I hate "it's not trying to be accurate!" arguments for historical fiction or historically-inspired fantasy clothing choices that just. don't make sense logistically

why is that girl in Br*dgerton tightlacing her stays? what is she reducing- her upper ribcage? not only can you not tightlace in those (hand-bound eyelets can't usually take that strain, in my experience), but there's no reason to because your waistline is under your boobs. and unlike most of the series, they actually commit to the empire waistline for the court presentation gowns. small waists don't matter when NOBODY IS SEEING YOUR WAIST

why no chemise, in so many productions? fantasy/lack of concern for accuracy can't make things not chafe. chafing is not a matter of accuracy; it's a physical reality. did a wizard give everybody in the kingdom Anti-Chafing Spells?

just because you don't WANT a linen underlayer beneath a medieval tunic doesn't mean sweat won't get to outer garments and damage them- or make them need laundering, which weakens the fibers -at a time when all clothing is handmade, custom-fitted, and created from hand-woven fabrics and thus a HUGE investment

you're not just throwing accuracy to the winds as a design choice; you're ignoring How Textiles And Bodies And the Realities of Your Technology Level's Fabric and Laundering Capabilities Work

i can't believe we got gay rights (charlie and vaggie kiss, huskerdust flirting) and gay wrongs (vox and valentino dancing and shoving their tongues down each other's throats) in the same episode

Half of Nik's crew are women.

This says some important things about his character, I think. These are strong, able, intelligent women. They wouldn't put up with bullshit; they have chosen to work for Nik for a reason. He's dangerous, brilliant, truly fuckin' terrifying, but he's genuine and respectful.

Sure, he knows how to remove a man's heart through his arsehole while they're still alive, but he also stocks sanitary products in his Heli, ensures dignity and respect at all times but without it being overbearing and chivalrous "because they're women". He treats and pays them as equals. He's a boss with high expectations of them and himself.

I dunno. It's just... when a man like Nikolai, moving in the circles he does, chooses these soldiers and earns their respect (because they could work for anyone)? It's important.

Buck is the kind of guy to get turned into an animal. Any animal really but especially one with big wet eyes and general pathetic demeanor

jj is 100% a dog person. he was laying in the hammock outside the chateau one day, beer in his hand and his hat resting low on his face, covering his eyes as he was enjoying the calm weather that had come the day after a pretty nasty storm hit the island when he heard movement nearby, causing him to sit up and pull his hat back up properly on his head.

“hey who-“ he called out, looking towards the direction of the sound, expecting human company, but was met with a timid looking dog slowly making its way towards him.

“ohhh, hey… hey little guy. c’mere, it’s okay.” he stood up slowly, his voice soft as he gently kneeled down to the dogs level as it fully approached him. the dog was apprehensive but eventually stopped once it was stood in front of jj, the two at eye level now.

“what happened to you, huh? where’s your owner?” he looked over the dog, which he now knew to be a boy, eyes scanning his neck as he searched for a collar, but there was none. he moved his head to fully inspect him, looking for any signs of injuries. the dog didn’t look injured though, just scared. he must have ran away or gotten loose during the storm somehow.

after a while, the dog realized he wasn’t in immediate danger around the tall man he had found, even letting jj pet his neck softly. so he followed jj inside when he ushered him in to get him a bowl of water and search for any kind of food that would be suitable for a dog.

he ended up finding a few slices of cheese and some deli meat, which he deemed good enough for the time being. the dog was quick to eat it all up and finish the bowl of water jj had gotten him, soft curious eyes full of gratitude and adoration looking up at the kind man who had just fed him.

“ahh fuck, what am i gonna do with you?”

unfortunately i've gotten into the habit of referring to peter as "goober" in my mind. example: "goober needs to do this/goober feels this way about this." which is fine and dandy except for the fact that when I actually sit down to write a chapter, I accidentally write his name as goober. this happens often enough that it's a noticeable problem and usually i fix it on the first try but one of these days i fear i will miss it and it'll be posted and everyone will know his name is nickname to ME, his creator, his goober

a freshly human bill AU where he struggles with eating... not because the fear of medication or the texture or the act of eating is troubling... but because the taste is all wrong now.

Everything tastes off now, things he knows taste good aren't anymore, and it's all because the last time Bill had access to living taste buds was when he was inside Ford Pines, and Ford Pines is a freak who eats concerningly old expired food like starving raccoon and drinks coffee that can double as motor oil

the billford kicks in trying to find foods Bill actually likes idk not important, what is important is what is WRONG with Ford's palate

I was watching nickels exit interview and the interviewer called balloon nickels closest bud and I’m just imagining how absolutely snuffed baseball got 😭

[livingincolorsagain]

torn between buck and eddie lovingly and fondly saying each other’s names and loving it so much that they don’t even need pet names and believing that buck would call eddie princess and eddie would call buck bud/buddy and it being the most romantic thing in the world for them. and obviously they’re right

I hate Hasbro as much as the next gal but wotc has been pretty adamantly anti machine learning generated images, blacklisting artists for selling NFTs of their work and blacklisting that one artist who managed to slip a partially machine learning generated image past the art director before that was something an art director would pay attention to.

The layoffs are incredibly evil but you're not helping anyone by claiming wotc is pivoting towards "ai art" and by randomly accusing pretty normal job offers of being for someone who works with generated images or claiming that a pretty normal piece of art is machine learning generated

All this achieves is turning the very important anti machine learning generated image movement into a witchhunt

Matt: Um, Matthew Finnegan, question for NG. What are your thoughts on the first version of "Let There Be Love" you wrote, titled "It's a Crime"? Why the massive difference in lyrics between the two, and would you be interested in playing it live?

Noel: (long pause) I have no idea what he's going on about.

Matt: "Let There Be Love," you wrote an earlier version, he says, called "It's a Crime." and there's big differences of lyrics.

Noel: (long pause) That's fucking news to me.

Matt: OK, I don't know what Matthew Finnegan's talking about. I've tried. I've put it to the man. He don't know what the fuck it's all about.

Noel: Why—

Matt: —would you ever write a song called "It's a Crime" anyway?

Noel: I'd never put out a song called "It's a Crime." I might title something like that as a holding title, so...
