Design things that make me go "?????": armpit tiddies
LOVE☆STRUCK
Granted a lot of corsets and the like give the illusion of armpit tiddies
LOVE☆STRUCK
But I was looking at Callie and Marie the other day and was like "oh they do have boo-- why they got those armpit tiddies"
LOVE☆STRUCK
Tiddies do not rest just under the collarbone
LOVE☆STRUCK
At least not without corsetry. Which to be fair, may be why they have armpit tiddies BUT REALLY IT JUST ALWAYS STICKS OUT TO ME
✶ 天才的なIDOL様!
dude fuck have i ever shown you this one pic of sonico
✶ 天才的なIDOL様!
lemme find it
LOVE☆STRUCK
And it aint like they're trying to be like "here's some natural skin folds between the breast and armpit!"
LOVE☆STRUCK
Nah just shove that boob right up in there
LOVE☆STRUCK
IM READY
✶ 天才的なIDOL様!
GOD I CAN'T REMEMBER IF IT'S ON MY OLD PLURK OR NOT but basically
✶ 天才的なIDOL様!
she's lay down and propping her chin u; with one hand but somehow her boobs are so badly proportioned that half of one boob comes out from under her arm and it looks like three tiddies
LOVE☆STRUCK
OH NO
boop snoot riot
i'm terrified to ask what armpit tiddies are
LOVE☆STRUCK
It's when the breasts are drawn as connecting like, on top of the collarbone, close to level with the armpit
𝒉𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏
i'm
𝒉𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏
what
✶ 天才的なIDOL様!
GOD I CAN'T FIND IT
LOVE☆STRUCK
SHRUGS some people just dk where tiddies begin
holo 2024
i'm having trouble imagining this and need a visual aid
LOVE☆STRUCK
actually looking over art of the squid sisters it looks like it might have been the angle but
LOVE☆STRUCK
when she's giving the news it looks like her boobs are level with her armpits
boop snoot riot
ohhhh
boop snoot riot
so like, impossibly pert tits
LOVE☆STRUCK
NOT SO MUCH
LOVE☆STRUCK
AS THE BASE OF THE BREAST IS LITERALLY ON THE COLLARBONE
LOVE☆STRUCK
when people draw them up in this area, right under the armpit
LOVE☆STRUCK
there's some BONE there
LOVE☆STRUCK
the mass of a breast starts under the armpit, and when they get lifted up in things like corsets it's because you know
LOVE☆STRUCK
they're going UPward
LOVE☆STRUCK
they don't START up there.
vegan gloryhole
hilariously armpit tiddies are a thing that can happen in real life
vegan gloryhole
wearing poorly fit/too small bras, particularly underwires, can force breast tissue to migrate
vegan gloryhole
and by "hilariously" what i really mean is "oh my god the human body is a horror show"
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh my God
LOVE☆STRUCK
THAT DOESN'T SOUND COMFORTABLE!!
LOVE☆STRUCK
i mean now that you mentin it it doesn't sound like, too far out, especially since Tey has been losing weight/weight shifting, the tissue is migrating away from her back (where she was very tense)
Yarn Temptress
Yeah, that migration is why they say you might need to get refitted again once you're in the right size bra finally. Because now the tissue can get back to normal.
Yarn Temptress
And why they suggest the 'bend over, scoop boobs into cups, then fasten' method of putting bras on. Which. haha no.
LOVE☆STRUCK
HUH.
LOVE☆STRUCK
that... i don't think is something poor tey's back can handle every day
LOVE☆STRUCK
BUT MAYBE IN THE FUTURE...
Yarn Temptress
Honestly I don't bother with it because I don't think it makes any difference. But then I started out in bras too big because I didn't know they come smaller than 32A, so I might not be a typical example.
LOVE☆STRUCK
...i didn't know they made them that small either omg your ribcage is teeny
LOVE☆STRUCK
but i also have big swollen lungs and a big ol ribcage
Yarn Temptress
I'm a 28C/30B, indeed I'm a tiny person.
LOVE☆STRUCK
omg...
LOVE☆STRUCK
on the one hand: impressive, probably interesting to draw
on the other: sounds like a bitch to live with
Yarn Temptress
Like there was one bra that tried to come off with my shirts it was so big.
LOVE☆STRUCK
OH NO....
Yarn Temptress
Once I found the right bras it wasn't so bad. But those I have to order from the UK.
LOVE☆STRUCK
i've always been large ribcage, smol breast, which has been pretty nice in terms of getting away with not binding sometimes buuut.
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's "enough"
LOVE☆STRUCK
when i did wear bras my issue was usually with the cups being Just Bigger Enough to be Seen Under Clothes
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
urgh tiddies are a disaster
Yarn Temptress
Yeah. I mean the small boobs have been really nice for my male cosplays but. The damn things need covered up in regular life (unless I just pull on my hoodie where no one can get even an outline of them), generally.
LOVE☆STRUCK
but the shape has also changed from binding for so long, so I can no longer offer an accurate opinion on it
LOVE☆STRUCK
YEAH it's like, I can get away with loose clothing and hoodies
moontouched
tiddies are the worst to manage
LOVE☆STRUCK
but i can't just go out in a t-shirt bc they're not SUPER big but they Exist
LOVE☆STRUCK
IT'S TRU
moontouched
i keep buying exercise bras bc i just
moontouched
MAKE THEM BE SMALLER
moontouched
I DONT WANT EM
Yarn Temptress
Sometimes I don't give a fuck (usually walmart runs) and just free boob it.
LOVE☆STRUCK
see my biggest thing with this stupid society thing we're about
LOVE☆STRUCK
that it's?? safe. to have breast reductions, no matter how cis or uncis you are
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's safe, beneficial in a lot of cases, and SURPRISE doesn't really ruin anything
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
honestly i freeboob 99 percent of the time because mine are so big and ive never found a fitting bra in-stores
LOVE☆STRUCK
but we have such a... possessive view of breasts that even if the surgeries were Free doctors deliberately advise against them
Yarn Temptress
I do remember when we were learning how to draw people in my first theater class, I drew the boobs wrong somehow (I think they were too low) and I was told I needed to look in a mirror to get it right. Thing is? I did. My boobs are too small to get a decent idea of where everything is.
LOVE☆STRUCK
dshugh
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
i want them to be smaller i hate my boobs
LOVE☆STRUCK
yes, i'll look in the mirror at all the boob i do not have
Yarn Temptress
Never mind how different boobs can be from person to person...
moontouched
also people rarely mention how boobs tend to be lopsided
LOVE☆STRUCK
RIGHT
moontouched
THEYRE TERRIBLE FLESH SACKS
LOVE☆STRUCK
they're not perfectly correct
moontouched
CANT EVEN BE SYMMETRICAL
Yarn Temptress
Or even boob to boob considering the people with asymmetry...
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
literally thousands of dollars to get them reduced. like 5000 of them.
LOVE☆STRUCK
which is why I don't even GIVE A SHIT drawing them
LOVE☆STRUCK
just like HA
LOVE☆STRUCK
NO ONE'S BOOBS MACH
LOVE☆STRUCK
...>MATCH
moontouched
i just squiggle vague approximations like
moontouched
yeah whatever
moontouched
mach 5 boobs
LOVE☆STRUCK
yeah that sounds about right kururu, considering ftm top surgery is around 7000
LOVE☆STRUCK
tho i'll admit (idk if this is tmi) i'm not a fan of how... inverted a lot of ftm trans surgeries look to the point where i almost wanna be like "leave a tiny bit of fat there... i am a roundish boy, i can't get away with an inverted chest"
Yarn Temptress
Chests should not be concave. On anyone.
moontouched
lmfgj im so sorry my brain was just like
moontouched
[deflating balloon noise]
sʜsʟ ɪᴠᴀʟɪᴄᴇ
yeah it does make sense but its frustrating as lower-middle class lol
moontouched
deflated chest...
Yarn Temptress
I should not be laughing.
how about no
I see posts on tumblr sometimes saying that the world caters to people with small chests wrt clothes and I'm like
Yarn Temptress
Oh hell no they don't.
Yarn Temptress
They cater to a very specific range that excludes the tiny and the moderately large and up.
moontouched
tbh i have a hard time working out what kind of damn sizes the fashion industry caters to
how about no
do you mean just flat chests cause yeah that's true but my experience shows fashion expects you to have ample tiddy
moontouched
and people because WHO THE FUCK WANTS SHIRTS YOU CAN SEE BRAS THROUGHN MFHGMABHG
moontouched
fashion industry why
Yarn Temptress
Not only have I been working on a degree in costuming for the past four years, I've grown up with my grandmother and her wedding dresses and formal wear shop.
how about no
I don't have a totally flat chest or midsized average tiddy
Yarn Temptress
I cannot tell you how many times she's had to warn people about how wedding dress sizing works. 'You may have to go up at least two sizes' is a thing I hear at least twice a day in that shop.
how about no
No middy tiddy
how about no
It's really weird cause some are like "you can't have any fat on your chest whatsoever or you'll never fit or look good in this"
Yarn Temptress
Also the fashion industry thinks the female clothing (I don't know about the male) should be disposable, so that's why all the fabric is so thin and can't be machine washed anymore.
how about no
the other is "you need enough to make cleavage but don't go BEYOND that"
Yarn Temptress
Because the expectation is 'you'll wear it for a season, toss it the next and get more for that season.'
how about no
male clothes are made to last bc menz do the physical laborz
Yarn Temptress
And the fucking vanity sizing god
moontouched
ill have to raid the men's section for my clothing tastes
how about no
men also get standard sizes that make sense of course
Yarn Temptress
It's starting to get into the men's section now even and just what the shit
moontouched
at least theres probably a nonzero chance of shirts that hold up,,
Yarn Temptress
Meanwhile I'm over here in the land of patterns going '...so I'm a size sixteen in the hips and a ten in the chest? That's... sigh.'
how about no
POCKETS ALSO? I DONT NEED TIDDY POCKETS I NEED HAND POCKETS
how about no
I have no clue how to take my measurements, they don't teach these things, and with constantly fluctuating weight...yeah
how about no
I don't have bras that aren't loose as hell or sharp pain around the edges
Yarn Temptress
It's a thing that needs to be taught, yeah. I still have to google a couple of things.
Yarn Temptress
See that's why I've bought classes on how to make decently fitting bras.
Yarn Temptress
I haven't tried anything out yet but. At least I can eventually.
Yarn Temptress
Ugh I have to be up at nine to pack more, damnit. I love bitching about the fashion industry and sizing.
how about no
I too love complaining about stupid industries aimed at exploiting insecurity and the torture of having boobs
LOVE☆STRUCK
with men's lines it kinda depends on the manufacturer
LOVE☆STRUCK
you'll see ones that definitely use better fabric for men's clothes, or are devoted solely to men's clothes
LOVE☆STRUCK
but you'll also see lines that use shitty fabric for all their products
LOVE☆STRUCK
and i don't??? know what the fuck they expect to get out of that
Yarn Temptress
For you to get a hole in them within a week or so of buying them so you have to go back and get more.
how about no
Yeah I just threw out that good fabric = expectation of hard physical labor bc my stepdad is a jeans and flannel guy
Yarn Temptress
Ignoring that most people would drop that manufacturer like a scorpion and go to someone who actually has good products.
how about no
I'm PRETTY sure the t shirts he gets in packs have degraded in fabric quality
Yarn Temptress
Lower quality = cheaper to make = higher profit margins
LOVE☆STRUCK
...fair
how about no
but surprise bitch he's so cheap he'll use those shirts until they fall off his back
LOVE☆STRUCK
it mostly struck me becaus ei have this men's shirt that's supposed to look ~preworn~
LOVE☆STRUCK
BUT I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME I TOUCH IT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO FALL APART
Yarn Temptress
.../facepalm
LOVE☆STRUCK
It's see through, it looks like it was intended for women, you'd think it was like, a gauze balled up in the corner the way i throw my clothes around
how about no
have I mentioned how sized aren't standardized
LOVE☆STRUCK
surprisingly it's stood up to washing well
Yarn Temptress
Is this like that 'boyfriend shirt' nonsense that went around awhile ago?
Yarn Temptress
I would fucking kill for standardized sizing.
LOVE☆STRUCK
nah it's more like...t hat faded aesthetic
LOVE☆STRUCK
h/o let me go find the tag
how about no
bought a pack of underwear once that was xl. fit like it belonged on a ten year old
Yarn Temptress
I mean even pattern sizing is dumb as hell, since it's based on female government workers from the 1940s and 50s. And hasn't been modernized at all.
how about no
AND MAYBE IT WAS I DON'T KNOW, THEY MARKET SOME SKEEZY SHIT
Yarn Temptress
Like you've got a horrendously small pool to begin with, then you have to average all of that? Oh god it sounds like a horribly run experiment.
LOVE☆STRUCK
i can't find it but it was basically like the kind of shirt you buy brand new but it's supposed to look like it's WELL-WORN
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh that's
LOVE☆STRUCK
literally what the series was called
LOVE☆STRUCK
well-worn
Yarn Temptress
/eyeroll
LOVE☆STRUCK
AND TRUST ME THIS SHIRT just, when i got it off the hanger it was not so flimsy
Yarn Temptress
I'll just run it through the wash a couple of times to get that effect, thanks.
LOVE☆STRUCK
i was like "Oh this makes sense it'll be fine"
LOVE☆STRUCK
washed it once and then i was like WILL THERE BE HOLES IN THIS???
how about no
but then we'd have to use more fabric wehhhh why can't they be all as skinny as the models we abuse and base everything on
Yarn Temptress
They tell us to use too much fabric for patterns anyway. Look at the back of a pattern envelope sometime and see just how much fabric gets wasted in their layouts.
Yarn Temptress
I swear they're in cahoots.
how about no
oh lol actually I have a ton of old patterns from when mom used to sew
how about no
it uses so much and yet you're still on the edge trying not to fuck it up
how about no
I think her patterns are from like...50s~60s onward? the earliest would come from her mom obviously
