For the Character Design Challenge
What’s the craziest question you’ve been asked ?
I have to say, this is surprising.
It’s come to my attention that I have not yet made a post about Farmer’s Market Hot™.
Farmer’s Market Hot is a specific kind of aesthetic that is the result of me watching Orphan’s Black and trying to describe the hotness of Cal to others.
See my point?
Farmer’s Market Hot is a wholesome kind of hot. Rugged but approachable. It’s not the kind of hot where you immediately go, “Oh my god they’re so perfect, I want to take them home and photograph them/tear their clothes off.” That’s for later.
This is the kind of hot for people who would visit the farmer’s market to buy some organic cheeses on their way to pick up their kids from their Creativity Through Music class. It’s the look that says “I’m here to support our local beekeepers.” You see them and it makes you want to settle down. You want to do your taxes with them, raise dogs together.
It’s borderline hipster without the elitism and irony, borderline country without the sound of Tim McGraw. If they’re white, racist shit like dreads automatically disqualifies them.
Guys will most likely be stubbly, or bearded, but not to the point of lumberjack. Think Chris Evans in between Marvel movies.

Imagine a woman with a sunflower tattoo, wearing a high-low dress and clunky dependable boots, holding a dog’s leash while she waits at the knife sharpening booth. Imagine a man wearing flannel and holding a baby while talking about ethical alternatives to quinoa.
Farmer’s Market Hot™.
Add this to your vocabulary.

The one’s who says she belongs to the sea are wrong. She is part of it. Part of the beautiful waves and shiniest colors. Part of the deadly depths and merciless rage. And just like the currents, she will not be tamed.

Even though [Andy’s] character says stupid stuff like “boobs fart boobs,” he’s still a feminist, he sees his female partners as equals, and when he doesn’t he’s willing to learn about why he’s wrong. x
