my post i just spent forever typing about this just got spontaneously deleted so im not trying as hard on this one. wizard hat staple of middle school skipper’s weekend wardrobe

aging up a little we have the red and white striped shirt which i wore the shit out of in middle school and the loud ass bowling alley carpet button up i wore the shit out of high school, accompanied by of course the ever present lemon demon tee. transition from the red button up to the loud blue one represents baby skipper’s transition from being a weezer panic at the disco gorillaz villagers type guy to an oingo boingo talking heads they might be giants ska punk type of guy as he started high school. i really wish i could find better pics because i feel like the blue button up lemon demon shirt combo is so iconic in terms of baby tober fits

first outfit is definitely less ivonic in terms of skipper fits to me but it still goes crazy. super representative of me as a person at that time i think… the kitten tights paired with the rainbow skirt the furry shirt and my confetti tie… next picture is definitely an iconic skipper fit to me, complete with my beloved shirt which i gifted to @swagginess and my tie which i feel like starts showing up around our wardrobe a lot more around this point

Redesigns of the new strawberry shortcake reboot :]

Design notes under the cut:

Strawberry shortcake: I gave her short hair so the silhouette of her head with the beanie looks more strawberry shaped. Also, something about her new look gives me a skater vibe [maybe it’s the beanie? Idk] so I wanted to lean into that with the rest of the outfit. I gave her a graphic tee over a stripy shirt [the green and white stripes call back to some of her past looks], baggy jeans [calling back to her 2003 look], and sneakers that look like red converse [kept from her current look]. I gave her a cute apron with a heart shaped strawberry on it to make her look more like a baker and to give a bit of a 2000’s skirt-over-pants type of silhouette that I think is fun. Also, I’d like to think that her grandma made it for her :]. I put in a lot of hearts in her design because hearts are kinda strawberry shaped and also she seems like a loving, friendship oriented person, so I felt hearts would fit her personality

Blueberry muffin: I wanted to give her a look that matched her kinda weirdgirl personality in the new show. I’ve only seen an episode and a half so I don’t have too much to go off of, but she seemed kinda spiritual, for lack of a better word [loves ghosts, talks about things having “good energy,” etc.] I gave her long, layered skirts to resemble muffin liners as well as add some flowiness to her outfit. Similarly, I gave her a cropped cardigan thing with wide sleeves. I gave her mismatched socks to make her look a little more eclectic. I tried to incorporate a lot of round/circular shapes into her design to make her more blueberry-ish like her mary janes, the circle pendent on her necklace, the round shape of her bangs, her bubble braid hairstyle [idk if that’s what it’s actually called, i just thought it looked cool], and her blue sunglasses. I made her bangs a little messier so it almost seems like she cut her bangs herself.

Orange blossom: her visor is my favourite part of all of these redesigns. I stole it from one of orange cookie’s costumes from cookie run bc it’s just so nice. I put flowers on her shorts to lean into the blossom part of her name. I also gave her a little orange slice watch to incorporate more oranges into her design. I imagine it’s one of those watches that tells you your heart rate and stuff.

Lime chiffon: I’m not really happy with her design but I tried my best. I have her pigtails in the shape of semicircles to look like lime slices. I made her glasses lime shaped. To lean into her nerdy/preppy look, I gave her a sweater vest over a polo. I kept the design of her skirt to be lime-ish. I gave her blueberry’s Ugg-like boots because I wanted to add some brown into her outfit to be like the cake part of a lime chiffon cake.

Lemon meringue: shes not TOO different from her current canon design. I changed her hair to be more lemon shaped. I also thought the shape gave her a bit more of a mad scientist look. I also put some white in her hair to incorporate some meringue-ness. I put some patches on her overalls like she’s used them for a long time and they’ve gotten worn out. Also, it allowed me to add some more lemon-y elements to her outfit. I put a lightning bolt on the chest of the overalls because her voice reminds me of rainbow dash and also i think you can use lemons to make electricity[? I think I did an experiment like that in elementary school]. I made her goggles look like lemon tarts for funsies. I gave her a tool belt to incorporate more brown into the design and bc all inventors need tools handy.

AN ~ how did this hit 1000wd? i'm just so happy for him!!!!!

Hen & Buck celebrate Pride. with a side of Karen my wife

for a kiss on the cheek

also on AO3

-

Mara runs ahead of them in the crowd, with little mesh fairy wings bobbing around on her back matching Jee-Yun who runs along beside her.

“Mom says not too far!” Denny calls after them, then looks back at his moms. “Hey, can we get icecream?”

“Excuse me?”

He pulls a face, exasperated. “Can we get icecream, please?”

Hen and Karen share a look. A your son's fourteen years is showing. But they can't help but smile; he's still their son, and even if he slips up on his ps and qs he still wants to include his sister and baby cousin a good time and that's the more important thing.

“Of course, yes,” Hen agrees, and digs into her bag. “Let me just find the -”

“Icecream?” pipes a voice from behind. “Hey, Uncle Buck's got this one.”

He hands over some notes as he catches back up from where he was lingering at one of the stalls.

“Hey now,” Hen warns, once Denny has said his thank yous and bounded out of ear shot, “they don't dip the stuff in gold, you know.”

“Uncle Buck better slow down now that he's got four kids hitting up his wallet,” Karen adds.

“Eh. Uncle Buck's feeling festive.” He can't wipe the smile off his face. It's like his heart is beating out of his chest with it and he can't stand still. “You know, I've been to Fair Day before, but I haven't been before. It's a lot. It's kinda crazy. All the different names and flags and stuff – how did you guys pick one?”

Hen isn't dressed particularly flag-y today; just dark shorts and a grey tank top with GIRLS printed across it in varying shades of pink. Karen on the other hand, has decked herself out in a brown blouse and a maxi skirt with varying pink rings that scream walking lesbian pride flag. It looks so natural for them, and fun, and well, if Buck's going to be doing this every year as a card carrying Member Of The Community, he'd like to dress the part. So far he's found a button up in thick vertical rainbow stripes that hangs open over his white tee shirt. It's a fun selection. But there's so much here and so many people having fun with it – they're on stilts! they're on enamel pins! they're everywhere! - it makes him want to cover his house and his car and everything he owns in the stuff.

Hen and Karen smile. They remember what it was like and for Buck, finding out older, and when there's more options with more visibility behind them than ever, and especially being Buck, king of the 4am wiki rabbit hole, the feeling must be even more intense.

“Don't overthink it, Buckaroo,” Hen advises. She pulls him over to a nearby stall, advertising face painting to raise money for rural queer mental health outreach. There's a big board of an array of flags, and little buckets with enamel pins and temporary pun-heavy tattoos. “The big secret is: everyone will try and argue about it forever. That's the double edged sword of community. You know what all these mean, right?”

“Most of them, yeah.”

“Yeah. And you know you've always got old reliable.” She gestures toward the top row of the board, which feature the classic Pride flag, the Philidelphia and the Progress flags. “But if you want to get more specific – what does your gut tell you?”

“That one.”

It's the one he has saved at the top of his tabs list. The one his eye has been drawn back to all day. He's been reading definitions on definitions on definitions and each one only seems to fit better than the last. Of course, it's that one.

“But what if it's wrong? What if it changes?”

“Then... you're out ten dollars, some kid in Alturas gets some help, and you know yourself better.”

“It's that easy, huh?”

“Hey.” Hen shrugs. “You're the one who invited your first gay kiss to your sisters wedding. Seems like you're rolling with the punches pretty well. Wanna do it?”

“Okay!” The irrepressible smile is back, and Hen finds herself beaming back at him.

“Okay!” she cheers, and turns to the attendant. “Andrea, hey! Can we get some bi flag paint for my friend here, please?”

“And you owe her for some lesbian hearts for your beautiful wife,” Karen points out, batting her eyelids to show off the trail painted up her cheek.

“Good choice,” Andrea says. She flicks her hair back over her shoulder and it's painfully flirtatious, the way she drags her eyes over him. Andrea has a bi flag of her own painted on one cheek, and gems in the colours of the rainbow on the other, highlighting her wicked cheekbones. She's got long, beautiful mahogany hair and she's tall and toned and yeah, he's most definitely still into women. Buck preens a little as she sets to work – he can't help it; he doesn't maintain this not to show it off just a little. Even if he can feel Hen and Karen rolling their eyes at him just out of sight.

When she's finished, Andrea holds a little mirror up for him to see and yeah, it just feels right. Then she turns him around to present him back to them and they look so goddamn happy for him he might cry. They might cry. Somebody might cry.

They grab each others' hands fiercely instead.

“Can we take a photo?”

Yes, please yes! He nods. Karen pulls out her phone but Hen beats her to it, and at the same time slings her free arm around him and pulls his face down to kiss his empty cheek. She snaps a selfie of the both of them.

She sends it to him later, a link to her Instagram post. It's captioned: Welcome to the family. PROUD of you Buck. And three hearts – pink, purple, blue.

LORE DUMP!!!! the mimic collective!

ok so basically! the mimic collective is a group of oc's who where all killed by the same mimic! their souls possessed it and where able to control the mimic, shaping it into what they wish! while they all can shift the mimic, some traits of the mimic remain, as they are still in its body. while only one soul can control at a time, all the other souls remember what happened.

here is a list of the oc's, their pronouns, and a bit on what they are and their personalities!

BioHazard, she/her: biohazard is an oddly colored fox hybrid. she has the patterns of a red fox though with a yellow and green color scheme. often wears a croptop tank under a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants, as well as a kitsune mask. she is more laid back and chill, and is a master of sarcasm. the main artist!

Eev, she/her: eev is a spider hybrid, with 4 sets of limbs and 6 eyes! mainly wears a black croped tee, a dark red cloak and baggy black jeans with lots of pockets! her personality is closest to mine, being chaotic and kind of insane, with either a blunt or sarcastic sense of humor! also has voices (think technoblades voices. if ya don't know what that is think a twitch chat. if ya still dont know what that is then idk how else to describe it) and is cannibalistic

X-bit, it/its: x-bit is a tv head! it has a tail that plugs into the wall to charge it and its skin is metal! what it wears varies. it also has a small crack in the top left corner of its screen. normaly its personality is very bubbly and playful, and its very helpful. if its health dips below 70% it starts acting more cold and critical, tending to be more snappy and the crack on its face grows. if it dips below 30 it becomes extremely agitated, lashing out physically at anything it perceives a threat to it or its allies. its screen splits across the bottom into a gaping maw, and its antenna on its head appear more crinkled and sagging.

Plague Fox, they/it: fox is a large, anthropomorphic, fox with red fox patterns and a red an black color scheme. their face is a fox skull with little red dots where the eyes are. its claws are huge and sharp, and it has wings made of black goo. they are generally mysterious and are violent when provoked or hungry. they dont take control of the body often.

Sp0re3 Fl0w3r, she/they/spore: they have a red mushroom for a head, with white spots. there are eyes dotting spores neck, but she can't control them. they have a tail ending in a red and white mushroom cap. she wheres a rainbow striped sweater and an overall dress with an eye on the pocket that she controls to show spores emotions. spore is very childish and bubbly, and absolutely loves finger painting, especially on walls.

The Spider Queen (spider for short), she/her: a very tall and towering figure, with a long black dress and black silk gloves. she has a crown with webs on it and black hair, as well as very pale skin. she has two main eyes with slit pupils and each eye has three smaller, pupil-less eyes around them, one above and two below. she also has 4 pairs of huge, spider like appendages sticking from her back and curling towards the fromt. she is very bossy and sassy, as well as regal. she can come off as cruel as she dislikes othe adults, but in truth she can be very sweet (but only around pets and children) she has a black cat with 4 extra limbs/ eyes.

[thetrashiestoftrash]

Went to Target for some rainbow capitalism, and while I appreciate the sentiment, all of the designs are ugly as hell. They have some rainbow stripes and checks, but something about the colors just kinda reminds me of a circus tent. They had a handful of graphic tees that I was kinda interested in, but they were the ugliest colors imaginable. Like.

Tbh this is just kinda funny. Not really making much of a statement, although voluntarily wearing "QUEER" in big letters is its own statement. What's up with the colors, though? I would rather just get some iron-on letters and make my own.

I like this one more, but I'm not buying long sleeves at the end of May. Considering getting one and immediately taking some scissors to it. It'd make a decent crop top, and "queers take care of each other" is a good message for Pride. A bit of a threat, an aspiration, a command, a reminder of community. Still wish it had better colors (how hard is it to print a proper rainbow?).

Cute, I guess, but again with the long sleeves. Also, I get what they mean, but there are definitely some things I would like to be cured of.

Another one where I'd rather just make my own with iron-on letters. Or fabric paint, maybe. WHAT is with these color choices.

Picture of the pattern itself, since it's hard to see on images of the whole shirt. And yes, this is just a bunch of stylized people in the same weird colors with random pronouns floating around. Obligatory wheelchair so we can call it inclusive, though I guess that's better than... not doing that?

It's too hard to read in photos, but they did have one shirt that was a pale pink with white cursive font reading "live laugh lesbian" that made me laugh out loud and immediately text the first lesbian I could think of. They also has some branded tank tops (gay pride means uhhhh... Schitt's Creek and Queer Eye), and the website tells me there are a bunch of drag queen shirts my store didn't have.

Holy shit I didn't look at this one properly

Okay so it looks like it's just an excessively green jumpsuit. The little patch says "all day, everyday, and that's okay" which is hilarious enough. But I didn't look at the back!

PERFECT.

ST Season 2 Wardrobe Analysis

Lucas, Max, & Dustin

Hello! I never talked about Lucas and Dustin in season 1, so I'll probably go back and do it at some point, but for now, I'm keeping my season 2 momentum. What we should note about season 1 heading in is that Dustin wears graphic tees and sweatshirts all the time. He also wore the same hat all season, which is also the same hat he wears for all of season 2.

I've talked a lot about characters having a specific color associated with them (Will, Mike, Nancy, Steve, and El all do) but Max, Lucas, and Dustin don't have this.

EPISODE 1

Dustin's graphic tees fascinate me because I feel like there's a hidden message in every one and I'm not smart enough to figure them all out. Here, in his first scene of season 2, he's wearing the periodic table. Dustin loves science. This isn't news to us. But this may or may not hint at the relevance science will play in his storyline this season.

Lucas wears a lot of shirts like this one with a white v-neck and rings on the sleeves. These shirts are a staple to his wardrobe, basics with a sporty accent.

Max is generally associated with bright colors. I know some people interpret this as rainbow imagery and read it as queercoding. Personally, I feel like Max's bright colors represent California. They mark her as an outsider. We do see lots of bright color in season 4 when we actually GO to California, and if you've watched the GQ interview with Amy Parris (costume designer), you'll know they established separate color palettes for their various locations.

Different seasons, different strokes (in both senses of the word). Season 2 and season 4 have different vibes, but also season 2 takes place in the fall while season 4 takes place in the spring. So the Hawkins colors above are bolder than what we see most characters wearing in season 2, but just like this, Max's wardrobe reflects a different color palette than the rest of the cast.

I actually have so much to say about this California color palette thing, so I'll need to cut myself off, but just think about the fact that Will was bullied from a young age for being visibly queer and in the original draft, Joyce mentions that his clothes are too colorful. Then in season 4, we see a girl flirting with him while he is wearing a bright red striped t-shirt. In California, his queerness is NOT visible. The brightness in Max's wardrobe reflects this same culture and now that she's in Hawkins, she is (like Will) standing out. And this is something that's never commented on within the show, but in real life, I can imagine that looking like Max (a tomboy) in Hawkins, she probably WOULD be pegged as a lesbian, despite not being one. But that was probably a bit much to work into a heterosexual love triangle, so it's understandable they didn't go there.

Regardless, the brightness signifies difference and standing out for both Max and Will in Hawkins and both Max and Will have relationships with California in which they would have LOOKED like they belonged, but did not necessarily feel like they did.

Dustin's dinosaur hoodie says "Brontosaurus/Thunder Lizard/The Science Museum of Minnesota." "Thunder lizard" is the loose translation of Brontosaurus excelsus, meaning that this hoodie specifically calls out species identification. Dustin first hears D'art in his trash can this same night. A couple episodes later, he attempts to classify and then name his species.

Also, "Thunder Lizard" makes me think "How do you know if it's not just a lizard?" This sweatshirt is a big nod to D'art, therefore causing my insanity in trying to uncover the meaning of all of his shirts.

I neglected to point out the similarities between Lucas's and Will's outfits in my Will/Mike post, but their outfits are stylistically extremely similar. They're in matching silhouettes, dark wash jeans, similar colors. It's quite obvious after episode 1 that Will is going to be a huge focal point for season 2, and there are a few cues that tell us that if Will is stepping into the spotlight, Lucas is doing it too.

EPISODE 2

I already talked about the Ghostbusters costumes in my Mike/Will post, so get the full scoop there! But I want to talk about the two Venkmans thing for a sec.

Lucas's refusal to be Winston purely because he's black, choosing rather to be Venkman is a big cue that Lucas is determined to no longer be a side character. Mike was established in season 1 as the Main member of the party. So the fact that Mike is the other Venkman tells us that he isn't the sole Main Character anymore. This is another one of those cues I mentioned before (yes, the two Venkmans thing has a variety of other meanings, but I'm not going to get into all those).

Max's tee is a soft yellow in contrast to most of the yellow we've seen from characters like Will, Mike, or Dustin. Her jeans are also a lighter wash than most of the denim we see in Hawkins. She wears either the same jeans or very similar jeans all season, so even when she's wearing a darker piece like this jacket, she still has brightness from all angles despite her tee being covered. Her sneakers are also a bright grass green, which does not match any of the colors in her outfit. This is something that happens often with Max's outfits. Her accessories don't match but rather add yet another bright color to her look.

EPISODES 3-4

This is another one of those shirts I mentioned at the start for Lucas. Something I find interesting here is that Lucas and Mike's outfits tell a cohesive story. Cover up Dustin and Max and we have Lucas's belt going with Mike's pants and the brown in his sweater, Lucas's pants matching Mike's sweater. Dustin fits less so.

Okay, listen. Maybe I just WANT Dustin's tees to be prophetic and they're not, but the brontosaurus one really was. This one has no text, just a green print of a hot air balloon. I'm creative. I can think of plenty of ways this could go and they all feel wrong to me, but I'm gonna spitball for a second:

Dustin is under the impression that D'art is his great discovery and he has big dreams of getting to classify D'art as his own species when he shows up in this shirt; his head is in the clouds (eh? eh?)

D'art is in his hat right now, so D'art's the one up high in an enclosed space.

Hot air -> freeing Will from the Mindflayer

But here's the one I'm going with if we're using the tees to foreshadow events of upcoming episodes: Dustin beginning to drift away from the party. As I mentioned before, Mike and Lucas match pretty well here. Mike, Will, and Lucas were all in the same colors in the episode before while Dustin was in purple. In episode 1, his bright yellow tee stood out against the others. He, like Max, doesn't really fit the color scheme. And he is about to embark on his two-season-long journey of feeling left out of the party.

Meanwhile Max is decked out in bright colors and she too feels left out or left behind. Mike is absolutely determined to keep her from party participation, her outsider colors not only applying to the school or the town at large but to the party as well.

Max's hoodie is once again this soft yellow and she's paired it with a blue ringer tee underneath. The color combo is very beachy and the sweatshirt has sailboat details on both the front and back (there weren't any particularly good angles to snap this from, sorry).

EPISODE 4

Okay, I'm sorry, but is this an owl? I have no idea. Pretty sure it's a bird with an eyepatch, though. The tee says "Pennville Pirates" which I'm fairly certain is not a real thing. I wasted too much time on a google hunt trying to find out. Pennville is a real town in Indiana, very possibly where Dustin could have moved to Hawkins from, but as for the pirates...P sure they don't exist.

I've thought a lot about why pirates? It's not like Dustin goes on a thieving rampage. The closest he gets to pirate behavior is his dishonesty by hiding D'art and his Attack on D'art in the cellar. But at the end of the day, I think the Pennville part is what really stands out. The fact that Dustin joined the party last was mentioned briefly in season 1 when he mentions to Mike that Lucas is his best friend. He clearly already has insecurities about being less a part of the party than the others and this only grows in seasons 2 and 3, though we never directly address the fact that he was last again. This tee therefore feels like a subtle reminder.

Lucas wore this jacket in episode 2 and he wears it again later. It's clearly a staple item of his wardrobe. He also wore a similar jacket multiple times in season 1:

Lucas is someone who likes a fairly simplistic wardrobe, owning a lot of similar items in various colors (Max does this too only in brighter colors). So when he's wearing these staple pieces, this is something I associate with Lucas being himself. I'll come back to this. The striped sweater has a little more color and character than we usually see on Lucas, potentially a hint at Max's influence.

Max is back in the jacket she wore in episode 1. And she may or may not be jean-repeating as well (they all look the same to me, I'm so sorry). She is an outfit repeater. I talked about Jonathan's outfit-repeating being a sign of his economic status and we know from season 4 that Max's mother has low-income, even after she takes on multiple jobs. But what she has now, financially, we can't really be sure. If the money is all coming from the Hargrove side of the family and Max's stepfather is a violent, controlling piece of fuckass garbage-fire trash, it's completely possible that Max doesn't see much of this money. However, she does appear to have a much more expansive wardrobe than Jonathan. And back to Lucas (and others) wearing the same jackets often, jacket repeating in particular is not necessarily a sign of how much money someone has.

However, a lot of Max's outfits have not seemed quite appropriate for the Hawkins weather. It doesn't look like she's gotten new clothes since the move. Again, this could be a consequence of her not getting much spending money or it could be a personal preference. But we do see her taping up her skateboard (presumably after Billy broke it off screen) later, so it seems likely that she is afraid to ask for things.

EPISODE 5

I couldn't decide if I should include it or not, but I actually do think this "outfit" poses some questions. Like, why does he own all of this stuff? He's clearly not a sports guy. So are these his belongings? Or were they his dad's? We don't know anything about Dustin's father. We don't know why he's out of the picture. We don't know if he's alive or dead; if Dustin's relationship with him was good or bad; if Dustin knew him at all/if he was EVER in the picture for Dustin or if his mother has always raised him alone.

All we know is that someone in this household at one point in time played hockey. Whether seriously or unseriously, poorly or well. Maybe Dustin's mother tried to get him into sports once and it didn't work out. Or maybe this stuff belonged to a father they don't talk about, but whose belongings are still around. But he grabs it from a very accessible location in an indoor closet (though we don't know if he's already put it there ahead of time for easy access). So while I can't draw any conclusions from this getup, I think its existence is curious.

This jacket is very like those tees he likes to wear with the stripe accents. It's also similar to the types of jackets Max often wears, but his jacket is more reflective of a letterman jacket, plus he's paired it with khaki pants. These details give Lucas's outfit a sort of sporty prep look while Max's style is skate sporty. Add in the plaid button-down and I'm actually just confused.

This is kind of a blend of different vibes we've seen from Lucas (i.e. his first outfit/third outfit being on the sporty prep side and his second/fourth outfits being on the smalltown fall vibes side. I'm not a fan. And Lucas is torn here, trying to figure out how to be honest with Max and also respectful of his friends. Maybe this outfit wasn't intended to be as ugly as I personally find it, but it feels like a visual representation of this internal struggle. The jacket leaning towards Max, the shirt leaning towards the party.

And while Lucas is sporting my least favorite of his looks for the season, Max is in my personal fave. She's in that soft, sunny yellow again and stripes, of course, plus a cozy grey sweatshirt. I don't have much to say about it other than that this is the warmest, most fall-colored of her outfits so far, potentially signaling her growing attachment to Hawkins.

EPISODES 6-9

How do we know shit's about to go down? Lucas has a bandana on.

This outfit feels much more comfortable than the last one. He's got his sneaks and his stripey tee and this jacket we've seen him in multiple times. He looks natural. And though I said that bandana thing like a joke, when Lucas puts on his bandanas, generally, we DO know that something dramatic is about to happen. We've been given a couple shots of him putting them on as a very intentional step in the preparations, for example, before he goes to spy on the lab in season 1. Lucas putting on a bandana isn't just a signal to the audience that shit's getting real, but it's something he does intentionally to prepare himself for conflict. I imagine this is a method of hyping himself up, boosting confidence, creating a visual for himself that he associates with bravery and triumph, likely a consequence of movies he's seen.

Max is in a striped tee and sporty-striped jacket again. Sorry for that second pic, but I wanted to get her jeans and shoes in the shot. Her shoes are red and blue and don't match, like at all. But Max is not a fashion girly and their vibrant color still fits her vibe. She and Lucas are both wearing orange striped tees as they grow closer to one another.

Similarly, Dustin is also wearing orange as he and Lucas make up. What is utterly bizarre to me is that the graphic tee Dustin spends the most time in (episodes 5-9), we can't see. His hoodie is zipped in all four episodes. The most I was able to read off it is "Race Yourself." The illustration is of a man on the moon, so this is presumably related to the Space Race, but the entire wording is never revealed. The message we are left with is "race yourself." Why. I don't actually have the answer to that. Try as I might, I am just not that smart.

Our girl wore pants to this dance (queen). And I don't think I'll ever be over the fact that her mom puts ONE barrette in her hair and says "It'll be worth it!" This outfit is low-key a mess, in my humble opinion, but that actually gives it some charm. The sweater has yellow cuffs, blue shoulders, a red waistband, and multi-colored stripes, and then she wore it with coral pants and that ONE barrette plus a watch in yet another shade of yellow. It's so colorful and it just screams Max, but it is not formal in the slightest. And this is an incredible contrast to pretty much all of the boys (and El) who all go out of their way to Dress to Impress.

ESPECIALLY Dustin. Dustin's outfit is actually my favorite out of the whole party's Snow Ball looks, but the effort he put into his hair shows how much he is trying to emulate Steve, a known womanizer, rather than being himself. His friends make fun of it, but god bless Scott Clarke for telling Dustin he looks snazzy. Dustin told Lucas he saw the connection (the "electricity") between him and Max, so he isn't trying to impress Max here, but he spends the dance hyper-focused on girls to the point that he ends up crying alone. Another contrast to note here is Will, who had no desire to impress any girls and yet got asked to dance by one calling him "Zombie Boy" which (first of all, rude) shows that she asked him to dance because he was being himself. Versus Dustin putting on an impression of a knock-off Steve Harrington, and getting laughed at.

This is another instance of Lucas and Mike's outfits looking kind of similar. They're both in grey and stripes with similar silhouettes with their jackets (open) and button-downs, going back to the two Venkmans thing with these boys both being leading lads/love interests. Lucas's shirt is slightly unbuttoned with no tie or bow-tie. His look is the most casual of all the boys, which fits with Max and the fact that after getting over the fear of trying to ask her to dance, he relaxes and these two manage to connect.

Blue's Rose - Chapter 24 - Part 1

*Warning Adult Content*

Boys Will Change

Blue Cavanaugh & Kulap 'Kool' Somboon

Kulap strode into his suite late Friday afternoon.

He was running a bit behind because he had wanted to get as much done as possible at work since he had no intention of stepping a foot back inside the office this weekend.

Barring tonight's family dinner, this weekend was spoken for, it belonged solely and completely to Blue, Kulap had made plans, surprise plans.

He had only told Blue to pack a small bag with as little as possible and he would pick him up as soon as he could following dinner.

Blue had badgered Kulap to disclose more but Kulap had refused. it was too much fun this way, watching Blue act like an overgrown child begging and pleading to be told his surprise.

Kulap paused midstride and cocked his head with a wicked grin, well... not all of Blue's methods of persuasion to get him to talk had been childlike.

Lusty smile still in place Kulap continued across the carpet heading for the bathroom and a quick shower.

Stripping down to nothing, Kulap reached and turned on the multi shower jets, within seconds the water was hot enough and he stepped in to wash off the busy day.

Though he loved a hot shower and usually doddled, tonight was an exception, he had things to do, places to go, people to see, one person, he qualified, Blue.

Unfortunately, he had to see his entire family first before he could get to him but Kulap could live with that, had done so for years without having the reward of Blue at the end of the night, not tonight, though.

Blue would be at the end of his rainbow, Kulap grinned at his unintended pun Turning off the water and grabbing a bath sheet, Kulap quickly toweled off, thinking about this weekend and his surprise for Blue.

He had a surprise 'mini vacay' within Blue's already existent vacation planned all out, though Kulap's family owned luxurious beach front properties throughout the country, Kulap had booked he and Blue into a private cabana over the ocean.

They would be able to snorkel, sun and indulge until their heart's content without having to stay cooped up inside the hotel, in secret.

His time with Blue was as close to perfection as they were likely to get but there were moments of time that happened unexpectedly when either he or Blue would naturally reach out to touch the other or kiss the other or just share an intimate smile with the other and they realized they couldn't because they were in public and the wrong person could see.

Those moments when Kulap saw the pain or frustration in Blue's eyes before he could shield it from Kulap cut at him, this time together was stolen, there was obviously nothing perfect about their situation except them, themselves.

So Kulap would do whatever he could to give Blue as to close the ideal of what they could be as he could and this weekend he was going to give Blue himself completely, uncensored and uninhibited by family dictates or supposed society norms.

Kulap looked in his closet and drew out a pair of white trousers along with a blue and white striped button up shirt, he had ordered some clothes this week, branching out from his darker shades, wanting his outside to match how good and bright he felt inside.

He quickly dressed and slipped on his platinum Rolex, he also opened a drawer that was seldom used and retrieved a small box that contained his favorite pieces of jewelry he no longer could wear here or at work, this trip though was another story.

He slipped the small box into his tote as well as retrieved two pair of shorts, tees, and some toiletries, he had not been teasing Blue when he said pack light.

The beach fronts completely private rooms would not require many necessities especially of the clothed sort, Kulap grinned again, he grabbed a large bottle of sunscreen.

There were parts of he and Blue that never saw the sun, they would have to be careful about that, his grin widened as he imagined rubbing the lotion on each other and all the fun that could lead to and that lead him right back to his original thoughts of why they did not need to pack much.

He picked up his cell-phone 'dinner would be served in twenty minutes' Kulap gave a quick sigh of relief, that gave him enough time to finish packing as well as dress and be downstairs to meet the guests at the door as they arrived.

His mother should at least be happy with him about that, not that she would show it or tell him so, she hadn't Monday afternoon when the deal she had accused him of destroying had been signed, sealed and millions of dollars delivered into their bank accounts, she had simply pursed her lips and told him he had been lucky.

His father had only nodded at him and patted his shoulder before walking away.

Kulap had tried to ignore them both but a tiny part of him that always worked so hard for their approval flopped like a dead fish in his chest, he had wished and not for the first time, that he would stop hoping like a child for their parental affection and accept that it wasn't his to ever claim, just like never being free to claim Blue.

Looking down at the cell in his hand the bittersweet thought floated though his mind before he could stop it, his lips twisted and a sharp pain jabbed him in his heart, the strike a powerful sting.

Kulap shook of the painful thoughts, refusing to sink into their grey depths, he had plans, he had this weekend, he had Blue.

In other words, his plate was too full right now to be standing here feeling sorry for himself, there would be plenty of time for that later.

Needing a connection at that moment with Blue, even if digitally, Kulap quickly texted.

[Two hours max. Ready?]

[Always.]

[Is that a crack at me for forgetting the lube?]

[Did you remember to buy some more?]

[Oops. I should be back by the time you're here.]

Kulap laughed at his quick response not knowing if he was joking or serious, they had of course, after their first night together bought the required necessities but had run out last night.

He wouldn't be surprised if Blue had forgotten and was running to the drug store right now to actually buy some more.

Kulap fixed his hair to perfection and critically looked himself over for any flaw his mother could possibly find and hold against him.

Finding nothing as far as he could see, he made his way out of his rooms and headed down the stairs, arriving at the exact same time as his mother and the ringing of the doorbell.

As the bell chimed throughout the foyer his mother gave him a once over, she didn't comment on how he looked but her eyes spoke volumes as she ran them up and down his body.

There was a small frown between her brows and her nose was crinkled... not in distaste... but maybe in confusion at how he looked.

Confused himself, Kulap looked down trying to figure out why she was reacting in such a way.

The opening of the door and his cousins and their parents arriving quickly drew his attention up and he forgot her strange reaction and turned into the perfect host.

Funny enough, his entire family had the exact same reaction to his appearance as his mother, none of them showed discourtesy by saying anything but their looks spoke volumes.

Raised eyebrows, and exchanged quizzical looks with each other flew around the room, they weren't subtle.

Kulap wondered why they even tried to pretend they were but still no one said a word and they all eventually advanced into the formal dining room as they awaited the last guests, Mia and her family.

Kulap lingered back, the arrival of Mia any second being his verbalized excuse but not really wanting to interact with any of his family his true reason.

The insincerity and snobbery of his family suffocated him, not to mention he had lost count of the number of proverbial knives he had stuck in his back... all gifts from his loving family, he was in too good of a mood, his anticipation for tonight and this weekend uppermost in his mind and he did not want this killjoy of a family to ruin it.

The door chimed again and Kulap waved away a servant as he stepped up to the door and swung it wide seeing Mia and her parents on the doorstep, he greeted them with his natural warm gentle smile.

Mia's parents, though austere, had always treated him more like a son than his own parents ever did.

He chuckled a bit as all three people stared at him with different levels of surprise, their eyes wandering up and down his body with varied looks of astonishment.

"Kulap dear," Mia's mother started to say then stopped before trying to speak again.

"You look..."

"Finally, not dressed like you're about to go to a funeral?" Mia chimed in with her characteristic whim of saying whatever she wanted.

"Mia," her mother scolded, turning to look at her before looking back at Kulap with a look of discomfort.

"I was going to say, you don't you look like Summer," she assured the young man before turning to look back at her daughter with a look of reproach, though my Mia's expression, the sentiment fell short of connecting.

Kulap laughed not offended in the least.

LGC STYLE (SPRING 2024): MY STYLE, MY RULES word count: 446

jaehwa doesn't have a fixed style. she can look cute and girly on a sunday date and trendy like a gen z fashionista while shopping in hongdae. it all depends on the occasion and her mood. so when she was asked to showcase her style and favorite items, the staff were shocked to see her enter the studio with two pieces of luggage trailing behind her. some might have mistaken her for someone heading overseas for a schedule after filming.

"let's start with the basics." she opened the white luggage, revealing an array of plain solid-colored clothing. only someone with sharp eyes would notice the absence of muted colors in the pile. "basics are like staples, so i tend to have a lot of them. they're easier to mix and match. besides muted colors, i have every shade of the rainbow and neutral shades, making it easy to coordinate my outfits."

she flipped a cloth over to reveal the other side of the luggage, where girly and flowery pieces were neatly folded and stacked. "i call these my spring-summer outfits because flowers represent spring. spring gives off a youthful vibe, which explains the girly outfits." in truth, she was covering up the actual reason: these were the clothes she wore on dates.

"and in this luggage, i call these trendy pieces," she announced while unzipping the bag. inside were clothes commonly spotted in the younger generation; mesh tops, low-waist jeans, cropped camis, joggers, baggy tees with prints, and tops with holes in questionable places.

"some of these, like this cami, are perfect to wear alone. however, others require layering. the current y2k trend involves layering or mix and match. this is where my basics come in. for example," she picked up a pair of light-washed denim jeans and a baby cropped top with some word printing on it. to complete the look, she added a white cropped chiffon outerwear with bell sleeves. styling the clothes on the table, jaehwa added a black handbag to complete the look. "tada! here's one look."

she then grabbed a striped cropped top and matched it with a denim skirt, throwing in a neon-colored, thick belt. "voila! the second look. i wear what i like, honestly. even if it doesn't work, i can always match it with something else to create a whole different look." finally, she fished out a chain necklace with a tiny 'j' charm on it and waved it in front of the camera. "as for my favorite item, i've been wearing this quite a few times recently. i'm into necklaces of this style nowadays. it's a great statement piece and gives my neck area a little pizzazz."
