like clockwork someone who's been openly a sex pest for decades gets named as a rapist and sexual predator and we all get to play the hit parade with such classics as:
oh my god oh my god did you know this industry full of rich people who are rewarded for exploitative and abusive behaviour...has an issue with rape and abuse??? CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???? (yeah man we know. we've known for quite a while actually. for longer than I've been alive for sure.)
oh my god I can't believe there are rapists among us (1 in 3 women have experienced rape, who do you think is doing it?)
but he seemed so nice! (not really tbh)
well I met him and he never raped me and like, I'm really hot so if he was really a rapist he would have (Jesus fuck get help)
is it really rape to fuck 16 year old girls when you're in your 30s? (yeah it is if you fucking rape them mate)
can't believe everyone knew but never said!!! (they literally did say and also hey imagine if you will what reasons there might be too not say anything, such as, say, it's not your story to tell and the victim had expressed a wish to not be at the centre of a whole shitstorm)
Real Victims wouldn't go to journalists they'd go to the cops!!! (hey guys I have some upsetting news about the experience of reporting rape to the cops)
This is a conspiracy to make this irrelevant celebrity look bad! (please touch grass)
it's all just a bit of fun innit (no)
and every time we all over again have to go to this place where rape is simultaneously a significant threat and common experience (agreed) but also everyone who's ever talked about being raped is lying, and nobody's ever done a rape even if there's 20 years of documented evidence and on camera confessions and also their whole public persona is 'cheeky sex pest' (fucking. what?)
and then that guy hopefully gets cancelled and people feel a bit more guilty about watching him. and then they'll go HOORAY THE EVIL IS DEFEATED WE HAVE GOT RID OF THAT GUY THAT DID THE RAPES. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE. COMEDY/FILM/MUSIC/TV IS FREE OF PREDATORS NOW
and then 6.5 seconds later allegations will come out about someone else and we will start the whole thing again from scratch OH MY GOD CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ABUSE IN THIS INDUSTRY???

Project: Family of office supplies using a brand as aesthetic basis.
Chosen brand: Papier (I am not getting paid this is just a school project)
First item: Tape Dispenser
The stages of Design:
1. A lot of iteration using the lotus-SCAMPER method, heuristics, or chaos!
2. Some chaotic refinements: defining volumes and adding notes, material ideas!
3. More refinement and selection of finalized concepts: cleaning up favored concepts, adding colour, rendering volumes!
4. Modeling CAD
Modeling helps you iron out flaws so to speak, what is possible and what isn’t. Plus you can now print and have a physical means to see! :D
Rest in follow up—

idk theres something about makotos overarching character arc being that he basically decided to devote his whole self into doing something he loves (being an idol and being part of trickstar) and sticking with it even when it consistently drags him outside of his comfort zone
parallels with his modelling career where he was also repeatedly pulled outside of his comfort zone, but in ways where he was being taken advantage of, where it was done to the detriment of his own self, something he wished he could escape from but circumstances prevented him from doing so until he reached a breaking point and physically could not continue anymore.
now he's constantly being pushed to do things like take charge, assert himself, and gain self-confidence, even when he doesn't quite feel comfortable in doing so. he fights back when he doesn't think he's being valued as a human being with his own desires and wants. every time he's pushed out of his comfort zone, it's for his own benefit - and even if it isn't, he finds a way to put a positive spin on it. and most importantly (to me anyways), he does this all while pursuing his dream of becoming an idol, something that doesn't come as naturally to him as modelling did, something he still feels inadequate about and is unsure he even has the talent for. but he works his ass off to be an idol despite the fact that he can quit anytime BECAUSE he loves the new path he's chosen so much

It’s like VS is being purposely spiteful & petty just because they rightfully got called out 😭 it’s so pathetic to see. Only thing being affected is their own sales so ok VS go off I guess
I feel like it wasn’t VS that was the only problem, it was the fashion industry as a whole but VS took the fall for it. The entire fashion industry in the 2000s and 2010s was skinny white models. Watch any major fashion brand show, ALL the iconic 2000s Versace shows and D&G, Prada all of them! None of them were inclusive! In fact, VS was hiring the curvier commercial girls (“curvy” in the model sense lmao) in the 2000s more than any other brand (nothing to show off about but it’s something lmao) but VS took the fall for the shortcomings of the entire fashion and modelling industry as a whole.
The super disgusting thing that VS did which was so fucking ridiculous was their ceo Ed Razek said that trans people shouldn’t be in the fashion show bc it’s a “male fantasy” LIKE???? Who let him say that 😭😭😭 how out of touch can you be?? But I don’t think VS as a whole should’ve been cancelled bc of what that one weirdo said. He rightfully “stepped down” (got fired) but he fucked up the brand for everyone.
Now VS has for like the past 5-6 years been working with amazing trans models like Valentina Sampaio whom I am a huge fan of for years! And they’ve made themselves as inclusive as any other fashion brand is rn. But for some reason they’ve rebranded into bland beige bullshit which is what I hate. Where is the pink and the glamour and the WINGS??? I was so sad when they removed all their fashion show wings from their stores 😭😭 I remember becoming a VS fan in 2017 and I went into the store on Bond Street and I saw so many gorgeous wings in person including Karlie Kloss dream angels wings from 2014 and Doutzen Kroes whole outfit from silver screen angels 2012 😭😭 that’s the vibe I wanted! They can be inclusive and still do that?! Like it’s not just skinny models who can wear wings and pink and glamorous 🥺🥺 it’s very sad actually.
All I want is a glitter runway, models of all shapes and colours, trans models ALL looking pretty and hot in WINGS and pretty lingerie! Not the dumpster fire they presented today lmao.
