WANTED: GRAND LINE'S HOTTEST ROGUES AND RUNWAYS

i had this thought of a fashion/news editorial that rivaled the anticipation of the wanted posters that came with the news coos named WANTED. sort of a tongue-in-cheek thing to navy-controlled news. this volume with sanji is inspired by al parker's art!

you can find prints of this here!

[ID: Sanji from waist-up in a dark red suit, black shirt, and pink tie - he's holding a black and gold lighter in his right hand, a lit cigarette perched loosely between his lips. His face is in profile, showing a dangling pearl earring in his left ear. His right arm leans against the bottom right corner, as if propping himself up. The flat red of his suit blends with the background - in contrast, his rendered face and hands pop from the composition. END ID.]

white varation + blank version under the cut:

You know in OPLA we got a lot of scenes of Zoro and Nami reacting the same way to Luffy, because in OPLA they met Luffy at the same time, so they are both getting used to who Luffy is. What I would really like from season 2 is for Luffy & Zoro to find their proper wavelength.

Which would of course leave Nami (and probably sometimes Usopp) to be on the exasperated side.

I know all straw hats have their in-synch moments, but I just have to look forward to the Captain-First Mate duo, now with Zoro fully committed to the crew.

But also, I keep wondering if they will do a version of Whiskey Peak or not... we'll see, I guess.

friendly reminder that sauron is not even nearly as cool as lotr made him look like:

once he literally laughed evil villain laugh at his evil plan so hard that he didnt notice that the entire island was sinking into water and his body ended up drowning. he had to make new body out of anger.

*Gandalf getting ready to fight the Balrog*

Out loud: “what an evil fortune! And I am already weary.”

Internally: I’m too old for this shit.

The transition from a young plantling to a full fledged, grown up mother plant is a fascinating (but at times awkward) journey.

Shown here is a Dandelion, Strawberry and Helleborus flower - from newly sprouted bud to mature blossom!

EAST BLUE CREW 🌊

[girlgeekjf-blog]

"There's no hope for the future." And that's how they felt during the Atomic Age, during the World Wars, during the Enlightenment Revolutions, during thr plagues, during the Viking raids, during the fall of Rome.

Yet, we persisted.

Mr. and Mrs. Palmer in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility are one of the oddest happily-married(?) couples in her novels.

They’re not awful people that are perfectly on the same page like John and Fanny Dashwood or Mr. and Mrs. Elton.

Charlotte is the forever optimist that laughs and smiles at everything, always chatty like her mother and never says much of substance.

Mr. Palmer wants to look superior to his silly wife so he hardly ever talks and is critical of everything. He’s the type that thinks it’s cool to be a hater, but as Jane Austen hilariously writes through Elinor’s POV, the only one who finds it amusing and attractive, for some reason, is his wife.

It’s like if the caricatures of Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy got together?

They do have their moments though. If I’m reading correctly, didn’t Mr. Palmer plan a surprise visit to Barton to see her family? (Or was she not paying attention to the itinerary and everything is a delightful surprise?)

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

You know what, since I'm thinking about it anyways, let's talk formalwear accessories. Most of these are traditionally menswear but a bit of gender fuckery is good for the soul, and frankly most of these are about making your mass-produced clothing fit and lay properly without having to go to the tailor.

Shirt stays: these go around your thighs to hold your shirt down, so that it stays smooth and tucked in. They're usually elastic, with 1-3 clips, and if you wear skirts frequently this is a GREAT way to make sure your top doesn't ride up. The clips will be visible if you're wearing something tight, so loose pants or skirts are where these do best. There's also an insane version that clips to your socks, but that is for lunatics. If you wanted, you could also use one of these clips to hold up thigh-highs.

These do a great job of smoothing and narrowing the waist area by keeping your shirt from bunching there.

Sleeve garters: usually metal, leather, elastic, or silk. These are usually worn with button-down shirts to adjust where your cuff falls on the wrist or hand. They're properly worn on the upper arm, and you pull the fabric of the sleeve above the garter until you cuff is where you want it. Because this creates a puff of sleeve at the bicep, it also broadens the appearance of the shoulders. It's great if you're working with your hands or if your sleeves are often too long for your preference.

Waistband clip or belt adjustment clip/buttons

Three different ways of tightening the waistband of a pair of pants or a skirt. You're not going to get more than an inch or so tighter without weird bunching, and for most of these you'd want them to be hidden under a shirt or jacket, but they do the job if that's something you're having issues with.

Collar pins: There are so many fun ones out there, both with and without chains. They're not terribly practical, though the slight weight may help keep your collar where you want it. Also consider collar tips, which pin (surprise) to the very tips of your collar points.

Sweater clips/guards: meant to hold your sweater or cardigan mostly closed. Great if your cardigan doesn't button, or if you don't like it to be buttoned all the way.

There's tons of other stuff out there like this--etsy is a great place to find this stuff. A lot of these are old solutions to the very modern problem of mass-maufactured clothes not being as one-size-fits-all as advertised, but they're also a fun way to put a bit of personality into businesswear.
