god's problem child

Rain: starts

first you gotta do the build up and then the actual fucking and the fucking is pretty easy but you never know how long the fucking should last, and eventually you're like "okay I'm tired of this" so the characters cum, but you're not done yet because you can't just end it at "he fucking nutted everywhere" you gotta keep going, and the characters have to chat a little or cry or think about how horrible they are or something and then you kinda don't know when to end that either so now you're 2k words in and you might have put too much self hatred and not enough sucking dick. so you wrap it up, and think well it's done now.

70s disco loudly playing in the background

Thank you, this is a deliberate affectation for some of my outfits, so I never mind the comparison here.

The show was the kick in the butt I needed to start dialing in the 1940s silhouette - I was previously half-assing it with mostly modern pieces, but never quite satisfied. I was hesitant to commit to high waisted trousers with wide legs and pleats, because modern cut pleated trousers look *awful* on me. But the vintage style high waist + short waistcoat make a huge difference! *And* it all lessens my hips dysphoria!

The other style coincidence is my hair and beard have been similar to his since years before the show, so the fashion inspiration really has been to 1) commit to the silhouette I love and 2) try out some new colors I was previously avoiding because I didn't think they would look good on me (reds and golds).

Siegfried is a good example of how I roll fandom fixations into my overall style. One of my outfits for funsies is ~90% screen-accurate, but my closet has much more variety. My study is very evocative of his with lots of All Creatures easter eggs, but my fingerprints are nonetheless all over the place.

My first job (2008) was at a Men’s Wearhouse (formal/business dress clothing store) and the amount of guys who would INSIST on yanking their pants down until they looked like saggy diapers was baffling.

Hoist that back up!

More high-waisted propaganda:

when you wear them with suspenders (best method imo), that means the waistband can be much looser, which is very comfortable + forgiving if you have regular weight fluctuations that keep you between sizes

high-waisted dress trousers tend to have other cool details, such as a fishtail back or side waistband adjusters; more casual shorts and trousers could have a ghurka waistband; and even denim can have neat details

your ass crack will be completely covered when you bend down

your leggies will look longer and more elegant

you have more room in the crotch and pockets

wide legs are cooler in the heat

imo, it's a Look that is great for a wide variety of body types

High-waisted doesn't have to mean 1940s. I've seen "90s cut" jeans return (Old Navy has a bunch), classic workwear features high-waisted denim (Bronson is a budget choice here), and brands like Spier & Mackay have a modern take on them, if you prefer a slimmer leg.
