Question: "I need to know... In the Missing, Strife has a Vallaslin now. What is the time difference between your story and The Missing, as originally he did not have a Vallaslin?" Patrick Weekes: "Close-ISH to real-world passage of time. Strife has been working with the Dalish for a few years (and later, in the comic, the Veil Jumpers), so he picked up the vallaslin along the way."
[source]
another momentous day in the Strife Dragonage fandom (prev) [mfw Strife lore drops / Strife is mentioned aaaa]. PW explains Strife got his vallaslin between TN and DA: The Missing.
the note on current timeline is also interesting. Three Trees to Midnight from TN seems to be set around 9:44 or 9:45. TN released in 2020. the third issue of DA: The Missing released 3 years later in 2023. that would take the time in the third issue of The Missing to about 9:47 or 9:48. add another year or so as it's now 2024 - 9:48 or 9:49. add in a lil bit more time until DA:D releases irl, and then account for the fact/caveat with the fact that it's only very approximate ("ish") and not a direct one-to-one (so it could be a bit less or a bit more, you know, like +/- 1-3 or.. whatever), and 👁️ we are getting reeaal close to the ~9:52 date given in The Eternal Flame. (which people speculate might be the year in which DA:D kicks off or thereabouts, along with speculating about the related ~8-ish year timeskip from the events of Trespasser to the events of DA:D, meaning ~10-ish years timeskip from the events of DA:I basegame to the events of DA:D). about 10 years irl between games, and to me this seems to suggest about ten years passing in-world too.
#dragon age: dreadwolf#dragon age 4#the dread wolf rises#da4#dragon age#dragon age: the missing#bioware#strife#solas#video games#dragon age: the missing spoilers#strife as companion 🕯🕯#strife dragonage i love you#is my math mathing hh#i know its very approximate/ish btw- its just fun to speculate :)#pls tell me if my math is wrong tho hh#(naruto runs towards ~9:52ish)

MFW people call my Riju cosplay "Urbosa" 😂 With her being such a big character in TotK, I'm shocked it still happens so often.
Happy 7th to Breath of the Wild💖 Thank you Nintendo for bringing Gerudos back!
I haven't worn Riju other than this 2020 shoot; and honestly the pics are PERFECT so that's fine. The moment I'm ready to do TotK Riju, I'm modifying this costume & shipping this wig back to Rose to restyle into her TotK haircut for me XD But I still haven't even played Tears yet! I played BotW 3 years after it came out, so I suspect it will be the same for Tears for me 😅

Tempo di shopping per Lvmh. Dopo l’annuncio del ritorno dell’ex Celine Phoebe Philo con il suo brand, che avrà proprio una partecipazione nel gruppo di Bernard Arnault, il colosso del lusso torna sotto i riflettori per le sue ultime acquisizioni. A partire da Off-White, il marchio di Virgil Abloh, l’eccentrico stilista alla guida della collezione uomo di Louis Vuitton. Ma anche di Etro, il brand italiano ora nell’orbita del fondo L Catterton, partecipato dal magnate francese.Leggi anche› L’eredità e il ritorno di Phoebe PhiloL’acquisizione di Off-WhiteOff-White, che ha presentato la collezione autunno inverno 2021/2022 Laboratory of Fun il 4 luglio con una sfilata-concerto aperta da Bella Hadid in mini abito di velluto blu elettrico, oggi finisce nella galassia del gruppo d’Oltralpe. Una cessione di maggioranza, al 60%, della Off-White LLC, la società proprietaria del marchio omonimo fondato nel 2013 e diretto da Virgil Abloh, guida artistica della collezione uomo di Louis Vuitton dal 2018 – nonché lo stilista più seguito del momento. L’operazione, soggetta alle approvazioni di legge, dovrebbe essere completata in 60 giorni. Bella Hadid alla sfilata Off-White AI21/22.Leggi anche› Virgil Abloh è il nuovo direttore creativo della linea maschile di Louis VuittonUn’intesa promettente per ambo le parti: la partnership infatti prevede di sfruttare le competenze del designer al fine di collaborare con altre realtà di Lvmh, anche al di fuori dell’ambito moda. «Per quasi un decennio, abbiamo costruito Off-White come marchio generazionale, in grado di sfidare lo status quo. Ora potrà evolvere grazie alla potenza di Lvmh» ha dichiarato Abloh. «Non vediamo l’ora di supportare il team nel guidare la crescita di Off-White e di lavorare insieme per portare la sensibilità unica di Virgil a una gamma più ampia di categorie di lusso» ha detto invece Arnault. Una decisione storica, considerato che Abloh si appresta così a diventare il primo uomo di colore nelle fila di un grande conglomerato luxury. Leggi anche› Com’è andata la Paris Fashion Week maschile primavera estate 2022L’investimento in EtroLvmh, che controlla quasi un sesto del lusso mondiale e ha in portafoglio marchi che vanno da Bulgari a Dior a Fendi, continua quindi la sua strategia di ampliamento del portfolio. É notizia recentissima l’acquisizione, attraverso il fondo L Catterton Europe, della casa di moda italiana Etro. La società di private equity globale, partecipata dalla Financière Agache di Arnault, prenderà una partecipazione di maggioranza al 60% nella Maison, lasciando il restante 40% alla famiglia Etro.Una finalizzazione delle trattative iniziate nella primavera 2021: «dopo quasi 55 anni alla guida del marchio, crediamo che la collaborazione con L Catterton avvierà una nuova fase di crescita e di consolidamento del ruolo di Etro tra i fashion brands più longevi e prestigiosi» ha dichiarato il fondatore, Gerolamo “Gimmo” Etro (che assumerà l’incarico di presidente della società).Operazione “svecchiamento” per il lussoConsiderato anche l’ultimo acquisto in termini di tempo di L Catterton, il marchio di sandali Birkenstock, la strategia di Lvmh è chiara: puntare sui brand più innovativi amati dai giovani da un lato, investire sul prestigio tramite l’acquisizione di marchi classici, come Etro, dall’altro. Lo scopo? Svecchiare il mondo del lusso e renderlo più appetibile che mai, soprattutto per le nuove generazioni.Leggi anche› Il gruppo LVMH ha comprato Tiffany & CoUn’operazione già in atto, confermata anche dagli ultimi movimenti in atto negli altri grandi gruppi del lusso: la quotazione in Borsa di Ermenegildo Zegna, ad esempio. L’operazione avverrà attraverso la fusione con la spac Investindustrial acquisition Corp, una società-veicolo varata a fine 2020 per portare aziende italiane negli Usa. Zegna avrà un valore iniziale atteso di 3,2 miliardi di dollari, con una capitalizzazione di mercato prevista di 2,5 miliardi: ovvero, tanti soldi da investire in nuovi progetti.Ricevi news e aggiornamenti sulle ultime tendenze beauty direttamente nella tua postaIscriviti alla newsletterLeggi anche› Buon compleanno Re Giorgio.

I found an incredibly detailed interactive map of the 2020 election results and apparently despite living in a red state in a pretty equally split city my specific neighborhood like my. Immediate Neighborhood voted 75% blue I'm like amazed by that. Also lmao most of the places I go were also pretty blue and if they weren't they were not overwhelmingly red. Mfw I keenly know where I am reasonably safe
#I have never ever ever ever felt endangered here due to being trans. Like in my immediate area#Not true in all areas. But in my immediate area and the areas I frequent I've never felt unsafe#See the problem is that tolerance and acceptance are different things#And most people in my area don't care if you're trans. Not that they're fine with it. They just don't care#A lot of people make no attempt to accommodate or care but they really don't make a big deal about it at all#Some people are supportive. Some people are more open to it & genuinely try.#The big thing though is that although it's reasonably safe it's also really lonely bc it's not just that they don't care#It's that they don't care

As a sewist who got her start in cosplay, I would love to hear about your handmade Spider-Gwen suit!
mfw i completely forgot that i ever said something about that on this blog (it doesn't help that the day this was sent i had mentioned/showed the suit to customers at my store so i was like "ah shit, did they find my tumblr??")
so yeah! i made a handmade spider-gwen suit before the pandemic. sadly, it was never completely finished. the only thing i had left to do were the legs, but i had also slightly fucked up the collar and arms so like, a month before the pandemic i decided to restart. and then the entire world shut down, i went into a deep depression that i am only just now clawing myself out of, and sadly my gwennie cosplay has sat in a box gathering dust for the last three and a half years. but lemme walk through my process anyways!
unfortunately, i can no longer find the instagram account of the cosplayer who inspired me to make my own cosplay. i don't know if i unfollowed her at some point (unlikely) or she deleted/got deleted, but in 2019 there was a fairly popular cosplayer on instagram who made her own spider-gwen costume from scratch, and posted her progress updates, which helped me out a lot!
but basically, i started with a simple spandex/zentai hero suit pattern that i bought from joanns, and modified it to fit my needs. my method for making the black/white contrast was, instead of just sewing the black and white parts together/hemming them together, i would use reverse appliqué to make it look more seamless and cohesive. you can see an early version of this here . i would make two versions of each piece for the torso -- one white, one black -- sew them together, then trim away the white and reveal the black!
it was HARD! doing a ^ turn on a sewing machine is incredibly difficult, and i had only a few months practice. but it was so much fun to troubleshoot, and when i finally got it "right" i was so happy! unfortunately, i only focused on the torso portion of my bodysuit, and not the rest (which will come up later) and once i felt like i got the reverse appliqué and the technique needed to do those harsh turns on a sewing machine, i moved on to the expensive materials.
for the fabric, i used yaya han's scuba hexagon stretch fabric in white , and then simple four way stretch fabric in a black faux leather for the black and a basic pink fabric designed for leotards for the pink undersleeves. it was pretty simple and easy to use, although very nerve wracking to make those first cuts! i also spent a LOT more time focusing on the back of gwen's suit, as i felt like in my practice run it didn't feel right. i was OBSESSED with the comics, so i spent hours just studying how robbi rodriguez drew gwen, how the lines worked, and i think i went through 3-4 drafts before i finally settled on a pattern for the back that i felt "fit".
the entire process of building what i thought would be my final suit was slow but rewarding. for the pink undersleeves, i basically made a simple square pattern, traced it on a massive swath of fabric, then went thru with puff paint and spent an hour painting the fabric! that kinda bit me in the ass when i was assembling the suit, as the puff paint was hard to sew through. if i had to do it again, i would just do the puff paint later or find some alternative method of making the blue spider lines stick out. once the torso, arms and collars were done, i sat down one day to assemble the entire upper half, and ended up with this! as you can see, it isn't the best and there's a lot i could have done the better (the entire gap at my arm pits and collar stick out the most to me) but it actually looked really good when i put it all together, i am incredibly proud of how the lines ended up, and how smoothly it all came together.
at first, i wanted to still assemble the legs together so i could have a semi-functioning suit for sakura con 2020. but i already had at least two easy/casual cosplays i could do, so my second plan was to do another attempt at a spider-gwen suit. you see, after discussing it w/ some other friends, i came to the conclusion that the problems i had with my suit stemmed from the fact that i took a pre-existing pattern and made modifications to it, when the existing pattern was not designed for that. if i was going to make a home made suit that worked, i'd either need to spend a lot of time w/ cheap fabric and pattern paper to make my own pattern, or find a pattern that could be modified to how i needed it to be without having the same problems. i then found this pattern on etsy, bought it, and began working on it. i bought new, cheap fabric, resigned myself to the fact that i'd want to do a full test of the pattern with the cheap fabric and not just the torso, and started working on it! i got the torso cut out and ready to go....
right as the world came to an absolute freezing standstill in march 2020. and sadly, despite making promises to myself again and again i haven't touched my spider-gwen cosplay since. i fell into a really bad depressive spot, lost my entire living situation, and just haven't been able to get that drive back. my commute to work is also significantly longer than it was pre-2020, so i am gone from the house for 10hrs a day and i don't really have the time i used to. i have made a promise to myself to at least start casual cosplay again in 2024, with the plans to revamp my 616 Gwen Stacy cosplay in the next couple of months (although that means having to trim bangs again -- uGH). i do not know if i will ever go back to a handmade spider-gwen cosplay, but if you want, you can always look at my highlight reel on my insta (linked above) to see the full process of me making my spider-gwen suit.
#sorry for taking so long ;-;#work has been stressful and i've been exhausted and not able to bring myself to do much#but thank you for the ask!! i genuinely did forget i had said something about the cosplay on here so i was so confused#hopefully this makes sense <3#long post#answered

Diversity of Genders
What is Gender Diversity?
Gender diversity is an umbrella term that is used to describe gender identities that demonstrate a diversity of expression beyond the binary framework. Having to choose to express yourself as male or female is constraining. Some people would prefer to have the freedom to change from one gender to another, or not have a gender identity at all. Others just want to be able to openly defy or challenge more normalized concepts of gender.
Their identity is about presenting something more outwardly authentic to the world, whether they understand themselves to be differently gendered, or have no gender at all. It is important to recognize that many cultures throughout history have recognized gender diversity beyond masculine and feminine.
It is important to feel comfortable with what you look like and what outfit to wear that also represents your style. Representing the LGBTQ+ is a big thing that is still rising to this day to show the diversity through Gender and be proud for who they are.

Milan Fashion Week- Gucci
Gender fluidity is not just Harry Styles in a feather boa. It can also be a woman in an elegantly oversized double-breasted trouser suit, like the model who opened Gucci’s first Milan fashion week show in two years.
This collection celebrated the quieter beauty of women in menswear, rather the rule-breaking energy of men in dresses. Most of the 84 models, whatever gender, wore trouser suits.
Gucci, best known recently for putting men in feminine clothes, dressed women in masculine clothes in a menswear-based collection shown during womenswear fashion week on models of all genders. Surprising an audience with a tradition-disrupting gender-fluid look is as on-brand for modern Gucci as supermodels in cocaine-white dresses slashed at the hipbone sashaying down a mirrored runway were in a previous era of glory days, under Tom Ford.

Los Angeles Fashion- Versace
Donatella Versace’s bag isn’t necessarily creating pieces that can be worn by both men and women, it seems it was more Gianni’s style, but her latest Fall/Winter 2020 Runway collection at Milan Fashion Week was just that, gender-fluid, and gender-accepting. With funky floral suits and sweaters worn by both the male and female models, neon-pink electric suits, striped & mixed animal-skin jackets and of course the It Girls of the fashion industry (e.g. Kendall, Gigi, Kaia and Bella), it was quite the show this season. Coming off the amazing performance-and Versace outfits JLO wore for her SuperBowl performance, this collection was possibly outside of Donatella’s previous expertise, but a welcome change to Versace’s brand.

Celine & Saint Laurent- Fashion catwalk spring/summer 2019.
"Sexiness" on the runways doesn't reflect the way the world is evolving, and the industry needs to reconsider how it's conceiving and selling perceptions of women back to them.
Cathy Horyn in her joint review of the Maison Margiela and Saint Laurent collections at the recently-concluded Paris Fashion Week. Designers are not just arbiters of skirt lengths and bell sleeves; the most prominent ones can, through their clothing, encapsulate and influence female selfhood. Fashion can be approached as a delightful diversion, but it does not exist separately from the realities of what is going on in the world — and a lot going on in the world right now is unimaginably grim.
Over the course of this past Fashion Month, the runways unveiling the spring/summer 2019 collections featured some stereotypically "sexy" clothes — mini shorts, teetering heels, skin-baring pieces. Given the continuing conversations around misogyny, consent, and gender equality, contemporary identity is shifting — and so is the attire that goes with it.
