[Strong Female] Characters and [Strong... →
This is something I’ve run into constantly. The idea that female characters have to be some sort of improbably awesome feminist propaganda icon to be considered a “strong character”. Which isn’t good writing. It’s Hollywood trying to keep women from complaining.
But I’m not going to add a long description here, since the article pretty much covers it. And the...

Design Inspiration - Rosa (Final Fantasy IV)
I. freaking. love. her design. ♥
I barely trust myself to be able to talk about why I love this design, but I do. It’s cute, pretty, elegant, sexy… it’s rare to find an outfit that hits all of those descriptions! And the detail work in this render is just astounding!
Alright… I’m going to try and analyze it now. Her color scheme here seems to be mostly whites,...

More chat shenanigans and me being a hooker.
Phee: (I'll be back in a few... have to go nextdoor and see if I can figure out an issue with their Wii. ^_^;)
Mei: (Liar. You're off to work the corner. ;^;)
(1 hour later)
Phee: back! ^_^
Phee: (and Mei, it wasn't the corner! ... it was the pole. xP)
Mei: (close enough. B[)
Mei: (I'm also going to sit and be quietly amused at the fact you showed up again when I had the song Bad Girl playing.)
Phee: sfdlskjfklsfjsklfjxD;

I know Mei's tastes a bit too well...
Mei: Well I also think it should be a general rule that men shouldn't be allowed to go around without shirts.
Mei: I live by that statement until I get to the guy who plays Arthur in Merlin. Then I'm in a state of "...not sure if want"
Phee: xD!
Phee: you know you do. ^_~
Mei: Ehhhhhhhhh
Mei: Idunno
Phee: ("but full plate armor is so much sexier!!! ;w;")
Mei: ^
Mei: *shot*
Mei: ...though Arthur doesn't even wear FULL plate armor.
Phee: you'd like it if he did, though. don't lie. :3

Fashion is one of the very few forms of expression in which women have more freedom than men.
And I don’t think it’s an accident that it’s typically seen as shallow, trivial, and vain.
It is the height of irony that women are valued for…

Design Inspiration - Viola (Soul Calibur V)
Why do I love almost every detail of this design?
… Actually, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Just the heavily-purple, pseudo-gothic-lolita design was probably enough to get me. And then there’s the hooded cape, flower details, beadwork, ruffled trim, patterned stockings (apparently of moths caught in a spider web)… there’s not a lot about this design I...

Random Design Musings #1
Sneakers. Heels. Sneakerheels.
I first came across this oddity as early as 2003. It was a bit of a fad for a couple of K-pop artists I had just been introduced to, and I always found it strange. Were regular heels too formal? Regular sneakers too casual? What was the point?
Now, an older and wiser me pauses to consider another possibility. Maybe someone just thought “Hey, this...

Guys. Guys.
Makoto and figure skating, right?
But what if
