lickypickystickyme: If grandmothers around the world had a...

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

Comic Book Readers

orkin 1947

what’s this?

Little girls read comics from the very beginning of their incarnation??

“Girl reading comic book in newsstand” by Teenie Harris (c. 1940-1945) © 2006 Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh

That sound you hear is thousands of wangsting sexist fanboys shrieking in horror.

Suck it.

I reblog every time I see. I am tired of men saying it is ok for comics to be misogynistic because girls were never the intended audience.

I just think it’s adorable is all.

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link.

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

Hope you like it!

Why are all her outfits so masculine? Where is all her hair? Where is her crown or recognizable designs? It feels really weird that you basically just made her into a man instead of keeping all of the features she has as the princess. There’s nothing wrong with feminity but there’s a reason her name is “Princess Zelda” and not “Gender ambiguous Zelda” or “Prince Zelda.” Even Sheik wore an incredibly form fitting outfit with design elements from her princess clothing despite it making her look like a man.This feels really lazy and part of the trend that seems to just be people gender bending existing male characters instead of creating capable female ones. Why can’t she have long hair? Why can’t she have a fashion sense? Why can’t she take pride in being a princess, a woman, and a hero?

It’s because women are weak and should aspire to be like men right? :I

(Also, all designs are automatically horrible once you start trying to mix stupid steampunk aesthetics into it. Zelda has never had anything remotely steampunk in any game unless you count a cartoon train or boat as “steampunk”)
