I dunno, maybe Marcia had good reason to abscond with the house painter and shouldn’t have been black-listed as a film editor, is all I’m saying.

And we talk about the gold bikini moment for Leia, but we don’t talk nearly enough about that dude’s “creative” decision to put a barely legal Carrie Fisher in a white dress without undergarments and then toss her into a pool, oh sorry I meant garbage compacter.

None of this is helped at all by the character design for Ahsoka Tano in Season 1 of Clone Wars.

THERE ARE NO BRAS IN SPACE

*screams into the void that is apparently Lucas’s horny brain*

We talk about how the fandom repels anyone who is not a cis white boy, but it’s not like the creators of this franchise have done anything to say everyone is welcome.

Meanwhile, having seen so many cosplayers recreate her costumes with enormous detail and dedication, you cannot tell me there isn’t a huge market for padme figurines.

Even doing a search for padme figurines, it appears there are 2, outside of the toy line, and one is the white jumpsuit where the midriff has been brutally scratched off and the black, uncomfortable corset gown.

*jumpscare*

There are so many figurines available that searching for images of him from the movies is actually difficult, because the image search is 50% figurines.

Okay, but the number of highly detailed collectible statues of Emperor Palpatine vs. the number of highly detailed collectible statues of Padmé who has some of the best costumes in cinema history, is really fucked up.

Younger Child out here claiming he’s in an art slump while also creating a stat sheet for a demonic creature called PutsPineappleOnPizza.

(I don’t mind pineapple on pizza, but I am amused by this creature, regardless.)

I am not a woman (with bonus words “I’m a god” as necessary*).

This is an entire thread full of trans authors - mostly independent - writing across all sorts of genres

It's difficult to get trans stories published these days; the huge media corps aren't even looking anyone but the big names right now. We put our stories out where we can

Hey autocorrect, I said “bog bodies” and I MEANT “bog bodies”, ffs.

It is believed based off her burial goods that the Egtved Girl might have been a priestess or a priestess-in-training and that style of skirt as well as the huge medallion on her belt were ceremonial, but we don’t have a huge sample size for comparison.

Because it is MUCH shorter than the 1920s scientists who discovered it believed our supposed chaste ancestors would have worn, and it was also probably see-through, as the strings run up and down, connected by top and bottom bands, but would otherwise move freely. Like wearing the fringe from a

Leaving these reviews helps the book, helps the bookish ecosystem, and also we are sustained by them as we sit in the corner and greedily gnaw on them like squirrels.

Egtved Girl - Wikipedia

One of the best historical examples was found on the Egtved Girl, a well-preserved burial from Denmark. I am so very fascinated by the ways big bodies give us unique insights into the past!

She’s also the one with the scandalous string skirt.

Something tells me it will be very difficult to find linen curtains or sheets at the thrift shop, but I will certainly be trying!

I did, indeed! I got the instructions from the book below, although it’s pretty easy to find across the internet. There isn’t really a “pattern” because all the measurements are based off the measurements and preferred fit of the wearer, but it’s not by any means difficult to follow.

I sure think so! The range of motion it offers is so good, I’m sure some people would be bothered by the folds of fabric under the arms, but I don’t mind at all and am, in fact, very much here for the texture and visual interest.

I just love how it appears to not have shape as a garment, but on a person’s body suddenly has and creates shapes that are really cool.

Also, it is going to be delightfully airy during summer, I am excited about this.

I look forward to making more in different fabrics!

I have two modes of dress as a nonbinary forest creature: corsets and floaty skirts/leggings and floaty tops; and Put A Loose-Fitting Swath Of Cool Fabric On Me To Belt.

The no-waste bog shirts worn by Bronze Age ancestors beautifully fill this second inclination in a way no modern clothes can. 💚

It does seem that those of us with the neurodivergencies tend to have bodies that are either too loosey-goosey, or tighten up on us.

Thank you for sharing and donating so far! If we hit $2400 we will be able to pay the security deposit and breathe a little bit. We need to secure this apartment ASAP and the rest of the funds by the end of the month. Anything helps!

It’s not a compliment to refuse to see someone’s marginalizations or disabilities. You might think you’re doing them a favor by treating them as you would anyone else, but it doesn’t give the sense of normalcy you might think it does. (mileage may vary, marginalized people aren’t a monolith.)

To celebrate this occasion, I should make pancakes. I feel like they’ve been deeply underrepresented in these conversations.
