un: blackbirdtarot | video
WHO: August and anyone else
WHERE: Network, maybe his place
WHEN: end of January
WHAT: why are y'all like this
WARNINGS: swearing!
[The video opens up on a very chaotic sewing room, with a dressform that's half-covered in a project, a raven-that's-not-a-raven perched on a perch above the dressform, and one very frazzled August, hair in the messiest bun and glasses a little skewed.]
Okay, just. Okay. Since we are apparently getting more and more people from not here and y'all are showing up in the worst actual stuff--hi. August Villareal, "blackbirdtarot" on literally every form of social media, I give tarot readings and take clothing commissions when I'm not dying in college. If you happen to be a bird-nut, my aunts run Crowley Sanctuary for Birds, we're always popping up places for this bird or that bird or getting this grant or the fucking goose incident.
[Goddammit Lucy. Goddammit Goosetavo.]
Anyway. If you are from Not Here and have found yourself now here, hit me up and I'll make you three outfits, or help you get three outfits if you want jeans. Free of charge. I've made some wild shit doing this, so unless you want me to make you fucking armor, I can probably figure out how to make damn near anything.
[Gods.]
Everyone else--you gotta pay, and everyone's gotta pay if you want tarot readings, my hourly rates are listed on every profile I have. [His phone goes off. August checks it, and then sighs.] Also, I've been told on no uncertain terms that everyone who can use this app is apparently invited to my place next month, because my aunts are coming over and they never met a group of people they didn't want to feed and they have no chill. It'll probably turn into a potluck, gods...
[He goes to turn this off before pausing.]
Oh, if anyone speaks French or Spanish and needs help, hit me up. I'm still learning Greek, but I guess I can help with that too.

About how many hours do you spend on average on an outfit?
A normal one, not the costumes.

[And now he'll directly address August again]
I'll pay for them. $100 per outfit plus the cost of any materials. Sound fair?
no subject
Uh. I mean. I'm not gonna say no, because I'm not an idiot but. What.
no subject
That said, I will want to see your finished project and if you try to scam me, I will make your life a living hell. We clear? ♥

[August'll admit that this guy is good looking! Of course he'd make bank on OF.]
No worries, I've made stuff for loads of people, you can check Twitter or Instagram for examples.

You can look at my Instagram to get a sense of my style. [He'll drop a link to that. Sure enough, it's full of thirst traps] But I really want to see what you'll do when you're given creative freedom.
Though one request: I'd like something that covers up my sternum.
no subject
[....oh, very nice thirst traps. Very nice.]

[And with that, he scoots closer to the camera and pulls down the collar of his shirt. Sure enough, there's a gem with some gold metal nailed into his chest.]
Most normal people don't really notice it or think it's part of a necklace, but with the strange stuff happening since the app appeared, I rather not draw extra attention to it, you know?
no subject
August does not say that, but he is clearly thinking it.]
Yeah, no, I can work around that. Just like a scar, yeah?
no subject
Ha, yeah. Just like that.

I look forward to seeing what you make! Make me hotter than I already am, alright? ♥
