[conflictofthemind]

what are ur thoughts on gnc will?

This will be a long winded one.

Short of it: yes he is gender non conforming. I don’t think he’s particularly “girly”, but it’s this nice touch of the feminine he carries. There’s other users on this platform that have probably discussed this in a more proper manner than I have, and certainly more than I will writing this ask. I’m just going to give my own flavour of take and personal anecdotes about the topic under the read more 🙃⬇️

Honestly I find it a very underrated topic of discussion in this fandom that otherwise likes to discuss the same things over and over again (all love because I do it too with the added bonus of being new so often I don’t realize).

I do think it’s because the fandom isn’t very conducive towards it. There is a small but sometimes loud portion that likes to assume you have some secret nefarious reason behind any ‘gnc will’ posting (i.e. stereotyping). Or say by pointing out certain things as feminine, I’m being regressive and misogynist. Whereas I have another profile where I almost exclusively discuss female characters and often gender in those media. This is not a new topic to me (which I’m sure you’ll see).

In the first season he is absolutely a damsel-in-distress. He’s kidnapped by a monster and is hiding away in a ‘castle’ while his friends must come to rescue him. This continues from then on, but is the most obvious in S1.

We see the two characters that tend to chase him down when he is upset or in danger being Mike (duh) and Lucas, who are the two most masculine members of the party and play corresponding roles in DnD as Paladin and Knight. Even in the painting Will makes of the party, it features the party (Mike highlighted) facing off against a dragon. In that game the boys play in the arcade, the goal is defeating the dragon to save the princess —

— which is also such an iconic image of particularly Sleeping Beauty, who is a princess trapped in a castle. I have a whole idea centered around this one for later.

So in terms of role he has definitely been given a traditional female one. Even within the Byler relationship, Will stays in that passive ‘yearning maiden’ type position who is waiting for her true love to confess his feelings first. As Mike should.

All of that might have been very controversial because quote unquote ‘boxing Byler into gender roles’ is regressive (even if the characters intentionally fit these princess/knight archetypes, oops!). Personally I don’t find it regressive at all, I find it interesting to look at things from this perspective. Part of this labelling is the deconstruction of the tropes as well. Will can’t and is not going to remain passive in Season 5, so how will this be dealt with and how will it affect specifically the Byler storyline?

I’m especially interested in whether he completes the transformation from Princess to Witch 👀 but my fairytale posting might get some entries of its own.

Now what you provably mean irt clothing and gender presentation:

The answer is still yes. I think a lot of the reason people deny Will as being gnc is because he doesn’t look the part. But instead of thinking about why that might be, the conclusion is made right then and there.

Will wears clothes that are mostly hand me downs from Jonathan. Their family is poor and if he does get ‘new’ (read: personal choice) clothes they are almost certainly from the thrift store. He has no option to even try and experiment with.

In the original pilot the Duffs actually wanted him to be identifiable by ‘colourful’ (read: girly) clothing, and did keep a bit of that in his Will the Wise outfit that is customized and only worn when he’s comfortable and in his element. The original conversation around the table was Dustin poking at him for wearing a wig and purple gown:

My personal headcanons are that he would keep the natural colours because they are pleasing to the eye, but would experiment and branch out with slightly cuter designs once he is out of Hawkins’ claws. I think the femininity in his style would be kept fairly lowkey apart from certain DnD reunions with the party where he might pull out a costume with some experimental and colorful makeup.

Like, I own an 80s vintage sweater that I think he would wear:

I hope the theoretical reader enjoyed a look into my closet lol. But yes, I see Will as gnc (very broad term there btw) and it is a part of my enjoyment of the character. I am mostly a fan of female characters, and the few male characters I do really stand behind usually have at the very least a few gender non conforming traits.

<- All of this is said as a lesbian who doesn’t necessarily consider herself gender non conforming, but also doesn’t fit a lot of major feminine ideals. I’m butcher than the average twenty year old woman solely off of not wearing makeup, not shaving, and being gay which I do consider as particularly gender nonconforming for women.

GUESS WHO FINISHED

we got THE mist upon the hill by @ereborslionheart, a Widomauk fanfic where soulmates share their scars, and Caleb is the unfortunate damsel who has to bear through Molly’s recklessness. Dont let my summary fool you though, this fic is brutal and wonderfully angsty

Production rant under the cut :3

The cover is made of 100% genuine leather (according to the tag on the purse i bought at goodwill) and is embroidered with the colors of Molly’ jacket. The back embroidery is meant to mimic his tattoos, because of the whole soulmate thing involving skin.

The leatherbound book and the fire colored headbands were my nod to Caleb. (Plus, if you think of it, how fitting is it to have something of Caleb’s be covered in symbol’s of Molly) If im being honest, my first idea was to paint acrylic scars on the leather, but that pales in comparison to what i landed on.

Im really proud of the typesetting too, I’ve definitely improved since my last bind. (The fic is maybe 10k words longer, but literally almost the exact same size. Thats how much the margins improved)

AND i added a fan poem i wrote for the fic like 3 years ago for an english class. It was “write a poem about a book or piece of media” or smth. Ironically, the teacher accused me of plagiarism bc i put the name of the fanfic by it. I had to inform her that no, the fanfic in question is 70,731 words, my poem is about it, not directly it. Good poem tho, im still proud of it, and i figured itd make the beginning of the book feel more real.

I also put Devon Rue’s map in, specifically centered around where they’re running around in the book, which just simplifies to the Dwendalian empire.

I definitely couldve been more careful with my glue job, and the corners are gonna need protectors eventually bc i didnt cut them right, but overall i am really proud of this.

Hopefully by next book im using printed covers though because i dont know how many more custom fabric covers i have in me. I love them but my god are they tedious to make.

Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez at Rolling Stone:

Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, is incensed about seeing rainbow Pride flags during Pride Month, according to a new recording obtained by Rolling Stone. If it were up to her, she would be flying a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag in response. Or she might design her own flag, one sporting the Italian word for “shame.”  In recent weeks, Martha-Ann Alito has been at the center of a national firestorm over two flags seen flying at their residences that have been associated with right-wing movements that question the legitimacy of the results of the 2020 election. Justice Alito has blamed his wife for flying those flags — and rebuffed calls from Democratic lawmakers to recuse himself from upcoming decisions in cases related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Like her husband, Mrs. Alito is unbowed by the criticism and controversy — as she makes clear in comments recorded by liberal documentary filmmaker Lauren Windsor. Windsor, posing as a Christian conservative, spoke at length with Mrs. Alito at a dinner reception hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society last week. Windsor attended the dinner as a dues-paying member and bought a ticket; a colleague joined her.

Rolling Stone first reported on Windsor’s conversation with Justice Alito on Monday. While several outlets have recently relayed stories of Martha-Ann’s tense interactions with neighbors — apparently in response to a sign opposing Donald Trump — Windsor’s recording presents the justice’s wife in her own words. The audio, provided exclusively to Rolling Stone, paints a picture of a right-wing ideologue that matches with the private reputation that Mrs. Alito has developed in the Republican Party and judicial social circuits in the D.C. area and beyond.

In the most jarring moment in the recording, Windsor attempts to pose the same prompt that she presented to Justice Alito, about how, in order to take America back to “a godly place,” conservatives need to win. She doesn’t complete the thought before Mrs. Alito starts complaining about having to see rainbow Pride flags in June, Pride month.

“You know what I want?” Mrs. Alito says. “I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the Pride flag for the next month.” Referencing her husband, Mrs. Alito says, “He’s like, ‘Oh, please don’t put up a flag.’ I said, ‘I won’t do it because I am deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I’m putting it up and I’m gonna send them a message every day, maybe every week, I’ll be changing the flags.’ They’ll be all kinds. I made a flag in my head. This is how I satisfy myself. I made a flag. It’s white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word ‘vergogna.’ ‘Vergogna’ in Italian means shame — vergogna. V-E-R-G-O-G-N-A. Vergogna.”  “Shame, shame, shame on you,” she adds. (Last year, the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority ruled that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ customers.) In other points of the conversation with Windsor, Martha-Ann Alito agrees there is no negotiating with the radical Left. She claims “the Femnazis believe that [Justice Alito] should control me,” adding: “So they’ll go to hell. He never controls me.”

[...] Mrs. Alito has for years harbored a disdain and bitterness towards others in the D.C. elite, whom she has bashed for supposedly excluding or shunning her and her husband, and for being too mean about them and their unabashedly conservative beliefs. Sources add that Mrs. Alito also has a longstanding reputation in influential GOP circles for ranting about politics, the culture wars, the Left, and the burning grudges she’s nursed since at least the George W. Bush era.  

Rolling Stone’s report on Martha-Ann Alito’s unhinged temper tantrum about the LGBTQ+ Pride Flag and her whining about “woke liberals” is something to behold. She is just as much as a fanatical right-wing extremist as her husband Samuel is.

Seelie Court and Unseelie Court

Within the magical world of folklore and mythology, especially in Scottish and Irish customs, two opposing faerie or supernatural court groupings are known as the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. These courts are more than just collections of ethereal beings; they represent the good and evil energies that coexist in the faerie realm and represent the dualism aspect of fairy lore.

The most charitable-minded faeries live in the Seelie Court, sometimes known as the "Blessed Court." This court's name, which comes from the Old English word for "happy" or "blessed," often connotes favorability toward people. It encompasses a range of beings, including pixies, sprites, and elves, who are all renowned for their beauty and typically amicable relationships with people. Even though they may get into mischief, it's usually innocent mischief meant to teach a lesson or moral. These faeries are active at dusk and on particular celebration days, such as Midsummer's Eve. They are frequently portrayed as forces of good and protectors of the natural world, who could assist people in need, but only under certain restrictions centered around reverence for the natural and mystical realms.

The faeries of the Unseelie Court, in contrast, are less amiable and more hostile toward mankind. Being "unhappy" or "unlucky," the phrase "unseelie" refers to a group of darker spirits and animals, including bogies, bogarts, and redcaps, who are infamous for their evil activities, such as painting their hats with human blood. These faeries, who represent the darkest facets of the faerie realm, are frequently hideous and terrible. They play an antagonistic role in folklore, harming or deceiving mankind. The Unseelie Court, which stands for natural disasters and the dangerous unknown, is not time-bound like the Seelie Court. It can arise at any moment, usually during stormy or dark evenings.

Both courts have had a profound impact on Western media and literature, inspiring a wide range of fantasy-themed works. Writers such as J.K. Rowling and William Shakespeare have incorporated Seelie and Unseelie folklore into their works, demonstrating the timeless appeal of these legendary creatures. The way these courts are portrayed reflects complicated human emotions and moral quandaries, providing a rich examination of issues like good vs. evil and order versus chaos.

As such, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts are significant figures in Celtic mythology, symbolizing the range of characteristics that faeries may display. Their tales pique readers' interest and offer deeper understandings of both the human condition and the age-old conflict between good and evil, in addition to being entertaining.

In 1558 fray Bernardino de Sahagún was commissioned by the tenth provincial of the Franciscans, fray Francisco de Toral, to write about what could be useful to maintain the "Christianity of the naturals of New Spain".

Sahagún began his research and compiled, in writing and with paintings, everything related to the life and culture of the ancient nahuatl-speaking peoples of the center of Mexico: deities, parties, astrology, holes, philosophy, history of some lords, customs, flora, fauna and finally, episodes of the conquest from Mexico. This information was placed in 12 volumes written in two parallel columns: the original in náhuatl to the right and the Spanish translation to the left; and is one of the most important historical sources to know the history of ancient Mexico.

This codice is called this because it is preserved in the Laurenciana Medicea Library in Florence, Italy, it is a copy sent by Fray Bernardo of Sahagun to Rome with Father Jacobo de Testera to be delivered to the Pope in 1580.

The copy of the Florentine Code presented here was commissioned by Francisco del Paso and Troncoso, during his stay in Europe between 1905 and 1907. Currently kept in the National Library of Anthropology and History, Dr. Eusebio Dávalos Hurtado. Meet him at the INAH Media Library.

“Our conditioning as members of a consumer society prevents us from abandoning hope that, with sufficient planning, we might yet be able to see and do everything. To move slowly and deliberately through the world, attending to one thing at a time, strikes us as radically subversive, even un-American. We cringe from the idea of relinquishing, in any moment, all but one of the infinite possibilities offered us by our culture. Plagued by a highly diffused attention, we give ourselves to everything lightly. That is our poverty. In saying yes to everything, we attend to nothing. One only can love what one stops to observe. “Nothing is more essential to prayer,” said Evagrius, “than attentiveness.” ― Belden C.

11 Tips for Creating Custom 3.5 Gram Bags

Creating custom 3.5 Mylar bags sounds simple, but it's a bit of a rabbit hole once you dive in. Think of each decision as a brushstroke on a canvas. You’ve got the material, the texture, the colors, and even the personality of your brand to work with. Let's meander through some ideas to make these bags sing.

Choose Your Material Wisely

Thickness Matters: Like the skin of a ripe fruit, the right thickness can mean the difference between a bag that bursts and a bag that holds firm. Consider something thicker if your goodies need extra shielding from the elements, or go a tad thinner if cost is nibbling at your heels.

Special Coatings: Each product has its quirks; some hate the air, others shrink from moisture. Choose barrier layers that act as little invisible guards, keeping out whatever would dare harm your wares. Find someone who knows their way around barrier materials, like a seasoned tailor who knows fabric.

The Dance of Design & Branding

Brand Colors: Think of the colors as a first impression. Does your brand yell bold and brash, or does it whisper calm elegance? Colors do the talking before the customer even reads a word.

Logo Placement: Where you slap that logo—front, center, or a bit off-kilter—tells a story. Don’t just throw it on there; let it sit somewhere intentional, like a well-placed signature on a painting.

Fonts & Graphics: Want elegance? Go sleek and minimal. Need fun? Bring out the quirky fonts and punchy graphics. Don’t go overboard, though. Your bag should feel like a quick conversation with a stranger, not a full-blown argument.

Matte vs. Gloss: A Showdown

Matte Finish: Imagine a bag with a matte finish, giving off that low-key, refined vibe. You might want matte if your brand is more, let’s say, grounded and sophisticated.

Gloss Finish: Gloss, on the other hand, is all sparkle and shine. It's the bag equivalent of glitter on a dress, attracting the eye. Does your brand love a little razzle-dazzle? Gloss is for you.

A Little Peek Inside

Window Cutouts: Why make your bag a mystery? A little transparent patch lets folks peek in, tantalizing them with a hint of what lies inside. You can cut the window into shapes too—think hearts, leaves, or stars.

Partial Transparency: Leave a clear strip down one side to tease what’s hidden within. It’s a little sneaky, but in the best possible way.

Legal Labeling and Regulations—Yes, They Matter

Warning Labels & Icons: Depending on your product, sometimes you gotta be blunt. Age restrictions, warnings, and disclaimers might be a buzzkill, but they’re necessary.

Product Details: Give the people what they need: ingredients, weight, and any little tidbits required by law. You want your bags to be truthful and clear, not sketchy or vague.

Compliance Labels: Don’t get caught up in legal headaches. Make sure your bags say what they need to, especially if you’re in the cannabis industry or dealing with consumables.

Let Printing Do the Heavy Lifting

Digital Printing: Perfect for smaller orders or designs that need a few bells and whistles. Digital can handle intricate, vivid colors without a problem.

Flexographic Printing: Going big? Flexographic might be your budget-friendly buddy. It’s good for simpler designs and big batches, but not as detailed as digital.

UV Printing: This technique is a bit like painting with sunlight. UV printing brings a glossy finish to life and works well if your design needs a little extra pop.

The Closure Dilemma

Zip Locks: Resealable and reliable, like a good friend. Zip locks work wonders for those who want to keep things fresh and don’t mind the extra step.

Heat Seals: Going for that tamper-proof look? Heat seals have got you covered. The customer tears it open, and boom—it’s fresh as a daisy.

Make It Personal

QR Codes: Want a tech twist? Slap on a QR code. It adds a dash of interaction and a hint of mystery, leading people to special deals, social media, or extra content.

Metallic Inks or Foiling: Who doesn’t love a touch of shine? Metallics give off a luxe vibe and make the bag look like it’s got a story to tell.

Interactive Packaging: Step into the future with augmented reality, perhaps. Imagine your bag springing to life with a quick phone scan.

Get Samples—It’s Worth It

Ordering samples sounds like a small thing, but it’s a game-changer. It’s like test-driving a car. Here’s what to look for:

Material Feel: Touch it, bend it, see if it stands up to your standards.

Print Quality: Make sure colors aren’t faded or fonts aren’t wonky. You don’t want your beautiful design butchered.

Functionality: Test that zip, peek through the window, and see if the bag actually works for what you need.

Which Wall Art Styles Can Change Your Living Area?

Wall art is an effective way to give your home a makeover, inject individuality, and provide a unified look. The appropriate pieces may express your personal style and improve the aesthetics of your house. For example, a harmonious effect may be achieved by combining wall art with complementing furniture, such a mosaic side table. Here are some popular wall art designs to take into account while furnishing your living area.

1. Paintings without borders

Abstraction is the use of color, form, and shape to express thoughts and feelings without actually depicting the outside world. This design may produce a vivid center point for your living area. For a more relaxing impression, go for gentler color palettes or dramatic pieces with rich hues that enliven the space.

2. Wall of Gallery

A gallery wall creates a customized presentation by combining different art forms, sizes, and frames. Combine prints, paintings, and photos that speak to your passions and life experiences. You may express yourself creatively and quickly adapt this varied approach as your interests change.

3. Prints of Botanicals

Botanical prints are a classic way to bring the outside inside. These pieces of art can be anything from delicate sketches to striking, large-scale photos of flowers and plants. They not only give your living area a modern feel, but they also encourage calm and a feeling of being connected to nature.

4. Designs using Geometry

Geometric wall art has curves and patterns that give it a contemporary, lively vibe. This design offers structure and balance, making it suitable for minimalist or modern settings. To add interest without detracting from the clean design, look for items with a variety of hues.

5. Photography in Black and White

Since black and white photography is timeless and adaptable, it may fit into any type of décor. This classic style gives your room elegance and depth. Think of using black and white frames for landscape or family portraits to create a stylish, cohesive effect.

6. Art using Textures

Your living area gains dimension and tactile appeal with textured wall art. These can be three-dimensional objects composed of cloth, metal, or wood. The senses may be stimulated and a powerful focal point created by textured art.

7. Combination of Media

Mixed media art creates one-of-a-kind, multilayered creations by fusing different materials and processes together. Each work created in this style is sure to spark conversation since it incorporates components like paint, cloth, and found things. For individuals who like to exhibit their individuality and inventiveness, mixed-media art is ideal.

Conclusion 

Selecting the ideal wall art style may have a big influence on how your living room looks and feels overall. The secret is to choose pieces of art that speak to you and blend in with your current décor, whether your style is for striking abstract pieces, serene flora prints, or eclectic gallery walls. You may make a room that seems welcoming and represents your own style by carefully choosing your wall art.
