(( got my fabric designs in! gonna work out some background screw-ups (some lines aren't matched perfectly and I need to redo star's bg completely) when spoo.nflower feels like functioning.

these fat quarters will probably become hip bags. waste not want not. ))

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

Did I just spend like 10 hours making my Looks to the Moon plushie a sundress?

Yes. Yes absolutely.

I have never sewn doll clothing in my life, nor have I knitted in over a year. I did not do any measurements so it is very wonky, but it's ok she looks cute <3

In the morning I need to take some photos of her actually in the sun :D But for now... it is 1am. I need to sleep. Goodnight folks

#looks to the moon #rainworld #rain world #rw lttm #i figured she needed something better than a tattered cloak #this is a nice soft fabric for her #im normal about moon #clearly #obviously #ghost art #ghost rambles

i knwo a lot of people like the aos cadet and dress uniforms but i do Not and am actively trying to think up alternatives…… with tos kirk though lmao sorry

#anyways. tos kirk thiugh #ive never tried to draw this man younger until now. hm #star trek #captain kirk #james t kirk #also the into darkness grey ones theyre actually way worse than 2009 #like if we’re gonna stick with modern/current common cuts why not at least do something a little more different with the paneling or #color blocking or whatever #theres a tiny bit of interest w the paneling but over all just looks like if you took a japanese school uniform and westernized it and #made it worse #the all red is fun though ill give it that #the grey ones from into darkness have absolutely nothing going for them though #anyways of course costuming will always depend on the time period that it is made. but it looks sooo 2010 i mean this in a bad way #also whatever fabric was chosen for ghe red ones pisses me off idk #anyways i dunno anything about fashion. im just drawing things

I'm a stiff breeze away from custom ordering my own organic fabrics and making my own damn clothes and im not joking

#if anybody knows where to get decent quality organic fabrics like silks or pima cotton or something hmu #i hate the fashion industry so much its unreal im not buying plastic bullshit made to fall apart that feels awful #not even to mention the unethical labor practices #i need to make my own weirdo dresses or ill doomspiral #fashion #casinos whining hour #just yakkin

first 3 rug hooking things I did haha

#rug hooking #artists on tumblr #I still really like the swan one #was originally gonna be the gift one but I didn't like how the swan yarn was shiny #snail one was the what the fuck am I doing haha so loops are kinda all over hte place/uneven #star one was more relaxed/messing around with yarn #for the square diamond ones kinda wanna do more square ones and either connect them all #or just hang them on the wall next to each other so they look like one piece or something #fabrication #working on the sea otter one now #edit: oH also where I learned a bunch of stuff was from a youtube channel called ribbon candy hooking #videos are very informative and the lady is chill/has interesting comments

I know little to nothing about Ludovica's partner, but to me seems she'd wear pink or purple (tho idk if those colors were popular during the 1500s) pink because itd be a neat contrast with ludo's green, purple because its a regal color

I also keep stubbornly visualizing her in pink! Not barbie pink but something along the lines of dusty rose or light mauve. I don't think I've ever seen pictures of any proper pink being worn in late renaissance times though, it doesn't exactly fit the aesthetic (but I could be wrong of course). Most pastel colors are strongly rococo (1700's) coded to me.

#I'm sure there are people who know a lot about the history of fabric dyes and why pink only became popular in the 1700's #but I'm not one of them weh #was it difficult to manufacture or something? I know saturated red and purple were expensive until synthetic dyes were invented #answered #anonymous #I think I'll see if she looks nice in pink and if she does I'll just use that #I try to do my research but in the end I'm not aiming for strict authenticity #artistic liberties have been and continue to be taken #see fig. 1: my beloved anachronistic clawfoot tub
