I’ve been waiting 2 years for an affordable listing for this outfit, and three weeks for it to arrive after some Complications, and it was so worth the wait! She’s so cute! I want a me-sized version of this outfit. I want a me-sized version of all the Tammy outfits. It’s a Pizza Party outfit, but I think she looks like a jester.

Also it came with this pizza:

And two of this skirt:

Also! Have photo of Tammy in her base outfit, because she’s just so cute:

I kind of want to get a second Tammy so one can always wear the blue outfit and the other can always wear the jester outfit. Maybe if I come across one at the thrift store or something.

following this up with more random deadloch thoughts:

-love when dulcie was like "this doesn't fit because sky is an obsessive anally retentive perfectionist and i know this because it is what drew me to her as a friend"

-"and you are a cunt james!" with sven's eyebrows going up in the background wow

-i love watching now, knowing everything, and finding all the random little details

-again abby's joy about forensic science and dulcie and eddie encouraging her and their collective hatred of james hhhhhh i love it

-miranda's conversation with her aunt has not stopped replaying in my brain and i definitely have thoughts about it and regarding affirmative action type things and the different attitudes towards it and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "you don't need a leg up. you have two legs"

-skye's "it's possible to want them dead and NOT KILL THEM" god it's so visceral

random deadloch thoughts because this is apparently my comfort show now:

-love how in episode 5 we learn that dulcie comes from a religious background and eddie (along with the audience) has that Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay i get it now moment

-also appreciated them showing how destructive the invasion of mike's house was

-fucking love abby so fucking much and i love seeing her reconnect with sharelle a little and like reconnect with her passion for forensic science and slowly reach the conclusion that she deserves better than james

-episode 6, dulcie is losing her mind about the whole situation and basically being non-responsive and eddie is like "guess i'll write on the white board then" and THAT"S what gets dulcie out of her spiral and eddie kind of smiles to herself behind dulcie's back because she knew that would work idk i'm so obsessed with that

-also just love how cozy eddie is in all her fleece jackets it's a great look

what makes me like Jonathan and Alanna's relationship/friendship so much is just the fact that they're peers.

There's a lot to be said about our beloved Tammy and her penchant for deeply questionable age gaps, but I won't say them because despite everything my ideal of love remains daine/numair and thus I can't criticise them to save my life. but to Alanna, all of her loves are older than her. George is 17 to Alanna'a 10, Liam is 34 to Alanna's 19/20, Jon is 18 when Alanna is 14.

George is a teacher as much as a friend, he teaches her to pick locks, wrestle, use a knife, pick pockets, how to walk among thieves and keep her purse on her and how to know who to trust and who not to. He shows her unselfish love, he shows her how gentlemen treat their ladies, he treats her like a friend and like the most beautiful woman alive. George is a Teacher.

Liam teaches her how to hold her own without a weapon in her hands, shows her how nice it is to flirt and flit without sneaking about. He also teaches her to never sever a part of herself to suit a man, and that love is important but if the love isn't for all of you it isn't love at all.

and then she's home with Jon. Jon who she couldn't look into the eyes of as a page but who she would chase him to the realm of the black god if she had to, Jon who fought Gary to get her as a squire, Jon who held her when she was afraid and who was the first one to show her love.

Jon who acts like a child when things don't go his way, who would flirt with a crazy girl to get on her bad side, who has a temper that can rival her own.

When Alanna is with Jon, she isn't with a teacher, he isn't older and smarter, he's as young and foolish as her. he rages and throws fits and apologises sloppily and he loves her just as much as she loves him.

Jon is never truly something bigger than himself with Alanna, because she was the one who saved his life from his cousin, because he is the one who dragged her into a death trap of old gods and survived, because she is the one he disregarded direct orders to save from tusaine, because they're best friends more than anything else in this world and not even screaming matches and world ending spats can break them.

That's why i love them so much, because they're peers, and that friendship makes them stronger than any other champion and king in history.

i mean this completely genuinely because i havent been paying attention recently and feel like i may have missed something so i just want to clarify (and possibly learn something) and youre under no obligation to answer due to the very nature of this ask but! tammy is now cameron? is this like, a regression of sorts? is it a character arc thing? i know it might have to do with you coming to terms stuff but were you on estrogen before and now on T? im very confused

cameron isn't me anymore! after nyan supersceded him as my sona, i kept him around as an oc that i then slowly retooled as i changed his personality and characterization that was no longer parallel with me. it led to me being able to come up with a long-term character arc that i think paid off really well!

i myself have never been on hormones; cameron is afab and was initially conceptualized as a more idealized girly hot furry babe but over time that pivoted away.

FAMILY PAPER DOLL MONTH

In 1962, Ideal Toy Company created the Tammy Doll in competition with Mattel’s Barbie. While Barbie was a fashion model, Tammy was “the girl next door”. Ideal also created dolls of Tammy’s Family: Mom, Dad, brothers Ted and Pete and sister Pepper.

Whitman released a booklet of Tammy Paper Dolls in 1964, depicting the whole family. I think the artwork here was a better design than the dolls themselves.

Tammy Pepper (1962)

I see a lot of people talk about how they wouldn’t be upset if ronance was endgame but they would prefer Nancy to be on her own, and while that’s totally valid, I just wanna quickly shine a light on something.

Nancy does need sometime of her own, so much crazy stuff has happened that she just wants to keep atleast something the same. In this case, that’s Jonathan. She knows it’s probably best they break up, and so does he, but they’re both scared of what that means and afraid to add any more dread to their crazy lives.

So yes, Nancy needs time to reflect and be independent and truly find herself, however people often forget the exact dynamic Robin and Nancy have.

Robin and Nancy don’t rely on eachother, they are both strong, independent, intelligent women. When they paired up throughout season 4, it was always helping eachother, backing, and empowering one another.

There was never dragging the other down once they knew how the other worked and their strengths. They quickly realized working together allows them to join their strengths to become a power duo.

The comparison between jancy and ronance as detective duos is quite clear. Nancy is constantly having to fill Jonathan in or he’s doubting her ideas or plans. Robin is adding to Nancy’s ideas and sometimes a step ahead.

If Robin and Nancy were to be together, it’s not to be the same as her past relationships. Nancy isn’t going to be trapped in an expectation, she’s still going to be independent, learning, and not have to worry about doing what she desires because she thinks it might affect her partner, she’s not going to be doubted in anyway, they will be stronger together. Not hold eachother down.

Nancy needs to be free. But that doesn’t mean she has to be single. It’s seemed that way because she’s felt trapped in her relationships throughout the show, but ronances dynamic is different. That’s what makes them stand out so much.

Robin sets a side of Nancy free, and that was hard for Nancy because she just try’s to make sure that everything is “perfect” but Robin knows it isn’t, and she’s patient to let Nancy open up and share her thoughts and ideas, she wants Nancy to lead her own life, to do things when and how she wants to.

It’s apart of what she liked about Tammy Thompson, “she has dreams!” Is what she had told Steve when he had mocked Tammy’s career choice.

Nancy has dreams too. She’s determined, focused, and dedicated.

While Steve doesn’t appear to be very aware of this given his ideal for their future to be 6 kids and stereotypical life, Jonathan is aware of this, and it’s exactly why he wants to break up.

He said it himself, Nancy would rather give up her dreams to be with Jonathan, than to live them out and he can’t be what she needs to follow those dreams. Nancy is is dedicated to her dreams but also the ones she loves. She puts them above everything else, constantly risking her life to save others.

Nancy’s relationships have trapped her, but a relationship doesn’t have to be a cage, it can be the key to escape one. To break free. From Hawkins, from their fears, from societal expectations.

Ronance being endgame wouldn’t mean Nancy doesn’t get what she would being single, it just means she’d have someone right there helping push her further, supporting her every step to success and happiness.
