I've seen a few posts about women and pants now and many of them are very good, and not to nitpick those posts or downplay religious sexism or anything, but I have to emphasise:

Somebody who DOESN'T live in a controlling religious country/cult/family is also affected by sexism. We all know that, right? Secular parts of the first world also have opinions about how women dress, including when it comes to trousers, especially in childhood and in institutions like schools and the workplace

Me and many people my age (20s) remember being forced into skirts, punished and shamed by parents & teachers & peers & possibly then bosses about what we wear not being feminine enough, and it wasn't by deeply religious sects. Many updates to dress codes are very new and sexist views are still in place in many institutions. Normalised societal misogyny wants women (and people they want to treat as women) to dress femininely, down to what KIND of pants they're allowed to wear (compare a pink top and jeggings to mens jeans and tell me these two women are treated the same. Hating women in pantsuits is still a sexist office joke today, and even those outfits are feminine compared to male suits, which raise eyebrows when worn by women). The women I know who wear trousers regularly are literally otherwise feminine, and all wear dresses to events.

I know trousers have become much more normalised over the past few decades in secular society (yay!! the result of many many years of effort and lawbreaking) but let's not be absolute when we talk about the pants concept lol. Especially within a larger conversation about female/transmasc/intersex/transfem masculinity and social perceptions, especially in an age of rising fascism

Since I'm almost done working on em here's my demolition lovers costumes so far!

I started this in like mid/late March I believe

This is my first time doing beading ever, I probably should have started with something smaller or even tested on some scrap but I am nothing if not stupidly ambitious.

I wanna say this is roughly 14hours of work so far, I still want to add more to the dress and possibly make some accessories, we will see what I can get done by Saturday lol

Slumber party question! What's your earliest memory of encountering beauty? The first thing you can recall where you looked at something and were struck by how beautiful it was?

Lucifer having no real issue with Alastor being a violent monster (he has seen it all anyway, nothing shocks him), but fucking loves him when gets to see his soft side VS Alastor adoring when Lucifer shows his more violent/dominant/terrifing side and doesn't mind the soft moments because it's his king.

There is no real competition, everyone wins.

Do you ever just almost miss your appointment for an oil change because you did that thing where your brain is like “no you don’t need to write that appointment down, you’ll obviously remember” but then you don’t remember and instead you randomly get a phone call saying “hey so your appointment was an hour ago are you still coming or…” and then you have to rush out the door and end up wandering around a tourist town unprepared for 2 hours while your car gets worked on and it’s super hot and humid outside so you decide to hang out in the church from the wedding scene in the Sound of Music because it’s super cool and crisp in there

or is that just me
