What if we're all the comic relief?

please don't forget to check in on the 'comic relief' friend in the friend group. even though they always seem to have a quip or goof on the ready, they might be going through something and it can be hard to tell. always remind your silly friends how much they mean to you 💗

something about ships between a sunny blonde haired guy and someone with hair covering one eye and a darkness motif

and vise versa!!

I like the idea of beys being very confusing to people who come from a place with like actual magic

I was very tempted to do some extra doodles of Marius and Sakyo in each others outfits also bc they have the same main color palette. and maybe some maskless and/or hair down lethicas. I might have to get around to that at some point I don��t think I’m done with this idea yet

+ some extra doodles below, ft older takasakyo in the new design outfits

I wanted to do Sakyo with his hair up like lethica so aged up takasakyo make their appearance once again <3 and then the goobers with pointy ears bc I like em a lot <333

if you’ve made it here, you get the bonus bonus! BEYS I THINK LETHICUS WOULD HAVE BECAUSE IM INSANE!!!!

is it cheap and lazy for me to give Marius an exact bey that already exists? Yes, however it fits so I get a pass I think. Pre-metamorphosis Marius would have Sol Blaze and post-metamorphosis I could see Fang Libra

Lethica was a little harder but my brain has come up with a Dark Nemesis to Death Noctua (<- side note: google search tells me that noctua isnt like an officially recognized constellation or whatever but noctua is a badass name and there isn’t an existing owl bey so I don’t got any better ideas)

Models Who Are Not Naturals (Kibbe)

We know that the modelling industry is dominated by FNs/Flamboyant Naturals since clothes are made for a rectangular frame and not customized to the curves and contours of a specific body. Models who are frame dominant are preferred because they can advertise the clothes as they are instead of having it tailored to fit them.But all of that aside, I thought it'll be interesting to find models who do not have a typical FN build.

Keep in mind that almost all the women mentioned below are over 5'7 and with Kibbe's height restrictions in mind, at that height, only a few IDs are possible (SD, D, FN). Since this is a post about models who aren't FN, this list will largely feature Ds & SDs.

For context, this is a typical FN build. Cindy Crawford is a verified FN. She has broad shoulders, a square torso and an overall athletic build. FNs are likely to have an inverted triangle like frame.

Adriana Lima, Dramatic

She's 178cm and thus has automatic vertical. Her overall body is very sharp and angular, she does not have an athletic build or physique. She's just long and sharp?? if that makes sense

2. Stephanie Seymour, SD

90s Victoria Secret models were often SDs, voluptuous and curvy and Stephanie is a great example of it. Its only in the 2000s & since that FNs began to dominate the modelling industry.

She has double curve and has a fleshy, curvy physique.

3. Miranda Kerr, Dramatic

Her physique is so similar to Adriana's. Very long torso's, sharp limbs and angular

4. Laetitia Casta- SD

Her bustline and hips are curved which is what is meant by double curve. So she looks softer and rounder. Her yang comes from her height

5. Tyra Banks- SD

6. Karen Mulder- D

Longer torso, longer overall body, very sharp and angular looking

7. Heidi Klum- Dramatic

8. Helena Christensen- SD

9. Ming Xi, D

10. Chanel Iman is a FN but I'm including her anyway because she can easily be mistyped as an SD or something

11. Irina Shayk, Dramatic

12. Eva Herzigova, SD

13. Rania Benchegra, SD

14. Kaia Gerber, FN (i know she seems like a Dramatic but she's a Natural all thru)

15. Kate Moss, Flamboyant Gamine

16. Devon Aoki, Flamboyant Gamine

17. Chloe Sevigny, Flamboyant Gamine

18. Anok Yai, Pure Dramatic

19. Adut Akech, underweight SD

20. Emily Ratajkowski, Flamboyant Gamine

21. Chrissy Teigen, SD

22. Camille Rowe, Soft Gamine

23. Adwoa Aboah, Flamboyant Gamine

24. Agyness Deyn, Dramatic Classic

25. Joan Smalls, Dramatic

26. Milla Jovovich, DC

27. Sasha Pivovarova, Dramatic Classic

28. Amber Valletta, Dramatic Classic

29. Candice Swanepoel, underweight SD

Extremely important and necessary topic: is Gerard Way a Lestat boy or Armand boy? Who is his favorite character?

[flymmsy]

Literally had no idea about the Franc Peartree changes because I always wait before updating my game (because modding), so this is extremely disappointing news.

I’m happy there’s already a mod to restore it but I’m just like…why? Why make that change?

[mysteryampharos]

Tell us about your favorite character?

i really love dusknoir and ampharos from the pokemon mystery dungeon series, but after playing Rainworld, i can wholeheardtedly say that the base game + downpour made five pebbles into one of my all-time favorite characters! i was gonna avoid spoilers, but ill inevitably speak about it, so ill just do two spoiler-free paragraphs first! and then go insane

for half of the campaigns in the game, i was his BIGGEST hater. i think the order you play certain campaigns in probably affects how you feel about certain characters, and boy, my choice of sequence was NOT doing him any favors. he was like a catalyst to speed up the decay of the dying world, both when it came to the enviroment itself, and other characters. he had without fail harmed all but one character he interacted with by that point.

and then. . i played the last two campaigns. with a few pearl reading sessions prior to going through them, the closer i got to finishing the game, the more my thoughts on him changed. granted, the game DID give me enough clues, but it wasnt until getting to see what happened in these campaigns that his character clicked for me. five pebbles is a surprisingly tragic character, and the dlc makes an excellent use of him to weave a beautiful narrative together with Looks to the Moon. words cannot describe how incredible and life-changing playing this game felt. (spoilers below the cut! dont read if you haven't finished rivulet and saint's campaign)

five pebbles is a rat in a cage. he tried everything he thought of to try and find an escape to the eternal life the ancients condemned the iterators to, and he did succeed in killing an iterator.

it just wasn't him.

so moon dies and is left in a worser state than ever before after being 'revived' by hunter, and now he has a ticking time bomb in the form of The Rot spreading through his superstructure and the garbage wastes like a cancerous plague. he keeps himself cut off from all and any means of contact and with the exception of artificer, is somewhat hostile to the slugcats.

it takes rivulet's campaign, where the rot has almost entirely overtaken most of the can, that his attitude changes. he is still the same as before, but much more. . sorrowful, regretful. at this point in the game, he and moon switch places: he falls deeper and deeper to disrepair while moon starts restoring her functions and communications. he's forced to sit still during rivu's campaign, but otherwise, five pebbles is largely fine when it comes to his neurons or mind.

so when i told you i cried during saint's campaign.

it was already customary. every single campaign after monk, i'd beeline for five pebbles, seeing as he was always involved somehow. so, i climb up chimney canopy as i always do to get to him through the wall, and: there it is. the infamous room

the entire right section connecting to his superstructure is gone. not even damaged or anything: it's completely vanished. and the game makes sure you feel dread the moment you see this. already, not a good sing: but hey! maybe that just fell like the underhang did. theres still another path to go through.

i hate shaded citadel, but its the only other way i know how to get there. still, i took a detour to moon first before going there, since i knew shoreline had a gate! i visited her, and was on my merry way. . until i get to the gate. something is off right away.

the path is different. sure, that's normal in this campaign, but it wasnt like the overgrowth or other snowy areas: the entire structure of the area. . was very different. its like something crushed in. the deeper i go toward the gate, the more confused and conflicted i get. i cross the gate, and the name shows up on the screen..

Silent Construct.

its like things clicked for me a second time, and it was at that point i paused the game just to think about it for a few seconds. Five Pebbles' superstructure collapsed and crushed the ENTIRETY of Shaded Citadel. the only sign of life left was a weird combination of wildlife from the exterior and shaded citadel itself, with barely any rot left. this was both one of the highlights of the whole game to me, and one of the most emotional. theres 100% gonna be echoes here, so im gonna go ahead and look for that: but five pebbles is priority.

this is one of the most interesting regions in the game to me. maybe not the most fun (I HATE THIS GAME'S SPIDER ENEMIES SO MUCH) but thematically and symbolically? second best region. i dedicated half of the time i had that sunday just to find him, and sure enough..

he is in a state even worser than how moon was when she fell to disrepair. a supercomputer degraded to a barely sentient puppet who can't remember much of anything. the only thing that remains is the music pearl hes playing, and if the player wants to,

you can take that away from him too.

is downpour canon? i don't know nor remember! will i consider it canon regardless because this was one of the greatest gaming and life experiences ive ever had? you fucking BET. i love you five pebbles im sorry for calling you a littlebitch when we first met

[youremyheaven]

hiii your explanations are so succinct and easy to spot. may i ask from your pov what the difference is between SD, FN and SN? like, i have a really hard time telling them apart on not extremely athletic or curvy women & i wonder if you could give some examples & what the main visual cues could be?

Moderate sized people are harder to type, I agree. The people who are easiest to type are those who are extreme examples of their own ID. But since there's 8 billion people on this planet, there's going to be a lot of variety and diversity and people who look like a mix of several things.

The easiest way to identify a Natural type (SN or FN) is by looking for width. Now "width" is the most misunderstood Kibbe term of all time. But it's really not that complicated at all.

(Left: Julia Roberts, verified FN

Right: Kat Dennings, verified SN)

Both these women are Natural types and when you look at them, you do not register them as "curvy". You just see their frame. They do not look "voluptuous" in any way. Nothing on their body stands out. Not their breasts or their hips. Especially with Kat, who is known for having a large bust, you can't see them at all in the above dress.

However, while Julia looks visibly tall and "strong" with her shoulders, arms and body, Kat looks more soft and visibly shorter. They are FN and SN respectively.

(Left: Jennifer Lawrence, verified FN

Right: Sofia Vergara, verified SD)

Compare these two looks. Both of them are wearing strapless gowns that show no cleavage. Yet, you can just tell that Sofia is voluptuous. By looking at her body, even when its fully covered, Sofia's breasts and hips are very pronounced and prominent. This is what is meant by "double curve" or "curve accomodation". Her body's structure itself is curved so its visible through her outfit.

Whereas with JLaw, even though she has a moderately big bust, you cant really tell with this outfit. Again, nothing on her body stands out in any way. You can only see her frame.

(Left: Jane Fonda, verified SN

Right: Brooke Shields, verified FN)

Again, the shape of their body does not stand out in these form fitting dresses. Their mid-section looks "wide"; they do not have a small defined waist. They are both Naturals. However Jane looks shorter and "softer" than Brooke, hence she's an SN. Brooke has strong shoulders, arms and visibly looks very tall and strong. She has a typical supermodel build. She is an FN.

now lets compare these two

Christina Hendricks is a verified SD & ScarJo is a verified SN

Even though both of them have covered their bust, its very obvious with Christina that she has big breasts. The shape of her bust and hips stands out, accentuated by her small defined waist.

Meanwhile with ScarJo, nothing on her body stands out and you cant really tell that she's busty.

There are many Natural types who have big breasts but you can't tell they do unless they go out of their way to show some cleavage. A curve dominant type (R/TR/SD) does not have to do this because their curves break the line of their frame and are thus, very prominent.

when she shows cleavage, its apparent that ScarJo has big breasts but when she doesn't, you can't tell at all if she has big breasts or not.

(L to R)

Doris Day, verified SN

Cameron Diaz, verified FN

Anita Ekberg, verified SD

by looking at their faces you can tell that they all give off very different vibes.

Doris has a very sweet harmonious face where no individual feature stands out. She looks like the nice girl in class who you could borrow a pen from.

Cameron has a more badass-esque look, so she looks tougher than Doris. All her features are very balanced tho. She looks like a model or like someone who you could cast in an action movie.

Anita has a bigger nose and lips, long eye shape, a strong jaw. All her features are slightly bigger, sharper and more prominent. She looks like she's about to seduce you. She also looks older and more womanly.

Doris has Natural, Classic essence

Cameron has Romantic, Natural & Classic essence

Anita has Romantic & Dramatic essence

Thoughts on TXT’s Paris Fashion Week Debut (Dior Men FW2024)

TXT made their Paris Fashion Week debut at the Dior Men FW2024 show!

Taehyun mentioned in their livestream that they were wearing custom outfits for the show and I say that’s how you should treat your brand ambassadors!!

Wearing house-sponsored outfits to fashion week is a fairly common practice but it’s nice to know that Dior Men went and had custom outfits made for them instead of just loaning them outfits straight from the collections.

Before I dive into each of their outfits, I wanted to touch briefly on the Dior Men FW2024 collection for some context. 

According to the Vogue writeup, Dior Men’s artistic director, Kim Jones, drew inspiration from both the onstage and offstage life of Rudolf Nureyev, a celebrated male ballet dancer. The collection begins with more casual outfits with their shorts and ballet-inspired shoes, then we make our way to their more business-appropriate suits, and Dior Men’s first(?) ever attempt at couture.

I must say that the more dramatic looks from their FW2024 collection were such a sight to behold, with all the drapery, cutouts, and embellishments. There were a few pieces that I think would work quite well for TXT but I’ll save that discussion for another time. For now, let’s talk about their PFW looks!

While I really appreciate how their outfits are all custom, I do still think that TXT’s branding and that of Dior Men isn’t exactly the best. Having TXT make their PFW debut during a time where Dior Men is injecting a little more youthful elements into their work is welcome but overall, the partnership just seems like a mismatch (especially when they wear full outfits), IMO. It feels like a bit of a letdown to see how bulky-looking and swallowed up by fabric most of the members seem to be. Hueningkai, Yeonjun, and Beomgyu in particular look so overwhelmed by their outfits in their photos. In motion/videos however, their outfits do look a little better. The boys mentioned that their outfits were very comfortable. I think that is more evident in videos than in stills! There is a softness and flow in their outfits that don’t seem to translate as well in stills. Unfortunately, most of us are only ever going to see them in these outfits through still photographs so it’s a bummer that it doesn’t highlight them enough.

Not to be a total soobrangdan or anything, but I think Soobin’s outfit was the most flattering of the bunch.

I’ve mentioned before how I think Soobin could be a Soft Dramatic in the Kibbe system, meaning his lines are largely yang (think long, large, angular, sharp) with a yin undercurrent (think small, soft, rounded, curved). Under the Kibbe system, it is thought that outfits that mimic your body’s natural lines are most “harmonious,” and this outfit helps illustrate that!

For starters, the tonal dressing helps to draw attention to how long he is, as there are minimal distractions to what is essentially a column of color. It appears as though their might be a very fine print/pattern to his clothing but these details are quite small/faint and well within the same color family as his suit so the streamlined look is maintained.

The wrap style cut of his suit is also flattering for him as a Soft Dramatic as it adds a touch of yin to what could have been a very boxy suit. The large collar detail, the singular button, and the ruffle details around his neck and wrists add visual interest to his look, and also help to draw out his softer features!

They could have very well just gone for a plain turtleneck for this look and it would have worked out alright. But by going for a ruffled detail in a lighter fabric, it elevated the look even more and was able to balance out the power dressing look by providing the touches of softness that his Soft Dramatic frame calls for. 

I suppose my only real gripe about this look would have been the color, as it appears to be a little too light for his personal colors. A cooler or richer color palette would have made this perfect! 

On the topic of colors, I love these colors on Hueningkai! A softer color palette really does make him shine and the pop of bright blue was just enough so as not to distract from his features.

I am feeling a bit conflicted about his coat though. It seems oversized but also not oversized enough. I think if the coat were longer and the collar details were larger, it would have been more flattering on him, as his frame would be able to pull it off!

I suspect Kai to be a potential Flamboyant Natural, which is characterized by blunt yang. The gray coat is about knee length on him, which is relatively long so it still helps to draw attention to his long frame. But when coupled with the light brown pants and the cream/white shoes, his body is visually cut up into three parts and in odd proportions at that.

Flamboyant Naturals are among the Kibbe types that look most at home in relaxed silhouettes, and I think this is where their partnership with Dior could be a mismatch since Dior leans towards very structured, boxy silhouettes. While Kai’s outfit is a little more relaxed for Dior’s standards, it feels a bit too plain and safe for him. 

I haven’t seen any photos or clips of Kai at Fashion Week with his coat open but I think that might have helped too in terms of making the outfit more “relaxed” to suit his blunt yang, as we would be able to see the fabric move around and create different shapes that would have added more visual interest (see how Nicholas Hoult’s open coat and hand in pocket pose gives off a more relaxed vibe). These little styling tweaks could really make a difference.

Moving down the line, we have Yeonjun who is dressed in what looks to be a deep purple version of Soobin’s outfit.

I’ve been back and forth about what Yeonjun’s Kibbe type could be. He definitely is some Yang type but I couldn’t decide if he’s a very slim Flamboyant Natural or perhaps a (Soft) Dramatic? 

As a Yang type, again the tonal dressing approach really helps to highlight his long frame. However, his suit doesn’t seem to fit him as well as Soobin’s does. This is now making me think that he could potentially be a Flamboyant Natural too, as this style of clothing appears to be restrictive on his frame (even in videos), rather than highlighting it.

The ruffled neckline and gauzy fabric of his shirt, while more “relaxed” in comparison to his suit, looks to be a bit too delicate for his frame too. Either a heavier fabric or less frills could have worked better with his lines, as it seems to be distracting from him in this case. On the topic of relaxed lines, his hairstyling for the Dior after party seemed to suit him more. It has volume and structure and it frames his face quite nicely.

I also still think that Yeonjun might be flattered more by lighter colors. In natural light, the suit’s colors don’t seem as deep as they do in these red carpet photos but he seems visually weighed down by the darkness of his outfit, imo. Or perhaps they wanted him to take on a more mature image for their PFW debut. Who knows?

Like I’ve said earlier, their outfits look better in motion. When in still photographs, Beomgyu’s coat swallows him up.

Standing at six feet tall, Beomgyu has vertical. However, in comparison to the first three members, his frame is more delicate, and he has some rounded features. Given those, I think Beomgyu could potentially be a Soft Classic Kibbe type. With this Kibbe type, clean and simple lines with a touch of softness would be most harmonious. 

Hueningkai shared during their livestream that he and Beomgyu have similar outfits but notice how differently it falls on Beomgyu.

While this outfit has fairly simple lines, the oversized sleeves are a bit much on his slender frame. He could benefit from a coat that had a tad more structure, particularly around the shoulders, or if it were a slimmer fit instead of an oversized one.

Now, the majority of the outfit’s colors do suit Beomgyu, the pink sweater is rather distracting for an Autumn type like him. It’s much too cool and bright for his complexion, imo. It also takes some attention away from his vertical as it breaks up his body. Although it is visually interesting to combine the bright pink with deeper brown pieces, it just wasn’t the most flattering combination on him.

Taehyun’s outfit looks cozy but out of place for an event like Paris Fashion Week, especially when you place him beside the rest of his members who have at least two layers to their outfits for more visual interest.

I haven’t really figured out what Taehyun’s Kibbe type could be yet but am leaning towards the possibility of Dramatic Classic for him, as his proportions are moderate but he has rather angular facial features. That said, he is still a little too young to be typing and it’s possible he could be growing in his other features as he grows older.

Working under the assumption of being a Dramatic Classic though, this outfit would then be a little too yin for his type. While the fabric lends the touch of yang he needs (the texture makes me think of denim somehow), the shape of the sweater is noticeably rounded and the color blocking visually cuts up his body whereas a more tonal palette could have honored his vertical better. Even his hair is rather soft and floppy for his type. A shorter cut with sharper edges tends to flatter him better.

Depending on the lighting, his top appears a little more muted, which is flattering for him, as I think he could also be an Autumn type. While Autumn types tend to pull off browns, this particular shade appears a little too light on him. A deeper shade of brown like Beomgyu’s coat could have worked better for his complexion, imo.

Overall I think it’s a huge boost and testament to TXT’s popularity that they got to attend Paris Fashion Week as a brand ambassador but so far, I’d think that their partnership has produced a few more misses than hits, especially in terms of red carpet attire.

But like I’ve said at the beginning, there were a few looks from the Dior Men FW2024 collection that looked to fit TXT’s image a bit more, and as they already have a history of getting custom outfits from the brand, maybe we’ll end up seeing TXT in couture pieces too? Or at least one can dream so!

If you’ve made it to the end, thank you so much for reading!! Would love to hear your thoughts about their red carpet looks or anything TXT and fashion-related so leave a comment or reblog to share them with me!

can i be honest. my fave het ship dynamics are always ones where like the woman is probably autistic and the man is a liar but in a flamboyant way
