most clothing historians: hey so corsets weren't actually the unilateral torture devices they get portrayed as in fiction. most women wore them in a comfortable, or at least tolerable, manner on an everyday basis and it's kind of messed up that we're ignoring their lived experiences to promote a false narrative
too many people online: UM BUT THEY WEREN'T ALL GOOD THEY WEREN'T PERFECT AND WONDERFUL FOREVER. THAT'S DEFINITELY WHAT YOU JUST SAID. YOU LOVE CORSETS SO SO MUCH AND THINK THEY COULD NEVER BE HARMFUL AND I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY TORTURE DEVICES SOMETIMES. WE'RE LOSING SIGHT OF THAT. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE BAD SOMETIMES. AND UNCOMFORTABLE. AND PATRIARCHAL. DON'T FORGET THAT!!! DID YOU FORGET IT? I WILL REMIND YOU SINCE YOU SEEM TO WORSHIP CORSETS OR SOMETHING
Edit: while I appreciate people weighing in on their corset thoughts in the notes, this isn’t really meant to be about whether corsets are good or bad, or comfortable or not. It’s about people inventing this mostly-strawman character of “historical costumer who thinks corsets are the best thing ever with no nuance“ and responding to it

in honor of FHJY, I recreated That Photo in heroforge.
they don't have martini glass in heroforge :/ i was going to do the chalice but it's too high fantasy, so he has some sort of brown liquid instead [whiskey? scotch? i'm sorry i don't drink] instead of a martini. I tried to do kalina's hand as if it was holding a martini glass though.
I also realized like 90% of the way through the extremely detailed and difficult advance posing process that brennan specifies that kalina is "a little taller than pok, probably 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall" and heroforge has like. specific height measurements that are supposed to correspond to real life heights. and my kalina is way way too big. but resizing her would erase like a solid hour of work so maybe another time. she's still "a little taller than pok", probably just a little more tall than she would've been.
I was torn b/w the furry animal torso and smooth animal torso, but since Kalina is specifically described as looking like a domestic housecat, I feel like the furry one is too shaggy and unkempt. I wish her claws were more subtle but thems the breaks.
it doesn't specify whether kalina's arm is also around pok, but doing other poses just looked weird. if kalina was the right size it would be around his waist not his shoulder but again, thems the breaks.
someday, if heroforge finally adds a suit jacket that is fully buttoned up, i will put it on pok. they have open suit jacket and one button buttoned suit jacket, but none where both buttons are buttoned. this is my purgatory.
they also don't have any like. 'satin' cloth pre-made color. i'm actually pretty proud of how her dress turned out.
here's one of pok alone [as most people see the photo]

Guys how large do you think Greenscreen's file was?
It took 5 hours and 42 minutes to encode. Their reedited version took 11 seconds.
What in the world did they do to it?

Adaine: here's my question. Why aren't you having nightmares?
Riz: you don't go to sleep right?
Kristen: me?
Adaine: No, Riz has nightmare -- right? Riz goes to sleep.
Riz: yea I've been attacked several times in the night.
Adaine: but you haven't had nightmares
Riz: in a way my life is a nightmare, but I haven't had actual nightmares, that's true

Went to pay a radiology bill today that I had let slip for a few months. No threats have been made or anything. So, I go to their website to pay, and the amount they say I owe is nearly double what my first bill said. I pay what MY bill in my hand says and go hunting down statements.
Somehow, I went to a radiology clinic for a detailed mammogram and an ultrasound and got one of each, but the updated statement from August is charging me for the detailed mammogram, a mammogram, and an ultrasound.
But the original bill was charging me for a detailed mammogram and a mammogram.
I did NOT get my first mammogram from that radiology clinic. I was SENT to that clinic after my yearly mammogram looked odd (It's fine; just boob meat shift from the smallering it seems).
Anyway, I will be calling the clinic on Monday and explaining that there is clearly a mistake, and I have paid them everything I owe them.

At the end of the day in DC fandom, people can obviously headcanon whatever they want when it comes to character's physical appearance, but I always find it so fascinating when people have these WILD height headcanons when like.... most of these characters have canon heights. Like you don't even have to headcanon it. The data is right there?????
