the escapism tango

Oh man I can't believe I forgot. You know that post that was like "tell me what clothes you've bought because of a character" or whatever. I searched for ages to find an adequate white cable knit sweater because of Ransom's in knives out.

A belly can be a "slut waist" too. If you're not a fearful little freak

i think the difference between sex and gender as highlighted in phm is fascinating. gender as a concept is completely absent in eridian culture. sex is something rocky definitely had with that earth creature
