This 1960s children's toy named Gaylord the dog is literally the most depressing, miserable looking creature I have ever seen just fucking look at it
I wanna hear these Opinions on steampunk color palettes, if you’re willing.
tbh “the Victorians did not go to the trouble of inventing aniline dyes so that we could wear neutrals” mostly covers it?
they went to a lot of effort to bring affordable screaming bright fuchsias and acid greens into the world, and we should honor their tacky, tacky choices.
I FOUND THE PHOTO OF WHEN THE BURGER KING CLOWN CAUGHT MY HAIR ON FIRE AT MY FOURTH BIRTHDAY, I FINALLY HAVE THE PROOF IT HAPPENED!

{So @ask-cosplay-nyo-lithuania made this yesterday for my birthday becuase I have become UnderTale trash. Thank you dear friend. Thank you.}
“I definitely didn’t want to root [Corpse Bride] in a specific place, and wasn’t really interested in what real ethnic origins of the tale were, because the thing that got me was the fable aspect of it”⁹.
Jewish legends are, well, legendary. They are filled with mystery, magic, fascinating creatures, wild adventures, and dazzling heroes. But if you ask most people, even most Jews, they may be largely unfamiliar with Jewish folktales outside of the Bible or Fiddler on the Roof. That is until you unravel the way in which Jewish folklore has been commodified and removed from its Jewish roots in order to be suitable for a non-Jewish audience.
This phenomenon is not new and not singular to Jews–not in the slightest. Cultural stories, and so much more, are routinely co-opted and commodified, erasing the culture, religion, and heritage of the original storytellers in order to make the story palatable for audiences outside of the original group. Sometimes so egregiously or viciously that it is largely unrecognizable to those who aren’t intimately familiar enough to spot it.
One such story is, allegedly, The Corpse Bride.
However, Tim Burton would convince you that the story he heard of (allegedly from within Lilith’s Cave) isn’t actually Jewish–in fact, he doesn't even know the origin. In their 2018 YouTube video, Jewish Erasure in Tim Burton Films, channel The Princess and the Scrivener plays a clip of Burton stating, “Joe had heard a little story, like a paragraph, which was an excerpt from an old fable–I don’t even know from what country it came, my recollection is that it didn’t have a specific place of origin. [I] Wasn't really interested in what the real ethnic origins of the tale were, because the thing that got me was the fable aspect of it”⁹.

It's okay. I don't really get a lot of ic stuff, let alone ooc stuff. Most of the time I'm okay with that, but tonight I feel very alone unwanted. I just feel like I shouldn't even cosplay because that takes time away from important things like cleaning because that's all my mom seems to care that I do.
sometimes i marvel at the fact that people actually tell me they’re intimidated by me or scared of me when i am??? the embodiment of this gif???? thats literally all i am
why afraid
