let's talk about the mizuena costumes from ena5!! because!! there's so much to say!!

let's start with the cards composition overall. the trained versions clearly are meant to complete each other and mizuki and ena are clearly facing each other; we can infer this from the lighting, the background, and the composition. ena extends her hand to mizuki, and mizuki smiles openly at her. they are both crying out of happiness and love. as many have already pointed out, when mizuki's card is placed on the left, the cherry trees and the girls' silhouettes form a heart shape 🩷

just as their cards complete and perfectly mirror the other, so do their costumes. in the lighting of the cards, the costumes seem completely white (*cough* mizuena wedding real *cough*), however, they are have accents in a lighter shade of their character color (beige for ena, and pink for mizuki). both ena and mizuki are wearing a wreath of white cherry blossoms and leaves.

mizuki's main headpiece is on the left side of her head, while ena's is on the right. both headpieces feature two white cherry blossoms, close to each other, embraced by cherry leaves. the headpieces and their location complete and mirror each other. both ena and mizuki have a second, smaller headpiece, for both of them on the right side of her head. both the smaller headpieces feature one lonely cherry blossom, which for ena is surrounded by 6 leaves, whereas for mizuki only by 2 leaves.

their earrings also match/mirror each other!! ena has one earring with an incomplete cherry blossom with only 2 petals on her right ear, whereas mizuki has a fully bloomed cherry blossom earring on her left ear. on ena's left ear is an earring that again, features a cherry blossom with only 2 petals and a single leaf. the same earring, but whose cherry blossom only has 1 petal, appears on mizuki's right ear. it's like they got 2 sets of earrings and split them between them!! and they mirror so well! god!!

now let's move down. their dresses match, however they are very different, and showcase their personalities and hobbies. ena's dress has beige accents, and the beige belt reminds me a bit of the painter outfits ena has already got (e.g. the outfit for ena1 or her colofes outfit). mizuki's dress has pink accents, in the form of a pink bow that calls back to her hobby of creating clothes.

on their chests, is a big butterfly. both butterflies only have one wing that is colored, whereas the other is white. again, they complete one another. as someone pointed out, whereas ena's butterfly is completely pink, mizuki's fades from blue to pink. across cultures (including japan), butterflies symbolize change and transformation, and mizuki has often been shown with a butterfly motif. now, everyone in the set (ena, meiko, kanade, and mafuyu) also proudly display a butterfly on their clothes. they know now.

butterflies have many symbolic meanings in japanese culture, but i would like to point this specific meaning out, please cry with me. giving mizuena beautiful white dresses with two butterflies whose wings complete each other...... oh im unwell.

another element from the outfits that matches are the rings that mizuki and ena are wearing on their index finger (on the right for ena, and on the left for mizuki, mirroring one another). the rings are identical, and feature a pink cherry blossom and a silver band. in hanakotoba (japanese language of flowers), cherry blossoms typically mean kindness, gentleness, and stand as a symbol of the transience of life. im literally crying typing this... ena's kindness and gentleness truly reached her and crystallized in matching rings spare mee

notice how meiko (the only other character with a wearable outfit from the set) isn't wearing a ring, and neither are kanade and mafuyu in their 3* and 2* cards respectively. which you know. could mean nothing.

both ena's and mizuki's dress features 4 cherry blossoms on a branch. again! they! mirror! ena's blossoms are on the right side of her dress, whereas mizuki's are on the left. ena's blossoms rise up, and mizuki's run down.

both the backs of their dresses feature an opening (wider for ena and smaller for mizuki), bolder accents in their character color, and matching bows located at the same height. ena's bow is tied together with a pair of white cherry blossoms, and so are her braids... she loves mizuki so much. im okay.

they match down to their shoes!! ena's shoes (on the left) have pink laces and cherry blossom petals and overall pink accents, whereas mizuki's socks are beige.

now let's talk about meiko's dress. for meiko, the butterfly is not on the front of her dress, but on the back. on the front, she has two branches with cherry blossoms. bith branches feature a pair of blossoms, which i like to think represent mizuki/ena and mafuyu/kanade respectively.

as someone already pointed out, meiko's asymmetrical hairstyle seems to call back to ena's and mizuki's default hairstyles: ena's braid and mizuki's long and wavy side hair.

anyway. love is real. i wonder if they are holding the wedding ceremony at the lone cherry tree where niigo went to for their first mystery tour. 🌸🌸🌸🌸

One Day on the USS Enterprise

Spock: [working at his console, as usual]

Chekhov: [much weaker than usual] K--Keptin on ze Bridge!

Spock: [raises eyebrow, but turns to greet the captain]

Kirk: [smiling, wearing the mini-dress uniform and the chanel thigh high boots] Good morning, Mr. Spock

Spock: [mentally bluescreens so hard he sends out a wave of psychic distress that affects around 1/4th of the crew]

Kirk: ... Mr. Spock?

Spock: thigh--hi-- hello. Captain. I have. Experiments. To see to in the lab. Excuse me. [speed walks off the bridge]

Uhura: [grinning] You look nice today, Captain.

Kirk: [grinning back] thank you, lieutenant.

Total medbay tally for the day: 23 crewmembers psychically concussed, 78 psychically induced migraines (for a number of the crew, this is how they find out they are more psi sensitive than average), 16 lacerations, 5 burns, 1 forcefully sedated Vulcan, and one demand for 6 bottles of Saurian brandy from the Captain by the CMO because McCoy doesn't know what Jim did, but he knows this is Jim's fault (he's so used to Jim's shenanigans that the different uniform doesn't even register to him, at least Jim's wearing clothes.)

Meanwhile, Elsewhere:

Some random Starfleet Intranet Communications Admin: why is there so much comm traffic coming into/out of the Enterprise today?

Fleetnet Admin: [sees a candid holo of Captain Kirk from behind, walking down the halls of the Enterprise, smiling and greeting crew members, while wearing the mini-dress uniform and thigh-high boots that have a small heel]

Fleetnet Admin: oh.

Fleetnet Admin: ...[saves holo]

i really like puppets design

[can-we-talk-socks]

so you're telling me that babylon 5 is a show with a BUNCH of intentional queercoding (russian winters, transfem delenn, etc), but "didn't you want to talk to him?" "more than you'll ever know" and "i won't be coming back from babylon 4, and if you went with me, you wouldn't make it back either" AREN'T A PART OF THAT???????

[porcelainleviathan]

Erica Wester (Of @welcometohellfilm ) is my favorite animator/creator because she really sees all the fanart the community makes and goes "Bro that's so smart. I should have done that. You are so right." (If my memory serves from reading through the blog and tags, this is also vaguely what happened with Sockathan, but that may not be true)

Shes really just like the rest of us frfr.

anyway i'm always fascinated with bill genuinely liking mabel for her chaos but trying to suicide bait her just because her brother was getting too close to learning about the portal, bill being obsessed with ford but also would've incinerated him after learning the equation cos he was done playing by the end of w3, bill disliking dipper and enjoying messing with him (he was designed specifically as a mysterious trickster obstacle for dipper in the first place after all!), and bill hating stan and spending decades ignoring him

Experimenting in my lab with my pet homunculus

[bannock-freak]

say what you will about Watari and the L-factory orphanage and the age-appropriateness of looking at gruesome crime scene photos but at least Watari saw this little gremlin kid's hyperfixation, autism, and intelligence and like accommodated that, worked around that, and let L be himself and a person as opposed to Light who like got shoved into The Chokee or w/e and became deranged because of it
