Day 106

He he here are some fun pen doddles of the boys in a more retro style inspired by 60s-80s manga. :3c I just love playing around with different art styles.

[dumpy-dump]

ya think there's any particular reason the devs made most of the splatoon 3 salmon run gear movie references?

bc like, in 2 it was mostly work attire, which makes sense for grizzco but in 3?

we got back to the future:

star wars:

tron (obv):

the goonies?!?

dont get me wrong i love the splatoon 3 sr gear but im very curious as to why they chose these. were they just in the mood for some 80s nostalgia again like w/ octo expansion or is there any other potential significance to any of this?

‣ most of your jokes consist of poking fun at your age difference.

‣ seriously. gen x vs. gen y is strong with this one.

‣ prime example: you give him shit about his car still having a cassette player.

‣ “get with the times, grandpa.”

‣ “fuck off. it’s retro.”

‣ “you’re retro, old man.”

‣ thinks the fact you still watch cartoons is endearing.

‣ but, “what the fuck is adventure time?”

‣ will “back in my day” you until you roll your eyes and scoff, shutting him up with a kiss.

‣ has your back despite how often you call him old.

‣ like you’re not getting up there yourself—your aching back and knees!

‣ goes out of his way to bring you little trinkets and snacks when he goes on missions in other countries.

‣ it eats him up that he can’t divulge the secrets of his profession.

‣ never wants to hide anything from you; you make him want to give you the world.

‣ but he knows he has to keep some secrets to protect you.

‣ you love him nonetheless.

‣ tug on his little heartstrings when you fall asleep on the phone with him.

‣ or when he catches you between sleep and consciousness on the couch when he’s had another late night around the office.

‣ secretly loves whisking you off to bed like some knight in shining armor.

‣ ridiculously gentle despite his imposing figure and calloused hands.

‣ sometimes riddled with those intrusive thoughts of choking you because he knows he could crush you with how small you are compared to him.

‣ not like you’d complain—sometimes, you ask him to lose a little control.

‣ and that scares him shitless because, who made you like this?

‣ despite how badly he wants to show you how much he’s missed you, he lets you sleep.

‣ holds you tight while you sink below the depths of unconsciousness.

‣ because sometimes, letting you go feels like you’ll disappear in a plume of smoke.

‣ but when you awaken before the sun…

‣ oh, it’s on.

‣ because you think you’re so slick, rutting your little ass against him in the wee hours of the morning.

‣ challenge: accepted.

‣ knows what his voice does to you. how the low rumble of it makes you clench and stutter.

‣ and when you rub your thighs together to ward off that fuzzy rush of endorphins between them…

‣ fuck.

‣ “did somebody miss me?” he croons, his stubble coarse in the junction of your shoulder as he litters your neck with kisses and holds your chin in his massive hand.

‣ loves to tease you into submission.

‣ will touch and suckle everywhere except where you want him the most.

‣ and he will do this for hours until you growl for him to “stop being a little shit.”

‣ “thought you were sleepin’, baby.”

‣ plays with your pretty nipples until they’re pebbled and straining against your clothes.

‣ flitters his tongue over them, groaning because you taste and feel so goddamn good.

‣ spreads you open like a flower with long, languid strokes of his fingers.

‣ and the sticky glide of your cunt against his fingertips makes his dick jump.

‣ “makin’ a mess for me already, love? so fuckin’ cute, aren’t you?”

‣ alternates between circling your clit and testing the barrier of your sticky, slutty little pussy hole depending on how your body responds to him.

‣ because when you undulate your hips against him in response, he soaks his joggers with pre-spend.

‣ will make you cum at least thrice on his hand.

‣ and will keep fucking you through your orgasms because, who told you to feel this good?

‣ until you beg him for something more filling.

‣ can give you a solid two rounds in pound-town.

‣ he’s not as young as he used to be, god dammit. cut ‘em some slack.

‣ apologetic if he cums before you, though he makes it his mission to ensure you get yours first.

‣ but will finish you off with his mouth if you so please.

‣ eating you out is his favorite pastime. he gets hard all over again just from being between your legs.

‣ will twine your fingers together and maintain some semblance of eye contact while he unravels you with his mouth.

‣ and will groan into your cunt to let you know how appreciative he is for the meal.

‣ vocal af.

‣ will continue until your thighs clamp down on his face, signaling him to “s-stop. to-too much.”

‣ god forbid he’s in a teasing mood because you’ll have to punch him to get him to stop.

‣ but, you’re irresistible when you beg, and—

‣ fuck. he’s suddenly up for round 3.

‣ aftercare is immaculate.✨

‣ has a hard time keeping up with your energy sometimes.

‣ but will definitely heft you up with one hand as he walks you into the house to kiss you stupid against the wall of your entryway.

‣ will definitely dance on the table with you in his underwear.

‣ and indulges you in your childish requests—pillow fort? he’s down.

‣ content with just existing in your presence.

‣ you’re his vice; his kryptonite.

‣ and he’s hopelessly romantic for you.

‣ because you have him doing all the cliche shit. kissing in the rain. swinging hands on the beach, walking into the sunset. sporadically showing up at your job with flowers and takeout.

‣ grabbing your ass in public to let everyone know that yes, this old man’s hittin’ that.

‣ he’s head over heels for you.

‣ and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

‣ because you make him feel something he thought himself dead to for years.

Asking here because I get notified if you reply: why rockettes? Beside the obvious cool factor and the vague notion that euhumanists can't just do things normally and have to have an extra layer of complexity, is there like a... practical advantage to having a gun that shoots rockets vs one that shoots bullets? They don't seem guided or explosive, and without fins would they be more accurate or reach longer distances than a single-impulse munition?

My rationale for this is both aesthetic (retro-futurism) and internal world logic.

First, the internal logic of the world.

The Euhumanists have spent centuries, presumably, using beam weapons for small arms (like star trek). If they were stuck without reliable beam weapons (because of limited power sources, manufacturing capabilities, etc, like in "the grand tour"), and were developing their industrial capacities from a very limited base, circumstances would possibly force them to essentially re-invent the gun.

Given their own history as space-faring people, I was thinking that the rocket would probably be their most direct reference for a combustion-driven kinetic device - so having them develop an awkward micro-rocket, instead of first developing muskets or cartridge ammunition, felt suitably unique, clunky and weird for the world.

Also, in researching "caseless" ammunition of this type, like russian VOG launched grenades, the gyrojet, the italian 9mm AUPO round, and, the granddaddy of them all, the 1800s ROCKET BALL (see below image), it was interesting seeing all the other methods of containing projectile and gunpowder in one discrete unit.

The rocket ball came about in 1848 and was my biggest inspo for this, but the utterly magical and deranged GYROJET missile-bullet was up there too. If you search youtube for gyrojet firing footage, its completely fascinating!

This is all to say, though, that aesthetics and the idea of this colony fumbling their way into firearms came first. This style of ammo doesnt have much in the way of practical advantages over modern cartridges, but modern cartridges also just felt WAY too anachronistic to throw into this setting. But it has been a very fun research rabbit hole for me to clamber down!

Love Language Astro Observations | Retro Edition

What it says on the tin. Full moon is a good time for shadow work and breaking blockages but sometimes these can be due to communication clash, not due to either of the parties involved.

🎬 Those with venus 4th house placements can struggle with modern dating culture, finding it too fast and not romantic enough

🎬 Scorpio can secretly be a hopeless romantic but struggle to show it through words and so may be prone to grandious displays of material affection

🎬 Neptune placements can determine how much you need to get to know a partner before taking things further. Neptune in a water sign indicates you may find yourself in bohemian relationships that involve the arts

🎬 Taurus may struggle with modern partying and hookup culture for a different reason. They may feel their life is not classy or sophisticated enough and struggle to find a partner who gets their appreciation of material luxury without judgement

🎬 Uranus placements affect entire generations but depending on natal uranus aspects you may feel like you were born in the wrong era and find your love language is out of sync with the rest of your generation

🎬 Venus in any significant aspect to natal uranus may particularly struggle with tradition vs rebellion in terms of love language, unable to decide what kind of relationship they want as a result

🎬 Pluto placements can determine how your body language works as well as how you may lie to yourself about your feelings for someone

🎬 Pluto in the 5th house may indicate you show attraction through body language as opposed to words which can make it hard for partners to pick up on your emotions

🎬 ANY of the outer planets in the third house may indicate an offbeat communication style in general, NOT just love languages. This can make it hard to get involved in conventional dating culture

🎬 Venus placements in capricorn, taurus, libra, or cancer may find it particularly hard to communicate in the modern dating scene and find themselves drawn to alternative subcultures, or aesthetics such as cottagecore, vintage aesthetics, or old hollywood

🎬 Jupiter in virgo may enjoy formalised dating the most out of any placement and may enjoy going out on a traditional dinner date

🎬 Pluto in any earth sign is especially prone to flirting and teasing through material gifts and may long to be surprised with presents, physical affection, or a conventional date. There is a strong unconscious memory of maybe past lives or prior eras here which can translate to feeling strange in the modern world when surrounding practical actions in relationships

There's this weird idea I see floating around in spaces talking about dog breeds and dog breeding that brachycephalic dogs (pugs, frenchies, bulldogs, etc) only took on their modern extreme brachycephalic form in the mid 20th century and people want to "go back to what pugs looked like in the 19th century" People often forget we don't have a lot of records from back then of examples of poor dog breeding, hell a lot of the photos and paintings I see of "what pugs used to look like" from the 1800s look like mix breeds. Even the wikipedia on pugs seems to fall into this idea that these dogs only became brachycephalic sometime in the mid century

and sure there's varying degrees of brach between even modern day pugs, i'm not gonna assume that every dog depicted with a longer snout before 1950 isn't a "real pug" and I'm sure some pugs did have longer snouts back then! And I'm sure a lot of changes in breeding happened in the 19th century due to standardization. But fuck man some of this seems like blatant misinformation.

so if the previous pug was the average looking pug in 1927, then what the hell are these freaks of nature? They don't look all that different from a modern pug.

A lot of the depictions of extremely brachycephalic dogs began around the early 1800s, the same time people are claiming that these dogs were better bred and we should go back to their routes. I just wish it was easier to research the history of these breeds without some clickbaity BEFORE VS NOW article page and that theres heros out there breeding "1800s retro pugs"

I agree extremely brachycephalic dogs are not healthy a lot of them have breathing issues, but honestly I feel like we're taking the wrong approach? I'm no dog breeder but I've heard a lot of these retro pugs are poorly bred. I feel like we shouldn't be basing our dog breeding efforts on a drawing someone did 200 years ago but breed for healthier traits we can see in modern day dogs. (as a side note as well, drawings aren't 100% accurate. You can make out a lot in paintings and illustrations of what things might've looked like but we still need to take the things we see depicted with a grain of salt)

Happy 200th birthday Megalosaurus! Megalosaurus is an extinct genus of theropod dinosaur which lived throughout what is now Europe during the middle Jurassic period some 174 to 163 mya. Although it now only exists in drawings what is thought to be the first fragment of Megalosaurus consisting of a partial femur was discovered in‭ ‬1676 from a limestone quarry in Oxfordshire by professor Robert Plot,‭ ‬who due to the unprecedented nature of the find,‭ ‬declared it to belong to a biblical giant. In‭ ‬1763‭ ‬the bone was given the name‭ '‬Scrotum humanum‭' ‬by Richard Brookes,‭ ‬due to the rather crass yet accurate appearance of the end of the bone to a human scrotum.‭ ‬This name/description was never formerly accepted by any scientific body, but did prompt Rev.‭ ‬William Buckland to begin amassing various other remains from that same Oxfordshire quarry including a piece of a right lower jaw, a thigh bone, ribs, some pelvises, a foot bone, and several vertebrae. After years of study Buckland realized that these specimens all belonged to the same species of giant reptile which he named Megalosaurus meaning great lizard on February 20th 1824. Megalosaurus was 1 of 3 genera which Richard Owen used to found the Clade Dinosaur, marking Megalosaurus as the first non avian dinosaur to be formally described. Over the following centuries over 50 species would be classified as Megalosaurus however nearly all have been determined to belong to other taxa, leaving only the original Megalosaurus bucklandi as valid. Reaching around 20ft in length and 1,500lbs in weight megalosaurus was amongst mid-Jurassic Europe’s largest predators. It had a long tail, strong stout legs, a robust body, short yet muscular arms, and large head, equipped with long curved teeth. In life Megalosaurus would have inhabited tropical forests, wetlands, and coastlines feeding upon fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles, and other dinosaurs in the island chain that at the time constituted Europe.

Here just some more or less random pictures of my retro stuff, hope you like them, cause they‘re one of my favorites.

🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️🎞️

They were shot with different Cameras and on different types of film, so I won‘t mansion it for every ingle picture, but most of the B/W where shot with my 1964 Voigtländer Vito CLR on ISO 400 film and the the two color ones were from a Kodak Gold ISO 200 film, shot with the AE1.

So let‘s get into it…

To start with some little arrangements that actually are just without any order, like there‘s no sense in it. But I really like the one in the train!

The next few ones are more under the topic of modern vs. old, I think it‘s pretty obvious 😅.

And last but not least some 60‘s vs 80‘s 😁!

Grunge Glamour: Your Guide to Indie Sleaze Fashion Staples

Hey babe! 🌸 Ready to dive into the world of grunge glamour? We’re talking about the fashion staples that defined the indie sleaze era—skinny jeans, band tees, vintage leather jackets, and all the effortlessly cool vibes that come with them. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the look or just getting into it, I’ve got all the tips and tricks you need to rock that indie sleaze style like the icon you are. So grab your shopping list, put on your favorite playlist, and let’s get into it! 🎧✨

Grunge Glamour: The Essentials of Indie Sleaze Style 🌟

If you were around during the mid-2000s, you know that the indie sleaze era was all about a perfect mix of grunge and glamour. It was messy, it was edgy, and it was oh-so-stylish. The key to nailing this look is all about balancing those rough-around-the-edges vibes with just the right amount of chic. Think Kate Moss meets Karen O with a little bit of early 2000s Alexa Chung thrown in for good measure.

Ready to recreate that effortlessly cool, don’t-care-but-still-look-amazing vibe? Let’s break down the must-have pieces that every indie sleaze lover needs in their wardrobe.

1. Skinny Jeans: The Ultimate Indie Sleaze Staple 👖

Skinny jeans were the thing back in the day, and for good reason. They’re versatile, flattering, and the perfect base for any grunge-inspired outfit. Whether you’re going for a classic black pair or something a bit more distressed, skinny jeans are an absolute must in your indie sleaze wardrobe.

Classic Black Skinnies: You can never go wrong with a pair of classic black skinny jeans. They go with everything and can easily be dressed up or down. Pair them with a band tee and a leather jacket for a quintessential indie look, or throw on a blazer and some ankle boots for a night out.

Distressed Denim: If you’re looking to add some edge to your outfit, distressed skinny jeans are the way to go. The more rips and tears, the better! These jeans add a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll to your look and are perfect for those days when you want to channel your inner rockstar.

High-Waisted Styles: For a more modern take on the indie sleaze look, go for high-waisted skinny jeans. They’re super flattering and give off that cool, retro vibe. Tuck in your favorite band tee, throw on a belt, and you’re good to go.

Shopping Tip: When shopping for skinny jeans, make sure they have a bit of stretch so they’re comfortable enough to wear all day (and night!). Don’t be afraid to hit up thrift stores for some amazing vintage finds or look for brands known for their quality denim.

2. Band Tees: Show Your Love for Music 🎤

No indie sleaze wardrobe is complete without a collection of band tees. These aren’t just shirts; they’re statements. Wearing a band tee is all about showing off your love for music, whether it’s an indie darling or a rock legend.

Vintage Finds: There’s something so special about a vintage band tee that’s been worn and loved over the years. It’s like wearing a piece of music history. Scour thrift stores, flea markets, and online vintage shops for tees that have that perfectly worn-in feel.

DIY and Customized Tees: Can’t find the exact band tee you’re looking for? Get creative! DIY your own by cutting, distressing, or tie-dyeing a plain tee. You can even add patches, pins, or screen print your favorite band’s logo onto a plain shirt for a custom look.

Oversized vs. Fitted: Both oversized and fitted band tees have their place in the indie sleaze aesthetic. An oversized tee with skinny jeans gives off that effortlessly cool, borrowed-from-your-boyfriend vibe, while a fitted tee tucked into high-waisted jeans is more polished but still edgy.

Shopping Tip: When hunting for band tees, don’t just stick to the women’s section—check out the men’s section for oversized fits or hit up the kids’ section for cropped tees. And remember, the more worn-in, the better!

3. Vintage Leather Jackets: The Cool Girl’s Armor 🧥

A vintage leather jacket is the ultimate indie sleaze statement piece. It’s tough, it’s timeless, and it instantly adds that rockstar edge to any outfit. Whether you’re throwing it on over a dress or pairing it with jeans and a tee, a leather jacket is a wardrobe essential.

Classic Black Leather: A black leather jacket is a no-brainer. It’s versatile and goes with literally everything. Look for one with a slightly oversized fit, so you can layer it over chunky sweaters in the winter or just a tee in the summer.

Distressed and Worn-In: The best leather jackets are the ones that have seen some life. Look for jackets that have a bit of wear and tear—scuffs, scratches, and even a little fading give the jacket character and make it feel lived-in.

Moto Style: If you want to add some extra edge to your look, go for a moto-style leather jacket with zippers, studs, and all the bells and whistles. It’s a bit more daring but oh-so-cool.

Shopping Tip: Vintage stores are your best bet for finding a quality leather jacket that won’t break the bank. If you’re buying new, invest in a piece that will last you for years to come—real leather only gets better with age!

4. Mixing and Matching: The Indie Sleaze Way 🎨

The magic of indie sleaze style is all about mixing and matching. Don’t be afraid to pair something ultra-glam with something super grungy—like a sequined top with ripped jeans or a floral dress with combat boots. The key is to look like you just threw it all together but somehow ended up looking amazing.

Accessories: Add some personality to your look with accessories like beanies, oversized sunglasses, and chunky jewelry. Don’t forget a scarf for that effortlessly chic touch.

Layers, Layers, Layers: Layering is your best friend when it comes to indie sleaze. Think flannels over tees, jackets over dresses, and scarves over everything. It’s all about creating a look that feels a little messy but totally put together.

Shopping Tip: When mixing and matching, think outside the box! Pair unexpected items together and see what works. Indie sleaze is all about breaking the fashion rules, so have fun with it!

Final Thoughts, Gorgeous: Embrace Your Inner Indie Sleaze Queen 🌟

There you have it, babe—your ultimate guide to rocking grunge glamour like a true indie sleaze icon. With the right mix of skinny jeans, band tees, and vintage leather jackets, you’ll be turning heads wherever you go. Remember, this style is all about confidence, attitude, and a little bit of chaos. So go ahead, mix, match, and create outfits that make you feel like the rockstar you are.
