i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

I love me a fantasy monster-slaying greatsword, but the historical greatsword has a pretty badass purpose too!

current main cast lineup for Flicker, Evelynn, Vixen, Mira, Verain, Vone and Kesrin. They all have major roles and so far they're in pairs with Evelynn + Vixen being the 'antagonists', Mira and Verain being the 'protagonists' and Vone and Kesrin being the secret third thing

based on how they look you can kinda tell, but Evelynn and Vixen are scientists or scientist-adjacent.

Mira and Verain are opposites in their upbringing with Mira being royalty and Verain moreso a nobody low-life criminal.

Vone and Kesrin are both thieves for hire and they both work in the same division in the company they belong to.

They all kinda center around this substance called Blu, Vixen was the original developer, as a child she found the remains of a sealed god and was able to make a drug out of it. Evelynn helped her develop it and acts as her marketer, Mira is trying to tackle this drug problem in the empire she's inheriting and Verain + Vone have personal ties to Vixen since they all grew up together.

these are a few scene visualizers I've made recently (with the second being a little older) and im just gonna ramble abt them a bit)

The first to are abt the characters Mira and Verain (Mira is the blue one and Verain is the red one) and their story is that they met under untasteful circumstances and Verain is guiding Mira back to the city she's from. The first picture is where most of their journey takes place which is this sect of woods (full of snow and red foliage) And they really dont like each other at first and theyre more distant (Verain is just happy to be on an adventure) but the second one is later on. Their relationship goes from begrudging travel partners -> mutual respect for the others integrity -> A banter-filled competitive friendship -> homoerotic friendship 😔which is where the next shot comes in, they stay at a variety of odd places in between their adventures and towards the end when they reach fancier places they trust each other enough to fall asleep near the other and have a fleeting feeling of peace with each other.

Mira comes from higher education while Verain can't read or write, and they have a lot of bickering moments to where eventually Mira cracks down and says 'shut up and listen im going to teach you how to read' and slowly in their spare time of making camp she teaches Verain basic reading skills

the second picture is of two completely different characters from the other side of the story, Vixen (the ginger) and Evelynn (blue swirls in her hair). Vixen is the creator of a new fantasy drug substance but also a salty introvert, so Evelynn, a famous chemist offers to fund her work and market it in exchange she'd become Vixen's research partner, and they'd have equal ownership over "Blu" the substance Vixen had made. Evelynn uses manipulative tactics to subtly influence and control Vixen's decisions and takes it from strictly business to trying to be Vixen's friend. So, they have a lot of dinners that Evelynn makes Vixen come to where she tries her hardest to pull Vixen out of her own head and into Evelynn's world of influence and marketing.

i want to do more stuff like this because I have a lot of distinct scene ideas theres just no hope of me being able to post them chronologically until theyre all done T-T thank you for reading!!
