#kinda like hippies just in medieval

[scarefox]

Me getting lowkey paranoid and start to check every of my fav people / bands if they are allies or at least not anti. But so far I stan the right people 😌

It’s a 2 year old post but still nice to see such open support. They were even active in the comment section.

[brightbertalt]

Hi, I don’t usually read or requests these things, but I liked your hobie/punk!reader so would you be up for that same kinda thing but with hippie!reader, perhaps who is also another spider-person?

thank uuu! as someone who is not very familiar with hippie culture n stuff, I try my best!!!!!!

warnings - arguing/playfighting

hobie brown x hippie!reader

of course you two met at the spider society hq

you both were in a sort of mutual friend group with miles, pav and gwen

and OF COURSE you two argued the first day you met

“i jus’ don’t see the whole point in wearin’ that. dontcha wanna look intimidatin’ when you’re protesting and fightin’ against the man?”

“well i just don’t see the point in wearing spikes whenever I’m outside like I’m some sorta medieval castle.”

“well I don’t see the point in tryna look like a pussy alla’ time.”

this first initial argument eventually evolved into more playful banter

“hey you spiky douchebag!”

“hey you colorful bitch!”

you guys r friends <333

one thing you both could always agree on is going against the government

one day, you both were discussing politics and whatnot

“yeah, I just don’t get why we always need to be getting into war after war after war, it doesn’t make any sense! we could be using so much of that money to-“

“you look cute when you’re all rowled up.”

“hobie, what?”

“im saying you look cute, dickhead.”

completely dead silent

“what were you talkin, bout?”

“hobie what the fuck did you just say-“

“c’mon, we already fight like a couple.”

“yeah, but why’d you call me cute?”

“cuz i fuckin’ like you.”

“okay me too, but seriously we could TOTALLY be spending that money-“

it didn’t hit you later that you both confessed your feelings to each other

it didn’t hit you in fact until pav came up to you later

“hey y/n, how’s your relationship going?”

“my relationship?”

“yeah, you and hobie.”

“oh my fucking god.”

Hello, how do you think the relationship between Naerys and Baelor was? Many people that their relationship was good because they were both fanatics of the faith of the seven, but Naerys, although what she wanted most was to be a septa, there is no evidence that she was a crazy religious fundamentalist like Baelor who, apart from imprisoning her sisters because they did not unable to control his penis, he eliminated the master of whispers and the master of law based solely on his own interpretations of the faith, weakening his kingdom. I think Naerys could realize that Baelor's behavior of forcing Daena, Rhaena and Elaena to live in confinement, unable to date, get married and have children, because he simply didn't want to fuck them but he also didn't want to let the girls find someone with whom wanting to have sex was not dissimilar to her husband refusing to stop raping her.

To be honest, I think I share the same sentiment as the latter group of people: I don’t think Naerys was all too fond of Baelor like, at all lol. After all, Baelor might’ve definitely meant well and did, well… A couple of good things during his reign? He was still an absolute idiot who caused more than a bit of harm and probably a religious fanatic who reads as a man that uses his faith as a shield to justify/excuse his own shortcomings as a person.

Honestly though, I don’t think Naerys hated him from day one- if anything I think she definitely liked Baelor when he was just her little cousin who was just as fascinated with the faith as she was (side note- I do imagine them and Rhaena having a little Seven Pointed Star bible study sometimes lol). But, people just kinda change, and I think when Baelor changed from being just really interested in their faith to becoming the worst kind of fanatic, Naerys’ dislike just kept increasing with every shit decision he made.

I’m not sure how Baelor feels about her though. Aside from sending Aegon to Braavos for a good bit (a decision that we aren’t even sure is his to begin with), he doesn’t seem to do much regarding keeping Naerys safe from her godawful brother-husband. That just leads me to believe he applauded and idealized her as some type of martyr, and didn’t lift a finger to help because… Why would he? Her righteous suffering means she’s closer to the gods! /s

I’m sorry if this kinda became a Baelor hate post, that wasn’t at all my intention! To put it simply, I think if Naerys had to choose between the two Baelors who existed in her lifetime, she would for sure pick her respectful little grandson over her medieval hippie cousin lol.

Oh god help me, I'm practically writing a thesis on Our style...

The general idea of the style:

A depiction of the tension between the two halves of a soul, darkness and whimsy, horror and fairytales, 1960s psychedelia and 1980s goth to y2k's imitation of 1960s psychedelia. A retrospective and a flashback to a generation where everything feels like it was overshadowed by nostalgia for a previous decade ... Between the changeling child and the bloodthirsty vampire...

It's not refined at all. But the idea is to find the place where urban fantasy, fairytales, horror and whatever genre you wanna call BTVS, can blend together and where the various different stylistic loves of this collective of people can meet and synergize.

Fuck that feels like a total pretentious ad read, I sound like a douche. Anyway...

It's just trying to get everyone's shit to gel together.

Planning to do it by creating a set of style words and what those style words mean, then assign those keywords to specific alters - and then come up with key clothing items and say which alter they fit...

Those would be

Fun(ky): Hawaiian print shirts, kitchsy prints, 1960s psychedelia and 1970s Technicolor disco rainbow and 80s jewel toned paisely patchwork suede. Basically, shirts that are fun (kitsch) or funky (psychedelia, paisley, early 90s aesthetic patterns (Memphis something).

Dramatique: Excessive, 80s glamrock, 19th century romantic dandy, 18th century aristocratic hedonist, medieval court jester or fairytale prince (Jareth from Labyrinth is a perfect example of "dramatique")

Gothic: this includes the morbid and macabre as well as the ~romantic Victorian vampire goth~ style brocades has overlap with dramatique but is much darker and tends towards more violence. In essence, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stokers Dracula and 90s vampires covered in blood and dripping in bondage gear (Blade's aesthetic).

Academia: look, we're on Tumblr. We know what this means. Things Giles would wear on Buffy but also with a hint of 80s prep drenched in black rit dye.

Flower Child: How Roz's memories think hippie should look. Harem pants and crochet and all of that. Hard to tell if this is his brain's interpretation of 1960s aesthetic or his brief exposure to early 00s hippies through the libertarian party in Colorado... But it's not quite the same as fun(ky). Crunchier and earthier and a little more adjacent to a softer, earthier sort of modern fae perception.

Whimsigoth: Where Dramatique and Flower Child intersect with Gothic... There's some good examples of this in Buffy.

Y2K Nostalgia: mall goth and the stuff Roz liked as a six year old.

Pansy: oh boy Roz why this word okay anyway, this is just "does it tell the world I am a dirty rotten queer and a degenerate bondage pervert?" Thing kind of comes out.

Femme/Queen: OVERTLY "femme" stuff. This is all vibes that we can't 100% explain . (Could honestly call this category "Morgan" and "Florian")

I think that's a pretty approximation of the words we're working with....

Next part: who is what category...

Fun(ky): Laurent, Louis, Daffodil

Dramatique: Louis, Adam, Daffodil, Florian, Morgan

Gothic: Adam, Louis, Laurent, Daffodil

Academia: Adam, Laurent

Flower Child: Morgan, Daffodil

Whimsigoth: Morgan, Daffodil, Louis

Y2K Nostalgia: Florian, Morgan

Pansy: Florian, Daffodil, Louis

Femme/Queen: Morgan and Florian

Some key fashion items:

- fun(ky) or dramatique button downs

-gothic, dramatique, pansy and flower Child dress shirts

- turtlenecks

- fun(ky), academic and flower Child sweaters and cardigans

-fun blazers

-pointed or clunky heeled boots

-interesting pants

-slutty mesh

- too many vests with so many patterns

We've gotten....kinda sidetracked and lost sight of what we were doing. Posting this so we can check it later.

Does joey live in a medieval realm or is it like more of an Onward type of deal and he is a hiker/hippie?

joey exists in a fantasy world, i guess ‘medieval’ or even ‘renaissance’. he lives by himself in dense forest. he fishes and gathers for supplies; hes not much of a hunter. he likes to consider himself kinda like a preserver of the forested area he lives in. kinda in a way to repay the land he lives on. joey’s friends with alot of the forest animals and helps them out most days. he’s very antisocial, he doesnt really like any other creatures, especially humans or other centaurs. he doesnt like talking, for many reasons, and since he doesnt hang around creatures that have a shared tongue he just remains mute.

[quetzalcoatly-blog]

Here are some notes for the Subversion AU event:

Family (since uh i got excited)

She was born and raised in Archimedes, Her family is a wild story uh...

Her birth father was an underground uh street fighter/bare-fist boxer... who ended up being killed due to a traumatic brain injury in the ring during a pretty brutal match when Quetzalcoatl was a small child

When she was a teenager, her mother went to school to be a gynecologist and she now practices as a doctor on the island! she’s very sweet and always has advice... wanted or not

Her step father is a really awesome man who works at a canning factory where they make canned corn. His pozole and is her ultimate comfort food.... she loves her step father a ton<3

She has four brothers!

Tezcatlipoca “Tez”

Installs air conditioning units and industrial fans. wears faux jaguar jackets like an icon JERK. quetz no likey texcatlipoca mucho... used to kick down all her lego creations. likes to play pranks a lot, fun if he wasn’t so mean to quetz. is super fast and runs a lot! 

Huizilopochtli “Zilo”

Restores old blades. Everyone thinks he’s got his life together... but really he just plays fortnite and his username is GodOwARR88. talks about how he’s tough but really he’s just got a strong sense of justice and drinks too much energy drinks. oof he’s confrontational and kinda vain, but also hella beautiful so its sort of okay.

Xipe Totec “Tote”

Owns a company that promotes and installs rooftop gardens and hydroponics. kind of a free-spirit hippie who goes to medieval festivals and acts like a old blacksmith. big believer in natural remedies and has a solution for every illness it seems. a real chill dude, m’dude.

When she was a kid, she was really into folk dance and would dance in competitions! she’s still pretty darn good and still will perform for people when she’s drunk

Actual important stuff:

Quetzalcoatl is now a 32 year old human!

She works as a child and family social worker, who works to ensure that struggling families have access to government assistance and focuses her work on helping non-human citizens

Total gym rat. everyone knows her at the gym, she doesnt skip a session and is known to encourage others to push themselves to perform their peak.

Is a personal weight trainer who focuses on practical lifting rather than show

tends to hurt her gains by going to bars often oops

No romantic partner but says she wants one even tho she’s terrified of commitment. she’s bold and will flirt into the void. but chickens out a lot just goes home and eats three chicken breasts while binge watches espn

SimGuruGrant Asks: Pick a "Wacky" Expansion Theme! (TS4)

SimGuruGrant has just published a new poll on Twitter, giving players a chance to select a favorite “wacky” theme for a future expansion pack. If given the choice, which would you pick? If you’re on Twitter, be sure to vote on his poll!

RANT ALERT

I don’t have Twitter, or TS4, but if I had to pick I’d choose to Travel Back in Time. Where’s that Medieval expansion at, y’all!? >_<

No, but seriously, that’s the only one that hasn’t been done in the sims yet (TSM/P&N does NOT count; that’s an RPG). Or better yet: do a Dr. Who adventure and let sims go to multiple worlds, a la World Adventures, and travel to ancient Greco-Rome and Norway and Mesopotamia! O_O

Sims aren’t in space yet, per se, but TS3 did have Lunar Lakes and Into the Future. Plus TS4 has whatever’s going on with Sixam. If they expand on it in Sims in Space, and add more types of aliens and technology and such, then awesome. Go full Star Wars/Trek with it and make a high tech sci-fi city like Blade Runner! Less Avatar; more Metropolis!

Similarly, the End of the World was kinda alluded to in the Dystopian version of Oasis Landing in ITF. True, it needed to be way more post-apocalyptic, gritty, Mad Max-y, and such, but still. I’d love to play in an actual wasteland. Possibly with radioactive zombies or sims with mutant powers from X-Men or the Matrix or something; living in underground bunkers being sheltered from sandstorms, acid rain or nuclear winter (y’all brought up Seasons), or hell, even giant sand worms, alien invasions, or -- I DON’T KNOW; dazzle me.

What does Hunger Games even mean? First off: will we be allowed to kill sims with bows and arrows and swords and axes and guerilla warfare? O_O If so, YAAAS...but that could go perfectly in a Medieval/Viking EP instead. ;) Second: Isn’t this dystopian/post-apocalyptic, too? At least make it Steampunk Victorian London! :( If they have sims dressed up like the city elite though....

God no. Kill it. Kill it with fire. It sure is t/wacky, that’s for sure.... >_>

See, this is EA’s problem. I understand that The Sims has always had a strong element of the ridiculous about it. But I find a lot of the time that EA uses wackiness as an excuse to cover up laziness or lack of serious inspiration. Like with ITF’s Utopia version of Oasis Landing, for instance. WTF was that? That’s not a future I want to live in, with frikkin Oompa Loompa lookin hippies high on pollen-nectar or whatever opioids were in those giant flowers.

It’s a great idea for wonderland/candyland or whatever, but not a sci-fi expansion, that could have had the default Oasis Landing as the utopia, and started us off in Victorian London, to tine travel to the good or bad future of Oasis Landing instead. The giant flowers (and the crystal flower plants) could have been part of a new career/profession, like a Xenobotanist finding the herbal-based cures for diseases that would run rampant in the dirty plague-ridden dystopian future! Walking around like the frikkin Lotus Eaters from the Odyssey is EA’s best idea for a sci-fi utopian future? Omg.

[stillwooozy]

im tired of people being elitist about covid shit and just ... judgemental. Im talking about you, paul. imagine if he found this blog. he’d be like “oh yea thats my bestie” in a heartbeat tbh. Doesnt know about ‘kin shit but... its really not far off. altho he doesnt give a shit about anime. i should make him watch aot but he would probably hate it. Also idk if even watches tv shows. I rarely do either but i think i can force him. I forced my sister & it took.... since 2013? to be fair, she was 12, & i showed her the first episode were my mom was eaten.... and she like “NOPE TRAUMA” and avoided it until 2 months ago. so yea next time i see paul for a while i’ll get him to watch aot. For the sole reason....... he will see Eren and go “thats you bro” in the worst way possible. i have a shirt - basically cosplay old fashioned ya know the one eren wears but in the current off-white color. And he was kinda joking, but not really, we were at some boho shop in southern FL and he was like “this looks like something you’d wear”. Which I was like 🥺🥺🥺 thank u for the validation uwu and then bought the shirt & made fun of him for pointing it out funny part is i dont wear... medieval shit? like that? i dont rly wear boho hippy shit. i wear the same hoodie i’ve worn since middle school.... honestly shameful. but washers exist & i had an old roommate (damn it feels forever ago i lived in boystown) and she was good at sewing. also i had no money then. i still have none now but i reconciled stuff w/ my family to an extent so my grandparents buy me clothes so to be clear i dont look like a hobo at all. when i choose not too.

I tried to dress nice around paul for a bit to ~seduce~ him but now im like. im wearing my crusty hiking pants that are actually my moms old clothes & a hoodie & that one carhart beanie i bought w/ you in Michigan 3 yrs ago. #fashion.

And now hes fucking bisexual & nonbinary????????????? .... after going to LA for 2 months & meeting a not gay twink 😔 Altho that was after i lost total interest in him as i got to know his personality better

Bro my cousin came out, yea the one named Zeke not a fake name like Paul is cuz Paul has a weird name so... wont share, anyways Zeke is now trans mtf but also he’s fucked on meth atm so like :/ no judgement. Ill see him in the summer & i’ll be there for her but... idk.

I mean im recently “out” on this blog that i’m not “not actually cis” but intersex. but i dealt w/ that shit long ago & hate thinking about & it doesnt impact my life at all so i’m lucky - i know. i just.. im not really cis, i’m not really trans, my parents hate me for it cuz im burden. Sorry i got all their worst traits combined. I want to say one of em is not actually my bio parent but i look so much alike both of them. But also all jewish people look alike. Everyone thinks paul is my brother, we’re not related... at all.

categorized and generalized all the types of tumblr aesthetics i have come across.

I have been going through archives for the last five years on tumblr now, and i can’t help but notice that a lot of blogs are the same. There seems to be a pattern in the sorts of aesthetics i run up against. So, in my exhaustion, i tried coming up with all the different aesthetics, and i tried to put them into certain categories.

blogs ran by people who enjoy crystal meth and don’t give a fuck.

worthy of mentioning, blogs that nobody ever posted a single thing or just one thing, like, really cryptic blogs that nobody could ever understand, blogs that were taken over by some kind of virus and they are trying to sell you male pattern baldness remedies, or they are now call absurdly pornographic things because the virus took over and now they are like blonde cumfuck creampie or something of that nature, and blogs were the person was basically saying they have found a girlfriend/boyfriend now and don’t need tumblr anymore so goodbye

and in my experience ...

anybody can post pictures of jiggly boobs

anybody can post Grace Jones

anybody can post a Bjork song

these seem to be universal truths that defy limitations

replied to your post:

“ACE ATTORNEY GAMES RANKING AND THOUGHTS ON DUAL DESTINIES”:

One thing I will say about DD is that it also shows the seams the most when it comes to Japanifornia and was a major reason I couldn't be happy with it. From Simon's -dono's, to the udon, to the yokai villiage... It was not very cohesive. I think that was a big thing in making SOJ's story tighter is just starting from scratch someplace that is recognizable to both Japan and the US, keeping the same characters, and giving them new opportunities.

Fun fact, Simon apparently doesn’t -dono in the original (he does some really weird thing with their names that would be hard to translate) so they actually added that. wait lemme find it. 

From here.

He calls the lawyers he goes up against “[Kanji from last name]-no-ji” for some reason. It literally just means “Written Symbol X”. After writing this post, a few of helpful users informed me that [Kanji]-no-ji is medieval slang, usually used in Samurai movies when they are speaking informally or teasing somebody, and though it’s actually nonsensical language, it *does* make Blackquill’s speech sound like he escaped from a movie set in the Sengoku era. Honestly, I think the translators were just as confused as I was, hence why they made him act like a stereotypical Samurai instead. In Japanese, he was instead supposed to be a “Ronin”, a wandering warrior who has lost his ideals and master.

RURONI SIMON (sorry)

yeah, the Japanifornia stuff is espacially unbelievable in DD, though honestly i feel like that ship pretty much sailed on that in the game series as soon as Maya’s village was introduced. We also just had an entire Yakuza family hanging around in AJ too...and a ramen stand...that stuff is more hilarious to me at this point than annoying though and the fact the translators pretty much give up by the time DD has arrived is funny and kinda good in its own way- it at least allows a lot of the Japanese stuff to be actually referenced and explained instead of obfuscated (calling Maya’s outfit a “hippie costume” in AA1 was uncomfortable honestly, i’m glad at least the games are calling it a kimono and acknowledging she’s Japanese now).

I just honestly headcanon the AA localization as being in some bizarre alternate Japan where everyone has English names and ignore it whenever the game references the US. Like I get that the English names are necessary for the puns, and think the localization did a good job tweaking and translating the humor, but I just think of everyone as Japanese regardless cuz I’m not here for whitewashing. So yeah,DD doesn’t feel that jarring to me from that perspective.

I did really like the setting change in SoJ and thought that was really cool.

i saw a post a while back accusing ppl who weren’t into japanese stuff of being ‘racist’. i know some people definitely probably take it that far, but for some people we’re just not into japanese stuff. personally i wasn’t super-psyched about stormblood for one main reason - ‘fantasy east asia’ has been done to DEATH. every game, world, setting, etc. seems to have ‘fantasy east asia’ expansions or areas now. i’m almost as sick of ‘fantasy east asia’ as i am of ‘fantasy western europe’.

in stormblood’s defense square is a japanese company, so it makes a little more sense. and, their zones feel more varied, as if they incorporate different flavors of east asian countries and cultures (again, not surprising because they’re a japanese company). also huge props for having a whole zone, race and section of the story quest dedicated to ‘fantasy mongolia’, something which was really unique and cool.

honestly i’ve kinda stopped putting a whole lotta effort into fantasy in the last few years of my life in general because it’s so stagnant. so many writers and designers build their games, shows, books, etc. around that ‘western/central european medieval fantasy’ core that it’s exhausting. some settings, time periods and cultures i’d MUCH RATHER see portrayed, because they rarely/never are -

-middle eastern. kind of like east asian, most fantasy settings/shows/etc. will have a token ‘arabian nights’ middle eastern area, but it’s rarely expanded on and often incredibly stereotypical in its portrayal. could use some freshening up. similarly, ‘middle eastern’ is also lumped up with ottoman turkey, pre-islamic persia, etc. they’re all VERY distinct and could each be tackled interestingly but writers never do it -central asia. nobody EVER does central asia. i took a class on this area of the world when i was in college and my professor, who specialized in the region, called it ‘the most forgotten part of the world’. i bet i could count the number of people who know anything about kazakhstan or uzbekistan other than ‘the countries in that borat movie’ on one hand. they’re really diverse, cool places, too. lots of potential. -any part of african that’s not egypt, particularly sub-saharan africa. the indomitable kingdom of ethiopia, the mali empire. cool stuff to take inspiration from. -pre-roman british isles, outside of every game/story having ‘druids’ in it somewhere as nature-obsessed hippies -mesoamerica. i will admit this is a bias of mine, because i find mesoamerican history, culture and mythology absolutely fascinating. there are bits and pieces of this in some settings (warcraft has trolls who are i guess kinda mesoamerican, though playing up the more stereotypical parts like human sacrifice and cannibalism and stuff, and ffxiv ixali have NAMES that are at least evocative of nahuatl). mesoamerica is awesome, with its own unique language, culture, weapons, foods, religions, magic, society.. they even had CLASSES like JAGUAR WARRIORS and EAGLE WARRIORS and shit in the aztec empire. seems ready-built for a cool fantasy interpretation but not many actually try to build a whole world around it. -eastern europe, the balkans, medieval russia. outside of people knowing ‘dracula’ is vaguely eastern european, and ivan the terrible, most folks don’t even think about russia/slavic people before the russian revolution. slavic mythology and history is kind of awesome, with river-sirens drowning men and evil witches in swamps and three-headed dragons and evil gods and shit. -the indian subcontinent. neeeever see this outside of maybe some clothes and things that are vaguely indian. india is incredibly diverse and HUGE, ripe for inspiration. -southeast asia, with temples devoured by the jungle and monsters lurking in the trees. sometimes setting will have a singapore-esque city but i’m thinkin like thailand, vietnam. you never see these places portrayed.

i could go onnn and onnnn. main point STOP WRITING NOTHING BUT FUCKING WESTERN EUROPEAN SHIT

[rainvazquez-blog]

hey guys! my name’s lele, i’m 18, and my timezone is gmt -3. this is my first rp, so i’m still getting the hang of things, but i’m super excited to rp w you all !! here’s a little bit about rain:

so rain was born into a ‘hippie’ kinda family, her mom being like a tree pacifist and her dad working in environmental activism. when she was around 6, though, her parents used to fight all the time bc her dad started getting good promotions and job offers and turning into a pretty formal businessman kinda guy.

rain was 9 when her mom went off with one of her boyfriends to tour around the country for a medieval fair, and was raised by her dad since then.

when she was 11, she started getting a kick out of annoying her dad, who wanted her to become a big shot lawyer or something. so she started singing and writing songs, as well as fooling around w a lot of noisy instruments, like guitar and the drums, but found out her true passion was bass. 

when she turned 15, rain decided to audition to be in castle channel just to get her dad mad. she passed, and since her dad considered her a lost cause, he just sent her to do her own thing, claiming he didn’t want somebody with no academic future inside his household. at this point, her mom called on christmas, and occasionally on rain’s birthday. 

she’s really into the classics, whether it’s movies, songs, or books, but she appreciates some good recommendations of current works every once in a while.

she’s a very nice and warm person, but if you mess w her, she will literally bite your head off. 

she’s very spontaneous. she’ll decide to do random things out of the blue and drag her friends along with her. although this is really fun, she can be reckless sometimes because of it. 

because of the emotional detachment from her parents, rain has deep rejection issues and won’t let somebody in unless she knows they won’t just drop her for anything. for her to get really close to somebody, she has to trust them completely. when she does, though, she can be one of the truest, most loyal friend to have. because of all this, rain also has a slight problem w commitment because she’s scared people will get bored of her after a while. 

and that’s it, guys! message me if you want to plot, or like this and i’ll come to you!!
