#Valentine's Ball

[thatsmybook]

In season 2, in preparation for the Valentine's Ball, Felice decides not to wear the white wig with her outfit.

She has her natural hair big, and curly and out, and stunning. Also, I love that her dress is a dark colour compared to everyone else's pale coloured outfits.

She says to her friends about the wig: "I don't know what to do. I can't wear that. It doesn't feel like me." Madison says, "Isn't that the point, though." Stella says," I think it's really pretty." Felice replies with, "It's not that it's not pretty. That's not the problem. It just doesn't feel right. But it's so weird. Everyone else will wear one."

She wants to be herself and sit in her own beauty, but she is worried that she will stand out by not conforming. Parallel this with her dad in season 3 telling her, "When I started (at Hillerska), I tried to have my own style. Some different cool clothes, big unruly hair....But here, that wasn't an option. Soon, I looked like everyone else."

When how you look, your hair, the colour of your skin, makes you different, conforming to the hierarchy that implies that European standards of beauty are superior, is necessary to have an easier time at Hillerska. According to Poppe, "That's how you win. Play be the rules."

I love how this is followed by Felice going against the rules of Hillerska that you don't snitch on the goings-on of the institution, and being honest. Leaving her conforming dad out of the interview room.

I like to contrast Felice's decision at the Valentine's Ball with Wilhelm painting his face and putting on his wig that makes him look like a traditional Prince. In this scene, he is crying as he dons his Prince apparel. It also 'doesn't feel right'. And it also 'doesn't feel like him'. He has always hated his role as Prince. Even something that should be fun, like playing dress up for a ball that everyone is doing, is not. Because he's not playing a role like everyone else. He is that role, and he hates it.

As to the other characters: August is seen to be really pleased with his reflection in the mirror as a traditional noble (read Prince) role. Sara is caught up in the excitement of being one of the elite girls and playing at being a part of their world. Simon is in his school uniform. He is himself. A 16 year old school boy. He definitely stands out at the ball, but he doesn't care.

(¸.• ♛ → "hi." she wasn't sure about this but she wanted to face her fears and her fear is being here in general considering what happened last time she was in her graduation, it was a dance and everything just happened so fast. this time she wanted everything to be different, everything to be calm. "you look really nice." she just had to say something, dorothy looked pretty after all.

Apparently there was once a Guilty Gear XRD collab and the menu looks scrumptious like look at this stuff

Some of these are really fun, like the Potemkin Pasta with little hands or the Kaltes Gestöber (which translates to "Cold Flurry") ice cream, or Ky's dainty little tea and cookie set

The thing that's fucking killing me about this menu is that the coffee is Eddie coffee. Not Eddie*'s* coffee, Eddie coffee.

It conjures to mind the image of Zato-1 fucking around in Venoms bakery and serving someone a cup of Eddie, or somehow putting Eddie in an espresso machine

Felt bad to make my local sticker printer have to read a swear word while cutting these, so I censored it Funny Valentine style (they’ll just be very confused it’s fine)

(¸.• ♛ → a small smile was on her lips, happy that they were doing this, it was just a very refreshing night. "that's true, they really put a lot of efford here." the redhead commented looking now at the other one, now giving him a small kiss. "it is perfect, i'm glad we are doing this."

Peter wrapped his arms around her, keeping her close as they enjoyed the outside air. "It is a lot of people. When they throw a party they really go all out. It's fascinating. But out here, with you. Perfect." His voice was soft.

(¸.• ♛ → "of course i am, let's just try to forget that." for now they should, forget everything and enjoy their life here and that they are alive, that's the most important thing right now. "we weren't kind to hannah but she deserved that and it was her own fault for going with you when you clearly had a girlfriend and by she deserved it clearly i mean the prank, not what happened in the woods, i wasn't expecting that either and sure, i didn't like her but i didn't wish her any harm." of course not, she wasn't cruel like that and what happened to her was horrible. "i'm glad you think like me because being here with ashley is hearing everytime that we were at fault. but you are right, let's just forget about the past and see our time here."

mhm, they should enjoy their time here. mike should not think of the past anymore, it only hurt to think about it. a small smile crossed over his lips as she spoke, he glanced down on the ground. the night at the blackwood mountain had changed him. although he was still the same old mike as he always had been, he had started to see life different ❝ you are right we should ❞ he agreed with the blonde ❝ what happened to them wasn't our fault. sure, we may not have been kind to hannah that day, but what happened to them after is no one of our fault ❞ it wasn't. not what he saw. they were the ones running outside ❝ don't care too much about it, alright? we can't change the past. she should as well, even though it may be difficult. i don't feel guilty either. we did not know how everything would end ❞

(¸.• ♛ → "so, how is it going?" she asked because she saw with who she came, it was an odd sight so she thought that maybe she should ask. "i saw you with penelope, i must to admit, it did surprise me." she didn't dislike penelope but she knew lizzie didn't like her so she just needed to ask how she was feeling about this.

(¸.• ♛ → "perhaps, to trust you because she knows who i am and she knows that i remember her." she comments looking at him. "but she thinks that the games made me do what i did, like i regretted what i did there so we can work with that."

"Alright. Well, it helps that she thinks I don't remember who she is. Maybe we can find her and work with that. Trick her into a bit of trust."
