That’s the one that was supposed to be The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, (probably) not #5.

It's sad to see how BTS stuff for small/mid budget period pieces from like the 1990s go into such detail on the costumes and accessories..and now a lot of stuff looks like Party City Halloween costumes 😬

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds fascinating! Do you have a link to the costume designer talking about changes in the industry?

[(Anonymous)]

This is sad because while I'm not very knowledgeable about costume design or historical costumes, I love media with a beautiful wardrobe and attention to detail so much.

[(Anonymous)]

BBC shows are fantastic for good costuming, even relatively low budget ones, because they have access to the BBC's enormous wardrobe department.

But a lot of it recently is a lack of budget spent on "real life" things like sets and costuming and hair, assuming that they can fix it with CGI or making things darker. Wardrobe, set building and hair/make up is unionised, CGI is (mostly) not (yet).

OP to secret maker

Thanks for turning my comment into a secret!

Video games have some of the best soundtracks ever. I'm a huge fan of music from games I haven't even played as well as music from games I really like.

I've always felt it was the fans projecting their feelings onto Taylor.

THIS
This thing is q anon levels of delusional and I still regularly see it.
I wish people would spend their energy upholding actual queer artists

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand the point of it. I agree with what you said about not trying to out celebrities who haven't come out.

[(Anonymous)]

I think on some level it's a subset of queer fans who identify with her songs, but instead of taking it as the perfectly fine self-projection onto her work that it is, they instead argue that this means she's secretly queer? Which is nonsense because an artist doesn't have to be the same as you, or have the same life for you to find meaning or identity in the music. It's kind of the point that music can reach all of us regardless of background and that's the beauty of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I have zero investment in Taylor Swift but not gonna lie, if it turned out she was some flavour of queer and everything we know about her is just a performative cis het show she's putting on for the sake of her career - that's a level of ruthlessness I could totally respect. Obviously it would be utterly shitty if she was made/felt pressured to be in the closet, but if it was her own decision she was at peace with because she cared more about business than (romantic) love? Heck yeah.

I swear so many of the people saying "cringe culture is dead" are quietly adding "except when I'm the one cringing, of course" and not even considering whether maybe that's missing the entire point.

For me personally the line is how much of the character's appearance is "the iconic outfit" vs "the body of the being wearing the outfit"

A character whose iconic image is "girl in a bikini" (e.g. Quiet from MGS) is going to be 90% "looking like the girl" and 10% "the recognizable bikini" where as a character whose iconic image is "girl in suit of armor" (e.g. Saber from Fate/Stay Night) is going to be 90% "the recognizable suit of armor" and 10% "the wearer's body". Same with male characters like 90% of cosplaying Zangief from Street Fighter is "literally being a big ass shirtless man" whereas cosplaying Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat is 90% outfit. It doesn't make Zangief less iconic but the imagery relies more heavily upon the body characteristics of the person so if those don't match up it's just kinda wrong-er to me than if idk, Sub-Zero is a 5ft 50 year old woman in his iconic suit and mask. Nothing to do with how attractive the people are

It gets muddy in the middle but the extreme ends are v clear
