THE MARCHESA CASATI

Marchesa Luisa Casati: An inspiringly decadent true tale of a bizarre Italian aristocrat. Pet cheetahs, séances and dresses made from lightbulbs, the heiress, socialite and artist's muse Marchesa Luisa Casati led a life every bit as unusual as her outfits.

Luisa, Marchesa Casati Stampa di Soncino (born Luisa Adele Rosa Maria Amman; 23 January 1881 – 1 June 1957), was an Italian heiress, muse, and patroness of the arts in early 20th-century Europe.

Casati was known for her eccentricities that delighted European society for nearly three decades. The beautiful and extravagant hostess to the Ballets Russes was something of a legend among her contemporaries. She astonished society by parading with a pair of leashed cheetahs and wearing live snakes as jewellery.

She captivated artists and literary figures such as Robert de Montesquiou, Romain de Tirtoff (Erté), Jean Cocteau, and Cecil Beaton.[citation needed] She had a long-term affair with the author Gabriele d'Annunzio, who is said to have based on her the character of Isabella Inghirami in Forse che si forse che no (Maybe yes, maybe no) (1910).[citation needed] The character of La Casinelle, who appeared in two novels by Michel Georges-Michel, Dans la fete de Venise (1922) and Nouvelle Riviera (1924), was also inspired by her.

In 1910, Casati took up residence at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, on Grand Canal in Venice, owning it until circa 1924. In 1949, Peggy Guggenheim purchased the Palazzo from the heirs of Viscountess Castlerosse and made it her home for the following thirty years. Today it is the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a modern art museum on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice, Italy.

Casati's soirées there would become legendary. Casati collected a menagerie of exotic animals, and patronized fashion designers such as Fortuny and Poiret. From 1919 to 1920 she lived at Villa San Michele in Capri, the tenant of the unwilling Axel Munthe. Her time on the Italian island, tolerant home to a wide collection of artists, gay men, and lesbians in exile, was described by British author Compton Mackenzie in his diaries.

Numerous portraits were painted and sculpted by artists as various as Giovanni Boldini, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Adolph de Meyer, Romaine Brooks (with whom she had an affair), Kees van Dongen, and Man Ray; many of them she paid for, as a wish to "commission her own immortality".[citation needed][citation needed] She was muse to Italian Futurists such as F. T. Marinetti (who regarded her as a Futurist) Fortunato Depero, Giacomo Balla (who created the portrait-sculpture Marchesa Casati with Moving Eyes), and Umberto Boccioni. Augustus John's portrait of her is one of the most popular paintings at the Art Gallery of Ontario; Jack Kerouac wrote poems about it and Robert Fulford was impressed by it as a schoolboy.

VOY: Caretaker (Part 2)

The Star Trek universe is a long road, so to keep things moving along home, I’ve decided to no longer split up 2-part episodes and films. This is the first of three posts that will wrap up Caretaker, Emissary, and ST: The Motion Picture. 

Part two of Voyager’s pilot episode brings new excitement, new troubles, and new characters.

Are all Talaxians this… eccentric?

When we first meet Neelix, he’s scraping out a living as a junk trader, clad in a fur coat that appears to be made up of several different alien mammals, over a confusingly-patchwork shirt (or harness? Or space lederhosen??) with metallic gold accents. It’s an appropriately mottled look for his line of work, although it definitely looks like it smells weird.

Is that me or you, Mr. Vulcan?

However, we don’t get to spend much time with this outfit, as Janeway invites the Talaxian aboard, and Neelix is quick to take advantage of Voyager’s facilities – including the replicator. After asking Tuvok if it will make him a Starfleet uniform (“it most certainly will not”), we beam down to the Ocampan planet below to see that Neelix has chosen a suit made of old bus station upholstery. 

At first, I thought this outfit was both too beige and too chaotic, but the more I look, the more I like it. It actually kind of works with his Talaxian mohawk and spots, and I love that the fabric is just as garish and patchwork-looking as his “junk collector” outfit.. Also, the overwhelming impression of beige may just be due to this planet’s extremely yellow lens filter atmosphere.

The colour palette is “waiting room neutral”.

The structure of the outfit is interesting, too. Chunky piping across the midsection creates some nice, futuristic asymmetry, and I love that it continues down the one sleeve in rings. Neelix goes on to knock it out of the park with a matching teal shirt (you can just see the collar peeking out above) and shoes.

This is a man who knows how to coordinate.

Next, it’s time for another new species in the Delta Quadrant: the Kazon! As we get a wide shot of the group of Kazon Ogla, we can immediately see a lot of cream and ochre tones, cut off sleeves, and a single hairstyle that everybody has to share.

And no girls allowed.

It’s actually an incredible number of unique-but-coordinated costumes. You immediately get the impression that these guys are a rowdy bunch who aren’t afraid to get their asymmetrical skirts dirty proving who has the most testosterone. As well, everybody looks great in warm earth tones.

I guess it’s not hard to shop when every single member of your species is an autumn.

Somebody needs to tell them all the belts and gloves are a bit much though.

We just like to feel secure, okay?

Kes also makes her debut in this scene, but she’s basically wearing a dirty potato sack, so we’ll skip ahead. Like her lover Neelix, she’s quick to accept the Voyager crew’s hospitality, and replicates a new set of duds the moment she’s on board. Interestingly, she opts for a very Kazon colour palette.

Now who’s asymmetrical??

It’s a killer look – layered, colourful, a little bit alien, but also cute. The one-shoulder bodycon tunic is sexy, but the neckline and legs are very modestly covered. Kes is basically Twiggy as a telepathic space elf. As a child watching Star Trek in the 90s, I remember noticing Jennifer Lien’s costumes as Kes more than anything else in the show, and I still aspire to this aesthetic.

I only noticed how gay I was later.

There’s also a lot of variation in textures here, between the crinkled summer cotton and contrasting velveteen, which we’ll soon see is the style of the Ocampa. What? Oh right! Our people are still missing! Back down to the planet we go. 

The underground Ocampa lean toward earth tones – although, would they call them that? – befitting their simple, horticultural lifestyle. Like Kes, their outfits are layered and multi-textured.

The Caretaker provides everything we need. Linen, tweed, corduroy…

Unless you’re a bad guy, in which case you wear grey, unflattering robes and a scarf (poorly).

The Ocampan equivalent of sweats and a gym tee.

We also get a really good look at Chakotay’s Maquis outfit in this scene, which will sadly soon be replaced by a Starfleet uniform for good. It’s a shame, as it looks like someone spent a lot of time working on that leather vest, with its hand-stitched details and tailored fit.

Do you think he brought the holster from home?

Speaking of Maquis drip, B’Elanna has some INSANE boots that we only get to see for a split second as she swings her legs off a bio-bed in sick bay. The whole outfit is absolutely deadly, but I would do anything to see these boots show up in more episodes.

Surely we can make a uniform exception?

With all the loose ends neatly wrapped up, it’s time for the Voyager crew (and new additions) to start the long trek home. But before we can warp away, Neelix and Kes run to tell Janeway something very important – that they’ve replicated more new clothes.

The bridge is basically a common area, right?

Kes sports an olive green tunic with slashed shoulders that allow the poofy sleeves of a shirt underneath to poke through, over jade green leggings and matching heels. It’s another cute look, and even more elfin than before, but I think the red-and-orange outfit was more flattering. Neelix has another matching pants and jacket set made out of the ugliest fabric possible, though with an interesting front closure swooping off to one side. Beneath the jacket is a very handsome red shirt, with a sort of kimono-like layered appearance.

Slow your pace a bit, guys, we’ve got 70,000 lightyears to go.

I, like everyone else, desperately want lizzie and alicia to be a couple in the assessment but based off the description I dont think it will be. One, they description talks about a couple and a female inspector. It seems that they casted one to be the inspector and the other to be part of the couple. Two, if the world is struggling with repopulation, u wouldnt need to inspect a lesbian couple because its clear as to why they arent producing children. You would need to monitor a straight couple to see if they are actually trying for a kid or lying that they are. Obviously, Im not trying to ruin peoples happiness but i just think we shouldnt get our hopes up yet.

I THINK I READ unless i misread it that lizzie is not…. playing a gay…. but i wonder if she’ll be playing the one “female assessor” that judges whether or not the couple featured gets to have kids???

number one i wanna see her in a futuristic outfit so bad she’s gonna eat that shit up

number two she’s gonna be so hot all judgemental n shit LOL

ugh im so excited lizzie’s movies r always so good because she’s so particular in the kinds of things and wants to work on and i love her artistic vision soooo much, i trust in any project she chooses to work on

It's here! Platonic Love by A ee mi is officially available on our website! 

Platonic Love Author: A ee mi Offset printing / color / 64 pages / 5.8 x 8.25" ISBN: 978-1-951078-05-8 $19.95

Taiwanese cartoonist A ee mi’s debut work takes place in a repressive heteronormative regime where the only escape for queer individuals is the ability to travel between dimensions. Taking different bodies and wandering through different worlds, they search for a lover who will care for them.

A ee mi completed Platonic Love in the run-up to Taiwan's 2018 referendum on gay marriage. Her perspective as an ally to the queer community inspired her to create this visually dazzling exploration of love and sexuality.

Image description: Cover and interiors of the book, in which a character in a futuristic outfit of plastic, denim, fabric and tech navigates a water filled world, and then a jungle. A close up attempts to show the lush matte printing, which came out a little blurry in the other photos.

~show drabble~

The show itself was held in a big open hall of the Hampton court. But the areas around it were decorated much the same. Glass-stained windows, deer heads and old tapestry artwork pieces. This was contrasted with the modern lights up in ceiling shining upon the guests. The red carpet outside was filled with people trying to showcase their own outfit for the paparazzi. The flashlights may as well have been none stop.

To Jackie though, that was of no importance now. He had people walking the catering and he would be certain he would get to have a chat with everyone after the show. He had folk who would help his friends who had never been to this kind of shows even had some to specifically escort Henry so he could avoid the millions of cameras. It didn’t seem like something he would enjoy no. Jackie hoped he would enjoy the rest though. And lord knew he prayed that henny wouldn’t sniff him out like the shark she was. Evil witch. none of that was something he could do something about now though. Show was about to start and he had to walk past all the models to make sure all was exactly as it had to be. Thank fuck for taran being around he knew he understood the importance of all this and since Jackie hired new and less experienced models it was good to have an old bag to keep everyone in line. He made a mental note to make taran a little plushie as a thank you for being a huge help.

When the lights and music started to dim though Jackie had to stop fretting over every little stitch. Not as if things weren’t perfect. He was genuinely proud of this collection. Maybe more so than other times. This collection was straight from the heart. Specifically made for henry… a goodbye, a love letters a welcome? Jackie wasn’t quite sure the concept had been many things gone through many stages and even more changes. Not knowing exactly what things were was fitting however so it didn’t really matter. Sometimes words just couldn’t translate what art meant.

Once all the lights were shut off the ones above the runway started to light up one by one while a slight fog of smoke was created. The music started to play the songs Jackie had picked. A combination of tradional Welsh folk mixed with the more modern runway ambience and beats. An odd mix that when he was looking for artists to create it most declined. But where there is a will there is a way.

The first couple of outfits were certainly odd. Following a modern take on what a knight aesthetic may look like. Rough and sturdy looking hoodies recreating the general shape of various pieces of armour. Bulky shoulders and interesting hoods that could function as fabric versions of helmets. Bags in the shape of shields. Belts with wooden swords as accessories. Mail chain chest pieces. Rings that recreated the finger pieces of armoured gloves. Jackie had to outsource a lot for the more metal bits and pieces. It was not his forte. Sewing the hoodies alone had been an awful experience. But the gays were gonna love it so it was worth it.

The next set that came up was more casual. Certainly, where a lot of the inspiration from the ready to wear came from. Dark sweaters with even darker coats and jackets. Long dark pants tucked into sturdy leather boots with the iron tips. Some of the sweaters were knitted with holes that were filled with thread showing the Kevlar jackets underneath them. Some of the models wore bucket hats that would cloak most of their face in the shades. There were people walking with padded leather pants and motorcycle gloves. Big sturdy bags hanging from one shoulder with patches that were seemingly falling off and more pockets one could dream of. Models walked with watches that were modified into compasses and rosaries.

The last set was the most futuristic. Heavily leaning into techwear. Lots of belts and chest pieces some even carrying fake wooden weapons in them. High collars and vizors to protect them. Scarfs with pins made of bones. Headscarf in beautiful deep blood red and black. Some had canes that drew into swords. Fake shotguns carried on their back. There were even some battle dresses as Jackie had decided to call them. At the end of it all. The lights went off and the music turned into softer ambiance as Jackie walked upon the stage holding a piece of paper right into the spotlight.

Walking past all the familiar faces… his friends and enemies. But mainly he was looking for henry. As soon as he managed to lock eyes his smile softened ever so slightly into something genuine. Quickly looking away again as he could not afford to cry on sta- wait why was Nero sitting behind him. that motherfu-

But there was no time to get upset. He had a speech to give. A small one. He had promised to himself to not have any long ass speeches no more. “I want to thank you all for coming to the SALMON 23 unisex couture spring collection! This collection was made with a good friend of mine in mind. To showcase my appreciation for him and to showcase that he is seen. That he would never be forgotten and that he has always been a muse even if he may not realize it. I hope for anyone who may choose to wear anything from the collection that they may feel empowered and safe. That they may feel like these clothes would last for forever. That they can count on these garments as much as I can count on my friend. That is all. And once more. Thank you all for everything.” and with he turned away. walking past henry once more as he smiled and worded something lost into the darkness. he would meet up with him later. first off he needed to shake off the nerves as he felt like he was gonna scream if he didnt real fast got to sit down.

The Stranger Things kids love Doctor Who because I love Doctor Who and I say so, an essay

They are the nerdiest boys in Indiana, of course they like Doctor Who.

Disclaimer: I don't know how accesible could some Doctor Who be in the US in the 80s, I hope this is accurate.

Mike is an average Fourth Doctor lover, he is his childhood and thinks that no other actor can play the role like Tom Baker.

His favourite companion is Sarah Jane, but he likes Romana a lot too. He loves the classics: City of Death, Pyramids of Mars, Genesis of the Daleks...

He lost interest on the show after Tom Baker left, and didn't like Davison very much. Doesn't care for Colin Baker either. But still enjoys watching some stuff outside of the Fourth Doctor era if the story is good enough.

Dustin is a massive whovian. His favourite Doctor is the Fourth too, but he loves every single one of them, even the First. He just really likes the Doctor in general as a character. And he's the biggest Sixth Doctor defender ever. I have a feeling that Sixie is gonna end up being his new favourite Doctor.

He is literally in love with Zoe Heriot, basically because she is Suzie in futuristic clothes. He just adores that genius girl companion type: Romana (especially Romana I), Liz, Vicki, Nyssa, even Susan... He really likes the Time Lord lore, the Master and adored the Rani.

He owns a lot of novelisations and lends them to Will all the time.

Lucas doesn't like Doctor Who as much as Dustin and Will, he's more on a Mike page. He says that the Fourth is his favourite Doctor, but his favourite era is definitely the UNIT one and he adores everything he has seen of the Third Doctor. Definitely the Brig's number one fan.

He didn't like the Davison or Colin Baker years that much, but he loves Peri – I know that he made a comment on her cleavage during that scene of The Caves of Androzani. His favourite companions are Sarah Jane and Leela, but Ace is probably gonna take that title in a few years.

Will also loves Doctor Who. Maybe not as much as Dustin, but he finds such comfort on the show.

He simply adores everything related to Five. He is his favourite Doctor, loves the season 19 TARDIS team and his favourite companion is definitely Nyssa.

He didn't know that it was because every single person on the TARDIS at that point is canonically queer, poor thing. Shipped Teganyssa in secret though.

Also, I know something awoke in him the moment he saw Jamie McCrimmon and his kilt in The Two Doctors and immediately went to watch some Second Doctor stuff with Dustin.

Bonus!

Suzie is also a massive whovian! Another thing she and Dustin have in common. Actually, she is a 60s Who nerd; she canonically loves The Wizard of Oz, so I'm assuming The Mind Robber is her favourite story ever.

Eleven watched some Fifth Doctor stories with Will in California and, actually, she enjoyed them a lot, she just loves the vibe. She also shipped Tegan and Nyssa – like, two girls couldn't marry in Australia or the US, but maybe in space...

I just know she always likes the most underrated companions, like Harry, Adric or Peri.

And she was the one to convince Max to give the show a chance, actually.

Max is another casual watcher, and she just stans every woman on the show. Biggest Romana and Rani fan ever. Definitely ships Teganyssa as well.

She likes the more sci-fi, imaginative part of the show, even if she makes fun of the wobbly sets and lame monsters all the time.

Erica will never admit it, but she loves that nerd British TV show. She adores the Sixth Doctor, his rainbow outfit and the camp aesthetic.

Dustin has lent her most of his Doctor Who novel collection, and she loves the comics too.

Robin is the unexpected weird whovian. She is actually into the more obscure shit, like lost episodes, comics and books. And she is a pure historical supremacist, she owns every novelisation available of the genre.

Also, she made sure Family Video brought every possible Doctor Who VHS release.

Firm believer that the Doctor and the Master have something gay going on. And Tegan and Nyssa, of course. And the Doctor and Jamie. Turlough is very fruity, too.

musical masquerade pt.2

The nightlife in New York was vastly different from the daytime. While in the bright rays of the sun, everyone carried on with their day-to-day lives, going to work and occasionally congregating at local bars after their long and tiring day. But at night, a completely different New York took over for only twelve hours underground. But in those twelve hours, anything could happen. Even a glamorous mutant masquerade in one of the Hidden City’s most famous ballrooms wouldn’t be even the weirdest thing that’s happening in New York. 

Jasper stiffly adjusted the collar on his blazer, minute waves of nervousness washing over him before entering the lavish foyer, the interior looking like something out of the Titanic. The floor was completely carpeted in a scarlet hue, and everything from the staircases to the trashcans was completely coated in gold, real and fake. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of creatures there, with abnormal features like fish gills and webbed hands. But the thing he was most confused about was why Allison wasn’t there. 

A sharp stinging noise echoed across the foyer as Jasper turned his head to see an elegant silver-haired, purple-skinned woman with a piercing gaze and dark blue eyeshadow tapping her elongated finger onto the microphone. 

“Heather, I’ve found the target and she’s blabbing about the usual charity crap but I don’t see Alles anywhere,” Jasper said, speaking into his earpiece that was hidden underneath his combed-back hair. 

“What? You haven’t seen them anywhere?” 

“Nope. That’s what I just said.” 

Heather sighed, turning the dial on her telescope to peer into the building and combing through the entire crowd with no sign of a dark-haired smartass in sight. She dug through her bag that was resting on the seat of the car that was parked right across from the lavish event and pulled out her walkie-talkie, pressing the soft red button. “Alles, where are you? Please don’t bail on us... " 

“Yeah, Allison... Where the hell are you? " 

Suddenly, as the speech was wrapping up its conclusion, immediate darkness enveloped the foyer, leaving the entire crowd in confusion until a bright spotlight focused at the top of the staircase. As a single lilac-coloured heel stepped into the light, quite the sight appeared. It was Allison, her hair tied up into a poofy afro with a black headband securing it into place, and their dress. Oh boy, their dress. It was a holographic mesh that coated their entire body, shining a deep mauve hue and sparkles for the extra measure as it flowed and moved with such elegance and fluidity as a small train of lace followed her arms as she waved towards everyone with a smug grin picked especially for Jasper. 

“Heather...” 

“Yeah?” 

“They picked a hologram dress, of course, she picked a hologram dress!” Jasper groaned into the earpiece as he could hear Heather silently giggle. “I bet ten bucks Don made that for her.” 

“Oh definitely...” Jasper gritted, his British accent becoming more prominent than before as Allison waved to the shocked crowd before walking down the felted staircase and quickly shuffling towards him as Jasper leaned on the fruit punch table. 

“So? Pretty awesome, right? I even brought my purse with a lighter and knife to get more into character.” 

“I can’t believe you.”

“Why? That I totally outshine your outfit? " Allison chuckled, pulling down her masquerade mask and revealing her purple futuristic eyeshadow and eyeliner shining through her dark skin. Jasper turned his head away and gave a quiet nod. “Hey, it’s alright. I think your outfit isn’t that bad either. Perfect to attract your little boyfriend. " 

“Huh? He’s not my boyfriend! Leo and I aren’t like that.” 

Allison’s eyebrows rose. “I didn’t say anything about him.” 

“I-” 

“Okay, I expected that you were gay but the turtle part is really what shocked me but it’s alright. I’ll confide your secret crush a secret.” 

“I could say the same for you-, anyway did you have to do that?!” Jasper strained. “Now we’ve got every eye in this party on us!” 

“Jasper, how many bricks were dropped on your head as a child? You’re right, we’ve got every single eye in this place on us. Including Mama. Ergo, we’ve piqued her interest. But we need something more than just a sudden entrance” 

His face suddenly was hit with realization as he grabbed a can of Monster Energy from his bag and began to pour the liquid into a nearby soda stream. 

“Oh…” 

“Yeah and-” Allison paused. “Did-did you just put monster energy in the fuckin’ SodaStream?” 

“Yes…” 

“I- why? That’s like trying to make someone like me pretty just by letting my hair down.” Allison asked but before she could get an answer, all the lights were dimmed and an upbeat song started to echo out of the speakers. With a sudden burst of energy, Allison shot a mischievous grin toward Jasper before seeing an auburn flash approach them in a pastel pink gown and orange eyeshadow with white liner boldening it, clicking her heels rapidly.  

“Hey, guys! Nice party going on here, can I join?” 

“Yes, you may Heather.” 

“You know what Heaths? Yeah, let’s party! Why the hell not?!” Allison said as the music began to ramp up and she grabbed Jasper’s hand, leading him into the middle of the foyer as Heather observed them from the punch table. 

Let's get loud, let's get loud. Turn the music up, let's do it C'mon, people, let's get loud, let's get loud Turn the music up to hear that sound

Allison felt the bass bumping through their body as she effortlessly swayed their hips and shimmied her chest towards Jasper, a carefree and smug grin plastered on her face. With a heavy sigh, Jasper began to copy the movements as he grabbed their hand and spun them around and around, making the room effortlessly spin. 

Life's a party, make it hot Dance don't ever stop, whatever rhythm. Every minute, every day Take them all the way, you gotta live 'em ('cause I'ma to live my life) Let's get loud (pump it up!)

“Oh? Mr. Distinguished Prince’s trying to tango with me?” Allison smugly whispered.

“At least I’m distinguished and not a deranged cannon…” Jasper muttered as Allison scrunched her eyebrows together but still kept a smug smile. In her mind, they kept repeating a certain rhythm in her head. Spin around with their hands raised high. Shake the shoulders. Circle around Jasper like a hawk circling its meal. Why hadn’t she done this more often? She hadn’t a single clue. As the instrumental kicked in, the rhythm took complete control of Allison as they shuffled, changing the balls of her feet, towards him and grabbed his hand before stepping back and leading Jasper to twirl them into a dip in which Allison kicked up her legs and landed in a split. The song halted everyone in their tracks until the entire crowd started to applaud Jasper and Allison.

“It’s surprising to see you this outgoing and when could you do the splits?” Jasper whispered, lifting Allison from the ground, shaking her hands in excitement and happiness and with a smug look on their face. 

“Oh, I can’t.” 

“..What?” 

“I can’t do the splits and it feels like my legs are burning and aching.” Allison chuckled before they spotted the silver-haired woman sneak into an elevator that went upstairs. Allison quickly tapped on Heather’s shoulder, tilting her head towards the direction of the stairs and Heather responded with a simple nod before they both pushed and shoved through the crowd and made their way into the elevator. 

“Jasp, we’re following the lady with the intense shoulder pads and blue bodycon dress. We think she might be the target.” Allison said, speaking into the walkie-talkie covered in worn-out space stickers. 

“No, she is the target, Allison.” 

Allison slightly raised her eyebrows before facing Heather, who gave a friendly nod of approval. 

“Oh. Didn’t you tell me that?” 

“I was more concerned with the fact that Heather forgot a whole bag of potatoes in the van.” 

“Okay but- wait, Heather how the fuck do you forget a bag of potatoes in the car?!” they said, giving a mix of confused and irritated eyes to Heather who simply looked confused. 

“I didn’t! Jasper, that was probably you.” Heather quipped, clenching her hands and hesitating on Jasper’s answer. 

“I personally think I would remember if I left an entire bag of potatoes in the car!” 

“Can we please stop this conversation now? We’re almost-”

"hired girl"

Not surprised to see a change in Archie's shirt -- everyone's outfit is recolored -- but am surprised they did not erase the triangle. Wanting to get it placed into its historical context of fashion trends, but to me it looks like a costume for an advanced or futuristic civilization in an Ed Wood movie. Or maybe it does look kinda gay.

i am finally ordering some clothing that is not 100% conventional that i have wanted to wear for a long time, one item being some coveralls (its giving Josh Hutcherson as Future Man janitor) and also a skirt! i LOVE like a pleated skirt kilt moment and also love a layered fabric loose futuristic kind of vibe, but i just need to venture out of wearing just pants and flannels. i love jeans and i love flannels but i gotta shake it up a bit! i also still want to bleach my brows after all these years and dye my hair like a ginger color, and get a few more piercings! i feel like i can only let myself do these things if i get in better shape first though. i have to earn it, i have to motivate myself to be better about being active! and plus maybe this is toxic but i feel like for years i have wanted to change this or that about my aesthetic when really the actual problem is my body. i want to not just physically feel healthy but really look and radiate it. i think its been the main issue holding back my self confidence, and yes i could accept myself as i am but i don't want to! i want to accept that what i want is going to take work and i want to put in that work to then reach a level of self acceptance that makes me feel good and confident and happy. also i have a car now which ups my hot factor on its own AND i can go to thrift stores and find even more banger outfits and accessories so i just have to turn it out big time. tomorrow i am going to eat right and go to the gym and have a grand ol time!!!

Which X-Men movie is your favorite?

oh undoubtedly x men days of future past!

actually scary murder robots (18 ft tall, 5000 lbs, capable of mutating)

an interesting take on time travel (sending someone’s consciousness back in time not their body)

instead of rehashing old content we were given character insights like how prof x was a drug addict so he could walk / he didn’t have to feel his students dying in the vietnam war, magneto was put in prison for supposedly killing jfk, and mystique helped save mutants from the govt

the introduction of xmcu quicksilver who is 30x faster than mcu quicksilver, has a better personality, and oh. can flick bullets out of the air so he doesn’t have to worry about getting shot

gay on gay violence

kitty pryde being canonically one of the strongest mutants & saves the day by sending wolverines consciousness back decades

the costume design both for the futuristic fits and the 70s outfits was !!!

not to mention the fact that the movie respected both the first generation x men (stewart and mckellan) as well as the newer actors, and gave us this iconic interaction

x men days of future past had high stakes, it was so funny at times w/o going overboard (wolverine: u don’t know it yet but we’re gonna be good friends *punches hank* /prof x: ur on acid. really bad acid), was visually pleasing, and had not only good action scenes but character heavy moments (which is most important to me). 1000/10

Can the Bad Batch get into the Techno Club?

Wrecker: Rolling up with a beer and his bros he has zero chance of getting in. He takes it like a champ and moves to the next pub around the corner with his broskis.

Tech: A college party by the math faculty maybe.

Crosshair: Likely. This diva will have the outfit and the attitude. Even likelier to get into a gay party. There is some chance of him not getting in because of being too snarky to the bouncers or giving off a general red flag vibe on a bad day.

Hunter: Has more a straight edge & concerts vibe and might only go and then get in because cyare wants to. Is more likely to chill with Wrecker at the pub sipping some soda.

Echo: With that futuristic robo outfit?! YES OF COURSE. The floor was made for you, sir.

Winx Redesign!!: Tecna the Fairy of Technology

(Apologies if the drawing is messy, the original sketch was done traditionally and coloured digitally.)

This series is just turning into me gushing about how rewatching the series has made each Winx girl my new favourite, and I'm okay with that!

Tecna is amazing, the best, the pastel gay enby icon that we needed, and she's vastly underrated. And with the fact that Netlfix striaght up fucking removed her from the live action, I felt especially motivated to do her justice.

Funnily enough Tecna's design actually took me two whole weeks to figure out, maybe I was just art blocked or the first sketch I made was the problem, but man I was so relieved when I finally completed her.

I do have notes on her clothing choices below. Everyday on the left and Fairy Form on the right!

- Tecna to me always looked like a video game character, so I studied more anime, video game and retro tech based media for her outfits rather than pure dark cyberpunk

- I actually looked to more colourful and pastel poppy coloured art and cyber wear when it came to fashion, since most of the tech wear I looked up for Tecna seemed to have too much black in it, and she almost NEVER wore dark colours

- Her fiary form is kind of hard to explain, but at first, I originally wanted to fo space suit for her, and while that is super cool, it just wasn't working for my redesign of Tecna. So instead I based it off of general sci fi inspiration, since that fits her more than the space theme

- In my opinion, Tecna's helmet and wings in the cartoon aren't very good, so I turned her helmet into a futuristic headset with a visor, and her wings be more geometric and glitchy like a hologram

why are you not the president yet how does it feel to spend your days with a brain so big and ideas so good pLEASE WRITE THAT ESSAY I AM BEGGING

LOL i’m not the president because i want to topple the US government among other things but it is actually a curse!! so many good ideas! no manpower or time to bring them into fruition! 

what that taemin x jose munoz essay would be is about munoz’s concept of queerness as horizon (something that is not yet here) and queer time as opposed to straight time. it's about going against queer pragmatics and instead engaging the political imagination. i think ngda is the closest thing there is right now to a mainstream portrayal of a queer korean futurism.

"The poem speaks of multiple temporalities and the affective mode known as ecstasy, which resonates alongside the work of Martin Heidegger. In Being and Time Heidegger reflects on the activity of timeliness and its relation to ekstatisch (ecstasy), signaling for Heidegger the ecstatic unity of temporality—Past, Present, and Future. The ecstasy the speaker feels and remembers in “A photograph” is not consigned to one moment. It steps out from the past and remarks on the unity of an expansive version of temporality; hence, future generations are invoked. To know ecstasy in the way in which the poem’s speaker does is to have a sense of timeliness’s motion, to understand a temporal unity that is important to what I attempt to describe as the time of queerness. Queerness’s time is a stepping out of the linearity of straight time. Straight time is a self-naturalizing temporality. Straight time’s “presentness” needs to be phenomenologically questioned, and this is the fundamental value of a queer utopian hermeneutics. Queerness’s ecstatic and horizonal temporality is a path and a movement to a greater openness to the world. (Munoz 25). 

Munoz also describes queer ecstasy as "being marked by both self-consciousness and obliviousness, possesses a potentially transformative charge."

Things I could write a page about each:

Taemin's use of temporality, specifically queer temporal unity with a deliberate subversion of the linear:

1. the contrast of plato's theory of forms with a futuristic aesthetic is connected through a gay fashion designer's vision of an ecstatic catholic rave (Palomo F/W 2020). the motifs of the virgin mary, jesus, etc with the y2k futurist aesthetics.

2. and the form of the narrative is one of an epic poem, of orpheus descending into hell to save his wife or princess bari descending into the underworld to find the cure to save her parents.

Taemin and ecstasy:

1. As me and yaejin's post about the Palomo outfit says, "taemin said thotcrime jail is now GAY CATHOLIC RAVE". Taemin dismantles the panopticon! Taemin destroys heaven and hell to become one with nature!

2. How this ties into Korean communal musical practices for 5000 years, the practice of communal music spaces as places of untying han and instead creating generative catharsis and communal uplift

Taemin and possession:

1. I talked about this a bit already with my how is taemin korean ask but Taemin channels BoA, is momentarily possessed by BoA as a higher power when he lipsynchs her lines. But I wrote my senior thesis on how in Indigenous spiritual cosmologies, possession isn't a demonic thing of an act of owning and claiming the way it is in Western culture. It's about mutual responsibility to the spirit of the land/object in your care, stewardship and commitment and expectations of care. Through BoA's voice Taemin channels the "transformative charge" of queer temporality

NGDA is a uniquely korean, uniquely queer narrative of liberation that retools the imposition of western history onto the korean peninsula into a way to present a colonized queer korean reality.

This interview with David Byrne is also something I would use to contextualize the discussion of music, ecstasy, and catharsis and the globalization of pop music with its base in African diasporic music.

I'm currently watching the Winx adaptation cause I was gonna hold off/not watch it at all but I like to torture myself and probably save my friends from watching this shit show.

I haven't watched Winx Club since I was around 11 so like 5 years but I'm starting to rewatch it between episodes to cleanse my palette and also enrage myself with what they got wrong even more.

The plot by itself is a good concept but it has way too many cons for people to be calling it a "good show". (Like with the first couple of seasons of Riverdale, that I still haven't finished)

- starting off with the obvious: racism, homophobia, biphobia, fatphobia, sexism ect.

- the whitewashing!! They seriously couldn't find a single latina and Asian to play Flora and Musa?? That is bullshit

- seriously shitty worldbuilding. Its meant to be futuristic and while it is a nice aesthetic the old, Woods vibes don't fit with what I remember

- the Burned Ones are a cool idea but I miss the Trix!! Where are my (gay) witches??

- basic bitch Regina George Stella!?!?

- why'd they change Musa's power?? They might as well have done with her what they did with Flora/Terra with a new character related to the old

- Where the fuck is Tecna?? And Timmy?? But also I dont want to see what they would have done to them.

- the outfits... they were varieties of colours so why are they now stuck with their powers' cool schemes

I might make a full post once I've finished but for now this is all I have to say on it.

#winx club #fate the winx saga #fate: the winx saga #this could have been a good show #if it didnt suffer from the same terrible writing as Riverdale
