#;;kaname’s wardrobe

[woodblxssomcrowned]

True timeline/Konoha Shinobi!AU aka It Girl!era Kaname with a look I actually enjoy!

It feels more founders era than what I’ve sketched up before without going for just armor or a kimono shirt, but it’s definitely treading a fine line between founders era and Naruto era.

Also I just really like to draw her in earthy colors of green and brown with small gold details and a red lip~

[weirdcandyclown]

i made this color trend a long time ago and i wanted to post it here as well... and yes i consider sayori as blue, dont care if her hair is salmon pink, monika's hair is light brown and yet her color is green so whatev

Kaname Date and his wardrobe of Spencer's shirts

[yume4evere]

Yuuki Kuran Part 1

Personality: ~The joy of life and a pure heart~

She is the joy of living personified. She offers her dazzling smile to everyone she truly loves. Her pure heart is the source of her overflowing energ

"("She has a special smile when she sees Kaname" 

Hobbies, favorite food: ~She loves sweets and cute things~

At school, she often eats the famous "ginger menu", as sportswomen do, but she likes sweets, like all girls.

Sports: ~She loves sports! She is lively and in great shape!!~

She hates school but she loves sports!! You can admire his liveliness and flexibility in his everyday gestures.

Yuki 's bed : ~A sweet night in a cozy bed~

Her life is very hectic and because of her mission as "guardian", she doesn't sleep much. So sleeping deeply in a cozy bed, to recharge her batteries, is also part of his mission.

Yuki 's closet : ~An adorable and well-stocked wardrobe!~

Choosing and trying on clothes from her wardrobe with Sayori is also among the girls' happy moments.

The big mirror: ~Check her outfit in her big mirror~

At this age, girls are very sensitive about their clothes, their hair... So it's more than necessary for them to have this big mirror in their room,She looks at herself in her large mirror. It's time to get motivated to go to class!!

A look at Yuki 's private life :

Despite a very busy schedule, she still finds some precious moments to have fun, it's her character.

~She takes baths in the headmaster's bathroom.~

The dorm bathroom is closed early in the morning, so she has to use the manager's bathroom.

~Her most precious treasure and her friend Yori~

Her room conceals many hiding places for her little treasures... But her most precious jewel is her best friend Yori .

 All the things that make his heart beat!!

The wise Yuki likes to feel her heart ignite for someone or something.

Number 3: Scale of exaltation ♥30

~ Aido said some very daring things to him...~

Number 2:~Forbidden bites in the dance frenzy!!~

Bite into the dark as everyone prepares for the ball...when everyone is boiling and losing their minds.

Number 1: Scale of Exaltation ♥200

~When Kaname hugged her...!!~

The looks and feelings between Kaname and Sara Shirabuki , both so beautiful, were so intense that Yuki had given up on getting between them forever... when the unexpected happened and Kaname carried her to the sofa, heart had never beaten so fast!!

A few messages for Yuki:

~The testimonials of friendship from those she loves.~

From Kaname : You are always so beautiful Yuki ... Hee, hee, that's right, don't be shy. When you blush, you're even cuter. Your smile is my sunshine, never change...

From Takuma Ichijo : It's funny to see Kaname suddenly change when he sees Yuki . I love that.

From Zero Kiryu : Your height, your character,... You are an eternal child. Despite that, you still act like I'm your little brother or something. You still fascinate me so much.

From Kasumi Kageyama : Miss cross , I'm going to curse you if you still have bad results in your exams!!

From Akatsuki Kain : That's a hell of a job you're doing for school, hats off to you, you little disciplinarian.

From the director: My lovely daughter. I cooked some good things for you, why don't you eat with your little daddy?♥ 

From Hanabusa Aido : You look delicious Yuki ♥ Just kidding. Your only advantage is the taste of your blood!!

From Sayori Wakaba : I encourage you for your work as a disciplinary officer but I worry about you... You need sleep.

From Senri Shiki : What... The little girl in charge of discipline...? If I say that, the leader of the Moon Pavilion will come at me. She reminds me of this little rat that lived in my garden when I was a child.

Again

(TLDR: sad ass Penny chan tries to fall asleep but keeps strugglin')

(Disclaimer: good ol' angst, mentions of suicide, vomit and religious trauma)

He was coming.

At this point it didn't even feel all that terrifying, but the feverish rate her heart kept pounding at kept some anxiety going. She gazed at the ceiling, 'again'.

She'd already divided up most of his belongings between his friends, brushing it all off as another depression escape. 'They know'. Their worried looks, her weak smile, the aggressive tone of the priest as he slammed her slightly against the wall, the insistence of the jacket...

It hung there, looming over her wardrobe doors, she swore he was still in it some nights. She shuddered out a sigh and checked her phone. By this point every magical girl nearby was rejoicing her supposed death. "No shinigami for a week? Thank fucking Kaname!". Every bit of this made her sick.

She wanted to. Throw up, cry it off 'nd get back to work. It was different though, she knew damn well.

It started to sink in, her body tensed as she hunched over. The feeling of her matted hair triggering little quivers as she stared across to her desk.

'I n'ed to get out'. She got up, pulling her blanket over her. With every step the certainty of her fate was etched into her mind. 'He's coming back...again', 'he's coming back again', 'again and again'.

The sofa didn't help this feeling, it just gave unpleasant reminders of when she insisted on doing so when they first...

"Really I don't mind-"

"Shinigami security comes with high quality treatment 'f clients!"

"yer persistent on this huh?"

"A man as charming as you deserves it~!"

She sighed. Sitting up again, the cold wind hit her fur as she slumped on the balcony floor. Scooting up against the beat up bean bag, she stared up.

The cosmos taunted her as she lay there, the distant sound of traffic soothing her heart to a near crawl, her eyes sagged shut.

It felt nice...

Cold....

Quiet....

Windbells twinkled as she stood there.

The sea of flowers brushing by her legs slightly, it felt...nice. Cicadas cries ghostly blew with the wind, tucking her hair behind her ear slightly. She closed her eye.

"Glad t' see yer doing good!"

Her eye shot open. The flowers below bleeding red...geraniums.

No...

not again...

He brushed a hand playfully over her hair.

"Sorry I made y'worry so much before".

Her hands shakily drew into fists as she gazed up into his face. The familiar softness he once held piercing her heart.

Wrong.

"Glad t' see ya stopped killing though, knew y' had it in you!" his laugh burrowed deeper. It sounded so warm. His hand slumped down to her shoulder, pulling her closer.

"Y'know...you were wrong about them..."

This felt wrong.

She looked up, eye dilating in fear. His once warm face over cast by the sun above.

"They're really nice, I don't think I've felt happier in my life!"

"They always make sure I'm doing ok!"

'THIS ISN'T RIGHT'

He bent down, embracing her as he brushed her hair again. Metal digits rubbing against her neck slightly.

"You should apologise, really. I don't see why you'd ever hate Ma-"

'WAKE THE FUCK UP!'

She flung up in fear, cold sweat dripping from her slightly as she stared across, no part of the apartment was safe. The guest room he once slept in, the bathroom he sheepishly agreed to used, the crawl space they had judged old movies in. 'Can't do it...I won't do it...'. Her legs wobbled as the door slid open.

"Fuck it".

The apartment stood ominous in the distance, her legs dragging in the inky void below. 'cold...so cold', she huffed slightly. Clutching the jacket tighter over her frigid shoulders. 'he won't hate me... right? He knows I didn't...'. Her eyelids slumped lower, 'God fucking damnit'.

"Y'...y'good?", his concern washed over her. Hung against his slender shoulders, her body melted slightly over the doorframe to her sis's house. "Tired....can't...", she paused. Looking up at B.O.B's concerned eye.

"C'mon....", he seemed to chuckle slightly as he took Vash's coat and hung it somewhere. Deep below the house, in a cramped concrete room, the gnawed hanging bulb swung slightly, hunched over the sofa, it felt right.

"Y'wanna watch something?", she stared up. He was flipping through various tapes she left absentmindedly on the side table, disinterest faded on his face. "...nothing he saw...", "gotcha....". He slid one into the player and slumped next to her.

She squirmed slightly, legs slipping behind his as she pulled a tattered blanket out from behind the cushions, the cosiness of his frigid body next to hers finally began to sink in. Her eyelids dipped, a cold sharp pain sunk across her leg, she tensed. Nails retracting just as quickly when he looked over, "y'know I can wake ya if y'want".

"....thanks, I-", her mumbling was cut with a deep yawn, "...thanks". Slumping further into the spot, the soft chattering of the TV getting less clear.

He stood there again, the meadow withered into the sandy dunes of Gunsmoke, the crimson blaze of his coat making the dusty charm of the environment seem null. His bag hung precariously over his back as he stood there. She put a hand on his back.

"Glad t' see yer doin' good!", her head sunk against his bag. He slid a hand behind to stroke her hair once again, "sorry I made y' worry". He turned slightly, the orange tint of his shades and the sun making it near impossible to read his face.

"..."

"...you were right y'know". Her eyes shot up slightly, seering in pain from the heat above. "Hate to admit it". His soft laugh pierced her heart again. "It's nice here but...", he paused. "I'm...sorry". "...You should...get some sleep". Her heart sank.

"Yeah... g'night, Humanoid Typhoon~"

"'Night, Shinigami"

I make-a-da sad ass Penny chan AU

(this makes sense to no one else but me but I don't give a fuck I love hate this thing)

Vash the Kaname

Alternative Universe in which Twobey and Kyubey decide to co-incidence and make Vash into a magical girl (and also kill him), as a way to lure Penny chan back into heaven (and to also just taunt her).

Often putting him into her dreams as either Kaname or as himself, he often serves as a painful reminder of her mistakes, as she now consistently struggles to sleep and find any kind of peace.

Pretty much anything that reminds her of him is a painful thing (but at the same time she still clings to it).

(I just realised this'd make a great sad ass fic I might make).

(how the hell did this all spawn from one shit post image I made)

(I legit didn't think it'd go this far but-)

[magical-girl-coral]

i just found out about urban samurai aesthetic and i want to cry from sheer joy.

i finally found Kaname’s modern wardrobe y’all 😭😭😭

[cxrsedsouls]

The Demonic Pureblood

Name: Kaname Yamazaki Age/Birthday: 225 / November 30th Height/Hair/Eyes: 5′11 / Black / Orange Species: Pureblood Vampire Gender/Orientation: Male / Demisexual / Demiromantic Relationship Status: Single Availability: Available Notable Features:  Cold pale skin, eyes that can change to red and fangs that can grow FC/VC: Gareki from Karneval / Bring Me The Horizon IRL FC/BC:  Andy Biersack / Tba

Bio:

Kaname is the third born to the Yamazaki Vampire Clan. He is strong, quiet and doesn't get along well with others. He's very awkward socially and prefers complete solitude over anything else. So long as he has his music that he shall be fine. If you approach him, the chances of him speaking to you are very VERY slim. Typically he will just put his headphones in and ignore you. If you are persistent enough then he will even walk away from you without a single word.

This man is extremely difficult to get to for he doesn't give anyone a chance. Not in the slightest. He has no interest in making friends or having any sort of relationship. All he wants is to be left alone with his music.

[nebyuula]

[galaxsims-x]

 Hikaru Togami || 28 || Pansexual || Waiter || for @colourfullsims​ Love Island!

Hikaru has lived alone in San Myshuno for over a decade. After graduating high school, he went straight to work despite the fact that his teachers encouraged him to go to university after he scored well on all of his exams. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go; Hikaru couldn’t afford to pay for further schooling, especially after he was disowned by his parents at age seventeen when they caught him with a guy. He found a job in a basic restaurant that hardly paid him enough to pay all the bills, but it was the only thing he was able to find without any recommendations. Because a lot of his income relies on tips, Hikaru has an extra hard time thanks to his resting bitch face. He’s someone with a very rough exterior.

At the moment, he has no relationship with his parents seeing as he hasn’t spoken to them in a decade. Losing touch with them really hurt him and is still a sore spot for him to this day. He doesn’t talk about his parents at all, not even with the people he closest to.

Not long ago, Hikaru Togami got a call from an adoption agency. It turned out he had a three-year-old son he never knew about. Kaname. Apparently, Kaname was left on the steps of a firehouse, looking terrified and clutching a stuffed bunny in one hand and a note in the other. The note was from his mother who was too tired and sick to continue on. She was going to die. The note instructed for Kaname to be put in an orphanage, but after a DNA test was done on him, they found his father—Hikaru—and let him know that he has a son and he can take him if he wants to. Otherwise he will go into the foster system.

Hikaru was utterly dumbstruck to hear that he had a son, especially since he didn’t know his son’s mother very well, but he couldn’t let him be put into foster care. He wanted to have a happy family and he wanted to teach his son to love everyone no matter what. So Kaname came to live with his father, something that took a lot of getting used to for the both of them.

But eventually Kaname became the most important thing in Hikaru’s life. He will do anything for that little boy.

Hikaru has a hard time caring for Kaname because of his lack of money. He spends every extra cent he earns on his son’s clothes, food, and toys, leaving not much left for himself. He wants more than anything to give Kaname a good life. He wants to be able to buy a house and send his son to a nice school where he can grow up to be a fine young man. So Hikaru is desperate to get his hands on a nice sum of money.

When he saw that Love Island had a big money prize, he knew he needed to apply right away, even if it meant having to leave Kaname for a while. He’d have his best friend and neighbor look after his son while he was gone. He has no intention of losing.

Hikaru does not believe in love. It’s not something he’s ever believed in. After he was rejected by his parents, the two people who were supposed to love him unconditionally, he knew that love was nothing other than an illusion.

                       More pictures, unedited cas screenshots, and fun facts under the cut!

His traits are: bookworm, clumsy, and genius.

He has the big happy family aspiration.

Can and will be manipulative when needed.

Can’t cook. At all. He tries, though.

VERY CLUMSY. Also kind of a derp when it comes to feelings. If he got butterflies in his stomach, he would just think he ate something funky. And he’d probably think he was losing his mind if someone occupied his thoughts.

Is a scorpio. (November 8th is his birthday)

His favorite color is green, which you can definitely tell from his wardrobe.

He speaks Japanese and English. He has an accent when speaking English, which lbr is adorable.

Hikaru has lived in the city (San Myshuno) all his life; it’s his comfort-zone.

He tends to keep to himself and people tend to avoid him because he always looks like he’s glaring at everyone lol

People can never tell what he’s really thinking.

Makes a lot of dad jokes since becoming a dad

Hikaru’s affair with Kaname’s mother was something that lasted a weekend; after it ended, he never heard from the woman again.

Can and will do everything he can to win. He needs the money to give his son a good life, even if that means pretending to fall in love with someone.

Really is just in this for the money. Will someone be able to thaw his cold, dead heart?

Or will he stay true to his belief that love is an illusion?

All of his outfits are done with cc only being used on his everyday outfit! :)

I do have a lot of custom sliders in my game, but I don’t think I used any to make Hikaru. If I did by accident or out of habit, I doubt he’ll look different. The only presets I used on him are his ears and his jaw ^.^

I can also make his son if needed!

Private DL if chosen 💚 

[woodblxssomcrowned]

Some continued Warring States AU sketches of the layers of Kaname’s combat setup

The long coat is something she picked up from her mother’s clan.

Some more notes can be found in this older post. I have made some alterations to her armor since but the notes are still more or less much all relevant and accurate.

[cloudydoodle-moved]

Tell us more about your ocs!!! I love them so much they’re such cuties and I wanna daydream about their universe with you in spirit

Hi yes please answer the ask abt your ocs I love hearing you talk about them and I’m really curious what you have to say!!!!!

FINALLY ANSWERING THIS!!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!!! GOD i left this ask sitting here for so long. BUT HIII IM HERE NOW!!!!! it’s getting a bit late so most of this is copy-pasted from what i told my friends! (and not much of my usual rambling, as much as i love these kids lol)

ALSO TYSM FOR ASKING ANON ILY........ <3333 HEART EMOJI SPAM

under the cut!!

[PSSST this goes surname firstname bc im pretentious. anyways]

TAKAHASHI KANAME!!!! (she/her)

A girl who desperately wants to be cool--and comes off as a bit of a chuuni because of that. She likes to spout dramatic BS and kinda just hopes it works out. Kins Mikorin from GSNK, probably. Really, she's a bit of a goody two-shoes [1] at heart. She gets VERY flustered whenever someone compliments her. She's a bit confused (about...everything, really. especially math) but she's got the spirit! 

[1] compared to the other two im gonna introduce at least lol

BIGGEST WEAKNESS: cats (or anything cat related) and genuine compliments

-

MIYAMOTO [REDACTED]!!!! (they/them)

...Eh? What's up with the "[REDACTED]"? Well, they're just trans and haven't been able to pick a name yet, so they just go by Miya or Miyamoto (they like to tell people to call ‘em Miya-sama, but it hasn’t worked yet). They're surprisingly smart when it comes to academics, but they REALLY enjoy fucking shit up given the chance (though it's usually harmless. haha. usually... /hj)

BIGGEST WEAKNESS: cannot stop substituting in anime boys' names for their own. and it's like, almost always Really obvious (ex: tanjirou, katsuki, s....sasu--//dies). also will never talk about their feelings ever

-

YAMADA YUZURU!!!! (he/him)

I think you can already figure out his whole character from just this one image. Yuzuru’s wardrobe is composed of almost entirely black, shapeless clothes. When it comes to fashion, he just wants to look like a formless black blob. He’s very bored all the time, so he likes to start shit himself or enable what Miya does. He doesn’t care for his grades at all, either.

BIGGEST WEAKNESS: does not know what the fuck a “self-care” is. kid are you ok???? you’re like 5

oh yeah also they’re all like. 13~14ish! they all live rent free in my head and i like ‘em a lot... idiot best friends who maybe h*ld h*nds sometimes. AGAIN AAHHHH THANK YOU SM FOR ASKING!!!!!! ILY <3333333

[spring-emerald]

of dates and fame

 To say that Moniwa is excited would be an understatement. He’s thrilled and is really looking forward to his date with Ushijima.

It’s been a while since they’ve gone on a proper date, what with his boyfriend being a dedicated world class volleyball player that he is. They’ve been enduring for a few years now since Ushijima is busy with his year-round training while Moniwa is finishing his Master’s thesis.

This year is a little kinder to them, because it’s a home court exhibition game, which means Ushijima gets to stay in Miyagi around Valentine’s and Moniwa is already happy at the prospect of being able to spend it together after months of being separated.

He fluffs his stylishly messed-up curls in front of his wardrobe mirror and fixes his glasses for good measure then smiles, satisfied with how he looks, but before he can grab his phone, wallet and keys, the doorbell rings.

“Wha- Toshi… what are you doing here?” He says, opening the door wider, surprised and confused to find his boyfriend at his doorstep.

“Good evening, Kaname.” Ushijima greets, hands behind his back. “May I come in?”

“Uh, yeah,” Moniwa says, stepping aside to let Ushijima in, and with a quick glance outside, he notes that it was snowing lightly. “I thought we’re going to meet at the station.” Not that he didn’t want to see Ushijima sooner, but he didn’t get any messages about a change of plans.

Ushijima coughs, ducking his head a little, making the puff ball of the beanie bounce. “I wanted to surprise you,” he says with a light blush. “Here,” he takes his hands from where he’s hiding it and presents Moniwa with a small bouquet of assorted flowers wrapped in a bright yellow wrapping paper and a box of what seems to be an expensive brand of chocolate, if going by its foreign name written in fancy cursive lettering.

Moniwa gasps, melts at the thought and giddily grins up at him. “Thank you! You didn’t have to!” He takes the gifts but not before pushing himself up to his tippy toes to give Ushijima a kiss on the cheek. “We’re still going out, right?”

“Yeah. If you still want to.”

“I want to! It’s been a while since we went out. I’ll just put these away, alright.”

Ushijima nods and busies himself by getting Moniwa’s coat, scarf and the matching puff ball beanie, a gift from Tendou to the both of them for Christmas two years ago from the rack while Moniwa keeps the chocolate in the refrigerator and finds a suitable vase for the flowers. Once that is done, they head out.

Moniwa feels like he’s floating because finally, something is working out for them. He’s so happy and so grateful that they’ve been given this chance and he thinks that nothing can bring him down from his elated mood.  

---

The thing is, maybe they should’ve stayed in, after all.

Moniwa really wanted to go out with his boyfriend, but he’s also forgotten that his boyfriend, because of his prowess in the sport, enjoys a certain degree of fame, what with the endorsements and commercials he’s done for various products. So, while he’s not exactly ‘celebrity superstar’ famous, he’s well known enough for people to take a second look, and even ask for pictures.  

The walk from Moniwa’s apartment to the train station had been fine. It’s a short walk but they were able to update each other about what’s been going on in their respective lives, ones they forgot to mention over texts or calls. The train ride had went the same fashion, though Ushijima had started getting lingering looks, but it could easily be assumed that it’s because of his height, so that’s nothing out of the ordinary.

The central district is a different matter altogether.

Moniwa thought that since it’s basically a date night for all kinds of couples, the two of them walking around like every other couple would be just barely a blip in the radar, nothing out of the ordinary, because majority of the people on the streets would only care for their respective partners, right?

Wrong.

Maybe it’s because there’s actually a small poster of Ushijima holding a bottle of health drink he’s currently endorsing posted on the window of one of the convenience stores and his image is basically in the forefront of everyone’s mind and it’s not enough that he’s getting attention because he’s tall, but because he’s tall and recognizable as the Ace of Schweiden Adlers and a member of Japan’s Olympic team, but it seems like everyone and their mothers decided that today, of all days, they would recognize who he is, put a name on his face and they can’t seem to move to the next block without someone stopping them on their way.

It’s cute, the first few times that someone’s boyfriend, urged by their girlfriend, hesitantly approach them with an equally hesitant question of “Excuse me, are you Ushijima Wakatoshi? Of the Adlers?” in which Ushijima graciously nods and answers with a soft “Yes” and proceeds to do what a good, famous personality does- agree to give them an autograph and have a selfie with them. Moniwa politely stepped aside to let them have their moment, and was even really impressed with how Ushijima is handling this impromptu meeting with some fans.

But then it keeps happening. Even some of the patrons that were eating in the restaurant, for lack of kinder word, disturbed them, just to have a piece of Ushijima. Moniwa can feel his patience thinning and his mood sinking, but he covers it up and tried to focus on the positives instead. They’re together this Valentine’s and they’re having a date, and it’s not good form to spend it sulking because he can’t handle his boyfriend being famous.

It was difficult, but Moniwa tried.

It’s not until one group of college girls, probably on their way to a group date or something, had been bold (read: the audacity) to ask Moniwa to take a photo of them. It’s a good things that he’d already eaten, so he’s not as cranky, so it was fine with him, really. They were a large group, and with someone as tall as Ushijima to include in the picture, they would need an outsider’s assistance.

But when he returns her phone, she had the gall to give it back and asked to have it taken again because she wasn’t quite satisfied with how the first one came out.

Moniwa swallows his frustration down and tried hard to keep his voice from cracking as he counts down before he presses the capture button rather harshly. It took all of him to give the phone back as gently as he could. He doesn’t know what he’ll do if she demands him to take another one again. Thankfully, she was finally satisfied, and after a few more minutes of gushing and fangirling, they finally leave them.

Unfortunately, Moniwa’s already in bad mood. But he doesn’t want to ruin this night any more than it already is, so he settles for pulling the thick, knitted scarf over his mouth to hide his pout and muffle the sniffles that he’s unable to keep at bay.

Despite the distance, Ushijima is more attuned to Moniwa’s behavior and tells and knows that something is off. He stops walking then and stands in front of his boyfriend.

“Kaname? What’s wrong?”

Moniwa vehemently shakes his head, making the falling snow flurry in disarray around him.

“Kaname,” he says, taking Moniwa’s face between his large hands and tilting it up to make him look at him. “You’re hiding and crying, it’s not nothing.”

“It’s silly,” is Moniwa’s muffled response, avoiding Ushijima’s gaze.

Ushijima lets go of his face, takes a look around and finds a bench. He takes one of Moniwa’s glove-covered hands and leads him there.

“Hey,” he starts when they’re both settled down, squeezing their hands tight. “Please talk to me.”

Moniwa huffs, but decides to be truthful. He tells Ushijima how he’d been looking forward to their date and the prospect of spending time together, but people just had to keep interrupting them, that he can’t completely enjoy their date. “I’m sorry. I don’t want to feel like this, and I’m not blaming you, it’s just that… I can’t help it. I missed you so much and I don’t know when we can do this again, and it’s really frustrating that something like this happened.”

Ushijima pulls him and wraps him in a tight hug. “I didn’t know. I thought it was alright. I’m sorry, Kaname.”

“It’s not your fault,” Moniwa mumbles against his shoulder, wrapping his own arms around Ushijima as well.

Ushijima shakes his head. “I know, but I should’ve been more sensitive and mindful. It’s our time together, after all. I’ll do better next time.”

Moniwa nods. “Thank you.”

Ushijima presses a kiss on his cheek. “Do you want to go home?”

“Yes.”

Suffice to say, Moniwa’s in a better mood when they return to his apartment.

Ushijima kept his word and politely declined a fan asking for his autograph, proudly saying that he’s spending private time with his boyfriend. Moniwa had been apprehensive, especially when the fan looks at him and their intertwined hands. But he exhales in relief when they apologized for disturbing them and leaves them alone after sincerely wishing them a lovely Valentine’s evening.

To express his appreciation, Moniwa pulls Ushijima down by his scarf to give him a loving kiss while Ushijima’s hands find their home on Moniwa’s hips.

“Can you stay the night, Toshi?” Moniwa whispers against Ushijima’s lips.

“Of course.”

Heidi I’m gonna be frank with you if I had the cinfidence to wear dresses or cute otufits w/ semi-long hair, that’d be so ideal for me. It’d also all be either dresses or short sleeve shirts, probably! I cannot STAND long sleeve shirts!!!

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why? 

Madoka Kaname, if I was a kin, I’d be kin with her, she solidified my transition into a kinder person and is probably why I have such an affinity for pink, just the fact she never gives up hope and the entire message of the last episode resonated with me so much, sob.

maize - share the weirdest encounter you’ve had with a stranger on the street. 

When I was walking home from school this fucking weirdo from my school tried striking a conversation with me, to dissuade him I grabbed a giant branch and dragged it behind me like Pyramid Head’s great knife and I think that was enough to get him to leave me alone

cobweb - (if you’ve graduated) do you miss high school? 

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Was boxed in, people gave me weird looks, and the stress of homework nearly unmade me

cinnamon - if you had to live in a time period different than the present, which would you choose and where? 

The future probably, so I could live forever as a program or a robot and so I wouldn’t have to worry about outliving my friends ;v;

ou may have heard of the term “Wardrobing.” The word is used for the act of buying an outfit, wearing it and returning it after. A lot of people do it—it’s a rising trend, and most fashion brands struggle with how to handle it.

Not DIESEL though, which introduces its new Fall campaign, aptly called “Enjoy Before Returning”: a playful, nonconformist stance on this controversial topic. Rather than condemning wardrobing, the brand comes to terms with it. If shoppers are going to buy, wear and return an item anyway, why not fully enjoy it in the process?

To illustrate DIESEL’s point of view on wearing and returning, the campaign’s photographs and videos have been shot and directed by photographer Angelo Pennetta.

Penetta’s imagery lenses wardrobers wearing DIESEL’s new Fall collection, along with watches and eyewear products. All of the items—including separate watch still-life visuals shot by the photographer Roberto Badin—share the common thread of “wearing the tag out.”

Lolita Tea Party, Makes People's Hearts Move

The tea party is almost good to go.

The tea is hot and ready, and the bite-sized sandwiches and dessert treats are now laid out. The cups are arranged neatly on the table and the pixies did a good job on the folded napkins. Everything is ready for Mimi and Rize’s arrival.

Aside from their lovely host, it seems.

Kaname looks at her dresser, still unsure of what to wear for this month’s party. She’s already worn her favorite dresses and it’s a habit of hers to not wear the same thing twice. But none of her favorites even fit today’s occasion.

She shifts further into her closet but finds nothing good for the occasion. The pixies soon find her waist-deep inside her grand closet, searching for that one dress that will complete the whole tea party.

“Um, mistress?” one of the pixies says. Kaname makes a grunting noise that almost sounds like a muffled ‘Yes?’ “The guests are here.”

Kaname jolts and crawls from her closet. Her hair is now tousled across her face while her underdress is bunched up and wrinkled. She tries to smoothen it out and fix her hair back on its place.

“I’ll be there shortly,” she says. “Tell them that they can partake in some biscuits while they wait.”

“Yes, mistress,” the pixies say before they return to the tea party.

All alone, Kaname faces her wardrobe with a disgruntled sigh. While a good dress is important in any tea party, being an accommodating host is far more important. So she just pulls a regular long-sleeved shirt and skirt and settles for a mediocre outfit for the day.

* * *

Rize glances from her teacup to Kaname, who’s sitting quietly and sipping her tea at the front of the table. Meanwhile, Mimi is staring shamelessly with a confused look on her face, as if saying ‘Are you looking at this?’ The pixies hover above them, looking uncomfortable. Rize wishes that she can spare them from this weird awkward tension.

“How are you liking the tea so far?” Kaname asks.

Mimi still can’t speak, so Rize answers instead. “It’s good, as always,” she says but stops herself as she decides whether to address the elephant in the room or not. “You look very…tame today.”

“You mean underdressed?” Mimi finally speaks.

“Mimi!” Rize says, but Kaname shakes her head and shushes her.

“It’s alright, Rize. I do admit I’m overly undressed, if there’s such a word for it,” Kaname explains. “It’s just… I think I’ve run out of good dresses to wear for our tea parties. I don’t even know what to wear for this month’s party.”

Mimi smiles. “Oh, Kaname, it’s all the matter of patterns. You just need to miss and match the patterns of your dresses with the parties,” she explains. “Though it works if you have a lot of good pattern-printed dresses.”

“You can always get more from lolitain.com,” Rize adds. “Hm, I think I know which dress would fit you for this occasion.”

With a snap of her fingers, Kaname’s outfit changes to a pink Lolita dress with an Alice in the Wonderland print. It’s soft to the touch and decorated with lace and bows, quite fitting to the theme of this month and Kaname’s style. Kaname twirls her skirt.

“It looks so cute on you!” Rize swoons, but Mimi has a look on her face that tells otherwise.

“It’s good, good, but not quite enough,” Mimi says. She waves her hand and another dress replaces the other one.

Now, Kaname is wearing a black and red Lolita dress with a black corset-style top with a lace choker. The skirt is decorated with red frills and print patterns of cute animals wearing Victorian-style dresses. While the previous dress is cute and soft, this dress is bold and alluring. Rize even tops the whole get-up with a red bow in Kaname’s hair.

Mimi nods appreciatively at Kaname’s outfit. “It brings out your eyes,”

Rize doesn’t look convinced. She stares at Kaname’s dress before her eyes light up and she turns to Mimi. Mimi doesn’t get what Rize is trying to say, but then her eyes light up as well. They snap their fingers at the same time and Kaname’s dress changes at one final time.

Now, Kaname is wearing a blue frill Lolita dress with a printed pattern of colorful assorted hats and accessories. While the dress is simple in its design, it is topped with neat stitching and ribbon bows – Kaname’s favorite. Kaname takes a look at her dress and feels the softness of its skirt.

“It’s perfect!” Kaname says. “Thank you.”

Rize beams at her while Mimi gives a brief grin before sipping her tea.

The rest of the tea party goes well, now that the missing piece of the party is complete.
