i cant #and yet he was never shirtless in THIS show... lol.... #anyway yeah it this one <3 def had plans of stealing it since the store i usually shop at's having a sale and they're sellin a similar shir #that'll have to be plans for christmas i think....

Modern AU Katherine's style icon as a kid would be Taylor from High School Musical

#this is obviously assuming she's the right age to have watched hsm as a kid #but I'm just thinking about all the ties Taylor has #and the prom dress she wears when they first sing a night to remember in hsm3! #and i think Katherine would incorporate some elements of men's fashion into her outfits #and assuming she grows up in a similar environment to canon (stuffy repressive and with parents who have very strict ideas of how to be) #a random Disney character who sometimes wears ties could very well be her first exposure to that sort of thing #it was for me! #anyway i have a headache I'm incoherent but Katherine in a suit thank you for your time #newsies headcanons #Katherine plumber #isabel.tex #anyway I've talked about Katherine and style a bit with Alex but it's getting a Tumblr post now because i feel strongly

[polaroidcats]

I went to get new glasses today and at one point when the optician said something about my eyes my brian just went "giant green orbs", I think this might be a sign that I spend too much time on tumblr..

#ramblings #but i got new glasses!!!! AND he said he can get my old ones repaired !!!!! what a successful day #the new ones are v similar to the old ones they're a similar shape but instead of all gold coloured metal they're mostly black w a bit gold #what can i say #i apparently have a type when it comes to glasses #but i'm very happy he said he could repair my old ones AND i got new lenses put into them so then i'll have 2 current pairs of glasses?!???! #what a luxury!!!!!! #i'm very excited to be able to choose which glasses go with my outfit of the day lol #since i wear black almost every day and have gold colored piercings and jewelry the answer will always be both lol #but still!!!! yay new glasses!!!! very exciting day for me if not for my bank account!!!!

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Seriously, who the fuck did these designs and why the fuck did they do them like this?

#with ahsoka its just #we've seen padawan outfits #they all very similar and given they going into battles alot #it makes sense #but then you get ahsoka whose fourteen and entering battlefields eventually #and shes in a tube top???? #like how did that design even pass #like it says alot when we saw fourteen year old ahsoka again eventually in tales of jedi #she has a updated design #even present day SW wants to ignore that design #and with dani its just #her civilian clothes are actually good? they what a kid would wear #but then you get her turning into hero form and shes got...a crop top???? #granted alot of the girls including sam seem to wear crop tops #but like with dani its just pretty sure shes a pre-teen so what is even going on with this design choice

[skenpiel]

homestuck fans when theres no rhyme or reason to the trickster designs and its literally just a jumbled mess of hideous colors and vague candy themes which means theres no consistency to analyze to help with making fan designs

#now imagine if you will a very distraught face. because i cant be bothered adding an image #ANYWAYSSSSSSS i wanted 2 try making one but god its just so hard bc theres so many fucking colors and i suck at coloring anyway #i tried analyzing them to the best of my abilities to see if there was any consistency i could go off of......... but no theres Nothing #the only thing is that their cheek swirls are the same color as their pestechum colors. and thats it #even the outfits are different it seems to be slightly altered versions of their original outfits? #like roxy was wearing her purple knit dress when she got bonked but it was still her original outfit afterwards #their hair colors dont make sense their shoe colors dont make sense their head ornaments make a LITTLE sense.......... #jakes and dirks are the most obvious. pumpkin and orange soda its like their thing i guess #janes being a muffin makes sense cuz crockercorp baker etc etc #roxys makes the least sense...... i dont think there was ever any mention of cotton candy for her aside from when caliborn wanted his weird #smut to be color coordinated for whatever reason #whenever i make otufits its usually just varying shades of the same 3 or so colors so trickster designs are a nightmare #even my old trickster mode trollsona was like. 3 colors total LOL #not to mention i wanted to make this design for my trollsona. and we only ever saw humans in trickster mode #and looking at older fanart didnt help cuz everyone had decided unanimously that the canon designs sucked ass (they did) #and in the future we should all give each character a food or somthing similar to base the whole design off of (good decision) #blehh. i give up its too much of a pain-_- #anyway. maybe i really am sick i think i need to lay down #already slept literally all day but im still so tired.......... #i took painkillers and allergy meds in case of cat hair on bed but i still feel groggy as fuck #well whatever. itll probably go away soon i never really stay sick for long

When you go through the entire aesthetics wiki and look at all the new-ish ones that have specifically developed on Tumblr, TikTok, and Pinterest, you start to realize that they can really be put into three categories like 75% of the time because people choose the same music constantly when they're making -core playlists so they all fit into either "Soldier, Poet, King", "Bubblegum Bitch", or "Sweater Weather".

#occasionally you get one and it'll have Animal Crossing music #but yeah #tbh if this experiment has taught me anything #it's that people think aesthetics are WAY narrower than they should be #like girlie cottagecore prairiecore jamcore fairytalecore dark fairycore and angelcore are all very similar variations of the same thing #just accept you're wearing slightly different colors or a different motif #I'm not trying to be mean because people can do what they want but like... #idk I don't think the fact that your outfit is red and contains hearts makes it 'lovecore' #that's just wearing red and hearts. It's a motif #it's an outfit flavor #For a long time (they're starting to fix it) #the wiki was plagued with paged about like 'butterflycore' or 'seagul core' which just meant wearing things with those motifs... #and like I'm sorry a motif or a color isn't an aesthetic #the aesthetic is the overarching vibe!!!! #I think when it comes to aesthetics they should be very broad so people can carve out their own niches #the same thing goes for all the -academias btw. There isn't any difference between any of them in a fashion sense #They're all just Claire De Lune and Sweater Weather to me. #goat talk #I can't believe I'm doing this for a whole year #you can already see how crazy I'm going #perhaps appropriately #today is clowncore #(Which is actually distinct! But to me still a subsect of kidcore)

thinking about my ghibli wizard wilbur.. i will ramble in the tags again;;

#wilbur is rumored to be quite dangerous since most non-magic people don't have a good understanding of wizards #and dream doesn't know any better so he is still apprehensive about wilbur despite seeking him out #but when he spends time with him and apprentice tommy in their 'castle' dream quickly realizes how gentle and kind wilbur is #he can be a bit of a mess (emotionally and also literally) but wilbur adores dream as soon as he meets him #and wants to show him all the wonderful things about his world of magic #tommy recognizes how lively and excited wilbur is when dream is around #so he tries to get dream to stay as long as possible but dream doesn't need much convincing #being whisked away from his mundane life by a charming wizard was the best thing that's ever happened to him #dream is having such a wonderful time he nearly forgets about his curse #but what he doesn't realize is the curse is being slowly lifted after every adventure with wilbur #he is learning to love and be loved unconditionally #and the strength and self confidence it gives him weakens the curse until eventually it disappears #i have also been thinking about their outfits.. i think wilbur would have one similar to howl at the beginning of the movie #because i adore that style #and dream would wear something like a sweater tucked into a long skirt with boots #because i think that would be very cute in this au #lots of scenes where they stand on beautiful flower hills...must have long skirt to flow in the breeze yesyes #ghibli au rambles

[pannyacottafugo]

i can’t imagine fugo and sheila e in a romantic relationship like fugonara is like fun and cute and we fight but then kiss and make up :) but sheila would probably vomit if fugo tried to give her a hug

#they’re best friends though !!!!!!!! #they argue and then fugo is like ‘i’m sorry’ and reaches out to apologise and she just panics and is like ‘GIORNO SOMETHINGS WRONG.’ #he walks out to show her a new outfit and she gags #sheila tries to do her makeup and shows fugo and he pulls this face ☹️ #u know? it’s like that #but in a best friends kind of way like they’re always hanging out together all the time but if u ask either of them if they like each other #they’re like ‘no i hate them’ #they will be mean to each other but then join forces when they get to be mean to someone else together #i think they watch tv together and make snarky commentary the entire time #me and the best friend who can’t show affection #sheila is homophobic but only after she finds out fugo is dating giorno #proudly biphobic sheila e (specifically directed at fugo and no one else) #‘i’m going on a date with giorno’ ‘why would you tell me that :/‘ #in saying all of this i’ll gladly eat up fugosheila content bc there’s so little phf let alone fugo and sheila e content so i’ll take it #i only say fugonara bc i think sheila and fugo have a similar-ish dynamic in a lot of ways but also very different #i can’t explain it but something something sheila reminds fugo of having narancia around and something something that’s significant #wow me leaving the entire post in the tags is awesome tbh what ??

[its--ali]

yeah I'm honestly still not feeling the hype for engage I'm just. Hm

#i think ive narrowed it down to 75% the artstyle and 25% the emblem/engage mechanic/story factor #i could get over the latter quite easily if i found the artstyle even just a bit more compelling for me but i just #i cant #and like. its beautiful art im sure the game will be gorgeous when it comes out #but it just doesnt.... fit the fire emblem feeling to me?? #it doesnt look like fire emblem #it doesnt feel like fire emblwm #it looks like genshin impact #like even though the art styles for all the previous games span various styles they all still feel very fe to me #like awakening and fates are v similar but theyre v different from like. por and rd #but both still evoke fe #three houses is leagues away from fe4/5 #but again both still FEEL essentially. fire emblem #engage doesnt fit anywhere into it i dont think and maybe im just being nitpicky but i dont like it im sorry #theres a lot of same face going on #all of the eyes are Super Big and Far Apart #nnnnnot a fan of allears hair and eye colour scheme #and some of the outfits are very.... Questionable #so yeah not preordering #probably not gonna buy it #might watch some yt shit to spoil myself when it comes out and see if its something thatll hook me or not

[linawritesocs]

seth's twst school uniforms!

YES. MY SON GETS ALL THE UNIFORMS. AND HE GETS THE DORM UNIFORMS AS WELL I JUST DIDN'T DRAW HIM WEARING THEM YET.

so, even though twst mc is a nrc student and they spend most of their time there, i imagine seth visiting other schools quite often (it also would explain why he has lesson chats with rsa ocs as well) and he doesn't see himself as a nrc student, he even says that he will decide which school he will go to as he learns more about this world (seth wants to stay in twisted wonderland after all and it would be more safe for him). he also doesn't care about how far from nrc those schools are and how much time it takes for him to get there, sometimes he gets too tired of nrc students and atmosphere, haha. and he wears other uniforms when he goes to rsa and nbc!

he got the rsa uniform as a gift from rsa students for helping out with their halloween costumes and he also got these cute pins from rsa dorm leaders: a teacup for speculum, a lion for ujasiri, a seashell for enaskota, a magic carpet for tigrabah, an apple for wisbene, a cloud for viules and a half-blue and half-pink rose for spheara (once again, i used aurora's dorm names!) rsa dorm leaders think of seth as a rsa student even though he always has to go back to nrc, so they wanted him to feel accepted and welcomed here. hehe, maybe he will transfer to their school if they treat him as kindly as they can..

he got the nbc uniform as a gift from rollo because he thought that seth would find it useful since he visits the city of flowers and nbc so often now. he probably doesn't feel so comfortable wearing the nrc uniform when he's here.. seth was VERY happy when he got it, but he asked rollo if he could make some changes, because this uniform is a bit too "serious" for him. rollo allowed him to do that, even though he was afraid that he's going to regret it later.. but thankfully, the result wasn't so bad and rollo himself liked it quite a lot.

as for his nrc uniform, he already was in it when he first got here, however, he hated the fact that the ramshackle dorm doesn't have its own uniform and he tried to make his school uniform at least a little bit cuter. he's also still trying to come up with the ramshackle dorm uniform design.

#also all of his uniforms are supposed to look similar to rapunzel's outfits! #and i just realized that his shoes don't look that unique heredjkdkd sorry i'm not good at drawing shoes and designing them #and no he refuses to button his shirt properly. and no he will never wear a tie. HE HAS HIS REASONS OKAY #he actually does have a reason and he just finds it very hard to breathe when he tries to button his shirt and/or wear a tie #it's also a reference to him always feeling 'not free enough' and rebelling whenever someone tells him not to do anything- #lina draws ocs #the isolated prince: seth

[orcelito]

Like I'm trying to not be openly pathetic on main but what do you know that translates to me barely being online the past week

Who'd have thought

#speculation nation #at least when my girlfriend was here i was offline for very good gay reasons #aka. spending time with her lol #but since then ive just been working every day and becoming more and more exhausted #and dreading the approaching date. i already almost cried today at the mention of an orange cat. #not even My orange cat. just. orange cat. #and cassy is so similar to him in ways that fucking Hurt. purposefully so. i wanted an affectionate cat. #but in some ways he really does feel like a nearly direct replacement. all things considered. #i accidentally wore the same outfit to pick cassy up that i wore on the day sammy died. realizing that was like a punch in the chest. #'but fanny it's just a cat. why is the anniversary fucking you up so bad?' #i grew up with him. that cat was my Brother. my companion. my familiar. #and no cat will ever be able to replace what he was to me. Never. #animal death/ #bc yea yea im the poor fuckin sod whose longtime cat died almost a year ago. i hate how much my brain focuses on dates. #negative/
