I'm seeing a lot of people say that punk fashion is expensive and inaccessible, which is very wrong. here is a list of some ways you can make punk fashion easier, cheaper and more accessible for you, since that's... kinda the whole point.

others are encouraged to add onto this!! (just don't recommend corporations like amazon. not cool.)

1. patches!! you don't need to buy them. DIY patches are not ugly or boring. in fact, they are encouraged here!! DIY, in my opinion, is always the best thing to do when it is an option and is safe to do so.

2. speaking of DIY, spikes!! you can make them!!

cut the top and bottom off of an empty can. cut down the middle of the cylinder and flatten it, so it's just a flat rectangle of metal.

cut out a shape that is kind of a third of a circle, but around 3/4 of the curved edge is taken up by triangle shapes. (I'm not very good at describing, so here's a badly drawn picture)

roll it into a cone, leaving the 4 triangles sticking out at the bottom. this bit is optional, but you can fill it with hot glue to make it more sturdy, just be careful touching the hot metal. I tend to hold the cone by one of the triangles with a bit of fabric wrapped around my fingers for this bit. cut 4 small holes in your fabric in this kind of shape:

and put the spiky bits of triangle through the holes. fold the triangles in on themselves to secure the spike in place. boom. spike obtained. this is one I made and attached to a little piece of fabric to test this method out:

3. battle vests!! (like the base jackets). the best places to buy these are charity shops and second hand websites in my opinion, but if anyone else knows any better options, please reblog with those!!

a good trick I find works well on eBay is to filter search results to your country (or state? can you do that in the US? idk) so that a: fast delivery because local, and b: all the sellers of everything that shows up are in YOUR TIME ZONE.

why is this important? when people sell something for really cheap, it goes FAST. check eBay at like, 2am or something. all the scalpers in your area are asleep. grab the cheap stuff while they can't.

4. sewing!! want patches, but can't sew for whatever reason? I've heard of a lot of people with joint conditions like arthritis complain about the inaccessibility of patch stuff, and that does sound extremely annoying, however:

safety pins!! while they are still a little fiddly, they're much less work so you don't have to fiddle about for long. if you can, you could even ask a friend to help, since it doesn't take long at all I'm sure someone will be willing to help out!! (I know I would, but that's just me, and I love this kind of thing). safety pins on clothes are also widely considered to be a symbol of solidarity, so if anything, you're adding some extra love and meaning to your patch pants/battle jacket.

if that's still too fiddly, fabric glue is always an option. unfortunately this means you won't be able to remove/reposition patches, at least without leaving a massive patch of residue, but if you're ok with that then fabric glue is probably your best bet.

for people who prefer sewing: as for where to get the thread, I've heard a lot of people recommending dental floss, as it's apparently much cheaper and works just as well. I haven't tried this myself so can't confirm that, but I thought I'd share it regardless.

5. where to get fabric!! old clothes. rip em up. you don't need any kind of fancy fabric from the craft store. my patches are made of old jeans that I grew out of.

don't have any old clothes and you don't want to waste any good ones? I'm not sure about other countries, but in the UK, as long as you're not on private property (trespassing), dumpster diving is perfectly legal.

I definitely ;) do NOT encourage ;) trespassing rich people's land ;) to steal from their dumpsters ;)

or tbh it doesn't matter too much how rich the person is, since it's all going to landfill anyway. if it's in the bin, it's free game, but you didn't hear that from me. ;)

please add onto this where you can!! and if I missed something or got anything wrong, add that on too!!

Well then I guess according to you Im dense because I don't understand why it is confusing that I want it to be known my account is a safe space when reblogging a post made by a terf. Maybe Im just not far down the rabbit hole cause I have no idea why I would get cancelled for that or why you feel the need to point it out. I wouldn't say I'm confused but I do find it questionable that you feel the need to point this out or call me dense, while I won't argue with that, I don't understand why it matters to you.

Basically, some honesty behind your intentions would be nice. Even though I can guess and assume it comes from you wanting to pick a fight, I'd like to start trying to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.

We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.

There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.

While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.

Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.

Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.

I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.

MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.

You can but to purposely choose only the bad examples and use that as a reason for your trans hate is so insanely stupid

holy shit terfs are so fucking stupid you just invalidated and erased the trauma of so many people. Women are not incapable of heinous actions, and are we going to ignore the fact that that also ties into patriarchal views? There's no feminism you're just radically stupid.

Sorry but if your knee-jerk response to a woman saying something that makes you angry is that you want to punch her in the face, hit her with a baseball bat, tell her to kill herself, verbally abuse her on the internet, or r*pe her…

You’re not a woman.

Love how they had to say "transgender opponent" because that matters so much because obviously men are just stronger than women a woman could never hurt another woman

im being sarcastic.

Fuck it.

I don't even have the strength to comment on this.

I'm 100% done with this shit.

support your SISTERs, not just your CISters.

My womanhood is not threatened by a trans woman claiming hers ♥

Digital illustration of a trans woman sitting on a teal cushioned chair. There are various trans patches sewed at the base of the chair and fireflies. Text reads, 'my womanhood is not threatened by a trans woman claiming hers.'

in the photos you just shared. erasure, is the goal for terfs.

She was raped ⠀ ⠀ He raped her.

THIS OH MY GOD (ignoring all the terf bullshit tags)

its sad that this is considered 'radical' when its really not

Women don't do makeup, wear skimpy uncomfortable clothing, break their skin barrier with a bunch of useless "skincare products", shave daily, go under the knife, suffer eating disorders and spend an insane amount of money on beauty enhancements for men. They do it for themselves. But the part of themselves that they're doing it for, is the part that grew up in a patriarchal society which tells them that their natural self isn't enough, that makes them embarrassed to show their unaltered appearance to the public, that tells them they're not woman enough if they're not "feminine". They do it for themselves because they've internalized the man made insecurities that have been pushed on them since birth. "I'd do this even if men didn't exist", we say, but that's only true for the society that we are in. If men were to have never existed, we wouldn't feel the need to go to such extremes for beauty in the first place.

completely disagree with terf and everything it stands for but I believe in this

its so easy to seek out bad voices and name them. I could do so with literally any group, but you think it's fine to stereotype and attempt to erase a group because of this? sound familiar?

I thought I was fine

I don't think I am or ever was I don't wanna be 'cringy' but nvm fuck cringe culture idgaf im tired of having to write a name that isn't mine on every school worksheet or project when I have to fill out my pronouns and put she/her every time my friend has to call me by that name that isn't mine when I make a new friend but they aren't truly friends with ME. when I feel embarrassed at the thought of giving a close one my true name "they can just keep calling me that." but im tired

CREATIVE OSC SHIPNAMES

It makes me angry how uncreative u guys are with the algebralien ship names like bruh/lh/nsrs u have 4 x 2, but instead of calling it EIGHT ur calling it... 42.

edit: "but there's already a character called 8!!" that was an example.. no need to get so peeved. There are so many options it's not like im trying to say that's the only correct one. I see where you guys are coming from but I don't appreciate needless nitpicking also that logic could literally apply to ANY one ship. I don't see anybody saying "bbbbbut 15/14/12/etc is already a character!!! What are you going to call it now? Because I guarantee you most solutions you come up with can apply to the one above

Things coiny did for pin:

1. Dug to the centre of the earth for her

2. Went to hell and back for her. Literally and figuratively

3. Listened to her when nobody else did

4. Cared about her when nobody else did.

5. He was the ONLY one who showed how upset he was when Pin was turning inanimate. Nobody else cared.

6. Defended her when everyone was hating on her and bullying her

7. Hindered the challenge because he didn't want to throw tiny pin off the cliff to get Fries

8. Secretly botched the spinning wheel for Pin so that instead of getting 2763 days of pure torture she would get her face and body back with mechanical limbs

9. Brought extensions for her so she could move more freely and helped her crashout

10. Supported and helped her in every challenge after that

11. Left the team he was doing really really good in and who could've been a really good team with him (Fries and Pencil, which is insane coz Pencil doesn't usually team with guys/non-freesmarters, and Fries doesn't willingly stick to one team for more than an episode), because they wouldn't let Pin join

12. Talked to her when nobody else did and helped her get her revenge

13. Only one to see her side of the story

14. He did little details such as giving her a hat, carrying her up the water fountain while he swam with ONE HAND, the other hand even holding it outright so she wouldn't get affected by the water

15. Even though they had to be separated, and he said "may the best player win", he still cared for her the entire episode, and didn't kick her down the stairs.

16. He sacrificed immunity for her, something his competitive nature would've never done. He sacrificed immunity to save her because nobody else cared about her.

17. He kept on looking after Pin the whole time, asking her if she was okay ect. Even though they weren't allowed to be in a team

18. He broke the rules by treating Pin like they were in a team by helping her

What Pin did for Coiny:

1. Betrayed him

(Not hate towards Pin btw ppl are forgetting that they literally make up quickly and Pin changes a lot. This is a part of her character development. And it's also definitely the main reason she disliked BFDIA because she hurt the one who meant the most to her. Shes complex guys...)

(This is mainly just a Coiny appreciation post because even after all this she's his number 1 in bfb and tpot)

IT'S BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! I like her in bfdia not so much in tpot but her human ver is so fun to draw

I FEEL SO SEEN (okay im not a loser anymore, or at least I hope so, but retired loser!!)

Seconds before Zira absolutely flubs it (after hearing the words "i love you" coming from Aika even though she meant it in a friend way)

***

This is the only time Zira looks cool. I want athletic loser nerd representation so baaaad (because that was me growing up). I was bouncing around the idea of Zira being REALLY good at a sport but was struggling to find the right one. My gf suggested tennis and I loved the idea! She's the best at school but no one actually really cares smh. Her tennis racket doubles as a weapon for when she's gotta help Aika fight!

that world... GASP OWL HOUSE MOMENT ANIME WORLD WHERE ZIRA IS GONNA FLIP but soon realized its not that great

Absolutely loved the pilot! I think a fun aspect of this whole concept is the inherent fusion of American cartoons and anime, which means that a full series could potentially draw from the tropes of both. Are there any favorite tropes you'd like to do with these characters? Valentine's Day/White Day drama? A class festival, somehow? Everybody gets shrunk down to microscopic size and goes inside somebody's body? Body swap? Beach episode?

No particular episode tropes in mind but the characters all very heavily lean on anime tropes for their personalities! Aika and Eclipse especially since they’re from that world (or at least Eclipse acts like he does)

Aika’s has a lot of shonen protagonist tropes (being food motivated, a bit dense and socially inept etc.). Zira’s a bit more down to earth and meant to be the audience surrogate. But I mean she’s still the otaku trope for sure haha.

Definitely wanted to have those tropes to make it FEEL anime-ish despite the cartoonier style. That’s why it was important for me to get anime VAs hehe

YES THANK YOU

As much as I am LOVING all the love and support the new black magical girl pilot is getting, can we not use it to put down other magical girl shows?? Yeah more darker skinned/black rep in anime is important, but that doesn’t mean that any other magical girl shows with pale skinned characters are inherently bad???

And don’t call the characters in these other magical girl shows white when they literally take place in Japan.

“Oh I only mean poc. There’s no diversity.”

Yes diversity is important but like…

JAPANESE PPL ARE STILL POC!! ASIANS ARE POC!! Not every poc has darker skin tones and it’s extremely racist to assume otherwise.

Idk why tf you’d even say/believe something like that so proudly like omg that’s super racist what is wrong with yall??? We should be going after the racist white ppl in power right now, not after other fellow marginalized ppl. Get over yourselves.

Plus the creator of idwbamg is also literally half Japanese. She’s blasian. so not only are you being racist towards other Japanese ppl but to the creator of this pilot as well..and don’t even get me started on the internalized misogyny radiating off of these ppl using this pilot to put down other magical girl shows..I hate it here…

SUPER cool theory!! I agree with everything you said and even had the same ideas, just wanted to say though that star buns are totally possible with black curly hair! its so cool!! There's actually. this amazing black hair sculpting girl that has a popular video on doing that EXACT hair style Aika has, which I can't believe im only realizing now. I think they got inspiration from her!

Who is Aika Really?✨🌟✨

There's a lot to enjoy from @kianamaiart's animatic pilot, Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl. It subverts expectations while providing fun characters and a fun concept. Our story introduces us to an "ordinary" girl named, Aika spending her first day at high school. She makes a new friend with a lonely girl named, Zira and gets a perfect score on her first in-class assignment. It's not until she's met by her "magical best friend", Hoshi that she's reminded of a very important duty. A duty in which Aika wants no part in. It wouldn't be until lunch time that things REALLY start to go off the rails. A powerful young man announces himself as, Eclipse (or Moon Man, as Aika puts it) while smashing through the school walls demanding for The Star Guardian to reveal herself. Zira tries to protect her new friend, but Aika rushes in to save the day reluctantly revealing that she is in fact The Star Guardian and a magical girl. We've already established that Aika isn't normal, but is there something else about her?

She recently moved into a new town wanting a normal life. Hell, the school that she goes to is literally called, School McSchool Memorial School. If that isn't the most blandest name for a school, I don't know what is. She's also really eager to do normal things such as getting ready for class, eating lunch, meeting losers, and doing tests. Speaking of which, she certainly does have a somewhat high intelligence since she was the only one in class to get a perfect score. When Hoshi comes to confront her about trapping the little star in a box, Aika is very adamant on maintaining this normal life saying that she "needs this" and "whatever needs to be done can be handled by the others back home". Others? Who are these others?

I feel as if Aika may be something more than what we're led on to believe. I think she may not have come from Earth. Or maybe she's always been magical, but never went to a school because of this. Think about it! She learns Zira is a "loser" and she immediately says, "Wow! A real life high school loser!" which is odd because you'd think she'd already know what a loser is at her age. She doesn't eat normally by how she scarfed down her food during lunch, her high test scores, how she randomly tells the teacher she loves her, she has never experienced a fire drill, she introduces herself to Zira by saying "I'm a normal girl with average talent & absolutely no secrets", and her hairstyle. If you've noticed, Aika's hairstyle is different from every other character (at this moment). Her hair also compliments her companion, Hoshi. What if she comes from a place where everything and everyone has this star motif going on? What if she was an alien civilian who was told by Hoshi that she was magical and right after she trapped Hoshi in a box, she booked it to planet Earth in the most normal-looking place to rebelliously live the life she always wanted to live. I could be wrong of course, but that's just a theory. But now that evil is growing, Aika will have to save the world (and likely the universe) whether she likes it or not with new friends along the way!

sick of everything

Modern Punk Style

I need like, a new punk style. But suitable for modern times. Like sure, Doc Martens were great but now they're just flimsy and super expensive. Working class? yeah right. Leather jackets? Uh... not as affordable as they used to be. Basically the style has become capitalized and it's not accessible anymore. Which is why I wonder, how would punk look if it was? What are strong but cheap clothing products in todays times? good shoes? Common thrift store styles? Looks that go COMPLETELY against social norms, things that are considered 'ugly'. Turn it into a style! Please share if you come up with something, im so interested!

Book villain arc when/j actually no villain arc bc pin is already going through one and everyone is so evil!! we need at least one kind soul

what becomes of the merciful and kind
