i get where "booster knows fashion" comes from, and yeah that makes sense in later contexts but I think nobody appreciates how out-of-time boosters fashion was when he FIRST came to the present.

and its not even that his clothes are too futuristic, they're too vintage for current trends. And I enjoy seeing his early attempts to throw together outfits.

(his clothing and even costume is more in line with 70s trends down to the shape of his googles/glasses. he wears his hair in a literal pompadour, etc etc. some original concepts of his costume had bell bottoms).

I feel this detail in the og BG is lost as time goes buy and trends come back around LMAO.

ft one of the gayest little outfits i've ever seen next to two other guys for comparison.

KICK THE TRUTH TO THE YOUNG BLACK YOUTH

Girl Scout Gold Award | Help Needed!

Hi all! I'm a Girl Scout who has a deeply rooted passion for the outdoors and am currently making a deeper dive into the industry through my work, education, and personal projects.

One of those is my Girl Scout Gold Award, which is a project that I've centered around helping youth to form connections with one another and the outdoors. To do this, I planned, organized, and ran a weekend-long camping trip for my Girl Scout service unit, and used that event to test run programming that I later used for an Outdoor Leadership Day that I organized, an event that brought the 6th-grade class of a local middle school- nearly 140 kids- to the camp I work at for a day full of fun activities that allowed the students to develop and practice different styles of leadership, communication, and teamwork. As the final part of my project, I created this folder of resources to assist others in bringing similar opportunities to youth in their area.

Although it is tailored to a Girl Scout community camping weekend, most of these resources can be referenced or adapted for outdoor events by any organization. I would deeply appreciate it if you shared this with anyone you know who is interested in planning an outdoor event to help me complete my project!

I used to not really understand what people meant when they said they had comfort characters.

But here I am painting my nails with pink and purple and gold with paint splatters because if Sabine Wren could go through the horrors and come out the other side then I can put up with being around people who hurt me for two weeks and be just fine.

This Rotten Work Playlist: Lefstebany Acosta!

As @evelynhug0 so kindly requested, I'm going to release each of the main character playlists (and one for the main ship, Rachel and Daiyu) once a week leading up to the release of the book!

Fourth up is Lefstebany "Stebbie" Acosta. Though a Render by magical gift, she is damned if she will let anything disturb her pacifist values. The best friend of a hot-tempered Chosen One and in love with a man who thinks that Mountain Dew is the height of cuisine can sometimes make this difficult, not to mention having to survive a death tournament her freshman year of high school. Being the most well-adjusted of any of the graduates of the Academy of the Rising Sun doesn't mean that she doesn't deal of nightmares of her own; it just means that she's more able to call out Rachel and Zell when they start spiralling.

Excerpt:

Stebbie’s a Healer. Well, more accurately, she’s a Render: someone who can manipulate the insides of bodies, coaxing veins and tissues and cells to heal or fray further. Headmaster Nightbane had the same powers, though he used his very differently.

Stebbie’s nothing like the Headmaster. She hates violence. She loathes the idea of bringing harm to anyone, even those who hurt her. She refuses to use her powers for anything but healing, and as far as the Academy was aware, that’s all she was able to use it for. She was constantly kept at the bottom of the class in battle classes, thus preventing her from ever breaking into the top ranks of students despite her clear academic superiority. The Academy under Julien Nightbane treated healers like the lowest of the low, practically useless. Even Katalyn was considered higher than her, as Katalyn would at least participate in battle training. 

It rankled Stebbie, going from the top of her middle school class to so low at the Academy of the Rising Sun, but she refused to give up her pacifist values for anything. She made it through the Tournament entirely by her survival skills instead of by violence.

Her punk aesthetic actually comes from that attitude. Punk, Stebbie likes to tell Zell and I, is about revolting against the system by being kind, treating people better than the system wants you to. It’s about hanging fairy lights and clay calaveras skulls on the walls of the living room, about caring about those who no one else cares about.

sorry if this might be too personal, but how do you deal with being a lesbian and liking m/m stuff? especially the explicit kind? im figuring out myself out and some people say its a sign of attraction to men, that it makes you a fake lesbian, no real lesbian likes it, only bisexuals in denial do this... the comments kinda get to me

do you wanna fuck men? do you fantasize about engaging in sexual activity with men? if yes then you’re not a lesbian.

I like m/m I think because it’s so often written by women who have depth of character and emotion and that’s what appeals to me. I also read f/f for all the same reasons but it is far less popular and for more difficult to find the real good stuff.

i’ve been out as a dyke for over twenty years, and i was sleeping with women long before i started getting into fandom stuff, and quite frankly it doesn’t bother me what people say or think. I know who and what I am. the second you stop caring what other people think is the second your life becomes amazing.
