fic where Bitty is buzzing around helping everyone get dressed for Lardo’s art show, and redoes so many poorly-knotted ties that he forgets when he gets to Jack that Jack has been putting on ties since he was three

and realizes halfway through doing up Jack’s tie that they’re really very close to each other

and doesn’t move away when he finishes with the tie

adjusts Jack’s collar a bit, smooths his hand across his shirt

looks up at his face and says, “you know, Jack… you clean up really nice”

waits a moment, doesn’t get a response

smiles, pats Jack’s chest, and moves on to the frogs

and Jack spends the rest of the night wishing he’d done something

Corsets in cosplay are awesome, so we wanted to make a crash course tutorial!  There’s several reasons you may want to incorporate a corset or waist cincher (otherwise known as an underbust corset) into your next costume:

  • They help keep fitted bodices from buckling or wrinkling
  • They’re prevalent throughout much of history, and so often necessary when cosplaying certain characters
  • Costumes from different eras require different silhouettes, which historically accurate corsets can help achieve.
  • Many modern-era characters wear them (Mami, Elizabeth, etc)
  • They’re flattering!  Corsets are designed to reduce the waist and support the bust, and for anyone not gifted with a natural hourglass figure, they’re a great cheat.

(Note: Corsetry construction is very personal and many people have different methods of construction. This is how I make all our corsets; however there’s many other “right” ways of doing it. If you’re interested in more info check out foundationsrevealed.com)     To get started, you’ll need the following:

I’m half dead because I’ve been literally drawing these for the whole day but oH WELL it was worth it;)

Drawing third-year first-years is always fun. Noya and Tanaka are just checking on their not-so-longer kouhais and discover some..things.

The worst of all possible things that could happen would be to lose that language [that black people love so much]. There are certain things I cannot say without recourse to my language. It’s terrible to think that a child with five different present tenses comes to school to be faced with those books that are less than his own language. And then to be told things about his language, which is him, that are sometimes permanently damaging… This is a really cruel fallout of racism. I know the Standard English. I want to use it to help restore the other language, the lingua franca. 1. He ø runnin. Standard American English (SAE )= He is running. 2. He be runnin. SAE = He is usually running or He will/would be running. 3. He be steady runnin. SAE = He is usually running in an intensive, sustained manner, or He will/would be running in an intensive, sustained manner. 4. He(’s) been/bin runnin. SAE He has been running–at some earlier point, but probably not now. Other examples: I been knowing her. SAE = I have known her. About eleven o’clock he been eating. SAE = … he was eating. 5. He BEEN/BIN runnin’. SAE = He has been running for a long time, and still is. -This is a use of the African American English (AAE) stressed been/remote BIN.

My mother Toni Morrison on AAVE (via howtobeterrell)

this is for whoever was telling me that AAVE isn’t a real thing… UGH

Note how precise each AAVE phrase is. 

Cries from perfection

For anyone who thinks aave is just slang. -Morgan

(via pocproblems) It’s rules to this shit. and I can always tell when it’s a white person being racist and obnoxious, cause they don’t know the grammar!

An important aspect of writing characters of different cultural backgrounds than yours - don’t fall into the trap of using incorrect and insulting stereotypes.

Keep an eye out for how many times a black American character says something like “he be at the grocery store” to wrongly indicate that he is there now, and not showing that he is there often, such as in the case of being an employee.
