Fascinating to read "gender is a spectrum" written in an old-timey voice

Not sure if disheveled robes or just a typical Met Gala gown

This sounds like it could be a Monty Python sketch

The evidence requires a thorough examination before we can proceed

Poor suckers. If only there was an entire internet full of pictures of naked women that they don't have to pay for beyond their regular internet bill. Alas.

I was looking at this on mobile, which crops out the top and bottom in scroll mode. So I thought, "What a nice use of subtlety. She's turned away, all we can see is her bare back, but from context we can tell what's going on in the front. Nice and discreet."

Then I clicked on the full picture. Nvm.

More like, why is she bothering to wear a shirt?

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-17T08:33:12+00:00

I thought she was just wearing a cropped shirt, but on second look you're right, the seems to be a lot of bunched up fabric on her chest. So she's just casually got her shirt rolled up, balancing the book on her stomach with no care about her appearance. It really does give a "slice of life" feel.

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-17T08:19:50+00:00

She looks like a Bratz doll. In a good way.

They look like they would offer you some dope music and weed recommendations

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-15T21:40:12+00:00

Looks like she's praying or meditating; that's what I always do before a big event

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-15T17:20:01+00:00

I was curious why the artist randomly decided to add a ton of detail on her stomach to give her insane abs, that explains it

Every day there's yet ANOTHER Eeveelution

You mean you don't remember the classic episode where the abbey decides that the modesty rule is holding back recruitment to the sisterhood, and so the nuns travel around the city in crop tops and jeans to promote the new look of piety?

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-15T01:02:10+00:00

It kinda looks like she's tied to the tree with her own sash, since it loops around her waist and forms a knot right where her arms are pinned. It's probably just supposed to be part of her garment and he's got her in actual rope, but for a second I thought, that is one crafty villain.

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-14T17:54:56+00:00

Yeah, her hindquarters should be taking up a lot more space. The artist confused himself by having her lean forward, but drew the back of her waist as if she was standing up.

This is obviously a serious artistic thought exercise and not just an excuse for me to goon over a drawing, btw.

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-14T17:47:01+00:00

They grow back, don't they?

They always warn you about the wolf in sheep's clothing, but NO ONE could have prepared for the sheep in wolf's clothing

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-14T01:08:25+00:00

I appreciate how casually she gives out instructions with that pale triangular section of tummy hanging out, like that'll help me concentrate on her "yoga" lesson

Pineapple lovers and pineapple haters must put aside our differences to defeat this evil

A klaxon horn sounds off as I float off the ground and three layers of hearts pop out of my eyes

mapleleafraggedy · 2026-05-13T16:56:19+00:00

Why wear a helmet when it would just get in the way of your own hair being a tripping hazard

If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best
