#outfit discourse

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

this might be a bit of a nitpick and you’ve been warned but…

can we talk about how everyone except glimmer wears the same exact outfits for the princess prom and glimmer’s coronation?

like,, these are PRINCESSES. they’re ROYALTY. are you seriously telling me they’ve only got ONE outfit that they wear for every special occasion?

and i can’t really think of a practical reason for this, because surely the creators could come up with different outfits for the coronation episode? it’s just one episode, i’m assuming it wouldn’t be that hard.

especially since SOMEONE *cough* catra- *cough* got a plethora of different outfits throughout the series despite being a child soldier with presumably very little money and yet the literal princesses who live in luxury have to reuse the same outfits. it’s actually hilarious when you think about it.

the older i get the less i understand why people complain so much about sakura's lack of sex appeal in the anime when the fanbase response is to double down on the hyper feminization and sexualisation making kishimoto look like a moderate feminist and pierrot canon compliant in comparison.

"masculinity is rewarded in women and afabs!!" bestie conservatives cannot even be normal about fem people with short hair

losing my mind that someone thinks that some women wear Kim K waist trainers to the gym because historical costumers/dress history specialists dare to talk about corsets not being torture devices online

those are demographics with NEGATIVE overlap

This weekend, I went to a pop culture/comic convention in my area to see a few friends, and had an interesting experience. When I was first walking from the parking lot to the convention hotel, a man I'd never met or spoken to before came up to me just before I got to the doors. I was initially wary, as I've encountered more than a few creepy/pervy men at this convention in the past. But what he said to me, very politely, was: "Excuse me. Are you one of the movie stars?"

I can't emphasize enough how much this came out of nowhere. I also don't know what gave him the idea that I was a movie star, maybe other than what I was wearing (a purple sequined dress, a silver cross necklace, and blue/white/red slingback peep toe heels). But the question pleasantly took me aback, and after I said that I wasn't one, he added, "You're dressed so nice. You look beautiful." Which also was unexpected, and after I thanked him for his very kind words, he wished me a good night as I continued on in to the hotel.

My point in mentioning this is that there tends to be a very specific idea of what/who a "movie star" is or looks like, and not in a thousand years would I categorize myself in that way. But I think maybe looks/external beauty are only one part of it, and the rest is confidence--surety of self, and how you move through the world. I have more confidence now than I have had any previous point in my life. I know who I am, and I think I'm finally understanding how that affects people's perception of me.

So yes, that was just an interesting little moment and probably one of the highlights of the weekend. (The other was running into a David cosplayer who had on David's purple-green fuzzy sweater and purple Doc Martens (see below), a kilt for a character in Sandman, and a face tattoo and snakey eyes for Crowley--three cosplays in one!) Good Omens really is everywhere...

she's glowing, beautiful, the white stilleto and jeans combo eats

he's JUST got out of bed, he might not have taken a shower the night before by the fucking looks of it (...for legal reasons this is... a joke)

i need men to leave beautiful women alone

She’s effortlessly beautiful, the epitome of grace and class and style, a mother to a beautiful son. He’s there….I guess. Is he even house trained? Who knows.

“I need men to leave beautiful women alone” it truly is a plague.

So apparently if Brie Larson dresses up sexily, it's because her movie flopped. But if Brie Larson dressed modestly inside said movie, then her modest outfit is supposed to be why it flopped? Do you guys want women to be modest or not. Please make up your minds.

(the original post was made a while ago and it used nate's deadname so i blurred it out)

yeah. this about sums up nate's thought process while creating the show. instead of focusing on important plot points and giving the audience proper arc resolutions and answers to their questions, nate focused more on endearing his blorbos to the viewers.

and i get it. i love my OCs too. i love making up random funny facts about them and picturing them in different scenarios.

but this is not what you do when you're professionally writing a show that's airing on netflix. this is not some fanfiction or a fun story that you share with your friends, you are profiting from this show. therefore, it is your responsibility to make the story make sense and tie up loose ends in a satisfactory manner.

you can't make it flawless, of course. but you can do your best to make it coherent and well-written, and choose to focus on important plot points instead of making up stupid quirky traits for your characters.

We are not prepared for the amount of discourse eras tour is gonna generate this is not abt Taylor this is abt how annoying this fandom is

[nanoa1foryou]

What would I do without a fandom that is so so very horny on main for one man and his silly little outfits.

“The first leg of Eras Tour was better!” “No, Eras Tour Europe was better in every way!” Okay well regardless of version we can agree the eras tour is the best show any of us have ever seen in our lives so like. jot that down!

I can want to look sexy as hell and not want to have sex. Looking damned good doesn't need to mean I want it to lead anywhere. That seems to be lost in the discourse.

[achamocha]

forever baffled at people who willingly consume media that portrays problematic content in a positive light as an integral part of their plot and then get mad when people in the fandom include said problematic content in their fanworks. 'why is everyone shipping incest' YOU ARE A FAN OF THE INCEST GAME

This Michael + this David = Power couple, and no one can convince me otherwise...
