send me some character requests!!

while i get working on those other prompts from my other post, please give me some characters for this and the expressions you want for them!

preferably mainly resident evil characters, as that is what i'm currently obsessing over

however i will more than gladly do characters from my other interests too! (check my pinned post for the list)

send requests my way in my ask box :) comments here are fine too but its easier to organise asks

these beautiful expression sheets are courtesy of @magicalpouchofmagic and @quinngefail respectively! <3

It is actually very annoying that baldur's gate 3 has the most explicit portrayals of bisexuality for games like this where every romance option is bi and yet that is still not enough for some ppl. They're still gonna call them playersexual even though the origin companions in bg3 flirt with one another WITHOUT input of the player's gender. It's not enough. Some of you literally want every companion to say "btw I'm bi" in the intro scene before it's considered "valid" "bisexual rep—even though its a goddamn video game set in another world. I thought you wanted nuanced portrayals of queerness but i guess that doesnt apply to bi folks lol. I thought you all had media literacy skills bc you literally yell at that to ppl rightfully calling you a biphobe by implying that these characters are either gay or straight depending on your tav's gender (bc that is literally what playersexual is).

#elaine talks #i GET i truly do get the critiques of games that do feel playersexual in some sense #like...why doesnt anders ever tell a female hawke about karl if he's in a romance with her #but this doesnt really apply to bg3 at all lol where all the origin companions do flirt with each other and all clearly want to bang halsin #it makes me feel like im playing a WILDLY different game that some of u bc what do u mean their sexuality #depends on tav's #fandom critical

i finally figured out why this year’s met gala theme irked me so much and it’s a simple reason, summed up in three words:

clean. girl. aesthetic.

karl lagerfeld (rest in piss) built his platform and influence on the commodification of seemingly “rich” traits- aka, ‘less is more’. we’re talking neutrals, thin gold jewelry, white embellishments, and overall simplicity.

this style had a big sway over the fashion world in the 90s (read: the “heroin chic” phenomenon) and we see it making a comeback today in the fashion world and even our everyday lives. (how many of us have seen one of those clean aesthetic accounts on social media? me 🙋🏽‍♀️!)

it’s well known that history repeats itself, and nowhere is that more obviously prevalent than in fashion. fashion is influenced by old and new factors, and every few years, the same type of style comes along. lo and behold, the y2k and 90s renaissance that is currently sweeping the world. and with old trends comes the… not so nice bits.

so what is the “clean girl aesthetic”, exactly? to be extremely brief, it’s the trend that combines looks and lifestyle to create a look that is meant to appear classy yet minimalist. some of its key features include slicked back buns, thick gold hoops, and neutral-colored clothing. (note: this style actually first got its roots among women of color, especially black and hispanic women, but as it became more mainstream, white people claimed it as their own and essentially erased years of fashion and woc history. yeah, i know…)

some of the major champions/idols of the clean girl aesthetic (try to catch familiar names!) include bella & gigi hadid, kendall jenner, hailey bieber, and madison beer. (note that these are all thin, rich, generically attractive white women, most of whom are models and/or nepotism babies. it’s a great example of the “diversity” within the current aesthetic as well as the prerequisites it seems to imply.)

so what do the hadid sisters have to do with karl lagerfeld? i’m glad you asked. see, they may not be anything alike, but they are inextricably intertwined with one another for one reason and one reason only…

money.

(more specifically, the physical manifestation of the idea of having money. phew, that’s a doozy.)

for years, less has come to mean more, and maximalism has given way to minimalism. who doesn’t want to be rich, right? just the idea of looking like somebody rich makes anybody empty their pockets. hey, buy this dress, it’s a dupe of one madison beer just wore. you haven’t included this $70 serum in your skincare routine? hailey bieber literally posted it on her story. what do you mean you can’t afford the dior lip oil? everyone has one. do you have this? do you have that? are you rich? are you not? if you are, you better buy into this.

yeah. it’s a lot.

no one is immune to propaganda. we’ve all been influenced to buy something or watch something or do something because we’ve seen it on the internet. and now, you can be your favorite celebrities in just a few clicks. how enticing is that?

this whole concept of looking like money is as old as time, but just now is it extremely accessible. karl lagerfeld, the old coot, knew the power of wanting to look rich, and he capitalized and profited off of it as much as he could. if you look up chanel’s old collections karl designed, you’ll find they look nearly identical in terms of ideas to the runways of today. remember how i said history repeats itself? yep.

so yeah- i don’t like the met gala theme. not only because karl lagerfeld was a piece of shit that chanel should have booted at the very beginning, but also because of the pressure of the clean girl aesthetic that he may have packaged as “heroin chic”, but is still prevalent in the fashion of today.

It may take generations of effort but it is possible, and honorable, to move the Earth

  Stories of humans leaving Earth behind due to catastrophe are not rare, but the mass exodus usually happens on a spaceship. I'm going to make a bold generalization here but I think a lot of you would agree these movies draw their philosophy from Noah's ark. In the west, when nature is destroyed it's usually unstoppable, like the wrath of god. Humans live in god's creation, so when god's creation comes to an end, humanity is at god's mercy. In Chinese mythology however, there is no such supreme being, humans and gods alike obey the natural order, the "Tao", if you will. So, in Chinese flood myths the hole in the sky is patched up by a goddess, the flood from the Yellow River was contained and drained by human constructions over the course of 13 long years. The Chinese equivalent of the Icarus myth talks about a man chasing the sun and dying of thirst, but he leaves behind a peach forest as a water supply so that future generations may continue the chase. In Chinese mythology, and thus, philosophy, nature is malleable: It can be shaped, it can be conquered. It may take generations of effort but it is possible, and honorable, to move the Earth.

Any Marxist-Leninist girlies/enbies here? I would like to create a safe space for us to discuss our ideas openly, since I don't see a lot of women with voices in this community :)

Let's share ideas and be friends!!!

Hi i don't know if you know this but one of the bracelets that Paul wears is Elena's. The one with smiley faces there are pictures of her on ig wearing it before. Paul also gave her one of his pirelli hat.

oH ?? i had no idea 😵 ofc i had to go on a little stalk down both of their ig accs and… well….. 👀

#thoughhhh yk when it comes to stuff like this i always wanna be a bit critical #sorry if im boring but #like do we have any proof that it actually used to be hers ? or do we just know that she also wore it? #did any of the other ppl theyve hung out with during the summers also wear it ?? #cute w the hat tho <33 #also like even if it's really her hat then i don't see it as being super likely that there's something between then considering #(bracelet* not hat) #how many people have denied it #i feel like the more common thing in these cases is confirming it even if it's not true so since ppl are denying it #even ralf and karl i think (could be false tho) 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ #sorry to be the devils advocate lol i would love to see paulito in love or whatever but hmmm #pls do feel free to come back and add if you have any more info !!! #asks! #anon!

So, you mean to tell me that Mordo, who was set up in the first Doctor Strange movie to be an antagonist would've been killed off in MoM?! And to have his battles happen offscreen?! And not have any with Doctor Strange?!

Well, good thing that was cut out cause if that happened in the movie then that's utterly disrespectful to the character and makes his turn from the previous movie entirely pointless. Plus, this would've been yet another death to prop up Wanda as a villain.....screw that nonsense!

[dream-critical]

what do you think about George, Foolish and Karl? don't hold back. Speaking of Bitzel, who do you think are some CC's that dislike dream?

Alrighty so fair warning I never really watched foolish and George so if you have things to add or would like to say something about them feel free to send an ask! Also this got pretty long so putting it under a readmore

Anyway I'm gonna be honest here. Never have been fond of George. He's boring and average and painfully white. And like, that's not a bad thing in general bc. Like yeah being Average is fine like that's normal.

But the way stans act like he's sooooooo hot and sooooo funny etc is weird bc he just. Isn't? Maybe it's bc I'm a lesbian but I just don't get the hype at all. I do suspect it's bc he tries to be as neutral as possible on everything and not share his real thoughts on stuff afaik so they see him as an easy target to project all their thoughts and emotions on to. And the way some people will make him look extra feminine or sooooo petite and girly bc they ship dnf and play into weird and fetishistic tropes is just gross. I've already talked about my opinion on rpf here before but like in general I feel like he's too absent to really stan while also being wildly mistreated by the people who claim they love him. He literally just looks like every other random British person ever.

He also just. Never seems truly happy streaming. I only watched a couple of streams of his before I left the fandom but like. Idk he seems like he's over it and always has been.

Karl is. Idk. I have complicated thoughts on him? Like on one hand I feel like he's leaning into the softboy aesthetic too hard, almost as if he's just trying to appease people. on the other hand like. If he truly wants to express himself that way he has every right to do so and he should do whatever he want.

I do feel like he gets unnecessary hate from Mr beast fans especially since Mr beast just. sucks. But also he has been called out for a couple of things like misusing and just overusing AAVE, I'm pretty sure he made a Hitler joke once. Also the banter guests, the charity stream with I think autism speaks? If I remember correctly. The ice Poseidon stuff etc.

It's all just ????? Like it feels like he's trying to seem harmless and soft to just. Get away with shit? he has talked about anxiety a couple of times though. But also like you are an adult bro take responsibility.

Foolish is. Eh. I legit didn't watch his content bc while he obviously is a talented builder I didn't really think he was funny or interesting. idk if he still associates with the others but if he does thats questionable.

When it comes to Bitzel saying other CCs also dislike dream. I'd say it's probably mainly the smaller CCs around him. I've looked into it more and maybe quackity as well? Bc apparently he hasn't interacted with the Dt in a while in like. A sincere and genuine way.

I do wish they would speak out but hm idk. We'll have to see.

However. I do feel like talking and speculating about this gets a tiny bit parasocial. Like it's interesting ngl. But I don't think like. Trying to figure it out and reading into every single interaction deeply will help anyone and I have seen some people do that shit.

We can't really know, they won't tell us and they are probably all very wary of speaking up bc dream stans are very aggressive and obsessive lmao

“The history of science, like the history of all human ideas, is a history of irresponsible dreams, of obstinacy, and of error. But science is one of the very few human activities - perhaps the only one - in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected. This is why we can say that, in science, we often learn from our mistakes, and why we can speak clearly and sensibly about making progress there.”

dtblr is so fucking hypocritical but especially when it comes to Karl. like, people will cite things he does or doesn’t do as evidence for why he’s a bad person who hates dream and loves quackity, when a good amount of people they love (tina, foolish, bad, etc.) behave in a similar, if not the exact same, way. and they’ll say “i’m allowed to dislike whoever i want” , which is true, but they dislike him in the way where they constantly have to justify it by taking issue with everything he does. like, i don’t have a problem with people who just dislike him, i have a problem with people who don’t like him and are CONSTANTLY saying he hates dream and that’s why they don’t like him. that’s dumb. get fucked. they are friends and they’ve been friends this whole fucking time. and, really, the fact that no one is mad at dream for not interacting with karl on twitter but they were all raging over the fact that karl wasn’t interacting with him says a whole fucking lot. and of course no one is going to recognize that karl replied to him almost instantly, because that would mean recognizing that they had their head stuck too far up their own parasocial asses.

anyway. you don’t have to post this, but it’s something that’s been making me mad lately

#fucking exactly dude they hate him the same way they criticize drantis for hating dream like ik this is the internet but maybe at least TRY #to have some form of moral code OR JUST SHUT UP ABOUT HIM !!! IF YOU HATE HIM LIKE YOU SAY !!!!! #like the way this user FS had his notifs on but has his name in her mouth #sorry karl is the most socialable excitable hard working person who every cc adores and has multiple full time successful jobs and doesn’t #spend every waking moment concerned about ONE of his friends be so fucking fr
