everyone suggesting alternatives for Photoshop is inevitably not actually using most of the Photoshop functionality, which to be fair is probably the vast majority of the potential Photoshop userbase.

the reason Photoshop has been industry standard for 30 years is that it does almost everything and has almost always done almost everything. it has had a few weird slow adoptions, for example it didn't support basic live mirroring while drawing until the 2010s (ish). it didn't have recovery saves or auto saving until about then. it's never been the absolute last word in real media synthesis, that was Corel Painter for years and now I think CSP is probably the king. illustrator is better at vectors. etc. but Photoshop can do all of those things well enough to prepare a professional grade, print-ready artwork from RAW file to layout to text to retouching to total from-scratch illustration, in one step, with layer and channel separation, multiple types of masking, adjustment layers, lossless file object placement, vector text transformation including all standard print layout tools like kerning, like spacing, comprehensive font support, and both true font variation and faux transformation like fake bold and fake italic. and clients and print workflows are expecting PSD files and file preparation for this reason. Krita, as an example of a popular program suggested as an "alternative to Photoshop" which I have used for hundreds of hours to do professional and personal work, is great for drawing but has a completely unusable text engine, you can't make a webcomic with speech bubbles easily and quickly in Krita. it was like pulling teeth even trying to put "BABY SLUT" on my Lethal Company skin with Krita. but you can lay out an entire magazine in Photoshop in an afternoon, and people do (print preparation is whole other topic I'm not saying vogue is prepared solely in Photoshop, it isn't, I'm saying you CAN do it in Photoshop)

I have never paid for an Adobe product, I am not pro Photoshop, I am pro getting my work done. I would absolutely love for there to be an actual Photoshop alternative, but there isn't. there are individual alternatives for individual features of Photoshop, and if you are working in a limited professional scope or you just want a drawing program or just want to make your webcomic or just want to do pixel art then one or two programs will replace Photoshop for you. everyone who, like me, has to do RAW editing, fashion retouching, print and web layout, pure digital illustration, vector illustration, text and graphic design, and all the rest of the crap I have to do in a format that's accepted by publishers and the rest of the various workflow destinations it's just not realistic. which is why it's great that Photoshop is completely trivial to pirate at any stage of its development you care to install,including versions prior to the introduction of the AI crap, the cloud crap, and the rest of the crap no one serious is actually using unless their manager is forcing them to

could you talk more on eds and biopolitics?

sure, so this is broad strokes and it's also worth reiterating that the energy deficit characteristic of EDs can have a lot of different causes besides intentional food restriction—food insecurity is a huge and underrecognised factor here but there are many others. so when i talk about intentional restriction and the desire to be thin / lose weight, i'm not suggesting these are universal characteristics or causes of EDs.

anyway though, in the context of discussing these things, and particularly the relationship between 'diet culture' and EDs, a perennial frustration to me is that i often hear people fall back on the idea that the desire to be thin comes about as a result of the beauty standards perpetuated in mass media, fashion adverts, &c, without any subsequent interrogation of why it is that beauty itself is now so heavily dependent on thinness. after all, plenty of people have pointed out this is not a universal; beauty varies in different times and places, what is described or depicted as beautiful in historical records doesn't necessarily have much overlap with today's hegemonic standards, and so forth.

so when historicising this phenomenon it becomes very clear that the euro/anglo standard of thinness as beauty is, one, part of the ideological apparatus justifying colonialism thru the creation of race and white supremacy. sabrina strings and da'shaun harrison have written on this. two, the thin ideal is also inextricably tied up in medical discourses defining the ideal body as one that is economically productive, with the promise being that if the populace can be transformed into 'healthy',*** useful, hardworking citizens, the state benefits. control of bodyweight is therefore certainly a means of demonstrating one's supposed self-control, moral discipline, &c, but it is also a demand expressed in medical terms: these two discourses merge and overlap, and are both part of the capitalist state's transformation of its citizenry into a biological resource that can be controlled, managed, and exploited to bourgeois ends (profit): hence, biopolitics.

(***the story of how 'health' itself comes to be so dependent on thinness is obviously a critical piece of all this but this post is long as shit already so suffice it to say that this conflation is also not obvious, necessary, universal, &c &c)

medico-political discourses in the 19th century tended to talk about the dangers of both over- and under-weight more than what we hear now; similarly, if you think about something like wilbur atwater's calorie-value charts, these were explicitly intended to guide labourers to the most calorie-dense foods, because to atwater the central danger to be avoided was starvation among the workforce. these days in wealthy countries like the us, you are much more likely to hear about weight management in the context of demands to reduce; this is of course following moves like the WHO declaring an 'obesity epidemic' in 1997, and the rise in the usa of more explicitly nationalist, militaristic weight-loss rhetoric in the post-9/11 era.

however, my position is that these demands for thinness, and the beauty standard that follows and justifies them, are not a departure from earlier 19th- and 20th-century scientific nutrition advice, just an evolution that, for a multitude of reasons (politics, medical professional interests, insurance company practices, &c) has simply come to focus more on the ostensible economic and national threat posed by fatness. the underlying logic bears the biopolitical throughline: the state has, or ought to have, an interest in enforcing the health of its population, and as part of this demands that you the individual surveil and alter your weight according to the scientific guidelines du jour.

this is fertile ground for the development of what, in extreme form, we regard as ED pathology. first, because even the most purely 'health'-motivated individual engaging in the required degree of bodily monitoring and caloric restriction is liable to respond to energy deficit in ways that can become diagnosably distressing. second, because the morals of 'health' are never far from standards of beauty; thinness is sold in overtly profitable ways (the diet and weight-loss industries) and furthermore, our idea of beauty is often a kind of post hoc justification for the thinness already being demanded by state and medical authorities. which is really just to say, beauty is part of the ideological superstructure both resulting from and invoked as a justification for the material conditions of capitalist biopolitics. again this is very broad strokes, but imo it is a much more useful framework to understand EDs than simply presenting them as a result of desiring thinness because it is glorified in The Media, because... reasons (essentially the rené girard model, lol).

CHAPTER TAGS. written, development

CHAPTER WARNINGS. suggestive if you squint REAL HARD

A/N. this chapter is basically just like, establishing relationships and character development. WE'LL GET INTO THE JUICY STUFF SOON I PROMISEEEEEEE

“Genuinely, if you don’t put your phone down, I’m going to lose it.”

“Jesus, grandpa. It’s not that serious. As soon as Yunho and San show up, I’m out of here.” You chuckled as you tossed your phone behind you onto the couch in Hongjoong’s studio. You’d been in his studio for at least two hours at that point, and you were so very bored. He had called you into the studio at 8 a.m. that morning. Which was at least three hours earlier than you intended to be up. He didn’t need you to work on anything that day- he just wanted the company. Which you were happy to provide. But for as long as you could remember, he’s always hated it when people stared at their phones while in his studio.

You've known Hongjoong for a long time- since before he became a trainee. And to be honest, you definitely wouldn’t be where you are in life if it weren’t for him. You met him when you first moved to Seoul when you were just sixteen. You didn’t really have any goals, you just wanted independence. When you first met Hongjoong, you were working in a cafe, which was one of two jobs you had at the time. You started to notice him coming in almost every day, sitting in the corner, headphones on, working on something clearly very serious for hours at a time. Sometimes, he would even be there until you closed. Usually, he wouldn’t even order anything- he was just there for the free Wi-Fi.

After a few weeks of him coming in, you started giving him the free coffees that you got on your shift. When you would place the coffee on the table he was sitting at, he would look up, give you a quick smile, and immediately return to whatever he was doing. One night, after about a month and a half of him coming in, you were closing the cafe by yourself, and noticed Hongjoong staring blankly at his laptop screen. You decided that was the night you were going to finally make a friend in this city. You walked up to him and stood by his table for a solid forty five seconds before he slowly looked up and removed his headphones.

At first, he thought you were just going to kick him out since the cafe had closed, but was surprised when you asked him about what he was working on whenever he came into the cafe. He told you about his music, that he wanted to be a professional musician, and that he was working on a mixtape to send in to different companies. The two of you sat for at least another two hours just listening to all the different songs he had been working on. His eagerness and ambition to do what he loved really inspired you- it made you want to make something of yourself.

So over the next several months, whenever you were closing the cafe by yourself, you and Hongjoong would sit together and work on his mixtape. He taught you the ins and outs of the different programs that he used, and you offered whatever constructive suggestions you could. One day, Hongjoong came into the cafe, grinning ear to ear as he ran up to the front counter and gleefully told you that his mixtape had gotten him accepted into a company. After your shift, you treated him to dinner, and made him promise to keep in contact while he was a trainee. He accepted the promise under the condition that you help him produce his first album.

Hongjoong taught you everything you knew about production, and now you were one of the most sought-after producers in the industry. Ever since Ateez debuted, you’d been working with him a lot more in the studio, and you’d gotten somewhat close with a few of his members- mainly Mingi, Seonghwa, and Wooyoung. You would always be thankful for Hongjoong, not just because your friendship with him was the catalyst for your career, but because if it weren’t for him teaching you how to make music, you wouldn’t have met your boyfriend.

You met Felix backstage at a music show that Hongjoong had invited you to as a guest. You were standing by yourself in front of a screen that showed the stage, watching your best friend and his group absolutely kill it onstage. After their last song finished, you realized you weren’t the only person watching the screen as you heard a set of hands next to you clapping excitedly. You turned to look who it was and saw Felix standing beside you. You knew who Felix was- you had worked with Bangchan, Changbin, and Han once or twice before, but never met the rest of Stray Kids. You didn’t think much of him at first to be completely honest- it wasn’t love at first sight or anything, but once you started working with the producer unit of Stray Kids more, you started seeing Felix more frequently, and before long, you two were together.

At first, no one knew about yours and Felix’s relationship. Partially because you weren’t sure how long it was going to last, and partially because you knew what it would do to both of your careers if the two of you were found out. But of course before long, the rest of his group found out, and the two of you told your families about your relationship. Now here you were three years after the start of your relationship, and even though almost all of your friends knew, his company was still none the wiser.

The door to Hongjoong’s studio creaked open, and the two of you turned your heads to see Yunho and San coming through the door. Yunho greeted you with a friendly wave and a “Hello”, while San gave you a small smile. You rose from your chair as soon as the two men got settled into the couch. Stretching your arms above your head with a groan, you turned to your best friend, who was still staring at his monitor- you weren’t even sure if he had noticed the presence of his two members.

“Joong, I’m gonna head out.”

“Huh?” He hummed, still not tearing his eyes from the screen. You took his headphones off his head, which prompted him to finally turn to look at you.

“Yunho and San are here, I’m gonna leave.”

“Oh, okay. Good.” He turned back to his screen, placing his headphones back over his ears. You rolled your eyes at your friend, but you knew better than to bug him any farther while he was “in the zone”. You turned to face the two men sitting on the couch and shook your head in amusement at them.

“Are you gonna be back tomorrow?” San asked as he moved to take the seat next to Hongjoong that you had been seated in before.

“Probably not. Bangchan asked me to come by JYP tomorrow.”

“Ah, bummer.” He responded, spinning around in the chair to face the same screen that Hongjoong had been glued to for the past several hours.

You bid your goodbyes to Yunho and San, not even bothering to try to get Hongjoong’s attention. On your drive home, your mind wandered to Felix. You loved Felix. Obviously. How could you not? The two of you had been together for three happy years, three years of hardly any fights, any disagreements, or any jealousy. But as guilty as you felt for thinking it, you sometimes wondered how long you would last. How long could you make it before someone in his company found out? How long before the excitement of your relationship fizzled out and all that was left was the tedious monotony of most long-term relationships? You hadn’t realized that you were on autopilot to Felix’s apartment until you had pulled up outside the building. You smiled as the realization that while your mind was on Felix, your body had brought you to him dawned on you. Maybe everything would be okay. Maybe even if you two were forced apart, you would always find your way back to him.

some hcs abt the bllk boys doing modeling shoots as pro-players? (like what they’d model for and the ways they captivate their audiences and stuff)? ty and love ur works btw 💞💞🫡

idk why but this ask made my brain freeze up and refuse to write anything for 3 days, so apologies if this is late anon:

sae would be so done. i mean....he walked out on a literal interview, so what makes you think he won't walk out on a photoshoot? he probably hates the very idea of plastering his face all over billboards and magazines. but his manager said that he was in desperate need of good publicity, especially after that stunt he pulled with the last commercial endorsement. if sae was forced to model though, he'd definitely be as stiff as a board. no facial expressions whatsoever and always sticks to one pose. oftentimes, this involves him facing the wall and only showing half his face. if the photographer wants a full frontal, he's going to have to deal with sae's "i don't want to be here and i'm being held hostage" face. even if sae does try smiling, it looks more like a grimace. the only redeeming quality here is that he is good-looking. if you look at the official art, he doesn't even have to try to get all of you drooling over him. that face card does not decline. like ever. so the shoots usually wrap up pretty quickly because out of the 100 images taken, at least half are going to be usable. he's photogenic from any angle.

kaiser would strike a pose for everything, even his own mugshot. i picture him as that one johnny depp advertisement for dior sauvage. blue lighting. a silk blouse with the top button open to show off a sliver of his sculpted chest. his hair is slicked back with gel, and his knuckles are decorated with silver rings. the tattoo just pulls everything together. if not a perfume commercial, then i think he'd model for adidas or some other german brand (maybe even a beer company if he's old enough). i don't think he has any trouble with the actual modeling part of process. he knows how to flaunt himself. the only issue is that kaiser is a lazy perfectionist. he would show up late to the shoots and then stays even later just looking through the shots and choosing which ones to include. puts a lot of time and effort into things like this. after all, his image and his brand are important to him.

shidou would be sponsored by an energy drink brand. like red bull or monster. if not that, then axe body spray lol. as for modeling, i feel like he wouldn't be able to sit still. probably pulls out crazy poses that piss the photographers off on purpose. it always cracks me up how one of his first appearances in the manga is him being muzzled and restrained in a straitjacket inside blue lock's time-out zone. he's so chaotic. you would have to hold him down and shove the camera into his face to actually get a good shot. i also picture him wearing lots of black leather, maybe even silver jewelry (eg. studs, piercings). and of course, you can't forget the hot pink accents.

isagi would model for family-friendly brands. if not that, then just japanese brands in general. i imagine him doing skincare commercials for shiseido or maybe even participating in a campaign for UNIQLO. as for modeling, he would be awkward at first but then gradually get the hang of it. always thanks the team afterwards and is very mindful of the photographer's suggestions. everyone says he is a pleasure to work with.

rin would model for luxury watch brands like TAG heuer or IWC. maybe when he grows older and further develops his career, he might even become an ambassador for louis vuitton or bulgari. overall, his advertisements are very elegant and professional. only endorses high quality products. never looks at the shots afterwards because he hates looking at his own face. gets somewhat embarrassed when his mama points out his billboards and makes clippings of his magazine covers. he absolutely flipped when a brand suggested that he do a collaboration with his brother. so when this collaboration actually did take place, it was like a repeat of the whole messi-ronaldo photoshoot. they didn't actually meet on set. they were just photoshopped together into the same frame.

barou models for calvin klein. lots of denim and shirtless photos. all of the staff got nosebleeds, and his fanbase went wild when the issue was finally released. there's this one image his fans worship religiously where he's posing in his boxers and there's a clear shot of his abs and happy trail. (he's so hot wtf) there's also another shot that wasn't used cus a million people would've been deceased. he's standing there with his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans and wearing nothing underneath his denim jacket. his hair is also down, and his skin is all sun-kissed and golden.

reo models streetwear, and this is canon because he has the drip. honestly, his duality needs to be studied because he can go from high class gentleman to bad boy who wears chains and knuckle rings. he'd try all different sorts of styles, and he'd look good doing it. out of all the bllk boys, i feel like reo gets the most sponsorship deals because of his versatility. he does the styling, hair, makeup, posing, editing, etc. honestly, they need to hire him as a creative director already. nagi would tag along behind the scenes, but he'd end up scrolling on his phone the entire day.
