plebefic headers: warning for both violence AND murder

1. Warnings: Language, Violence, Murder



2. Summary: The sun is melting, splashed purple over the waterline.



3. Disclaimer: Don’t own anyone but I might try kidnapping bhahahaha <<< Apparently that's a little creepy so yeah don't own no one.



4. Summary: Every single time a starburst of red was reflected in your pupils, I could see the lingering question floating in between the tangling of bloodshot-red capillaries. Every time a scarlet tulip blossomed in your celluloid skin, I could see the fear eroding the tired membrane that covered your eyeballs. “Will we make it?”



5. Author's Notes :  Ah. Oh the train back home, I wrote drabbles on post its and they turned out quite fine:D But that's just me talking. Ah and they managed to expand a bit!

sneakerboots "Rhapsody" by Sugar and "Mindy" by Cushe

When I first encountered sneakerboots a couple of years ago, I experienced a brief period of desperately wanting some which I am now glad I resisted, because for the most part I find the construction inelegant around the ankle. This pair by Sugar dodges that with a wider shaft I suppose, and the fun patchwork styling which makes it sort of look intentional, where in a plain curtain-print motorcycle boot like the ones which made Sugar famous, they sort of look like an ankle cuff sewed round the top of one of those elastic-gored slip-on sneakers that covers the whole foot top (eg Vans) with more determination than sense. I guess the look can be cute, but it just perhaps depends on how much of a hipster and/or emo teenie you want to look like? I've eventually decided I don't, really, and given up said cravings, even when shoes I previously coveted have gone on clearance.

Both these shoes dodge that issue, though I would not buy them unless they were right in front of me at a reduced price because I have no sneakerboot-shaped gaps in my wardrobe. "Mindy" looks like the shape of the ankle and all the rest is intentional, with a sort of pulp-sf effect lent by the sole sculpting and slightly puffy caterpillar stripes and the monotone color palette. These boots take me straight to a pleasant space opera fantasy like the space stations I spent most of my imaginative time in as a young teenager, where people wear high-tech garments and jumpsuits with made-up names that frequently have "synth" tacked onto them, and seal their clothes instead of buttoning or zipping them. Here is how I would style this boot for Station Dwelling Teen fantasy: maybe a high-waisted pant with a metallic sheen tucked in, with "engineered" looking shaping seams at the knee and a paper bag waist, with a funnel-neck cybergoth-type pieced jacket with inset pieces in neon, or else a crewneck microfiber tunic under some kind of fur-lined, pocket-adorned utility vest. And of course, a shiny silver helmet, and probably some sort of green-furred genetically-engineered pet (ideally a small cat with antennae) poking out of a pocket, with a pair of puffy metallic Space Gloves and a bunch of hand-held electronics distributed around a utility belt. With this equipment the Teen Station Dweller is equipped for stowing away on freighters, sneaking through air shafts, daring emergency repairs on the life support systems, thefts from the green houses, or slipping into a spacewalk suit to visit the solar sails.

And "Rhapsody" looks ~ethnic~ without going all the way to cultural appropriation land (to my eye though feel free to correct me if you recognize the specific motifs), because it's got a kind of folk art quilt slash elementary school craft project with glitter vibe going at the same time. I actually like this one slightly better, lack of fantasy aside, because I would totally wear it with ordinary clothes and tucked-in jeans. An eye-catching statement shoe is the ultimate neutral, because it's never boring but, with work, can go with just about anything (like a gold metallic ballet flat crusted with sparkly jewels or a rose-embroidered 14-eye Doc...).

Helloooooo buyer's remorse

Wax and I just bought her a new iPod nano (yellow) and named it just now (following the theme of green Omena, may she RIP, and purple Viol) Gylling:



We also bought:

√ new red shearling slippers for me (I threw the last pair away in July. Shearling slippers, people: om nom nom. So delicious-feeling, it's like a chocolate truffle for your feet!)

√ the purple Tornado Alley hoodie

√ $£$€¥!!1!- worth of stylish Finnish housewares as wedding present for the wedding we're leaving for in 11 days

√ five cheese slicers, the Norwegian invention (in Swedish it's osthyvel, "cheese plane", which conveys its origin as a miniature version of a carpenter's tool) which no Nordic household could do without and which is for some reason unknown in the US: one for each of my aunts, one for the bride-to-be

√ two more turquoise Iittala Teema bowls for us (we only have two, even though we have six plates), because they happened to be on sale for €8 @ Anttila

√ a new tea mug for me (white with two skeletal trees in winter on one side, done in sketchy black ink-drawing style)

√ every magazine at Anttila that had Muse on the cover because Wax is cheating on MCR atm

√ lunch

We always feel queasy after spending large sums of money. But at least this way we only had to go through it once, instead of twice if we'd waited and bought the iPod later?
