Anonymous asked:

can you explain the internal patches more pls?? like how you do them?

hi, sure thing! here’s an example of one I’ve added to my pants in the crotch area:

a close up picture of a dirty, white patch stitched on the inside of a pair of crust pants

a close up picture of the bottom and crotch area of a pair of crust pants, this time from the outside.

on the left we have what it looks like on the inside, and on the right we have what it looks like on the outside. it’s pretty much just adding a patch like you normally would.

having the dual layers of patches on both sides provides additional strength to an area that tends to wear out extremely quickly (which in this case is the inner thighs)

I like to use a simple general sewing thread, doubled up, to sew these patches on so the stitches aren’t super visible from the outside, but that’s just personal preference.

ok. so spike and studs on punk clothes. where did those come from?

cause they wouldnt have been mass produced before they were popular, and people had to do them for them to become popular.

so, like, how were they made? were they something else, repurposed? did people make them themselves?

they've been around for quite a while! studs on leather clothing have been used for centuries as a form of armour, and big spikes added to dog collars function as protection for working dogs.

Studs on leather also added extra protection to motorcycle gear if you fall off your bike. studs and spikes have been *somewhat* mass produced for decades, due to their utility.

(there's also ways to DIY them, if you're willing to get fiddly with sheet metal)

Studs and spikes came into the punk scene in the early 80s, when nazis tried entering shows in an effort to recruit young kids. More often than not, you have to force these people out of a scene. So, punks started wearing spiked jackets and big boots as a form of protection, and spiked collars which could be wrapped around the fist to double as a weapon in fights.

Oh I remember this point, AT LEAST. Why? I tried to remember last night but forget.

The point is The Boys HQ and Kickass HQ are comics from the 200ish and is basically "Hero is bad" but in the kickass is differently.

Hear me out, bc I hope to make sense (I often say this bc in my mind I have long put essays and translate them to English is a chore)

Kickass, write by Mark Miller is a story of a loser (incel) who is a fan of comic books. There no powers in this story. The mc (forget the name but it doesnt matter) sufferes an accident and undergo a surgery where it made his skeleton stronger and more resiste t. "Ah like Wolverine" yes and no. His skeleton is stronger than mine ans yours but he can die EASILY.

Then once getting this "power" he decides to be a hero....for fame, of course. He also wants to impress the prettiest girl in the HS. And fails, he has no training, no real power and became a joke.

The girl is not impressed and think he is a lunatic( caveat here, dude has a secret id) well, the girl notices his bruises(remember? He can die easily) and is concerned and the mc takes an opportunity to lie and tell he is gay...so he can be closer of the girl. Who took pity of him and became his friend.

Which yes is canon.

Eventually the truth cames out and he got beat up him...

Why am I mentioning this? Bc I want to understand what is the point of MHA. Kickass is a story that says clearly "only a lunatic would want to be a super hero"

But the same logic cant be apply to MHA sense...it is a job, one many people sough for. Then...why Izu is the one getting the shortest end of the stick?

Hori cant claim, like Marl Miller (who is now a nutcase) "hero bad" to justify his own mc'a treatment...so why?

Hori hating his own mc is an answer(sigh, doubt the others mangakas will offer real critics to his writing. The manga community seems to be "fake till you make it") and it ruins his own story. It is possible to make a story where your mc gets karma...but IT NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE. It is amazing Mark Miller made sense in his comic, Hori didnt. And MHA is to be for young boys and family friend, Kickass is a edgy comic book for boys in puberty.

Hi @mikeellee 👋,

Exactly, other stories like you mentioned the MC’s did something that made dunking on them somewhat justified I.e the MC of Kickass.

In MHA with Izuku there’s none of that so it just feels mean spirited - there’s no humour to see him be dunked on and take it with a smile. I find I just feel sad for him especially this moment

What did Izuku do to deserve this? Nothing but be proud of himself but that to the Author of MHA and Bkg himself is enough and warrants… Brain damage.

Yet Bakugou can treat everyone around him like trash, threaten to kill people, physically harm others under the teachers noses and no one, not even his classmates, care. Bakugou gets no slapstick hurt even though he’s done more to deserve it than Midoriya ever has.

Wow.
