I've been getting into OraOra Kei this is what I need thanks!! 🙏🏾

i get the idea that a lot of people are confusing ora ora (evil 😈) kei for tsuyome

above are examples of tsuyome gyaru, meaning "strong," and in this case, bold / flashy. tsuyome involves bright colors, heavy accessories, big / dyed hair, and bold makeup. tsuyome is more of an umbrella term for heavily decorated gyaru styles.

tsuyome manba is ALSO a thing. if tsuyome means strong / bold, it's clear that tsuyome manba is an even MORE extravagant version of manba. deep tans, super long hair, and very heavy accessories make a regular manba a "tsuyome manba"

above are examples of oraora or ora ora kei. roughly translating to "evil kei" from its connections to yankii - rebel youth groups / gangs. coords are often black with gold or silver hardware (belts, buttons, chains etc.), often paired with tall black boots or heels.

to reiterate: tsuyome gyaru is an umbrella term for bold/decorated gyaru, while ora ora kei is an edgier substyle.

none of this really matters outside of style archiving, nomenclature, and just expanding your gyaru vocabulary. i enjoy sharing some of the semantics of gyaru just for information purposes.

I find this very fitting especially with how Neytiri's dislike to Spider in the movie has to do with her trauma but that doesn't completely justify how he's treated. I still love the art!!

I think it's safe to say that Dilla and Neytiri would not exactly get along, especially after Dilla and Caleb adopt Miles/Spider. Neytiri's attitude towards him would not be tolerated.

Dilla is already fiercely protective of children and the young. Messing with her own babies is throwing fuel on an already raging fire.

Kai is scared, but still trying to cover his brother 😭❤️

I love the summer isles and the fact that people don't often talk about it is beyond me! I feel like I'm biased or maybe it's cause the isles are based off multiple cultures and my country being one of them

It always saddened me that there's so very little love for the Summer isles in the fandom aside from a few snide remarks about their openess to sexuality with little to no thoughts about their various princesses and princes, orange speculation about their highborn and nobles.

So here's a few moodboards featuring my own oc families just to get the ball rolling, also I will share some recently comssioned fanart of some summer isles ocs!

Family of Princess Sandana Dora, deals mainly in gold, copper, and tin and very involved with trade to and from the Free Cities, however within the Isles themselves they're only a moderate and mid status family and it's mostly because of their willingness to deal with Free Cities while circumventing pirates and talents in metallurgy that gives them any meaningful influence

Family of Princess Tollasa Qhaal, her family is bound less by blood and more by ritual and spirituality. While the many breasted goddess is widely known even in Westeros, Tollasa's family are major patrons of the island's sea gods and goddesses often adorning themselves in shells and sea glass as opposed to the traditional styling of feathered cloaks. They are the sole producers of a unique wine that's been "Moon kissed" and is said to shimmer silver

Family of Princess Zhados Daam, polar opposites to the typical image jovial and warm islander, the Daam work with corpse preparation and the afterlife. They aren't shunned by society per say, but their somber and quiet nature often cause folk to give wide berth. Ironically they're said to be some of the wittiest and humorous of the bunch, if you can get past all the corpse jokes

And lastly (as of now), the family of Prince Sabhodhol Chara, the youngest, had only recently come into power due to the tragic loss of his family. That said, his was and still is among the wealthiest and most influential within the Summer isles because of how much weaving and cloth making is venerated. It was among his ancestors who learned to make bark cloth and spin and weave it till it was softer than satin silk and the ones who first fashioned the iconic feathered capes the Summer Isles are so known for.

I feel like this works perfectly considering how old valyria was depicted to be in the past!

I love that honestly i find it overdone when vampires constantly only have one love and never grow from that because you'd think they'd get used to that or some people they know no longer with them and at peace over the years.

big shout out to alucard for not going down the classic vampire route of only having one love of his life and instead allowing himself to fall in love as many times as his immortal heart wanted
