This photo was taken in 1955, but similar activity could be seen in the Garment District into the 1980s. Dresses made in the factories are being wheeled to—a department store? (Macy's is in the vicinity, as were Gimbel's, Saks 34th St., Ohrbach's, and others.) Or a truck to carry them further afield?

Indentured for Life au

What has natsuo been up to since he was freed ? What have the other quirkless people done after realease ?Also how have some heroes(Like hawks) and hero students reacted to finding out that the organizatorom they served was using slave labor

Natsuo is catching up on his schooling! He's in an accelerated program and, thanks to an embarrassingly small amount of settlement money from the government, he has his own shitty little apartment in a barely tolerable area. He loves it to pieces. He isn't used to living alone, so it gets pretty lonely, but some of the other workers live close by and they come hang out pretty often. Izuku visits a lot too! He's aiming to be a nurse. Some of the others have gotten work in hero agencies for costume repair (its. ethically strained, but its the only work they know and they are happy to do it, as long as they are getting paid a fair wage.) and some others are working in activism and quirk discrimination charities.

As for reactions?

Hawks

His hands were still shaking. He'd been retching uncontrollably for what felt like hours, his hands shaking as he torn himself out of his costume. How many times had he been grateful for the hand stitched seams on his costume being gentler on his wings? For the warm leather on his googles that had already been shaped for his head, with hand written instructions for leather care tucked into the box. Fuck - he'd thought they were old fashioned for the note, not locked in a factory without so much as a fucking printer. He needed to make a public statement, the faster the better. He had to say something loudly because the HPSC had time to write his statement for him. Just. Just when his hands stopped shaking.

Endeavor

His PR team must be having a field day. Endeavor's own son, recovered from one of the factories? The man himself with nothing to say? What could he say? That he'd kept his mouth shut so his youngest son had a chance at overtaking All Might, that his youngest son could help where he failed? Ha - that'd go over well. He hoped Natsuo knew he still had a college fund. Still had a credit card in his name, a bank account his father put money in once a month, for when he was finally free. Maybe he'd take it, if it was from Fuyumi.

Iida Tenya

His brother had been upset that week. He'd come home early, corralling his parents into a meeting room and not leaving until they'd found a new costume supplier and a public statement beyond repute. He hadn't known why, not until the news story had broken that morning. Tenya had been lost, staring at the television until he was late for his train, only arriving to class minutes before the bell. He'd always wanted to be a hero. But - could he? Knowing what he knew now, about the organization he'd have to answer to?

Bakugo

His mother had screamed when she'd seen that footage of Deku, All Might carefully breaking the metal cuff around his throat. The nerd had only smiled weakly, like seeing All Might wasn't everything he'd ever wanted. He was so thin, his hands covered in small cuts, burns and blisters. He wanted to feel upset, that Deku had ruined his hero costume too - but. It was his fault. He was the one who told those fuckers Deku was quirkless, after auntie had so carefully not commited to putting anything down on paper. He and the idiots had trailed All Might once, before they knew that's who Yagi was. They'd seen the buildings, the lady with the collar. They'd put it out of their minds because they hadn't had a choice. No closure, just a creeping unease that would sneak up on them at night. Deku had been in one of those factories. Deku had been making the blast proof mesh on the palms of his gloves, the sweat wicking fabric of his winter costume, the thick tread of his combat boots. Katsuki stared up at the blank ceiling and tried not to think any more.

Goodbye, My Rose Garden

historical, romance YA

in the early 1900s, during the women's suffragette movement, a Japanese woman travels to England to meet her favourite novelist

she ends up employed as maid to a noblewoman who agrees to help her in exchange of one, perplexing request- "kill me".

angsty and melancholic, very period drama tropes- sapphic yearning, love poetry, escaping to a small coastal town, arranged marriages, the intimacy of undressing one another.

social commentary on contemporary feminist movements, class divides and prejudices about women's economic and bodily autonomy.

storytelling, women's authorship, early sensational "girls love literature" as proof of lesbian lived history

TW: period-typical homophobia, mentions of social alienation and infamy leading to the deaths of queer historical figures, suicidal ideation, threat of social outing.

Recommended for fans of: Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Fingersmith, the love letters of Vita and Virginia

the problem with my ocs is that the worldbuilding isnt a vehicle for them,,they are a vehicle for the 90 year economic agricultural decline of a fantasy nation due to a rock shortage. there is 5 sentences worth of some gay people and their very unique armor. back to rocks-

Listen I know most of the moments between Vex and Keyleth in those last 3 episodes were about setting Keyleth up with Vax and showing general friendship but a lot of those shots are also perfect for a Vexleth shipping amv do you get what I’m saying

[marnz]

look if you are writing a fantasy book set in quasi medieval times and you refer to common folk wearing “simple homespun” clothes you are then obligated to do the world building to explain the implication that there are other, industrially manufactured clothing options in medieval times. I don’t make the rules

Oh my god so I've been working on sewing these pants and the pattern was described as being "very easy." I was like great I feel I'm at an advanced intermediate so this should be no problem. WRONG. The instructions are sometimes quite unclear, prob cuz they assume you know what they're talking about. I've spent like 3 separate days trying to understand the instructions to putting in pockets. Only to realize today I did it wrong. At this point I'm so fed up i decide to just pretend the steps w the pockets aren't there and sew the seams up bc I cant take it anymore. Maybe clothing manufacturers have the right idea by never giving women pockets smh.
