no but genuinely I lose a little more patience for people who won't wear wool, leather, silk, or fur every day that I live in a world where plastic is increasingly the only damn kind of clothing you can find (or the only kind of fabric for sewing, even)
obviously, animal cruelty is horrible. I believe that even industries that rely on the deaths of animals should make their lives as good and their ends as humane as possible. and many of these industries need tighter environmental regulations on their production practices- some of the chemicals involved are highly toxic and ill-controlled at times
but at some point, you have to wake up to the fact that the only alternative we've found to date is destroying our planet
it's all plastic. and plastic is horrible for the world- the environment, humans, and especially animals. how cruelty-free is it to cause mass habitat loss? or climate change that disrupts food sources for those animals on a vast scale? how is that better than the deaths of a relatively small proportion of animals comparatively?
(and don't even start with "but pineapple leather! but cactus leather!" when those are still basically plastic due to heavy plastics use in their production processes. there is currently no non-plastic alternative to most animal-based textile products)
I've always tried to keep in mind that we all have to decide where our line is, that we all consume and there's no way of living in this world that doesn't take something from it. that for me, plastic clothing is to be avoided as much as possible, and for others, animal clothing products are to be avoided as much as possible. that the choice is equally valid
but I'm having a hard time seeing it as valid anymore when it just feels like trying to push the unpleasant part away from yourself so you can pretend your choice has no negative impacts. you're not wearing animal skin (or wool that an animal didn't even die to produce), so surely your way of doing things is better! no animals were harmed in the making of your outfit!
except. they were.
they and all the rest of us.

Vincent Price coloring in a coloring book with his little girl, Victoria circa 1965
Also, there's the cutest story that Victoria mentioned in an interview recently about her losing her first tooth.
Vincent, his wife Mary, and their daughter, Victoria had to go on a trip to New York, just as Victoria was about to lose her first tooth. She really wanted the tooth fairy to leave her a nickel under her pillow, so she was worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't know that she's in new York. Her father assured her that the tooth fairy always knows where she will be, and told her not to worry.
So there they were, in NY, in a hotel, and sure enough, she lost her first tooth. They put it under the pillow and she went to sleep. When she awoke the next morning, she was so excited to find a shiny new nickel under her pillow from the tooth fairy. She didn't find a nickel. Instead, she found a pair of old, decrepit dentures. Vincent found them at some point, cleaned them, and took them WITH him to NY just in case she lost her tooth, and the reason why is because he said that if she only found a nickel, she wouldn't remember losing her first tooth.

is it possible to explain some of your OC outfits? canon i mean; like, say someone wanted to wear something your OC was wearing or cosplay them, but didnt know what to look up! how would you describe them, mainly mikita and beatrycze, but you can do as many or as little as youd like (sorry for the english..)
hmmm well you are in luck, as i already had made a Mikita reference for my friends cosplay. Well either way i dont really understand what you mean by "explaining"; Mika is wearing a nightgown additionaly tied at the waist (a diy as its too loose and too long for his liking) with some comfortable pants underneath. Hes wearing socks not stockings. second picture taken from here

and when it comes to Trycz i usually just base her clothes on real dresses from the middle 1890 period. I really like the big sleeves. I dont intend to keep my ocs and their outfits very historically accurate so i take some creative liberties, usually just keeping the expected silhouette, like shown on the second picture. Thrid one is a fashion plate from 1895; i tend to use fashion plates and other magazine drawings the most out of all the references. theyre the most fun. speaking on fun i forgot how fun Trycz is to draw

Doropetra journalist x fashion designer modern AU!!! I really liked this post by @stergeon and had visions for visualizations of this fun story idea. I tried my hand at drawing out some scenes!!!
These are just quick, vignette-type ideas that I had to sketch out. These are also mixed in with me finding excuses to draw the girls in stylish outfits and an outlet for dumping my knowledge and experience in the fashion world hehe
My comic and sequencing skills are not the best, but I hope you find these fashion gals to be so sillyful!

Peter isn't really an animal person.
or, me drawing the boys with their cat equivalents.
Peter gets to be a black cat because 1) bad luck 2) dark hair 3) Felicia would think it's funny.
Kaine's cat here is, of course, a male tortoiseshell. Actually it's supposed to be a torbie but i was too lazy to put tabby marks on all of them (not that it would be visible on Peter's cat…)
Also I was gonna give Ben and Peter the same kind of cat but then I thought it would be cute to make Ben's cat equivalent an orange tabby instead…. so I did both lol but made the black version sun-rusted on account of his sun-kissed tan 😂

Yeah, thrifting is fun but no one ever talks about the wave of sadness you feel everytime you find a personalized/special thing, realize you're holding an important part of someone's life and wonder how something so special ended up on a rack in Goodwill for $8
