Oh dear... it has become clear to me that the DCA fandom is starved for more AUs that will provide quality suit-wearing content. So I was wracking my little brain for a new AU that requires Sun and Moon being in proper formal clothes. I hope you are ready for..........

COURTROOM AU YN has found themselves in a tricky situation being investigated (framed) for a crime they didn't commit. Enter philanthropist defence attorneys Sun & Moon, who have taken their case. But UH OH their estranged brother Eclipse will be prosecuting the case against you, and he has a vicious reputation. See you in court Starshine ;)

((Art incoming. I promise. ))

I really appreciate the beauty of Malleus New Year's card. But most importantly, other than its gorgeousness, I also appreciate how it pays so much homage to his status and character, from the flowers, the clothes, and the setting. 🥹

We know that wisterias were prevalent in his Dorm Groovy SSR, this time its another flower which is the red plum blossom here😭❤️

In Chinese philosophy, the Plum tree’s blossom is a symbol of winter ending and a herald of spring. The tree’s pale pink blossoms are cherished because they bloom vibrantly and so bravely amidst the winter chill. They symbolise perseverance and hope, as well as, beauty thriving in adverse circumstances.

The way this flower's meaning is so matched with Malleus' character is so precious. We know he's "the herald of spring" because his birth brought forth a hope that the Draconias(or the faes in general) won't die out just yet (the ending of winter) and the fact that this flower blooms even in winter probably symbolizes the fact that when he was an egg, he was still perservering to live. This also applies to his life as he grows up. With the way even if his life is riddled with loneliness and exclusion, he makes an effort to go out and adjust himself with others, he doesn't give up even if his reality consistently places him in situation where his goals can never be achieved (that is, him being accepted socially and him being ignorant of human culture but still makes an effort to understand it), he just continues to be hopeful that someone/ some place will invite him, therefore his ability to thrive in adverse circumstances.

The way he slowly rises in this card makes me feel like it symbolizes how slow paced Malleus is "in going out/getting used to outside of his comfort zone", actually lol. He described his admission to NRC as him being nervous because its an unknown place but still hopeful for the experiences that he might get(acccording to the vignette of his GloMas SSR), just like him here rising from the snow and the way he lifts the veil which makes me think he wants to see the world outside of his country's point of view with his own eyes.

Japanese tradition holds that the Plum (or ‘ume’) is celebrated as a protective charm against evil, so the ume is traditionally planted in the northeast of the garden, the direction from which evil is believed to come.

I also read this symbolism which makes me tear up lmaooo 😭Because we know in Book 7, Briarland was invaded from northeast where the Silver Owls originated from 💀 The fact that the plum blossom is a protection flower and he's surrounded with it in this card makes me think that it symbolizes how protected he was during Briarland's era 😭and another thing to dissect from his slow rise from the snow with the fact the plum blossom signifies protection is probably the fact that he took so long to hatch despite many people caring for him.

Side note that in Malleus Bloom Birthday Groovy, it implied that he was born in daytime during a snowfall, and he was happy experiencing the winter, just like in this New Years card where he's smiling against the heavy snowfall 🥹

In Japan, plum blossoms symbolize good fortune, an auspicious flower, along with pine and bamboo, and the arrival of early spring. They are often used as the design for New Year’s greeting cards and other celebratory occasions. (And maybe this is just the likely reason why this flower is here in Malleus' card and I'm overthinking it above lol

Next thing I want to mention is his clothes, that attire reminds me of the formal outfit of a Japanese Emperor (From what I searched, its called sokutai, but what Malleus wears is much more simpler I guess, its a outfit derived from it which is called ikan.) This post is a great overview about these two outfits.

Ikan is the work clothes of nobles and government officials in the Imperial Court after the Heian period. Sokutai is a formal costume for those from the Emperor to the court nobles in and after Heian period (Heian costume). Ikan is called 'tonoi (nighttime) costume', whereas sokutai is called 'hino (daytime) costume'. (which probably references the fact that he's a night fae)

The point is, what Malleus wears in this card is a very traditional garment that only high ranking Japanese officials can wear. But what he wears isn't the clothes of an emperor yet, but just for a high ranking official, which is accurate to his status that he's still a crown prince not yet the king, because only Maleficia truly rules Briar Valley right now.

I love the decision that they made him wear such a prestigious outfit because the story of the New Years event is the characters working on customer service lol Its like his clothes is a reminder that he is still highly distinguished even if temporarily he's a worker.

Lastly the VEIL !!!!!! That's the thing that catched my eyes the most in this card lol I KNOW they're not referencing a wedding here because the veil don't look the same, but its so good not to mention that the one of the headress of a Japanese bride is called tsunokakushi and its description can be related with Malleus a lot lol.

The term is a compound of 角 (tsuno, "horn") + 隠し (kakushi, "hiding"). This derivation is listed in some sources as a reference to hiding a bride's "horns" of anger, jealousy, or other negative qualities, in order to present a more virtuous image for the wedding. However, this interpretation might be a folk etymology resulting from a shift in the reading and meaning.

The headdress and the veil aren't the same thing but I kinda feel like this is the idea they're going for considering the veil is 1) hiding his horns, 2) he's a character associated with being jealous, and most importantly, 3) only the person he is looking at can see his face (which is the point of most wedding veils/headdress, to hide the bride's face so that only her partner can see it).

But long veils, like the one Malleus is holding is also just a garment for a noble to hide their nobility. Which is this is probably the likely reason, considering he's using that veil to cover up his horns and his clothes, the most obvious features of his status.

Also, it could be just a fun reference to the fact that Maleficent in live action wore a long veil to hide her horns so that she wouldn't scare the humans lol

Cookie Run devs, I just want to have a little chat with you please-

[the-girl-in-the-high-castle]

I finished watching Suits a while ago, and I spent an entire day off a couple of days ago reading 22 chapters of Darvey fic.

But let me tell you one thing. Before I started watching the show, I thought some things I've seen people talk about were actually fanfiction. I mean, I couldn't believe they actually happened in the show.

You mean to tell me Harvey was having panic attacks because Donna moved down the hall to work for Louis and no longer worked for him?

How that man let an entire company go free after murdering people because they wanted to involve Donna in something?

How he dreamt of Donna in his bed while he kept saying he doesn't want anything more with her and how he doesn't have feelings for her.

How he beat up a man just because he hurt Donna.

How he had a dream of Donna in bed with Tanner and then wanted to destroy the man's whole carrier when, for the first time ever, Tanner wasn't at fault for anything. It was a fucking dream.

How he wanted to strangle anyone who uttered the name Donna in his presence trying to use her against him.

How he wanted to end Donna's father's whole career because he thought he'll hurt his own daughter.

And the list goes on.

Honestly, things straight out of a fanfiction. But did I enjoy watching it immensely? Of course I did.

I have never seen or read Demon slayer (and tbh I don't really plan to). And I've also never even heard of the clones up until your blog, so my only knowledge and understanding of them is almost solely formed on your interpretation. You made me want these guys in ways that are concerning feminism. I can't even think about picking up the manga because if the canon is somehow different by your interpretation I fear I would feel as if the canon ones were ooc. Like, no, Null never said they would do that🤨 does this guy Koyoharu even know what she's talking about??🤨🤨

Your cult leader loves background characters and tries give them as much love as the popular ones!!

bUT I TAKE A CHARACTER AND TRY PUSHING THEIR WORST QUALITIES ACCORDING TO MY DELUSIONS, SO THEY COULD BE JUST A LITTLE NICER OR WORSE.

sighs.. but tysm.. I try my best to make them in character as possible even if some qualities might irk you, but isn't that what makes them even more loveable? I hope I can bend the perception of more characters in due time.

Even if you did watch/read demon slayer, you wouldn't see these jerks until season thREE and EVEN THEN. SLAMS HEAD AGAINST THE WALL. WITH SO LITTLE SCREEN TIME. That's also probably why you haven't seen them around. they don't have much content or focus on their backstory, so the Fandom didn't get as attached. and I make it up with the scraps given.

holds your hands. I do recommend at least watching the scenes with the clones in the anime. their VAs did such a good job, I love both sub and dub. Sekido's grunts, Karaku's laughs, Urogi's laughs (and screeches), And Aizetsu's WAVERY VOICE all echo in my head constantly. I miss them.

hey ......... dead girl walking. turbo singing. dead girl walking. thats all (runs away trips over a rock)

Sorry, but I really had to wake you See, I decided I must ride you 'til I break you 'Cause this arcade says I got to go You're my last meal on death row

Come on, tonight I'm yours I'm your dead man walking Get on all fours Kiss this dead man walking Let's go, you know the drill I'm hot and pissed and on the thrill Bow down to the will of a dead man walking

Turbo going to his S/O when he found out his game will be unplugged because of his own fault. He's more pissed off his own plan to take over that game didn't work, and resulted in both games getting that poster slapped on them. Pent up rage isn't good. But he knows someone who would relieve them of it, more than willingly. They wouldn't mind if he just snuck into their game, too, would they? Just this once. Just for one last night. Their presence and their... presence, was always a source of warm and comfort.

Getting one last time with them, before deciding, hey, he doesn't HAVE to go with his game...
