#like even with stuff like makeup

[box-dwelling]

I swear every now and then I'm like "hmmm I mean maybe I'm not really that non binary. I don't really mind that much stuff with gender and am kinda cis passing" and then I talk to a cis woman for 5 minutes about womanhood and immediately remember that our experiences of gender are very much not the same.

#oh i don't like makeup #i know this sounds very pick me im not like other girls but im not talking about like #i mean stuff cis women talk about saying is a universal experience of womanhood in femanist spaces #they might be right but if they are i sure as hell am not a woman #idk genders hard #i just want to look like i was in a band in the 80s is that too much to ask? #idk do a lot of afab nb people find feminism really alienating and isolating at points #like they make these broad statements about womanhood that are often based on oppression and trauma #and oppression and trauma that ive experienced but the experience still feels so alienating #like even with stuff like makeup #i think a lot of it is basing everything about womenhood on either suffering or sisterhood #and sisterhood has universally treated me like shit historically and i don't feel like femmenity is suffering #i dont like all of it #theres a ton of it i dont like #but the stuff i do like I like because it makes me happy? #non binary #nb #lgbt

we need to destroy the idea that girls should wear makeup. normalize bare faces on prom queens and flower girls and cheerleaders. no products at all instead of '7 product simple makeup routine.' no more 10 step skincare and regular facials and dermablading and gua sha just to be comfortable with yr natural face. i want to see eye bags on the funny librarian and acne on the swim coach and wrinkles on all our adult role models. i want to see a 16 year old girl that has never tried putting on eyeshadow. i want to see a 7 year old girl who doesn't have to go out and buy powder for her dance recital. i want to see trans women and girls everywhere to never have to wear makeup, regardless of how well they 'pass.' no more 'contouring to look masc' either. a post-beauty industry world is possible

reblogs are on but if you bring up the stage makeup point that i have addressed three times yr blocked on sight ☹️

#this is me warding myself against the b arbie m ovie shitstorm. </3 #too many teenage girls have had 'bimbo feminist' thrust upon them by the attention economy + consumer-feminist culture #its ok to just be fucking lame. like you can still be fem/me and stuff while doing it #there is a world where you can feel comfortable in yrself even if you arent Aesthetic #the makeup industry is trying to hinder this tho #plus i saw that post thats like. 'the reason we see a lot of casual pseudo-gender-essentialist and choice feminism rhetoric... #... is because we have fewer posts now that have basic feminist messages' #that resonated so i am the change i want to see in the world #i wanna try and make a r iot g rrrl masterpost for anyone getting into that side of things later so lmk if you want to see it

I honestly love the clothing styles of each of the turtles in this show and I love how these styles really incorporate their personalities as well.

Like, obviously Donnie has the best sense of style, yeah? Think that’s something pretty agreed upon here. Everything we see him put together is very meticulously crafted and clean. That goes with his personality because Donnie is a very meticulous person in general, and he knows what he likes very, very well, and knows how to flaunt it in turn. Him commenting on colors he enjoys or disapproving of outfits that the others see no problem with also shows how he just generally has an eye for this kind of thing. He doesn’t just know what looks good on himself, but also what looks good on others - and I think this ties into his love of gift giving too. Donnie also has a flair for making sure that his things have his “mark” on them, and his clothing is no exception. All that he wears and how he wears them screams “Donnie.”

Mikey is really fun because his styles are honestly a pendulum between super simplistic and incredibly out there. And often, you’re going to see a lot of color or patterns to both. And in my opinion I think that all reflects really well on Mikey’s character - he’s got a colorful personality but even more than that he’s incredible sure of who he himself is. Mikey’s style, I feel, is less what looks good as clothes and more what sparks joy in Mikey himself. His bright stickers he wears are a testament of that! He’s comfortable in his own skin and his style reflects this perfectly, whether he goes for a more out-there look or a more toned down one.

Now, for Leo. Okay, I think I’m actually in the minority here I feel because Leo’s style isn’t really that bad? Hear me out- if you actually look at what he wears, try taking out, like, one accessory. Suddenly, that outfit works! He even manages to put together many good outfits in the series, but his “bad” ones are the ones that tend to stand out, alas (just like how his mistakes tend to be big ones oop-) Basically, my personal look at him is not that he’s inept at styling at all, but that he has a “too much” gene. And like everyone else, this sense of style is completely like him, too. Going too far to impress when all he needed to do was slow it down some to think things through. (And funnily enough, a lot of his outfits take random aspects from his brothers too - “nothing without them” huh?)

For Raph, I feel bad for him since pretty much all of his clothes are inevitably going to be ripped, but he makes them work pretty much each time. Like Leo, Raph tends to go more sporty with his looks, but I also noticed that his stuff often goes in that in between of comfy, cool, and cute. His pajama suit in particular comes to mind in terms of “cute” as it’s more something you’d see younger children in rather than older kids, and I think it can be a subtle nod to the fact that for all Raph tries to seem older, he’s still just a kid too.

I could probably go on, but these are just all off the top of my head - I love how the boys’ personality’s come out in so many different ways.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #rise raph #I love fashion actually #if you’re wondering where this came from it came from me watching hours of outfit creation vids #but yeah! I honestly could probably go more into it #but I’m going off my memory for the most part rip #Leo in particular makes me sad because I disagree with like 99% of the fandom about his fashion sense LOL #I don’t think it’s bad but it’s def not close to Donnie level #Donnie is his own category #Leo though he’s not just jerseys and ripped sleeves #he wears full eye makeup as a granny and kills doing it #his pirate costume was very well put together imo #even his regular weird frog like disguise is perfectly fine when you get rid of the goggles #I ALSO don’t think Raph’s style is bad either #my boy has more difficulty with clothes since he’s limited to the stretchier stuff but like #he’s got good style!! #I’m def looking more into this all than necessary but #watch me come back to this and change it like fifty times #if you’re wondering what I mean about Leo’s outfits taking from his brothers #look at Raph’s standard disguise (the one they go out to play basketball with) #ripped sleeves and a backward cap #one of Leo’s main outfits in The Clothes Don’t Fit the Turtle? #ripped sleeves and backwards cap #incedentally these borrowed aspects actually hinder his overall look! #his outfit without them is more HIM y’know? which says a lot about allll their individual styles

Maybe controversial, but on posts about being dumb where girls are like saying ‘but I’m actually smart.’ Like tbh, I don’t really believe them. Like if you’re smart why does feeling dumb feel so good or hot or whatever to you then? I kinda feel like it’s having an excuse to let go of trying as much as you would be when you’re saying your smart. If you’re like really actually smart, I don’t feel like a break from ‘being smart’ would be such a relief or like as appealing.

#if you’re on my blog much may have noticed I’m just having a lot of feelings about this more lately #like it’s okay to not be smart #you can be happier #and like I feel like I sometimes get people who try to call me smart #like there’s diff skill sets #I think I’m still pretty good at soft skills and like makeup stuff #but like I regularly can’t get left and right right or name all the months and so on for lots of things #idk. I feel like dumb doesn’t mean you’re horrible at everything #like you still have value and can make a positive impact but just in different ways #I’m a soo much happier when at work I’m more focused on being someone others really like to work w than like being efficient at my job #and honestly seems like people prefer that #I have too many thoughts about at this lately #really hoping throughing them into the intenrwbt even if it’s more in tags gets out of my head more #personal #also very much not at a 100 notes but for a text post from me it’s impressive so… #100+ #little thoughts

makeup stores on coruscant have to be the size of an american outlet mall or something. the amount of species it has to offer product to is like. just the tip of the iceberg. beyond that it has to offer every sort of product every species needs ('skin' (or similar) care, 'hair' (or whatever) products, shadows and mascaras, perfumes, etc), it also has to have a variety within the products (like how humans need stuff for oily skin, stuff for dry skin, stuff for 'average skin') AND a variety of shades and tones within each variety (red foundations and pink foundations and mauve concealers and chartruese correctors). NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE BRANDS.

you think a trip to your local makeup store takes forever? imagine going with your twi'lek, togruta, mikkian, etc girlfriends. you all need SUCH different products. it'd be a fucking DAY TRIP just to get EYESHADOW AND FOUNDATION.

#girl i dont even think about makeup that much. but this isnt even just makeup. #this logic can be applied to anything--not just aesthetic stuff #it's like how the medical complex. the foremost one on coruscant. is the size of a fucking CITY. #because every species needs specialists for every single issue!! #there's SO MuCH to cater to! #clothes too! there's different sleeve holes for every body. different sizes for every single shape. different brands for every one of those #clothing stores have to be just as big! #shopping on coruscant must be HELL. #or anywhere really but since coruscant is the Big One... the one RAMPANT with capitalism... #yeah. #coruscant #star wars

[worm-in-a-trenchcoat]

Idk if I’m just out of the loop or what. But I just recently found out like two days ago about the absolute blatant false advertisement issue with that Frankie phone holder hand play set thing-

Just… just look at this shit y’all

On the right is what the box claims is what’s inside, but in the left is what you actually get and it’s just- what???

Apparently they’re reissuing the product with the correct advertisement and now they’re trying to get rid of the ones currently on the shelves and are putting them on sale lol.

This is at my Target lol.

I can’t believe they thought they could do that and no one would complain?? Like I’d be SO upset if I opened that box and saw that bs💀

-

People are saying it may have been the concept design and they just didn’t change it before the actual product was released but like, how do you even do that?? Shit is wild fr 💀

#monster high #I’m honestly kinda mad because I really wanted that cool hand #not even for the makeup or any of the other stuff #the hand is just so cool but what you actually get is just plain ugly imo lol 💀 #the quality control with this Gen is an absolute flaming hot mess and this just further proves that #like come on #imagine getting this as a Christmas present as a kid #ik I’d be crushed if I opened it and didn’t get what was on the box #I can see parents getting this for their kids already especially now that it’s on sale #Mattel really needs to do better

Ngl still hurt by the anon who said my partner and I are both too feminine to tell im the butch despite the photos in question being from halloween and everything

#like i know i should just move past it and anon was clearly the asshole in the situation #welp... i am sensitive and already have trauma around being percieved as/told im too feminine to be how i wanna be👍 #and the fact that it came from another butch #and they said they also are low income and wear feminine stuff like dresses sometimes #which... i know that is so hypocritical why am i letting someone like that get me down #and i wasnt even wearing a dress or a skirt or anything i just had halloween themed fake nails and a headscarf and like. a miniscule amount #of makeup on #but anyways #the fact it came from another butch really hurt #cuz like. id expect someone w a similar gender experience to understand how fucking hurtful that is #and i keep thinking about it bc i wanted to be poison ivy for purim but i keep having panic attacks #bc i keep worrying ill get told im too feminine again #fuck my life #vent

[stabbingandorbeingstabbed]

#i have weirdly specific feelings abt wearing makeup #i wear a bit of eyeliner and eyeshadow sometimes #but ive always had. really weird feelings abt stuff on my lips? #not just as a sensory thing but like. idk. it changes my face so much it lowkey freaks me out sometimes #i had a phase around 16-17 i did tons of weird creative makeup including clown looks but even then i only did it in a super specific way #and only ever black lipstick and ONLY on days i was doing weird shit with my eyes or cheeks #but since t and top surgery a lot of my body dysphoria is like. basically gone? #and i feel a lot more free to play with makeup and fashion and stuff #so im dipping my toes in #i dont think i'll ever become a Makeup Person #like. foundation makes my skin crawwwwl #but i can at least have fun making my lips look shiny

I’m trying to find a way to parse this but like:

Make up culture is bad because of how capitalism has twisted appearance to be a basis of worth and social value. However, humans have been putting stuff on their skin since our ancestors started losing hair (maybe even before?) and ornamentation does have significant historic cultural value outside of modern late-capitalism induced self loathing.

Like. Make-up is not a thing in my immediate family. My mother and older sister? Nothing. My little sister is going to be so lucky to grow up in a space where she won’t have any expectation or support for make-up culture. I know make-up culture a shitty phenomenon; I know it steals time and money and self-worth from people at its worst and at its best feeds back into an appearance based cultural hierarchy.

But. But. There is such a rich and vibrant history to cosmetics outside of what is sold to reinforce that inevitably toxic culture. So many forms of art in face paint and more permanent and interesting body modification! There’s history and traceable evolving styles and intentions! And it fucking sucks that it’s been so corrupted to the point of no longer reflecting it’s original intent of being creative and unique and interesting!

Sometimes it just sounds like ‘don’t have tattoos don’t you know those annoying punks and degenerates have those?’ has just been repackaged as ‘don’t wear make-up don’t you know those annoying preps and conformists do that?’ Like I get what you’re trying to say but there is nuance to these conversations and willfully ignoring that nuance makes you sound ridiculous at best and outright hostile to any deviation from your standards at worst.

#ra speaks #personal #be normal if you reblog this or else I’ll sigh loudly and be disappointed in you #saw a dumb post. saw replies I didn’t 100% agree with. #why can’t people just not interact w posts that they don’t like #I know I know it takes soooo much self control especially for a tumblr user #but jfc stop acting like option A and option Z are a strict dichotomy #when there’s 26 letters in the English alphabet and we haven’t even touched numbers yet #you know??? like. #they’re not right. you’re also not right in an equal and opposite way. can we approach complex topics with more critical thinking please. #anyways i like when people have awesome extreme and colorful makeup it’s cool. I hate when people have bland ‘natural’ makeup that’s wack #what’s the point of having cool art stuff you can put on your skin if you’re just gonna. paint in skin colors?? #this isn’t abstract art of painting a white canvas white that’s weird and externally motivated standards that do not have artistic intention #which defeats the purpose of having cool art stuff you can put on your skin.

Crazy how “fatherless behavior” is always directed towards women for doing things that if a man was doing it you wouldn’t think twice

#the exception is sometimes queer men #i still see it directed towards trans men probably bc the commenter still sees them as a woman #and I’ve seen it a few times directed towards cis gay men who are doing something overtly feminine #like wearing dresses and makeup and stuff #which is still misogyny ! #but like I just saw it commented on this video of a woman saying she was going to a rave #literally that’s it she was talking about going to a rave #but women aren’t allowed to enjoy music I guess!! she must be fatherless!! #MAYBE it had to do with the way she was dressed? but it was just appropriate rave clothing it wasn’t even anything particularly notable #if it had been a man you wouldn’t have cared #even if he was like covered in tattoos with 15 different hair colors #as long as he was cis and still masculine he would not have been accused of fatherlessness #sometimes opal says stuff

What if magic not only effected how much you could do (make body heat) but also effected density so you get situations like

Ventus, with tiny wispi on his chest: awww little guy!!!! Warm little spark

Ventus, with an archon wispi on his chest: Bestie your so heavy my poor lungs

You ever have an adult cat pounce on you? Its cute when they are a kitten but ough. Heavy fluffball

Oo

Magic is stored in the form (and causes heavy :) ) even if you don't look it

#stuff like this makes me remember when my brain wondered if having illusions/whatever on yourself feels like makeup #like you can feel it even if it isn't there #also is that cat example based on experience steel #hi steel!

i might be a cunt in this situation but, i just bailed on a hangout with a friend and some of his friends (btw went on his own) cause they for some reason got reservations at some rly "fancy" overpriced restaurant and tbh i hate those, obviously i looked up the menu in advance and it looks terrible so i just stayed home lmfao... the pandemic rly ruined my ability to suck it up for the sake of idk.. keeping appearances or w/e... i aint getting out of my PJs for overpriced pasta (cause lets face it, i aint ordering seafood or steak .. barf)

there's a lot of aphoic "joke" posts that circle around from time to time and i don't trust ppl who reblog any of them bc even if they don't intend it to be aphobic the post was made as a way to make fun of us and de-legitimize our identities. like Why would u want to spread that around lol

#text #discourse #aphobia #'ace nicki minaj moodboard' and 'sephora asexual friendly makeup' are two that are so frustrating cuz u try telling someone who refuses #to even try to understand aro/ace ppl that it's aphobic and theyre like lol it's just a joke its funny bc [whatever] like. Those were expli #*explicitly made to make fun of aspec people. because they don't like us and don't want us in their community . fucking sick of it #like. use ur brain. just bc something doesnt explicitly say 'all aspec ppl should kys' or something doesnt make it not aphobic #it's the aspec version of those trumed comics with like . a trans man not binding with long hair and they go haha look at this #trender LOL so cringe !!1! And ppl who can get how thats transphobic but not how other stuff is aphobic drive me crazy like ru just trying #not to understand. OK SORRY. RANT OVER.
