#dress sense

*looks down at my nondescript blue hoodie*

I feel called out

I have no intention of fitting in anywhere.

Because if I do, the shitheads who bully me for being different will always move their metaphorical goalposts.

They’re predictable like that.

But!

I need to change my fashion sense.

Not to be like all the other vulgar idiotic “lads” out there.

I just don’t want to be seen to look like a middle aged divorced snail.

I need to start dressing GAYER but I don’t know how!

Like what you like. Be who you are and who you want to be.

Just - make sure to pack at least one blazer or one power suit top, for the ladies. Adding a few graphic-less tees for the occasional Stickler-facing day. If you're feeling up to it, figure out how to enliven your typical gray Business Casual outfit with nerd accents. Add a Trans Pride pin on your lapel or wear Battlestar Galactica socks under your Oxfords.

From what I've found, there's about 80% of life in general where you can just be yourself, but there's always a few places where relegating who you truly are to suggestions is a really useful survival skill. Some places impose a certain perception of professionalism, so it's generally safer to sprinkle "straight" dress codes with a few cues. Like Tumblr's own shoelace-centric meme proves, there's something fun to having just one marker of nerdery on your person and finding the one person who gets it at first glance.

Personally, I go for a Nerd Cred shirt under a blazer when I have to visit clients, and sometimes put on a decent conversation-starter as a wallpaper on my smartphone.

be free!!

A self indulgent Koala redesign :)

Going for something cute that has the ability to look normal among mid to upper class civilians in case she needs to mingle with nobles, but just a bit more militaristic and practical for fighting! Thinking of doing a layer by layer breakdown for her outfit as well

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

Aesthetics

"No, you don't quite get it, I'm sorry," I tell one of my Gay colleagues. "My liking Walt doesn't mean I'm likely to invest in three-pieces myself; I just honestly like the way a good three-piece looks on him, and he knows it. He, at the same time, likes my blazer-plus-tee-shirts getup. I'm the Cool Teacher he never had, and he's the Car Salesman I've always fantasized about. Black neckties, red vests, black suit jackets? God, fuck, please, yes. Dude's like a vaguely Gothy obese librarian, lately, and it ticks all my buttons."

They're a bit confused. "I thought all gay couples turned into sartorialists."

First off, I'm bi. Secondly, all that matters to me is that I not look baggy in front of prospective clients. As long as nobody from any dealership or manufacturer branch has to see my face on a webcam, it's baggy tees under a blazer, with the occasional flatcap or fedora to keep the bald spot insulated. As for Sarah, she's been in full-on Halloween Hygge since the move, and all three of us appreciate the occasional rustic fleece pattern. If we were image-conscious, I wouldn't parade my Nerd Cred around and Sarah wouldn't treat our throw pillows like extensions of her desk.

Kitty was from Gotham.

So! Kitty was on her way to her old hometown to see what ever happened to her Dad.

See, she used to live in Gotham with her dad, mom nowhere to be seen of course, before running away to be with Johnny and subsequently dying.

She thought it would be better for her dad, not having another mouth to feed on a tight budget and not having to deal with their constant arguments every day. Looking back on it though, that might not have been the best idea. She hadn't even left a note, and for all they argued he did care about her enough that her disappearance would distress him.

But that was fine, she was going to check up on him right now!

He wasn't dead yet, she knew that much thanks to the Kid letting her access the Records of the Realms, but there was apparently some kind of Complications with his File which made it hard to pin down exactly how he was doing and where he was. So right now she was just wandering the streets of Gotham looking for him.

And guess what? No she still hadn't found him yet, he was suprisingly hard to track down. But she did find her apparent BROTHER!

Yeah, apparently sometime after she ran away, he had gotten himself another kid! He was too old to have been a bio kid so it was probably an adoption, but he definitely had a Connection to her Dad, the same kind that all parents and their kids have on their souls.

Well, if he adopted a kid that was fine by her, after all she always wanted a little brother (the Kid didn't count yet), but she kinda wished she had known before now!

She was gonna go introduce herself!

...

Tim was having a very weird day.

Well, it was a normal day for the most part. It became a weird one when a teenage girl walked up to him and introduced herself as his Sister, asking where their Dad was.

This wouldn't have been too distressing, Tim looked fairly average by the standards of Gotham and it would be easy to mistake him for another person with black hair and blue eyes.

The Distressing Part was that the girl in question had green hair, paper-white skin, and blood-red lipstick all covering a face he knew all too well. He saw it every time he had a nightmare about that night.

This Girl was the Joker's Daughter.

[demigods-posts]

i need a scene in season two when percy and annabeth go to save grover. and before the fight commences. percy and annabeth pause to tell him that they genuinely think he looks so pretty in that dress. and grover thanks them and tells them to focus on keeping him alive or he'll wear this dress to his funeral.

max verstappen is so funny because every picture you see of him NOT in redbull merch is either him a) drunk out of his mind [probably in a t shirt with weird shit written on it] or b) in a tux and bow-tie [it also seems to be the only tuxedo he owns, despite being a multi millionaire]
