Today is finally the trial schedule for your very own numbered suit.

You wanted to fight with style, thus rejecting designs offered to you that might’ve already resembled the other numbered suits. Izumo Tech tailored it with a pencil style skirt that goes around your mid-thigh and the upper body is styled to appear as a crop top, with the regular numbered bodysuit underneath both of these layers. To some, it might be uncomfortable; but to you, it’s beyond perfect.

This, by all means, is not necessary, but Headquarters insisted—the reason being “acknowledgement of strength” and “just in case another nationwide cataclysm ensues”. Which is fairly valid; anything can happen anytime. Such as the situation you’re in right now.

For some reason, Soshiro’s suit started attacking him. Not by mistake, no; it’s obviously deliberate! You badly wanted to stop them, but you know you can’t, not with how hostile the tail currently is. The suit’s trial result is more credible when sparring with another numbered suit, hence Soshiro’s required presence. Watching from a safe distance, you hear Soshiro yell.

“What’s gotten into ya?! We were perfectly in sync just minutes ago ‘n now you’re actin’ insane!” He’s deflecting the tail expertly with his dual blades, but obviously struggles with it because he can’t put distance between himself and his very own suit. “Are you tryin’ to kill me?! And here I thought you’re one heck of an admirer!”

“I’M NOT TRYING TO KILL YOU! I’m stalling time!” the Kaiju countered.

You then hear Kaiju no. 10 address you, “Oi, Girlie! Run while you’re at it!”

Confusion took over your features and you pointed at yourself, saying, “Me? What for? Aren’t we uh, supposed to actually fight? I don’t have any plans to run from a fight—”

“Run from HOSHINA! Not from a fight!” it bellowed. 

Ah, now you’re even more confused. “Shouldn’t I be escaping from you, not him?”

Kaiju No. 10 seemed to get angry at this, finally spilling the beans for his sudden attack. “I think this guy’s turning into a Kaiju himself! He’s gotten insane, what a lunatic! One moment he’s coming up with fighting strategies, the next he’s thinking of ruining your suit and devouring you the moment you stepped in!” Its tail tried to smack Soshiro at the back of his head. “You bastard!” 

“Pfft…” 

“This guy was also thinking of something like, blowing out your back til you see stars?! The hell even is that! Is that a new way to kill?! Hoshina, you’re a traitor!”

Upon hearing it, you can’t help but burst into laughter, forearm holding your stomach. Tears formed in your eyes and you ended up rolling on the floor, stopping their fight midway and looking over at you. “I’m sorry— it’s just too funny!” you tried holding back your laughter again, “I-it’s just, pfft…, I’m sorry!” and you laughed again.

Soshiro sighed and sheathed his blades, scratching the back of his head. “Told ya to listen to me. You just made a fool of yourself, No. 10. And ya didn’t need to air out my business!”

“O-oi! Stop laughing! I tried to protect you from this bowlcut, what’s so funny about it?!”

Finally, you managed to calm yourself down. “Nothing, nothing! I’m pretty sure Soshiro meant that metaphorically. I’ll tell you if you need to attack him again though, I promise!” you hear Soshiro mumble, ‘But I meant that literally’ in which you playfully smacked his head.

“Can we proceed to the suit trial now? Thanks for giving me a good laugh.” you said. “And dear, I’ll be looking forward to that later.” you winked.

TS2: Lingerie Mannequins by Locarik

I happened upon these amazing meshes years ago after I downloaded a few lots from Cradle of Darkness (I'm not sure which one, but I think it was one of Maryata's) and I've been obsessed with them ever since.

They have these soulless, dead eyes while also being in these flirty poses so they're sexy but also creepy. Sort of Victoria's Secret by way of Silent Hill.

I meant to release these back when I posted the Bella's Secret set, but life got in the way, so here we are now.

Nitty-gritty and link under the cut!

I believe Locarik is a Russian Simmer, but it doesn't seem like they've been active in a long time so I wanted to give these ladies a good scrub by updating them to be less resource intensive & more recolor friendly. GUIDs are unique so if you have the originals they can co-exist.

The original versions had a recolorable head and body, but the underwear was hard-painted on the body so each outfit recolor also included the skin pattern underneath (which made them huge files since skins are 1024x1024 by default).

I remade the meshes into new objects and I joined the head and body into one group (skin) and made a second layer just for clothes (lingerie). My skin file is a little clunky at 2048x1024 and has a lot of negative space, but if you're interested in recoloring the mannequins all you need to do is find your head & body of choice and plop them onto this template in Photoshop or GIMP (face images tend to be 512x512 and skins 1024x1024).

The lingerie subset can now use any Maxis underwear or bathing suits you already have, and your recolors will be a much more manageable file size.

But, a few caveats:

(1) The lingerie mesh is actually a bodysuit that ends at the thighs. Underwear textures with garters, leggings, thigh high socks etc. will get clipped on this mesh. Boyshorts should be okay, anything longer may look funky. I did try to make the lingerie subset extend down the legs to the feet, but the meshing was too chaotic to make it work.

(2) The crawling, sitting, and kneeling models are in pretty contorted poses so the textures get squiggly in some parts (especially bra straps). Your mileage may vary with more complicated or highly detailed textures.

(3) The standing mannequin is the PARENT object, the other three are CHILD meshes. Be sure to recolor the tallest gal in order to change the textures for all.

They'll be in General > Dressers for §299. I included the three recolors you see in the preview pics.

If you can read Russian and know where they live online, please let me know); Eir/Eir-Sims/Eir-Ung for the mannequin skin (I believe they are also permanently offline).

Turns out I never fucking posted the "Fierce Deity Link is Link's buddha mode" rant. So here goes, modified from the messages I sent to my little brother over a year ago, otherwise I can't get peace of mind.

In the game, Link actually becomes a buddha, and the Fierce Deity form is when he reaches that state/unleashes that aspect of himself. Fierce Deity isn't just a sick ass name for the form, it's literally a type of deity mostly associated with Tibetan Buddhism, if I'm not mistaken. Fierce deities, also known as wrathful deities, are basically aspects of buddhas that protect others from threats to enlightenment (Majora, amirite?) and clear the path for that in a spiritual sense.

How does Link acquire the Fierce Deity mask? First he has to help everyone in Termina to get their masks, THEN he has to give all of those masks, his possessions, away. Off the cuff, I'd say giving up your earthly possessions is one of the bigger tenets of Buddhism as a whole.

And now let's take a nice look at Fierce Deity's design. If a character's design is good, every part of it has a purpose.

What is the dominating color of the design? That's right, it's blue. You shouldn't be surprised to know, then, that blue in Buddhism symbolises wisdom, purity, and healing.

Fierce Deity has a dark blue bodysuit underneath. Well, in Hinduism (which is honestly kiiiiiiiiind of adjacent to Buddhism) blue skin is basically a sign of a heavenly, enlightened being. And that bodysuit Fierce Deity is wearing sure is tight enough to look like skin.

His eyes are white. In a lot of cultures this usually symbolizes possession, but in Buddhism specifically the Buddha is often depicted with his eyes only partially open, which could leave only the whites of the eyes visible. Similarly, his hair is white (I'd argue silver but same thing in this case), which is the color of purity. Also usually in pop culture, especially in Japanese media, silver hair is the mark of an exceptional and often a supernatural character.

As for the patterns on his face, all I can think of is kabuki makeup, kumadori. I haven't found any evidence that makeup like that is used in Buddhism. In kumadori, red color is used for heroic characters, while blue is used for villains. Why Fierce Deity has a blue pattern despite being a hero, I have no clue. Red and blue colors can be used together in one pattern, but the blue always carries a negative connotation. But moving on, in the official illustration Fierce Deity seems to have red patterns in the place of eyebrows, but in game they're brown despite him having white/silver hair. Well, in kumadori brown makeup represents monsters and non-human spirits, which is kinda fitting in this case.

Moving on, Fierce Deity has a crescent moon on his armor. I'm not entirely sure if it was made into a crescent moon only to make it clear that it's a moon symbol, or if the crescent itself represents something. But the moon in Buddhism symbolises truth and enlightenment according to some source I managed to dig up once and then lost. It could also represent the mind in itself. The moon does have some meanings deeper than I can get to, but it's also important in denoting significant days for Buddhism in the lunar calendar.

The triangle symbol is also pretty vague. Legend of Zelda has the Triforce, but this is only one triangle, not all three, so it might have another meaning. In Buddhism, according to some sources I could find, triangles symbolise the "three bodies of buddhahood" which are the bodies of ultimate reality, bliss, and the physical body we all have.

Then let's look at the three gems Fierce Deity has on his neck. It's not just some meaningless bling to tie the design together, because they do have a meaning. As a set of three, they likely symbolize the Three Jewels of Buddhism, where each stone represents a part of buddhahood: the Buddha, the dharma, and the sangha. These, in layman's terms, mean "the exemplar", "the teachings", and "the religious community" respectively. So I suppose that in Fierce Deity Link's case it means that he takes part in all of these aspects and thus is enlightened.

Lastly, the sword. It could be an extremely stylized vajra, a kind of a pointed battle club that is an indestructible and irresistible force. There's a lot more symbolism behind the vajra than just that, though. The sword could also be based on something called the "infinite knot" which overlaps itself without beginning or end and symbolises infinite wisdom and compassion among other things. The sword has one blue and one green blade. Blue is, again, wisdom. Green, on the other hand, means peace and balance.

Also, the line "could this mask's powers be worse than Majora's?" when receiving the Fierce Deity mask is pretty clear when you know what kind of being he is. Fierce deities deliberately make themselves appear demonic and terrifying to scare away demons. He's also meant to be op, not just as a treat for the player for getting all the masks, but because that's what fierce deities are. Also it's rich coming from the literal villain of the game who dies in the next 3 minutes thanks to Fierce Deity.

All in all, 11/10 design. To make it any clearer that this is Link as a buddha you'd have to slap a lotus flower or a dharma wheel on that bad boi

Ways To A King's Heart

Book: The Royal Romance Pairing: Liam Rys x MC (Jade) Rating: T Word count: 1138 Reading time: ~4min Summary: After a long and tiring week of work, Liam will be rewarded with two things he craves the most. Based on the prompt: @kingliamappreciationweek Day One: Baklava Author’s note:

Thank you so much to @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes for hosting KLAW again 😍

This piece is set about a year after the wedding, before they have kids.

The sound of joints cracking echoed on the walls as Liam approached the Royal Apartment doors. The king and his wife would travel to Valtoria the next morning in hopes to have a quiet time away from the hectic life they have in the capital. However, it also meant working overtime and less time spent with his wife before the trip. He didn't realize how tense his back was until he stretched a bit before opening the door. After a long week of meetings, conferences and analyzing documents, he couldn't wait for his one week break in the woods.

As he opened the door to the Royal Apartment, a rich smell of nuts, spices and butter wafted Liam's nose. Traveling preparations to Valtoria often included Jade, Hana and part of the kitchen staff cooking many kinds of homemade pastries they'd take to Valtoria Community Center. Yet, this particular combination of smells ignited a feeling the king rarely gave in to.

"Jade?" He called, placing his jacket inside the closet.

"In the kitchen!"

On his way to the kitchen, his mouth watered, but he shook his head. "It can't be..." He thought to himself. She didn't know how to cook it. 

But as he stepped into the kitchen, his jaw dropped. Wearing a silk robe partially covered by an apron, Jade bent over to pick up a tray from the oven.

"Good evening, love." 

She smiled and proceeded to place a tray of brownies on the cooling tray.

"It sure is..." He mumbled, ogling his wife's round rear and toned legs as she bent over again to place a tray of cookies in the oven. 

"Excuse me?"

"I said 'good evening to you, my queen'." He smiled. "Is everything ready for tomorrow?"

"Yep," she answered, removing her kitchen mittens to set the oven timer. 

Liam eyed the counter with many boxes of sweets already packed to go, but no sign of what he thought she had prepared. Perhaps his senses have deceived him.

"Have you been cooking all afternoon?"

"Pretty much." She simpered and ambled over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck for a kiss.

"All by yourself?"

"No. Hana and Chef Nico were here earlier to help. Hana just left."

"Did they actually let you cook this time?" Liam joked.

"Hey!" She shoved him playfully. "Mind you, I did most of the cooking. I left just for a couple of minutes to shower and change. It was too hot in this kitchen."

His eyes traveled from her lips to her neck and décolletage as his hands rested on the small of her back. "It still is," he murmured.

"I know, right?" She fanned herself with one hand, apparently oblivious to the real meaning of his comment. "Go sit on the lounge while I grab some drinks for us."

Liam glanced at his wife one more time and left for the lounge slightly disappointed. Jade rarely didn't respond to his flirting and it only happened whenever she was mad at him. Was it too subtle? Had he lost his touch after so little time of marriage?

As soon as he sat on the sofa, his eyes widened in surprise. Carrying a tray with two glasses of wine and a large plate of his favorite dessert, Jade walked in with her robe open, revealing a sheer bodysuit underneath it.  

"I hope you like what you see..." Jade bent over, placing the tray on the coffee table.

"I honestly don't know where to look first."

A mischievous smile played on her lips. 

"You've been really busy and we've barely seen each other this week, so I thought you deserved a treat for your hard work."

"How sweet of you, my love," he said as his eyes followed his wife as she sat beside him. "But I'm having a hard time figuring out what's the treat here."

"If the baklava tastes good, it's the treat. If it doesn't, I'll stick to plan B."

"Which is...?"

"Abuela always says the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. But I wondered 'why should I take the scenic route if I can take a shortcut?'"

Jade then slid to the opposite side of the sofa, removed the hairpin tying her hair and it cascaded over her shoulders as she rested her calves and feet on his lap.

"Clever. Though I have to say the shortcuts you take always seem quite scenic to me," he said as his hands caressed her legs.

"Oh, trust me. It's so hard to make phyllo dough from scratch and it's so complicated to use it..." She grimaced. "Sex is definitely the shortcut."

Liam chuckled. "I think you did great so far. It looks and smells amazing."

"Now we need to know if it tastes good too."

"Okay."

The king then reached for the plate of baklava and put a small piece in his mouth. The flaky buttery dough with almonds and honey syrup perfectly blended in his mouth. Memories suddenly pervaded his mind: warm summer breeze, the nutty smell of almonds, kids' laughter, opulent table decorations, hiding under the table to steal baklavas from his mother's brunch with her friends. A smile spread across his lips and he took another piece.

"Is it good?"

"Good is an understatement. This is heavenly," he grinned, sipping his wine.

"Oh, thank goodness!" Jade sighed in relief. "Well, I guess I won't resort to plan B."

The queen then proceeded to close the robe around her frame when Liam immediately reached for her hands to stop her.

"I don't think we should dismiss plan B just yet," he said, lifting one of her hands to his lips before opening the robe again. 

"What?" Jade frowned, pretending to be wounded. "But you just said the baklava tastes heavenly."

"And I stand by my word. Your culinary skills soon will put the best pastry chefs to shame, my queen," he said, pulling her flush against him and gently kissing her lips. "But..."

"But...?" 

"One small piece of baklava has hundreds of calories," he murmured as he gently brushed her hair aside and leaned in to kiss her shoulder.

"Does it?" 

"It does." He whispered as he peppered kisses along her neck and jaw until he stopped just a inch apart from her lips. "We're going to have to burn all those calories somehow."

"I did find a great shortcut to your heart, huh?" She grinned.

"And you know it like the back of your hand, my love." 

Liam captured his lips in a long searing kiss as she unbuttoned his shirt and unbuckled his belt.

"What about the baklava?" Jade asked.

The king then reached for a piece and lifted it to her mouth, his eyes darkening as her lips   brushed against the tip of his fingers. "I think this plate is going to be empty very soon."

Sharing mischievous smiles and kisses, the couple continued to disrobe each other to savor a pleasant first night of their one week break.

Metal Bat x Fem!Reader 🍋

A scenario in which reader finds themselves with a rare moment alone with their hero boyfriend, Metal Bat(Baddo) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You couldn’t wait for school to be done, your boyfriend had texted you earlier saying to come by his place for a special date night. Little did he know just how special it was about to be.

Packing your bag and tidying the rest of your belongings, you made your way to the gates of your school only to be surprised by the love of your life.

“Hey darlin, I hope you’re ready for our date tonight,” he said wrapping his arms around you in a tight hug and giving you a light kiss on the check.

“Is Zenko going to be joining us?”

“No, we got the whole place to ourselves. So i was thinkin’ maybe grab some food to go and make the most of it,” he said with a small smile.

There was just idle chitchat on the way to the ramen shop nearest his house, talking about his day of slaying monsters and your day of wanting to yeet yourself out a window from listening to your maths teacher drone on and on about nonsensical equations. Maybe the slight scolding from you towards Metal Bat for once again ditching. He whined about how he can’t be a supportive big brother, a hero, and a boyfriend without some sacrifices. You chuckled and looked at him with a soft smile squeezing his hand slightly, both of you opting to walk to his house in blissful silence.

Sometimes you were amazed with how you scored a Class-S hero as your boyfriend, you two were complete opposites. You were more soft spoken, gentle, and had the body strength of a singular dry noodle, while Bat was loud, intense, and had muscles chiseled out by the gods themselves.

There was many a night you couldn’t sleep due to dreaming about what it would be like to finally give yourself to your lover, you thought about the way his body would look and more importantly what his cock looked like, the length and girth, if he was more veiny or not. The way he would feel stretching out your tight, wet, virgin pussy.

“Ya good babe?” He asked. Uh-oh, you didn’t realize you had slipped off into a daydream, a slight blush forming on your face as you stepped through the gate.

“Yeah, just lost in thought,” what you wanted to say was more so along the lines of *no, i need you to ravish my whole being, take me and make me yours* but you were trying to play it cool. He absolutely saw right through your bravado. (What? You didn’t think you were alone in these feelings right?)

Metal Bat also had a dirty secret of his own, one involving using his hand and his own dirty thoughts about what you looked like underneath your school uniform. The nights he was too horny to sleep, he would often think about you, how your soft your breasts would feel opposed to his rough and calloused hands, how your pussy would feel and he pumps his hard cock in and out of you. How tight your walls would grip his dick as you come undone around him.

After taking off your shoes and putting the few bags on the kitchen counter, you made your way to the bathroom to change in privacy. Thankfully you remembered to bring the lingerie you had bought to school with you. It wasn’t anything extravagant, but the way the light blue coloring complimented your hair, skin, and eye color, you just couldn’t pass it up. Plus it was like five dollars on the clearance rack. You put on some old sweatpants and shirt Baddo had given you a while back and made your way to the living room.

You walked in to see Baddo spread out on the couch, already having a program on tv to watch while eating. While you did enjoy spending time with him like this, your thoughts from earlier still had you feeling hot and bothered. You couldn’t stop thinking about how he would feel on top of you, how soft his chest would feel against yours. You hoped the lacey bodysuit wouldn’t get ripped apart since he was known to be pretty impatient.

He looked at you from the corner of his eye, taking in your small frame, wondering how your baked body would feel pressed against his. How absolutely debauched your perfect face would look in wanton pleasure. How desperately he wanted to be the source of your moans, and how much he wanted to make you scream his name.

“Hey Baddo,” you spoke first, breaking the silence.

“Ya?”

“I… I really want to fuck you,” you were surprised at your own boldness, but you had literally been dreaming about this man destroying you in the best ways possible.

“Yer serious?”

“Absolutely, i want you to be my first,” a blush spreading across your face.

He pick you up bridal style and carried you into his bedroom. Laying you on your back he hovered over you, peppering your face and neck with kisses while one hand was slowly reaching the bottom of your shirt. With a look and a nod from you he kept going, gently lifting it up and up until he hit a different fabric.

“What the hell is this?”

“Guess you’ll just have to keep going and find out.”

He kept dragging the cotton fabric over you until adjusting you to fully take it off, next thing to go was your sweatpants until the sheer lacey fabric of the bodysuit was all that covered your body. It was a shame to not leave it on but you shuffled it off so that it wasn’t in the way later.

“Holy shit, yer fuckin’ perfect babe,” he said nearly breathlessly, eyes not looking away from your body even as he got up to take off his own clothing. You could see his dick struggling against the confines of his boxers, and audibly gasped when it sprung out of it’s prison. He was a lot bigger than you imagined, you were almost concerned with not being able to walk afterwards. Almost.

“Like what ya see?” He coyly asked, taking his place on top you. Dipping his fingers into your soaking folds, his breath hitched. “Damn, yer already so wet for me babe. Are you ready?” He asked, eyes filled with lust and concern.

“Yes, please take me,” you said wrapping your arms around his neck as he lined up his cock with your soaking pussy.

You could feel him shudder in excitement as he slowly started pushing into you. His eyes scanning your face for any sign that you might want to stop.

“Holy shit, yer so tight,” he moaned out.

“Fuck, your cock is so big,” you were moaning, but aware of the foreign feeling in the pit of your abdomen. It didn’t really hurt, it just felt a little weird as you didn’t really know what it would feel like.

You couldn’t control your moans as he buried himself all the way to the hilt. Begging him to pick up the pace, he obliged your request. His own moans matching the volume of yours, neighbors be damned.

The sounds of skin slapping against skin and moaning filled his room.

“Fuck babe, I love hearing the sounds you make. Yer so fuckin perfect, and yer all mine.” The only reply you could muster was yet more moans as you felt that almost fiery knot grow.

“You’re.. you’re going…to…make me cum,” you sputtered out between moaning his name.

“Then be a good girl and cum for me. Ya dont know how much i wanna feel yer little pussy squeeze my cock as ya cum baby.”

That was all you needed to let go. Shaking and practically screaming his name, you came hard around him. He wasn’t too far behind you, picking up his pace and his thrusting becoming erratic. Groaning and and moaning your name he pulled out and came all over your stomach. Reaching over to the nightstand, he grabbed some tissues and cleaned his mess off you before laying down next to you

“I didn’t go too hard did I?”

“No, you felt absolutely amazing. I love you so much Baddo,” you said still trying to catch your breath.

“I love you too,” he said placing a small kiss on your forehead.

Chapter 4: The Pandiro Bird's phone number is one

You may be wondering why the chapters have been fairly long, when this is a 34,000 word long book with 43 chapters. I am confused about this, too. I assume there must be a load of super short chapters later on. Who knows.

Anyway.

“So…?” A man was sitting on a chair next to a computer. He was talking to a man in a black bodysuit, standing nearby. The man pulled off his hat and balanced his gun against the wall.

Here we go.

“I got the parents,” the man said, unzipping his bodysuit and pulling it off, he straitened his normal clothes which were underneath, and walked closer to the other man. “And the children…?” “They got away.” The man on the chair looked very angry. “You managed to kill two trained fighters who are on the side of Gevirians, but you failed to kill their two daughters, both of whom are younger than fifteen and are not trained?”

I'm pretty sure these guys are related, but something about this reads incredibly gay to me.

The shooter is quickly introduced as David, not Anthony. So maybe A.S. isn't the shooter, but something else? At least I gave him a name promptly enough to avoid lines and lines of dialogue spoken by two men / figures / voices.

David tells the other man that the kids got away on some kind of wooden car thing. It looked kind of like a boat.

“You know, David,” he said, shaking his head. “People only fail here if they die or if they feel sorry for the Croes.”

I'm pretty sure he failed because he's an idiot, actually.

“Well, it is a bit stupid, don’t you think?” said David. “What?” said the other man. “Well, er, boss, do you know how this whole thing started?” “No. No one who’s alive does know. But what I do know is that it was them who started it. We presume it was mass murder.” “Yes, but what if it was a stupid reason?”

So... no one knows how this feud started, even the guy who just killed two people in front of their children over it. Maybe his stupidity the last chapter was intentional. He killed the parents, was so overcome with remorse that he knelt down on the sofa to pray, and spent the rest of the chapter trying to tell the kids how sorry he was, but his darn gun kept shooting for no reason.

David's boss tells him that the reason these people need to die is that they've killed so many of their own family. Which... seems like something David should already know.

“The last time we had a major conflict with these people about twenty of our men died and about ten injured.” “I heard it was Gevirians. Not humans.” “And a child. One of the people you killed, the mother, her mother was involved in a massive fight in Hinilton Castle.”

I'm not entirely sure if David is talking about Gevirians being killed or doing the killing, presumably the latter.

I also have no idea why I can't just use real place names. I have to make them up for... reasons.

Is David's boss going to go into the gory details about what happened at the expertly-named Hinilton Castle? Are we going to find out Layane's grandmother is a murderer? Did she kill children, too?

The man who had been sitting down walked up to a filing cabinet and took out some paper. He scanned down it. “Oh… some people found out more information in there,” said David. “About some of the more powerful Gevirians’ weaknesses. It’s very interesting… well worth a read.”

Of course not. He's going to get distracted by a folder of information about the Gevirians.

It turns out they don't know where Hiville is, but they have a folder of information about it from... somewhere. It's unclear where. Anyway, they chat about the Gevirians for a while. Nothing particularly interesting.

“Yes, I suppose. I’ve never seen one. They must be odd.” “Yes, I suppose they are. They do have four ar…” His boss looked at the paper, a shocked look on his face.

I really want the four arms thing to be a Reveal, huh.

His boss looked at the paper, a shocked look on his face. “What…?” he yelled in surprise. The man sat down again, squinting at the paper. “What is it, boss?” “Just, just there… it says that once two guards managed to find an artefact from Hiville, a book. It was chained shut. It was claimed if you opened it your enemy could unleash it’s power.” “We discussed it last week at a meeting,” said David. “We decided it was just a legend.”

Me starting the meeting where we discuss a powerful underground civilisation and the children we're going to murder for reasons.

And...

Okay. Two guards found it? They found the book... that was in Hiville? But they have no idea where Hiville is?

Let's not think too hard about that.

Ignoring the fact it doesn't make any sense for them to have this information, why doesn't the boss know about this already?

And who would open the book if it gives your enemies ultimate power?

At least this lore makes a bit more sense for the plot than the last book's. If you open the book, your enemies will control the book's power, so obviously these idiots need Layane or Clemant to open it.

David's boss pulls out a cigar and starts smoking. He's clearly excited by this evil book.

“Did you say the children were in a boat?” “I think so.” “They’re going to Hiville.” “What?” “They must be. We need someone to follow them,” said his boss. A grin appeared on his face. “Or something…”

That makes a lot more sense than the last draft, where they used a search engine to find information about Hiville. In 1986.

“Er, the Pandiro…It’s going to be destroyed,” said David. “It’s called itself Pandiro. And anyway, it’s way to dangerous, way, way, way too dangerous. And it’s not a it really, she’s alive.” “I know,” said the man. “Well, she was born as a bird. So it really is a she. A bird, morphed onto human DNA…” “But you asked for other DNA to be added in as well.”

I guess it's the Pandiro bird now? Wasn't it the Pardiro bird in draft 1?

*Checks.*

Oh, at various times I called it both Pandiro and Pardiro in draft 1. Whoops. That completely went over my head when I read it the other day.

Anyway, it's time for our best gal! Who has bird, human and other DNA apparently. Not going to question that. At least she has DNA.

The Pandiro bird is due to be killed, but they think they can persuade her to help them, in exchange for... money.

Not her life?

Okay.

“Get her on the phone,” said his boss. “There’s one in her cage. The number is 1.” “Just ‘1’?” “Yeah, just one.” David picked up a phone nearby and dialled one.

I don't think I knew what speed dial is. This is me making a joke. The joke is that her phone number is one.

I mentioned to my fiancée, after she read the draft 1 stuff, that I think I used to find unexpectedly big numbers funny. There's a dragon with a million heads. Someone with eighteen arms. She then pointed out that clearly I still do, because there's a few occasions in my most recent book where large or unexpected numbers are used for comedic effect.

I wasn't convinced.

Then yesterday, when I was working from home, I asked one of my colleagues to check how many of a certain flyer we have in the office. She replied, 'millions of (flyer title)' and I burst out laughing.

Numbers are funny, okay.

Also. The bird has a phone in her cage? The bird they are about to kill for being too powerful? The bird who can force anyone to do anything? I assume the phone can't make outgoing calls? Right?

David's boss talks to the bird over the phone, so I'm not sure why David had to dial. He asks the bird her terms, and is shocked by her response, which we don't hear.

“She’s agreed to be paid,” said his boss. “How much?” asked David. “Oh… Not in money,” said his boss. “Well, what in?” “I’ll let her tell you.” David held the phone to his ear. He could only hear breathing down it, he wondered whether this was only a prank and the boss would never really use the Pandiro for anything… But then he heard a screeching down the phone, a piercing notice that made his head spin… and he collapsed, holding the phone to his ear. “What the…?” he yelled. “She wanted to use her voice again,” said the boss. “Pretend to die.” David held his breath, and his boss snapped the wire from the phone. “She said she wanted to use her voice to kill someone, so she’d better not see you,” he said. “I put the phone on a different setting so it didn’t come out to bad.”

Metal as fuck.

But also: what's going to happen when the Pandiro bird finds out he isn't really dead? How did she buy that? Come to think of it, if all the bird wants to do is murder, why didn't they get her to kill Layane and her family? What's to stop her from killing David and -

Ohhh. I just remembered that the boss' name was Alex in draft 1. I think it was only mentioned once. So he is probably A.S.

But back to this for a moment... what phone settings would you use to stop your relative / colleague / hitman being killed by screeching?

“She’s too dangerous!” yelled David. “She can do what we tell her, or she can disobey us. She may have a bird’s body, but by god she has a human brain and that just showed us!”

Oh, the horrors!

On that dramatic note, the chapter ends.

[nitewrighter]

Ok, with beast boy’s og costume, you like the mask, hate the red and white color scheme.

Any thoughts on raven’s og look from the 80s? Her normal cloak over an evening gown and pumps. Fashion wise, I think it looks great, but it doesn’t seem to fit her personality wise, not then and definitely not now.

Though I imagine a modern story could call back to it, having her forced to wear the ensemble for a formal event.

Really not a huge fan of the 80's costume. I like the earrings gleaming under the shadow of the hood, but pumps? Really? Though yeah I agree it could be a fun callback in a formal outfit for her.

For me, on a design level, Raven is one of those characters where, I like her so much and she has so much going on that I'm pretty much never satisfied with whatever look they give her. DC Superhero Girls? Ew. Bombshells? Corny and lazy. Injustice? UGLAY. I know with the 03 show, the leotard had a lot of haters, but I honestly liked the leotard--I was in gymnastics as a kid, so I always thought there was something very elegant and ballet-adjacent with the long-sleeved black leotard, and this leotard also had the additional cool factor of the high neck. It's sleek, it's graceful, it's the look that made me fall in love with Raven's character to begin with. Plus, it was sportier than the high cut half-your-ass-hanging-out evening gown, and that meshed well with the overall looks of the team on that show despite her powers being more magic based than superhero sci-fi like the rest of the team. I also kind of like that it was slightly offset by those soft-looking short boots--those and the gem accents and the little sleeve cuff things added a little fantasy element to the outfit. I WILL say the DCAMU won me over on the sleeveless + long gloves combo by making them fingerless gloves.

I don't like when Raven's outfits incorporate too much of a 'bird' theme. So much of the time feathers just make her outfit look terribly busy, or it really doesn't match her restrained cool attitude at all. I do admire the ballsiness of the New 52 weird feather bone Griffith-Berserk-Eclipse-looking helm, but that look never really felt like Raven, at least it didn't feel like a Raven who was herself, if that makes sense.

For me, the ideal Raven look is one that brings to mind night and water, sleek silhouettes, fabrics that hang with a certain sense of weight but can also swish and sweep around dramatically. She's more of a shadow than a bird, to me. My design challenge for DC artists is "Forget about the bird thing for 10 seconds: How do we indicate to people that this is a half-demon interdimensional wizard girl, without making her outfit too busy?" Gem element good. Feathers bad. Don't worry about the bird--she can literally bring her own bird to the party with her Soul-Self.

I actually do like outfits of hers that turn the high-cut dress into more of a surcoat/overdress for like... a full superhero black bodysuit underneath. I am not a fan of the transparent looking tights, either make them opaque or keep her legs bare--sheer tights is just such a weird middle ground that doesn't feel like something she'd wear.

But yeah, anyway this is how picky I am when it comes to Raven's designs, haha.

[floofysmallbob]

ok I just could not wait to post this design

this is such a hypocritical thing to do because I was so pissed at how impractical all of the costumes were and then I pop up with this. I would just like to say, I tried to get my friends to convince me not to give him a corset, they told me to do it.

I don’t know how to feel about this design…

Also, I would have changed his hero name, but I thought it was funny

So, here’s my design for Sparkling Hero: Can’t Stop Twinkling

Added extra laser outputs(heel, elbow, and back of hand)

heels because yes

less tacky glasses

it was very unclear how the costume transmits his laser to the other parts of his costume so I did include things to connect them all, even if it looks like he took costume advice from Midnight

(he probably did)

corset is made from the same sturdy material as his og armor

navy bodysuit

i essentially took everything wrong with the girls’ outfits and gave them to him

HOT WEATHER VERSION:

top part of the bodysuit is mesh

slightly lighter bodysuit

actually that’s pretty much it

thicker and darker bodysuit

gloves underneath the fingerless ones with the laser

lined, taller boots

lined cape

lined corset

fluffy collar

probably stole the idea from ashido

or vice versa

this is the most impractical shit I could have conceived in my life

let me know thoughts, advice, tips, and any recommendations for who to draw next

TBB S3E6 Reactions

Alright, in lieu of an analysis this week, you guys get some extra long reactions from me. Spoilers for Infiltration under the cut!

- Pantora: These onion-top spires are very cool.

- Nice poncho Rex but we can all see those tally marked scratches peeking out from underneath it.

- The Clone X theme hits HARD even when it’s only the first notes of it

- GS-8! Senator Singh! Howzer! Man the Kiners weren’t kidding with the Leo meme

- Okay Senator Singh maybe if you’ve been in hiding you shouldn’t be wearing your native cultural garb in case you stick out 🤓

- Tea?? Riyo?? I wanna have tea with her ☺️ also I want that teapot haha

- Always love the political aftermath of the clone wars and the humanizing of the separatist movement

- Singh has a little helmet recorder like Tech does…interesting

- One clone X boy coming up

- RIP Greer

- Rex is 🔥 catching that grenade…thankfully not literally

- Stripey helmet—that’s Nemec or Fireball, right??

- It really took 3 stuns to get that CX to drop. What has Hemlock been doing to them?? Are they pumped up with something to give them more endurance?

- Fireball mention!! So that’s Nemec with them.

- Wow Teth is gorgeous. I would not have remembered what this outpost means to Rex if it hadn’t come up during the trailer

- A clone base!!! This is SO FREAKING COOL (and has so many implications for the fic I’ve been writing)

- What is with the little knee socks on these bodysuits. They just look so silly

- Although Howzer’s extra pouches are also up there for hilarity points

- Ew they yanked out his tooth

- “You’re still one of us” is he though? Is there anything original left in there?

- Part of me feels like Scorch has been brainwashed too.

- “Why have I been activated” lmaoooo grumpy boi

- Internal homing device?? Greatttt

- How Rex says Tantiss 🥺

- Howzer ready to throw some hands (first of many)

- Rex’s face when he’s worried about Omega 🥺🥺🥺 he just wants to protect her and the Batch

- This is the story of Omega and her toothpick 🤣🤣

- Crosshair shaking his head at her even though he probably gave it to her 🤣 (also dear lord how does he look SO PRETTY here nursing that toothpick with his eyes glowing in the dark. Ugh I can’t with this man

- Gregor mention!

- Man Echo is not wanting to answer Hunter’s questions lol

- Omega is approaching her teen years now, Hunter. Of course she’s going to be copying her emo big (little) brother. He looks both glad that they’re bonding and also worried that they’re the reason Rex needs to talk to them.

- Still think Rex looks naked without his pauldron. I do love the detail that the paint on his shoulder underneath it would be much brighter and less worn than everywhere else, though

- “Good to see you, Rex” 🥹

- Hunter and Crosshair’s little glance.

- “Interesting contacts” what the heck does that mean Echo?? What have you been doing acquiring illegal weapons parts?? I mean they’re not illegal but they’re not exactly the norm either

- Their little salutes 🥹

- Lil stealth bomber jet vibes on this ship. Yes I will admit that looks like the Tech Turn as he touches down

- “You’re gonna have to back down Captain” the boys are so back. Only Hunter gets to mess with his brother and vice versa

- Lol everyone thinking that if you’ve been on Tantiss you automatically have the coordinates of where it’s located. Hemlock’s too smart for that, guys

- Crosshair looking solely at Hunter when he says “I’m not loyal to the Empire any longer” 😭😭😭 like his approval and understanding is the only one that matters

- Poor Omega does not want to talk about what she’s been through 💔

- Kind of surprised they don’t know what M-count means but it also makes sense. Obviously Rex has heard it mentioned from Anakin or Ahsoka but they don’t know the implications

- Okay, Rex, for the rest of this episode—I love you but WHERE are your security measures???? How does CX just waltz right in the front door and you don’t even have an alarm or key code or anything???

- Gregor canonically cooks!! Looking at you DJ 😄

- Crosshair’s description of the CX program is TERRIFYING. He can barely make himself talk about it. He was close to becoming one of them?? How is he walking around with all that knowledge and Hemlock didn’t wipe his mind if it? None of this is good. My poor boy.

- Gosh Rex sounds so tired.

- Crosshair sounds TERRIFIED.

- How does CX run so fast?

- Interesting that they give the woozy perspective of the other CX as Crosshair comes into the room

- Okay let me reiterate for you all—Crosshair is absolutely terrified here. Similar to Tech, this man is almost unflappable. If he’s scared they all should be hightailing it immediately. What the hell has Hemlock done to these clones??

- Does the CX truly recognize Crosshair? And why would Hemlock still use the designation “brother” as part of their programming? All this mind control stuff is making the chips look like child’s play

- Okay but in all seriousness, what if most of the clones being put through the undercover program still have their chips installed and those somehow can be reactivated or enhanced again? Crosshair does not, therefore it’s much harder for Hemlock to persuade him

- That sniper shot was insane. As was that creepy laugh.

- Some of the dialogue in these episodes is feeling unnecessary. Omega pointing out where shots are coming from is a little obvious

- Fireball 😢😢😢 at least you lived up to your name

- And goodbye monastery

- Woooooolffeeee. Armor as amazing as always. What the heck has he been up to to get put on missions like this. We’re one step closer to getting the old man Seelos gang together.

[cipher-legal-and-ethics-dept]

What are Cipher peon uniforms are made from? I feel like they're durable enough for a peon with gymnast skills and stuff. I wonder If there's adverse effects or how to take that uniform off

Interesting question. I've given this some thought so I'll sum up my ideas starting with the Colosseum Cipher uniforms.

Looking at the design, I would say it has to be some sort of fabric. The fabric in question should have the following properties:

Temperature regulation. Orre is a desert region, which means extreme heat during the day and cold nights. Considering that a crime syndicate is most likely not bound by traditional work hours and the peons ideally shouldn't have to change twice per day, the uniform needs to be made out of a fabric that helps with regulating body temperature and protects from overheating and hypothermia.

Protection from the environment. Aside from the temperature, Orre also has various environmental hazards that the peons would require protection from, including but not limited to wind, sand, sharp rocks/otherwise difficult terrain. I would guess that this necessitates a certain thickness of fabric.

Durability. Tying into the previous point, the uniforms also need to be durable in the face of damaging events, both to protect the wearer and to maintain a certain level of integrity of the clothing. However, it doesn't appear to be designed to serve as armor, therefore it isn't expected to withstand things like a gunshot or a knife attack or stronger Pokémon attacks (unless some sort of additional protection is worn underneath).

Flexibility. Being criminals, the peons have to get in and out of situations quickly, need to be able to hide and engage in Pokémon battles and apparently also enjoy climbing and clinging to ceilings. Due to this, the fabric can't be too thick or stiff or it would restrict their movements too much.

I'm not well versed enough in clothing and fabric-related stuff to tell if such a fabric exists in real life or one that comes close to matching these properties. Since we're talking about a fantasy world in which magical creatures exist, I'm just going to say "it's a special Orre thing"; considering that the ruins in Orre hint at people having lived in the region for a long time, it definitely wouldn't be a stretch to assume that Orreans figured out how to make clothes and fabrics that serve them well in the desert, much like real life cultures in extreme environments.

As for the XD peons, it appears that Cipher upgraded to armor after all. Design-wise, it's reminiscent of storm trooper armor from Star Wars, a sort of light white plate armor worn over a bodysuit. I imagine that the suit below is made out of the same or very similar fabric as outlined above and that the armor pieces are made of a fairly light material to maintain mobility and speed (they still seem to be climbing ceilings just fine). I would guess that the armor plates and helmet can withstand knife/claw/teeth attacks pretty well, but am not sure if they would be bullet-proof. Lots of Pokémon attacks, especially those of the "elemental" variety, probably circumvent both light and heavy armor just fine (unless the material can be infused with any sort of "magic" shield qualities), but I also don't think the XD uniforms are meant for the peons to act as tanks. My guess is that the design philosophy is to eliminate the threat of most environmental hazards and weaker attacks while also letting the peons be fast and agile if needed.

As for removing the uniforms, the Colosseum model should be relatively straightforward, with its combination of a coat (?) of sorts (with or without a shirt underneath, I'm admittedly not entirely sure), pants, gloves, boots and helmet. The XD model would be more annoying to put on and take off due to the armor pieces that need to be properly attached and detached.

As for potential adverse effects, I imagine that, unless the fabric is really, really good with the temperature regulation part, the wearer requires additional hydration, especially with the XD uniform due to additional weight and heat underneath the armor plates (maybe I'm just a clueless idiot, but I haven't heard of breathable armor yet... except maybe chainmail...? Lol). They should also take off their helmets occasionally to avoid headaches. The gloves, good for protection and concealing fingerprints though they may be, also seem to have a good amount of thickness to them, especially with the Colosseum uniform, so they might not be ideal for precise tasks.

BTBB Designs

Under the cut for length, written descriptions of all the kids appearances!

Side note, all students wear their class band! I'm... pretty sure I've shared the lore about those, but they're bronze bracelets that identify students by both class, and talent.

Hatano Hair: Has short, curly hair (3a, looser curls). Her hair is cut short, it's not the most defined because she spends so much time pulling it out of the way, and washes it more frequently than is best for her curls, so it's not the most voluminous. Doesn't really have distinct bangs, but has stray pieces that fall over her face a bit. Shirts: Dark red jacket, slight purple tint. It's a hoodless zip-up, wears a light gray t-shirt underneath. Pants: Dark blue denim skirt, cool toned and gray tinted. Has black calf-length running tights on underneath. Shoes: Running shoes, primarily the same color as her jacket, and gray socks. Misc: N/A, bar her class band.

~*~

Higa Hair: Would have curls (3c/4a) but has fried his hair; not meaning "oh he uses relaxer", he uses a straighter religiously, and is heat protectant averse. Brushes his hair back away from his face once it's straight, but has some stray pieces falling forward. Shirts: White button up, worn under a brown, plaid sweater vest. The main color of the vest is dark brown, secondary color is light brown, tertiary is a golden yellow. Button-up is tucked into his pants, sweater vest is not. Pants: Black dress pants, does wear a belt, but it's only partially visible/is only visible at certain angles and positions, because of the vest hanging over it. Shoes: Brown dress shoes. Misc: N/A, bar his class band.

~*~

Inori Hair: Short undercut, the hair that isn't shaved isn't long enough to go like... past her head, but she's able to pull it back, so that's exactly what she does. Shirts: Non descript black hoodie. Probably has a logo for the hospital she works at, but that necessitates me designing the logo. And that is so not happening. Has light blue scrubs on underneath, but her shirt isn’t visible. Pants: Light blue scrubs. Shoes: Black slides, has white socks on with them. Misc: Wears a mask (light blue) out of habit. Habitual mask wearer (also light blue). Tends to talk low, so if I made sprites, she'd have it pulled down in some, because it's easier to parse what people are saying if you can see their lips.

~*~

Iranami Hair: Long hair, tied back into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon. Has side bangs/face framers, but they aren't too significant, and are long enough she could still gather them into her ponytail. Shirts: Has a sleeveless black bodysuit on, it covers her collarbones, and ends right at her neck. Wears a pastel pink mesh top over the bodysuit. The top is entirely off her shoulder, it's hem sits at around her chest level, it's held on with a mix of will and skill. It has loose sleeves and a loose fit, so either her arms are held out enough that her shirt is able to hang off them, or her arms are against her sides, and are pinning the shirt against her. Why? Aesthetic. Pants: Loose pastel yellow pants. They're very flowy, if she stands right, it looks like a long skirt. Shoes: Has a pink sneaker on her right foot and a blue sneaker on her left. Her pants meet her shoes, so her socks aren't visible, but they're black. Misc: Wears gloves, they aren't fingerless, but instead, have only the tips of the fingers cut off. Blue glove on her right hand, pink glove on her left. Has face paint on, but she's between designs there for now </3.

~*~

(directly copying this from discord)

COUGHS COUGHS COUSGHS OCSHCOSSUHCNOSU. dies. (........ placeholder)

~*~

Kobashikawa Hair: Has locs, the longest ones are about halfway down his neck. Has had to redo some, but most of them are rooted, they're a bit over two years old. Has a few gold spirals around some of the longer locs. Shirts: First layer is a white short sleeve, only the collar can be seen. Over that, wears a dark blue v-neck pull over, it's pretty thin/light, has a loose fit. Wears a black aviator, which has fur lining it (though only the fur on the collar is visible), which he removes during chapter 2. Pants: Dark brown jeans. For the sake of differentiation, it's between the primary and secondary shade on Higa's vest; they're lighter and warmer than the primary color, and a bit less saturated. Shoes: White and blue sneakers. They look expensive. Misc: Has a pair of old fashioned aviator goggles he wears around his neck, notedly are always lopsided. Has a thin gold necklace, lacking any sort of pendant. Wears a few gold rings.

~*~

Kurokawa Hair: Long and wavy (2b) hair, has simple bangs which she straightens. Shirts: Black v-neck short sleeve shirt, and a purple cardigan, which is longer than her shorts. Cardigan has two front pockets, mastermind confiscated the bag of items she brought with her, but was kind enough to fill her pockets with some trinkets, such as the smelling salts she had. Pants: Black running shorts, they have white trim, and are fairly short- come to around her mid-thigh, if that (in part, theyre short because shes tall). Shoes: Has custom made sneakers from a collab she did, they've got a white/purple/black color scheme. Her socks (color dependent on what goes best with the color distribution on her shoes) go past her ankles, but aren't too long. Misc: Sports a variety of necklaces and bracelets, but any rings are on necklaces; she doesn't like how they feel/gets nervous about losing them. No set designs on these, I imagine a lot of them incorporate crystals.

~*~

Maeda Hair: Very messy, choppy hair; it isn't too visibly a hackjob, but it's uneven in weird ways. The longest strands aren't able to reach his shoulders, but they do go down his neck. Has bangs, but they aren't really combed to fall straight across, so you can see his forehead at points. Also has face framers. Shirts: Plain white shirt, long sleeve. Wears a patchwork cardigan, comprised of large knit squares. Fits him pretty loosely, cardigan ends at around his wrists if he's standing straight. Knit squares sporadically alternate between three shades of green. Pants: Blue straight leg jeans, they're a bit faded from wear. Ripped, and a bit dirty- there's a few mud stains towards the bottom of either leg, and he has his jeans cuffed. Shoes: Plain black running shoes, white socks that go above his ankles. Misc: Obtains a rose quartz pendant from Kurokawa during the prologue. Shape is generator tower and it's on a silver chain. Pendant rests around the middle of his sternum, well below his collarbone, he wears the necklace under his shirt around 50% of the time. Has a lot of hair ties on his wrists (5-10), they're all black.

~*~

Maki Hair: Long, and straight, her hair is still blonde, but it's a less saturated shade than canon (more similar to viable shades in real life). She has dark red lowights, and her canonical orange hair has been dyed over with the same red. Shirts: Wears a dark green mockneck, and a dark brown chore coat. The mockneck is a bit cropped, but her pants are high waisted, so her midriff isn't visible. Pants: Black cargo pants, they’re a bit big on her, she has them cuffed so the ends hit the top of her boots. Shoes: Black combat boots. Misc: Has black fingerless gloves, they're knit.

~*~

Mekaru Hair: Long, with a slight wave. Naturally has curly hair (3b), but she never learned how to care for curls, only how to keep them from forming; years of doing this means she's able to brush her hair out, and rather than getting frizzy, it just negates most of the curl. Shirts: Wears a dark green sweatshirt, with a white button-up underneath. The collar of the button up is visible, along with a button or two. The sweatshirt probably has a logo, but... see Inori's hoodie. Pants: Wears a black knee-length skirt, most similar to a pencil skirt, but it isn't form-fitting/doesn't cling to her legs. It's straight, doesn't flare out, pleat or fold, but she's got more mobility than would be allowed by a pencil skirt. Has sheer black tights on underneath. Shoes: Black oxfords. Misc: Still wears glasses, they're round, with a wire-frame. She's near sighted in her right eye, far sighted in the others.

~*~

Ōtori Hair: Accurate to the Valentine's themed art Linuj made for popularity poll results; but without the spike! Slightly messier, he still has his side bangs, but there's more stray hairs here, and his main bangs are also a bit less concentrated. Shirts: Wears a black tank top, has a dark purple hanten on over it. Hanten is a bit modernized, so it's a bit less padded than traditional. Inner lining of the jacket is red, and there's non-descript dirty gold accents on the pattern. Pants: Dark blue slacks. They're straight leg, and fit fairly loosely. Shoes: Black loafers. Misc: Has a simple silver ring tied onto a silver chain worn around his neck.

~*~

Taira Hair: Choppy bangs, on average they come just past her eyebrows, but the ends are inconsistent lengths. Has side bangs that end around her chin, and the rest of her hair is in two double buns, which are tied down, closer to the bottom of her head, as opposed to being formed at the top. Shirts: Wears a dark green zip-up hoodie. It's zipped up most of the way, but you can see that she has a black shirt on underneath. Pants: Blue jeans, they're on the lighter side of things, but aren't pale. She's drawn on them + has some stray embroidery-esque stitching, but there's no explicit canonical design for this detailing. Shoes: Nonslip black shoes. They're sneakers, but they can pass for work-appropriate dress shoes. Misc: N/A

~*~

Tsurugi Hair: Similar to canon, except Tsurugi cuts his hair himself, and is incapable of not fidgeting with it. Has a bit more motion, some more stray hairs, but no noticeable changes to length. Shirts: Wears a white athletic shirt, it's short sleeved and loose fit. Fabric is very lightweight and flowy, length is a bit odd; if he lifts his arms, he would be in dress code trouble, but similar to Maki and her high-waisted jeans, he's saved by his jacket, which he has tied around his waist. It's yellow, and at rest, the shirt pools on it a bit. Pants: Dark blue jeans, they're baggy and slightly ripped. Shoes: Black converse. Misc: Wears a RIC hearing aid on his right ear, it's yellow. Has string bracelets on both forearms, and has a plethora of bandages on; he prefers patterned or brightly colored ones. Has three bracelets; his class band, a plain silver bracelet, and a bracelet composed of a silver chain.

~*~

Tomori Hair: Straight, it's a bit longer than shoulder-length, reaching the top of her shoulder blades. Has straight-across bangs, they're thinner than Kurokawas, and lay a bit less evenly. Shirts: Wears a white camisole under a yellow cardigan. Cardigan is a lighter shade of yellow, is buttoned up, and ends past the belt loops of her jeans. Camisole is slightly loose, and has thin straps. Pants: Green straight leg jeans, they have pink flowers embroidered on the sides, going from her knee to her ankle. Shoes: Pink and white sneakers with yellow laces. Her socks are green, but they aren't really visible. Misc: Golden earrings. The base of the earring is a small star, two chains hang from it, each ending with another small star.

~*~

Uehara Hair: His hair is shoulder length, he has half of it pulled back (half up half down, the part that's pulled up is in a very sorry excuse for a bun, it's a mess), and has bangs. Uehara's hair is fine, so his bangs are on the wispier side of things. Comparable to a curtain bang, they get longer the further down his face. Shirts: Wears a cropped blue hoodie, it's cropped. Nothing saving him from getting dress coded! Typically I match colors to hair/eyes to a degree, just for consistent palettes, but Uehara's hoodie is darker than his eyes. Pants: Wears black jeans, they're crust pants. He's working on them, he's got ~10 patches on at the moment. Mostly things he's been given, but there's a few custom made ones. Notedly, has two interlocked Mars symbols embroidered on the cuff of one of the jeans. He chose that spot since he can roll down his jeans, and tuck the embroidery away under his boots. Shoes: Black platform boots, they're similar to Doc's in build (ie height, etc... Jadons), but he doesn't have 200 for shoes. They've got large white lilies painted where his heels are- only on the outer sides, there's three on either shoe. Misc: Has a lot of piercings (face and ear), and made to fade tattoos around his knees. Nothing firm on the piercings, but I tend to like hitting everything when I draw him; eyebrow piercing, minimum one nose piercing, something around the mouth, etc. Doesn't have as many ear piercings as he'd like, because a bunch of them are still healing. Likes chains for his piercings, but tends to just go for simple studs since they're best for sleeping in. Has a small, thin, silver rosary, which isn't really seen since it's worn under his shirt.

~*~

Yamaguchi Hair: Canon compliant, has a white beanie on. Shirts: Wears a red pull over, it's a bit visibly old, there's holes worn into it. He can probably pass it off for street style. Has a dark green undershirt on underneath. Pants: Black dress pants, also has a belt on. Pullover is sort of french-tucked. Shoes: Black and grey shoes, they're similar to Taira's where they're sneakers, but could pass for formal wear. Taira's are more formal/professional than Yamaguchis. Misc: N/A

Fursuit Lifestyler brainstorming part 1.

This isn't going to be overly serious but it's just me conceptualizing my dream fursuit which would both express my true self and be as easy to function in as possible.

The actual style of the suit will be a mix of kigurumi and kemono with my own artstyle as a primary influence on it's proportions. It's species will be the same chimera as me; A snow leopard with horns and barn owl wings.

The main body will be pretty easy save for how it will transition into the forarms/handpaws and calves/feetpaws. I'll just use a dyed, lightly furred bodysuit.

Imagine the texture of the image on the left, the shape of the image on the right. The colour would basically just be stylized snow leopard fur; silver and white with black spots. Padding may be added to further define body features such as the chest, but preferably it would be a tight enough fit that the padding would be unnecessary for that (I have no desire to change my general body shape).

This would be worn under a full set of clothes (sans undergarments which would obviously be worn under the suit) and would not be worn on its own.

On the lower arms and legs, padding or longer faux fur may be added to help smooth the transition to the forearms and calves.

The legs will not be digitigrade, and the calves/paws will be much larger than the rest of the leg and kind of blend into eachother. The paw pads will be squishy and made of some form of waterproof material. (Ideally, the entire suit would be as waterproof as possible, but with the amount of electronics I plan to put in it that may be unrealistic.)

The forearms would also be larger than my actual forearms and the paws would be large. They would be fully mobile, but have a sleeve which allows me to slip my hands out from underneath for things like writing, drawing, and typing. The paws would also be as easily cleanable as physically possible to avoid carrying around dirt everywhere. I would also make the claws retractable if possible, which i've seen others do.

I think I'd also have a second, slimmer forearm set with a set of paws much more similar to normal gloves which would allow me full use of my hands.

The tail would be very large and controllable in some way, possibly through a set of buttons or maybe even sensors for non-manual controls. I could even have the cameras which control my eyes (back to that later) also read my facial expression and perform certain movements in response.

As for the head, it will be a mix of kiguruimi and kemono style.

It will have the structure of a kigurumi head, but also have faux fur around the sides of the face rather than solely minky. It will also, ideally, have a movable mouth, movable ears, and digital face-tracking eyes.

The eyeholes of a king mask fall at the cheeks of the wearer's face, so I'm not overly afraid of visibility since i'll probably add seeing-holes around the eyebrow area. I have also entertained the idea of buying a used phone, adding cameras to the outside of the suit, and essentially making a makeshift VR headset inside the suit; I have no idea if this is possible.

Moving ears have been done on kig suits many times before so I'm not overly concerned on their level of possibility. My main concern is the mouth.

The only moving-mouth kig masks I've seen have looked like this

(cr. Hypebrother)

I've considered doing this sort of structure and having the minky or felt act as a sort of "skin" over the sides of the mouth to make a non-horrific and realistic-ish mouth look. However, this would significantly limit facial expression which, while not a deal breaker, would be a bit disappointing.

The only option I can think of is the mouth part of the mask being made of latex or silicone but even that would be limiting and, at worst, look extremely uncanny.

So, I'll probably stick with the first minky-skin option.

I have no idea how far I'll go with this but it's nice to put some ideas down on the screen.

I'll tag all these as #dalisuit and update this little journal thing whenever I feel like it.

anxious anon back,, imma parrot what mintyvoid said but yee the complex outfits and dynamic poses are so pretti!! i'm curious are you referencing bits and pieces from photos n such or is a lot freestyle of the top of your head. bc like there was a couple of ai pieces especially where you popped off with his outfits. there was a gorgeous multicolour one from dec 2020 and a white bodysuit with gold swirly accents n stuff and i think a lilac cape from 2023?? those 2 especially are stuck in my head

most of the poses i do are freestyle i probably have seen enough cartoons and people that i have some basic stuff down i can pull from. if its some certain angles i cant place well i find ref esp if it has to look good for a piece i put effort in or is paid n stuff. as for outfits that colored one was kinda random if u mean the jacket with the mesh thing underneath but the white bodysuit i also pulled out of nowhere. i think the main thought i had for that was the sleeves and i just put the rest of the stuff on as it went. so its a double edged sword it can end up working great or turns to trash

Ranking Belle's outfits from the official Instagram account (uworld_belle) based how much I like them

Hi I'm sick and bored

Red flower dress : 10/10 Great recreation!

This white dress: also 10/10, i like the use of lace. Wish we could see the full design

This one: 6/10 objectively nicely styled but the pattern on the mesh shirt looks ugly, if it was something less cluttered it would be a cuter look. I didn't even realize it was a mesh shirt with a tank top underneath until now because of the pattern. Also how are her earring attached to her ears??

white dress nr.2: 8/10 Only back shown but i like the idea

This: 0/10 Belle sweetie I'm so sorry they put you in this outfit. The ugly sequin dress with ruffles and puffed sleeves. The fishnet stockings. The boots. The ill matching pearl necklace. Just Ugly

This one:7/10 No full shot but hey that's some interesting jewelry. Plus I think the shot is pretty

This nr.2: 0/10 This one and the black sequin dress are fighting for the title of the ugliest dress I've ever seen. Not even Belle can make this pretty

Green fit: 9/10 give her better glasses and she's great. I like the green and the necklaces. Rounder, thin gold wire glasses would match the necklaces i think

Pajamas: 10/10 not much I can criticize about pyjamas lol. Nice color and print

Orange winter fit: 4/10 I don't hate it as much as the two awful ones but I don't vibe with this

Metallic dress: 7/10 Looks cute but making the shirt and glove actually metal would make it look better, the printed on pattern makes it look cheap

New Year's Kimono: 10/10 Vibrant blue looks good on her and the patterns look nice. She looks very polite

White dress nr.3: 10/10 Cute and simple design, can't really go wrong here

Mesh shirt: 8/10 only the shirt visible but it doesn't have a pattern like the previous mesh shirt so I'm scoring it higher

"Red carpet look": 5/10 nice but boring

white dress nr.4: 4/10 sequin/gemstone bodice, and black sparkly heels to a dress with no black in it. No jewelry aside from only 1 sorry bracelet

white dress nr.5: 6/10 This one is simpler but looks better. Plus she remembered to get some jewelry

White dress nr.6: 9/10 Reused white dress number 3, but removed the collar and pants and added different shoes

Concert(?) outfit: 2/10 The pattern idea is interesting but the shape of the dress is so unflattering and just makes look like she was dressed by a grandma. The heels are nice but nothing groundbreaking. Pales in comparison to her actual concert outfit from the movie

Magazine Uniform outfit nr.1: 5/10 the shape of the dress is nice i guess? She would rock a gown in this shape

Magazine Uniform outfit nr.2: 8/10 elegant and simple but the fuzzy sleeve is a choice

Magazine Uniform outfit nr.3: 3/10 Designer bag by Niels Peeraer is really cute but doesn't go with the outfit at all. Belle is meant to be a fashionable girlie and you put her in a fucking trench coat and what looks like a bodysuit with a funky pattern. The 3 points are for the bag itself. The bags by this designer are actually really cute, but also stupidly expensive lol.

ok byee
