All the Trashy Novels

All the Trashy Novels by @airplanned is one of my favourite pre calamity cannon divergent fanfictions. It is hilarious and heart warming and I have returned to it so many times. Zelda and Link are such awkward horny little teens and I love them so so much.

I typeset and had actually finished the text block for this one (along with others) last November, which is why the information page says 2024, but we move, she is done now.

I was stuck for such a long time on the cover but I had seen other binders working with matte soft touch laminate/fanart for covers and had wanted to give that kind of cover a go for a while.

When I found the amazing art on the cover of this fic by @eerna and the gorgeous kiss on the back cover by @aquaticpal I was desperate to create a cover from them and could think of nothing else until I had achieved my goal. Thank you both so so much for giving me permission to use your art for this one-off personal edition to my collection. I am so happy with it and will absolutely treasure it forever.

There are a couple of things I would edit about the cover in terms of where I placed things, and the colours came out quite a bit darker than I expected, but overall I am thrilled with how it came out and can't wait to create more covers in this style.

The casing isn't quite abysmal which I am taking as a win. I do need to work on my margins however.

Many, many, thanks to @airplanned for giving me permission to bind this fic and to edit my copy to be an edition that uses UK spelling!

More pictures and a video below the cut.

Ahhhhhh! That’s so cool! This made my day and I love the Zelda font. Thank you so much for sharing!

i really like it (for once!) and i’m unsure about colouring it because i have four other projects on the go so…NOT SURE IF SHOULD COMMIT hhhhhnnnngggg

Most infuriating part of writing is having an idea and thinking oh, this is gonna be so good and wanting to IMMEDIATELY share the vision with other people because it's gonna be good but then you start writing it down and - it is gonna be good. Except. It is also gonna take so, so, so long to finish. And in the meantime. You are the only one with The Vision. Alone. Losing your mind. 😭

Update from the man himself

The Porn Guy aka The Nice Guy aka The Canadian side of Pornhub aka SFW Pornhub’s REAL NAME is Ryan Creamer. No joke, that is legit his real name.

Also this.

Which led him to this.

Bless this man.

I can appreciate him and the service he’s providing independently of the shitshow that is the platform he’s hosted on.

He remains just as funny and weird on other platforms dw

By the way, the topic he was presenting was

‘Can I get an Honorary Degree if I Just Ask Really Nicely’

He was foretold

Shout out to everyone doing the hard yet necessary work of posting about fictional characters kissing online.

He's trying to learn

fat character who becomes a vampire and loses a ton of weight and blood can not sate their hunger but they can't eat anything they used to like anymore. everyone views it as a positive healthy positive development but they're starving and dying slowly but never truly dying, a living corpse. this is a metaphor for something

People finally think they’re attractive and cool and funny but they’re dead. People finally treat them well but they’re dead. Do you see the vision

Transforms into a shell of my former self and finally gains the respectability society never bestowed upon me before

imagine being so ignorant you think that women’s right to wear pants just fell out of the sky. women fought for it. they risked their jobs, reputations, relationships, and education for the right to wear functional clothing. women have always fought for the right to simply exist in public and you vile misogynists think that it’s a sign of privilege!!!!! eat glass!!!!!!!

I often think about the fight for pants specifically because it’s so mindblowing from our perspective today. We cant even imagine what women went through, and often knowing it wouldn’t pan out in their lifetimes. They did it for US. I was reading about Elizabeth Miller Smith and her movement for practical dress, how she actually abandoned it because it was too distracting from other elements of the movement. It was so controversial just to say “this clothing is uncomfortable and I don’t want to wear it.” It was so revolutionary she couldn’t even continue doing it out of fear for safety and progress. She knew it was important to keep it on the backburner for OUR sake and this quote will stay with me for life:

“All hail to the day when we shall have a reasonable and beautiful dress that shall encourage exercises on the road and in the field – that shall leave us the free use of our limbs – that shall help and not hinder, our perfect development.”

She knew it was over for her. She knew that day wouldn’t come while she was alive but she envisioned for ME to have that option someday, and I just cant let her be forgotten knowing how much she cared about me and other women who would come after her.

As late as the 1970s in Chile, women were physically abused for wearing pants. And the new Pinochet dictatorship no longer allowed women to wear pants. Pants was the symbol of defying gender roles and being a Marxist egalitarian subversive. A 1970s western country probably isn’t most people’s stereotype of where women are beaten for wearing pants.

Junta soldiers would tear the pants of women to shreds in the middle of the street, leaving them with the additional humiliation of public exposure in their underwear. Pants are considered indecent but tearing them to shreds is decency. It just shows patriarchal control of women’s fashion isn’t about “conservatism”. Revealing more or less of a woman’s body, the point is that men control it by force.

Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter

By Carmen Aguirre

Photos just months before under Allende of all the young women wearing pants-

Ooh I have a story for this! So my mom and I went to the same middle school (also high school) and at one point when I was in eighth grade I got in trouble for violating the dress code (this was ~2009). They said my skirt was too short in spite of the fact that I’d worn it before (their actual problem with my outfit was that I was wearing black lipstick but that wasn’t actually against the rules). So they went through the rigamarole: called my mom to tell her to come bring me a change of clothes, make me wait for her in the office in spite of the insistence that the problem with my outfit was that it was distracting from my studies.

Them having to call my mom for this is perhaps the best example I have of the phrase “you got the wrong one”. Not only had my mother attended the same middle school as me, but she had actually been dress coded in eighth grade as well, for wearing pants. (This was ~1969). She’d actually planned it purposely as a protest. The dress code didn’t allow girls to wear pants, and she’d had a custom pantsuit made—classy, good quality, well suited to any class president even if she was a Negro—and she wore it to school one day I think after mid winter break. She didn’t make it past first period before she was called into the office. Admin called her mother, who noted that she didn’t have an issue with her daughter’s outfit, so in order to reason with her, they called my moms friend’s (white) mother—one with a lot of pull in the pta and the wealthy neighborhood that fed the school—to try and convince her to side with them. This backfired spectacularly, as she also didn’t have a problem with the suit, and they were forced to drop it and, within a month, change the dress code, lest all the wrath of the Laurelhurst mothers reign down on them.

My mother is the reason Seattle Public Schools dress code allowed girls to wear pants, & she was very excited to bring this up when she was called to the office about my skirt which, needless to say, I was allowed to continue wearing. SPS dress code allowed for students of all genders to wear pants from ~1969 to ~2018, at which point the dress code was eliminated from the district entirely.
