Y’all look at these sweaters I found in our attic

I don’t know which I like more, the two-sided pastel clowncore sweater or The Most 80′s Thing I Have Ever Seen

#Knitting #Fibrecraft #For the record I had to throw these out #Mainly because we do have mice in our walls/attic so. Like these weren't in bad condition or anything and I couldn't spot mouse shit on them #But for hygiene reasons I just. No. Absolutely not. Not even worth donating (also there's no way anybody would've wanted these)#(Maybe in America someone would've killed a man for these but not here. Obnoxious retro stuff isn't popular as far as I know)#(But hey that's why I'm documenting these here so that if anybody wants some Hashtag Inspo for a knitting project- here u go)

Vincent Brooks headcanons anyone?

Loves animals. Would probably like to have a cat someday, but at the same time, he's afraid of the responsibilities and thinks he would be a bad owner. Same with children. Is probably good with them, but doesn't want to raise one because he feels he would be a bad father.

Wanted to be a therapist/animal caretaker at one point, then became a tech engineer for some reason.

Gets pretty sensitive at emotional movies and romance stories (because they remind him of Katherine) and any animal/child dying. Would probably snap at whoever would harm them. Wouldn't be able to handle any cheating story.

Probably likes mysteries and puzzle games, seeing that he's good at solving puzzles and coming up with techniques. Probably prefers retro games to modern gaming. Same with movies and music probably.

For movies/tv/books, Vincent probably likes drama and coming of age stories. Especially ones where characters make mistakes so like Breaking Bad and Scott Pilgrim. Plus if they grow from them. Also some science fiction films like Star Wars, Star Trek, Interstellar.

Dislikes showing off his talent for the most part, like singing and dancing. He feels too insecure.

A bit afraid of PDA, which is why he doesn't show much affection to Katherine and gives her a shy kiss in the true ending.

I don't think he hugs people much, but if he does, they're probably darn good hugs. If he saw one of his friends crying, he'd probably hug them.

Got bullied in his childhood. Which is partly why he blocked out memories from his school days.

Was a fairly obedient, cautious kid who was probably often peer pressured by the more adventurous Orlando.

Dislikes thrills.

Probably grew up spoiled, which explains his immature behavior in the game.

Probably majorly depressed/su!c!dal after the cheating incident and would do anything to atone for it.

Sleeps a lot, even at work.

Often drinks until he vomits, passes out. Sometimes drinks the hard stuff like whiskey.

Smoked weed at one point and then switched to cigarettes.

Deals with roaches, ants, spiders and rats a lot. Which is terrible for him because he's afraid of them.

Sometimes is a bad cook

Misses hygiene days sometimes.

Got evicted from many apartments due to lifestyle habits

Wrecked cars a lot due to his scatter brain, which is why he doesn't currently have one.

Took weeks to think about because I was wondering what kind of music Vincent would be into. He doesn't strike me as much of a music person, although I can imagine he used to jam in nightclubs and discos back in his day. So he probably has a nostalgic fondness for anything electronic and disco. He still goes to nightclubs on occasion but doesn't jam as much. Probably also relaxes to downtempo and lofi.

That's all I have for now. I'll edit this if I have anymore. Does anyone else have anymore? Would love to discuss Vincent stuff.

I headcanon that while Thorne was in high school he worked at least one bad service job

Yes! As to how he got there, hmm. Maybe his father forced him due to his misbehaviour (although his mother wouldn't like the image of their elite family amongst the peasantry). Maybe Thorne wanted more cash for his Rampion fund as a teenager and a service job is what he managed to get. He probably charmed the interviewer into it. Let's say it was something like selling retro video games, where a person buys a copy rather than downloading it straight to their netscreen. He assumes he will be able to kick up his heels and play games all day while getting paid for it.

No. There's no playing. There's only endless dealing with customers. It's terribly boring and reaches the breaking point with the angry customers. But also, many cute girls walk in, and he develops a plan. He earns based on commission--the more sales, the more money.

The gamer girls and guys that come in aren't easy to convince, because they know their stuff. But some guys come in to learn how to play so they can impress girls. Thorne does not tell them that video games skills are step 80 of impressing girls, 1 being bodily hygiene. Instead he becomes the guru, the matchmaker, the game aficionado. Problem is: he's all talk. He sells game after game and tip after tip, and these boys keep coming back saying they aren't passing the levels and girls aren't more interested in them.

Then there's the girls that come in to buy games for their 'boyfriends.' They say it with a wink and bite of the lip, and Thorne plays along and along when the same girls return and return.

Then, inevitably, his apprentice boys and the flirty girls start to come at the same time. When the boys begin to lose faith in him, he calls over the girls, ask "is it attractive when a guy plays video games?" The girl smiles, bats his arm playfully, purring "there's nothing more hot." This renews the boys' faith, and they're soon back under his wing.

Until one day, a macho looking teen slaps a game down on the counter. "Is this one good?"

"Course," says Thorne, grabbing it to swipe it under the scanner. His arm is stopped.

"Hey. I didn't say I was buying it."

Thorne sighs. He's so close to his profit goal for today and this sale will close it. "Listen man,"--he gestures over to one his regular girls, who looked disinterested while one of his boys nervously attempts to make conversation--"see those two over there? By playing this game, he impressed her so much that she begged him to be her boyfriend. Wouldn't you like that?"

Macho turns flaming red. "I AM her boyfriend!"

He stomps over to the innocent nerd, nostrils flaring. Thorne chases after just in time to catch the punch in his fist, appealing, "dude, it was a misunderstanding!"

Macho grabs Thorne's wrist, bending the metal of his portwatch. "She's MY girl!"

Thorne's watch snaps and clatters to the ground. "That was MY watch!"

And because he's mad, Thorne punches him in the face.

Thorne is never hired for a service job again.

It's the Harry Osborn fashion post nobody asked for!

I'm no expert in menswear (all info + photo examples come from VintageDancer) so take this as speculation and feel free to correct any terminology. Still, I wanted to ramble about his interesting progression of clothes choices through the classic comics.

Ditko era (1965)

An outdated look even for the time: the bowtie, brown/grey color scheme, and wide high-waisted pants with a skinny belt are all kind of 1940s/50s things. Not to mention the hair.

It seems Ditko's only vision for Harry was Norman Junior. You know those eerie photos of politicians' families where the kids are dressed identically to their parents? Yeah.

Of course, once characterization catches up, there's a lot to be said about Harry's relationship with imagined "good old days" and his father's self-image.

Characterization catches up (1966)

John Romita is here and we get a flashback to baby Harry, who in contrast to his dad looks like an easter egg.

On a practical level, bright colors (1) draw attention to Harry as a new main character and (2) convey time passing. But it also fits with the reveal that he's a mostly sweet kid trying too hard to conform to an aggressively traditionalist role model.

I like that the bow tie sticks around. It has old-fashioned, dweeby connotations (as probably originally intended) but it also has appropriate oddball performer connotations.

Roomates era (1966-69)

Big checkered patterns, vests, and expanded colors; a showy take on the Ivy League 50s/60s style, unless I miss my guess. A bit more modern, but still in the realm of uptight dweeb. I love how Romita made him friendly without making him less weird.

It's a rather slow makeover from monochrome to bright and patterned. On a Watsonian level, it's fun to imagine that living away from his dad lets him gradually rediscover a colorful fashion sense.

The less formal at-home version of this look is a sweater or sweatervest with a collared shirt, a la baby Osborn.

The New Osborn Image (1969. nice)

Eventually both Harry and the editors get self conscious about keeping up with the times, and...

This is so charmingly "repressed young adult finally has their awkward rebellious self-discovery phase halfway through college" to me. Artists love to call back to this look because lol, retro facial hair, but I think its status as a bona fide short-lived Embarrassing Phase makes it sacred.

The New(er) Osborn Image (1970-72)

Exploratory phase over, his new look is something between Mod and Peacock Revolution: long coats, double-breasted tailored jackets, colorful turtlenecks, neckerchiefs instead of ties.

In my totally unbiased opinion this is the pinnacle of Harry costuming. He's found a public-facing sense of style that's fun. It's formal, but not just in a Norman-impressing way—he got here via personal experimentation and peer inspiration. It's the most joyful sartorial self-expression he ever seems to get.

Sure hope he's not about to experience personal-identity-shattering amounts of stress and tragedy!

spice up your mental breakdown by raiding your father's closet (1973)

At least, I think that's Ross Andru's angle. Harry moves back into his dad's townhouse and his clothes are uncharacteristically oversized and formless.

Drop the metaphor, fill your father's shoes for real. The fur-lined coat + leather gloves in particular strike me as unnaturally Normanesque. Earlier periods illustrated his Garbage Mental Health Hygiene with untucked shirts and unfastened collars, though his hairdo is still perfectly in place because everyone knows it just grows in like that.

I think the shirt he's committed in is the first short-sleeved shirt we ever see him wear. Probably too early in history for him to be given a pair of those grippy socks.

back to basics/dadclothes (1975-on)

Harry comes back in ASM 151 with two outfits: a grey suit and tie and a plaid short sleeved shirt with jeans. This split between utilitarian business clothes/simple comfort clothes sticks around into Buscema and JMD's 90s run.

This was probably meant to signal that he's more "grown up" and stable, but after everything else it just feels like a very lonely return to form and a widening fracture between public presentation and personal identity—this time self-enforced.

JMD uses the goblin costume to talk about Harry's struggles with self-image and emotional compartmentalization, but I think it works because that theme was already there in a less dramatic way. Particularly once the colors went back in the closet.

The thing about toxic performative masculinity is that it hates to admit that it's just a performance. Showy fashion can be attractive to people who've been told they flunk out of gender for physical or mental reasons because it's entirely performance (hence the art of drag) (and hence transmascs who joke they dress like silver age Harry). Also, I think it's just a fun personality trait for him to enjoy bright and meticulous dress, dangit.

#romita fashion plate #harry osborn #long post #this has been in my drafts for so long and I finally got around to compiling the image examples #clothes make the man one might say

Summary of a few Discord aesthetic goals I wrote today

(Sorry, I can't find the demon / devil academic lady's source despite using Yandex reverse image search and trying throughout Instagram, so when you find it please let me know to credit the artist properly here...)

Hy nerts, as I went on to vibe and write much goals in my favourite Discord server instance. Wanted to highlight some more things from there that I would like to remember better.

Among them, a few Halloween costume ideas for the next three years, a few haircut choices and some career goals (still to be fully written out btw).

Halloween & furry matters

The header picture is the costume suggestion I would prefer for Halloween 2024 (or possibly 2023's if my lively things go this fast).

Something akin to this moth fursuit would be great for my very own fursuit design. And would likely be used from 2025 onwards.

Target haircuts and aesthetic wardrobe hauls

This type of short haircut where we trim much front and back hair to 3 and leave some longer section that doesn't bother too much onto the front would be epic for 2023.

As for 2025 onwards, I feel this type of longer hairstyle and look would suit me better as I get to improve my makeup, bodily + facial hygiene & social skills to a decent enough degree.

Ideal / desired career details

As for my preferred career, I feel like that starting as a bookstore / public library clerk, creative + technical writer / blogger or as a IT tech support backend clerk... or anything close enough to these thesis' of data processing work would be best for my working life entry.

After that I feel like being a software + hardware engineer / developer + academical historian / philosopher / mathematician / linguist... would be my best middle-scale long-term. Being the closest to a computer job person or consultant of decades and centuries past that I can muster without losing much autonomy or purpose.

Beyond that, I will see what else I want to do / learn / make, but be aware I probably won't be completely quiet during the "retirement" phase? After all, as I am a very creative and technical INTJ who wants to customize almost everything I come to be aware of, that should give you major hints as to what type of lifespan I seek to attain.

Thanks for caring about my ramblings btw, giving you a poll as to suggest me a actual aesthetic to prioritize more (will depend of percentages and my whims too but feel free to suggest me more than meets the seer's eye. :-) )

#maskoch #halloween #lighter spooky funk tones #actually autistic #manifestation #yes the polls do contain hints for whatever theme pack I am trying to develop for a couple of parallel pages/blogs #helluva boss is my favourite cosmical motorcycle #fallen angels & celestials & biblical angelic beings feel on-par with their evil counterparts in the greater scheme of things #I really should make & publish more video content

RMC is a fantastic YouTube channel that covers various retro computers and gaming devices, that people of a certain age can't help but be drawn in by.

I certainly remember growing up having lots of time, but no money to obtain all the magical computers and dazzling games I'd see advertised in magazines.

One of the wonderful things about growing up is finally gaining the means to purchase or at least get near to these childhood objects of desire.

Neil of RMC has opened a technology museum in the UK which gives everyone a chance to get hands on with a wide range of exotic technologies and games.

I had the pleasure of visiting recently, which was a decidedly surreal experience after watching the Cave's construction over the past few years.

Neil and all the volunteers have done a fabulous job in creating and running a fantastic interactive museum. Everything is in extremely clean, solid and usable condition. I've certainly been to a few more grubby technology meets over the years, but in the Cave a lot of effort has gone into making sure everything is clean and hygienic for visitors.

If you live in or near the south west of England I'd very much recommend booking a session to enjoy for yourself first hand.

As therapists, we are trained to handle all kinds of patients and their various problems. We are equipped with techniques to help them through their struggles and guide them towards a better mental state. However, there is one thing that can make our job unbearable - corduroy.

Yes, you read that right. Corduroy, the fabric often associated with warm coziness and retro fashion, is the bane of our existence as demon therapists. Why, you may ask? Well, let me tell you.

Firstly, corduroy is extremely uncomfortable to sit on for extended periods of time. As therapists, we spend most of our day sitting in chairs, listening to our patients. With corduroy, every movement causes a scratchy, almost painful sensation against our skin. This can be quite distracting and makes it difficult to focus on our patients' needs.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. As demons, we are highly sensitive to textures and sensations. Corduroy, with its ridges and grooves, can trigger a heightened sense of touch and cause us extreme discomfort. It can even bring on painful flashbacks to our days in the fiery pits of hell, where we were forced to endure constant torture and torment. Needless to say, it's not ideal for creating a safe and calming environment for our patients.

On top of that, corduroy has a tendency to make a lot of noise when it rubs against itself or other materials. This can be quite distracting for both us and our patients, and can even disrupt the therapeutic process. We demons have an already tough job of suppressing our instinctual urges to cause chaos and destruction - the last thing we need is a fabric that adds to the chaos.

Moreover, corduroy is notoriously difficult to clean. As therapists, we want our offices to be clean and presentable for our patients. But with corduroy, it's a constant battle to keep it free from lint, hair, and other debris. This not only adds to our stress levels but also makes our patients feel uncomfortable and possibly even question our hygiene practices.

In a profession where we are supposed to create a calm and soothing atmosphere for our patients, corduroy presents an insurmountable challenge. It's a constant reminder of our demonic nature and can even hinder the progress of our patients' therapy. So, if you happen to visit a demon therapist and notice that their office is corduroy-free, now you know why.

Efficiency and Style: Modern Portable Sinks for Trendy Salons

Modern salons are constantly evolving to meet the expectations of their clientele, and one essential addition that combines both efficiency and style is the modern portable sink for salon use. These innovative portable sinks have become a staple in trendy salons, offering a range of benefits that go beyond the traditional salon experience.

Sleek Design and Aesthetic Appeal

Modern portable sinks for salons are designed with aesthetics in mind. They come in a variety of stylish finishes and sleek shapes that can seamlessly blend with the salon's interior design. Whether your salon has a contemporary, minimalist, or retro theme, you can find a portable sink that complements the overall look and enhances the visual appeal of the space. These sinks are not just functional; they are also a design statement.

Portability and Flexibility

The portability of these sinks is a game-changer for salons. Unlike traditional fixed sinks, portable sinks can be placed wherever they are needed most. This flexibility allows salon owners to optimize their workspace, create efficient workstations, and accommodate changing client needs. Whether you're rearranging your salon layout or setting up a pop-up station for a special event, portable sinks offer unmatched versatility.

Effortless Hygiene

Hygiene is paramount in salons, and modern portable sinks are designed to make maintaining cleanliness a breeze. Equipped with touchless sensor faucets, these sinks minimize contact, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Some models even feature built-in soap dispensers and paper towel holders, ensuring that both clients and stylists can easily access the essentials for proper handwashing and sanitation.

Water Efficiency

Efficiency isn't just about space and time; it's also about resource management. Modern portable sinks are designed to be water-efficient. They use sensors to control water flow, preventing wastage. This not only conserves water but also helps salon owners save on utility costs. It's a win-win for both sustainability-conscious salons and their bottom line.

Client Convenience

Trendy salons prioritize the comfort and convenience of their clients. Portable sinks play a significant role in enhancing the client experience. Clients no longer need to leave their styling chairs to wash their hair or have their hands cleaned. With portable sinks strategically placed throughout the salon, clients can enjoy uninterrupted service without the need to move around, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable visit.

Enhancing the Salon Experience

Ultimately, modern portable sinks for salons contribute to enhancing the overall salon experience. They streamline processes, create a more hygienic environment, and add a touch of style to the salon's ambiance. When clients walk into a salon with well-designed and efficiently placed portable sinks, they immediately sense a higher level of professionalism and commitment to their comfort.
