I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don’t put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.
ok but i found the best picture ever
look at her she’s so cute and happy i love this photo
There is no pattern, only a cutting guide. 2 meters of fabric is able to do it perfectly with no fabric waste whatsoever.
Perfect for people who always feel like their clothes never fit! If you are concerned about the size, here are the pants on me (5’, 90lbs) and my husband (6'1, don’t know but he looks like fanart of Laios).
if you think you are bigger than my husband, all you have to do is scale the rectangles up so this measurement is ¼ of your waist measurement.
But don’t worry if it isn’t perfect.
You can wear them as regular pants, or over kimono.
I want you to make these pants. Make monpe and experience the joys of adjustable clothing that will stay with you for years. Experience the joy of sewing something you know will fit and be well-made and usable, with no precise measurements besides hemming them to your height. Put on these pants and feel superior because you made something that the store could never give you.
Weight fluctuations? Pregnancy? Really thick kimono? Need to wear a lot of layers? No problem. Monpe will help you. Monpe will always be there for you. You can’t get that at the mall with the rest of the slave labor clothes.
Not historical clothing but utility and construction workers in Japan often wear clothes that follow the same shapes as the peasants clothing. So if you search around for utility clothes you’ll find some really cool shit. I went by a hardware supply store in Japan out in Tochigi-Shi and got a modern sort of monpe style pants that were shot through with metallic purple.

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there’s a slug on their plant and so you’re like “Oh haha you’ve got a friend there let me get that for you” and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is “would you like this free slug with your purchase”
@holyknuckled you get it. lterally what are we here on earth for if not to occasionally impose gastropods upon unsuspecting customers. this story is delightful
Leshy and self sabotage. They’re in “It normal to casually lay on each other” territory but he has to fuck it up.
I’m trying to slowly draw them more accurate to what I have in mind without sacrificing drawing speed, especially size. I always take some time to adjust to drawing new characters.
100% Narinder… His cult is on someone else’s name, he owns no land, pretended to be out of work for 1k years and claims 2 sons who are not his on the tax form. Gotta be him! 🤣
*grabs business card* Be not afraid, Ms. Blue. I must request you desist from this slander of my favorite kitty client. He has been the victim of a hostile corporate takeover. I believe, if you examine his DEVOTION-2’s, you’ll find a noticeable lack of income, as opposed to your claim of his “pretending” to be out of work. Finally, my client is prepared to provide totally legitimate adoption paperwork regarding his son’s. Probably. If I can find him.
OBJECTION!
Tsk Tsk Tsk… Let us talk about the defendant’s “income”. We know that he has been employing these “vessels” while rightfully in jail already for his illegal activities. He recruited these mortals in order to build his empire for himself. More often than not, your client has been heard calling “MY cult, MY followers, MY most devoted,” therefore admitting his ownership. Not only that, but upon testimonies like the Lamb and Ratau, we know he sealed a PACT and employed as “Service to the Red Crown” which he claims as “divine right”. Sure to be someone who owns nothing, the defendant seems to claim a lot of assets.
But let us assume for a moment he did NOT have any income, as you say. Where did the gold from the offering chest come from? Every Vessel dutifully offered fish and whatnot in exchange for considerable sums of gold. And yet, there is no gold mentioned on his tax form!
Can the defendant explain where the gold came from and present evidence to support their claim? Or should I assume that, since he didn’t work, he allowed the two minors to take on an occupation? That would be not only a contradiction in his testimony but also against the law!
Well… Uhm. A thousand years in chains makes you forgetful. But my attorney has surely something to prove once and for all that my taxes are filed more than correctly! Right?!
Yes, the court is quite curios to see the evidence provided by the defence attorney. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to agree with Prosecutor Blue and rule a Guilty verdict!
AYM: We can’t allow this to stand! DO SOMETHING OR I WILL! BAAL: He might not be our father… but Master has taken care of us, and we can’t see him in chains again. Think, there must be something we are missing!
GUYS THIS WAS MEANT TO BE JUST THE FIRST PANEL WTF HOW DID IT ESCALATE?! AHAHAHAHA I AM DYING PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING.
And part of why I like my job is cause I’m pretty good at deescalating conflicts without violence or police involvement
And that *might* be because my primary coping mechanism for stress is humor, and if the guy in the uniform isn’t stressed out, usually nobody else is either
But anyhow today I witnessed a crime, which 911 had already been called for
And I’m telling the guy, you know, as he’s running away, that nobody’s gonna touch him, we don’t do that here, I don’t have any weapons and he can totally walk on out if he wants to
And he gives me this ‘go-fuck-yourself" type answer, right? As you do
And I fucking
I fucking. Start danCING
I DONT KNOW WHY
I WAS JUST LIKE “aight guess I’ll go fuck myself then, cheerio” AND START FUCKING DANCING
LIKE MY BRAIN WAS LIKE “Cool not being attacked, gotta keep the witnessed calm, gotta stay chill and breezy” AND THE PHYSICAL RESPONSE FOR THAT WAS TO SYART DOING THIS SASSY FUCKING JIG
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZR I WAS FDOUNG IT UNTIL SOMEONE POIU TED IT OUT AFTER
and it all ended fine and the dude is in custody and I get a call from my boss like “Yeah we’re gonna need to send footage to police”
AND
FUCKING
THIS IS GOING TO BE SHOWN IN COURT SOMEWHERE
IM DOUNG A SRUPID LITTLE DANCE ON CAMERA AS THIS GUY LOSES HIS MIND AND ITS GONNA BE ON COURT SOMEWHERW
“everybody hates me” factoid actually just a statistical error. The average person doesn’t hate you, especially not your friends. You, a person who sits in your room experiencing self loathing every day, are an outlier adn should not have been counted.
This is sweet but I really thought it was going to end with someone named “Haters Horge” who spends every second in a cave halfway across the world just loathing you for no reason and they were the statistical outlier
odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”
Oðinn spake:
Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

This is how I feel about Joshua Trees. They and avocado trees produce fruit meant to be eaten and dispersed by giant ground sloths. Without them, the Joshua Trees’ range has shrunk by 90%.
(my own photos)
Not only they, but the entire Mojave ecosystem is still struggling to adapt since the loss of ground sloth dung. their chief fertilizer.
Many, many trees and plants in the Americas have widely-spaced, extremely long thorns that do nothing to discourage deer eating their leaves, but would’ve penetrated the fur of ground sloths and mammoths. Likewise, if you’ve observed a tree that drops baseball or softball-sized fruit which lies on the ground and rots, like Osage Oranges, which were great for playing catch at my school, chances are they were ground sloth or mammoth chow.

Queerplatonic relationship should be platonic-queer relationship. “But derin that’s a far more confusing phrasing, that just sounds like having gay friends which is absolutely not the – ” yeah yeah I know, but.
PQR. Alphabetical. We can make the term worse to make it part of the alphabet.
I am normal with normal priorities, you can trust me with language.
If you are adding an S it should be at the start. Situational Platonic-Queer Relationship (SPQR) (Senatus Populusque Romanus)
There have been a lot of people talking about the Romans in the notes of this one
”average streaming service has all the shows” factoid is acutaly just a statistical error. average streaming service has 0 shows. Poob, which has over 10,000 for you, is a statistical outlier adn should not have been counted.
People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”
It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.
Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.
Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.
There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.
Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.
