#when i DO

Ever find a hyperfixation that absolutely fits your vibe, but just haven't gotten around to it?

like I am sooooo legend of zelda-coded. Could definitely see that as a possible obsession in my future. Fanfic writers have absolutely interpreted me as a Zelda kid.

Is it easy to hide from friends, roommates or family that you intentionally eat more and therefore buy a lot more food?

this is SUCH a good question!!! it is not easy at all :(( my friends don’t mind because i’ve been a glutton like this for a decade, but roommates are a whole different matter. i will admit my food takes up most of the freezer and fridge 😭 i’ve talked to them though and they know that if there are any issues concerning it, they can talk to me and we’ll figure it out :)) i also share a lot of my food so it’s not too much of an issue

my family though agsksjshs. they’re the difficult ones… obviously any food i take is going to be noticed by them, so when i’m visiting i try to cut back on what needs to be refrigerated / frozen

this holiday season, however, i’m trying a strategy called “eating so much there’s nothing to hide”

didn't want to ask this in the replies but what is your process like for designing clothing for characters bc not only do they look gorgeous but you always put so much thought into your stuff, esp the historical kind. it smthin i've always kind of struggled with tbh and you make it so interesting

oh man it kinda. varies? depending on what kind of clothing i want out of a character. this gets kinda long too but bear w me lol

the fashion pieces i do, i spend a lot of time going thru fashion editorials for poses and pick up pieces of different outfits or silhouettes that i want out of a piece. for stuff like a set occupation (hunter, butcher, blacksmith) it's abt knowing time period and finding the pattern between different photos.

the more complicated ones are like. odelia and euan. where im creating a whole piece that's frankensteined from a couple different styles (rococo, georgian, regency, etc). i think the three main types of information i depend on are Goal, Silhouette, and Fabric.

so Odelia and Euan. the goals for them are very different, bc Odelia strives to be the center of attention while Euan tries to blend in with the background.

Odelia needs something extravagant and flashy, maybe brightly colored and shiny; pastels and wide skirts would be good for her, and rococo is a good place to find both. satin is good for shine and lace is good for detail, and both are relatively light materials. Euan would want something a little more subdued, possibly a tighter silhouette so he's not taking up much space. i found a picture of a russian noble while i was sifting thru various noble clothing designs, and i liked the way the silhouette was tighter and cleaner. he'd also need darker colors if he wants to hide in the shadows. i like the way darker colors look in velvet, and it's a thicker, heavier fabric, which was another trait in the photo i was referencing. i also like the weight and thickness of quilted fabric so throw that in there for fun and detail. lastly, being as they're twins and high priests, they need a way to tie the designs to each other, and i settled on a thicker neckline that suits both styles in different ways. the finished concept looks a bit like this.

granted this is always subject to change, and its a v simple version of the design i want, but its a good start

with designs like that i also like looking for textiles! rococo patterns are so pretty too, so i picked one for Euan as well. the off white would be shared between the two designs, the lighter blues for Odelia, and the darker blues for Euan

wheeze that's a rough estimation of how i go thru designs, there's a type of practicality and personality i want out of most of them so i try to research what i can when i want smth specific. part of this is admittedly bc i. am a lil obsessed w period clothing, so i already have some of that in my back pocket, but i also think just typing in "[year] fashion" is a fair place to start. regardless, having fun is a Must when you're designing clothes for a character so dont forget that bit lol. i wish you luck and godspeed, friend!

idk how to word it in some prolific way but once you are far enough on hrt, you can become so imperceptible to the cis expectations of what a trans person is that they no longer know which way you are transitioning. I've been clocked as both a trans woman and a trans man on the same day. going to any bathroom is a nightmare. as someone without a binary gender, it's cool, but it introduces such a slew of social issues. I don't regret being on hrt but this experience is one I never saw talked about, and it's probably one of the more difficult parts of transitioning that I wasn't... really fully prepared for.

"and god"

And god we're standing

Standing in the kitchen like kids

And god she sounds tired

Tired like she ran a marathon

And god she's complaining

Complaining, but oh how I love her

And god she's smiling

Smiling like the sun

And god she sways

Sways the curtains hit by wind

And god she falls

Falls like a hammer dropped on a foot

And god she's silent

Silent like a freezing night

And god I'm kneeling

Kneeling on the floor next to her head

And god she's barely breathing

Breathing that falls like linen off the line

And god there's tears

Tears falling off of her like rain

And god she's not even awake

Not awake like being awake doesn't matter

And god she's

And god she's

And

god

she's

Awakening

Awakening to a world of white and sterile

...I write sad things sometimes <3

Perhaps a bit unnecessary to comment on Scott’s appearance. At times other coaches look tired as well. Not everyone is as ageless Marie France or Madi!

you're right, if you said to my face out of nowhere, you look tired, i wouldn't like that. but with all due respect, i feel like tumblr is a funny gray area where it's sometimes ok to say things that are a bit unnecessary - i would never say it to his face, and i imagine you wouldn't correct me to my face either for saying in my own space that someone looks tired.

i gently question whether calling women ageless is a good thing - it's culturally conditioned that women are more valuable if they're youthful, and i think it's healthier for us if we don't accept that. i saw Marie France last summer - she looks older now than the last time i saw her a few years ago, and she's gorgeous and elegant and confident whatever her age. Madi's 31, how much younger could she look

anyway, you mention their appearance and other coaches’s as well, so that tells me you don’t have an issue talking about someone’s appearance and that this is specifically about Scott. I know there are people who are very sensitive to perceived slights towards him because of fandom chaos in the past, so i'm sorry if i've upset you. i am mindful of boundaries, we may have a different idea of what they should be, but we're probably not that far apart.

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:

Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.

So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:
