season change is upon us, is there any outfit you're excited to bring back into rotation? colors you are partial to? how about accessories/shoes? If you don't live in a place with seasons (or a place with negligible seasonal change/just feel like answering smth else), what is your favorite outfit lately?

The weather hasn't transitioned to fall here yet, but the stores are rolling out Halloween stuff and pumpkin spice treats already 🎃

My wardrobe hasn't really rotated much in the last few years, since I've been stuck at home for 4 years now, with the pandemic hitting about 1.5 years into that. I don't spend a lot of time outside anymore and tend to dress according to indoor conditions. Also, I've never been one to change the colours of my clothes according to the seasons, I just wear whatever colours I feel like at that moment.

However, I did recently go to some outdoor drag shows and was able to dress for hot weather! I have a hard time finding shorts I like, so I usually wear short skirts or short dresses to stay cool. Due to EDS, I have venous insufficiency, where the veins in my legs struggle to pump blood back to my heart, which means I need to wear compression socks in the heat, but I'm still on the search for some that don't look awkward on their own (they're sheer so they don't quite look like socks, but they're knee-high so they don't look like stockings, either), so I always cover them with either knee-high socks or full-length leggings. I got new glasses a few months ago and I always get two pairs at a time, one pair that's colourful and one that matches all my outfits.

When I went to see Ilona Verley, I wore my yellow Pikachu shirt and a skirt from Rancid Yogurt that I can't find the product photo for, but it has the same print as these leggings:

For accessories, I brought my tiny pink backpack, I wore a necklace that's silver with white gems on a star-shaped pendant, I had grey socks with bows on the outer sides, I had a light yellow floral-printed bow in my hair, and my mask was a pastel rainbow gradient. My shoes were what I usually wear, black Converse high-tops with white rubber and white stitching, since I like how they look, it's easy to find another pair whenever old ones need to be replaced, and the high tops are very supportive for hypermobile ankles. The makeup I wore was pink eyeshadow, pink lipstick, and pink glitter. I wore my new glasses that are yellow squiggles throughout clear plastic.

When I saw Saltina Shaker, I had 4 different plaids in my outfit in the form of a skirt that was black and white plaid, a hair bow that was a different black and white plaid, a mask that was red and black plaid, and a flannel shirt that was another type of red and black plaid. Under the flannel shirt, I was wearing the shirt I got at a Green Day concert that's black and white with a design of an American flag where the stripes are made of barbed wire. I'm not completely sure what accessories I had for this one, but I know I had socks that looked like skeleton legs, and I think I may have been wearing my ring that's silver with a grey gem and/or the black and red Green Day bracelet that I'd bought matching ones of for myself and my pen pal from grade 11 French class. I had the same pink backpack as when I saw Ilona, but I didn't have a bag that was fun and also matched this outfit, so I just went with the backpack. My makeup was red eyeshadow, red lipstick, and gold glitter. I wore my other new glasses that are transparent grey with a beveled look; I call them my crystal glasses because they look kinda like gems.

My physical health is finally getting better, so hopefully I can go outside and wear fun outfits more often again :)

Just finished the documentary Quiet On Set about all the abuse at Nickelodeon (its streaming on MAX. You should watch it) and holy shit. Like... I'm a little bit wrecked. But also just feel insane about the fact that like.... no one DID anything???

Like, all the adults kept talking about how terrible it was to be on set and blah blah blah but like.... there were children there too?? With absolutely NO control. In the same, or worse, conditions, and no one, did anything.

Aside from a couple of parents who did try but were immediately dismissed and told it was just "normal" and "keep their mouths shut and not cause problems". Like.... fuck all those people. Holy fuck.

This had context but I refuse to tell anyone

November 11 2023 A world building character! He's relevant between Sonic CD and Sonic Blast in my timeline. Amy was always easy to deliver to, she still lived in the town near Neverlake, but Sonic was a pain in his tail feather. Always chasing down Sonic just to deliver the Pen Pal letter Amy wrote for him. Amy wasn't allowed to have a phone yet and Sonic just didn't have one, so they send letters back and forth to each other telling each other a bit more about themselves and their adventures.

Amy likes to talk about something she learned about in school or some funny events that happen when she's helping her dad with his shop, and Sonic likes to talk about the adventure he went on and something that Tails invented.

After Sonic Blast, Tails and Sonic built a house (that's actually why Tails isn't playable in Sonic Blast, he's blueprinting how he's gonna remodel a rundown airplane into their 'home base'), so it was way easier for Josh to deliver the letters. But eventually, Amy moved away from the town to Station Square and well, he doesn't work there, so he stopped delivering the twos letters.

Every now and then he'll tell stories about the wacky situations he had to get himself into just to deliver a letter to the Blue Speedster just to see him quickly open it, read it, write a new letter, and hand him a new letter to deliver to Amy. He also misses Amy's cookies, she's a little kid, but she really knew a good cookie recipe.

Fred and Tubbo are also making me bonkers

What you said about the blood just immediately made me think Both

Fred at this point in time has 1 person he cares about and it sure is Tubbo

Then you have Tubbo who adores Fred and has been told by Fred that they are not a good person

And all Tubbo does it say if Fred is a villain he will follow

Just ugh these 2 ♡

The world could burn and these 2 would be on a date

Anon you get me !!! I don't know when or how I became so unwell about them but I just wanna pen odes and essays about the intricacy of their dynamic cause its so interesting. When you put your mind to it - at the base level - Tubbo has talked more to Fred more than he has to some of the islanders and yet however small the period they've known each other be - each of them knows the other one oh so well. Tubbo recognising on one glance that Fred did not write that book , Fred recognising in one conversation the kindness Tubbo harbours.

It's such a victorian love story where they communicate through letters and flowers. In the language of flowers, their love blossoms in the shadows but its full true beauty is known only to us. To them they both bear the weight of their shared sins, bear the weight of their pasts and view themselves somewhat unworthy of the kindness the other exhibits to them. But in each other, they've found a haven where their souls meet in silent whispers of the heart, speaking in the language of flowers, revealing their affection through nature's secret code.

Like I said their story is tied by a red string of fate but the red is blood - whose though ; that only time will tell. But I have faith that together, they will find redemption for the actions they have done or will do to save the other. Like it's evident they would 'kill for each other,' and in that devotion, we discover the true meaning of love's sacrifice, forbidden though it may be.

forming parasocial relationships with the people at Max who answer customer service emails <3

they’re in love, one of them rejected the other, one will never be able to think of the word friend without the other, they know that they’re using each other, they care deeply for each other, one uncovered a kidnapping for the other so they would reply to their letters pretty please

they’re frubbo and i’m qpenpals thanks for tuning into this weeks broadcast-

who wants to see bruce being bullied? doesn't matter, here you go

...

“—per my last missive, Sir: if you want this equation to exist, then the principles of linear algebra must necessarily exist.” Korvin waves a thin stack of ruled paper—covered with sprawling formulas, symbols, bullet lists, and patchwork paragraphs on both sides—like he’s trying to banish a demon. That demon, in this instance, is “Batman being stubborn.”

Bruce looks taken aback, like something is happening outside of his set parameters. From how Dick tried to explain it: apparently, Bruce and Korvin have a whole “pen pals” routine going on, and it’s still thriving despite them sharing the same living quarters for the past few months?

Do they actually waste stamps on this? Where do they hide the envelopes?

(Dick raised his hands in surrender at that line of questioning.)

Tim knows Bruce is a creature of habit and standards of operation—of which he completely respects because it’s efficient—but his staunch adherence to routine is next-level neurotic. Normally, he'd be furious about being sidetracked.

Yet, Korvin’s thrown caution to the wind and got so mad over math, like the fussy nerd that he tries to hide being, that he’s directly confronting Bruce—full “David vs Goliath” vibes here. And he's winning.

“I trust your work,” Bruce finally says, holding his hand out for the papers.

That only makes Korvin’s face twitch harder. “Sure. Why not. Everyone needs a bit of make-believe. Escapism in these trying times and shitass economy.”

“‘Shitass economy,’” Cass murmurs, of course latching onto the bit that everyone reacts to.

Babs sighs in disgust.

Not me only realising 400 pages into book two of the rainwilds that detozi is a woman

The only letter of Leo’s that Nico keeps on hand is one Leo sent from the Waystation after a bat flew into a tower (the tower wasn’t even there until the bat showed up) and after failing to catch it to release outside, they decided it can just be a new resident. Leo took a Polaroid and mailed it to Nico with the only explanation being “is this u?”

aunt zoe uses her new newspaper job to cause conflict at the baby shower

ive decided to implement a System actually. im only going to be online on wednesdays and saturdays definitely for the rest of the month and maybe into september .... i love it here a little too much so i need to defamiliarize myself with it idc if that doesnt make sense it does to me .... also i need to touch grass more i know this to be true. this needs to be my summer of devouring a book in a day not my summer of boohoo iphone baby. going into the world to experience beautiful and natural things etc etc

"I remember a time when everyone I loved hated me because I hated them. So what, so what, so fucking what. I remember a time when belly buttons were knee high When only shitting was dirty and everything else clean and beautiful. I can't remember anything without a sadness so deep that it hardly becomes known to me. so deep that its tears leave me a spectator of my own STUPIDITY And so I go rambling on with a hey nonny nonny no. How long can one go on writing and writing like you. I now don't really know who I'm writing to or why its quiet [sic] peculiar. I usually write like this and forget about it, but if I post it it's like a little part of my almost secret self in the hands of someone miles away who will wonder what the hell is going on or just pass it off as toilet paper. Anyway I don't care really what happens because when I think about it, its so bloody unimportant – but what is important, who has the right to say that this letter is not important and Jesus is a something anyway – in any way – anyway – Yeah! I wonder what it would be like to be a cretin or something. I bet its great. Er how are you keeping, Stuart old chap. Are you OK – is life good – bad, shite, great – wonderful as it was or is it just a thousand years of nothing, and coalmen on and on and on. I think this is it Goodbye Stu don't write out of – er, what's it? Well, not because you think you ought to. Write when you feel like. So goodbye (from John. You know, the one with glasses) ANYWAY BYE BYE See you soon. I don't know why I said that."
