So ready for The Stormlord, The Traveler, and an angry underwater eyeball to team up and save their kidnapped followers. The buddy roadtrip comedy we all deserve.
AO3 updated their filters and I’m so shook???
I love this so fucking much, you have no idea. Thank you, AO3. This made my day way better, and my life so much easier.
hey friends, if you care about cultural appropriation and the damage it causes, please check out this awesome project!
in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). they’ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community.
it’s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated. it’s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits.
please support bihor couture, if not by ordering one of their products, then by spreading the news around. it’s really awesome to see a small community fight back against cultural appropriation so successfully. i hope they carry on for a long time!
Looks a lot like some traditional Slovakian stuff too. That stuff is cool – get it cheaper from the community!
Article 13 got approved and that means the internet will be censored for all countries under the EU. If that happens, it’s likely bloggers from affected countries cannot post content anymore. I wouldn’t be able to post gifs, edits, icons, anything anymore. Even adding links to posts could cost money. You can get more information here and here or simply using google to find information from a source you trust. Please sign the petition here and here (everyone can sign this one apparently) to prevent this from happening. I don’t want to lose my blog.
Article 13 didn’t get approved yet. It’s voted on tomorrow, July 5. Signing a change.org petition won’t do much. What you have to do is go to saveyourinternet.eu, and from there e-mail/phone/tweet your country’s representatives in the European Parliament and ask them to vote against it tomorrow.
naruto is literally a cautionary tale about staying in the closet cause if his dumbass had just admitted he was head over heels for sasuke the two of them could have left the village and backpacked across the globe while being the hottest literal power couple in all the lands but instead he married the first girl who liked him and got a job in HR he’s not qualified for and a cats-in-the-cradle ass son who’s flunking for attention because dad’s never home and if that doesn’t inspire you to take the plunge and be the gayest bitch you can be I don’t know what will
