hello! the stained glass pattern is amazing! will the skirt be available in full lenght / ankle lenght as well?

thank you!

i can't say definitively forever, but for now the cathedral skirt will only be available on midi skirts. we are not making miniskirts for 2025 and the proportions of a maxi skirt are completely different from the midi skirts and the cathedral art was designed specifically to work with the proportions of a midi skirt. it just wouldn't look as good on a maxi. (also, the only maxi skirts i make are collabs with @freshhotflavors and are sold in their store and they use FHF's templates, which are significantly different from ours)

i would have to redo a significant amount of art to make it work on a differently proportioned skirt.

plus, if i'm being completely honest, i do not want to format this design on other skirt lengths.

and it’s not just the art that took a long time—in order to make this design as seamless as possible, i have to have a total number of panels that is divisible by 3. for the smaller sizes, that isn’t so bad, because i can put 6 panels on each skirt half for a total of 12. but that doesn’t work correctly on the larger sizes, so for those i have to do 7.5 panels per skirt half for a total of 15 on the skirt and then i have to do my best to align one of the art panels so it matches up over the side seam.

after i finished the art, getting these skirt templates laid out in all sizes took me an entire week and many failed attempts at doing geometry. none of the skirt halves have the same curvature and none of them are actually circular in nature. they are very weird shapes and the upper arc of the waistband and the lower arc of the bottom hem are not the same.

i actually cried like three times trying to calculate the angles of the side seams before i realized that the waistband and hemline are not perfect circular arcs so getting the angles wouldn't help.

i ended up having to manually make my own measuring system by hand to work off.

i am never doing this again it was so much work and i think the final product will be worth it but god was this harrowing.

Trois femmes aux ombrelles

And we're back at the regular 1880's fashion with this set which inludes bustle skirts in 3 lenghts, 2 skirt overlays, 3 flower accessories, a parasol and an umbrella !

More pics and download below

As referenced in the title, this set was inspired by Marie Bracquemont’s painting : Trois femmes aux ombrelles ou Les Trois grâces / Three Ladies with Parasols or Three Graces, 1880.

Thanks to @javitrulovesims for making the perfect pose for this set !

———————————   Skirts  ———————————

———————————————————————————

Once again, these skirts have a slight bustle shape which would best fit for the natural form era : roughly 1875 - 1883 ; (well actually, the size of the bustle is dependant on the size of the sim’s butt so do with that what you will). They are more ornate than my Cueillette skirts featuring some gathered layers and trims typical of the period, so they would be better suited for higher class people or more dressed up occasions.

And as always I give you 3 versions with each a different lenght to have more teen options and worker friendly options . The short one end mid calf, the medium one is ankle lenght and the long is full lenght. 

74 swatches : 22 solids, 10 floral, 6 plaid, 25 striped & 11 polka dot patterns

3 lenghts : S, M & L

————————— Skirt Overlays —————————

———————————————————————————

These two overlays will allow to respectively change the gathered layers and the trim swatches in order to channel the trim crazy period that were the 1880's.

in the middle finger section

74 swatches for the skirt overlay : 22 solids, 10 florals, 6 plaids, 25 stripes & 11 polka dots patterns

22 solid swatches for the trim overlay

———————— Flower Accessories ————————

———————————————————————————

To properly channel Marie Bracquemond's painting I needed a bunch of flower accessories so you will find 3 accessories in this set : a hair flower, a collar flower and a boutonnière. In my opinion these are pretty timeless and can suit a wide array of looks as portrayed in the pictures below.

These are all edits of @the-melancholy-maiden's Hair Flowers Through the Ages Part 2 thanks to her very open TOU.

none of these are compatible with hats

51 swatches : the-melancholy-maiden's original 29 colors and my 22 colors

the collar flower and the boutonnière are in the necklace section

the hair flower is in the hat section, available for both female and male frames

the hair flower is hat slider compatible

————————   Parasol & Umbrella  ————————

———————————————————————————

I made both an umbrella and a lacey parasol (using Javi's texture). These are rather timeless too I think, they are definetely suited for late victorian and edwardian eras.

These are both edits of @javitrulovesims's Meiji Komorebi Accessory Parasol, thank you Javi !

NOT compatible with necklaces, earrings, piercings or anything using the same UVmap (such as kijiko's lashes unfortunatly)

in the right index finger section

45 swatches : 2 colors for the frame and handle, 22 for the canopy and 1 fully black swatch

The subtle ways androgyny is used in SMTIV&A and its context in the franchise

What if I tell you... there's more characterization than it appears to be?

The most consistent trait among Megaten protagonists is certainly their androgyny. Fastidious fans would accept nothing less than the most beautiful eyelashes someone could have the privilege of being born with as it became a long defined characteristic in Kaneko's art.

Considering the franchise debuted with a main character described as a guy that would look good in a skirt, it's no wonder Kaneko (and later, Doi) had to follow the feminine-looking boy legacy:

However, this aspect is not actually that commonly depicted as a self-aware trait in the games. Attractive? Sure. Wooing ladies? Almost always. Specifically having a spotlight on the feminine features, though? Hardly any would be at par with our originator Nakajima.

Which includes Flynn. That being said, even if it's not brought up in the story, Flynn's androgyny is still touched upon not only in his profile notes in the SMTIV Artbook...

...but also in the way he's perceived in demon negotiations:

Excuse me!

Going from a stinky swordsman to bestie <333 in a flash.

Lham Dearg having this dialogue when the motherfucker shares the same hair lenght as Flynn is some double standards BS.

And then Chagrin-chan gives you a Detox solution.

However, you also have a chance of becoming a target of gender rivalry for this same answer:

No good, Chagrin-chan.

And then you have the rather unusually neutral way Flynn looks at relics:

You could argue that it’s due to Flynn being a country bumpkin born in an artificial world currently in its medieval period hence even basic concepts that he would know of would be interpreted differently when seeing their modern versions.

On another note, we also have to recognize that the location with the most conservative worldview is Mikado.

And yet, it's Nanashi the one with very gender-specific commentary:

A feasible counterpoint perhaps would lie on the possibility that Flynn didn’t grow with many women around him, specially ones that would invest in their own appearance which would be difficult considering their peasant background.

And an indoctrinated one on top of that.

Which isn't to say that there isn't makeup culture in Mikado though, as shown by Isabeau and Gabby.

Regarding Isabeau, I commented before that her choice of fashion seems to be more adapted to her own self-expression rather than a default way of presenting for either Luxurors or Samurai women. At any case, it's still part of a larger issue.

In fact, Luxurors and even monks from the Monastery weren't shown to be as anti-Unclean extremists as the Divine representatives themselves.

In the myth, Gabriel is a messenger who was entrusted to deliver several important messages on God’s behalf. Therefore, as Gabby, Gabriel acts as a mediator and makes God's message understandable to people through adapting her appearance to reach the most hearts as possible.

In other words, we have the picture of peasants being fairly ignorant of new technology (with Flynn among them) and only having the bare essentials while the higher caste thrives over luxuries to the point that becomes normalized what would be considered slightly sinful.

So much that even the angels had to tolerate it to a certain level in order to become close to humans and manipulate them.

Nanashi, on the other hand, meets so many ladies worried about their appearance all over the underground that he somehow ended up knowing more than Asahi even.

So essentially, Flynn "isn't familiar with female expression" but "effortlessly passes as a woman" regardless of what he's wearing while Nanashi "knows" and "plays around" with it like a costume.

And in both cases, it seemingly comes more "at the player's choice" rather than being done in an unsolicited way.

Doi's comments on SMTIVA's wardrobe convey that Nanashi is into wearing flashy clothes. Some fashionable, some dumb, some awfully absurd for anyone to wear in the middle of a war-like environment.

Nanashi basically wants to stand out. He fully knows he looks weird and is having a blast wearing flamboyant shit while fighting demons around Tokyo.

Meanwhile most of Flynn’s wardrobe are basically “gears that Flynn would consider useful for avoiding hazards while being ignorant of what the design means”.

Nanashi does it for fashion while Flynn does it for protection. This is also applied to the situations where the player "can choose" to act feminine: Nanashi crossdresses and wears make up while Flynn lets demons believe he's a woman to get a positive reaction in negotiations.

To summarize, Flynn was intended to be seen as an individual with both male and feminine traits (or the lack of both in some aspects) beyond just the stylistic choice of his androgynous design. While Nanashi is aware of gender roles and his social standing as a guy but also breaks expectations according to his own will.

These qualities are coherent to the lore of the story while simultaneously working on a gameplay perspective, as those are ways to bring diverse options for the average player while making female players also feel 'included' even if the protagonist is a boy (as emphasized by Doi himself), which is, to this day, an unbreakable tradition in mainline games:

Somehow, it turns out that Nakajima's legacy comes in handy with a seemingly unisex-presenting main character that is able to fill the gaps of an audience.

On an ending note, while we have yet to see a more complete official breakdown of SMTV's art direction through interviews, one can understandably connect a similar reasoning for the design choices behind Nahobino.

The fanbase of the series combined with Persona has a male-to-female ratio of 40:60, to which confirms the feminine-looking boys indeed reach a bigger female audience than male.

As interesting as it is, one can't help but wonder if we would ever actually reach the other side of the gender spectrum in an actual title. We have horny mods, so there's that at least.

Day 25 of our BridgertonS3 Polin Kinktober arrives with a train full of... lingerie and teasing!

Also, thanks to everyone who voted in the poll The weekly prompt on here and on Threads was the winner. I'm thinking of making a list of prompts (with your contribution) and extracting the lucky four for November. What do you think? Let me know!

But for now... let's enjoy this episode (also a modern!au)!

The weekends Pen goes shopping with her friends (who are not Eloise) are the worst for him.

Not because he misses her - he does, still - but because he knows they will go into some lingerie shop, pick some outrageous set or something she knows Colin likes, and then he has to pass the entire evening in a semi state, waiting for the moment they come back at home and he can finally observe her in all her beauty.

Pen did not have a thing for lingerie before him. He likes to think this little indulgence she concedes herself from time to time is because of him and how he literally goes crazy every time he sees a piece of lingerie on her.

So, yeah, he hates those weekends, but secretly, he can't wait, the desire and lust making themselves know the moment she goes out and they will see each other in the evening at the pub. He even has to rub one in the shower because he can't seem to function otherwise.

At the pub, he and his friends are the first to arrive. Pen always comes later, going home and changing into whatever torturing device she has chosen for him. After some time, he sees her in the corner of his eye, entering the pub. Colin gulps. Pen has a beautiful green skirt that arrives mid-thigh, a black camisole and a black and green corset over it. Under the skirt, he can see the black fishnets and the heels at her feet.

Most importantly, he can see they arrive just where the skirt starts, leaving him with the impression—confirmed once Pen is situated—that they are sustained with garters, leaving a tantalizing inch of white, creamy skin for him to lose his mind.

Pen kisses him, ignoring the "bleah" of their friends - as if they haven't done the same with their respective s.o., and then they quickly engage in conversation. Colin has to take a moment. Or several.

The camisole has some buttons open, leaving him with a perfect view of her breasts pushed up from the corset. She laughs at something John said, and Colin is so hard in his pants it is almost uncomfortable. The rest of the evening is a blur as Pen keeps teasing him, pushing his hand on her thighs, drawing his attention to her tits, licking her lips. By the time they go home, he is sure he is walking funny and grateful she waited for everyone to get up before they did it themselves.

The walk home is good, mainly because the fresh air makes him more lucid. Barely, though. The moment they step home, he helps her remove the coat, and he can't help but grope her bum.

"Go in our bedroom, Colin... I'll arrive in a minute."

He almost runs to the bedroom, causing Pen to laugh at his eagerness. He sits on the edge of the bed when Pen arrives, doing a little catwalk that has immediate consequences for him.

She has removed just the camisole, so now he has the most gorgeous view ever. Pen knows. She is teasing him still. She sits on his lap and kisses him deeply. "Hello, gorgeous," she says to him as he grabs her bum.

He goes down to her knees, expecting to feel her garters, then skin and then her thong or slip - whatever is fine with him - but instead, it's just skin and skin until he feels the garter belt. Fuck. Is she?

She is smirking. Fuck.

She stands up, removing the skirt and he can see her pu5sy bare. She turns around, so he can see her bum as well, and he curses out loud this time.

"Did you remove it just now?" he asks, breathless.

She doesn't answer, just goes near him, open his zips and takes his lenght out of his boxers, giving a pump for good measure.

Then she stay above him, ready for the next part.

"No, Colin. I was bare the entire time. Since I've arrived at the pub, I wanted you to put a finger on me. I was hoping..." and she lowers herself slowly, the tip now touching her soaked entrance, "I was hoping you would take me on your lap so that you could fxck me slowly."

She lowers even further until she is sitting on him again.

"Naughty girl, in front of our friends?" he lightly spanked her ass, making her moan. She nods, starting to move up and down on his dick.

He assists her effort with his hands, guiding the movements as he looks at her breasts, now bouncing. She smiles at him, clearly enjoying herself, and then, with a quick movement, she snaps the hooks, and the corset falls, leaving her in heels and garters. He grunts at that vision, and with a swift motion, he picks her up, turns them around, puts Pen on the bed, lifts her legs up and then drives in her again, causing her to gasp loudly.

From there, it takes only a few minutes for both of them to irgasm, both to be aroused to last long. He collapses on her side, kissing her deeply.

"You are going to kill me one day," he says. She smiles at him, love clear on her face, as she removes the garters. Colin stops her.

"Give me ten minute to recover, I'm going to fuck you again with those on."

Pen doesn't answer. She simply lies down on her side, lifts a leg, making it rest on his stomach, and then starts to rub it on him slowly.

He curses again.

"Ok, make it five minutes," causing her to laugh at him before kissing him, full of love.

18/ evening |18+|

contains: rough fucking on Matt's bed, no foreplay, pure smut

The stream was over.

Lea's boss had come to talk to Matt in the living room about the final contractual details while Lea and Chris were in Matt's room dismantling the equipment that belonged to the company.

〽️

The moment they were alone in the room, Chris was all over her. "Fuck you got me going with this little skirt, god damn!"

He greedily pressed his lips on hers while his hand wandered under her skirt.

"I don't wear anything underneath..." Lea gasped, taken by his greed.

"Fuck..."

"Tht's so risky Chris..." she tried to interrupt him even though she didn't care at all.

"I don't give a fuck! I need you right fucking now!"

He pushed her onto Matt's bed and pulled his sweatpants down.

"'m all yours!" she moaned and willingly spread her legs so that he could see her glistening wet slit. "can't get enough of you!"

Chris bent down and knelt between her legs while stroking over his hard-on.

"can tell." he moaned at the sight of her pussy looking so ready for him and couldn't stop slowly working his cock.

"Please don't tease..." Lea whined and put her legs around his hips to pull him closer.

He peeled back the skin from his tip and rubbed it against her wet entrance bevor pushing into her.

"Oh my god..." Lea moaned from his whole lenght stretching her out.

"Fuck!" Chris moaned at the same time. "Y're s' tight around me..."

Her moans became so loud that he had to silence her with his mouth. "Shh.. need'a be quiet."

"can't take it, feels s' good." she whimpered feeling her abdomen tighten even more.

"y' can." he commanded while speeding up his movements.

The sight of her pulling her head on her neck, arching her back made him feral.

"Look 't you" he panted, grabbing her hips to push into her as deep as possible. "so f'cking horny for me"

〽️

"I'm close..." Lea moaned and he felt her pussy tightening around his throbbing cock.

"Fuck, come for me... 'm so ready to explode..."

His hands were burried in the skin of her hips.

Her half open mouth and her rolled eyes as he repeatingly pushed into her almost made him lose it.

"F'ck I can't last any longer..." he groaned between clentched teeth and felt her climaxing right before his cock unloaded inside of her.

Chris with a shorter alternative reader?

Maybe reader has fave piercings/tattoos and dresses darker and chris being a total geek definitely is into scary women.

but hear me out.

reader being like 5ft-5'4 ( chris being 6'3 in the remake ) and instead of the dynamic being

reader says jump: chris says how high

Chris totally doms the fuuuckkk out of them 😵‍💫😵‍💫 jejjxhs need more dom!chris tbh

🐾

I had so much fun writing this ^^

I have more Chris stories planned (including Dom!Chris so stay tuned! :3)

- from the moment Chris saw you he was in awe. Just mesmerized by your looks and they way you stuck out.

-the fact you are so much smaller than him made him realize he had a size kink. A big one at that.

-Please wear a low cut shirt and look up at him, he will melt and get on your knees for you.

-whenever the two of you are alone, his fingers will redraw the lines of your tattoo. He does it so often, he can redraw them without looking, the design already mapped in his mind

- will ask to see your tattoos all the time.

-having a tattoo on your upper thigh that gets hidden by a knee-lenght dress/skirt? Oh he will lift the skirt as soon as he has the chance to glance at the colors decorating your skin

-or having a tattoo on your chest that only he knows of? Oh he is getting hard just thinking about how no one but him knows

- similar with piercings, he loves to look at them but he loves touching them even more.

-Anytime he kisses you, he takes extra time to kiss every piercing he finds on your face.

-If you have a belly piercing, you can already bet who buys you crop tops all the time so he can look at it.

-secret nipple piercings? DAMN HE IS HORNY! Good luck of ever getting him off your chest.

-and yes he will grab a feel over your clothes or even slide his hand under your clothes to feel them. Just to make sure they are still there of course. Hes just a sweet boyfriend making sure his s/o has all their piercings

-the dark clothes are just the cherry on top for him.

-please put make up on him, he wants to match with you and have an excuse to be that close to you

-he tried once to fit your style more, dressing all dark and scary. It worked at first but as soon as he saw you he was just smiling so brightly that he once again was the sunshine boy

-if you wear platform boots or any sort of shoe that has spikes, he will love you even more. No matter how high they are he can still look down on you, it just makes kisses easier

-he loves his small s/o so much. Will do everything for you. This guy is WHIPPED!

-you want food? He will get food

-You want cuddles on the couch? He will be the best cuddle buddy ever!

-You want his help to get something from the top shelf but you want to get it yourself and not have him just grab it? He will lift you up easy peasy

-i said it before and Im gonna say it again “Size Kink!”

-Horny boy who loves to have to look down at you. He will hug and hold you close all the time.

-cuddling 24/7

-please lay on top of him, he will beg you.

-if you end up falling asleep on him, he will take pics, bragging to Josh how much he loves his s/o and make the picture his phone screen

-everyone always assumed that you would be on top in bed. None of your friend would have guessed that sweet Chris, who does literally anything you could ask for, would completely dominate you

-with his size he covers your whole body under his, having to lean down to kiss and fuck you at the same time

-he is big, not only in body size but in dick size as well. And if he pushes in all the way and sees the little bulge in your tummy, no doubt from his dick. HE WILL POUND YOU UNTIL YOU CANT WALK ANYMORE!

-dont even try to squirm away, unless you want his hands leave marks on you from his bruising grip.

-but as soon as the spicy time is over, he goes back to the sweet puppy who loves you so so much

FORGIVE ME I DO NOT DO DIGITAL ART.

This is my DRV3 OC, Nessi :) Shes the Ultimate Boxer.

( In this AU, the DRV3 characters all willingly signed up for Danganronpa and the ending is the same as in-game :3 )

Height: 162 cm

Weight: I dunno js look at the pic >:

Hair: mid-lenght, lighter brown

Eyes: lighter brown

Shoes: red boxing shoes (I dunno how they look like leave me alone D:)

Jewlery: uhh all sorts of colours? :p

**Backstory**

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩

Fictional:

Ness joined the local boxing club when she was 10 to "let her anger out". At 13, she beat one of the strongest boxers out there, and no ones beat her since. She became an ultimate.

Real / Pre-Game:

At around age 15-18, she wasn't very fond of Danganronpa. She found it almost ridicilous, watching people "kill" eachother over and over. Her family, on the other hand, had encouraged her to join since she WAS quite strong and they had thought it was fake killing.

"C'mon, Nessi!! I know you can win us a LOT of money!! It's not like anyone would ACTUALLY kill, right?"

✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩

In-Game:

Everything stays the same until chapter 6. Instead of chapter 6 being "The End", it's the trial to Himiko's death.

After chapter 5, everyone was obviously FUCKED. Given the circumstances, she was slowly going crazy (and so was everyone else). Being stuck in a "academy", forced to kill your friends tends to fuck people up.

Basically, she ended up *ahem* KILLING Himiko without even thinking. She had thought she could just lie her way through the trial and escape, leaving the others behind. Selfish, huh? Well, that's Nessi for ya!! Anyways, i still havent thought of how she killed her, but obviously Shuichi figured it out and....

....IIITTSSS PUNISHMEENTT TIMEEE!!!

I will make a few drawings of her execution, because it is BRUTAL.

Basically, she's tied up Gonta-style and is repedately punched, kicked and what-not by boxing machines (get it haha cuz shes a boxer 🤓☝️).

Then, her like stomach pops and stomach acid basically ruins her organs - I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS REALISTIC BUT ITS FICTION SO EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TWT

Uhh so her whole body gets fucked up and she dies XD

Then chapter 7 is basically chapter 6 just without Himiko and yeaaah thats it :)

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

so howd you like it what are your thoughts

Anon, I hope you don't mind it but I'm going to use this ask as an excuse to do my Full On Rambling post about my honest thoughts. I'll try to keep is as coherent as possible, but I can't actually guarantee it :')

Also putting it under a cut because some of it is going to sound negative (as I said, I want to exorcise any critiques I have so I can go back to Vibing asap) and I know many people (undestandibly!!) won't want to read that, and I don't want to burst anyone's happy bubble :) . And also because of s3 spoilers. Bear in mind that it's not a rant post, I still had tons of fun with the season. But since I'm going to be talking about the things I enjoyed forevermore and gonna try to keep all my 'didn't really like this :/'s contained in this post, it may come out sounding like I enjoyed it less than I truly did. Here we go, get ready for some Thoughts

-> Content

Okay, listen. This season was fun. I had a nice time watching the newest shenanigans. New characters (with one notable exception) were a joy to watch (yes, even the thing. We're in a toxic situationship) and I was greatly amused by their adventures; most of them kept me on the edge of my seat.

(ok, here's where the negativity begins. Please don't take me for someone who wanted everything to be done for Their Specific Standards or who thinks they know more than the professional and extremely skilled team that was behind the series. I'm just throwing around thoughts about how I feel, but in the end, the only thing that matters is that Luke Pearson and the team got to tell the story they wanted to. If that was achieved, I'm happy regardless)

However, I couldn't help but think that some of it felt... like it was "thrown" at us, in a way? To be fair, I think most of the negative points I'll discuss in this post are a consequence of this season being 6 epsidoes short of what the writers originally planned because, as I've mentioned before, I do think the show's writing is great and that the team puts their heart and soul into making this the best cartoon possible. Anyway, what I mean is that at times I thought the episodes seemed so worried with delivering all the information they could that a lot was left behind and some stuff didn't really tie together with the rest.

For example; I still cannot understand why aunt Astrid and Anders had to be these big surprises that had never been mentioned before if Hilda, the character who we see this world through, already knew about them? Don't misunderstand me, I am well aware that these nitpicks of mine are subjective and only my personal opinions that may very well simply be a consequence of not understanding what the writers were trying to achieve. I just feel like Johanna's family and Hilda's father are topics that have been discussed so at lenght in the fandom, precisely because they'd been so carefully skirted around in the previous seasons, that the reveal that nothing really dramatic had happened (between Johanna/Astrid and Johanna/Anders, at least) feels anticlimatic to me. It just feels (again, to me, personal opinion) that if this was going to be the case all along they could have mentioned these characters before, and it would have made the narrative make a little more sense.

(This is especially true to me in Anders' case. Bc it felt to me like they had been trying to highlight how irrelevant Hilda's dad was to the story in the first seasons by not bringing him up at all, by not even pointing out his abscence. But I can't really see the point in that if you're gonna bring out the man either way)

Ironically, at the same time I felt like some of the arcs were a tad overachieving, especially the Johanna's parents one. I just felt like it was Too Much Too Quickly, which once again is likely because of the season having been shortened. I feel like if they really wanted to do that arc, and that way, it would have been helpful to cut some other storylines so they could begin fleshing out this one earlier. They way it was done I just personally (can you tell I'm terrified of being taken as a hater?) felt like there was no time at all to get either used to the idea of Johanna being half faerie nor to get attatched to her parents. Like. I know the episode was the season's emotional peak, but it just didn't hit me the way I know it should.

Not sure if this was a me problem, but I felt like the audience wasn't given enough time to process what had even happened when they got stuck in the fairie island, nor to even consider that they'd truly be stuck there forever, much less to fully process the sacrifice Johanna was making when she left it with Hilda. I didn't get to get attached to Johanna's parents or to the dynamic they have with their daughter. I didn't suffer the way I wanted to when I saw them having to part ways, because I couldn't become invested in their bond when I was still trying to wrap my head around what their backstory even was and pay attention to the action heavy scenes that were to come.

What I'm gonna say here is way meaner than the people behind the show's writing deserve and I know, I can absolutely tell it isn't the case because you can see some of the foreshadowing once you have the benefit of hindsight, but it felt to me like some of Johanna's backstory was written for shock value alone. Which, considering the previous components of the season that I have already mentioned felt underwhelming, was even more jarring.

Another thing is that I feel like a lot was sacrificed in order to do these overachieving arcs. This maaay just be the side character lover and change hater in me, but I do feel like in order to present to us all these new concepts that would be necessary for the backstory to make sense, we were deprived of some elements in Hilda The Series that are arguably what the show does best. It felt like they all but scratched all of their previous stories, characters and components to switch them up for new ones. Pikablob has said it better than me, tbh.

However. I do feel like saying that none of the fears I had for the season came true. No character feels ooc, no one was left with an incomplete arc, and though I can't see how Anders contributes to the story, if he had to be there I feel like the way that was it done was the right one.

Frenetic. Run for the hills kind of thing sometimes. Which, once again, I can't bring myself to believe was the writers' fault, not when they had other 6 episodes planned that they didn't get to do. I absolutely understand that they had to condense everything they wanted to show us into half the runtime. But it did become an issue (to me) when instead of the trademark Hilda Idyllic Tranquility I usually feel while watching (even plot and action heavy content like TMK), I felt like I was watching a completely different cartoon. Carmen Sandiego, or something like that (please note that I do also love Carmen Sandiego). Many times it just felt like there was no breathing space, which isn't necessarily bad when done well, but I hadn't gone into the season prepared for that.

It wasn't a problem that was all around present, though. I do want to point out that imo "The Giant Slayer", "The Laughing Merman", "Strange Frequencies" and even "The Forgotten Lake" still felt like Hilda to me. Which is where I realize what the main issue I had with the season was. That a lot of it just felt like a different show.

-> ~ vibes ~

I am bringing back the disclaimer that if the team told the story they wanted to, then good for them, I'm pleased as can be. I do enjoy that the series played with some different concepts. The musicality and colours in The Laughing Merman, for example, were absolutely delightful to me. Seriously, I want an entire Hilda musical now.

But some things I just couldn't help but feel were so disconnected from the previous feel of the show that it felt to me like they didn't belong. You can sum the rest of this post up by saying that season 3 would have been one of my favourite ever cartoons if it had been its own thing. But it's not, so I can't help but compare it and try to understand how all of the installments work when together.

The faeries, for example. I was so excited when I saw the trailer and knew it was going to be one of the plots, because I thought it was going to be another adventure of the day type of thing that would span over three episodes max. And listen, I've talked about how much I love Celtic folklore, and maybe this is just my consistency loving brain being annoying, but it felt a bit... clashing? that this season was based on tales and creatures and treaditions that weren't the scandinavian ones that inspired the rest of the series. It just felt like a major shift in tone that I don't really understand (once again, me problem, may very well be a skill issue on my part & I'm not saying they shouldn't have ventured so far just bc I didn't quite vibe with it). It just feels a bit off to me, knowing that Johanna's backstory was likely planned from the start, that there wasn't any celtic lore at all in previous seasons to make this sudden detachment from nordic folklore feel less out of the blue.

You know that joke that Disney movies like Aladdin and Raya take concepts from different cultures and smash them together like they're not completely different? I felt to some extent (bc OF COURSE Hilda is much better researched and has a lot better quality than that /gen) like they did that this season. But with white people. Which, fair, I can appreciate the irony.

Back to the topic of bold storylines, I understand what the Hilda team did with all the Johanna backstory. I understand that it's something that everyone wanted to see soo bad and they wanted it to be great (and it was). The thing I got stuck on is just that it ended up changing the vibe of the show to me. Whereas previous seasons feel like "slice of life in a magical place", I felt like this time I was watching a magic centered fantasy. Especially when they got into trying to explain the origin of magic and everything. Which is ironic, because I enjoyed the concept a lot and will explore it in the future, but it still felt like something that I wouldn't have expected Hilda the Series to tackle. Like there was a giant shift from folkloric to fantastic that isn't bad, but it is different and I hadn't been prepared for that lol.

God, I feel like I just wrote all of that and just to be A Bitch. I just wanted to get these thoughts out but I don't expect you guys to agree or anything. I genuinely liked watching this season, and I will continue to reiterate this in the future. And even if it doesn't beat s1 or s2 in my heart, I'm still grateful we got a final season at all, and everyone who was involved in it deserves all the praise <3

Hannah Lowther’s story looks like she has Black alt (old design) or Seymour boots, I’m assuming this is just for rehearsal purposes, right?

Those are rehearsal boots. In the usual costume timeline UK queens get their boots between the second and third week of rehearsals as the rhinestones are finished. But they need to start wearing heels from day one for a few reasons. Including to get used to the height, to build up the strenght needed to wear the boots regularly, so they can learn the choreo taking into account the different step lenght and measure moves with the heels. Basically same reason they wear skirts, peplums and corsets, and have the LIW plattform in the rehearsal room. Simulating stage conditions as much as possible makes it possible for the cast to be better prepared.

But back to boots. Since the queen's boots are not finished by the time they start rehearsals they wear whatever fits best from retired boots. By now there are many that are still in good condition so its very likely they can find something that fits. During the past week the WE queens have posted many of them in their instagram stories and I've actually been trying to figure out who has what. Half out of curiosity half because some interesting combinations are happening.

So far:

Nikki Bentley: an Aragon pair

Thao Therese Nguyen: a pair with the original diamond design that I think is Howard

Reca Oakley: a pair with one strap that doesnt look like the six LaDuca boots

Inez Budd: a boleyn pair

Gabriella Stylianou: a cleves pair

Naomi Alade: a pair with the original diamond design in what looks like light blue rhinestones (a design that has never been used and has me incredibly curious)

Hannah Lowter: a Seymour pair

Nothing from Kayleigh McKnight, Janiq Charles, Meg Dixon-Brasil or Natalie Pilkington. I assume Natalie is wearing one of her old pairs. And on another story a few other boots were visible inside drawers including roxanne's pink alt boots, one set with silver heels that could be one of the 2022-23 UKT alt boots or a teal pair, a pair that doesnt seem to have rhinestones (I assume the one reca wears) and two I couldn't identify which rounds up the cast.

Gabriella and Naomi, Hannah, Thao.

Reca and Nikki, Inez, some of the drawers where the silver heel pair, Roxanne's boots and the Cleves pair Gabriella has are stored, another two pairs were under the table.

So a very random looking mix. I think its funny Boleyn and Howard are currently inverted and am very curious about the boots Naomi is wearing.

But tbh I am more excited to see the new boots that should start appearing this week

[gchausz7872]

now I understand why their uniform weren't always have the same lenght for the skirt for each member, this is the reason why... no matter how tall or short their height if they all stand in one line they will look like this :-)

[drawmyhearton]

Very rare to find Bratz!

At first I saw a Jade with red lips and went "another style it jade" *buffer* "GIRLZ NITE OUT JADE?!?"

also the skirt she is wearing is my Rodeo Sorya's missing skirt so double :D :D

and Campfire Cloe! Pretty sure I own all of her clothes so that's cool! Unfortunately her hair is MELTED. It's at the front, near the roots. No way to hide it 😭 her face is intact at least so she gets put in the rerooting pile (note: I do not currently own rerooting tools or doll hair. It is something I've been meaning to pick up for a while.)

also now I see why Jade was priced lower lmao

I'll see if that can be fixed/ hidden by boots, otherwise she'll get a rebody. Not a big deal!

I've washed and straightened her hair already. Waiting for it to dry. It's funny, without her default hairstyle you can see how all over the place her hair cut is 😆 it's meant to all fall at the same lenght when half of it is up.

BACKSTORY

The second of the three daughters of the witch Azalea Woodstock, her childhood was full of everything... save a present and emotionally available mother. Her and Saffron raised themselves into very different beings, and, when it was time to go to college, Saffron ran off to the furthest univeristy that'd have her and Amaryllis stayed in the state, which was a lot. Not finding a suitable job, when she finished her career, went back to Santa Renata and worked as a barista for her friend Brooke. She noticed that her most regular customer was a beautiful stranger.

DURING THE SERIES

The day she received the news that her mother had died was life-changing for her. The handsome stranger, Marion, turned out to be a sort of magical being... which she discovered at the same time she discovered she had a younger sister, Maggie, and that they all possesed magic and were a coven protected by Marion herself.

The first days were rocky, for the three sisters barely knew one another and had many things built up, but with Marion's guidance, they built themselves a good coven bonding. At the same time, she discovered the wraiths... and a major one being Miss Bell, her mother's lawyer, who was named Kaine, the mistress of pleasure of the Wraith King who she planned to betray over her. She was drawn to her too, as well as Marion, and was mostly torn apart.

Getting to know the witch community was enlightening, but the fact that it was being targeted by wraiths soured the experience. Enhancing her powers empowered her, and with now Kaine by the sisters' side, they went on for a quest to vanquish Doubt herself, Feras, which she succeeded, proving her power was a witch.

She also grew closer to her sisters through trials and tribulations, such as chasing Maggie's shadow or getting rid of nuisances like a bind from a ritual gone wrong.

The day of the Summer Solstice was supposed to be a great day... until Mara, who turned out to be a wraith, revealed that Kaine had been spying on them for the Wraith King all along. Heartbroken, Amaryllis sent her away for the coven's sake, despite wanting to believe her.

Then, tragedy struck Santa Renata, and Amaryllis knew she was running out of time. Unlikely allies came to her aid, and Marion was called to the front lines to fight. They made love as a goodbye, and the Woodstock sisters, alongside their allies, prepared themselves for a goodbye. Including Kaine, who wanted to redeem herself. Biding her a warm goodbye as well, not knowing if she'd live, the Woodstock sisters woke up with Maggie having been kidnapped in her sleep. Knowing that it was a trap, they went anyways.

The fight was fickle and arduous, but with her enhanced powers, after an exhausting fight, the whole gang came together to defeat the Wraith King, and they did.

After the battle, Amaryllis had decided after recent events that she didn't want to choose between Marion and Kaine, and so, she chose them both. They both took it rather well, and despite Kaine now being human and Marion still being a Guardian, they'd make it work.

Her sisters all got improved powers, but not Amaryllis. Until, one day, it came in the best way possible: she could take a peek at the future, and what a future was!

AFTER THE SERIES

A year later, her niece Azalea Jr. would be borne by her sister Maggie and Brooke, her best friend and now brother-in-law. Saffron and Penny also married and had a child, and Amaryllis, Marion and Ziyi all married in the nearest state where you could marry two people and two years later had their daughter, Jade, who was her pride and joy, and she and little Azalea grew up together.

The rest of her days were calm and full of witchy magic, knowing other newest covens and making the society a renewed one so mistakes wouldn't be repeated.

Hey! I really liked ur page,

I need fashion advice desperately lol, mind if u tell me what suits me?

I have a cancer sun, Leo moon, aquarius rising, cancer venus, Virgo Mars and gemini mercury 💗

Hi! Thanks!

With a Cancer Sun and Venus, you will look best with a softer style that focuses on comfort. Graphic t-shirts paired with cardigans or hoodies will be ideal on you. Especially with your Aquarius rising, you can go for some bold and crazy colors, patters or graphics. A teddy jacket or hoodie (or a nice knit cardigan) with a graphic T-shirt and jeans or a slightly more formal shirt and pants will be your best type of look.

You should also go for shirt that are a bit more loose and "free falling" on your frame, as opposed to tight, form-fitting shirts. Same goes for skirts and dresses - long, flowy, floor-lenght skirts and dresses will look magnificent on you.

You can also go for a boho style, as that will fit both your Cancer and Aquarius placements. ☽

Idc if you’re not in the hurricane family at this point, you’re snuck into the walls so it counts

I’m doing this project where I’m drawing everyone in the HF so if you could give me a quick description of what you’d like to be portrayed like it’d be appreciated :)

(I Probably won’t see this for an hour or so tho)

Ok, First of

Ok, now then...

for the hair you can have fun. It can either be perfectly straight or a heap o curls depending on how I dry It and the products I use, and under the shoulders for lenght. Same for skin color. I can go from ghostly White in winter to quite tanned in summer (tho I don't burn Easy). I mostly carry my hair half up or in a bun, but if not, then I 100% Will have a hairtie or two on my wirsts. No other bracalets tho 'cause they bug me. No matter what, unless I make a really High ponytail, a lock of hair wil escape the do and into my face (i usually direct it mostly to the left, my sight's already bad on that side, so It bugs me less). Also, glasses. This and my last pair I choose to match my hair color (light Brown, mostly goldish highlights, but there's still a bit of a reddish hue from when I dyed them two years ago, so Hazel or auburn or something in between). (Eyes also Brown by the way)

An outfit... tucking the shirt inside the pants Is a conditioned reflex (you don't want to leave It loose when you go upside down during training...) and in the rare instance I wear a skirt, I WILL be wearing leggings or shorts underneat (same for dresses if the design allows for It). For the most part tho I love black leggings and short sleeved shirt with a sweater (worn or tied at the waist depends on the weather). For the shoes, either trainers or boots (those in winter), but no High heels or I Will break my ankle.

I wear most colors, but am partial to blues, greens and any color the Sea can take.

I have a pair of stainless steel hearrings with tiny half moons and hearts pendants I have worn basically non stop for the Better part of the last 3 (4?) Years and more often than not a necklace to have something to thinker with (that One changes tho, from minerals and non precious stones, to a tiny goddes sword, to a yin-yang pendant, so go nuts<3)

I feel i forgot something... oh yeah, I've worn makeup a Grand Total of 4-5 times in my life, so go Easy on that.

This... Came out longer than I expected. You don't have to follow It all tho, Just have fun drawing.

good night Ghost! (Or morning if you are actually sleeping and don't see this at two in the morning) <3
