shakes you in a tupperware /affectionate
I cannot be stopped. Here's another piece of fanart for @st-whalefall ! Who needs exam prep when you have characters in distress.
You know what, since I'm thinking about it anyways, let's talk formalwear accessories. Most of these are traditionally menswear but a bit of gender fuckery is good for the soul, and frankly most of these are about making your mass-produced clothing fit and lay properly without having to go to the tailor.
Shirt stays: these go around your thighs to hold your shirt down, so that it stays smooth and tucked in. They're usually elastic, with 1-3 clips, and if you wear skirts frequently this is a GREAT way to make sure your top doesn't ride up. The clips will be visible if you're wearing something tight, so loose pants or skirts are where these do best. There's also an insane version that clips to your socks, but that is for lunatics. If you wanted, you could also use one of these clips to hold up thigh-highs.
These do a great job of smoothing and narrowing the waist area by keeping your shirt from bunching there.
Sleeve garters: usually metal, leather, elastic, or silk. These are usually worn with button-down shirts to adjust where your cuff falls on the wrist or hand. They're properly worn on the upper arm, and you pull the fabric of the sleeve above the garter until you cuff is where you want it. Because this creates a puff of sleeve at the bicep, it also broadens the appearance of the shoulders. It's great if you're working with your hands or if your sleeves are often too long for your preference.
Waistband clip or belt adjustment clip/buttons
Three different ways of tightening the waistband of a pair of pants or a skirt. You're not going to get more than an inch or so tighter without weird bunching, and for most of these you'd want them to be hidden under a shirt or jacket, but they do the job if that's something you're having issues with.
Collar pins: There are so many fun ones out there, both with and without chains. They're not terribly practical, though the slight weight may help keep your collar where you want it. Also consider collar tips, which pin (surprise) to the very tips of your collar points.
Sweater clips/guards: meant to hold your sweater or cardigan mostly closed. Great if your cardigan doesn't button, or if you don't like it to be buttoned all the way.
There's tons of other stuff out there like this--etsy is a great place to find this stuff. A lot of these are old solutions to the very modern problem of mass-maufactured clothes not being as one-size-fits-all as advertised, but they're also a fun way to put a bit of personality into businesswear.
Hi Lira!
I love your transformers x DP fics, and I was wondering which transformer is your favorite? And which one is your least favorite?
Hi! I'm really glad you like them. Hm, there's too many characters for me to really pick a favourite, but I really like Prowl, Thundercracker, and Soundwave. They're all pretty different characters, but still fun! No particular continuity, though. As for least favourite, hm, don't have any really. With how wildly different writing and characterization can get across continuities and mediums, I don't see much point when I can hate one iteration, tolerate another, or even like one! The amount of vastly different Transformers content is both a blessing and a curse. Thank you for reading more stories and for reaching out!

Danny: Oh, just because we're Not Human we're not WORTH the effort of being saved? Are you kidding me? You call yourself heroes??!
Normally summoning an ecto entity in the DCverse isn't a problem the Justice League Dark needs to solve, there is absolutely no ambient ectoplasm in their universe, the ectoplasm they do have pools and stagnates becoming completely unusable for ectoentities. Any ectoentity summoned usually burns all their ectoplasm on the trip to the circle before literally fading once they arrive, it is unfortunate, but without energy to keep their form no ectoentities can survive the trip.
Or so they thought.
The only reason they arrived to stop this cult is because they didn't know at first what they were summoning, once they arrived and say the ghost speak runes it was pretty clear they didn't need to waste energy trying to stop the summoning. One member who didn't know about the realms or ectoplasm was worried about the circle, so they decided to calm their fears by letting them see how harmless the summoning is, let them witness for themselves.
So the circle lit up a sickly green as the entity was used as a battery to their own summoning, the circle began to ripple and bubble as it turned from concrete into a pool of glowing ectoplasm, a portal. A hand of glowing white reached through, and the rest of the being was quick to follow, one of the members witnessing who was more aware of what would occur was heartbroken to see a teenager pull themselves through.
Once the being was completely through they lost all energy and fell to the floor which had returned to concrete, but instead of fading like they expected, the kid disappeared in a flash of blinding white light.
What was left in the circle was a very much human teenager!
Maybe they were needed after all.
“My lord, I know you are the demon lord and I am but a lowly advisor, but please listen to me. I suggest that instead of sending the hero slightly stronger demons to kill each time, we just send the strongest one right away”
Some Spider-Man: So, what's your moniker. You a Spider-Man like us, or somebody like Spider-Punk, or...
Danny 'my hero name is a pun' Phantom: Ghost-Spider. Like Ghost Rider but better, because Spider.
Spider-Man: Oh cool, have a nice day.
we’ve heard of Danny phantom meeting dc but what of the spiderverse??
High king Danny is around in the infinite realms and sees a weirdly self contained section.
surprise surprise it’s the spiderverse.
so Danny being a little shit decides let’s just pop in and see how long it takes them to notice I’m not like the others+ he does glitch since it’s stil technically his domain…
On hq’s side of things there an anomaly that isn’t messing thing up and they can’t find it but every sensor they have is going wild.
Miguel is so so angry? Confused? Not even he knows.
spider punk definitely find him first and just doesn’t tell anyone, or even helps him out to fuck w/ Miguel. Lol
Constantine: There are hyper specific manners, and if you break them you will join the kings court as an undead thrall.
Batman: Okay. Young man, you need to eat healthy.
Danny Phantom, teenager, also King of the Infinite Realms: Okay Mr. Batman.
Constantine was pacing back and forth in the waiting room, hands flying as he went over the rules of dealing with Infinite Realm Nobility for the eighteenth time.
Bruce tried to pay attention, really. But he'd already memorized this speech of the Laughing Magicians, and all there was really left to do was wait for their turn to meet the High King.
A flash of movement caught Bruce's attention, and he found his eyes drawn to a completely human teenager meandering his way from one of the side doors and towards the refrigerator stocked with "mortal friendly snacks".
Bruce kept quiet as he heard the teen muttering to himself about "aw yeah fuck yeah fiji water fuck yes", and let Constantine drone on and on about how they were probably the first mortals the King had ever met.
The teenager behind the ranting man stocked his arms full of Fiji water, chips, and cosmic brownies.
Then the Teen turned and realized Bruce was watching him.
Bruce shook his head minutely.
The teen slowly turned back to the fridge and put everything but the Fiji water back. That and the cosmic brownie.
Cautious blue eyes met his, and the kid raised an eyebrow.
Bruce scowled.
The brownie was quickly replaced with a banana.
Bruce gave a slight nod and looked away.
The teen darted back through the side door.
He didn't know who the kid was, but eating healthy was important. And, okay, maybe his own experience with kids had shoved its way to the front of his brain and taken over.
At least the random teenager in the Land of the Dead would have a healthy snack.
Two more minutes passed before the small entourage was allowed into the antechamber.
A glowing, floating boy was hovering just above the throne. White hair, glowing green eyes, a crown that looked like it was made of shattered pieces of space glittering above his head-and a poorly hidden half empty bottle of Fiji water peeking out at them from behind the throne, kept company by a single banana.
...Huh.
He had either told the Kings servant what to feed the King, or...
"Welcome to the Infinite Realms, I am Phantom, High King. For what reason do you seek an audience?"
Oh. Nope, nevermind on the servant theory. That was the kids voice.
Bruce had directly told the King of an entire dimension what he could and could not eat.
Yo! I'm Lira, she/her, LiraBuswavi on Ao3, and I'm just here to have a good time. The header is fanart I received for a fanfic I wrote! Check out @doodlesforfics, they're an amazing artist.
