The idea that denim on denim is a fashion crime exists only because it looks working class and the worst thing you can do in a capitalist society is look like you perform manual labour.
Also part of the rebellion of punk was looking unashamedly poor. In the 60s and 70s calling someone “tidy” or “neatly dressed” was a genuine compliment. Untidiness defined the counter cultures of this time and looking clean cut was considered essential for mainstream beauty. So in the 70s and 80s when punks started looking sloppy, looking poor, wearing old battered clothes that were ripped and held together with patches and safety pins, this was rebellion against the middle/upper class ideal that everyone must emulate the tidiness of wealth.
What is considered “good fashion” is always defined as what looks wealthy. Short dresses and plastic heels and jackets that aren’t designed to close are luxurious, impractical, and flashy. Breezy collared shirts, crossbody bags, and slides are good for lounging by your pool, not for working. The fashion industry sells luxury so its important to look out for what it bags on. When the fashion industry decides that something looks ugly we should all ask “why?” Because there’s a high likelihood it simply looks poor.
I’m salty over how people are afraid to do things because they might be accused of stealing ideas because they saw bitchy drama happening here and there. WTF fandoms.
Stealing what again? We’re doing fanarts of a franchise for kids that we have no rights on anyway. Stop being possessive bitches over your generic ideas - yes they’re generic. Shut up and draw/write something with it.
Someone do something similar? Bond with them on how big brains you are. Someone has an idea you like? Write/draw something and tag them on it with thanks for the inspiration. I made friends this way.
Someone accuses you of stealing an idea? Tell them to sit on a salted cactus. Or better, ignore them. What are they gonna do, call the cops on you because you put a hat on pikachu and they totally thought about it one time? Lol
Stop worrying so much, this is all for fun. Jeez.
tropes exist. theyre inevitable in any story. besides theres only like 7 different kinds of stories. Its not about whether or not a type of story has been done before its about execution of the idea. Go create.
Do you ever lie awake wondering how the heck Gimli knows what a nervous system is
Clearly dwarves have medical knowledge far more advanced than that of the other races.
His Majesty Dr. Gimli, son of Gloin, Neurosurgeon, M.D.
gimli trying to explain his studies to legolas, a flat-earther
#*scroll down* #*remember that middle earth is canonically flat for elves and round for everyone else* #*scroll back up & smash that reblog button"
tired: legolas took gimli to valinor with him because they were bffs/in love/etc.
wired: legolas took gimli to valinor to prove the world was flat after arguing with him about it for decades
Sorry it’s what to elves
So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth). But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven. To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere…but left elves able to treat it like a flat disk. So elves can sail west and reach Elf Heaven, but a man or dwarf or hobbit who sails west will eventually wrap around to the east coast of Middle Earth.
This is why Legolas can see for such great, almost impossible distances. The Earth does not curve for him.
Legolas said fuck the horizon
Hmm. Adds more context to them leaving and sailing west at the end that I did not know previously.
wait so did frodo earn passage to elf heaven? is middle earth flat for frodo too now?
