Reluctant face of the Alternian revolution Karkat is NOT quite used to having an entire security detail yet, and isn't sure why they're all dressed like sci fi adventure movie characters??
to which I would say, if you're gonna be planning an underground revolution against a spacefaring despot why WOULDN'T you dress for the occasion. c'mon.
for my own entertainment I'm going to start a running list of every time I see Carlin in a lounge set I haven't seen before bc lord i have never seen a person with so many lol. her monthly Amazon lounge set budget has to be in the thousands i swear (edit: i know she gets free stuff i was just riffing when i typed this).
ok starting with the 2 i saw today (and honestly there might have been a 3rd but i couldn't see the pants to confirm):
actually after i finish this set i wanna do a misc oc artdump to get a bunch of ideas out for characters ive already drawn. i decided. im posting this so i can hold myself to that lol
UNFORTUNATELY! if you’re not in my main oc universe like the main group or mikey & eilidh i just forget to think abt you. 😭 though i have drawn devon & eleonoora a ton since i started this sketchbook in 2022. however solfrid and lovise get a single drawing EACH!! i should remedy that lol.
every time u think you've understood how low quality clothes r these days it gets worse huh. why is like medium cheap thirty quid type shit now five quid primark quality.
seeing how depop ended up is genuinely so weird. i’ve been on that app since 2018 and not only has it always been and is still the shittiest platform of all time but it’s also now owned by etsy and has a horrible reputation for … some reason
just saw someone point out how weird it is that the statue of the elf and the dog in lindon in trop (who i assumed was luthien bc like...who else) has a star of feanor on its chest
which like. i mean obviously the star is there bc somebody just didn't think this through beyond "oh this looks cool." BUT i think it is very funny to imagine that in the trop parallel universe, instead of becoming cautionary tales about hubris and ghost stories that parents use to scare their children into behaving, the feanorians have just become like. completely divorced from their political and historical motivations and the devastating consequences of their actions on people's actual lives and are instead now just like: Thee Fashionable Aesthetic. fashion designers sticking an eight-pointed star on everything to show that they're EDGY and PROVOCATIVE and NOT LIKE OTHER ELVES. showing up to elf school with the star of feanor on your shirt is the equivalent of that one kid in high school who always wore a che guevara shirt to class and told your teacher that they didn't do the homework because They Aren't Gonna Be Part Of The System, Man,
the netting, twills (both are cotton btw i misspoke), and black broadcloth are from Nick Of Time Fabrics deadstock fabric company
the raspberry coating fabric and the white brocade i didnt show in the video as it was prewashing (the photo added is before the wash so its kinda dirty lol) are from Lucky Deluxe fabrics also a deadstock/thrifted fabric company
the cotton muslin and white cotton broadcloth were from my stash from 3 years ago that was gifted to me by my step-grandparents and thw pink satin was also a gift from my mom. i do not know where they were bought from but im assuming joanns or walmart :/
the bats are from 1962Company on etsy and the vamp embroidery was from Coffee Juice Studio also on etsy
what a tumblr follow meant ten years ago: hi! I like your blog and want to see more of your content! maybe we can be friends?
what a tumblr follow means now: hi! I want you to follow me! I’m following you so that you’ll notice me and don’t intend to interact with you, ever! (but please interact with my content :) )
bonus: hi! i’m a bot! :D :D want to have inappropriate images displayed on your phone while you’re on public transport and your phone freezes so you can’t block me fast enough?? :D :D :D
speaking of genbu's "serious" sounding tone in his voicebank, i think that might be why he was such a dead ringer for teto pre-synthv-bank-release with just a couple little gender parameter tweaks. wait do my followers know this. sorry i know most of my vocal synthesizer talk is genuinely gibberish to my beloved and loyal long time followers but do you guys know this. for a few years, people had discovered that since utau teto and genbu have this similar strong enunciation and dark sounding tone plus teto can have a bit of a tomboyish edge to her voice anyway -> if u mess with some parameters and phonemes he'll sound close enough to her, so it became a bit of running gag in the community, along with just being a genuine and novel use case for his voicebank. actually recently i found out about someone who made a couple of synthv scripts to set genbus voice to his falsetto pitch and set the tension to drop during each syllable automatically to make him sound like the utau sora amaha. genbu's purpose is to impersonate other vocal synthesizers
