how do u go about designing outfits and finding refs for them? i love how u draw and interpret various traditional asian clothing styles and i can never seem to find good refs
honestly my main tool for finding refs is good old pinterest. You just type “culture you’re interested in” + traditional clothing and boom, excellent starting point to find pics and then go visit the links to find out more etc etc
There are also maps that show you the different cultures the atlaverse draws inspiration from, which also are really good starting points (like this one)
I’ve done a small reference board for u with some pics I had saved I hope it helps! (And that tumblr doesn’t completely murder the quality of the pic lmao)

Dadmight Alternate First Meeting AU….
Where Izuku was allowed to take the written portion of the exam but was then stopped by Present Mic before he could board the bus. He was told that, due to being quirkless, there was just too much risk to allow him to take the physical exam.
And Izuku is heartbroken at being denied a shot at his dreams. He got so close, yet still failed.
He still makes it into U.A., but it’s U.A’s Gen Ed course.
And while no one is outwardly mean, Izuku still feels isolated from everyone in his class and at his school. It doesn’t help that whenever he attempts to use U.A.’s public gym, he’s once again denied entry as many of the equipment there are deemed too dangerous for him.
One thing leads to another and somehow, this all cumulates into Izuku taking on his entire class’ cleaning duties. Every day. Why you may ask?
Well… just because he can’t be a hero, that doesn’t mean his classmates can’t.
And Izuku will gladly let everyone have an extra hour to themselves to train while he mops the floor, cleans the windows, and wipes the chalkboard. He’s practically a Cinderella. A Cinder-deku.
And who should one day find this Cinder-deku but a skeleton-looking Fairy Godmother named Yagi Toshinori.
Now Yagi’s been struggling to find a new successor at U.A. Sure, the first years are filled with potential, but when Yagi pictures giving them his quirk, his legacy, it feels… unfair.
Yes, One for All will make its user more powerful but… those in Class 1-A and 1-B (even 3-A) were already born with power. With quirks. Would they truly understand the sacredness of One for All? He’s not saying that he thinks they’ll be ungrateful! It’s just… would they treat his quirk as something special?
Or would they only use it as a means to further themselves?
He looks at Young Bakugo, Young Todoroki, even Young Uraraka and all he can see is… selfishness. Not bad selfishness in Uraraka’s case but still….
There wasn’t that spark of truly wanting to help others.
Then one day, Yagi passes by one of the Gen Ed classes and hears… singing?
More specifically, someone is singing the opening to All Might The Anime: The Silver Wars Saga and is belting out the chorus: “No matter who you are/I’ll leap from afar/There’s nothing to fear/Because I am here!”
And when Yagi pokes his head into the classroom, he meets the eyes of the green haired quirkless student that Mic had spoken about and pitied. He meets Midoriya Izuku, cleaning the classroom by himself.
Of course Izuku screams, half from shock and half from embarrassment, when he catches the tall, yellow-haired, scarecrow/skeleton man looking at him.
But after calming down, and giving Yagi a tissue to clean up the blood from his cough, the two begin talking.
And it’s during that conversation that Yagi realizes who he wants his successor to be.
(What follows then is Yagi getting second-hand embarrassment at Izuku’s All Might fanboying, Izuku constantly worrying about Yagi’s health, and the two of them becoming friends. Also, cue training montage at Dagobah beach.)

Sometimes good posts are made by annoying people so I’ll help out
These are Safe Shorts. They were made by Sandra Seilz after someone attempted to rape her. If the fabric is torn, an alarm will be sounded.
This is the Rape-aXe, invented by a South African doctor by the name of Sonnet Ehlers. After interviewing a rape victim who wished she had teeth down there, she made this. If someone’s penis is inserted and pulled back out, the teeth will sink in, and can only be removed by a doctor.
The Killer Tampon (couldn’t find a site for it), made by retired anaesthetist Jaap Haumann. When penetration takes place, the sharp end will slice the offending appendage.
The Anti-Rape Belt (also couldn’t find a site), made by a group of Swedish teenagers led by Nadja Björk. It requires two hands to undo.
Anti-Rape Underwear/Bra (once again), as made by a group of Indian students. Will deliver an electric shock when met with unwanted advances, as well as sounding an alarm.
Undercover Colours. Made by 4 male undergraduates at North Carolina U, they change colours when in contact with chemicals or drugs that cause unconsciousness. Used in case you’re wary that your drink has been roofied.
These are just tools to help, but in addition to being mindful of your situations and staying safe, they can help when the worst happens.
Stay safe.
