A look-book and little break-down of Caro’s style and fashion Journey. I didn’t include their cheer uniform or GasCo uniform because those really didn’t influence their actual style much, other than the Varsity jacket and work jacket. I thought it would be fun to set it up almost like a magazine article and I’m in love with the results. I hope you enjoy it too. (The cover is my fave thing ever, just so you know.)
Here’s the Text:
Caro Greene, Cheerleader to Ghosthunter! An exclusive look at superstar Caro Greene’s style evolution. From femme to them!
The Teenage Years! Caro has been aware the high-femme style their parents chose for them was not the look they wanted for a long time, but didn’t know how to address it. Pairing their best friends tee-shirt over their Prom dress was the first step in figuring out their own personal style! From there, they tested out the route of borrowed too-big sweaters whenever they weren’t under the watchful eye of their family.
GasCo Era! Years of emotional neglect build until Caro chops off their hair, an asset more important to their parents than their happiness, and finds themself abruptly homeless, with nothing but some jeans, shirts and an oversized jacket belonging to their long-gone boyfriend. They get a job at the local gas station, and are gifted a new jacket that fits, with their new name on it, in their favorite color! More gender exploration leads them to a better haircut, and their first time trying a binder, and starting to not hate how they look.
Thrift stores, Sneakers, and T! Now in a new environment with supportive people at the GasCo, Caro discovers thrift stores and the tacky ‘80s aesthetic of their dreams. After years of other people controlling their body and looks, starting on low T is a big step in taking back control. They start wearing crop tops and sleeveless tees to show off new body hair, but also love chunky colored sweaters since they’re always cold. Sneakers go with everything, and when you’re short, the possibilities are endless in the kids shoes section.
Mil-Liminal! Caro’s podcast Mil-Liminal goes viral, and they are given the choice of staying faceless and anonymous, or taking the stage in live shows. They decide to do a face reveal, and that means choosing an iconic ‘look’ for their live performances. They choose their favorite color, GasCo Purple, and a jacket that is a blend of their varsity jacket and GasCo work jacket, two clothing pieces that always made them comfortable. They wear their trans identity on their sleeve, and top it off with the snapback look they donned years ago on their first venture ‘out’ as a teenager. The rest is history!
Current Caro! Which brings us to the present! There’s been some small changes, oversized sweaters and tees with a cosmic theme, which is new for the usually spookified Caro. They’re sporting white hair instead of their trademark blond, and have added a cross earring and a pendant to their Mil-Liminal uniform. A black snapback shows up as often as the purple one, and there’s a new bounce in their step, but perhaps they’ve just been indulging in too much coffee these days.
Caro Green is from my webcomics Seemingly Dark and Mil-Liminal, and podcast Mil-Liminal.

ok so listen I just wanted to find one (1) photo of him in a baseball hat and then I got a little carried away umm. anyway! 🥇 boston red sox do appear to be the clear winner. however, 🥈detroit tigers shows some unique devotion as there are two available styles: (1) snapback (2) beanie. 🥉pittsburgh pirates era looks like a very specific period of time, i.e. the Vanessa era. bonus points for looking very cute and soft in this era.

Fic-O-Ween 2023 Day 1: First Frost
Happy fest, y’all! Here’s some Harvard-era FinnLo pining to ring in day one. Huge thank-yous to @lumosinlove for the Sweater Weather characters and universe and to @noots-fic-fests for organizing the fest!
Title: Love at First Fright Pairing: Finn O'Hara/Logan Tremblay Rating: G
Tumblr media
“Trick or treat!”
Finn smiled at the ghost-witch-robot trio looking up at him and dropped three handfuls of candy into the plastic pumpkin pails they held up expectantly.
“Hey, nice costumes! Happy Halloween!”
The kids barely stood still long enough to say it back before they were taking off in the opposite direction of the frat house, eager to get back to their parents and hit up more treat stops around campus before dark. It was a good day for it; classic autumn in New England, from the crispness in the air to the red, brown and yellow leaves drifting down off the trees to cover the manicured grass in a vibrant seasonal blanket. Even the deep red of Harvard’s brick buildings seemed more beautiful in October, like they were meant to exist in a state of perpetual fall.
Throngs of local kids—and some of their parents—were all decked out in their Halloween best, while Finn and the rest of the OKN guys wore school-branded clothes while taking turns manning the candy-laden folding table outside the house between classes. (Finn wasn’t sure any of them owned a costume they could wear outside in broad daylight.) 
He laughed as Percy walked over, refill bag in hand, wearing the exact same gray sweatshirt with a crimson HARVARD across the chest as he was, the same black joggers—almost the same sneakers. “Fashion.”
Percy grinned back at him. “You know it, baby.” He turned the bag upside down, dumping the candy into any bowls that weren’t full and spilling some across the table as he went.
“Yo, you’re getting jolly ranchers all over the ground.”
“You’re a fuckin’ jolly rancher.”
“You’re a fuckin’ kit-kat.”
“You’re a—”
“Shut up, there’s kids,” Will warned, then passed some treats to a tiny ballerina with a kind smile and a compliment for her costume.
“Oh shit, my bad,” Percy said, and Finn snorted as Will cuffed him on the side of the head.
Finn unwrapped a watermelon jolly rancher and popped it into his mouth as he watched students and families pass by. Percy nudged him with an elbow, getting his attention. “Where’s Tremz? Thought you were surgically fused at this point.”
“Fu—” he cut off as Will leveled the captain stare at him. “Heck off. He’s in his medieval history class, he’ll be back soon.”
“Speak of the French-Canadian devil,” Percy shouted as Logan walked up the path to the house, backpack on his shoulders and snapback on his head—backwards, per usual. He looked good in the crimson Harvard Hockey hoodie he was wearing; Finn’s eyes caught the fraying at the cuffs and his stomach swooped as he realized it was his, that Logan must’ve swiped it this morning before heading out. 
“Bonjour,” Logan said, oblivious to the state of Finn’s internal organs.
“Bone-joor,” Percy replied before Finn could say it. “Very French of you. And shorts in October. Very Canadian of you.”
“We haven’t even had first frost yet.” Logan looked from Percy to Finn. “How much candy did you let him eat?”
“Too much,” Will answered for him. “Don’t you have class next, Marshy?”
After a complicated handshake with Finn that neared 15 seconds long, Percy grabbed his bag and took off at a slow jog. Finn wasn’t happy that he left, exactly, but he was happy that Logan walked around the table to take his spot right beside him.
“How’s that black plague treatin’ ya?” he asked as Logan slid his backpack off and under the table.
Logan’s eyes crinkled as he laughed. “Better than it’s treating medieval Europeans. But the reading is a little…”
He looked away—embarrassed, maybe, or frustrated. Finn knew he hated that English still tripped him up sometimes, though the amount he’d improved in just a few semesters was damn impressive. Finn kicked his shin lightly. “I got you. Would’ve flunked out last spring if it weren’t for you, so. Bring on the plagues.”
Logan kicked him back and sent him a grateful smile. And just because he couldn’t help it, Finn plucked at the sleeve of his hoodie. “Nice sweatshirt.”
“You left it on my chair,” Logan said, but Finn saw a little bit of color in his cheeks that he was pretty sure the afternoon chill didn’t put there.
It was a shoddy excuse, but so was Finn teasing him about it being “a little tight in the shoulders, Tremz, you gym beast” just so he could put a hand on one of those broad shoulders and squeeze. Logan was warm and so solid even through the layers; his hand lingered just a second too long before he let it fall away.
The next half hour passed quickly as trick-or-treaters came and went. The sun had just started to sink lower in the sky when a girl who couldn’t have been older than five or six walked up to the table, her guardian hanging back a ways. She had a hockey jersey on and was carrying her helmet, probably tired of wearing it around. 
She was closing in on Logan, who’d ended up on the opposite end of the long folding table as Finn at some point, when the big animatronic ghoul in front of the porch lurched and let out its tinny scream. The girl jumped, looking terrified, and tears filled her wide brown eyes.
“Oh,” Finn heard Logan say softly; his brow was knitted with concern as he walked quickly out from behind the table and crouched down in front of her. “I’m sorry. We didn’t mean to scare you.”
The girl didn’t say anything, just turned to look at her adult and then back at Logan. It seemed like she was trying not to run away.
Logan nodded at her jersey. “You play hockey?”
She nodded.
“Me too. All these guys are on my team. What’s your favorite position to play?”
That drew her out of her shell. “Goalie,” she said with a quiet confidence as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
“I see. You know what I know about goalies?” The girl shook her head, but clearly looked interested at whatever Logan was about to say. He leaned in like he was telling a secret, then said, “They’re the bravest ones. Also the craziest.”
Finn’s chest warmed at the way she laughed, at how Logan had gotten her from near-tears to happy and chatting in no time at all. He never got to see Logan with little kids; all their siblings were older. It was nice. It was sweet. It was doing things to Finn’s heart that he’d rather not think about.
In the end, the little girl—Harper, she told Logan as he filled her candy pail until it was overflowing, then filled her helmet, too—skipped away in a great mood. Logan was still smiling a little after they’d gone as Finn walked over to him.
“She was cute.”
Logan nodded. “Ouais.”
“You, too.” It was out of his mouth before he could shove it back in. Logan raised an eyebrow at him. “You were cute with her,” he explained—not that that really made it better.
But Logan looked pleased that he’d said so, even as he shrugged. “It’s not hard when they’re adorable. She said she’s a goalie.”
“Oh, so the skeleton thing should’ve been afraid of her.”
Logan laughed. “That’s kind of what I told her.”
Finn wanted to say so much. You’re cute all the time. You should only wear my hoodies. You’ll make a great dad someday. I want to share that someday with you.
Instead, he took Logan’s hat off and ruffled his hair. “Dinner?” he asked. “Burgers? Hog’s Head?”
Logan took his hat back and put it back on, but he wasn’t even pretending to be annoyed. “Ouais, let’s go now before they make us clean up.”
As they snuck off behind the house toward the pub, Finn took a handful of cherry jolly ranchers out of his pocket and put them in Logan’s. Logan laughed, then did the same for Finn with the watermelon ones. 
“Happy Halloween, Tremz.”
“Happy Halloween, Harzy.”

I'm the anon that sent the ask that inspired the heteronormativity rant and I just wanted to say that I agree with EVERYTHING you said. It's like you read my mind lol. I do think there's definitely something to the idea that you can tell who is familiar with queer culture and who isn't by how they perceive dnp and their relationship. I'm glad you said that open relationships are more common in mlm relationships. I got hate for saying that during the WAD era lol. It's really not a jump to say that dnp might be ENM when one half of the relationship spent 2 years constantly talking about hooking up with other men, but for some reason anything other than a total dismissal was considered homophobic.
You're so right about Dan's femininity being exaggerated. I never understood where this perception of Dan as particularly feminine comes from. He's not lol. I really think it's just that he has a pretty face and some phannies like to project femininity onto him. either bc they want to relate to him or bc they think femboys are hot.
Yes!! They are totally brat×brat. Their relationship is a game of cat and mouse and who is who changes all the time.
While we're talking about heteronormativity, let's also talk about people's insistence on dnp getting married and having kids. Dan even talked about this in Dystopia Daily. How as soon as they got a house people were like "Ok great. Now get a dog and get married". I think that this is what Dan meant when he asked us not to get mad when their reality doesn't fit our fantasies. Like they might not want to get married. They might have sex with other people sometimes. They might not be as cutesy as we imagine or fit the roles that we think they should have. This new era seems to be about breaking down the misconceptions we have of them and their relationship before they open the door and I think that will probably continue at TIT.
rant
adding a few links to studies and articles about the prevalence of ENM in healthy mlm relationships because some people are just unaware - one + two + three + four
as for dan’s femininity being exaggerated, he definitely has embraced the more feminine sides of himself in recent years but i cannot emphasize enough how that barely scratches the surface of what’s considered feminine in queer culture, specifically gay man culture. and dan from a decade ago? 2014 swaggy dan in his snapbacks and graphic tees was not feminine, he was a geek chic nerd boy. the majority of the ultra feminine dan narrative in the early years was projection.
i’m going on another tangent under the cut
i love phwedding hill mostly because i think weddings are a fun party that celebrates love and just in general i love an event, but i don’t think marriage is something they realistically have on their radar or necessarily desire or require at all - which is really okay and common in queer relationships. it wasn’t legal for us to marry our partners for a very long time so our concepts of long lasting commitment and love is different from that of het couples. choosing not to get married doesn’t mean the relationship is any less serious or committed than that of a married couple.
they’ve lived together for 14 years, likely have been dating for the whole 15, a ring and a party will not change the day to day of their relationship in any meaningful way or change what they mean to each other. heteronormativity plays a part but it’s also a cultural leaning towards traditionalism. you’ve been together for an ‘appropriate’ amount of time, you bought a house together and share a mortgage, now it’s time to get engaged and after an ‘appropriate’ amount of time get married, then have children, raise children, etc. and that’s not them, not once in their entire 15 years of being in the public eye have they followed tradition - so why would they start now?
there’s been an argument i’d seen floating around saying that the reason why they’re not married is because of dan’s commitment issues but i disagree. even if for some reason fear of commitment was dan’s motivator for not getting married, phil wasn’t raised with traditionalist values and that would also play a role in not feeling a need to get married. martyn and cornelia have been together for over a decade and have a child together, and they’re still not married. the lesters have never portrayed themselves as ones for conformity and traditionalism.
getting off topic again but i think that one part of the issue with only experiencing queer culture through social media is that it’s very very easy to get sucked into queer traditionalist echo chambers when you haven’t unlearned traditionalist heteronormative values, and think that is the set expectation for queer relationships (and tbh all relationships in general). there are a few lesbian couple influencers that i actually despise because they have commoditized their traditionalist relationships and turned them into something scary and surreal, like over the course of three years both of these couples went from home ownership to engagement to marriage to baby #1 then baby #2 which is an arguably unhealthily fast progression of these things, filmed and set up in a way that’s like their relationships are a show and we need to keep watching for the next season of traditionalist marriages. and if you don’t have experience with queer communities outside of the internet (and i specify queer here because our communities most commonly have nontraditional relationships), it’s very easy to see a couple of accounts like that and feel reaffirmed in your expectations that all relationships have to be like this.
i really hope they continue to share more of their lives with us and that they live their truths as happily and comfortably as they can, and i hope that we as a community can unlearn the values that are doing nothing but hurting us and each other.

Skateboard P's Threads: Decoding Pharrell's Fashion Philosophy
Pharrell Williams: musician, producer, entrepreneur, and, yes, a fashion icon. His style is as infectious as his beats, a unique blend of streetwear, vintage finds, and high-fashion pieces. This blog is your one-stop shop for dissecting Pharrell's ever-evolving fashion game.
Part 1: The Early Days: From Virginia Beach to Bape
Pharrell's early style was heavily influenced by his Virginia Beach roots and the burgeoning streetwear scene. Think baggy clothes, graphic tees, and the ever-present bucket hat – a signature that would follow him for years to come. As his career progressed, Pharrell embraced Japanese labels like Bape, adding a touch of high-end streetwear to his wardrobe.
Part 2: The Billionaire Boys Club Era: Building a Brand Identity
Pharrell co-founded Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) in 2003, a brand that perfectly captured his playful and irreverent approach to fashion. BBC tees, hoodies, and snapbacks became staples for fans who wanted to emulate Pharrell's unique style. This era saw Pharrell experimenting with bold patterns, mix-and-match prints, and a healthy dose of accessories – chunky chains, statement hats, and those ever-present sunglasses.
Part 3: Hats Off to Pharrell: The Power of Headwear
No conversation about Pharrell's fashion is complete without mentioning his hats. From fedoras to bucket hats and beanies, Pharrell has donned them all. He uses hats not just for practicality, but as a way to elevate an outfit and add a touch of personality.
Part 4: Pharrell's Collaborations: A Matchmaker of Music and Fashion
Pharrell is a master collaborator, and this extends to the world of fashion. He's worked with major brands like Adidas, Chanel, and Moncler, injecting his signature style into each collection. These collaborations are a testament to Pharrell's ability to bridge the gap between streetwear and high fashion.
Part 5: Pharrell's Fashion Legacy: More Than Just Fly
Pharrell's influence on fashion goes beyond just trends. He's challenged traditional notions of masculinity, embraced gender-fluid dressing, and consistently pushed boundaries. Pharrell's message is clear: fashion is about fun, self-expression, and having the confidence to wear whatever makes you feel good.
Stay Tuned!
This blog is just the first verse in Pharrell's fashion story. We'll be diving deeper into iconic Pharrell looks, his most memorable collaborations, and how he continues to inspire a new generation of fashion enthusiasts. We'll also explore the philosophy behind Pharrell's style – how it reflects his music and personality, and how it can be a guide for anyone who wants to express themselves through fashion.
So, grab your best hat and your boldest threads, and join us as we explore the world of Skateboard P's fashion!

Someone on Twitter last night brought up the state of Star Wars, and, in particular frustration, its fandom. And I definitely don't argue that the state of Star Wars fans is shitty. Like, I'm the guy who, despite having frustrations with TLJ and discussing it at all, is also fully aware that there is a definite reason that I am in a position of having to justify my dislike of the film, because the worst people were the ones who drowned out any other criticisms of the movie, so any discussion I might have had on the subject would start with me on the defensive, needing to say "no I have VERY. DIFFERENT. REASONS. for not liking that movie!" So like... I get the disdain of the shitty fans.
But seeing the thing that the shitty fans are doing now really crystalized something about modern Star Wars for me. I honestly don't like it as a complete tapestry at this point, just in the individual pieces.
Star Wars has been MCU'ed, where it's a bunch of individual pieces, ostensibly overseen by a single head, but, in truth, that single head just lets people go out, do their own things, and then later crafts together the unification of it all in a single piece of media that needs like twenty hours of preceding research to fully understand, and if you miss one of those feeder pieces of the franchise, you're lost.
That's definitely what the Mandalorian has been this season - everything happening there depends on knowing the information from various other aspects of the franchise, not just the Sequel Trilogy, but also the Clone Wars, and probably various other "smoothing the kinks" side content of novels and comics, and Bad Batch has had a lot of that as well (it's less egregious there, since that is sequel series directly, taking place in the same time frame, but it's still how the show is structured and built).
And, okay, in the interests of fairness, I will acknowledge that yes, it's not like the Legends line was free of this sort, but the Legends stories had the benefit of advancing the narrative at the same time - sure, you'd have something like the Hand of Thrawn duology, that basically tried to make sense of the mostly-self-isolated various Bantam era novels that sometimes barely acknowledged or even contradicted one another, or the almost instant snapback of the evolution of the views of the Force brought by Vergere, followed by the subsequent retconning her as a Sith to help justify it, but there was still a sense of the narrative advancing, that the characters were growing over time.
By virtue of EVERYTHING ongoing in the Star Wars EU at this point happening prior to the Sequel Trilogy, none of that is there for Disney's Star Wars. The result is basically a feeling of a lot of fanfare for nothing of significance. Because the story just keeps setting up the things we already know are coming - if it's set prior to the Original Trilogy, it's setting up the Empire's eventual fall, maybe laying seeds for the ultimate Palpa-jack for Rise of Skywalker. If it's set after the Original Trilogy, it's setting up the fall of the New Republic and the origins of the First Order, and... we already know where that story goes.
I mean, functionally, we also knew that when the First Order was introduced as the new Empire, and the Sequels set about basically doing the Original Trilogy, just slightly different.
And I mean, yes, I'm still willingly buying the novels, and, if finances were in a better state, I'd even have the comics as well (those are my triage choice, consider my pull list at my comic shop is already out of control). And if Disney would stop encouraging the capitalistic hellscape we are forced to subsist in and release DVD sets again, I'd be buying these shows on DVD as well (seriously, how in the fuck do you justify purchasing multiple franchises BUILT on the concept of collectibles and then discontinue series DVD sets?!).
But the heart's not in it. And it's very much on the basis of how at this point, the franchise exists in a state of spinning its wheels, basically trying to retroactively justify everything that they've done, rather than owning up to mistakes.
And, honestly, this is reflected in that shitty fandom, because as much as they whine about Star Wars not being what THEY want it to be... Honestly, they ARE the ones getting the most out of this era of Star Wars content, because it's just returning and revisiting the existing world, rather than exploring where it can go next.
