I'm very sleepy but I've had another Edwin thought.

Before WWII, the unnecessary gendering of pink and blue was actually swapped; pink was associated with boys, and blue with girls. The reason it swapped after WWII is gay men sent to concentration camps were marked as such with pink triangles, and so the color became associated with femininity instead of masculinity. Tragic yet fascinating stuff, and absolutely worth knowing, as all things relating to concentration camps, especially in WWII, are. How to avoid history repeating itself, etc-

But why does that make me think of Edwin? Yes he's gay, but he predates WWII, and he's definitely not associated with the color pink?

It's because of all that, and he's associated with blue, of course!

Blue was the needlessly gendered girl color in Edwin's time, and he liked it even before he died, the blue cap Simon snatched off him, remember? I'm not 100% sure on if it's a one to one or if we've gone even harder on the needlessly gendering, but picturing every instance of blue related to Edwin as pink instead as a thought exercise for the fem vibes of his clothes is fun, to me at least.

The most difficult part of being in a relationship with Obi-Wan was navigating all the nat-born courting rituals outside of Cody's awareness. Given that most Jedi didn't go in for that sort of thing, it hadn't been covered in Cody's training.

Despite living together, Cody knew they had yet to go on a 'date.' Work piled up for both of them in the month after the war ended. However, Cody's research told him that Obi-Wan's invitation to dinner and a walk in Coruscant's arboretum that night meant they would tick that box soon.

The problem began when Cody's secretary started gossiping with one of the Coruscant guards. Sitting at his desk, he could hear the pair chattering in the hall. The guard was lamenting her limited wardrobe and that she had nothing to wear for her upcoming date. That set the wheels in Cody's head turning. Clothes weren't something that he thought about often, other than their usefulness in concealing a weapon. He still mostly wore his blacks and dress grays - though he had taken to borrowing Obi-Wan's robes on cold rainy evenings.

Cody frowned at the datapad in his hands. The romance holos that Rex had forced him to watch on shore leave last year flashed through his mind. His perfect memory recalled a detailed montage about picking a date outfit in each holofilm. He sighed, leaning back in his chair. Another nat-born ritual catching him off guard.

Not one to be defeated by a surprise attack, Cody did what he was born to do. He researched, analyzed, and planned an offensive maneuver accordingly. The holonet turned out some useful results.

After work, he took his list of holosite articles to the nearest department store, one he knew Fox frequented regularly. On encountering the barrage of fabrics and colors, he quickly consulted his references.

Hot Trends in Coruscant's Spring Fashion: What You Need to Know

He wasn't sure he was the target demographic for any of these articles, but they helped. He tried on a dozen different outfits, the store attendant helping him sort through the clothing combinations. Some things were too itchy. Others were impractical if they ended up in a combat situation. Still others seemed ugly, even to Cody's limited understanding.

After much deliberation, Cody settled on something comfortable, reasonably priced, and recommended by the majority of his source articles. The attendant even complimented him on his choices. Feeling a strange mixture of confident and nervous, Cody took his spoils home to change.

The only thing left was to gauge the tactical success of his plan based on Obi-Wan's reaction.

also I don't know if you all saw the Wet Leg debacle over on social media, basically people have been hounding their social media ever since Glastonbury was broadcast because their singer Rhian has decided she's done covering up and playing coy cottagecore, instead she's beefed up those biceps, bleached her eyebrows, come out as a lesbian and is flaunting those muscles... with armpit hair. Now I know every single lesbian on here has been cheering every new article I added to that description. Me too, babes, me too. The repressed men and women of social media however are a Whole Different (tellingly straight, also) Story.

They cannot fucking get over a woman with armpit hair. Rhian has been talking about it in interviews too, because that's how much they've been commenting: on the band's socials, on Youtube under their Glasto performance, under random indie rock accounts talking about their music, under the BBC socials, fucking endless! At one point, Rhian has been saying she's stopped deleting these comments so people can see for themselves how out of pocket the comments from complete strangers who think they should have control over another woman's body were getting (NYLON mag interview).

Anyway, come album release week and Wet Leg are potentially on their way to a #1 UK album, though since it is also Oasis reunion month, they are also being bought expeditiously (Time Flies compilation, decades old, nothing new). Rhian jumps in on this with a video basically saying, "no idea why people are offended by a grown woman not looking pre pubescent but fine, here's a deal: buy the album, if we get to #1 I'll shave the armpit hair."

Thankfully there was equal demand for both moisturizer the album as well as leaving Rhian's armpits unbothered, and so the album finished at the top of the charts and the band posted a very funny post of guitarists Hester and Rhian ceremoniously shaving the armpits of the three men in the band. Many cheers from the girls in the crowd! Many cheers from me!! Resigned acceptance from some of the internet men.

Interestingly, some of the men in the comments were commiserating with the Wet Leg lads: "oof, that's gonna be hell in a week when they start to grow back". That's never a problem when policing a woman's body hair. Curious.

Anyway long live Rhian Teasdale and long live Rhian Teasdale's armpit hair. 💪💚💚

Also Rhian's partner is genderqueer, Rhian says

TERF FUCK OFF.

I'm artblocked so Here's character sleeping positions + lore

(blankets omitted from the drawing where irrelevant. Assume characters use them unless otherwise specified)

Palo

Habitually sleeps on his back with his hands clasped.

Overheats easily and likes cooler temperatures, his blanket/cloak will often end up completely removed from his body over the course of the night.

Mild insomniac and a very light sleeper. Occasionally sleepwalks.

Smokes hideje (plant with mild sedative properties) as a sleep aid when he can get his hands on it

This seems to have a side effect of strange, disorienting dreams and occasional sleep paralysis.

Tigran:

Sleeps on his side

Needs to be entirely burritoed into his cloak/blanket regardless of the temperature, leaving a little gap near his face so he can breathe.

If it's hot he sticks his feet out for thermoregulatory purposes.

Sleeps soundly but tosses and turns constantly.

Has very frequent nightmares.

Hibrides:

Sleeps on her side

Needs to be hugging a pillow to feel comfortable.

Almost always ends up curled in a shrimp position in the middle of her bed.

Strongly dislikes sleeping (and generally Being) naked, wears old dresses as pajamas.

Likes when Hippeti (dog) sleeps near her bed, at least until he wakes up to loudly lick himself.

Snores.

Couya

Sleeps on her back.

Takes Odonii standard perpetual armament very seriously and keeps any weapons she is actively carrying next to her while sleeping.

Has very lengthy, vivid dreams.

Sleeps on a grass mat by choice even though she can absolutely afford a fabric bed. Doesn't like soft beds and kind of thinks people who do are pussies.

Has frequent back pain (especially in the mornings), which is surely unrelated.

Janeys

Sleeps on his back or side.

Would benefit tremendously from a weighted blanket. An arm works too.

Has a specific phallus amulet reserved specifically for sleeping (for protection against threats like nightmares, nocturnal emission, or other harm from evil spirits).

It apparently works because he doesn't get nightmares a lot and instead gets really, really weird stress dreams.

Frequently talks/yells in his sleep.

Will wither away and die if deprived of pillows or a down mat.

Brakul

Almost exclusively sleeps on his stomach.

Will be splayed out like a starfish if not physically restricted by the presence of another body.

Falls asleep easily and barely moves over the course of a night. Could sleep through an earthquake.

Rarely remembers his dreams.

(Both get cold easily and this scene would be hidden under a notably massive blanket with only their heads exposed in all but the hottest conditions)

FAIZA:

Falls asleep on her back but can end up in startlingly contorted poses.

Keeps the Odonii standard perpetual armament restricted to having her dagger nearby while asleep.

Doesn't really use pillows, considers a down bed more than enough.

Tosses and turns in her sleep, very frequently wakes up lying on the floor.

Sleepwalks on a fairly regular basis. One time she woke up going through the physical motions of giving a blessing (to a wall) and really didn't know how to feel about that.

Etsushir

Not only capable of sleeping like this, but actively prefers it. (This isn't an elowey-typical thing, it's distinctly unusual)

Quite adept in general at falling asleep in intensely uncomfortable looking positions and circumstances. He's just used to it.

Grinds his teeth in his sleep.

Doesn't usually use a blanket (fur provides enough warmth for most seasons anyway) but likes the physical comfort of sleeping in a cloak.

I hate how the simple presence of an 8-panel cap has the Perry the Platypus Effect on 1920’s men’s clothing in that sense that it tragically turns any period appropriate suit into Peaky Blinders cosplay

[martuzzio]

Yes, Ren genuinely thinks cramming his wolf ears under that hat will distract people from his sharp canines, his tendency to tell Zedaph what to do, and his bad habit of barking at moving objects.

Yes, Doc genuinely thinks hanging an old rag over his face and wearing those ancient spectacles with no lenses will help distract people from... well, everything.

Yes, they're both delusional.

Viewers may have noticed some of the women around Veridia wearing custom recolors of this dress. Now your sims, too, can cosplay as Orla. I don't know why they would want to, but they could!

Fial: a yellowy plaid dress fastened with a gold and garnet brooch and blue belt, featuring tablet weave on the hem and sleeves (which doesn't make much sense, considering those would be the hardest spots to keep clean, but whatever). Fancy!

Helenet: practical and cozy brown plaid worn over a pretty blue dress. Netty likes her clothes neat and practical.

Orla: A dark blue peplos worn over a green dress, with some of Orla's trinkets tied on to the belt. Has dragons on the brooch. There's a contrasting blanket stitch on the underdress collar like Fial's that you can't see here because I'm a master of posing.

Also includes two plain tartan dresses: Fial's dress without all the frills and a nice green in the same pattern.

Ok, and the usual:

for TF, AF, EF

repositoried to AF, so the AF files are required for the other ages

enabled for everyday, formal, gym clothes, outerwear

meshes included
