#HOW DO YOU PUT PANTS AROUND A PATAGIUM

[nomsfaultau]

Daily ask №11

Clothes and aesthetics edition!

Assuming that there are clothes in each size yes even for the Blade, he can finally wear pants if he wants.

Which aesthetic/style does each character actually wear?

Which aesthetic/style would each character prefer if actually given the info on how each style looks and stuff. As in no you can't just say that the character doesn't know what an aesthetic is and move on. Or well you can but maybe don't please

Okay, now that that's established, what style would absolutely not fit each character's vibes or personality but would fit their appearance?

Boom the crew now has to wear clothes that you're currently wearing/that you wear often. How do they react?

Boom Wilbur, Tommy, the Blade, Phil and Tubbo are now wearing these outfits in the respective order (images below). Yay or nay? (WITHOUT GLOVES OR COLLARS OR ANYTHING THEY'RE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH)

(I couldn't find an outfit for the Blade and I wanted to put someone in lolita-esque fashion just for the funsies)

(Hope Jasmine will like this one. Also those are shorts that look like a skirt not just a skirt. It still swirls like a skirt though)

A lot of the fashion decisions in Fault are decided by MC skins, what's practical for their biology, and what they could steal/make. That said, let's dig in!

1.The Blade might go for some shorts mayyybe if it was on the table, but he doesn’t like the sensory sensation of fabric that rubs his fur the wrong way. Especially doesn’t like anything that covers his mane too, so not a shirt guy either but he will go for a shawl or a sash. The rest of his fashion is mostly built on 1. He had to make all his clothes 2. He can’t sew bc hooves 3. Nerd. So he goes for more Ancient Greece drip (like the famous look since upper class v actual every day garb is different), modified chitons and togas and general drapery in order to have clothing he doesn’t need to sew. Once he ran into Phil he could get proper tailor services (his college friends didn’t have adult life skills) but actually doubled down on Grecian wear bc he’s still a nerd and Philza had actual real life expertise. Later on when The Blade and Tubbo get along better, Tubbo actually stitches pretty patterns into his shawls since Rosalind is a quilter and well there’s a lot of sitting around doing nothing while Tubbo is carried from place to place.

Tommy legit just likes the raglan sleeve look, and Tubbo totally teases him in chapter 10 about having the fashion sense of a 8 year old baseball fan. I think in chapter 18 he’s wearing one of Rosalind’s shirts. It doesn’t have shoulders since he’s way broader than her and that’s the only way it would fit. It’s too small and has little butterflies on it. Though presumably Wilbur stole a wardrobe closer to size once they got out on the road. He also wears Rosalind’s white jacket and Red has stained the sleeves, which in a roundabout way mimics ctommys skin. He prefers to have sleeves to limit Red contamination. Cargo pants always and forever, with a bunch of random crap thrown in all the pockets.

Philza has vaults hidden over the earth filled with random crap he’s picked up over the years. He has like 80 of the exact same outfit tailored to his anatomy that are like centuries old. It mimics his MC skin, though has been modified. His patagium attachments cover a lot more of his back than how Tubbos’ wings attach, so he tends to have backless shirts that tie/button at the neck and waist.His jacket has slits for the patagium and a panel that runs between the middle and buttons at the waist to cover his back. The floppy hat is also specially made to fit around his curvy horns. Urahara bleach was based off the mangaka glimpsing Phil once. Canon canon trust.

In the past I’ve described Wilbur’s style as e-boy x academia x homeless and made a helpful diagram. Wilbur is of the opinion a man only needs three shirts. One to wear while the second is being washed, and a third because he believes in luxury. Usually it has an undershirt and a sweater over since wearing two shirts at once means more luggage space, and Wilbur tends to run cold course of the void. Always long sleeved because it’s learned that humans notice heavy scarring and it tries to draw as little attention as possible when robbing people. Eventually it steals a trench coat mostly because you can fit a lot of stolen stuff in the pockets. Secretly Wilbur thinks it looks really cool tho. His ripped black jeans aren’t a fashion statement, the void just keeps trying to eat them and black hides weirder stains. Not a shorts guy, since beyond showing more scars the legs probably look horrific when distorting his height. The pants do change in length somehow. He currently doesn’t have glasses but needs them, and as a kid would tie a lens on in a makeshift monocle because one eye and the glasses would cover the void and probably get eaten. It used to have fingerless gloves, but those went missing after Wil found out about Tommy’s trigger.

Tubbo has shorts for obvious reasons, and low back cuts to fit their wings, usually of women’s sweaters since that’s the easier style it’s in. They wouldn’t wear shoes even if they had feet. Eventually they wear one of Philza’s jackets that are specially made for wings. They start wearing a ponytail bc it’s habit for Rosalind, and Tommy says it makes them look like a dandelion. I think they don’t try to cover up completely because skin holes are how a lot of bees come in and out, but also Tubbo really hates the cold after it nearly killed them as a kid. I also feel 100% that when stealing supplies any time Tommy sees anything with a bee on it he goes “!!! Tubbo!!” and nabs it for them. So like random bracelets and socks and handkerchiefs and shirts and Tommy is just so happy to present it to them every time like it’s a surprise (it isn’t) and so they end up with a bunch of random bee merch.

2. I’m going to answer this also with the idea I’m decoupling it from what’s practical for them to have. I really really want The Blade to wear a giant Hawaiian shirt. Just for me. I think his reasoning would be that it’s a very friendly and non threatening style and shows how cool and relaxed he is. Plus he can just unbutton it so it doesn’t trap his mane. He’s a Cali boy at heart and I think the beach drip is nostalgic for him. Also massive round dorky glasses, because pig eyes suck. And he think armor looks cool as hell, so in an ideal world he’d wear armor to formal events (like I do) and ignore the fact it’s pointless for him and impractical to have/make. Because in normal situations wearing armor is intimidating but he feels awkward in formal places and would like other people to be just as unnerved as he is.

Philza found his ideal fashion 4 centuries ago in Japan and has never changed since. But also when going full out and not confined by what’s practical for being homeless and in combat, he does get very fancy with it. Philza by far has the most fashion interest of the group. Which I did eventually realize was bc subliminally my brain went gnc green lizard person with long blond hair and golden eyes? I gotchu. And gave scp philza the same fashion sense as Double Trouble from shera. Anyway lots of silks, intricate detailing with gilding and gems, golden jewelry tailor made for elven ears and horns and tails. Tends to show a lot of skin because of anatomy difficulties and the fact he doesn’t get cold, rarely has sleeves. He doesn’t particularly care about masc/fem societal associations with what he wears since he’s not going to throw out a cool outfit just because he’s not a woman this century.

I fully think. If given full access to the vibes and associations that humans have with certain outfits. Wilbur would dress like a cop. Because he’s like ‘oh cool I just wear this outfit and suddenly people will assume I have authority, try to avoid me, not question the scars, and make me less distinguishable by having a uniform garb? Sign me the muffin up!’ That or wear the most goody two shoes, trust me I’m a good Christian boy tm outfit ever, crisp slacks and pastels that scream upper middle class haha I’m totally not robbing you <3 <3 if he doesn’t have to worry about the void or being in the woods messing up the effects. But if we assume it’s pragmatism doesn’t beat out the other half of Wilbur’s soul (theater hoe) I can imagine it wearing like straight up vampire lookin fits since the dark aristocrat would hella appeal to an edgy guy who dreams of luxury.

Tubbos’ fashion gets pulled in a lot of directions because of the hivemembers. So Jasmine wants them in dinosaur shirts and frilly skirts (despite how often Tubbo explains that flying in a skirt goes badly). Rosalind dressed pretty modestly, very comfortable clothing, but there’s more style options in smaller sizes plus not dealing with body shaming so I think she’d push to try out more things she always thought was cool but was too shy to try. Meanwhile Tubbo is just like please. Please just let us wear a modified button up and overalls you guys were just going to get it messy on the farm. Thankfully Rhodes agrees (or more like Tubbo agrees w Rhodes cause he raised them like that). Rhodes is also a suspenders guy, and forces Tubbo to always have a handkerchief on hand for courtesy’s sake. So the ideal Tubbo wardrobe is a maelstrom.

For some reason I can see Tommy getting into tie dye stuff because Red doesn’t show up on it. But I think realistically if given the room for it he’d dress like this guy named Deacan I used to know. Idk how to even describe it. Like a frat boy but more. Slight more formal and slightly more unhinged at the same time. Tommy thinks it makes him look cool and attractive.

3. Man that’s a hard one. Uh I once had a dream about Tubbo wearing this and I don’t think they would? Very cute handbag tho.

Put The Blade in straight up a Halloween costume for Satan or something, like skulls for pauldrons and teeth necklaces and spikes and what not. He definitely scans like a shredded final boss.

By appearance I think Phil could pull of an edgy demon guy well, but alas he’s too cheerful for it. But by design I think you could chuck that man in hot topic fit just fine.

I think classic tumblr sexy man fashion you could put the looming twink with a sharp smile and even sharper wits in a tux. I think Wilbur would try to claw your eyes out but you could.

From a design standpoint it makes sense to put Tommy in sleeveless shirts so his power is displayed. Maybe one with ripped sleeves to show how aggressive and masculine he is or whatever

4. Wow that's a creative one. For medical reasons I’m a vampire, and right off the bat Phil, Techno, and Tubbo couldn’t wear any of my hats. Tommy also wouldn’t because he’s vain about his hair. I think Wilbur’s reaction would be “a sun hat!? That’s genius! It flops in front of my face and hides the void way bet-! And it just got eaten.”

Philza would not like the cloaks and shawls because they inhibit his wings, at which point Tubbo teases him about needing wings to fly. The Blade vibes with them bc better than wearing a shirt in his book. Tommy instantly realizes having extra layers of fabric is genius for reducing Red contamination. Until he encounters one (1) mildly sunny day and vanquishes on the spot because he’s British and 85 is a heatwave to them. Weak. I’m built different and wear long sleeves in 100 temps.

Not sure any of their styles gel with fancy Friday. Wilbur almost would be on board but a tie is not his scene at all. Tommy, Tubbo, and The Blade are pretty casual. Phil rocks a suit but he thinks a boring style compared to countless more intricate and interesting garb from the course of human history. It’s very plain in his eyes.

The Blade would be very awkward about the techno merch. Phil would find the chibi scp philza shirt proclaiming ‘beware wrathful gods’ hilarious.

5. First off all these outfits have great variety and are all fantastic in different ways.

Wilbur: his first thought is how impractical the boots are for running. Then how the necklace could be used to strangle it in a fight. He could dig the jacket but it would get pretty raggedy within a week or two, the void is going to treat those shiny buttons like candy. Overall a nay, he’s too practically minded and scruffy. Me personally tho hell yah

Tommy: I can’t get the thought of him wearing the ace pin without even knowing what it means out of my head. Which is such a detail to zoom in on but I imagine only Tubbo and Wil (flag language) would get it but both would be so baffled since it doesn’t line up with what they know about Tommy in the slightest. The conversations about it- anyway. Hell yes on the bracelets, he would totally fidget with them when he’s bored, or to calm himself since Tommy uses a lot of tactile grounding techniques. Sure to the pants because they have pockets and that’s what Tommy wants in pants. No to the socks bc long socks pull at leg hair. That shirt is the most hideous thing I’ve ever seen (/pos) but Tommy doesn’t seem the type to wear camp stuff.

The Blade: I’m going to rb the techno in dress art for you. He wouldn’t go for the top bc mane volume, but would go for the skirt because hoops are so easy for digigrade legs, and it matches his facial fur. The Blade has had very little exposure to gender roles, and his main concern is cleaning blood stains from the white.

Philza: earlier discussion on him finding suits dull, but Phil can adapt to the times. He likes that the tie matches his tail.

Random Phil in suit doodle. Ignore the bad anatomy that’s why I didn’t post. He puts his hair in a braid for the occasion.

Tubbo: as long as there’s wing holes absolutely. I think Rosalind would really dig the top, and Jasmine is DELIGHTED! It go swirly swirly swirly like a skirt but they can fly in it!!!!!! An it has MUSHIMS on it!! (Tubbo: mushrooms) MUSH. IMS.

that meme about having difficulty budgeting when so much money goes towards dumb stuff but it's me trying to make the anatomy for this one oc as plausible as possible without sacrificing his ass

man's got big ol dragon wings coming out of the middle of his back with a patagium (wing membrane) connecting it to his tail. and if that's not ass-neutralizing enough, his tail is very thick and muscular, which, if done realistically, would take up all of his ass real estate (and also probably make him stand hunched forward like a dinosaur for balance) and i CANNOT find a way to work around this

i can't move the tail up higher because the wings leave no room for that, and also it would prevent his spine from reaching his Actual Pelvis. i can't shrink his tail because he needs the muscle for it to be prehensile and also the vibes would be off if it were skinny.

if anyone can give me some advice on how to resolve this issue (keep thick tail while preserving ass real estate) that would be greatly appreciated but i fear that i am Doomed

I saw some backless Victorian vests, much like this one:

Maybe the shirts have the buttons in the back or something. I dunno bestie.

Pants…. Eheh… 😅

What if, there was, like, a hole were the tail goes with a clip or button that goes around the top? Like, if you were wearing jeans backward with the zipper down or something.

[ID: A photo of a front view of a golden backless vest. There is a clip visible at the back of the neck. end ID]

first of all: hi bestie ily <3

secondly: a backless vest -- with some alterations -- would be PERFECT, but any normally positioned waistband on pants would get in the way of the patagium

[ID: An MSPaint diagram of a figure with dragon wings and a thick tail. The torso is drawn in black while the wings and tail are drawn in red, with the patagium hatch-shaded in. Red labels point to the patagium and tail, and a blue shape is drawn in the space between the bases of the tail and wings, labelled as the waistband. This cuts through the patagium. end ID]

~~~~

this rough diagram shows how the waistband would be cutting through the whole patagium. honestly i didn't realize just how awkward it would be for him to wear pants until i drew this.

but if i put the waistband ABOVE the wings.... now THAT would be something

or i could just do suspenders that go under the wings. but that's pulling up so much right under the tail which would be so uncomfy.... i might have to de-pant this man
