please talk to me about my ocs. or your ocs. or someone else's ocs im flexible,
howdy
manual reblogs are a full-spectrum variety hour, but there’s a 24/7 aesthetics/photos/art only #pretty queue running. i bulk restock from tags sorted by recent, and try to stick to original/explicitly credited art only- if you notice i’ve rb’d something stolen or reposted against the creator’s wishes, please lmk and ill take it down.
99.9% of reblogged posts also get liked, bc i try and avoid accidental duplicates (esp in the queue) and have the memory of a leaky sieve. easiest way to keep track.
ok wait im gonna post about my cargo shorts. they’re one of the first Articles of Men’s Clothing i bought when i was like 17, they were on sale at i think jc penney’s? or maybe target. they were the smallest size they had and are still too big on me. i haven’t worn them that much recently, because they were in need of work.
first and most obvious: they’re too big. took in both sides about an inch and a half, so they fit loosely but dont like, fall off my ass. all of this is by hand btw- im not going to claim to be good at hand sewing but im much worse w/ a sewing machine.
second: the pull for the zipper broke in such a way that i couldn’t just stick a new tab on, i had to replace the slide entirely. it was easier than i thought- you can pull the stops off with needle nose pliers without damaging ‘em, and most slides are interchangeable. my wife got a bunch of stim toys recently, including a couple zipper bracelets, which were poorly made and didn’t work well. i got permission to repurpose one for the pull. the color is funny.
third: one of the rabbits bit a hole in the waistband. please admire my mediocre darning job.
and fourth: i stabbed a hole in the pocket with a knife at some point, so that was patched with some novelty fishing lure advertisement fabric.
this should hopefully let me milk at least 5 more years out of my 10 dollar clearance pants. \o/
i actually like the coat/cape background garment this time- the pattern is nice, and it emulates a lounging blanket in a way that works thematically. i also think the scarf is cute, though the color is a bit saturated. but the large patch of gold w/ the pant leg skirt thing is what’s getting me the most; its such a bright contrasting blob that it keeps yanking my eyes to his kneecap. repeating that color + the blue of the constellation fabric on top of it somewhere in the coat would have been nice. also the random bits of cyan on that group of tassles in the lower center are throwing me a bit. where did that come from.
it’s also just super busy- any one piece of the jewelry would have been okay, and i really like the design of the hourglass thing, but there’s too many pieces going on- he looks like he tripped and fell in a box of costume jewelry and is trying to pretend he did it on purpose.
my expectations for footwear in this game are very low, but the shoes aren’t bad. the cutouts are a bit goofy, but they scan at a glance.
the floating hookah is funny. in character for him to have one ofc, but its just floating there.
it doesn’t look bad, per se, there’s definitely a coherent theme going on, but i can’t really say it even works for me at a glance. 4/10, soft nay.
i could fix him. by dragging him through the endless path of pain and misery, so he understands what he’s done to others, feels genuinely fucking sorry, and spends the rest of his life trying to fix his wrongs
i wouldn’t fix HER though, enjoy your war crimes queen
we need to free the nipple so bad im so serious we should be so far past the point where girl children are told they have to keep their shirt on while their brothers and cousins get to run around shirtless or women shamed for breastfeeding or trans men needing top surgery to go outside shirtless without getting judged at best and arrested at worst or girls getting taken out of class for not wearing a bra like this should be a priority
“It’s soooo easy to just go through your followers and block bigots 🙄” — quote from someone with 37 followers
This isn’t an “ohhh look at this loser who only has x followers”, it’s “there is a point you reach where looking at every single person who follows you is genuinely impossible and acting like it’s easy to do so shows that you haven’t reached that point yet.”
I do miss Perth WA — how lovely to be acquainted with these two Gorgeous ravens (lovers) — I mean I purposely go out this way to mention the corvidae or corvid family 🤣🤭 — nature never disappoints plus the landscape itself was stunning — 🥰
