#padded shoulders

[the-alpha-ursae-minoris]

it is a very particular experience the one of being part of an "old" fandom as a gen z kid.

like i'm reading 2013 sterek right now. Its a nice fic. Not that old you might say (it was 11 years ago). Nothing have changed that much you might say.

Yes it has. Tell me why they're going on a date and derek just appeared wearing a BLAZER ??? with padded shoulders ???? with a v-neck white shirt underneath ???? With the "V" so low that you can see chest hair ???????? And he looks like "sex on leg" ????????????????????????????????????

On His Own Terms

Rise Ramblings #2

In my post, “This Whole Situation,” I discuss how Donnie doesn’t see himself or his mutation as something that needs to be hidden away. He wears clothes when he's out and about, and that’s about it. However, as turtlemen in the middle of NYC, sometimes they need to actually wear disguises. So, what does Donnie do in those cases?

Old ladies? Well, that’s a choice. And the way Leo phrased the question is interesting as well.

“Why do you always make us dress up as old ladies.”

This means that every time it’s up to Donnie to choose the disguise, it’s not up for discussion. They’re going to be old ladies. Period.

But the most interesting part of this scene is Donatello's answer to Leo's question.

You would think that blending in would be the main goal, but no. Donnie’s main goal with his chosen disguise is: comfort. He’s not willing to sacrifice his own comfort just to make other people comfortable with his presence.

He’ll wear a disguise if he must, but only on his own terms.

And I’m happy that he can set his boundary and stick to it.

Never change, Donnie, never change…

…Does anyone else see Leo’s old lady drip?! Where did he get those pearls from? Forget the pearls, where did he get the pantyhose? Did he style his own wig? How long did it take for him to put on his makeup? What color eyeshadow is that? Look at those lashes! Look at those bazongas! He put so much work into his fit, no wonder he received a compliment.

SUPER STYLISH modern shichigosan outfit shot by Kobune Photo.

I love everthing here: the goth/rock feel, the crow obi and crochet shigoki-obi <3

Black is very unusual for kid attires, this kimono is probably an adult kurotomesode (or maybe a black haori?) which was altered for children wear (see the kata-age/shoulder tucks, and how the hem pattern seems "cut").

You can have below a look at another styling staring the same kimono, this time featuring a hifu (padded sleeveless vest), and a pleated bib-like collar:

Nie Huaisang pulling a Jaskier where somehow everyone thinks he's physically tiny, because of how he tailors his clothes and the way he moves and acts and refers to himself, but in actuality he's almost the same height and shoulder width as Nie Mingjue and the impression of him as "just a little guy" is a carefully crafted illusion that would shatter if the main cast all lined up naked together.

I'm noticing that [adult swim] is getting more female-oriented nowadays. yolo, birdgirl, them rescuing tuca and bertie, unicorn warriors eternal having a female lead and romantic subplot, my adventures with superman pretty much being a shojo, sailor moon airing on the toonami rewind block, invincible fight girl, women wearing shoulder pads.

considering that Mike Lazzo infamously said that women aren't funny and refused to hire them, I see this an absolute win. he must be sooooo angry right now lol
