“The living look was grown in sea-water baths over several months within a specialised nutrient gel. In collaboration with Chris Bellamy, the Pyrocystis Lunula algae were moulded into an protective membrane then attentively cared for in conditions to mimic their natural marine home, with humidity, temperature, and circadian rhythm all tuned to their precise needs. The chamber in which the living look is nurtured becomes, therefore, a microcosm of the ocean’s delicate balancing point. Caring for the garment, and for the 125 million Pyrocystis Lunula it contains, requires a symbiotic relationship and redefines the creation traditions entirely, as the garment is cultivated rather than constructed.”

People on tumblr are like "I'm handing all my mutuals a bowl of soup we are kissing with tongue we are the bestest of besties I am killing and dying for you" but sometimes me and the mutuals are posting completely different shit existing on the same blogging platform but really we're just standing in the alley going "ayup" at each other like fucking king of the hill.

the thing is sometimes Asra & Nadia walk in on Sam laid out between Donna & Val, Donna playing with his hair and Valerius rubbing his feet, and they both have to swallow down their initial revulsion of “that stupid piece of shit does not deserve this” because they have to accept “those two dummies are having the times of their lives”
