Who initiated the kissing in the greenhouse?

ahhhh, the greenhouse kiss.

my magnum opus. ;)

shouldiactuallyfuckingwriteitgotohellunclenina!

smh, Any!Ways! i've been itching to talk about this, but it requires a lot of context, so i'll have to rewind time a lil and provide screenshots.

but before i begin:

again, it's probably my extreme levels of anxiety around being really annoying and irrelevant, however, this was sent to me a while ago and i am not sure how much we still care about lore around my dumb unfinished fanfiction, but i will say that, at the time i received this, i also had TWO Other Separate Anons who asked me questions about the greenhouse sequence and subsequent kiss and because i had only really mentioned it in a Couple...neither here nor there answers?

i was extremely surprised and flattered that it stood out enough to you to be asked about multiple times??? AAA?? again, i have the best readers in the world, thank you so much for caring. my face is red. ;-;

OKAY! FAIR WARNING!!!! THIS IS VERY, VERY, VEEERY LONG! and Lore Intensive. but you asked! so welcome to the shit show, baby!

so, to jog your re(memories), though, i highly doubt you'll need the refresher, you are all sharp as tacks and extremely brilliant, therefore, really just to set the scene for myself, we are in ravenstan's room,

which, because the crimson dawn sicktorian manwhorsion was ofc, once a very grand, luxurious upscale, upstate new york 1800s manor, a lot of the old furnishings stayed, so stan's room is basically this huge gothic vampire boy bedroom with a massive four column upholstery bed and beautiful black lace canopy that drapes down,

there's a huge dark-finish, wooden boudoir and matching vanity that is all hand-carved, very elegant, ancient and intricate...and also sticker-bombed with a million shitty, half-peeled skater-boy stickers...there's a chandelier and one of stan's combat boots is hanging from it and probably underwear, smh. metal posters all over the wall, dirty laundry all over the fancy ornate rug, half empty cheesy poof and taki bags, eye makeup smeared on Everything, especially the nice cool mirror, nasty crumbs in the bed ( stan did wipe those off before kyle sat...true luv ), lots of cringey stanime figurines on the old antique shelves. jers did comment on this like '...sailor moon?' and stan scoffed, a little defensive, and was like 'what's more badass and punk rock then a bunch of girls kicking ass and saving the galaxy?'

Hot Boy Shit.

so yes, we are in ravenstan's gothic victorian, chaotic boy fail disaster room, where stan is stripped ( literally ) of all his sexy lead-singer boy laviciousness, no dramatic eye makeup or perfectly blown out bleach blonde hair, no tiny vegan leather pants...rather, he is fresh from the shower in his big, ratty, holey terrance and phillip shirt, his uber lame skull and cross-bones pajama pants from the junior boys section of target, socks that don't match, his hair is back in the black standana, still damp, face bare, cheeks lightly flushed, where a blue star pimple patch sits on a very angry pimple, the lil stan beauty mark under his right eye is winking, lip ring shining in the romantic sicktorian lowlight of a crimson dawn, where he is nervously fiddling with his chipped black fingernails, sitting cross cross applesauce across from

...jerseykyle, secret love of his life, who looks perfect, even with his nightly skincare routine delayed from tonight's many dramas ( which, is really saying something, because kyle never delays his s.c., ever ) his hair is falling in effortless ginger waves about his sharp shoulders, the sun and moon glasses chain is gold and glorious, his green eyes, usually narrowed, are wide with wonder gazing over at raven of crimson dawn reduced to whoever he really is underneath it all, the fabric of his matching perfectly pressed silk flannel pajama set from marshalls extremely soft, however, his skin is slick with sweat and prickly after raven read his palms and said his love line was...long.

( help, lmao. )

what started out as a very awkward conversation and confrontation about raven of crimson dawn being trans has melted away into silly banter and shit-shooting between our two favorite boys who, though, by kyle's knowledge, have not known each other for more than a month, have extremely good conversational chemistry and are playful and vulnerable with each other in a way that suggests that they have been best friends and known each other all their lives...

...Interesting.

as their conversation moves from light-hearted subject matter and descends further into the darkness that surrounds very heavy shit, kyle, who has gotten pretty comfortable surprisingly, starts to speak in the heavy jersey accent before trying to smooth and iron it out.

this little exchange insues:

kyle says that, it's risky, but worth the reward, because ravenstan after a steep and shaky breath, dives into an abridged, sparknotes version of the pre-crimson dawn days, how it used to be a pipe dream, a little garage band thing the boys did for fun, hungry for fame but eating top ramen and drinking sunny d everyday, unaware that they would ever get recognized...

( my favorite pre-cd headstannon is actually is that on the fateful, fearful, tearful night of the concert they got scouted at, they're trying on their lil emo boy outfits in the bathroom to hype themselves up, stan is nervous to come out bc he thinks he looks stupid...he's wearing some dumb hot topic-y, party city vampire costume thing kenny got him as a joke w/ his eyeliner on...the boys get him to come out and they are all immediately GAGGED because why is our awkward, boy fail king...SEXY??? like stan why are you hOT??? and they start all barking and throwing money at him and trying to have him do a spin which was so nice bc he was so nervous. my boys. </3 )

then they do get recognized, shot into stardom and everything seems golden! but...it's pyrite. because cartman or the evil 'e' basically assigns them these little 'parts' to play in his perfectly placed show, stan says he just wanted to do what kenny did, sing his songs and not talk too much, just share his music...but e has kenny and stan swap personalities essentially and stan becomes raven. which, at first, was worth it because he got to preform, but it just became this thing he dreads, acting all high and mighty when he just feels fucking tiny and horrible, that he isn't allowed to write songs anymore and they all, essentially...Belong To E.

they have no freedom. no autonomy.

Whatsoever. </3

( sa tw :( it's a whole chapter and convo, obviously, stan also talks about working at ruffians, which is a massive gentleman's club but gentle those men were NOT, that his boss thought his name was too boring so they had him go by something ~exotic~ hence cuervo, which the man mistook for being reminiscent of the tequila brand jose cuervo, so those awful men just called him tequila day in and out while he was serving drinks...gazes and hands lingering, stan's boss telling him he could sing on stage on friday if let those rich men have their way...and that, unfortunately, thru those men, cd got signed. )

after that BOMBSHELL of a conversation, it's very sad and heartbreaking, but very eye-opening to kyle, who wrote raven off as this imbecilic, arrogant rockstar celebrity sheep who he's learned via the hate and this exchange, is extremely lovely, was treated horribly at every impasse of his life and remained kind and humble...he is like legitimately stunned by how perfectly imperfect raven of cd is.

speeeeaking of...okay, sorry, all of that was leading to

This.

so, ravenstan's eyes are rimmed red...the way one's would if they had been crying, he's also been periodically sniffling. feeling rarely kind and gentle, jerseykyle very tentatively asks if he's been crying and hope that it's not because kyle saw him in the mirror.

...i've talked about this before, but, bear with me:

stan shakes his head and tells him that it's because he's been reading a lot of insidious internet comments about him. marjorine told him not to, but it's hard not to listen when everyone is talking about you. he goes onto say that for every person that 'loves' him, five other people hate him. that there's always something wrong with him. his eyes are too far apart or close together, his lips are a weird shape, one hip is bigger than the other. there are accounts dedicated just to zooming in on his pants, weird horrible deep fake porn of him, the paps catching him buying tampons, trying to figure out who they're for and if he's secretly seeing someone ( he laughs and smiles, but it doesn't meet his eyes ) and that...he feels hideous. :(

this exchange happens, my favorite exchange in the fic:

( yes, we've all read it...here it is again. )

after that, overcome with emotion, ravenstan pulls jerseykyle in a very tender, loving embrace, holds him, thanks him, kyle is blushing, stan says he really needed to hear that...the deeper meaning of which crimson dawns on kyle when, suicide tw, during that hug, over his shoulder, he notices a VERY LARGE bottle of sleeping pills :( on his nightstand and a handle of vodka. ravenstan also mentioned being very tired of everything and just wanting to...sleep for a long time.

this does...deeply concern kyle. he tries not to dwell on it.

because, he's looking at raven of crimson dawn, in all his awkward, sweet boy, perfect-imperfect glory, who, in that vein, has a little bit of cinnamon flavored toothpaste left on his bottom lip.

yes...jersey was staring at it. intently. that gay ass bitch.

he goes to swipe it off raven's lip, which his thumb gently caresses, running over ravenstan's lovely lip ring, his heart is RACING.

stan puts his hand over kyle's before he can pull it away and feeling particularly brave, is about to ask jersey Something Important!

but gets interrupted.

this part which i didn't get to write is Integral and devastating to me because we watch all of stan's vulnerability IMMEDIATELY VANISH, hes undoing his hair, trying to shake it out, shakily pouring himself a very healthy-unhealthy shot, doing like two of them, is rushing around trying to find his hot boy clothes and starts...

doing the raven voice again.

fUUUUUUUUUUUCk.

raven, basically pretending like none of that happened is like, 'well, that's my cue, new jersey. i've got to get changed, but you're welcome to stick around...i'll give you a free show.' ;) <3 xxx

jerseykyle is...Haunted by this. bc he just watched the boy that he'd been getting to know very intimately and preciously in his bedroom immediately transform into this...Monster they made him into.

kyle declines, makes his leave, confused and dismayed, but while raven's back is turned, he steals the big pill bottle bc he's worried.

and that chapter, my favorite, ends with this.

AAAAAAAAAAAA I KNOW RIGHT!!!

Moving On! to the greenhouse chapter.

here's some more context you don't need:

flash forward. it's the big dramatic punk rock party ( rager, more like ) the label threw at the crimson dawn manwhorsion to celebrate marjorine's sindotrination into the band.

like i mentioned once or twice in another lore ask, j.k. has been drinking aaaaa lot, so he is very white boy SCHWASTED and seeking out a missing raven of crimson dawn who, in his stupefying stupor, is finding he is very attracted to and wants to kiss...very bad, lmao.

but yeah! finds him in his special stan greenhouse for gay boys who are nerdy about plants. jersey kyle is looking fierce as fuck, his hair is curly whirly, his sharp canines are pearly, i think he's wearing a black turtleneck and slacks, he looks chic and sleek, he is, however, slurring and shit-faced, swirling his wine around his crystal skull wine glass whilist RELENTLESSLY flirting with raven of crimson dawn.

who, again, is rarely sober, he's wearing a little gardening apron over his party outfit ( aw ), his hair is back in the standana, there's a lil dirt on his cheek, he is stuttering and stammering so much omg.

BUT, OKAY, AS FOR THE KISS! the lead in is this:

sober ravenstan is trying to hydrate very drunk jerseykyle all like "kyle broflovski, when was the last time you drank water?" and kyle being a nasty disgusting floozy is like "can't rememba...buuuut my name sounds good in ya mouth." ;) JAIL! GO TO HELL! but ravenstan, trying to be logical because he knows kyle can't is like "kyle, i need you to be serious. you have your civil procedures class at seven and that advanced legal research at nine and after that you've got--"

and kyle's entire world stops. because raven of crimson dawn, who has the world's worst case of adhd and cannot remember anything...

memorized his school schedule. :')

THIS HAPPENS...

AND BAM!!!! GREENHOUSE KISS. <333

which...Whew. very quickly escalates into a very messy makeout session, the greenhouse windows are fogging up from the HEAT. at one point which i tried to reference in the vampire mv para i'm writing, jersey kyle knocks a bunch of plants in pots sitting up on this shelf to put stan on it. there is a part in six where while jersey is stiring his lasagna sauce in the kitchen, stan sits up on the counter like a nasty slutty skanky indecent boy with no manners, kyle smakcs his tiny ass with the kochlefl and was like "it's rude to sit on counters."

soooo naturally, stan, breathlessly, being a little shit is like "i thought it was rude to sit on counters." and kyle is like "oh, so now you want to be polite?" AND NO HE DOES NOT! ;) because it's getting freak nasty in there, my woooord, ravenstan is trying to get kyle's shirt off my goodness and, jk, you know, not wanting to rush into anything is like "raven, i think--i think we should slow down" and stan, smirking, not listening ( stan special ) and is v liberally kissing down kyle's neck ( which, fun fact, jersey's neck is very sensitive and if you ever want kyle to shut up, that will immediately make him dead quiet ) says...

"you talk too much, mi sabelotodo." ;)

WHIIIIIIIIIICH...was the wrong thing to say, girls, gays and theys...

because jerseykyle immediately pulls back...

IN HORROR.

but that's an ask for another day. :* <3 xxx

#rm spoilers #anyways i'll edit the tags later #sorry this was crazy i feel bad yall never get content #free free to ask questions if u have them #sorry this was...So Much #i was feeling zesty today i will be editing it for quality control the spelling is really bad but i think we get the point yeah?

Fieldwork Activity #1 : Making Telfars Unfamiliar

The history of Telfar

The first Telfar bag was created by self -taught queer black designer Telfar Clemens. Telfar was born and raised in Queens , New York and created his self -named fashion house in 2005. While in high school at New York's P.S. 206, Clemens's teacher wrote monograms for all of their students. The monogram the teacher gave to Clemens later became the brand's signature logo. Clemens won the Vogue Fashion Fund award which led him further into the spotlight. It was very important for the Telfar bag to seen as completely unisex bag that any , and everybody could wear without the labels. In 2014 the first bag was introduced at the Autumn/Winter 2014 runway show , but did not receive a lot of recognition until 2018. For a long period of time queer black people in New York City were ubiquitous supporters of Telfar , that is until celebrities such as Solange, A$AP Ferg, and Kelsey Lu begin to wear the bag publicly. In August of 2020, Telfar introduced the Bag Security Program, a one-day-only online event in which allowed thousands of people to preorder guaranteed bags. During the New York Fashion week Telfar Clemens hosted his first pop-up shop in Brooklyn where thousands of people showed up shutting down traffic for hours. This caused Clemens to host another pop up except this time online. Since the Telfar bag has been launched there has often been conversations about whether it is considered a luxury item or not. Telfar bags typically retail for $200-$500, far less than other highly-desired handbags by the likes of Chanel, Prada. Telfar bags are now one of the most sought after bags in the world.

Manufacturing of Telfar Bags

Telfar bags like most luxury bags are manufactured in China. The logo featured on telfar bags are of a T inside a C, a form of his initials created by one of Telfar’s childhood teachers. Telfar's financial model is unique due to the fact that it is a self financed production. The massive increase in demand, has caused Clemens to have to double the size of the headquarters in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and have leased a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in New Jersey to manage their own fulfillment. To manufacture a Telfar bag factory workers use vegan leather and it features both cross-body straps and handles so it can be worn multiple ways. It contains a 45 degree sticking angle with two types of straps, double top handles and shoulder straps. Every bag contains an additional brand tag that reads "Telfar / EST . 2005, NYC". It comes in a variety of colors and blends fashion and function, and has a decent amount of carrying space.

Impact of Telfar on Me

In the past I would never be caught dead considering myself a purse kind of girl" that is until I discovered Telfar bags. Whenever it came to wearing purses or bags I would avoid it at all cost because it made me feel to girly. When I first ever saw someone with a Telfar bag my initial thought was that it was cute but I would never get one. Fast forward to today and I have now found myself being a collector of these bags. I grew up in a working /middle class household and was not always able to afford designer bags such as Chanel , or Luis Vuitton. As these Telfar bags became more popular I officially decided that I wanted one and once I saw that they were not as expensive as I thought , i never went back. Telfar bags have not only allowed me to express myself but make me feel good anytime I wear it.

Conditions of Factories

There is little to no information on the condition of the factory workers , however Telfar Clemson has stated that there is an exceptional quality of work and flexibility when working with manufacturers.

The Allure of Luxury Bags: Craftsmanship and Authenticity

In the world of fashion, luxury bags have long been a symbol of style, sophistication, and status. These exquisite accessories are not merely functional; they are a testament to the skill and artistry of their creators. From the finest leather to the most intricate hardware, every detail that goes into the making of a luxury bag is carefully considered and expertly executed.

The Finest Leathers

The foundation of any luxury bag is the leather used in its construction. Designers and manufacturers source the most supple, durable, and visually appealing leathers from around the world. Some of the most sought-after leathers include:

Calfskin: Known for its smooth texture and durability, calfskin is a popular choice for luxury bags.

Crocodile: Exotic and luxurious, crocodile leather is prized for its unique pattern and strength.

Ostrich: With its distinctive dimpled texture and natural sheen, ostrich leather adds a touch of elegance to any bag.

Intricate Hardware

The hardware on a luxury bag is more than just a functional necessity; it is an integral part of the design. From the gleaming zippers to the sturdy clasps and buckles, each piece of hardware is carefully selected to complement the overall aesthetic of the bag. Zippers, Sliders, hooks, Buckles, and chains are the accessories used in making bags

Meticulous Stitching

The stitching on a luxury bag is not just a means of holding the pieces together; it is a work of art in itself. Skilled artisans use specialized techniques to ensure that each stitch is perfectly aligned and evenly spaced, creating a seamless and visually appealing finish.

Luxurious Linings

While the exterior of a luxury bag may steal the spotlight, the interior is equally important. Designers often use high-quality fabrics and materials to line the inside of their bags, ensuring that they are as beautiful as they are functional.

The Luxury Bag Industry and Counterfeiting

The luxury bag industry is a multi-billion dollar market, with brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Hermès leading the way. However, with the rise in demand for luxury bags comes an increase in counterfeiting. Counterfeit bags are often made with inferior materials and craftsmanship, and their sale can fund other illegal activities.

To combat counterfeiting, luxury brands have implemented various measures, such as using unique serial numbers and holograms on their products. They also work closely with law enforcement agencies to crack down on counterfeit operations.

Embracing Sustainability in Luxury Bags

As consumers become more conscious of the environmental impact of their purchases, some luxury brands are embracing sustainability in their bag production. Brands like Hie use sustainable materials such as vegan leather and recycled materials in their designs. They also focus on minimizing waste and using environmentally friendly packaging.

By choosing to purchase from brands that prioritize sustainability and authenticity, consumers can enjoy the luxury and style of a designer bag while supporting ethical practices in the industry.

In conclusion, the creation of a luxury bag is a true art form, requiring the expertise of skilled artisans and the finest materials. From the selection of the leather to the intricate stitching and hardware, every detail is carefully considered and executed to create a bag that is not only beautiful but also built to last. Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of luxury bags, there is no denying the allure of these exquisite accessories.

The Rise of Copy Luxury Bags in China

China has become a global hub for the production and sale of copy luxury bags, with a thriving industry that caters to consumers' desire for high-end fashion at more affordable prices. These first-copy handbags closely resemble the originals in terms of design, materials, and craftsmanship but do not feature the designer's logo or branding to avoid infringing on intellectual property rights.

The copy-bags industry in China has grown significantly in recent years, with platforms like Alibaba offering a marketplace for sourcing these products directly from factories. Many traditional Chinese manufacturers have shifted their focus to producing copy bags after losing international orders due to rising labor costs. These companies, often known as "shanzhai" or "mountain village" brands, have established their own fashion labels to sell the items they produce.

One such example is Zhejiang Bagpipe Clothing Co. Limited, a company based in Wenzhou that produces a full ready-to-wear collection, including clothes, shoes, and accessories. While their products closely resemble those of established luxury brands, they argue that their designs represent a disruption to the traditional high fashion industry rather than a theft.

The rise of copy bags has been facilitated by the increasing skill of counterfeit manufacturers in producing nearly identical replicas of luxury handbags. These "super fakes" are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from the originals, even for trained experts. The COVID-19 pandemic has also contributed to the growth of the copy-bags industry, with online platforms making it easier for consumers to access these products.

Despite the efforts of luxury brands to combat counterfeiting, the copy bags industry in China continues to thrive. Many consumers are drawn to the affordability and accessibility of these products, with some even embracing the subversive nature of owning a fake bag. However, the sale of counterfeit goods can fund other illegal activities and cause serious losses to luxury brands through lost sales and diminished brand excitement.

As China continues to position itself as a global leader in innovation and creativity, the copy-bags industry presents a complex challenge. While some argue that it represents a bottom-up practice of creativity and disruption, others maintain that it is a form of intellectual property theft that must be addressed. Ultimately, the future of the copy-bags industry in China will depend on the ability of luxury brands, policymakers, and consumers to navigate these competing interests and find a balance between innovation and authenticity.

The Rise of Leather Crop Tops: Fashion's Boldest Statement Piece

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, trends come and go, but some pieces have a staying power that cements their status as timeless essentials. One such piece making waves in recent years is the leather crop top. Combining the edginess of leather with the playful, modern silhouette of a crop top, this garment has quickly become a favorite among fashion enthusiasts and influencers alike.

A Blend of Boldness and Versatility

Leather crop tops are the epitome of bold fashion. The luxurious texture of leather adds an instant edge to any outfit, making a strong statement. Whether you're dressing up for a night out or aiming for a chic, casual look, a leather crop top can elevate your ensemble effortlessly. Available in a range of styles from sleek and minimalist to adorned with studs and zippers, these tops cater to diverse fashion tastes.

Styling Tips for Every Occasion

Casual Day Out

For a casual yet stylish look, pair a black leather crop top with high-waisted jeans. This combination strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and edgy. Add a pair of white sneakers and a crossbody bag to complete the look. Opt for minimal accessories to let the crop top take center stage.

Office Chic

Yes, you can wear a leather crop top to the office! Choose a high-neck or sleeved leather crop top and pair it with a high-waisted midi skirt or tailored trousers. Layering a blazer over your top adds a touch of professionalism while still allowing your bold piece to shine. Finish the look with pointed-toe heels and understated jewelry.

Caring for Your Leather Crop Top

Maintaining the pristine condition of your leather crop top is crucial for its longevity. Here are some tips to keep it looking as good as new:

Cleaning: Always follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Typically, leather should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the material.

Storage: Store your leather crop top in a cool, dry place. Use padded hangers to maintain its shape and prevent creases.

Conditioning: Leather needs to be conditioned periodically to prevent it from drying out and cracking. Use a high-quality leather conditioner and follow the application instructions carefully.

Vegan leather crop tops are an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy the look and feel of leather without the ethical concerns.
