’It’s Really Exciting To See His Prison Outfit Because There Are Two Shapes To It. One Is Very Polished

So, I'm back with another recreated comic fit. This is Namora in Sub-Mariner #29 (1948). It was impossible to find a dress from the 1940s that looked exactly like hers, so I ended up going with this sweet red dress from the 1950s. The earrings are also from the '50s, because I like those gleamy carnelians better than the 1940s bakelite earrings that came up in my search. Everything else is from the '40s.

Not my most period-accurate comic recreation, but given the year this issue was published, I guess it's close enough. :)

Sometimes if I'm feeling particularly ambitious with my virtual paper dolls, I recreate fits from various Marvel comics. Dream Plane requested Loki's disguise from Journey Into Mystery #85 (1962 iirc), so I did my best to bring it to life using authentic apparel from the 1960s.

Finding irl stuff that looks like their comic counterparts can be quite the challenge, so I was pleasantly surprised to find everything with the same general color scheme!

This scene completely blew my mind when I first saw it. It was SO FREAKING COOL!!! Like, Marvel basically turned these Norse mythology characters into outer space Vikings who fly SPACESHIPS???

Dream Plane and I have soooooo many headcanons and plot bunnies revolving around Thor and Loki being pilots. It's such a cool concept to explore! Like, they would obviously have had flight training. How many flight hours do they have? Did they ever get into crazy scrapes during their cross-country (cross-realm?) solos? Did they have to learn stalls while flying within Asgard's atmosphere? Did they ever get to experience microgravity? How long does it take Thor (in normal circumstances) to familiarize himself with new spacecraft?? (dramatic gasp) What if Loki was a test pilot at some point??? (incoherent squeeing)

The Star Clipper, a Space Shuttle design from Lockheed for NASA.

The craft would have used expendable wrap-around fuel tanks to boost it into space, where it could deposit crew and cargo to orbital platforms.

This meme is perfect because Star Wars-obsessed kid me and El Droide used to imagine that Brom looked like Obi-Wan. XD

Brom: Ah Eragon, you remind me so much of your father when he was your age.

Eragon: You know my father?

Brom internally:

Imagine you've just come home from a loooong day of work. You're dead tired, you're stressing out about that one deadline tomorrow, and you've got a flat tire to deal with. And then your golden retriever of a boyfriend calls to check in on you.

i hate driving. here are the laws! if you break them there will be consequences! except youre also expected to break the law just a little bit. people will get mad at you if you dont. you dont have right of way but the person who does is waving you forward for some reason. here's the speed limit! it's not the speed limit, the actual speed limit is that plus ~5-10. the light is green but you're in the turning lane. can you go? should you have gone just then? the person behind you is honking at you. there's a weird noise coming from your engine; if you try to do the right thing and get it checked out, will you get scammed? you are driving a 1-2 ton metal machine rocketing at speeds unknown to humankind for most of history. around a million people die in car accidents every year; that's about one person every thirty seconds. if you take that seriously and try to drive safely then people get mad at you.
