#you dont think of it at the time but the way someone speaks and their writing style really is so unique

[3liza]

also frm Flickr are these 20 year old webcam shots. if you have ever wondered why i dont show up more on "mall goth" type nostalgia blogs despite being old and physically present for many of the events that were archived and also doing a lot of modeling work at the time, the reason (besides simply just not being as visually appealing as many more accomplished fashion people, scene personalities or models, let's have some humility here ok) is that a lot of people during that period in the scene were dressing very oddly for the scene's standards, either because we couldnt afford Lip Service prices or because we enjoyed standing out in a sea of black, or because we were strongly influenced by the DIY and thrifting culture of the Gen X goths, or all three. so blogs that are working on a mission of documenting specific fashion moments are going to need to cut the chaff of members of a certain scene showing up off-model, essentially. but as a historical record its sort of a shame because it ends up presenting an image of the scene that is a lot more homogenous than the historical reality.

regional differences are also significant, in the bay area for example the goth scene was and is inextricably linked with the Burning Man scene, the circus scene, and the OG Gen X hacker scene, meaning cyberpunk (as opposed to cybergoth), steampunk, circus/carnival/burlesque, and Mad Max type influences were a lot heavier there than in other parts of the world. this resulted in a local style, strongly influenced by the boutique store Five and Diamond, that the locals self-effacingly referred to as "featherleather".

these are webcam pics of one of my outfits around 2005-2008, so around the time i joined Abney Park and was working on their production design, turning them into a "steampunk band", BEFORE i moved to SF but already showing the west coast influences. the New Rocks were definitely expensive but i got them during a huge sale, i think everything else im wearing here is thrifted except the hat, which was a gift from zoetica and is from Plastik Wrap, whom i also modeled for but the photoshoot just didn't work out for a bunch of different reasons.

speaking of stuff tht didn't work out, a variation of this outfit was later photographed by Angel Ceballos for a chinese fashion magazine that i also ended up doing some editorial/journalistic work for but i don't think their project ever coalesced because im not sure if they were ever in print or just pdf or ???? that's kind of how it goes with about 60% of the stuff you do and are hired for or volunteer for when youre doing any type of creative work for hire, a lot of it just disappears

you can definitely see in these pics that i just had a lot of aesthetic shortcomings in terms of presenting something on-message for the place and time? im not really sure how to describe it, part of it is the autism talking, just that feeling of always never quite being good enough to fit in and not really understanding what expectations i wasn't living up to. im struggling to present this information in a way that doesnt sound muffled, like it's coming from inside my own asshole, so please be patient with me. i present this as an archival curiosity only, because reproducing these images onto multiple platforms and providing context is the only way a lot of historical information survives, so i'm really writing this for someone running a search string in 15 years, not for any of us right at this moment. also this is my blog, despite everything

[timcassie]

ive been posting a lot of 2019 suit glaze so heres my annoying breakdown post of everything i like abt the fraction run suit. under the cut bc the cropped imgs are still big as hell its crazy.

the logo is so 90s im completely obsessed. its basically if you took tim's og logo and squashed it down and left a teeny bit. beautiful. sharp. his ass would make it a gradient.

HOLY WINGED EYELINER BATMAN!!! when it's drawn actually on tim the middle diamond stretches more and reads a little as a bird silhouette. kinda. maybe im reaching BUT IT LOOKS REALLY COOL! more spikes, im a big fan of the spike theme this freak is going with.

i saw someone say they liked that his cape now truly cloaked him bc it adds to the idea that he is batman's partner over sidekick. and it has not left my brain. they are Both in the shadows sneaking around together. how cute. i love the yellow lining the front & im so glad it's kept the yellow on the inside. truly an important part of his robin fit from the beginning i dont like when it's taken.

ACTUAL SPECIFIC PLACE FOR THE STAFF WROW! DETAILS <3 at first glance it kind of seems inconvenient however!! w tim specifically i think he's just been using it and altering its placement and build for so long and so many times im willing to believe he can grab it and return it there without struggle. also it kinda looks like maybe the holder can rotate which would be cool.

the flow of the colors here just works. ive seen ppl say the red & black doesnt work w/o the trunks design but i think just the full red adds more to the maturity aspect & this suit really being his. he's always been defined by his need to keep robin the way dick introduced it so i think moving away from the general shaping of patterns is a good move.

i like the full black gauntlets too it adds an intimidation factor.

& w/ the gaunlets i like that they & the boots act as padding for the shoulders and knees as well. id love to know what kinda material the boots are made of to allow for mobility and durability but it's just a neat little detailing that does feel very tim.

the fully red staff as well looks so cool. there are arguments that there should be black detailing but i think that takes away from how the staff has always been very plain & unassuming looking. to the enemies who dont know its just a big fuckin stick. unaware that it's the product of years of engineering and perfecting to be the right metal, weight, voltage, etc. i like it being simpler tbh. <- speaking of i hope we get to see him shock people again its the funniest thing hes added to his weaponry arsenal. why did he do that. i love it. bring it back.

i think if theyre going w the shave i wish the back was brought down closer to his ear but i do like that in this img it looks like a hedgehog. it gets a pass for the hedgehogisms. for now.

i will be blunt and say the bottom of the boots are not working for me at all but we also havent seen this suit truly in action yet so idk maybe in more combat settings theyll grow on me.

all n all the bright red and deep black are very tim. taking the 'robin' literally with the colors sort of (red underbelly grey-ish back yellow beak its so good guys like we have to appreciate it). the red suit has always been a fall-back for him when things get weird in the family situation so i like the idea that damian takes claim of the og colors to try and center himself and tim using the fall-back again but not bc things are bad, but bc hes being nice. its a cool way of showing moving on while still keeping him as robin. generally just a great design. here's jorge liking my qrt of my excitement that tim is back in the red and black.

I guess • y.j

It was your first sleepover. You were so excited and you couldn't stop thinking about it. It was with your friend group that consisted of chris,minho,changbin,hyunjin,han,felix,seungmin and jeongin. Even though they were all guys,you felt safe enough to have your first sleepover with them.

But the sleepover itself was not the only reason why you were so excited. It was the fact that you would spend the whole night with your crush, jeongin.

All the boys except him knew about the crush and would always tease you subtly. They would also encourage you to tell him,but you would refuse since you weren't sure if he liked you. You had thought about the possibility of him liking you based on some of the things he would do but most of the time you would call them a coincidence. For example, you could see him staring at you all the time,or staring at your lips when you were talking to him. He would also always compliment you when he saw you.But those weren't signs of him liking you, right?

The day had finally came. You were super excited. You had dedicated all morning into taking an everything shower, picking out your outfits, styling your hair and putting on makeup.As the afternoon was approaching, you got dressed. The outfit you were wearing on your way to the Chris's apartment was simple but you felt confident in it. It was a tank top,with sweatpants and a matching sweater.As you packed all of your other essentials, you headed to the apartment. On your way there, you stopped to get some snacks, as you believed that going into someones home empty handed was rude.

A couple of minutes went by and you were finally there. Your heart was beating so fast,you thought it would break.

Going into the house,chris was at the door waiting for you. As soon as you saw him,you hugged him giving him the snacks.

You went to the living room,greeting the boys. Everyone was there,except jeongin. Disappointed you asked the men where he was.

<< he just got out of the shower, he's gonna be here soon>> Changbin said.

Relaxed you sat to the couch where felix,han and hyunjin were sitting.

You all had decided to watch a scary movie. Before it started, minho yelled at jeongin to come out because the movie was starting.

After some moments of silence, you saw him.

His hair was dripping wet and messy. He was wearing a tank top and grey baggy sweats,matching your outfit. He had a dainty necklace around his neck and an earring on his ear. His face was also gorgeous. His eyes were looking directly at you and his lips looked juicy and kissable.

He immediately greeted you,giving you a hug from the back and kissing the top of your head as he always did.

You shivered at the feeling but you tried to play it off.

<<jeongin sit down,the movie is starting >> chan yelled in an annoyed tone. After looking around,jeongin finally sat across from you. You were kinda disappointed, since you wanted to sit next to him,but you brushed the feeling off,realizing you could stare at him while he wasn't looking.

Fast forward, the movie had ended and the boys were getting ready to go to sleep. Half of them would sleep in the bedroom and the other half would sleep at the guest room.

Everyone except you and jeongin.

Everyone knew about your crush so they had made sure to make you sleep in the same place,the living room.

Some time had passed and everyone was in their room. You were about to go to sleep too until he started talking.

<< im not sleepy yet,wanna talk?>>he said and you obviously agreed .

He started playing his playlist,that consisted of relaxing songs that you liked.

<< so>> he started speaking again << do you like anyone?>> he said casually.

You froze. Why did he ask that. You were debating confessing that moment, but you didn't.

<< i guess. What about you?>> you answered trying to seem relaxed.

<< you guess?>> he teased chuckling.

<< i mean i do,but i dont think he likes me back so im trying to get over him>> he said panicked.

<<why wouldn't he like you?>> he asked leaning closer to you.

<<i dont know,i just kind of assumed he didn't >> you answered.

<<well you shouldn't assume >> he said carelessly.

<<what about you? Do you like anyone?>> you asked, trying to shift the conversation.

<<i guess>> he said in a mocking voice. He was now inches away from you face. You wanted to kiss him so bad.

<<wanna know who it is?>> the boy asked. You nodded, preparing yourself for the worst.

<<You>>. You. You looked at him in the eyes,trying to understand if he was joking, but he wasn't. He was serious.

The seconds that followed were filled with tension. You decided that you were done being scared of your feelings, resulting in you kissing him. The kiss was messy,as you didn't have experience. Seconds later, he broke the kiss. But he didn't stop there. He positioned himself on top of you,going for a second, more passionate kiss.

The only sounds that could be heard were the sound of his lips on your mouth and sometimes on your neck . You were relatively quiet, but you were terrified of anyone walking in,so you stopped him.

<< i love this,but im scared the others will wake up>> you said anxiously. He immediately got up from you,respecting your boundaries.

After that, you both cuddled in the couch that you were sleeping.

Breaking the silence, you asked << so what are we now>>.

Jeongin chuckled <<I'm your boyfriend >> he answered, kissing you forehead.

You didn't answer, just smile. You let yourself melt into his embrace, feeling completely safe with him.

<<goodnight beautiful >> he said,moving the blanket to your neck. He didn't get an answer because you were already asleep but he didn't mind.

Closing his eyes next to you,he dozed off instantly.

Logan Howlett w/ a cub

Okay yall hear me out! Listen!

this has been in my head all week and i just cant stop thinking about it.

I really love when other people depict Logan in such a feral way as if he can't help but be a bit of animal at times which isnt really wrong considering some of his parts in comics.

I just really love the idea of Logan being feral all together, but I never really see anyone use that same concept towards the possiblity of him having a cub of somesort whether it occurs natually or through random adoption.

like how Deadpool adopted Puppins with ZERO hesitation and Logan reluctantly saved Laura from the military. (that movie made me bawl my eyes out)

either way, i hope yall get what Im trying to say and here is a story of what has been locked in my brain for weeks.

CONTENT: implied Poolverine if you squint, feral and animalistic Logan, May be very out of character, no NSFW.

Logan has been living with Wade long enough to the point that the mercenary has began to grow used to when Logan regresses back into his feral, animalistic self before disappearing for days or even weeks.

Sometimes Logan returns with his clothes still on his back, sometimes (most of the time) he doesnt.

There have been various times that Logan has returned back to the apartment cover in blood, that isnt his, completely naked. Good thing Al doesnt have the misfortune of seeing it.

But despite Logan's moments of regression, Wade tries to be understanding and even tries to find ways to accomodate for Logan's feral nature. ⭐ENRICHMENT⭐

All is calm and in routine as the mercenary awaits Logan's return back to the apartment, until he hears the familiar sound of the front door swing open before slamming such. it had to be Logan.

But this time Logan didnt stick around to greet Wade like usual to let him know he was fine and back in the right headspace. Instead, Logan walked straight passed Wade in the living room and went straight for the bedroom.

Though there was a split moment where Wade caught the sight of some small creature dangling from Logan's mouth as he passed by.

"oh no... oh god.. todays the day that feral fuck brought his kill back into the apartment!" was all that ran through Wade's head as he quickly sprung off the couch to follow the gruff man into their bedroom.

"What the hell do you have?! Is it a cat?! please dont tell me you killed someone's cat and planning to finish it off here on the bed!" Wade called out as he rushed into the bedroom to stop the feral man, only to be met with the sight of Logan squeezing himself into the closet.

"No! dont put all that blood and shit all over the rest of my clothes!" the merc called out and tried to reach out and drag Logan out the small closet, only to be met with a deep rough growl and three adamantium claws heading straight for him.

By some grace, Wade was only knicked before stumbled back and falling striaght on his ass.

Pulling the clothes off thier hanger and piling them up on the closet floor, the gruff feral man began making a makeshift den or nest with the small creature still dangling from his mouth by their scruff.

By the look in his eyes and Logan's mannerisms, Wade could tell Logan was still regressed into his animalistic headspace so he needed to be mindful.

"Logan. Baby girl.. Whatcha got there, hm? is it alive? please let it be alive." The merc called out to Logan like someone speaking to a stray dog on the street, the usual tone he used when speaking to Logan when he regressed.

The feral man didnt answer, he only circled around, patting the pile of clothes into a more suitable nest before curling up on his side and gently setting down the small creature from his mouth.

Wade was finally able to get a glimpse of this small creature that sorta looked like a human child, but mostly looked like an animal.

Was it a mutant? A hybrid? Some other sort of lab expirement? Wade had no clue.

But any time the merc attempt to get a closer look, he was met with that same harsh growl that sort of sent goosebumbs down his skin and made him back up.

"Alright, alright mama hen.. I wont touch it... but what the fuck is it?" He grumbles to the feral man that was now using HIS clothes as a damn makeshift nest for whatever the hell this small creature was.

Logan was practically curled around the thing like a mother circling her pups to keep them safe, using his buff build like barrier.

Wade never got an answer from the feral man in his closet and was forced (he could've left) to watch Logan procced to lick and groom this baby creature like a cat cleaning its kittens for the next hour before Logan finally came back to the world.

But regarless of Logan being fully aware now, he still wasnt letting Wade get close.

Whatever that small creature was, Logan now deemed it as his cub, and his cub alone. He'd be DAMNED if he'd let anything happen to them under his watch.

Thanks for reading! Have a nice day. Byeeeee!

Phaidei x Moonian! reader pt.8

Anaxa had returned to the bath-house, hoping to either find Mydei, or get a minute to himself before shit hit the fan. unfortunately.. he was met with the first option. Mydei and Phainon were at the hero's bath, but... FIGHTING??

Phainon: Mydei-! *block* *dodge* I dont think this counts as training anymore! *block* It seems your- *dodge* trying to actually fight me!

Mydei: SHUT UP AND FIGHT BACK! DELIVERER!

Phainon: Woah! *dodge* Mydei what's gotten into you!?

Anaxa shoots a equation out of his gun, which unleashes fireworks, catching phaidei off guard

Anaxa: Mydeimos! Phainon! Cease whatever this is at once!

Phainon: Euh...

Mydei: ...

----------------- Later, in the Vortex of Genesis

Phainon: I'm not sure why you insist we talk Aglaea, I mean, we talk all the time! If something was going on with Mydei, I'd know! He wouldn't hide things from me!

Aglaea: So you think. Phainon, when you decided to give that ring to reader, what was going through your mind?

Phainon: Well, I wanted to show them how grateful I was for their service in a personal way that would resonate well with them! A ring seemed perfect!

Aglaea: What about Mydei, he brought a ring aswell

Phainon: heh, we always did think alike!

Aglaea: Phainon, Do you like reader, is that the real reason you got the ring?

Phainon: Huh, a little sudden but besides my liking towards reader I did mean to give them that ring as some symbol of appreciation!

Aglaea stares at Phainon, first eyeing him up and down before waving her hand in a single circular motion, signaling him to rethink his words.

Phainon: What?? I'm being truthful, I mean of course I like reader, their very attractive in many ways but again, I did give them the ring to-

....

Ohhh

Oh... no..

I.. I like reader..

I LIKE READER!

Aglaea breathes a sigh of relief, glad to see that Phainon finally realizes his.. obvious feelings for reader

Mydei: Aglaea.

At the sound of Mydei's voice, Aglaea mouths a good luck to Phainon before she leaves, giving them both space

Phainon: Mydei there you are! ..what's going on?

Mydei: ...

Phainon: Mydei..?

Mydei doesn't say anything at first, striding over to the fountain in the middle of the room.

Phainon: Mydei.. what's going o-

Mydei: I'm in love with you.

Phainon: ...... I'm sorry-?

Mydei: Damnit Phainon, I'm in love with you! I-I Have been for.. I-I cant even count how long! You've always been their for me! after.. everything I put you through! Every meltdown, every time I've said something harsh to you out of projection, everything! You've accepted me at my lowest! You've proven to me time and fucking time that you.. you care! Even when I kept trying to find reasons you don't.. I... Fucking.. Fuck! I love you damnit!

Phainon: I... wow... why didn't you tell me anything sooner..?

Mydei: I know we agreed to be more honest with each other.. but this.. was too personal. Too much to put into words.. I couldn't stand the thought of telling you and... being abandoned. You know of my past.. and I'm not sure of my future.. I simply couldn't tell you.. but.. seeing you with reader.. the way you got this.. sparkle in your eyes simply being near their presence.. the way you spoke of them.. it.. it hurt. Could you even begin to process, loving someone so much, and hearing them speak of another with.. such enthusiasm, such.. adoration.. it irritates you, pierces the very heart you bleed with..

Phainon chuckles, catching Mydei off guard, if not making him a lil annoyed

Phainon: Aww, Mydei~.. you were jealous of me?

Mydei slightly nods his head, looking away only for Phainon to move his hands to Mydei's cheeks, forcing their eyes to meet

Phainon: I'm not mad at you Mydeimos.. I would be upset with you for not telling me sooner but.. I understand not wanting to. This.. was something too much, even for you. I can see why you hid it for so long.. you've been through so much that it feel's easier to hide, but, at the same time, I can tell you've been trying. I'm very proud of you Mydei, even if you still back track from time to time, your not gonna change overnight, but it helps that you've been trying little by little. Love is a slippery slide, its nowhere near as easy as some make it out to be, infact its one of the hardest thing's someone can go through..

Phainon kisses Mydei on the forehead

Phainon: If you would allow me, I would love to help ease the aching pain you have.. If we take care of something first

Mydei: What do you mean?

Phainon: You like reader aswell.. don't you?

Mydei: !!!... I...

Phainon: The ring, Mydei. I knew as soon as I saw it

Mydei: I.. I do like them.. but I love you too, I felt like I had to make a choice and.. well I chose you.

Phainon: What if you don't have to choose?

Mydei: What?!

Phainon: To tell you the truth, I also have feelings for reader, which.. complicates things, yes.. But, I'm sure there is something from their world about having more than one partner

Mydei: But that's not even heard of in our world, what if we end up being the first.. more-than-one person relationship

Phainon: Then we're just the first, that's all

Mydei: But.. there's no way reader would agree to something like that!

Phainon: Maybe, maybe not, wont know until we try

Phainon flashes his usual cheeky smile, trying to light up the atmosphere. All Mydei can do is just, cradle himself in Phai's arms

Mydei: If reader says no.. can we still just love each other..?

Phainon: Of course, Mydeimos, I love you

Mydei: I love you too<3

this acc made me sob s bit writing this.. *sniff*

silly comic based on a time i struggled to read live on stream :thumbsup:

context clip compilation below ASDASDFASA

(cw for brief mention of hospitals/strokes)

[dimonds456]

Gonna say something controversial.

Ford Pines is a nuanced character who is neither good nor bad. Absolving him of his crimes is actively a detriment to his character and does a disservice to the storytelling of Gravity Falls, but defining him exclusively by his mistakes without taking the time to understand him is a purposefully bad faith take that actively makes your enjoyment of the show worse.

He is neither a good or bad person, because "good" people and "bad" people aren't real. There's just people. And people fuck up sometimes.

If no one fucked up and if no one held onto those fuckups sometimes out of sheer desperation, the world of fiction would be way more boring, unengaging, and dull.

Ford Pines is a mess and I don't want him to be sanitized or demonized. I just want him to be a mess.

Thank you

[electroniccollectiondonut]

I have not been in this fandom long enough to reasonably judge others' takes however. "EPIC fans are so silly to characterize odysseus as feeling guilty for his actions don't you know he's a war criminal" is definitely a wild one. like first of all to each their own so settle down and let people enjoy things ok. and secondly making choices with a bad outcome, even knowingly and deliberately, does not exclude the possibility of feeling bad about it later. in fact it makes for a much more in depth character because then you get to explore what he does or doesn't feel guilt over, and why, and if that guilt ever edges into regret or not.

[clumsypuppy]

guy who only asks questions if they feel insightful enough to be worth asking and only hangs out if there is smth to do together <- deeply uncomfortable of the idea of wasting someones time

[lucabyte]

transfem loop + siffrin... you agree

i does agree.... i does in fact ... write a 7k word essay on the subject..... if you would like to perhaps click that link and read it if you were not already aware...... kisses u on the forehead......... sorry its that long but i had to cover all of my bases you know how it is with textual analysis when you're trying to draw a distinction between "headcanon" and "reading of the text" because those are different things.... to meeeeeeee.......

[beclight]

im known for being THE bec light fan of the fandom, so i feel like im in the right place to say this: YOU DO NOT OWN FANDOM CHARACTERS AND CANNOT PREVENT OTHER PEOPLE FROM LIKING THEM JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO, and if that makes you uncomfortable (which is fine, and for any reason), THE THING TO DO IS BLOCK NOT HARASS THEM!!!!!!! ive seen too many ppl in this fandom disrespect others over DARING to say, even as a joke, that they're the number one fan of X character. If someone having the same favorite group of pixels as you genuinely angers you, to the point of feeling the need to insult them and having concerning thoughts about them, then maybe it is time to log off

[crescentfool]

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

[skitskatdacat63]

I am very angry.

comparison!! yuu as I drew him in 2024, february 5th; and this panel from my latest post that just so happened to be drawn in february 5th 2025...

it has been a full year since i started to draw re:kinder like crazy www when drawing yuu i'd always reference one of my own drawings of him for consistency, yet even the way i draw him changed quite a lot www

but im very happy with it😊😊 thought id share this since im amused by the evolution of it

[aoisi]

i'm thinking about her.

ran out of tags again omg but i was saying i love the idea of her looking less human and more like her natural self. greyed skin and long sharp fingernails, mouth of sharp teeth, wild-eyed and blood-soaked. i was also saying. before tumblr deleted them. that idk maybe in that time she's plaguing the town she has a mortal female lover she draws strength from. you know? yeah.

[thedeafprophet]

anyway I've come to realize social media has an affect on how I approach my art and I'm currently mentally working through how I feel about that 🤔
