I'm kind of confused about the history of ETC, Did it basically start out as a offshoot of Shirley Temple cute in larger sizes for older kids/teens?

Shirley Temple started out as a kid's brand in 1974. They have had a bunch of sublines, but the important ones here are Emily Temple and Emily Temple Cute. Emily Temple was launched as a juniors (older kid's / tweens line) in 1983 and they produced children's size 150 & 160. In the US, this is like how we have the 14 & 16 size in little girl's clothing which can still fit teens and petite adults. Emily Temple 150 and 160 sizing tends to be shorter and more boxy.

In 1999 they launched Emily Temple Cute which was an adult's line. This was likely either aimed at young people who grew up wearing Shirley Temple and were sad they were sizing out of it, or the mom's of the kids wearing Shirley Temple so they could match, it's not super clear.

Emily Temple Cute in Kera 2002 Emily Temple and Emily Temple Cute were both in production at the same time from 1999-2001. Around this time both also would use Shirley Temple custom textiles.

Shirley Temple in 1999 with the same print Around 2002, Shirley Temple restructured their sublines and dropped Emily Temple. They still made some size 150-160 stuff, but they color coded their stuff by how formal / casual it was instead. Their blue line which made things that looked more like formal wear still made 150-160 size items most seasons, but it was less common from their red and pink casual lines.

Emily Temple Cute made casual and more formal pieces, and continued to do so until 2012.

Emily Temple Cute, Kera 2003 In 2012 / 2013, Shirley Temple was doing really badly. They closed a bunch of stores, filed for bankruptcy and in 2012 Emily Temple Cute became Emily Temple Co., Ltd. and no longer was part of Shirley Temple. After that point, the two are separate businesses. The new Emily Temple Cute launches an online store in 2013 and becomes much easier to buy overseas at this point.

In 2017, Shirley Temple launched Shirley Temple for Ladies, which is another adult's brand. ST for Ladies is much more "grown up" than ETC, with more toned down motifs.

Shirley Temple for Ladies 2022-2023 Shirley Temple Sister, which exists today, is their current size 150 & 160 brand. However, the current models for the brand are quite young.

The middle model is a model for their toddler (children's) line, while the left and right models are modeling their sister (tween) line, I believe.

Emily Temple and Shirley Temple Sister are both shorter and more boxy shaped than Emily Temple Cute and Shirley Temple for Ladies. tl;dr version - Yes, Emily Temple Cute is an adult's brand that is an offshoot of Shirley Temple, the children's brand.

dnd oc idea where a pair of sisters are also a pair of swan maidens. One of whom is on a quest to retrieve her stolen feather coat while the other comes along to help. The one with her missing coat is your stereotypical high femme swan princess archetype, with the Old School Disney Princess voice and flowing long hair and high and dainty features. Her sister on the other hand, is a butch lesbian, and tends to stay in her swan form 90% of the time.

the high femme swan princess is a monk, while her beloved sister is a wizard.

the thing no one in the hazbin hotel fandom wants to admit is that Alastor is not a good person. he is a dick. he only helps the hotel for his own self-gratitude. he didn’t claim to consider Charlie as a sort of daughter because he actually liked her, he was just trying to piss off Lucifer. he doesn’t care about anyone’s well being unless their death would be less than beneficial to him.

Alastor is not a good person.

Adorable note by Sayuri Sasai, showing a Tanabata (star festival) celebration in old Edo.

They stress that Tanabata, and its tradition of writing wishes on tanzaku (paper strips) before tying those up on bamboo, spread among Edo commoners thanks to the terakoya (temple elementary school system) which increased literacy.

The boy is anxiously wishing for his handwriting to get better, and below him you can see how the classical rectangular tanzaku could also be shaped like notebook, abacus or writing brush, or watermelon or gourd - something popular among young students ^^

The street peddlers below offers Tanabata related goods such as bamboo stalks and the tanzaku papers. Besides them, a popular summer dish of somen (cold noodles) is eaten for good luck (the longer the noodle, the longer the life).
