[softness-and-shattering]

Had another realisation re my frustration with the (cheap, functional) mens clothing currently available to me.

Because Ive been watching a semi trend of youtubers hiring stylists to style the clothes they already own - so far that Ive seen its all woman stylists styling women, to the point that I wonder if any guys have signed up for these services and if the stylists like, know how to handle that, but I digress - and a phrase I keep hearing from these youtubers is "wow, Ive had these items forever and I would never have thought to put them together". And my thought is always "huh, really?". I used to stand in front of my closet + mirror and just throw things together in all kinds of combinations to see what worked. I didnt always have a lot of clothing, but what I did have was usually tops and skirts, plus belts and jewellery, so there were always options. I remember one time wearing what I thought of as a plain boring weekend shirt underneath a more structured jacket to a family wedding because nothing else was clean, and I was complimented for my outfit. Like wow you really can elevate a boring tee that I didnt even like tha6 much, into something appropriate for an afternoon wedding.

(There was this other outfit I loved with very sparkly cheap jewellery that I wore to a different wedding, walked up to talk to someone and the woman talking to her said "and who is this gorgeous creature?". Weird mix of that hollow feeling of being objectified + feeling hot and beautiful + loving the outfit I had put together. Like a squirmy not knowing if this is pleasurable or uncomfortable, both very confident feeling myself and unsure. And I always have to wonder now how much dysphoria was tinging things. This is when i was like 15ish I think?)

Three tangents later lol, I cast my mind to my own wardrobe. And of the clothes that fit well enough and are comfortable enough to wear - some of which I wouldnt wear if I had better options, and Im just intimidated to adjust denim that is technically wearable bc I dont really know how to take in tje waist? - theyre all the same cut. Sliightly different fabrics and some different basic prints but thats it. My shorts are all same length same fit. My shirts are all tees in a couple basic colours, a couple have boring inoffensive prints, same cut same fit.

Nothing has any distinguishing features. Different sleeves, necklines, ruffles, pleats, trim, crossovers like wrap shirts. Theres nothing to make anything particularly go or not go or do anything interestong at all with any other garment.

I have a tiny bit more variety when it comes to longer trousers but then my shirts are all tees so. One or another doesnt make much difference.

And part of it is that Im waiting till Ive had top surgery to properly invest in clothing. Its taking time to organise, but I dont want to spend a lot and then only get a years wear or less out of something, so Im sticking to cheap and boring for now. And that definitely does effect fit.

But/and its also sensory sensitivity. I used to wesr button-downs more but they had to be so oversized, and eventually Id put one on and half an hour later it was driving me nuts and I had to take it off. I love the idea of layering but I practically never do, even when its cold. I just sort of forget its an option.

I dont really know where that leaves me, other than bored. I can add things to my shirts but Im a bit terrified Ill waste what I have and not create anything I actually want to wear. I mean I also dont have much of a fabric stash to speak of so my on-hand options of jazzing things up are quite limited. I try to only buy supplies with specific projects in mind, both for financial reasons and lack of much storage space. But that leaves me without much to work with.

I wish I knew what I wanted, and how to make that in a way that was very comfortable to wear, and also able to be styled cohesively together that Ill want and be brave enough to wear when its done. And its the kind of thing you can only learn by doing. And doing means using supplies, money, resources and those arent plentiful to me.

But yeah I guess todays realisation is that I need more interesting clothes to hsve stuff to style with. Shorts + tee is technically a style, its perfectly acceptable and some days I just need clothes to acceptably cover my body. On days I want to play with style and feel a bit flashy or just better put together, I need some interesting pieces to work with.

*also like, thinking about derek guy ie the menswesr twitter guy, he seems to talk about cloyhes going together thematically, like if yourr wearing workwear style, say jeans and flannel, you gotta wear the matching shoes of eg boots, if you wear a dress shoe youre gonna look badly put together. But the cohesive styles always seem to be like, particular designer brands and cloth from wool from sheep in this particular place and while I totally understand that as like a stylistic integrity thing, I need to work out how to look cohesive without a big budget for designer items. Its harder to mix and match that way unless you stick to one type of style, and I like a lot of styles, though I guess Im already doing that with my "cheap and easy" current vibe so why not extend that to one more style at a time? Maybe?

So reminder to everyone for the Bean Au Moon has always been New Moon. Which due to all the Nexus things puts more light on his Identity issues on being compared to Moon (fascinating too, i saw many people talk about that WAYYY before dark sun). Anyway recent comic where we do get KC squinting very hard about this Moon's growing issues about Old Moon. And we know me. Immediate father figure KC sitting there like 'Oh not another one'. A small tidbit of a thought cause I don't know what I'll do with this yet, similar with Earth and KC's comic. Conceptual but its there. Me remembering canon and going 'hmnnn i know its written as it goes but would've been interesting for THEM to have a talk.'

Does Mr. Turner like rubbing his “son’s” successful career in Dinkleberg’s face??

He does! He brags about Timmy's success to every person within the neighborhood's vicinity. Mr. Turner loves how successful his son is! It really secures his reputation at the neighborhood HOA meetings they host at their house.

Timmy's worked very hard to gain more successes than failures. The more successful he is, the greater his family's social standing!! And the less he gets to overhear his dad ranting to the neighborhood about his failures.

my take on silver in sonic boom! of course, sticks would accuse him of being an alien. or a government agent. or a robot. or all three.

design changes include fingerless gloves, laced up platforms, long socks and gloves, and boom's signature sports tape being used as a bandage over a wound from the ruined future.

HEHAHBFKI More South Park doodles I think I’m going insane.

Actually this is kind of the product of me being liking South Park way back in high school but was too embarrassed to draw them when I was bored in class and now it’s all kinda flooding back 💀

Read below if you want to know more about my New Kid and my thoughts behind some of the doodles cause this turned out longer then I though 💀

Anyways- introducing my New Kid. No name cause I literally have no idea. Whatever the cannon name is ig- though I’d think it’d be funny if she was referred to New Kid by literally everyone like in game. I like the idea that a lot of people have with their New Kids that they liked the makeover section with the girls during the Stick of Truth a little too much. I also like it cause… uh… I didn’t play Stick of Truth. (The combat system is not my cup of tea) So it’s not until the start of TFBW does she know shes really a girl.

To give context to the top right drawing- I couldn’t remember the dialogue Wendy says in the alleyway if you say you’re a trans girl- but I do know what she says if your a cis girl (I always knew you were a girl) cause I did a second play through as a cis girl. And I don’t know if there’s supposed to be a huge time jump between the end of Stick of Truth and TFBW but I think it would be funny if it was just the next day- so combine these two fact to get “Wendy always clocked New Kid as a girl but NK just found out yesterday 💀”

Anyways- she’s such a cutie, I love her and her cool superhero outfit I gave her. Outside of the game- I’d like to think of her basically exactly how she acts in game. Mostly non-verbal, with the occasional zingy one liner, and just kinda goes along with the crazy shit the happens in South Park un phased. Like if she was in a episode- the plot would happen and she would be on screen, but wouldn’t say anything, and anytime another character would address her, they’d respond however as if she spoke lmao. Aroace, just like me, so she’s just friends with everyone (except Cartman) and vibes with everyone.

The mini Style comic I though of cause 1) I wondered if Kyle had the same elf ears as the other elfs did in game (again, never played and it’s been a while since I saw gameplay so whoops if it’s confirmed or whatever) and 2) I thought it would be funny if Stan was caught lacking and tried to /rp his way out of it (I wanted to add an extra bit where Kyle would be like “Oh, are our characters gay for each other??? (ARE YOU /SRS OR /J STAN)” and Stan would have to just “yes, and” his way out.)

The last three images were kinda of a stream of consciousness put on paper and made neat lol. I really like showing that all the costumes the kids wear are homemade and stuff- either stuff taken from their parents or visibly taped together etc- cause I think it’s charming. Anyways- I though Kyle’s little robe could be like one of his parents bath robe- and it would be a little too long for him to run without eating shit so he’d have to hike it up like a skirt/dress. Which lead to me thinking that Cartman would say some shit about that and how Kyle, who has a literal Golf Club, would smack his ass up. Which then lead to me thinking about how since Kyle’s the Elf King and Stan’s basically his right hand how he might lift it up wedding dress style if needed (/RP GUYS, RIGHT?RIGHT???) and how Cartman would react, which lead to that one JoJo meme cause thats literally how they’d retaliate.

Always- I’ll probably have at least one more post about South Park I swear. There was a period of time before I stopped watching (I gotta pick it up again) where I would doodle a bit of whatever was happening in the episode, each episode. Crazy I know, but not only did it improve my drawing skills but it helped me remember what actually happened in episodes cause I have shit memory and definitely don’t remember some of the episodes I watched. So I might redraw some of those- see if anyone can tell what episode they’re from.

Lord imagine Irep taunting Peri in the early stages of him being captured. As much as I love this ship I also love the bitter enemies.

I got carried away with this one. Angst below my friends. Angst below.

Irep doing and saying anything to make Peri as miserable as possible in his final moments. Dev in tow.

Just to stop coming all together when he realises Peri is too far gone for it to even hurt him anymore. Dev suggesting they go back to rub it in Peris face somemore only to be met with a bored look and a “no point his mind is to far gone for it to really hurt him now.” Or something

Irep just bored of it. While Peris only time seeing anyone else was when Irep and Dev came by. He is just alone now. Nothing to distract him from the fact hes going to die alone in a cage. Maybe he was trying to keep it together cause Dev was present. But now fully alone, knowing himself that hes probably not even worth it to Irep. Knowing that must mean hes close to dying. Maybe he wished the pain was more blinding. More mind numbing so he couldn’t think like Irep probably thought. Maybe he doesn’t want to think about how hes never gonna see his family again.

Maybe Dev can sneak a peak at this state of complete misery? Maybe Peri having a little sob begging for it to be over. Just a nice quite little moment of loosing all hope? Curled up in on himself in the middle of the floor where Irep last tossed him about. Quietly begging for someone to come back. To not be all alone. Even if he gets hurt some more. Even if they taunt him. To just not be alone.

I wonder how a 10 year old would react to that. Probably trying to be bitter. Sneaking away again. Finding his dad. Telling himself that it’s the only way to get his dad to love him. Constantly repeating in his mind that it’s Peris fault for failing him. For his rules. Knowing deep down. In is heart that isnt true but theres nothing he can do.
