We have always had a particular place in our hearts for ethnic clothing. It's more than just clothing; it's a reflection of our cultural heritage, identity, and values. From traditional attire steeped in history to contemporary styles that blend tradition with modernity, ethnic wear has undergone a fascinating evolution. This journey from the past to the present showcases how ethnic wear has adapted to changing times while preserving its essence.

One of my biggest frustrations is how (mostly) white pple often wilfully misunderstand the concept of cultural appropriation becos they want to wear the "pretty (ethnic) dress".
Like, take the cheongsam/qipao for instance. To the average lay White person, it's a "pretty dress", a costume to wear for a party. But the dress itself comes with centuries of history, marking the evolution of fashion for Chinese women and how it's shaped by war, colonialism, globalisation and political revolution.
And White women can wear the cheongsam/qipao without having to worry about the cultural, socio-historical baggage that comes with it. On the white body, which is seen as the default, these White women get to be seen as beautiful without having to worry about being dehumanized as a result of racial fetishization and sinophobia.
As Jenny Zhang writes in RACKED:
What I wanted to say was how it felt to grow up in a country that indicated to me everything from the country I was born in looked good on anyone but me. This trap made me think the classmate in the hallway making fun of my Chinese last name while sporting a Chinese character tattoo above her ass, was the person I had to defeat, when, in reality, we belonged to the same world — a world that said that Chinese culture looked best as an accessory on a white person. In this world, a qipao was a garish costume on me, but a polyester cheongsam mini-dress on a white girl was adorable.

THE MODERN DESCENDANTS OF THE ZONAI
In my last post I explained how the game tells us that the Zonai came to Hyrule from somewhere else, and eventually disappeared, leaving just two Zonai behind.
There are only two possible explanations for why they disappeared.
1: They went back to where they came from. Pretty simple. 2: They died out. This is the possibility we'll be looking at.
There are two forms of extinction. Extinction as you probably know it, in which the species just dies out, and "Pseudoextinction" in which the species dies out, but in doing so has given rise to an entirely new species, either through evolution or mass breeding with a compatible species.
We know that Hylians and Zonai were sexually compatible, as Rauru; a Zonai, married Sonia; a Hylian, and started what would become the Hyrule royal family. Though never seen in game, they have surely reproduced by the time Zelda is sent back in time, as she is their descendant, both of their unique magical abilities, light and time, residing within her.
Another potential example of Zonai/non-zonai breeding is the nameless ancient hero, who appears to be Zonai, but his unique Zonai features are somewhat diminished, even lacking the Zonai's third eye entiely.
Oh yeah, Zonais have 3 eyes. Forgot to mention that. Its actually pretty important. The Zonai certainly think it is. The Zonai 3rd eye is very prominent in their artwork and fashion, and in armor and clothing made by Zonai to be worn by non-zonai, importance is given to this region of the head
In fact, when Ganondorf obtains a sage's stone, he places it on his forehead, possibly to mark himself as an equal to the Zonai, a people who the land dwellers once saw as gods. But getting back to the subject at hand here... What if the Hyrulean royals and the nameless ancient hero aren't the only examples of Zonai/Hylian interbreeding?
Here we see Rauru, a pure-blooded Zonai male His hair is naturally white, and he has a 3rd eye in the middle of his forehead. The eye is adorned with gold around the edges of the eyelid. When opened, and couple with the marking on the ridge of his nose, the 3rd eye takes on a very familiar appearance
Do you see it?
Here let me just...
Do you see it now?
I don't believe that the Zonai returned to their own world. I don't believe that all but two of them got sick and kicked all their buckets. I believe that the Zonai interbred with local Hylians to the point that the Zonai themselves, who likely already had a smaller population than the Hylians, vanished, and after further generations of breeding with more pure-blood Hylians, a new type of Hylian almost completely lacking Zonai features rose up in their place, co-existing with regular Hylians. I believe that group to be none other than...
The Sheikah. The importance placed on their bizarre eye symbol. The way their leaders wear that symbol in the center of their foreheads, representing a 3rd eye, which we now know is a literal trait of Zonai. Their penchant for advanced technology. The naturally white hair from birth, and the unusually long life spans despite being classified as Hylians*. I believe strongly that the Sheikah are the closest living descendants of the Zonai. This could also explain why the Sheikah are so dedicated to the Hyrulean royal family, because at its deepest roots, the royal family is as much Zonai as it is Hylian.
*In character logs, Sheikah are listed as "Hylian (Sheikah)" indicating that they're an ethnic group and not a separate race.

Understanding human prehistory is extremely important, and it should be taught in schools. I genuinely think a lot of persistent and irritating issues would be somewhat mitigated if prehistory was more commonly understood.
The issue of race really gets put into perspective when you understand what a genetic bottleneck modern humans are. That we are not only all one species but all one subspecies. That we all ultimately descend from dark-skinned Africans, with light skin evolving relatively late. Similarly, the idea that any one ethnicity is more or less intelligent falls apart when you learn that full human intelligence evolved before modern humans.
Evolution would also become less touchy if more people actually understood that we are the last in a long line of human species rather than directly descended from apes.
There would be less trendy diet bullshit if we all had a basic understanding of how our prehistoric ancestors ate. No "humans are herbivores" if you know that even the earliest humans were eating meat. No raw meat bullshit if you know that humans have been cooking since Homo erectus and that we as a species evolved to eat cooked meat. There's even a theory that more easily digestible cooked meat freed up energy that allowed our brains to get as big as they are!
You're less likely to waste your time looking for shit like Atlantis, Mu, or Lemuria if you know about actual sunken landmasses like Doggerland, Sahul, and Sundaland.
Also, the unga bunga caveman stereotype is bullshit and ultimately rooted in racism. Prehistoric people did not live in caves, and they didn't only wear crude furs. They lived in houses like anyone else, and some wore very elaborate clothing, as in this reconstruction of the Gravettian culture by Libor Balák:
We can distinguish distinct cultures going back to the early paleolithic based on what art, jewelery, or tools they have left behind.
Not to mention, there are many cultures that have retained a paleolithic way of life into modern times, like the Sentinalese:
Note that not one person in this photo is dragging a club or a woman by her hair.
It's just a really fascinating and important subject, and more people deserve to know more about it.

Catman Worldbuilding Brainstorming
I’m bored and wish to brainstorm more ideas about what a world where catmen existed alongside Homo Sapiens would look like.
Western Society known now vs a western society that was conceived alongside catmen would differ for sure.
This is an open pool of my ideas and then anyone who wishes to add on can.
If western society didn’t changed (aka: modern western society)
- I am 100% sure it would just be crazy ass speciesism. People would use the same tactics used by racists but apply it to catmen and because they *are* different species, the see that as proof of their racists explanations being true.
- 🥲all the racist Christian’s who would say shit about man being made in god’s image and “god wasn’t a cat so you are frowned upon in his eyes” or some shit.
- Not to mention how Catmen (female or male) will look like a mlm relationship to humans.- also shit about catmen being born with fangs and claws and them being “uncivilized” for having animal characteristics. They would be seen as dangerous just because of how they’re born.
- efforts to hide tails, claws, paws, ears, or other feline features would likely be done; like wearing concealing clothes or trimming fur and whiskers.
- ^ adding to this: in the efforts to conform with western binary gender, catmen may ham up nonexistent differences between their sexes. Depends on if the catmen are in a group that values the gender binary forced upon them, of if they’re in a group that intentionally disregards binary gender.
That’s a lotta really depressing shit. But let us consider what if the jointed evolution of the two resulted in a more accepting society…
Alternate Universe Western Society:
- Catmen exist /migrated anywhere humans settled and traded so there would be differences across the world, hence why I focus on western society. My history knowledge isn’t incredibly detailed, hence why this is not going into a lot of specifics
- the main visual distinguishes between Catmen and humans is the cat features and the lack of sexual dimorphism.
- A society with these normalized would result in a wider acceptance of genders, sex, and visual looks (I would hope. Historically, just because two cultures differ doesn’t mean they’ll come shake hands and become buddies).
- btw, Catmen was a term given to them by humans. I don’t have a name at the moment for what they would have referred to themselves. Considering they live around the world, I am sure they too would take up a nationality-centric identity as opposed to labels that identify them as a member in the collective species. A little like how humans don’t say “ah, well I am a human!” to other humans. They say “I am *insert nationality, ethnicity, group or etc.*”
- catmen gender in their society likely differed from being binary. They lack sexual dimorphism and had no reason to draw lines between the sexes (that is unless they wanted to make a mountain out of a mole hill in relations to which sex carried the baby). Because of his, I bet gender fluidity, genders that would be outside of the western gender binary, would be common place.
- the diversity in appearances would surely create tension between human and Catmen even in this AU west society. Look at our own society, being distinct lead to stronger in vs out grouping which snowballs.
- but to inject some hopecore into this, let’s say Catmen and human interaction led to a better understanding of accommodating people’s bodies and wishes.
- ex: kids are taught to not touch catmen ears or tails without asking. It is also frowned upon to ask a catmen stranger “can I touch your fur?”
- Another ex: there are clothes and hats made to accommodate ears, tails, and claws. Toddler clothes are durable so the kids don’t tear the fabric as they get used to their claws and retracting them.
- being gay is hopeless less frowned upon. 🥲 catmen can present themselves very androgynous so at the very least, relationships and bonds between those who don’t resemble human male and female pairings would be normalized through exposure.
Misc additions and world building:
- to tie this AU back into RDR2 (if you aren’t aware, this is world building for a rdr2 AU), catnip/catmint could be a deadeye thing. It can be interpreted as calming the hand of twitches or energizing the cat and making them quicker at firing. So… maybe humans try catnip (to no effect).
- catmen across the world would of course differ, but in the west, catmen social groups are mostly familial with a loose collection of loners that join. There is no strongly defined hierarchy, it’s a group come together to help with hunting and survival. The offspring of a family often leave to join or create new colonies.
- ^ this idea can explain why being a loner / joining a group you’re not biologically related to is more normal. Society is so stringent on in and out groups, but perhaps catmen values can make the barriers for entry or exit from a group less barbed.
I’m running out of ideas and have a headache but yeah. Feel free to add on and have a conversation with me.

Maybe this was in the online digital Nimona artbook before it went offline, but I didn't pay attention to the costume design rules for all the people in the Kingdom, until this video "Visual Storytelling: The Production Design of 'Nimona'" by Gnomon (from which I screencapped all these pics).
It's interesting to consider how these clothing design rules symbolized Ballister's and Ambrosius's positions in society, but also might have reflected bits of their personalities.
"So we first approached it by a very anthropological approach, where we sat down and said, "if this world was to actually evolve in a closed setting, behind these walls, from the medieval, in this kind of fear-based world, how would society evolve from the medieval rules? And how would that work?" So we researched the medieval rules and found that there was the distinction between, you know, nobility and citizenry, and then non-citizens. And so that was a good place to start for us, to say of "How do we organize this massive pool and system of crowd characters? but in a---in a getable way, that also relates to our story and expresses this world that we're doing?""
The Institute:
Nobility:
"So we broke we broke it down into contemporary, um, a contemporary ideology, where our main---our nobility was much more based on, um you know, haute couture rules, where we were---they were simple. They were bold. They were evolution of the kind of royal colors and sumptuary laws that the medieval had, but in a modern, in a modern take."
Citizens:
"Same with the citizens, where we leaned more into broader scope, where we needed to have the ability to have business wear, and athleisure, and, um you know, the color palettes that would be associated. …The range of body types that you would need, and…the range of races and ethnicities."
The Magicals:
Interesting thing about The Magicals, is this note "NO blue or neutral grey (due to the Institute's persecution, magicals have refused to wear Institute colors)."
Ballister's regular clothes seem to be the same color palette as The Magicals. Given the order of these slides, The Magicals seem to be the lowest rank in the Kingdom's society. Previous concept art showed that the Nimona 2023 movie originally would have portrayed a secret society of people with magical powers like Nimona. I assume these costume design rules were for them, though they got cut from the final movie. It seems appropriate that though Ballister has no magical powers, he is dressed in the colors of the Kingdom's lowest societal rank. But as anyone who has drawn him has noticed, the pendant on his shirt is blue. The one color which The Magicals do not wear, because it is the color of The Institute. Ballister is a commoner trying to become a Knight of the Institute, so it makes sense for him. And though Ballister's clothes could maybe be considered shades of gray (as per The Institute), they have the same dark values of The Magicals and are actually more of the "earthy" tones, noted in The Magicals' palettes. Ballister does not wear the light, almost silver, grays of The Institute. But he does wear a blue pendant. And though his pants have a thin golden stripe running down the sides, which is another color emblematic of The Institute, on second look, it is less gold, and more of a light tan, another earthy color. Almost makes me think that after the end of the movie, maybe he should change his blue pendant to purple, since these design instructions for The Magicals also note "One subtle purple item on each magical as a symbol of resistance and solidarity". (It explains the shade of purple in Nimona's skirt.)
Interesting to look at Ambrosius's outfit, while considering these design instructions. Ambrosius does not wear the "bold" colors or high amount of patterns prescribed for Nobility. Instead, he wears white and a dark shade of blue, with mostly solid, non-patterned clothes, as prescribed for The Institute. He is their symbol, through and through. Except for one point: his hoodie's secondary color of tan. Not only is tan an earthy tone, like The Magicals, the lowest societal rank in the Kingdom, but is takes up a noticeable amount of space in his outfit. It is almost like his one little piece of rebellion against his birth position and the expectations of society for him to represent The Institute and Nobility. It may be his one expression of who he is as a person, rather than the expectations placed onto him. It's kind of interesting that they let him get away with that. Maybe he had to fight for it. Maybe it makes him feel closer to Bal. Maybe he likes the distance it puts between him and the Institute. Maybe he didn't get brave enough to start wearing such colors until after he met Bal. (Now I'm getting into headcanon territory.)
Medievals:
This was explained as the costume design instructions for the flashback characters from 1,000 years ago.

Since that anon brings out the topic about Greek Gods looking like Greek. I would like to share about my culture, well my ancestors culture. Their religion used to be Hindu-Buddhism which means they worshipped both Gods from those religion. Mind you we are neither Indian or Chinese, but at no point in time do my ancestors changes those Gods to look like them. The statues were kept the same, the Hindu Gods hold their original features, wear their cultural attire and carry their symbolism same as the Buddhist Gods. My ancestors just worship them as they were. The temples also follows the structure from the regions respectively.
We no longer follows the same religion but we still tells their mythology and lore in our local traditions and I never felt estranged at all if these Gods don't look like me or my people at present because at one point in history, they were worshipped by my ancestors and they assimilate that religion into their culture.
So how can my ancestors can worship Gods that don't even look like them, even respect the culture they come from, but modern people who only read mythology couldn't?
Every culture treats their deities differently. It is not a matter of "who can" and "who cannot". With the same logic then how can Europe embrace Christianity but Middle East cannot? Simple because that is how cultures work and it is all part of the worshipping process. Every culture has their own essences and their own history of evolution in their culture.
Greeks for once like I said before valued their culture too much even when they literally incorporate things from other cultures in their mythology or pantheon. Like I answered to the other ask, even when they literally added Egyptian gods to their pantheon they still depicted them like themselves. Even their names were changed to fit their own linguistic preferences. Not all cultures evolve the same and not all cultures have the same target points or goals.
So people in modern times randomly changing their appearance has nothing to do with Greek culture at least as ancient Greeks perceived it. You describe a process that lasted for centuries. I oppose a modern trend that has no cultural background at all in antiquity or almost not at all and it is purely based on the essence of "we do it because is our imagination". Valid arguement but culturally speaking is not what the ancient greeks did. By n large the Greeks incorporated elements from other cultures in their own but transformed them to fit their image and their standards.
But you also mention the religion of iconographic change. Who said that Greeks did not change iconography to their gods? But even those changes were done in the spectrum of their own image.
And again what you describe is something that occured to your culture naturally and the people who worshipped them chose to follow that path which of course happens. The Greeks by n large kept their own iconography based on their own ethnicity.
I believe there is a misunderstanding on the matter, similarly as to people who like inaccurate retellings say to me "I can enjoy them both so why can't you?" the same goes with here. Just because one culture did it doesn't mean all did and each culture has their own standards and their own evolving process.
I hope that answers your question
PS: Also that anon had also mentioned swaps in general including people. Not just gods and goddesses.

From top-to-bottom, society has conditioned us to think kindness is an unmitigated good. The golden rule to “do unto others as you would have others do unto you” is one of the most remembered lines of Jesus, but the lesson is near ubiquitous across both the world’s religions and secular moral philosophy. To be kind is one of the first lessons we teach our children. Our greatest works of fiction have focused on the heroism of kindness. Even our advertising frequently uses the morality of kindness to ingratiate us to brands.
But far from an unmitigated good, kindness has a dark side. The once virtuous cell of kindness has metastasized into a cancer. The evolution of kindness, manifested in the unparalleled cooperative ability of mankind, enabled the development of civilization.
In contemporary times, however, pathological kindness has become one of the greatest threats to bring about its destruction.
In the beginning, kindness was not a luxury, but a need. To escape the poverty and starvation inherent to the state of nature, humanity had no choice but to learn to be kind to each other in order to successfully cooperate and produce what they needed to survive. As the great economist Ludwig von Mises explained, “[w]e may call consciousness of kind, sense of community, or sense of belonging together the acknowledgment of the fact that all other human beings are potential collaborators in the struggle for survival because they are capable of recognizing the mutual benefits of cooperation, while the animals lack this faculty.”
“However,” Mises continues, kindness was not developed as a virtue purely in the abstract. “we must not forget that the primary facts that bring about such consciousness or such a sense are the two mentioned above. In a hypothetical world in which the division of labor would not increase productivity, there would not be any society. There would not be any sentiments of benevolence and good will.”
Kindness became a virtue precisely because it’s productive. But, in a world of abundance, kindness instead now often eats away at the resources of society. In a prosperous, advanced society where individuals have moved up Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, expressions of kindness towards those who cannot or will not help themselves has been able to develop as a dominant virtue.
Kindness towards those who cannot help themselves is indeed a virtue; anyone of us could fall into this situation through no fault of our own. But kindness towards those who will not help themselves, who seek to leech off of us rather than contribute to society’s progress, is where virtue slips into vice. Most dangerously, those who are successful at taking advantage of society’s kindness rarely admit they will not help themselves, but wear the mask of those who cannot.
When a scammer takes advantage of your kindness to profit at your expense, we all know they’re the bad guy. But when someone claims victimhood and takes advantage of you by passing laws and regulations, we’re supposed to call that the justice of democracy.
This is the politics of Leftism, from the Jacobins through classical Marxism and now wearing its more fashionable woke regalia. A class group or cultural group (including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) flips morality on its head by claiming itself as oppressed—those who cannot help themselves—and appeals to the vice of kindness to gain legal advantages over other groups and redistribute resources towards itself.
To be clear, not everyone on the Left is a manipulative leech. Numerically most will be manipulated hosts. But their manipulators fit a personality type known as the dark tetrad: narcissism, psychopathy, machiavellianism, and sadism. Amongst other traits, dark tetrad types tend to present with a sense of entitlement and a victim mentality. Studies have demonstrated a strong link between the dark tetrad personality and politically correct authoritarian behavior, which includes a belief in censorship of words and ideas deemed offensive by the authoritarian, that those who utter these words and ideas should be punished for it, and a belief that alleged perpetrators of crimes against a victim group should be treated as guilty before proving their innocence.
Distinguished evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins brilliantly explains in the video below how evolution leads to the existence of such dark tetrad behavior. A world full of kind people is evolutionarily unstable as it creates an incentive to take advantage of the productive ability of the kind masses. But if those who live by leeching off of others become dominant in society then it’s just as evolutionarily unstable, as society collapses from its inability to produce. A society mostly full of kind people, but with a few leeches, can last for the long run.
youtube
In an era where victimhood culture is becoming dominant, we are moving into unstable space. It wouldn’t be the first time such an unstable arrangement had the opportunity to destroy a civilization—just look at the Soviet Union. While dark tetrad personalities only constitute about 7% of the international population, in the contemporary West the leech’s activism appears to have led to a far larger percentage of their hosts accepting their destructive ideas. These hosts are overrepresented amongst the world’s upper classes given that being higher on Maslow’s Hierarchy provides more of an opportunity to extend pathological kindness. Rob Henderson has famously labeled this phenomenon “luxury beliefs.”
So what do we do about this problem? You read it already: it’s time to stop being kind to people. Not everyone, obviously, kindness is usually a virtue and should be extended to everyone who wishes to cooperate to build our shared society in peace and productivity, and should also extend to the many well-intentioned hosts of bad ideas who know not what they do.
But when it comes to the leeches, it’s time to cease acting as if it’s a moral virtue to extend endless kindness to those who seek to gain at your expense. Feeding their victimhood and entitlement is what provides an incentive for them to continue; like training an animal, when the rewards cease the behavior will follow.
As the French economist Fréd��ric Bastiat put it, “[w]hen, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor.”
Yes, many already express hostility and disgust towards the woke and mock them online (and sometimes in person), but how many speak of it with clarity as a moral virtue to do so? To make the leech’s hosts stop feeding them, they must understand that their overextended kindness is a moral evil.
At least one woman understood this: Ayn Rand. Rand spoke of the “virtue of selfishness,” pioneering clickbait tactics with an intentionally provocative phrase designed to grab people and force them to think, but that when explained becomes more agreeable than at first glance. “Selfishness” to Rand did not mean gaining at another’s expense, as the leeches (or “parasites," in her words) do, but acting in one’s long-term rational self-interest. That includes being kind to those who work cooperatively with us to make the world a better place, which is most people most of the time. But to be virtuously selfish, in Rand’s view, one must oppose altruism: self-sacrifice for another’s gain.
Unkindness towards those who deserve it needn’t and shouldn’t be a permanent attitude. Those willing to stop using victimhood as a weapon should be met with forgiveness. Perhaps they should even be treated with disproportionate kindness to encourage others to also give up their maladaptive beliefs. We want to reward people who stop their pathological behavior and join the cooperative harmony of human civilization. But until then, we must be brave. We must be willing to be seen as black sheep in order to fix society’s broken morality.
Don’t be kind to those who seek your destruction, and know and say loudly that you are right not to do it.
==
It's not a kindness to help people avoid living in reality. It's not kindness to lie in order to deprive grown adults of the opportunity to live in the real world.
We don't lie to the religious any more. We don't pretend to pray with them because they'd be offended otherwise. We don't say that their faith is reason enough to believe an obvious lie.
Stop letting people manipulate you into lying for their benefit.

Classification: There is a division of "us" v. "them," often carried out using stereotypes or excluding people perceived as different.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dehumanization: Those who are perceived as "different" are treated with no form of compassion or personal dignity. Dominant groups will refer to affected groups as "animals," "inhuman," or "vermin."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discrimination: The dominant group denies civil rights and even citizenship to identified groups.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polarization: Propaganda begins to incite messages of hate or fear about those perceived as "different."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Symbolization: A visual manifestation of hatred, often forcing an "othered" group to wear or carry a marker to show they're "different."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organization: Genocide is always planned. The perpetrators are trained and armed, often by the state or state actors. They begin to build up armies and stock weapons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation: Perpetrators plan the genocide. They will have organized, institutional plans to kill and will cloak it with euphemisms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persecution: Victims are singled out because of their ethnicity or religion, and death lists are drawn up. People are sometimes segregated into ghettos, deported or starved, and property is often expropriated. Massacres begin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extermination: The hate group murders its identified victims in a deliberate and systematic campaign of violence.

FIRST MEETINGS MEME A meme for first meetings and introduction threads, aka a ‘What you will notice about my muse first’ cheat sheet. Repost, don’t reblog. Bold what applies. Fill in details. (Please do not remove the credit + blank meme link)
tagged by: @sayitan ty! xx tagging: @alphateamsfinest @ubcs @disentomb (riddick) @strangercrime (charlie) @variisis (shepard) @allkilled @frensie @mrgoatman @heartsapclypse (charlotte) @pumpkinstabs @whorrcr (shepard) + everyone!!
blank meme: x
GENERAL APPEARANCE
Sex: Masculine. Feminine. Non-Binary. Notes: the turian hierarchy and its societal evolution are not particularly obsessed with gender constrictions, due to the vast and complex sexual dimorphism and subspecies diversity among their race. many “male” turians are born exclusively with cloacas, just like their “female” counterparts. many others have a cloacal phallus (including nihlus). it is entirely dependent on the turian’s native region and environmental evolution. transpeople also exist in turian society, because turians have multiple genders that vary between a vast array of turian ethnicity and subcultures. nihlus is considered masculine by human standards, but this is a concept he does not personally consign to. unsurprisingly, he is not very well-versed in human epistemology and belief systems.
Race: turian (sapient avian/raptor species native to the planet palaven).
Complexion: mahogany brown (dark).
Height: 7′1″.
Body Type: Endomorph. Mesomorph. Ectomorph. Other / More Details: lean, but not particularly gangly.
Body Build: Small. Medium. Athletic. Muscular. Soft. Curvy. Voluptuous. Other / More Details: nihlus is part of a forest-dwelling subspecies of turians who left palaven to start an independent colony separated from the turian hierarchy in 300 BCE, migrating to a garden planet in the terminus systems. they developed darker plates and thicker, flexible bodies, adjusting to environmental stressors that contrasted palaven’s irradiated biomes. the sheer physicality of nihlus’ work as a soldier (without biotics) also contributed to his athletic build, relying on speed, strength and conditioned reflexes to overpower biotic or enhanced enemies.
Body Hair: None. Shaves/Waxes. Trims/Grooms. Untamed. Color: Notes:

Scars: surgical scarring located at the base of his skull, just underneath the fringes, after recovering from a bullet wound shot at point-black range. various scars scattered across his legs, arms, and carapace from missions nihlus was assigned to as a spectre. it is difficult for turians to develop scars unless the injury is severe; a turian’s dermis or “exoskeleton” is tougher than bone, layered with an inch of metallic minerals (similar properties to radiation-resistant chemicals such as tungsten, copper, lead, etc., which accounts for the average turian’s cool or earthy complexions) that can withstand harsh radiation and debris.

Other Information: n/a.
EXPRESSION
General Facial Expression: turian facial expressions are primarily limited to their eyes, which are the most expressive parts of their face apart from their mandibles. turians communicate with their extendable mandibles and subtle head movements in the same way humans might make sweeping gestures with their arms, or small, fiddling gestures with their hands. nihlus has very expressive eyes. eyes that seem to smile or frown or bite, depending on what he’s looking at.
Default Body Language: alert, cautious, nihlus always expects trouble and always makes a point to remain calm under pressure. as a spectre, his body language depends on the company. nonthreatening to an ally or asset. and cold professionalism to his enemies.
General Movements: like many turians, nihlus is fast. at top speed, he can sprint at forty-five miles per hour. the turians’ ancestors were massive avian predators that were comparable to earth’s extinct terror birds. he moves fluidly, on strong and steady legs that evolved to pursue prey for days in dense, rugged wilderness.
NOTABLE FOR RP
Presence: surprisingly disarming, usually. dry. straightforward. but not unkind. nihlus does not engage in violence unless it is utilized as an appropriate response.
Appearance: his training with the turian military, and then with the turian spectre saren arterius, emphasized the importance of appearances and staying organized.
Scent: a metallic, sweet scent. the sweetness is due to his dextro-based biology. the faint stench of ozone, spent heatsinks and rifle-cleaning solvents.
Voice Description: the turian species have a unique language that evolved alongside their biological and behavioral evolution. their mouths have no lips, but they have complex vocal muscles and organs that allow turians to make various flanged sounds and reverberations. turians can mimic human speech to an extent, similar to corvids and parrots, but nihlus’ “human” voice is exclusively processed through his universal translator.
Accent: yes / no More information: the AI-generated “human” voice provided by his translator has a slight european accent in its english. the voice itself extrapolates key vocals from nihlus’ real voice, including his unique tones and pitch, but the european accent does not actually exist.
Speech Mannerisms: nihlus’ speech can be curt, succinct, but relatively formal and courteous. his voice is expressive, so he tends to be careful with his words and exercises restraint.
Anything else to add? n/a.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night, I'm already super into speculative biological evolution, but I'm just waking up to speculative anthropology... And as I was thinking about the Vulcan-Romulan make up question I came to a few conclusions.
From a biological point of view I doubt that Romulans and Vulcans can be considered different species and are more likely different ethnic groups (as in "races") the same way humans are all the same species, but have several different ethnic groups with their own cultures. The Romulans diverged from the Vulcans for centuries due to ideological differences, not long enough time for their groups to evolve traits that would preclude them from successfully breeding, which would make them the same species according to our current biological species concept.
Knowing that the primitive Vulcans are ancestors of the Romulans and considering that their native planet Vulcan's "climate was generally harsh, with most of the surface consisting of large deserts or mountain ranges", we can think of how cultures from analogous Earth regions developed their cosmetics, the ancient Egypt comes to mind.
Their characteristic black eye makeup, or kohl, that protected the eyes form the desert sun of Egypt, highlighted their features and had a religious significance for association with the eye of Horus and other deities. Also some ingredients in their cosmetics were super toxic and had antibacterial properties because of it, for example, the lead compounds in kohl could offer some protection against certain eye diseases. Due to all of this, make up was used by both men and women.
The ancient Egyptians would use cosmetics as defense against the natural conditions of their harsh environment at first, but later such traditions would evolve to have social and religious status. We could speculate the same about primitive Vulcans, considering how harsh the natural conditions of their planet is.
This would safely lead us to assume that the cultural trait of make up was already established before the split between primitive Vulcans and Romulans. By being apart they evolved numerous other cultural traits that would make them unique, though the make up was still common to both people...
Now, we can only speculate (as if that's not already what I'm doing this whole post lol) about what led the make up habit to be abandoned by the Vulcan men, and that should be the focus of the question since, Romulans and Vulcan women simply kept the ancient tradition intact. What made the Vulcan men stop wearing their eye-shadows and what do they thought of the custom? Would they associate such a trait with their savage era before Surak's? If so, then why Spock proudly wears his make up considering his insecurities regarding his double ancestry? I still have questions, though I have some ideas, but I wrote too much already. Thanks for reading this!
I've noticed that typical Vulcan men do not appear to wear the iconic blue shimmery eyeshadow, while Vulcan women do and with glossy pink lipstick too.
Where as it seems that Romulan men do, in fact, wear eyeshadow. It seems to be an important enough part of their culture that when they put it on Jim too when Bones disguised him as a Romulan.
But you know who also wears eyeshadow (and pink lipstick)? Mister Spock!
Like look! Their makeups literally match. It's very interesting that both Romulan men and women wear makeup, but only Vulcan women seem wear makeup (well maybe the men do too we've just never seen any). And if Romulans and Vulcans have a common ancestor, does it mean that historical Vulcan men did wear makeup? Is Spock doing ancient Vulcan makeup to prove that he's like soooo totally Vulcan? What does it all mean, am I just tin foil hatting 🤔

Trendy Kurtis for Modern Women
In the world of fashion, ethnic wear has always had a special place in the hearts of women, and kurtis are one of the most versatile and beloved pieces in every woman’s wardrobe. Whether it’s a casual day out, a family gathering, or a formal event, a kurti can be styled in numerous ways to suit any occasion. For modern women who are always on the lookout for fashionable yet comfortable attire, trendy kurtis are the perfect choice. With their variety of cuts, designs, and fabrics, kurtis have evolved to meet the style demands of contemporary women.
The Evolution of Kurtis
Traditionally, a kurti was a simple tunic worn with salwar, churidar, or leggings. However, over the years, kurtis have transformed to become more fashionable and adaptable. Today, kurtis come in various styles, lengths, and fabrics, from simple cotton kurtis to luxurious silk pieces. What makes kurtis so popular is their ability to seamlessly combine tradition and modernity, offering a stylish look that suits both formal and casual settings.
Modern kurtis are designed to complement the fast-paced lifestyle of today’s women. Whether you prefer a bold statement piece or a subtle, elegant design, there’s a kurti for everyone. From playful prints to sleek, minimalistic designs, trendy kurtis offer something for all kinds of women. Let’s explore some of the most popular kurti styles that are taking the fashion world by storm.
Popular Kurti Styles for Modern Women
1. A-Line Kurtis
A-line kurtis are a timeless favorite. Their classic silhouette—fitting at the top and gradually widening towards the hem—makes them flattering for almost any body type. These kurtis are a perfect blend of comfort and style. They can be worn with everything from leggings to palazzos, making them a versatile option for both formal and casual occasions. The simplicity of A-line kurtis also allows you to experiment with bold accessories or scarves to add a personal touch to your outfit.
2. Anarkali Kurtis
For women who prefer a more regal and feminine look, Anarkali kurtis are the ideal choice. These kurtis are known for their flare and elegance, often extending to the floor, resembling the shape of a gown. Anarkali kurtis are perfect for formal events, weddings, or festivals. The intricate designs and luxurious fabrics make them stand out, and they are often paired with dupattas to complete the traditional look. Whether embellished with sequins, zari, or embroidery, Anarkali kurtis exude timeless charm.
3. Straight Cut Kurtis
Straight-cut kurtis are perfect for women who prefer a sleek and structured look. These kurtis fall straight down from the shoulders, providing a clean and minimalist appearance. They are great for office wear or casual outings, as they offer both style and comfort. Straight-cut kurtis are available in a variety of fabrics, from cotton to rayon, making them ideal for all seasons. The simplicity of straight-cut kurtis allows you to experiment with accessories, such as chunky jewelry or a stylish handbag, to enhance your look.
4. Indo-Western Kurtis
For the modern woman who likes to blend traditional and western styles, Indo-western kurtis are a fantastic option. These kurtis typically combine traditional cuts with modern elements such as peplum tops, asymmetric hemlines, or high-low designs. Indo-western kurtis can be paired with jeans, skirts, or trousers, making them incredibly versatile for both casual and semi-formal occasions. These kurtis are especially popular among young women who want to infuse a contemporary twist into their ethnic wear.
5. Peplum Kurtis
Peplum kurtis are a great way to add a chic, modern touch to your ethnic wardrobe. These kurtis feature a fitted bodice with a flared portion that creates a peplum effect at the waist. They are flattering for women who want to highlight their waistline and add a bit of flair to their outfit. Peplum kurtis are available in various fabrics, such as silk, cotton, and chiffon, and can be styled with skirts, palazzos, or leggings. These kurtis are perfect for parties, dinners, and other special occasions.
6. Kurta Dresses
Kurta dresses are a stylish and practical way to wear a kurti in a more relaxed manner. These dresses are usually knee-length or longer and are designed to be worn as standalone pieces. Ideal for women on the go, kurta dresses provide a no-fuss yet elegant look. They are available in a variety of prints, from floral to geometric, and can be styled with sandals or wedges for a casual look, or heels for a more formal appearance.
7. High-Low Kurtis
High-low kurtis are another trendy style that is perfect for the modern woman. The hemline of these kurtis is shorter at the front and longer at the back, creating a dynamic and fashionable appearance. High-low kurtis can be paired with leggings, palazzos, or even skirts. They add a contemporary twist to traditional wear, making them a go-to choice for women who want to look stylish while staying comfortable.
Where to Find Trendy Kurtis
For modern women, shopping for trendy kurtis has become easier than ever, thanks to the rise of online shopping. Whether you’re looking for a simple cotton kurti for everyday wear or a heavily embellished Anarkali for a special event, the internet offers a wide variety of options. If you’re looking for convenience and a broad selection, you can readymade salwar kameez online to find the perfect fit for your style. Online stores often provide detailed size guides, customer reviews, and a wide range of prices, making it easier to find the right piece that suits your budget and preferences.

You can shop based on fabric, color, style, and occasion, making online shopping an incredibly efficient way to revamp your wardrobe. With doorstep delivery and easy return policies, buying kurtis online has become a hassle-free experience for women.
Styling Tips for Trendy Kurtis
While kurtis are already stylish on their own, pairing them with the right accessories and styling can elevate your look. Here are a few tips to help you style your trendy kurti:
1. Pair with Statement Jewelry
Whether it’s a heavy necklace, bold earrings, or stacked bangles, the right jewelry can make your kurti look more elegant and put-together. Statement jewelry works particularly well with simpler kurtis, like straight-cut or A-line styles.
2. Choose the Right Bottoms
The right bottom wear can make or break your look. While leggings and churidars are classic options, you can also try palazzos or skirts for a modern twist. Experiment with different cuts and styles to find what works best for your kurti.
3. Layer with a Dupatta or Stole
A dupatta or stole can add an extra layer of sophistication to your outfit. Opt for a contrasting color or a matching shade to create a balanced look. A dupatta can also be styled in various ways, such as draping it over your shoulder or wearing it around your neck.
4. Footwear Matters
Your choice of footwear can significantly impact the overall look. Traditional juttis, sandals, or heels all complement ethnic wear, but make sure to choose a pair that’s both stylish and comfortable.
Conclusion
Trendy kurtis are an essential part of every modern woman’s wardrobe. With endless styles, designs, and fabrics to choose from, there is no shortage of options to experiment with.
