i absolutely aped an archie comic cover for this. i was obsessed with archie as a kid and looking to that for inspiration made this so much fun to work on.

OMG... you absolutely may. do you have examples of sportcoats you like? i would love to see!!

anyway! all this navel gazing is to say: i try not to let the potential of negative perceptions inform my fashion too much. here's me, 3 years on testosterone, in a fun little outfit!

i have the enormous privilege of greater leniency as a white babyface trans man. i think people don't usually perceive me as a man unless i'm REALLY butched up, but there are many things about me that one might misconstrue at first glance!

HAHAHA @thegemthecolor.bsky.social i did indeed turn to colette during the movie and was like OMG, linda from strategy and planning pulled a hard candy!!

giving this film five stars because you wanted to see fred rip a zombie's head off and then he did is literally the purest possible justification for your rating. you are a perfect angel and i will tolerate no slander against your person

kudos to harriet for picking the movie we all needed during a very stressful week. also i think we need to watch more scooby doo movies together and determine increasingly silly criteria for colette to give them a 5-star rating
