the 1920s: we're going to Liberate Women From Old-Style Corsets!

me: okay. not sure I agree wholeheartedly that that's something one needs to be liberated from, but certainly one can bend at the waist easier and I'm told you want to do more of that in your dancing. also freedom of individual comfort in undergarment choice is best. so no corsets, then?

the 1920s: hahaha no there will still be corsets, obvi

me: wait but-

the 1920s: they're going to be heavy-duty elastic and only cover the lower torso! :)

me: ...won't that be massively sweaty though? and isn't that just pure shapewear without any redeeming qualities like breast support?

the 1920s: ewwwww ew ew ew. breasts are gross. the new brassieres will flatten them actually

me: so, binders. women are going to be wearing binders if they want/need breast support

the 1920s: Sometimes We Will Combine The Binders With The Elastic Tube Corsets! :D :D D:

me:

the 1920s: and we're going to talk about ~liberating women's bodies~ so much that people who've never worn either style, but for whom our clothing looks more comfortingly familiar, will believe it was unilaterally better. and that we didn't wear corsets at all

me: ...I'm just going to be over here in the corner repeating "end of gendered voting restrictions, jazz, Harlem Renaissance" over and over so I don't murder you

#history #clothing history #fashion history #1920s #look I'm not saying THOSE were universal torture devices either. women clearly lived their lives in them #but like. How Is That Better My Guy #but because they had great PR everyone believes it was some huge improvement

Transitional phase

#isat spoilers #act 6 secret encounter #inspired by loop and loop adjascent designs by sharkylass and wonder-of-the-stars yay yay yay MY BRAIN EXPANDS ily guys #i think at this point im sure i'll never settle on 1 post-story loop design so i think they probably phase in and out of a human form #which is still mostly their own body but they regain some functions like the ability to eat and also their face and clothes #now with inbetween stages i guess?! i just thought it looked cute honestly. im playing. with my touys.#it's probably not fully in their control how they look at any given time. but they definitely stay stuck in star form for a while.#and get better control of keeping the 'human mask' on longer the more they practice #u can sort of see their eye scar in the transitional phase but it bursts out into the bright star that covers the eye in human form #in stars and time spoilers #isat #in stars and time #isat loop #my art

Re: MEMENTO MORI

a few weeks back i suddenly had a lil kick and remembered I haven't tried making something for Madness Day or really done Madness stuff for a long time even though i still love these violent jellybeans dearly and figured I could redo a concept I did for the last Madness Day i did something for back in 2021.

so naturally i left it until last night to actually do most of the drawing. Jeb, Hank and Tricky have all died a stupid amount of times.

#madness combat #madness day #madness day 2024 #hank j wimbleton #tricky #tricky the clown #sanford #deimos #jebus #jebediah christoff #the auditor #>>mango(t)art #i am actually pleased how it came out and that i finished it but holy heck do these guys die a lot #i shouldn't have left jeb and tricky for last but at least hank was already done :'U #if krinkels uploads mc12 today or soon i am not gonna redo this for any new canon deaths lmaoo. but i will watch as usual of course.#honestly i like how tricky looks he looked even better before the GIF quality crush but i think that's my best tricky yet #you can sort of see the quality bump from the original hank ones as i used a brush to do the glitch effects instead of doing it by hand #i think the effect could be better but it turned out alright and if i had time to practice i'll get the transition animations even better #tw blood

toby fox needs to add like a bit of narration in deltarune abt kris like "they themmed they/themily down the stheirs" cus i cant go on seeing them constantly get he/himmed in yt comment sections

#this is my punishment for actually looking at yt comments isnt it #deltarune #kris dreemurr #maybe im looking too much into things but...#it also feels sorta. misogynistic when ppl default to he/him for androgynous/non binary characters #like ive seen multiple ppl use “well its understandable that ppl assume kris is a he when they have such masculine behaviours/hobbies”#the masculine behaviours and hobbies in question are being a prankster #i shit you not #like they called pranking... masc?? huh #can girls and others not get their silly on anymore??#also like i said before with the exception of like frisk and chara like almost every nb character is masculinised #like napstablook monster kid #god there has to be more but my memory is shit atm and i also have to go eat dinner #but i wanna talk more abt like why it feels so misogynistic to me #i thinnk it has to do with the fact that defaulting to he/him just makes women feel like an afterthought. ig like unless its confirmed then #they must be a guy to be relevant or smth #and also like how much they gender entirely non gender specific things (see: pranking)#ofc it wouldnt be BETTER per se if they imagined these characters as girls but its smth ive noticed and i just get frustrated cus #it feels sexist but i cant FULLY articulate why #i feel like i had the answer a lil while ago but i forgot #i might come back to this who knows #wow ok rant over #for now

Hey uh. Am I misinterpreting something or have you been implying that the entire changeling situation sucks for more reasons than “bad things happen if the changeling gets caught”. Like am I misinterpreting something or are you saying it’s directly terrible, at least the process, for the godkid???

Fifth Consequence of becoming a Fairy: Alterations of the Soul.

The child's body undergoes Physical Changes to become a fairy, but they also undergo a metaphysical change as well. The soul must be adjusted, shaped, broken and remade. These changes allows the child to accept magic into their body, and handle any disruptions in time or perception.

Their soul is transformed into their proper Fairy's Crown, and the child would have officially become a True Pixie! Yippiiiie!!

Thankfully, this part of the process is painless! Or, well, more like Timmy fell unconscious during it. Though Timmy says he sometimes feels strange moments of loss. Like an essential part of himself has been ripped away from where it should be.
