An Open Letter to Met Gala 2018: Everybody Looks Like Critically Acclaimed Video Game Characters

Listen, I’m not a fashionable dude by any means. I rock fan art shirts, Chuck Taylors and Timbs. That’s all I know. So you’re not going hear me bashing anyone’s sense of style. “But what about that roast on Kayne’s fashion line you did back in” …I said what I said. Now, there’s a special time in the year when the Meta Gala occurs and celebs going the fuck off with designer attire. I stay being here for that. The Met Gala always has a theme, but you know what, I’m good. I’m not even going to Google what the theme is (since I know someone will complain about it in the comments, it’s “Heavenly Bodies”) because we don’t even need the context. Well, maybe you do, but I don’t because everyone always looks boss. I don’t need the context homie. The majority of the fun is making it your own. That being said, I just want to highlight some of my faves from this years 2018 Met Gala. *Sets Timer* *DEEP INHALE*

Zendaya announced as an unlockable character in Soul Calibur 6

Zendaya out here in the Joa of Arc armor and no patriarchy formed against her shall prosper. Your girl out here looking like the alternate skin for Sigfriend in Soul Calibur (here for it). Your girl going through metal detectors waiting for someone to try and say shit. Your girl got the steel piece(s) on her at all times. If Zendaya don’t stop playing and give us this Knight’s Tale reboot right the Black now. If Zendaya don’t stop playing with this armor for women that’s actually protective and functional. How you go…
