The Fallout series is absolutely great, it has incredibly elaborate details and the actors are amazing.

However, if the internet creeps already have the need to "beautify" the main character, then they should have carried it through to the end.

(Yes, I'm the one on the most right side of the picture.)

⚓ My wife and I made a zine about sailor tattoos from the 1800s that indicated interest in fellow men: https://swanpress.itch.io/gay-sailor-tattoos. (Note that some of the tattoos are raunchy, of course.)

Should be fun if you enjoy #queerhistory (it's fully cited!), or if you're into historical #cosplay. We're hoping people who like #OFMD enjoy it, because that was part of the inspiration for our research. 🏴‍☠️

Sample of first page of zine: During the Age of Sail (1500-1900), life at sea was difficult and dangerous: as one saying ran, “Those who would go to sea for pleasure would go to hell for pastime” (Rediker 1987: 13). It was often forced upon men, either by the press gang or economic hardship (Rediker 1987: 13). However, queer historian William Benemann (2019: 259) argues that, “for the minority of men who were primarily attracted to other men, choosing to be a sailor could be an exhilarating act of liberation.” The development of our modern concept of homosexuality barely overlaps with the Age of Sail (Blank 2012), but whatever we label them, men who were attracted to other men left their mark on the historical record. While surviving letters and journals are rare, there is another way for the average sailor to speak: with his bodily decoration (Newman 1996: 18-9). Already by the early 1700s, sailors were recognizable by their unique ways of dressing, talking, and moving—and by their tattoos (Rediker 1987: 10-2).

A video game that I've played more times than I can count, that I'm SO EXCITED is getting a remake, is Knights of the Old Republic. I can't overstate how much impact this game has had. If you haven't played it before, it's available on a ton of platforms & I HIGHLY recommend it, especially if you love Star Wars. If you have played, what's your favorite Star Wars game & why? Here's me as Bastila with guest star Revan at Star Wars Celebration ❤️ #KOTOR #BastilaShan #Revan #StarWars #cosplay #games
a photo of 2 cosplayers holding lightsabers in front of a convention center during Star Wars Celebration. On the left, one is wearing a black hooded cloak over a helmet that completely covers their face, and matching ornate armor over dark clothing, dressed as Revan, and on the right, the other has dark brown skin, black hair styled in an updo, and is wearing a long brown tabard over a tan bodysuit, with a matching belt and boots. Next to her is her wheelchair.
A dark convention room with the only illumination coming from the projection screen which reads 'Anaheim 2015 Star Wars Celebration' and the dimly lit figure in the center, holding a bright yellow double bladed light saber at an angle behind her back. Her face is obscured, but from her silhouette you can tell her hair and clothing are styled to resemble Bastila Shan from Knights of the Old Republic
