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
#historical fiction#fantasy#clothing history#people cannot treat their garments like modern polyester fast fashion pieces if they're NOT#if NONE OF THOSE THINGS EXIST IN YOUR SETTING#who is MAKING IT who is DOING THE LAUNDRY why has NOBODY DEVELOPED A WAY TO AVOID DISCOMFORT#IF CERTAIN EVERYDAY GARMENTS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE IT#(that one is still about Br*dgerton and also The Al*enist)#(Oh If Only Women Didn't Have To Be Chafed By This Garment They Basically All Wear! well. um. bud I have a huge surprise for you)#(called 'they thought of that long before they started wearing them in that form')

Just out of curiosity since its my special interest; what kind of fashion styles would you say you wear/would like to wear? smile
ooo i feel like it's a mix of multiple styles! my friends irl either say that i dress emo or y2k style (i wear a lot of skirts over jeans, fun hats, leg warmers, lots of accessories and stuff...) my main style inspirations are stuff from fruits mag and random outfit pics from pinterest - i buy a lot of my clothes from chinese indie brands like cfierce, eyeelike, and double punch if that gives a good idea!
in short - in warmer months, my style is more harajuku/y2k/etc inspired - colorful oversized shirts, lots of hairclips, keychains, and accessories, cargo pants and shorts, etc!
and in colder months, more emo (according to my friends - i personally don't consider myself emo)/mori kei/twee??? idrk - dark patterned cardigans and sweaters, layered leg warmers, scarfs, hats (like ushankas and baker caps etc)!
if i could dress any other way, i would dress every way. i love all alternative fashion styles so much!!! i've loved alt fashion since i was a wannabe fairy kei 8 year old haha
#ask zeno#chinese indie brands are seriously underrated btw. a lot of stuff you see on pinterest that's miscredited as japanese or korean ...#its actually from chinese brands!#some more brands i've been eyeing are starry uff - hashtag DDD - 4re1gn - and i've also bought some stuff from no romance too!#the only downsides of chinese brands is that you have to jump through a million hoops to buy stuff from proxy sites#pay a shit ton for shipping#and often times the sizing is REALLY limited#i'm UK size XS-S and couldnt fit into M-sized jeans from nonamespace that my sister bought lol#luckily some brands have better sizing but its still a big issue#there are a few western brands that are similar and with more inclusive sizing though! i'd recommend sixth dimension in particular#and i wish i could reccomend minga london but they are seriously extortionate for their quality unfortunately#everything else i get from depop and vinted and other forms of thrifting - i try to avoid fast fashion as much as possible#though most of my accessories were bought from aliexpress a few years ago before i stopped using it#i'm really glad you asked this actually lol i love waffling about fashion stuff

If you're sick of the current popular trope/story prompt in the Phandom or DPxDC fandom you just need to ignore it
I feel like the fans in the Phandom and DPxDC minifandom that's popped up, who are really grossed/creeped out by the genre of fic popular right now.
Where the set up is some variation of Outsider POV and the plot is based around the assumption that Vlad SAed Danny in order to create Dan and Danielle, are people who haven't been around that long.
Especially when they try to whine about none of it being based in canon. And how they don't like the shipping of Vlad and Danny (even though the people who write these kinds of fics are very obviously not shipping Vlad and Danny in them).
Because the Phandom has historically gone through phases much more gruesome and horrifying than that.
Especially when in this current micro-genre, all of the SA and grooming and other kinds of abuse are implied only, and within the fics themselves the assumed abuse never actually happened. As the plot is based on over heard or misinterpreted fragments of information that doesn't give the POV character the full picture of the situation that's actually going on.
There's the infamous vivisection fics, in which the child main character is brutally cut open and tortured by his own parents in the name of their biased views of science. Who in canon, both happily accept him no matter what every time a reveal is happens and never so much as rejects Danny emotionally.
Then there's the variation on the traditional vivisection fic in which Danny isn't emotionally rejected and stripped of his humanity by his own parents. But instead captured and stripped of his human rights by the government, either by his parents unknowing actions which they stay oblivious to. Or in spite of his parent's acceptance of him, and with them helpless to rescue or protect him from the government's torturous "research".
There's the already existing variation of grooming and SA fics, where Vlad grooms and or assaults Danny. Which have been popping up for years now, but in which all of this type of horrible abuse actually happens in the story, instead of it being an Outside POV misunderstanding what's happen like the current micro genre of fic.
There's the fics where the Fentons have just been abusive or just negligent parents Danny and Jazz's entire lives. And them hurting Danny, emotionally or physically, intentionally or accidentally, is just an extension of their already unacceptable parenting habits.
There's the edritch/body horror genre of fics where becoming half-ghost (or sometimes something else) involves at the very least the partial loss of Danny (or Vlad)'s humanity.
Hell there's one fic that's stuck with me for ages, that I read years ago, back in my teens, written from the POV of a Maddie who murdered Danny to prevent him from becoming Dan. Which is stated in that fic to be inevitable.
It's also heavily implied that Maddie had incestuous feelings for Danny the entire fic. And that she also possibly raped him in the midst of her extremely violent* vivisection murder of him. But that if she didn't rape him, at the very least, ripping him open to see his insides while he was awake and struggling got her off anyways.
So yeah, I don't know what other explanation there is to all these people who seem confused and freaked out by the various fics popping up where there's assumed SA/grooming, but actually nothing outside of canon actually happened to Danny, and the whole thing is just a misunderstanding.
Other than them being extremely new to Danny Phantom fics in general and therefore unaware of just how dark (and potentially triggering) they can be.
When there's been fics for years about SA and grooming, some of which is explicit, some of which is all implied and talked around and just as gut wrenching, and some of which is actually painted in that cringe forbidden love sort of way, for more than a literal decade now.
If you don't like it, if it makes you uncomfortable, you're just going to have to ignore or block those people, like everyone else in the Phandom who feels the way you do has done for more than a decade now.
Don't make comments to those authors that you don't like that trope, or that it makes you uncomfortable, or anything similar. Just ignore them or block them if it really bothers you that much. Because if you don't like their stuff, then rather obviously you are not their intended audience, so you need to ignore their posts and fics and keep scrolling if you're not going to block them.
*Also yes I must state it was a violent vivisection murder. Because it is clearly stated in the fic, that Vlad finds Maddie sitting outside on the porch covered in Danny's blood and viscera, and that the room she killed him in is in a similar state.
I wanna say the fic got deleted during the old Fanfiction.net purge of more adult content, even though all of the sexual abuse/incest parts of the fic where all implied and not explicit, along with the violent vivisectoin murder taking place off screen.
Though I could be wrong, and it's still out there somewhere, and possibly not exactly as I remember it. I read it more than 5 years ago now, so there's almost certainly some memory drift by this point.
#danny phantom#feeling sick of seeing all these people complaining about the current popular trope in the phandom#this goes for all the various trending tropes that pop up by the way#not just the current dpxdc SA misunderstanding trope that's popular right now#I feel the same way about people who complained about the various de-aging adoption fics that were crazy popular a while ago too#and complained about Little Baby Man fics before that#phandom has trending tropes they all pass with time#if you don't like the trending trope then you just need to avoid it#or the whole phandom for a while if it really bothers you to the point of ruining your fandom experience#like they only tend to last a couple weeks to a couple months at most#I've seen some explode and then fade out within as little as like 3 days#I've seen fast fashion trends with more staying power than some of the tropes that seem to blow up in the Phandom

flying home tomorrow and when i return it will be winter so FINALLY get to reorder my closet. the dark academia thing was fun for two months and then i started wanting to set fire to everything corduroy
#until next fall when its fun again. the circle of life#just as i will go nuts with the weird emo cybercore thing for half the winter and then yearn for the romantic goth of spring and so on#avoid fast fashion when being a person who gets bored easily by swapping styles every season#BUT returning to the style each time it is its season

I don’t want to hear “crochet cant be made by a machine therefore you shouldn’t buy it from fast fashion shops” anymore. It misses the point that most things you buy from fast fashion shops are made by hand to some degree. An item being made with the help of a machine isn’t necessarily “better” especially if the garment workers are using these machines for hours on end in a factory with deplorable conditions. Even using machines to make garments is hard and arduous work. Even if there was a “crochet machine”, if you’re getting garments from a fast fashion shop its almost guaranteed it was made in a sweat shop (possibly even with literal slave labor). We cannot “ethically shop” our way out of capitalism.
#plus many of the things you think are ‘crocheted’ in these stores are in fact knitted#using a knitting machine#there are plenty of people who cant tell the difference#crochet#knitting#fibre arts#yarn crafts#basically you should avoid buying new items from a fast fashion shop if you can but understand not everyone can afford alternative methods

UNFORTUNATELY! if you’re not in my main oc universe like the main group or mikey & eilidh i just forget to think abt you. 😭 though i have drawn devon & eleonoora a ton since i started this sketchbook in 2022. however solfrid and lovise get a single drawing EACH!! i should remedy that lol.
#eleonoora and solfrid and lovise were excuses to draw mori fashion sorry… sorry. devon too. to an extent. but she originated outside of my#clothing drawinf doodles. she originated in more. abstract and conceptual landscape art#of which eleonoora could also be fit in to when i thought devon needed a friend#and well then they got names a plot worldbuilding etc#solfrid and lovise later got a story too but. it’s not something ive focused on at all.#because it needs quite a bit of revision#and it’s a little. lot. more plot heavy than my other stories. or at least i’m intending it to be#main group + mikey and eilidh and then devon and eleonoora get by with. slower pacing and such#solfrid and lovise need action and fast-paced scenes. which i am NOT good at!!!! i avoid them lol

had to do a little clothes shopping today
was reminded of why i hate clothes shopping
#too many options all of which is either too fem or masc for me#confusing sizing for pants#shorts for summer in women’s section being too short for my liking#shorts in men’s section too long and i dont like the general shape of them on my body#im also just not a fashionable person#yet im like super picky and can never really find anything i can see myself picking out of my closet satisfied to dress in for the day#the plus side to all of this is that it means i keep my clothes until they’re threads#avoiding fast fashion 👍🏼#thinking out loud

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"
