So one of the things people forget about Star Trek TOS is that things were very different in the 1960s--when this show came out, and I was a toddler and watched it with my dad.

The costume designer for Trek, William Ware Theiss, was one of those people who was brilliant at Getting Shit Past The Censors, which was much, much harder than it is today. There were all sorts of rules about what parts of an actress' body were allowed to be visible that do not exist today and did not exist at any time in which most of you reading this were involved with media fandom. This was the era in which bikini bottoms came up to your elbows because they wouldn't show a female navel on TV--if you look at most of the costumes on "hot" female characters, the navel was always covered, even if it meant having some truly odd fabric placement.

A good example would be the dress in the centre picture on the bottom row, from "For the World is Hollow And I Have Touched the Sky" which was also notable for letting Dr McCoy be the one who got the girl (and lost her, not because they hated women but because they couldn't afford to keep adding all Kirk et al's many gfs to the cast permanently lol). That is in fact Natira - the girl McCoy got.

And, while you could do cleavage all you wanted, the underside of the female breast was 100% a no-no.

Theiss took all these rules as a challenge and set out to create some of the sexiest outfits possible under the rules. In "Who Mourns for Adonais" there's a pink draped dress and the part that covers boobs is held up only by the weight of the train/cloak that's hanging over the character's shoulder. Oh, look, there it is in the centre pic out of the 9 smaller ones! Much more impressive than Bill Shatner's sparkly mini-toga.

Sadly, he died of AIDS in 1992 (and was probably queer) and it's sad to think about what Trek costuming might be like if Theiss had been allowed to go wild under relaxed censorship.

(Keep in mind, he did keep characters looking professional when that was what they were doing--the miniskirts look a bit OTT nowadays, but in 1966 it was a really big deal, and there were shorts under them, btw.)

hate people who don't like the outfits in old trek. they're literally the height of fashion fuck you

I don’t know what to do—I have to trust someone—I don’t know who to trust

massive, massive props to aabria for this episode (here at this point and after!!)…to all of them really, but it was about here that I was driving yesterday morning and had to frantically try to hold the image in my head for the rest of my commute. I only kind of succeeded but it is what is. wow. what an episode

IT'S STILL JAN 12TH

HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY TO DRV3!!

(click for better quality as usual)

I drew a thang for the game!! game from 2017!! 8th anniversary!!

but seriously, I'm never sure how to caption my (few) art posts so I'll just say; v3 is such a astounding and honestly life-changing game that I could never be more grateful for playing- it definitely has it's rough edges, but at its core, it's just such a wonderful piece of art that I can't really find it in me to care that much

but yeah! this took way longer than it should have to make (hence why I am posting it this late on the bday) but I just wanted to make something for the game of all time

and uh

extra goober I totally didn't neglect to add under the cut

(I put it in tags already but, yes I did miss kiibo too and I will add him tmrw when my hand isn't absolutely fucking dead

sorry keeboy </3 smh I was being an airhead)

Breaking my no drawing streak with some p4 girls

I started this idea in the beginning of March, thinking about the cherry blossoms (and the song "Cherry Blossom Girl" by Air), but i only finished it now.

Yukiko's beauty and also her persona are perfect for this idea.

It may be a bit delayed now, but at the same time, it's still spring season 🌸

I made a little comic/doodle based on the drawing too

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

pov Donnie found out the results of the autismswagsummit semi-finals and got a little too confident about it Good thing Raph's there to keep him in line and remind him what good sportsmanship looks like (Also, I know Papyrus was included in the finals, but the joke worked better without adding him in. He's there in spirit)

The moral of the arcane season two act three is that if you're suicidal you should just go ahead and kill yourself

[dykedvonte]

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?

What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.

Some thoughts about the mouthwashing fandom and some character analysis(?) under the cut.

While the game is clearly meant for older audiences (14+ at least, from my understanding, although I couldn't find an official age rating), the fandom is flooded by kids and teens too young to even play the game or understand the characters and actions they take.

The game deals with some very upsetting themes. From murder and suicide to self harm and sexual assault (some more prominent than others). While it's totally fine if someone feels uncomfortable with any of these themes, that doesn't erase them from the game and shouldn't discourage people from showing them in the fandom. If it's truly that upsetting to someone I would recommend they go into some other fandom (at least where the source material is not as triggering to them). We are here to have a good time, not a stressful one.

The fandom is this twisted 'happy/nothing bad happens' and everyone is turning a blind eye to how disturbing and disgusting the game was.

Don't get me started on the treatment Jimmy goes through. Yes, he is a terrible person for what he does in game but 1: he was clearly mentally unwell* (I'll add to that later), especially after a point and 2: 'fandom Jimmy' literally did nothing wrong (unlike cannon Jimmy), his depictions in the fandom is him being brutally murdered or just existing.

*It's not only implied in game that he's mentally unwell, we literally see him descent into madness by the end. From the beginning (him refusing to cooperate for the phyc evaluations), to the breakdown he was having after he navigated the ship to crash into a meteorite, to him having hallucinations (the graveyard, the cake scene with everyone gathered etc).

Also Curly, damn. I get it that he enabled Jimmy's actions to a degree but are we forgetting Swansea also stood there and did nothing? He said Anya was telling him 'all sorts of things' (implying the SA from Jimmy) yet he still did literally nothing, not even attempt to talk to him. Curlys worst sin was him being a realistic and complex character. Having a personal crisis about his own future and fulfilment in life, trying to navigate the whole 'pony express is closing' with an unhappy crew, having to help Anya who was having basically a breakdown and was on a high risk of hurting herself with the gun, having to confront Jimmy about the whole affair (it was implied that he didn't know from the beginning that the pregnancy was not only unwanted but also forced), trying to help an old friend. It all piles up. He could have handled things better, sure, but to pretend he is equally as bad as Jimmy is just wrong and shows the lack of judgment, understanding and overall empathy of realistic characters and situations.

Neither Curly nor Swansea did anything drastic because there was nothing they could do. Curly was trying to help everyone in his way, too blinded by their friendship to acknowledge or predict what Jimmy was capable of before it was too late.

Personally I think mouthwashing is an excellent game, definitely one of the best I've ever played. The story, the way the events take place, the characters, the imagery, the music. The way it successfully builds up the uneasy atmosphere without any jumpscares, embracing the 'psychological horror' element to it's fullest. Truly a great game, I just wish the fandom was a little more 'mature' (mentally wise).

Do you think someone ever gets too close to romana or tries to touch her and she just on instinct elbows or kicks or punches them because she’s used to touch being a bad thing
