Kaito's Bear of the Day: Monokuma

never in all my years would I expect to see him as a boardwalk game stand prize, but here we are. To all my friends living in the US: If you choose to celebrate, don't forget to have fun with your families and friends first and foremost + DON'T BLOW YOUR FINGERS OFF WHEN LIGHTING FIREWORKS!!!! If you don't celebrate, whether it be out of choice or because you don't live in the US, I hope you also have a fantastic day with whatever it is you may be doing today!

You CANNOT make a Maria is alive AU and not share the dynamic she may have with Dr. Eggman! Can we see that please?! I feel like he'd be very casual with her when he's not being evil and all that!

I'm now realizing that there's actually not a lot of Maria here. Oops.

It's the Robotnik family!

Arin's favorite properties are the worst in the game. No wonder why he can't win a game of Monopoly to save his life.

Okay this is so random but you MUST be from south Yorkshire too since you know far too much about Barnsley n SY like peel st and che bar I’m literally gagged

google is a powerful tool. thank you for the compliment but i'm not from anywhere near yorkshire. i've researched a lot for beneath the boardwalk and it's good to know it comes off as accurate.

5,6, and 7 for the costume asks, if you have been asked those already?:D

Thanks for the ask!

5. What is your favorite decade of the 20th century for costumes?

Well, a couple of days ago, it was the 1910s. But I've just been rewatching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, so today I'm all about the 1920s! Give me cloche hats, handkerchief skirts, and dropped waistlines!

The 1920s are also sometimes more elaborate and ornate than people remember:

6. Do you prefer strict historical accuracy or free interpretations of historical costume?

Ooh, I'm glad someone finally asked me this one! The short answer is this: all else being equal, give me strict historical accuracy, as close as you can make it.

The longer answer is that I do understand that different films may have different goals, and sometimes strict historical accuracy doesn't match the goal of the film. I can make allowances in those cases and appreciate what the costumer is setting out to do--so, for example, the costumes in Bridgerton don't upset me. Except where they're supposed to, that is (the Featheringtons are clearly supposed to have appalling taste even within that universe).

But if a film can actually give me the illusion of being transported to a different time, I love that. And glaring historical inaccuracies throw me right out of it.

I also sort of feel like simulating a different historical era has gone out of fashion in filmmaking, compared to films made in the second half of the 20th century. And I think that's rather sad, because it's one of the things movies can do better than just about any other art form. I'm sure it's partly for financial reasons; I read a very interesting post a while back about how costume designers just typically are not given as much time to work on a movie these days.

7. Who is your favorite costume designer?

It's so hard to choose just one! But during the time I've been working on this blog, I've really come to respect Walter Plunkett. He worked with so many different periods of costume, from historical to contemporary. He always did his homework thoroughly, and he took the trouble to understand the rules before breaking them.

I've also got to give a shout-out to Bernard Newman, who designed many of Ginger Rogers' dresses for her movies with Fred Astaire. Those are some of the best dresses ever.

These are the 4 Hub Areas currently in the game! We've got:

The Boardwalk Temple District Sakurafest The Fivefold Keep (which is in the Spirit World!) Right now, the boardwalk is the closest to feeling like a proper hub, the rest of them still need shops, errands to run, and more things to do while you're there! We've been really focusing on making sure the spirit world sections of the game feel right, but a thing we're really excited about for this year of development is to really bring the town and hub sections to life! Robin's motivation throughout the game relies on the town being a place you want to protect, and one of the best ways to do that is to make it a place the player actively wants to spend time in and have downtime when they're not in the Spirit World!
