#and joe’s sweater is just so iconic

Apparently, Molly is low-key a major gay icon, and honestly, I get it. After all, Molly did *really* like her pretty teacher, Miss Campbell. If you think about it, it makes sense that lot of future lesbians would absolutely love Molly. Most dolls in the 90s were hyper-feminine princess dolls, and Molly was... not. I’d imagine the market for girls who want to play with dolls that aren’t pretty pink princesses is pretty large and the supply is pretty small. Just like there’s plenty of boys out there who want to play with something other than GI Joes. Molly (and AG in general) fits neatly into that market, which I’m sure is why she was so successful.

Last year, with its re-launch of the classic dolls, AG put a post on it’s instagram, “To all the Molly girls in the world, we see you and celebrate you,” which a lot of folks on Twitter took to see as confirmation that Molly was gay. When asked if they just outed Molly, AG gave a very non-committal reply. AG has always had a distinctly feminist slant, but it’s only ever toed the line of actually being LGBT inclusive. So far the only actual inclusion we’ve seen from them is a Girl of the Year with a pair of gay aunts. Even that tiny whiff of queerness was enough to set off a frothing horde of angry conservative moms screaming for a boycott. Since Mattell is only motivated by profit, I doubt we’ll get more representation any time soon, but we can dream.

Anyway, World War II was pretty gay to begin with.

A lot of historians point to WW2 as the starting point of the modern gay rights movement because before it, you had very many people living on isolated farms and never going very far from home in their lifetimes. With mass recruitment of men into the military, gay servicemen were able to find other men like themselves and build a community. It was much the same way for women who went to work in factories, joined the WAC or WAVES, and joined women’s baseball leagues. That’s right, the league of their own was gay as FUCK.

As far as Molly’s fashion goes, I love her lack of pink. I’m glad there’s a doll out there that isn’t hyper-gendered, and I wish there were more dolls like her out there.

With sweaters coming into fashion in the 1920s and 30s, the sweaters of the 40s started to see more complex and colorful knits coming into style.

Much of the fashion of this era was dominated by frugality. Europe’s couture houses were shut down, and fabric was rationed. Hems were shortened and baggy cuts and useless frills were done away with. Britain introduced the “Utility Scheme” which hired designers to make chic ensembles using as few resources as possible. Because of this, separates and outfits that could be made with scraps of fabric were very popular, and at-home knitting and sewing continued to be highly popular.

“After the United States entered World War II in 1941, companies began to experiment with various materials in anticipation of rationing and shortages. This example is a prototype from Nina-Fay Foundations, which uses plastic for closures and stays instead of the usual metal. Although metal was not ultimately rationed, the company was experimenting with alternatives to metal zippers and hooks in the event that it was needed for the war effort.”

(The Met Museum)

Women were taking men’s jobs and taking on masculine roles

But they were still expected to maintain a certain level of femininity, “To give our boys something to fight for.”

Because of all of this, the gender politics of the 1940s are really complicated and interesting.

god i just rewatched the HOUR LONG garage band interview/masterclass patrick did in 2014 and fuckkk(b also comfort video asf)

1 he’s unreasonably adorable and just like comforting? 2 all the closeups of his fucking HANDS i need them in all my holes and in my mouth so i can suck on them while he fucks me and calls me a good boy for taking it all so well 3 the way he gets all flustered at the hecklers(even tho the second hand embarrassment kills me) 4 there’s this one like 10 second time period where he puts one of his hands on his waist and like HOLY SHIT he’s so fucking curvy and you can see the way his tummy curves out into his hips and he’s just sooooo edible i need to bite and kiss and nuzzle 5 the sweater paws throughouttt i need to fuck him and he puts one of his arms up to hide his face in the crook of his elbow b he’s still wearing the fucking cardigan and has a sweater paw that he’s gripping onto for dear life 6 so many ppl in the comments were talking ab how j calming and soothing his voice is like i could j listen to it forever YESSSS 7 as previously stated he’s adorable b not in like a ‘cutie soft smol’ way like i still need him to finger me till i’m crying while i sit in his lap and he just talks me thru it the whole time and rubs my back 8 as previously mentioned in the voice thing i need him to just ramble to me while we cuddle after sex(he’s the little spoon he talked ab it in i think it was loveline n the iconic clip of joe cuddling him in 2003(?) side note i need to leave sweet little kisses on his neck while we spoon and he gets all squirmy and ticklish) until i fall asleep.

i haven't seen seasons 1 through 3 since 2019 (but i am slowly making my way back through it) so forgive me for any inaccuracies, but purely from memory this is how im ranking steve from each season

character in general

Season Two Steve, because he's still got that jock-ish bitchy energy but it's also where we really start to see his softer side and also i think the first time you genuinely feel for him (his problem with billy, his implied problem with school, the bullshit scene), it's also the birth of babysitter steve!! and the second but much more thorough time we're shown that he's fully willing to put his life on the line to protect people he doesn't even know that well. He's a competent and strategic character who definitely has the vibe of Just Trying To Get Through The Year.

Scoops Steve, for similar reasons as the above but we also get to see the goofier prettyboy side of him and we're better introduced to Steve's observational skills and how the fact that he's not "smart" like the others is actually one of his advantages. Because while robin and dustin were focused on translating russian, steve couldn't stop noticing how familiar the background music was. this is also the season where Steve is starting to be written as a ditzier character, but i'm choosing to chalk that up to the fact that he's more laidback and less worried about his public appearance now that he works at an icecream parlor and wears a sailor uniform. (This is also the most bisexual version of steve, followed by s4)

King Steve, who i personally think was quite shallow (like from a writing perspective) but that is almost definitely because he wasn't originally supposed to survive the first season so he's forgiven for that. Still, we are shown someone who is cutting and self-confident, and then later shown that he is someone who is quick to realise when he's genuinely fucked up and just as quick to apologise. It's also when we're introduced to the idea that he will consciously put himself in danger to protect others. (@peter-pantomime made a really great video about one of Steve's tells on tiktok and i haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since)

Season 4 Steve, because they pretty much erased any and all of the competency previously shown in his character. I think this season did the most disservice to him, seeming to only write him off as genuine idiot who gets treated like shit by all of his friends and is only useful as a babysitter for teenagers who don't want to be babysat. It erased any progress he'd made in regards to his relationship with Nancy Wheeler, i think the only thing that kept him feeling like Steve was Joe Keery's acting and how well he knows the character. I think a lot of what was wrong with Steve's character this season could've been a really great way to introduce the amount of head trauma he's received through the other seasons but considering it wasn't so much as hinted at in canon it just seems like they circled back around to making Steve Harrington's character as shallow as it was in season 1. whether or not that's because they're setting him up to die in season 5, i think it was unfair.

character design

Scoops Steve, in his little sailor outfit with the floofy hair and the lipgloss?? iconic (bonus: the dark blue jeans with the red and blue vest when he applies at family video)

Season Two Steve, with the tight blue jeans and the sunglasses and the swoopy hair and the nail bat, also iconic (bonus: his gym uniform AND the maroon sweater when he drops dustin off at the dance)

Season 4 Steve bc he spent a majority of his screen time shirtless and only wearing a battle vest, and then later the coolest fucking jacket i've ever seen (wait shout out to that blue and white polo shirt that showed off his arms, thank you for your service; and his cute little yellow sweater)

King Steve, while i do love the preppy look and how much it made him look like a puppy at times, what the actual fuck was going on with his hair?? i would have liked to see more of the floppy haired steve we saw when he was helping Nancy study ):

Cramp Twins headcanons! Mostly about my favorite blue/purple psycho

Wayne's not only the best dancer in town but also an amazing singer

You'll never see him do it though

After Wayne found Lucien's missing owl toy, he secretly cherishes his purple cat toy

The boys sleep with their twins toys, it makes them feel more connected

The boys don't know this but their parents know they do this when they check their rooms at night

The toys are often on their beds or dressers when not being used

It warms their parents hearts

Wayne actually has a full head of hair, but due to the art style, it looks like he doesn't

Wayne has a pet he keeps at Dirty Joe's

Lucien's very upset about this once he finds out

Dorothy can't do anything about it since it's not near the house

Ironically, Wayne's a far better eco person than Lucien is

Lucien obviously doesn't believe this, even when he's seen evidence of it

He refuses to believe that someone like his brother, who could care less about the environment, is far better at saving it than him!

It's more of a subconscious thing for Wayne

Due to Wendy and her weirdo friends' behavior, Wayne is turned off by girls entirely. Even Wendy's personal mechanic Joanne

He associates every girl who hangs around Wendy as bad news, so he'd rather stay away from them

It's why he was so desperate to get rid of his crush on Joanne

They do later become friends though

She still has a crush on him

The only females his age that he gets along with are Patsy, Mari, and Joanne

Besides their iconic sweater symbols, the boys' other symbols are a bear for Lucien and a cat for Wayne

Mrs. Cramp has made all of the boys' sweaters

She loves dressing them a like, so all their outfits have matches

On the days when they accidentally wear the same things, they immediately run back to change outfits

They won't be caught DEAD wearing the same thing if they can help it

Special occasions where their parents dress them up is the only time they'll reluctantly do it

Dorothy makes the twins' birthday cake every year

Lucien has only been a vegetarian for a short amount of time

Wayne is the 1st of the 2 to get an actual job, much to Lucien's disappointment

He becomes the mascot character for a sweet industry: he's a princess

He gets paid in money, and all he can eat sweets

Nobody knows it's him since he gets covered up in makeup and fun girly clothes that he wouldn't normally wear (think Jojo Siwa)

He is now a celebrity because of it, or at least this alter ego is

Wayne is a professional gaslighter

Wayne once tricked Lucien into believing that HE was the younger twin

It was funny at 1st but then got annoying

Lucien likes to bring in swamp animals and leave them for Wayne to find and scare him

Mostly frogs

Wayne has a deep fear of frogs

Lucien always gets in trouble for it but finds it totally worth it

Wayne is just as smart as Lucien, he just uses his in a different way

Lucien got most of the smarts while Wayne got most of the creativity

Tony and Wayne still talk to Randal

Few people are allowed to call Dorothy 'Dottie'

Mr. Winkle and Mr. Parson are cousins

Dirty Joe sees Wayne as a son

Dirty Joe loves kids, but due to his lifestyle, he can't really be around them

Losing his owl toy made Lucien into what he is today

Mrs. Cramp is why Wayne is the way he is

Wayne has a birthmark in the shape of a star on his inner thigh

While both boys' ears are pierced, Wayne has a couple more piercings than Lucien. His ears are pierced multiple times, his nose, his tongue and his belly button

When he's older, he'll get his nipples pierced

Marsha and Tandy are Dorothy's childhood friends

Marsha has 2 kids who are in high school

She got pregnant young

Tandy is secretly a lesbian who had a crush on Marsha's sister when she was younger

Marsha and Tandy are basically the boys, but adults with the way they act towards each other

These 2 will throw shade at any given moment

The soap people have a weird relationship with filth, they can't stand it but also crave it

It's their swamp heritage, though most don't know it

Dorothy's extreme OCD and obsession with cleaning comes from her overbearing and judgmental mother

Dorothy is a daddy's girl

Dorothy will occasionally call Lucien 'LuLu'

Joe tries to get his friends to be nicer to Wayne when they come around

They do like the kid. They're just kinda aggressive?

Both boys are in the LGBTQ community

Lucien is Bi as well as nonbinary, while Wayne is unidentified

Dorothy always wanted a daughter

Big Baby is their cousin from their fathers side

Big Baby is actually older than the boys by at least a year, she simply acts younger to get away with more

She acts a lot like Wayne

This is why she was sent to the Cramp's house the 1st time

Wayne still has the 2 dresses he got from Wendy, as well as the bows and shoes

Lucien still has his pagent gear

Wayne also still has the tiara Dirty Joe gave him

Wendy and her friends are complete perverts when it comes to Wayne. Her friends do it cause they think it's funny, Wendy does it because of her creepy obsession with Wayne

The boys are naturals when it comes to playing music

Wayne actually does know how to play the piano and harp

Most of their gifted talents come from their granddad

The gifted gene runs in his side of the family

Their granddad used to be a performer like Seth but in a different field

The Bad Seed was actually Horace's brother Herman

Twins run on Horace's side of the family

Herman was the Wayne to Horace's Lucien

Lucien's appearance comes from Horace side while Wayne's comes from Dorothy's side

Seth met his wife while performing at the circus

A good amount of my headcanons for the show

Might do more later

On the Kelly and Ryan Show, I felt like Kelly wanted to put Joe in her pocket the whole time. He looked so cute that day.

That pink sweater vest is just iconic now I think lol Joe pulled it off so well. I loved that he got to take Caroline there and to Jimmy Fallon!!

Also, same Kelly, same lol

Hey, you. Yes, you. I'd like to have a minute of your time to tell you about a Blue's Clues character that Nickelodeon wants you to forget about. Buckle up, this is long.

Her name is Green Puppy, and this is what she looks like:

Source

[Image ID: An image of Green Puppy from Blue’s Clues. She is at school, sitting on a rug and surrounded by knocked-down blocks.]

See, isn't she adorable? In the original Blue's Clues, she and Blue met on a bit of a bad note. Green Puppy knocked down Blue's block tower in the episode "Blue's Sad Day". But during that episode, she and Blue made up and became friends, so you'd think that she'd be treated like any of Blue's other friends, right?

Well, as it happens, when the reboot Blue's Clues & You came along, all of Blue's classmates returned eventually. Magenta, Orange Kitten, Purple Kangaroo, even Periwinkle...but wait, where's Green Puppy?

Source

[Image ID: A photo of the Little Golden Book “Blue’s Clues School Day”. It is opened to a page where Blue, Josh, Magenta, Purple Kangaroo, and Orange Kitten are standing outside of school. The page has a line that says “All our friends are here”. I have circled the word “all” and drawn a red arrow pointing to it for emphasis]

Alas, Green Puppy wasn't included in the reboot.

But what about the episode where Blue's block tower gets knocked down? Surely, when they remade that episode, Green Puppy had to reprise her role?

Nope. They replaced her with Magenta.

Then, what about the episode "Colors Everywhere", where Blue wanted to add Green Puppy to her painting of friends? Green Puppy was the answer to Blue's Clues in that episode. So when they remade that episode for the reboot, she had to have come back in some capacity, right?

Magenta. They replaced her with Magenta again.

[Image ID: Green Puppy and Blue are together. They are sitting in front of a painting. Blue is painting Green Puppy.]

Now, it might be easy to write Green Puppy off as "a little mean", given how she was introduced. But personally, I believe her existence as a character was very important. Almost everyone as a kid had a moment where they'd gotten a little overexcited about something, leading them to do something that accidentally hurt another kid's feelings. Green Puppy represents that.

Plus, she and Blue got along wonderfully after that episode. Like in the episode "Blocks", where Blue invites Green Puppy over just to knock towers of blocks over as a physics demonstration:

[Image ID: A gif of Green Puppy unevenly stacking blocks on a tower, deliberately causing it to topple. When it falls, she looks proud.]

Or how about Blue and Green Puppy playing on the swing at school together?

[Image ID: A gif of Blue using her long ears to push Green Puppy on a swingset.]

What about the holiday episode, where Blue gets her a self-knocking-over tower of blocks as a Christmas present?

Source

[Image ID: A screencap from the episode “Blue’s Big Holiday”. Blue is watching with excitement as Green Puppy opens her gift, which is a self-knocking-over tower of blocks. The blocks are now knocked over, and Green Puppy looks like it’s the best thing she’s ever seen in her life.]

Or when she celebrated fall with Blue and Periwinkle?

Source

[Image ID: Joe, Green Puppy, Blue, Periwinkle, Mr. Salt, and Mrs. Pepper are at an apple orchard. They are holding apples and wearing sweaters that match their signature colors.]

Or when she participated in the big parade with the rest of Blue's classmates?

Source

[Image ID: Blue, Green Puppy, and Magenta are having a makeshift parade using pots & pans, party hats, and a wagon. Orange Kitten, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, and Paprika are watching excitedly, cheering them on.]

Or Blue's Big Musical Movie, where Green Puppy gets to dance in the big show with everyone?

[Image ID: A gif of Blue’s Big Musical Movie. Several of Blue’s housemates and classmates are on stage together.]

In the iconic episode "Blue Takes You to School", plus the tie-in book AND the tie-in PC game, Green Puppy was featured just as much as Blue's other classmates:

[Image ID: Periwinkle, Orange Kitten, and Green Puppy are playing with boats in water together. Periwinkle, however, is holding a toy helicopter.]

If THAT’S not enough to convince you, Green Puppy even got TWO of her own books: “I’m Sorry” and “Green Puppy Goes to the Dentist”.

Source

[Image ID: An image from the Blue’s Clues book “I’m Sorry”, with the text edited out. A basket of strawberries, a hand drawn card, and a pile of flowers are sitting on the ground as Green Puppy and Magenta give each other a big hug.]

If that’s not enough evidence for you that she’s important, how about the fact she got her own figurine?

Source (I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH SELLER)

[Image ID: A figurine of Green Puppy. She is holding a blue lunchbox and an apple.]

She even got her own plush!

Source (ALSO NOT AFFILIATED WITH SELLER)

[Image ID: A plush of Green Puppy. Her tongue is sticking out.]

So why was Green Puppy chucked out like trash when it came time for the reboot? Orange Kitten and Purple Kangaroo survived, and they're both considered "obscure" characters, just like her.

If I've gotten your interest now, and you want to know what you can do? Talk about her. Create fanart. Create memes. Together, we can make sure Green Puppy isn't forgotten.

[lesbianrobin]

hello em i have a request. can u please rate mr harrington's looks/outfits i just feel like u have the best takes and i'd LOVE to know how you'd rank his choices 👀

this is the single greatest ask i’ve ever received. i will be ranking the outfits, not steve’s moral alignment or actions in each scene. in order of appearance:

The Introduction

4/10

hair is tragic

steve copied this entire fit from a mannequin in the ralph lauren polo outlet store

would honestly be a 0/10 except for the obvious valiant effort being put forth by his lower half to resist the sexless curse of khaki pants. the devil (st costuming department) works hard but by god steve harrington (joe keery’s body) works harder

nice brown watch that certainly came from a department store

also gains points for being next to nancy’s anemic librarian fit, thus looking better by comparison

The Rich Bitch

8/10

thank god he ditched the khakis

hair looks much less demonic

it’s a simple look but the sweatshirt rides up when he shotguns the beer

he also gets wet

solid 8 for sluttiness alone

The Whore

10/10

wet

please note that his chest is waxed. keep this in mind.

The Heterosexual

2/10

hair looks like he dipped his head in glue

bold choice with the grey pants. unfortunately that choice was wrong

matching outfits with your comphet girlfriend isn’t as cute as you think it is stevie

you only get points because despite that ungodly pastel stripe pattern the polo’s decently fitted and makes your arm look kinda nice

The Dickhead

3/10

glue head pt. 2

at least the stripes aren’t pastel this time

The Cuck

6/10

hair slightly less glue-y

yet another striped polo is peeking out unfortunately

but! it’s green and green looks good on him

finally wearing jeans like a normal fucking human instead of weird slacks

pivotal moment in steve’s fashion evolution from preppy male model to sexy morally upright king

his morals are stored in the denim

The Final Girl

9/10

an outfit with a character arc to rival steve’s own

pretty fucking good hair if i do say so myself!!

it’s fluffy!

that shit looks like if you touched it it’d be soft... no glue here!

finally not copying from the goddamn l.l. bean catalog

iconic green slut sweatshirt? check! jacket and nikes? check! fucked-up gorgeous face and baseball bat full of rusty nails? check, baby!

looks good on its own OR with some blood on top

overall a very solid look

The Darling Little Drummer Boy

7/10

babe no... please don’t go back to the khakis... they won’t treat you like jeans do...

not quite glue head but not his best

apparently steve owns a single green sweatshirt, a thousand striped polos, and one very precious christmas sweater

almost makes up for prep-related khaki crimes by being really fucking cute

The Simp

8/10

glue head is DEAD

further evidence that steve harrington’s entire closet is just striped polos

this is his fifth unique striped polo

most of these points are for the sunglasses and the hair

actually all of these points are for the sunglasses and the hair

he’s finally let go of the fucking pastels thank jesus

and you can’t see it but he did wear jeans with this fit i just forgot to make sure they were pictured and it’s 4:15 am so i don’t feel like going back to remake this collage

cannot tell if this is a lighter blue version of the jacket he wore three times in s1 or if it IS the jacket he wore three times in s1 and the color grading is just that different

either way he loves jackets and i think that’s very sexy of him

The Intellectual

9/10

i’ve been waiting for this one... turn it up!

literally invented vests

excellent hair

loses a point for unfortunately introducing steve’s SIXTH unique striped fucking polo

i can’t see the collar but i know it’s there i know you’re wearing another fucking polo steve you can’t hide from me

can’t decide if he looks gay or just really preppy but either way he’s got some repression going on

still a very solid look

The Oh No Oh God It Hurts I’m Looking Away I Can’t Watch This

10/10

yes that middle picture is absolutely to show off the texture of his blazer and not at all me making sure that if i have to see his heartbroken little face then you all do too

anyways i Know that blazer cost at least $100 like i Know that shit’s expensive

excellent gorgeous soft-looking hair that someone ought to run their hands through but only people who haven’t dated him for a year while pining after someone else

emotional devastation... but make it unbelievably fucking sexy

stevie baby i know you’re a colorful guy but please wear more black

The Meathead Jock

9/10

aw christ whatever happened to standards?

introduction of the blue nikes <3

god his hair looked fucking good here

could have gained that final point by using tube socks with blue and GREEN stripes to tie together the shoes and the gym uniform :/

shorts could be shorter but are an altogether appropriate and enjoyable length

fun sweatstain to customize the look <3

The (is there a word for victim of bullying?) Serious Athlete

8/10

the yellow stripe was more fun

still cute though

The Sudsy Boy

11/10

wet

suds indicate that he’s washing his hair, presumably with faberge organics. is this why he’s being bullied?

steve brings his faberge organics shampoo and conditioner and his farrah fawcett spray to school with him whenever he has basketball practice

steve either has shampoo, conditioner, and hairspray in his backpack at all times, or he has a separate gym bag that’s mostly haircare products

just need to make sure we all know that

excellent freckle showcase

his chest is still waxed. please, i beg, keep this in mind

one of his strongest looks

The Babysitter

10/10

his most versatile look to date

a different jacket than the one(s) he’s worn before but it still has the same kind of collar. steve found a jacket he liked and bought it in at least three colors

the whole thing fits So fucking nicely! shirt, jacket, jeans... baby boy is TAILORED

return of the white nikes with the red check indicate that they are his fashion nikes, while the blue nikes with the white check are his sport nikes. interesting.

this fit lasts like 48 hours and steve simply looks sexier as time goes on which is a testament to its quality as well as his inherent power

every new accessory elevates his appearance. roses, nail bat, rubber gloves, blood, sweat, band-aids, bandana, goggles... each element complements the look in its own way!

an overall win

The Chauffeur

8/10

we can’t really see the whole fit but he’s not wearing a striped polo so i’m calling it a win regardless of what’s on his bottom half

cannot give him a 10/10 though because he might be wearing khakis

red is such a nice color on him when it’s not just from his blood

i lied when i said he should wear more black he should wear more colors

that plain sweater absolutely cost $85 or more

hair looks very nice and soft

excellent look!

The Sailor Man

9/10

very precious

absolutely the best hair i’ve ever seen

baby boy got highlights for his hot girl summer!

bright colors make his very red lips pop

shorts could be shorter

love the little accents! especially the white pockets and belt

excellent color coordination on steve’s part with the blue sneakers (notably different than his s2 blue basketball nikes) and the red bruising/blood

i hope you remembered that steve’s chest was waxed. as you can see his chest is now unwaxed. some change between s2 and s3 drove this decision, presumably either his breakup with nancy or the fact that he no longer showers in front of other guys at school. up to your interpretation

shock blanket at the very end is a nice touch so we don’t forget he’s traumatized

The Drowned Rat/The Man Overboard

10/10

wet

shorts could be shorter

the decision to purchase and wear a hoodless raincoat is absolutely ridiculous and stupid

however it is also very steve harrington and i value self-expression

The Chick Magnet/The Flaming Homosexual

100/10

what can i even say about this fit?

the absolute best pants he’s worn thus far. amazing fit, excellent classic wash. i say this as a former american eagle outfitters associate and the winner of my freshman year dorm’s “best at folding jeans” award

manages to make blue jeans with a half-blue denim vest work effortlessly

bold primary colors make him stand out without being too gaudy

excellent pairing of t-shirt with simple stripes and vest with simple color blocking to create a complex yet cohesive and flattering look

simple brown belt gives the look a put-together yet down-to-earth vibe

hair has only gotten better

still wearing that same brown watch that he’s had since the introduction

this man looks like he waxes his chest

this is steve in his final form

thank you for your time

[iero]

eddie wears the piss shirt but he steals one of steves polos to make it

LMAO, so true Nessa! SO TRUE! And, Steve catches on immediately and is like, "Is that my shirt?!" and Eddie is like, "No... Maybe... What are you gonna do about it, Harrington?" Or just the Iconic yellow sweater...? Nah, I think Eddie just wears that, period. It looks comfy to him (and to me if I'm being honest...), so he wears it lounging around.

Also, sidenote, but I love your title and icon! The fucking title LMAOOO... Are we talking about Eddie or Ray here though? The icon... That's his face as he's looking at STEVE! Insane! Joe Quinn, thank you for your service! <3

[sonny-ray-of-goth]

Ahhhh I thought I posted this but nooooo it was deleted.

Anyway.

I love Phineas and Ferb

And I like to draw.

Sooooooo

I redrew the Phineas and Ferb gang a bit older and in more modern styles.

So let’s see shall we?

First up we have Phineas!

(Who is totally a trans guy)

I feel like Phineas definitely had some form of attention deficit disorder so I gave him a fidget toy, although I suppose he would probably make his own little gadgets to fidget.

I kept his design pretty much the same as his original but tried to give him a bit of a TikTok boi vibe with the puffy jacket over his pretty standard summer look.

I really wasn’t planning to give him the triangle head and just give him angular features but my friend insisted he wasn’t Phineas without the triangle head, sooooo.

And I gave the boy a butt load of freckles because that’s what he gets for those king summers.

Up next we have my personal favorite, Ferb!

First of, Ferb is definitely non binary he/they aro spec ace. I don’t make the rules. I just head canon.

Anyways..

Ferbs design is pretty much the same just with a bit of a more e-boy vibe.

Exchange the purple high-waisted pants for black high-waisted skinny jeans, and a purple sweater over his white button down.

And the iconic ace ring.

And dyed purple hair because we know Ferb would have that phase.

Also lots of piercings that he probably let Phineas give him and the freaking skater boi vanns.

AYYEEE PRETTY LADY, Isabella!

Preppy fighter girl vibez with this one!

Isabella definitely is an upstanding student but absolutely no one would mess with her.

Again kept her style pretty similar with some more modern touches, changing her overall dress look to a skirt with suspenders and a white king sleeve blouse instead of her original t shirt.

I darkened her skin tone because I just feel it suits her better and put her hair up in pig tails since she’s a very active person and would probably want it out of her face, similar to the braid we see in act your age.

The gloves are mostly fan service to me along with her being a BA.

You know she’d beat the living shit out of anyone who even tried to hurt her friends.

The nerdy babe is up next, Baljeet!

He basically got a similar revamp to Isabella, overalls being replaced with pants and suspenders and long sleeve instead of t shirt.

I gave him the whale dress socks as both a reference to the whalemingos (that his boyfriend won’t shut up about) and as a reference to my irl friend who wears funky socks all the time.

I gave him those cute little glasses because I can see him wearing them as reading glasses and that’s his justification because why else would someone wear glasses that small they are simply illogical-

And the bling.

Pocket watch is a reference to my other friend... and the necklace was just a nice touch.

The man, the myth, the bully! BUFORD!

Ok so act your age did my mans so dirty.

Let Buford be thicc.

I get the long hair, I can see it but also,

MAN BUN.

Otherwise I think Bufords style probably wouldn’t change that much, he’s got that grungey vibe , so I kept his shirt and turned his cargo shorts to pants.

I added the letterman jacket because he probably joined football but I added some patches I think he’d have, like the theater patch as an allusion to his directing passion, the drums from the Baljeetles, and a feminist patch because this man chugs that respect women juice.

And the ace ring because you can fight me on the fact that Buford is a gray ace.

Finally we have the queen of Mars, Candace!

Ok so Candace is definitely a trans girl (future post coming about that)

I can totally see Candace being a harujuku girl, 100% inspired by her obsession with ducky momo, who is on her tank top.

I kept the elements from her initial design like her red sweater, but I lengthens the sleeves and for her skirt I changed the white accents to a trim rather than her belt.

I also added a bunch of references to her personal tirades and just the show in general

For example, Chicago joe and Mary in her hair accessories and the hair wrap around her bun being zebra print, the skull pin from when Buford worked for her for a day and all the references on her shoes.

Anyway...

That’s all for now, if anyone cares to hear more of my Phineas and Ferb rambles, my asks are always open

Or if anyone’s interested in more of my art

Have a swell day!

[angelhummel]

Do you think all the guys clothes are trash? From what i remember they where boring and wrinkled. I think the only boys to have good clothes were Brian Ryan, Kurt, blaines bro and Jesse

Hmmm well I don’t think they’re aaaall trash. Also apparently unpopular opinion but I love Blaine’s clothes?? Yes his weird hats, yes his clown bowties, yes his striped socks that match his striped shirt. I think he was always adorable. And I also always get a kick out of Kurt saying Rachel manages to dress like a toddler and a grandma at the same time when like... look at his beau 

Anyway nah I wouldn’t call them all trash. I mean Finn and Sam were pretty boring with maybe a decent look here and there. And Puck was basically the same but slightly more edgy which I kind of liked. Again, he didn’t have many stand out looks to me, but still 

I think Artie had a more diverse style. They worked a few vintage pieces into his looks here and there, and he always had those funny sweaters like the ones with tractors and martinis on it (iconic), and then like the 70s style shirts and stuff in s5. Maybe it wasn’t always hitting but at least they were trying something

Plus like with Bryan and Cooper I mean they were only in one episode each so it was probably easier to pick out like half a dozen outfits for them and call it a day lol. Also idk if it’s just me but I don’t think Jesse’s style fits his character? Like what the costume department gives me and what JG gives me for Jesse are two totally different things lol

But yeah especially after that it kinda tapered off. Like Joe was more hippie and Rory was ?? green?? and then like Jake and Ryder had zero thought put into their stuff. It’s all just hoodies and t shirts and flannels and bleh boring

tag meme: list 3-5 pieces of literature/media that live in your head rent-free to the point where you have them memorized; write them down from memory, no cheating allowed! tagged by @olreid, this is your fault, you made this happen 😈

i have so much of angels in america committed to memory just because i’ve seen it so many times and pretty much constantly re-visit it. but the first lou & prior scene always sticks in my head. PRIOR: poor louis, i’m sorry that your grandma is dead. LOU: tiny coffin, huh?... i’m sorry that i didn’t introduce you to everyone. i just get so— closet-y at these family things— PRIOR: butch. you get butch. “cousin doris! you don’t remember me, i’m lou, rachel’s boy, lou”. not louis, cause if you say louis, they’ll hear the sibilant s. LOU: i don’t have— PRIOR: i don’t blame you. it continues but i don’t remember the rest of this bit until LOU: you’re in a pissy mood, the cat still missing? PRIOR: not a furball in sight. and it’s your fault. call an animal little sheba and you can’t expect it to stick around. besides, it’s a dog’s name. LOU: well i wanted a dog in the first place. (he continues on) also of course but still. still. bless me anyway. i want more life. i cant help myself. i do. and HARPER: when you pray, what do you pray for? JOE: i pray for god to crush me, break me up into little pieces and start all over again. and on a good day i can recite the tell me some more about justice scene but not today <3 

an embarrassing amount of bits from glee including no! i don’t want it to get better. i want it to be better, like, right now from the michael jackson episode (audience sighs) and also BLAINE: god, roxy music makes me want to build a time machine just so i can go back to the 70s and give brian ferry a high-five. KURT: do you think i’m boring? BLAINE: are you crazy? you’re the single most interesting kid in all of ohio. (please keep in mind that blaine is dancing to roxy music during this entire conversation) KURT: i mean like... sexually. we are playing it very safe by not granting our hands visas to travel south of the equator. BLAINE: (he’s still dancing) i thought that’s what we wanted? KURT: it is. i’m just wondering, have you ever had the urge just to rip off each others’ clothes and get dirty? BLAINE: uh yeah. but that’s why they invented masturbation (here he does jazz hands) KURT: it’s so hot in this room, can we open up a window? this is what’s going on in my head at any given time. one half of me is having a crisis in a leopard print sweater and the other half is just dancing to fucking roxy music

anything that feeds into an inside joke i have with @itsmydime: in your orange shirt you look like a better, happier saint sebastian (having a coke with you by frank o’hara) take heed, dear friends to the promptings of love and truth in your heart (advices and queries 1 from quaker faith and practice) INTERVIEWER: does elmo have ears? ELMO: say whaaa? INTERVIEWER: does elmo have ears? ELMO: no. INTERVIEWER: does elmo have a last name? ELMO: elmo monster! naturally! (from the sesame street wired autocomplete interview) 

BOY: hey, justin! wanna suck me off? BRIAN: no! but i’ll kick your tight little virgin ass so hard you wont sit down for a week! from the first episode of queer as folk US. iconic! 

also anything i have memorised for class including the entire first section of msteif’s the raven king chapter 59 for a speech & drama exam about 3 years ago which i will not write out, a million bible quotations (deuteronomy 6.4-9, proverbs 3.3 and matthew 21.12 are my favourites) and a lot of random shakespeare bits... the very mercy of the law cries out / most audible, even from his proper tongue, / ‘an angelo for claudio, death for death!’ / haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure, / like doth quit like and measure still for measure (measure for measure) for saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch / and palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss (romeo & juliet) 

my brain is truly full of mush! @itsmydime @rainist @queerbucky @minecraftparrish @saoirseronanlynch @wooners @warcotuj & anyone else do this if u want to but u don’t have to tehehehe

2020 in movies

Pride, 2014 - UK and France

this movie remade me gay.

I know there aren't enought to explain how much I loved this.

There are just so many beautiful shots, remarkable quotes and relatable moments.

Initially, I was watching for George Mackay and I'm glad I am obsessed with him, otherwise I would have never watched this masterpiece.

I cried a thousand times and some more.

That change on the music right before the fade to black when Gethin is being followed by that piece of shit? Bruh, my heart jumped right out of my chest.

Joe is a birthday boy, trying to pass unseen.

Steph, the sole lesbian.

I love Gwen so much. "Where are my lesbians? Where are they?"

Every woman is a lesbian on the heart, specially reggie's mum.

The nightclubs scenes were all divine man.

Dai's first speech gave me goosebumps all over, dunno why, but it was just beautiful.

"When you're in a battle with an enemy that's so much bigger, so much stronger than you, to find out you had a friend you never knew existed, well that's the best feeling in the world."

The same happened with Mark's holiday speech. When the women started singing, I just teared up.

Mike and his sweater are just too cozy to not be mentioned.

Jonathan fucking rocks the dance pit mate. Maybe you could say he is a maniac, maniac on the floor.

Also like Bromley's music taste changing after engaging wit the queer community, the realest thing to ever be in a movie.

I adored every little part of Gethin's backstory, all of it. When he shouted at the party "I'm gay and I'm welsh", bruh powerful.

Fuck Bromley's parents alright, fuck them. He does have a family, a thousand times better than you. It's not a lonely life if you allow yourself to be loved.

I was so happy for Joe getting his first kiss at the concert but man! You're supposed to be the official photographer and I know you lost a great shot for that kiss. Great choice tho, he was cuuuute.

Steph deserves a great love and I'm up for travelling back on time and be that person for her.

No one will convince me that Cliff wasn't supposed to be on the dead poets' society, 1. he loves poetry and 2. he is gay. All the requirements applied.

Mark and Mike are a bloody power duo alright? The M&Ms gonna save the Miners.

Mark writing down the number under a frame and saying "Someone might need it one day" and the photo being of Elton John? Iconic.

Most of Onllwyn deserves a big hug. That city feels like a sanctuary for me now.

The dynamic of the whole LGSM is awesome, I wish I could be in the middle to feel all of that support.

The Pits and Peverts tshirts were doooope, I want one so bad.

That scene with Joe and Steph at the bed is amazing, they remind me so much of the dynamic between me and my other queer friends. Also, the hand shot? *chef kiss*

Tbh, Joe is every fandoms AU condensed in one boy: he is gay, he is a baker, he is a photographer, he is soft.

The final pride scene made me actually sob, everything about it is perfect.

[likesomekindofcheese]

ugh carrie, you know I'm far from american but you also know how invested i am in anything political so i do feel for y'all out there in the usa 🤧 like- idk maybe you could do me a little ship based on how you know me 🤧 love you ♡

Oh, Sher!! Thanks so much!!! Your empathy means a whole lot right now!!!

Let’s see...I usually write for the big three (Beatles, BohRap, and Queen) and I think you’re mainly a Queen and BohRap fan, so I will ship you there.

Hmmmm, for Queen, I would say that I ship you with...

Rrrrrogah Taylah!!!!!

You both have the same energy, like that of two golden retriever puppies. Always wanting to play and have fun! With the occasional chaos of course.

I think Roger would like your sense of humor and your attitude and willingness to speak out and stand up for things. He is the same way as well.

He would love your height, (especially since tall girls have amazing legs and he would definitely notice...)

Though you have a sweet streak. He loves the compassion and understanding you give to him. He would make excuses to have long phone calls with you while on tour.

Plus he would take you on road trips with his car! Pack a big picnic, drive through the countryside and past cities, and pick a beautiful spot and eat lunch and then to a clearing to see the stars.

Plus he writes some secret songs just for you that takes him a while to share with the band bc they are out of character for him and so tender and intimate and they make you cry everytime.

Plus, he would love to hug you or kiss you and run his fingers through your hair or yours through his. In fact, you would be the only girl allowed to touch his hair!

Plus you get to let out your sexual tension with each other and it’s a m a z i n g

Now for BohRap, I was really torn. Really REALLY torn. Once I picked one, I would switch to another. So guess what! I’m writing b o t h. So you can pick which one you feel like on which days...I ship you with....

Gwilym Lee!!

He’s tol. And you’re tol. So you joke about forming a basketball team or sneaking all of the mugs and cups on all of the highest shelves.

Though you both get to wear sweaters with complementary colors that go well together and it’s so cute. You would both be fashion icons.

Plus it means you get to help take care of his plants! When you water them and say good words to them, it melts his heart!

Both of you can be at each other like rabbits esp since he’s sex on legs and we all know it. Plus he’s older and more experienced and knows how to explore and worship your body. You’re welcome.

He would be such a gentleman paying for food, opening doors, etc.

Plus you get to hike together and take silly pics of him looking like he is crushing the mountains with his fingers.

And he makes desserts and bakes during holidays and you get to do it together and try it, and even if it turns out not great you both laugh it off.

I also ship you with Joe Mazzello!

Both of you have more chaotic vibes and that of meme kings. So imagine the Instagram and Social MEdia flirting you both would do to each other!

Plus he would be perfect to bring home to your family. Always warm and welcome to them. Playing with any little kids.

He would watch movies with you and cuddle with you. He feels so soft and he would nuzzle and kiss your head.

Though sometimes he blows a raspberry into your skin mid-kiss and it makes you shriek and you both howl with laughter.

And he would travel to your place and see your country-even riding bikes together.

I think Joe would give you all sorts of little trinkets and gifts, and they mean so much. Even if it was a cheap tourist ring he could give it to you in a way that makes you cry.

He would also have plenty of the good sex, but it’s all soft and intimate and giggly and amazing with sleeping in each other's arms afterward

45 🙏🏻🤔

45. “Sometimes I really don’t like you.” - i’m going w joe!

It wasn't easy to impress your boyfriend's family but you certainly tried your best, you tried to be your authentic self and be a good match for him, by his loved ones' standards. However, Joe, one of your best friends, came to your rescue, on the same night when you called him, crying your eyes out after how disappointing it was to find out the man you were with, wasn't who he said he was. 

His sister had told you that he had been the only one of his buddies without a girlfriend and you were just the only choice as a cover-up, but you didn't know, you'd fallen for him, fallen for his stupid game and you'd left his house so fast you could've sworn steam blew out from under your feet. And that's when you called Joe.

"Dickhead."

"Tell me about it." You rolled your eyes as you opened up a packet of chips, stuffing a few in your mouth at once without a care, tear streaks sticky on your face, eyes on the tv as Joe, who had come over to comfort you in person, scrolled through Netflix.

"I did warn you about him, so I'm not going to say I told you so...but I told you so."

You glared at him and threw a chip at him, which bounced off his nose.

“Sometimes I really don’t like you.”

"What a waste of a chip, babe! And you don't mean that, you chose to call me instead of anyone else." A smile playing on his lips, glancing at you, knowing he'd stumped you there. You grumbled and sat back on the couch, crunching more chips, resting your ugg boots on the coffee table. Joe laughed and patted your knee before deciding on a cheesy romance film you'd never heard of, but it was the last thing you wanted to watch.

"No, no, no romance. Not after tonight." 

"Then what do you suggest?"

You deliberated in your mind for a few moments, then as if there was a lightbulb above your head, you thought of just the right film, a expression of glee over your face now, the tears barely there. Joe, however, looked worried.

"Oh no, I know that look...not that look."

You batted your eyelashes at him and tugged on his sweater sleeve, your hair falling out of its messy bun.

"Come on, Joey, please?" You begged, pulling at him harder, you knew he'd give in, it would only take a minute, as you were his best friend and he rarely said no to you and that look you gave him. And you were right. Joe sighed and stood up from the couch to your DVD stack, and plucked out the one you wanted. He opened it as he knelt by the player and took the disc out, talking without looking at you.

"The things I put myself through for you."

"You love me." You smiled.

"Fortunately...I do." He smiled back and closed the player, coming back to join you, where the two of you got into a comfortable position, his arm over your shoulder and your head below his chin, your hand delving into the packet for another chip as the iconic theme music of Jurassic Park started.
