Hey, got it working! Livestream link is in my sidebar if you want to come do eye makeup what not with me!
Yay technical issues.
I’ll get a stream of eyemake up adventures going in a bit, haha. I’ve got to finish some other stuff that generally lags the stream first.

manicpixiedreamspock asked: Londo and G'kar go to sephora
The texture of G’Kar’s skin, particularly around his eyes, poses a unique challenge for everyone involved.
There’s a particular shade of near black garbage that does wonders for a certain Ferengi, however, and that is a massive success on G’Kar when applied with either careful patience or wild abandon.
Londo meanwhile looks amazing in everything and has coats and cravats and vests and heaps of accessories to match every single thing there.
hm okay but have u considered: a soft metallic eyeshadow of some kind
Have considered and have done on a few occasions! Most of them end up sort of rendered invisible or looking like shading thanks to my layers, but he’s got some purple going on in this iscribble doodle:
And some pale blue in the Amano doodle:
This is clearly what people want this evening, should I be streaming putting eyemakeup on this man?
That Line Was An Accident, but Londo Looks Rather Good In What Now Looks Like Eyeliner So I’m Leaving It 2k15
Tbh he kinda does come across as a guy who’d wear eyeliner given the occasion
I maintain that Londo can and should wear EVERYTHING.
Eyeliner, pom pom slippers, dresses, Rococo frills, sleek 21st century menswear, tiaras, nailpolish, excessive beading, fluffy scarves, that fucking shirt from last night… EVERYTHING.
[slams fist on desk] WE NEED MORE CENTAURI IN MAKEUP, THIS IS TOP PRIORITY
I believe you may be onto something.
I will see what I can do to contribute to the war effort. All my G’Kars already have black Amano lips and my Londos increasingly all have black nails, might as well keep right on going.
Where is that weird ass shirt I wanted to put Londo in last night, this other project is not working well anyway.

ok but SU is also great at dismantling toxic masculinity.
steven cries and is nurturing and is emotional and has an openly loving relationship with his dad and isnt ashamed of any of it. he’s friendly and sweet and isn’t violent at all—-his weapon is a shield for fucks sake. hes probably one of the nicest characters on the show and doesnt feel the need to prove himself as tough or manly aside from a couple of random jokes every few episodes.
boys and men are often shown to be emotionally open and honest and loving in this show and i really think thats something kids need to see and learn from
And, in the one episode Steven was told to “toughen up” and “be a man” or whatever, not only was the source (Lars) immediately shown to be silly and wrong when he was unable to open a pickle jar and Sadie was, Steven’s idolization of the physical strength and hyperaggression of Sugilite was shown to be misplaced and damaging. Pearl showed him that being strong in “the real way” was about conflict resolution and thinking things through rather than relying on strength and aggression. So SU actually directly confronted toxic masulinity- it demonstrated the things emblematic of it (aggressons and emphasis on “toughness” and physical strength) to be hard to control and inherently damaging, and Steven’s obsession with it after having his masculinity questioned to be wrong. That’s honestly a valuable message for little boys.
Also the recent episode confirms Steven really likes weddings and romantic stuff, something little boys are generally discouraged to like for fear of being seen as weak, so that’s also great.
