#but yeag here's the lady

[angermango]

i finally got off my butt and finished up a somewhat satisfactory design for that AU Rachel Bronev I dreamt up aaages ago

I even finally came up with a name! say hello to

Anne Desperée

She's done with being fridged. In fact, she has just broken out of the fridge, dismantled it for parts and used those parts to make a mini-mecha heading to Targent's base right now.

also, the third lot of expression sketches was fun because it made me realise how much Layton and Descole's body language matches up in their sprites/animations. that had to be deliberate right

(+ just ref image sheet below of the loose inspirations)

@toastedatomicbread you didn't specify which one soim going to do some for tfa ratch💪💪ill add for tfp if you ask too

—back pains. so much back pains. and tbh lots of joint pains yeag. Maybe also lung problems and heart issues, so real. He's not in a good health condition but is scared of worrying his team members

—if they have been shown to have like differently tasting things on cybertron in tfa, he'd like some equivalents of bitter/dark chocolate, alcohol candy and zephyr marshmallows. Maybe also condensed milk, blini pancakes. Maybe good at cooking. Meat jelly and pickled vegetables in the basement. He has the vibe of a soviet old lady xd

—has the cybertronian equivalent of sewing, knitting and crocheting skills, maybe also learned sewing human stuff in secret after seeing bulkhead paint. You enter his room and he has embroidery pictures of flowers on his walls, crocheted curtains, and a macrame table cover. He tries to explain himself but the truth is that it calms him down and helps him focus

—makes very good healthy berry tea for those he loves and cares about. Puts rose petals in here too, has a whole lot of dried plants good for curing stuff. He secretly loves decorative porcelain cups but never got them because he's used to needing strong objects in cupboard so they don't break

—complains about stuff like money courses or modern education

YO if i made acrylic charms of this lil horse lady would anyone buy one (be honest im tryna gauge da interest here)

[nalpurex]

i got souyo brainworms again and i gotta share some thoughts i have

this ones a long one so ill put a 'keep reading' thing here just in case yall dont wanna scroll past a wall of text

basically some headcanons about a healthy mix of chad narukami and normal yu, injecting loads of gap moe into this guy

(and it eventually devolves into some weird semi-story because my brains really spiralling here)

okok so, hear me out, chad narukami isnt that bad as an idea...? maybe as a more calm iteration, just another layer to yu

in the p4 manga, we get to see some of yu's backstory. (its been a while since ive read it so i might get some details wrong but) his parents are very busy people, always working and moving around, so yu's always moving around with them

because of this, hes a very independent but also lonely kid. poor guy doesnt talk much with his own mom and dad, and he never really have a good enough chance to form lasting friendships

so when he moves to inaba and starts making friends there, hes like 'oh i really want to keep these guys around...' so he starts putting up a bit of a persona (hah), some cool, unfazed guy that everyone can rely on thinking thats what people might like more. to his credit, it works pretty well, but its a bit stifling for yu himself. hes never had this many friends though, so he'll keep it up

we all know yosuke admires him quite a fair bit as is, just as a dependable friend and a strong leader. he looks up to yu in these aspects, thinking hes basically the perfect guy. (and lets never unpack that thought.) talented, charming, 'gets all the ladies', that kind of stuff

at some point its just the two of them, maybe walking home from school or something, yu gets pretty comfortable and his facade slips a little. maybe he says something completely silly, or heavens forbid theres a stray cat along the road! ("awww look at the little guy, cmeree, pspsps- oh- ahem- uh, its pretty cute...") it surprises yosuke quite a bit. he's thinking about it a lot as they part ways, it was... definitely a new side to his partner, but its also not a bad thing...

after that, yosuke starts noticing more small things about yu. whenever he invites anyone to share his lunch, its always something they like. whenever the IT are talking, he makes sure no one feels left out. he likes cats, a lot more than hes willing to show, and he loves nanako a whole lot too. his partner's... a bit of a softie under that calm and collected vibe, isnt he?

(alternatively, it'd be really funny if the entire IT knew? like "yeah, hes got a straight face all the time and sparkles fly around him whenever he strikes a pose, but hes got a dedicated schedule for hanging out with us and hes always asking when we're free. hes a big puppy, really.")

anyways, yosuke tries to encourage him to show more of this other side of him. stuff like "c'mon, we'll think you're cool either way!" and yu at first is a little hesitant, so yosuke suggests he just try it out with him

he feels some pride about it, because hes the first to learn about this side of yu! his partner trusts him the most, hes the most comfortable around him! (whats this strange other feeling? hm. dont like that.)

yu takes a little more time with the others, but theyre very welcoming about it nonetheless. specifically, they find it very charming! (making cute shapes in your bento? sewing cute stuffed toys with kanji? playing with literally every single stray cat you lay your eyes on? hell yeag.)

of course the facade doesnt completely shatter, because some parts of it are still true to yu. its just that he'll now crack the dumbest joke youve heard in your life with the same old straight face

(aaand now to derail for the sappy stuff huhuhu)

because yosuke's usually the first to be exposed to whatever new shenanigans yu's up to, eventually he starts getting some... weirder things. he brings some of it up to the other IT members and he looks insane, like:

"what? he hasnt been giving you guys origami?"

"why would he? i mean itd be cool, but thats just his part-time job isnt it? hes probably sick of paper cranes!"

"cranes... haha, yeah..." (as he thinks about the row of stupid paper animals sitting on his windowsill)

yu over time starts getting real sweet with yosuke, and he kind of gets the feeling he should just... keep this to himself...? especially when he doesnt see him acting this way with anyone else, and a small part of him wants to keep it to himself. all of this, just for him.

but that would be kind of gay, wouldnt it? hes not gay, is he...? he gets pretty happy whenever yu smiles at him, whenever he does something for him, but its just because he appreciates him as his partner... right?

eventually it all comes to a head when yu invites him to that... that spot high up in inaba. (ykno the one, its got the railing and shit.)

yosuke's climbing the hill, wondering whats yu gonna tell him, and at the top he sees him already waiting there as the sun's about to set on a nice breezy day

he kinda jokes a bit about it, like "damn did you ask me to come here now for the atmosphere?" but yu's strangely quiet

so they kinda just stand in a bit of an awkward silence before yu clears his throat... and confesses to yosuke.

...

they just. stare at each other for a bit. yosuke's at a loss, heat slowly rising in his cheeks, because what the hell?

and then yu explodes into a flustered mess, bumbling about "hey yeah man you dont have to accept if you dont wanna, i was just saying things yknow? you dont really have to-"

yosuke cuts him off, sighing a little. he tells him its okay, hes kinda had a feeling he felt the same way but he wasnt ready yet... and now his partner's confessing to his face, he cant really put it off anymore, can he?

("by the way, did you plan this? like, the timing and everything?"

"i... had a hard enough time saying 'i like you' with a straight face as it was, i kind of had to..."

"... ah.")

[express-archives]

do not ask me what any of this means. i was just typing. i have no idea what this means. uhhh. faye & hestia interactions! yeag. btw idk if anyone would recall but hestia was 22 at one point; i pushed her age up just slightly to 24.

       "Do you loathe it?"

       Faye laughs—melodiously, but nevertheless void of any actual amusement. Her eyes seem to gleam with curiosity and what Hestia believes to be some level of confusion, but to the vision bearer, it is all too clearly feigned. "Loathe what exactly, Ms. Hestia?"

       The other Fatuus blinks, sunset gaze vaguely flicking in the direction of the Ninth Harbinger's office door a few feet away. Assuming that Pantalone is in there, he would not be able to hear through the thick wood of the door, unless she were to go out of her way to make a scene; Hestia knows this for a certain fact, from experience with her own Harbinger's office (not that Rosalyne is often in her office; her work pertains to the field more than it does to logistics or other background operations, and the phoenix themselves tends to use that office more than its actual owner, but upon occassion, Hestia does find the Eighth Harbinger in there). Therefore, they do not hesitate to elaborate.

       "How he treats you," they finally reply, meeting Faye's violet gaze, swirling with something that they cannot quite place. "You are a dog in his eyes, Ms. Faye. Little more than that, I dare say."

       "...Indeed," comes the woman's slow, calculated response. The songlike tones of her voice have been all but swept away by something far colder. "But I do not loathe it, dear one. Perhaps it is hard for you to understand. You did not come from the same place as I, after all."

       "No. I didn't," Hestia admits, nodding. "It is hard for me to fathom."

       "Think of it this way, then." Faye steps closer, taking a lock of Hestia's wavy hair in between her fingertips. "If an inanimate object is offered a chance to be a tool, does it not appreciate its new role? After all, a tool is wanted, but an object typically is not."

       "But you are no object. This analogy means nothing."

       "Lucky little thing you are, Hestia... you must not know what it is like to be one. Unsurprisingly, I suppose, since we have all seen how your Lady treats you."

       Faye smiles. It is empty in all respects and does not reach her eyes.

       ...But then, she pulls back, and her smile brightens. It is as if she has put the mask she so often dons back on, as if she has retreated back into the facade she oh-so carefully built up for herself over the years.

       (Hestia has always been able to see through Faye, however. Perhaps being raised by little more than the snarling winter winds of Snezhnaya and the occasional piece of advice from her sickly father when he found the strength to speak made them more sensitive to trickery. Regardless of what made her this way, the Crimson Witch's adored little phoenix has always known better.

       Faye knows this, so maybe that was what made her so eager to slip out of her act for even the briefest of moments.)

       "Nevertheless, Hestia, we are all here to serve the same cause. We are all comrades, no?" Comrades. The word seems foreign on Faye's lips; she still carries the slightest of Fontainian accents when she speaks, so it does not surprise Hestia that the word still seems unfamiliar on her tongue... but something nags in the back of her mind that Faye is unfamiliar with the word for another reason. "Let's not create unnecessary tension between one another."

       Hestia hesitates, but nods.

       "Very well, then. Off you go. Return to the Fair Lady's side where you belong."

       'You do not belong here.'

       Here, in the Regrator's unit, on the side of the Winter Palace allocated to him and his operations. That is what Hestia believes Faye is trying to imply, and for once, they agree with the younger woman.

       However...

       "Do not presume to belittle me, Faye." The fire in her eyes flares threateningly. "I have been here far longer than you. Do not forget that. I treat you with respect not out of necessity, but out of my own professionalism."

       Faye's smile twitches.

       "Of course, of course," the Electro-bearer dismisses with an elegant wave of her hand. "I mean no harm. You know this."

       "...Sure, Ms. Faye. If you say so."

       Hestia turns on her heel and, without another word, leaves.

i have no pretty storm pictures but here is the wild (?) bnuuy that lives around our new house... her name is lady samuel copperpot & she is SO round :]

[eyelessfog]

GOOD GOOD YOU'VE BEEN OSMOSIS'D. thats all u need to know about mlb. superhero identities. evil guy who makes people villains. its like that but without the animal fairies. perhaps. havent figured out how katherine becomes a catgirl im working on it now basically its s1 shrub and s2 kath.

Shrub

shrubs that small town girl in the big city for college (forestry major)

the wolf spirit is something that's been passed down in her family

got that wolf-like abilities and can summon her wolf pack in a if she calls they choose to answer type thing

her family has like a reserve or sanctuary for the pack of some sort. the wolves, they're a little immortal u see.

originally a spirit of vengeance born from the death of lord mars & lady taurus

through the generations has become more of a spirit of protection for the forest but the vengeful spirits still there

and for more recent holders of the wolf spirit, channeling that vengeful spirit can be very taxing on their body & they lose a bit of themselves

shrub especially is scared to use it since that is how her dad passed but she still chooses to be the next holder

also because uh. whoops! bloodline kinda ends with her! fern passed down a family heirloom to a sapphic asexual

she has celebrity-type sort of surface level crush on night hunter as he's seen her on the news

develops into a regular crush once they become teammates

Katherine

a model. wants to open up a studio

also wants to escape her parents who aren't like supervillain evil just. regular evil.

so she moves to college (fashion major. obviously)

guess who's her roommate

when she's night hunter, she experiments a lot with her costumes as n uses it to express herself

yes ive trans'ed her gender and made her genderqueer

also she has a staff like her inspo chat noir but like. it also turns into an axe and that makes her cooler

it has also made the public question her gender identity multiple times

so theres an ongoing theory is that there are 2 (3?) cat looking heroes running around.

the public altering between diff pronouns when they refer to her definitely gave her that Realisation. not fully. but she's getting there

as night hunter she's a little flirty but like. as a joke kind of flirty. like what do you mean you took that seriously flirty. cause shes a little acearo.

(ive acearo'd her too)

has slowly been developing a crush on shrub since she never heard of katherine before

shes never really had a (proper) relationship like that especially one where they eagerly listen and engage in her ramblings

like to her shrubs the whole package n she's uncharacteristically flustered around shrub as night hunter

to kind of tldr the rest-

xornoth (conan) fills in for that evil guy that makes other people evil.

joeys also here, still has a crush on kath.

they're mainly childhood best friends here bc chloe n adrien were and joey n kath really fit their dynamic

also has a superhero identity thats his pirate guy, goes by a lot of names for the theatrics night hunter calls him "Captain" for convenience

he and night hunter switch from being mlm/wlw teamwork to mlm/wlw hostility constantly

scott n conan had a summer house in shrubs town so they're childhood friends

shrub has a little "i can fix him" complex for xornoth even before she finds out he's conan which develops the complex more

also xornoths kind of a demonic entity conan accidentally woke up now hes possessed and slowly losing himself dang

HES POSSESSED HIMSELF???? yeaahhhh!!!!! i love self possession

this is all sosososososo real shes ace and shes aroace and shes just like me [flirty for funzies sometimes] and i love tbat she just has different costumes n the different pronouns and and and. yeag❤️❤️❤️

8:48. Falvour flavour packet inside

8:49. Flavour shrimp

Emmet smiled a little.

8:52. thank you. is briosa asleep?

8:52. Yes

8:52. good.

8:53. Fememberd remember dinner

8:53. a bit early for that. but i will. thank you.

8:54. Remember!

8:54. will do! thank you mawile. take care of briosa.

After five minutes he got a thumbs up. Good to see they had found the tab with the emoticons.

At around midnight, while Emmet failed to force himself to wash the dishes, his Xtransceiver rang; he positioned it on the dinner table, at a good enough distance from himself so that his hands could come into view clearly.

“Hello,” Briosa croaked at the other end as he waved. “Did you get the flavor packet Guts sent you?”

Emmet nodded.

“Made yourself dinner with it?”

“Had a nice bowl of broth.”

At that she brought her own bowl into view as if it to toast with it: “That’s the life!” she laughed. “I had some... Fucking, spinach, in it, whatcha put in yours?”

“Cut some maccheroni and put them in.”

“Ourgh, fuck yes. Pastina. Did I ever bring you the turtlén?”

He shook his head.

“Gotta make ‘em. Gonna make some while I’m stuck here and bring ‘em over. You know, uh... Wanton soup? They’re kinda like that, but not fried. And it’s, I mean you’re not... Supposed, to add stuff. To, uh, when you make soup with... Turtlén - I mean you can also eat them dry with sauce, but broth is... So good.”

“So good.”

“So good.”

“Sooo good.”

“I’m gonna make stock broth and turtlén since I’ve got all this time. I’m gonna put that fucking delight in a bottle and drink it nice and lukewarm on shifts.”

“Not really hydrating, is it?”

“Yeah... Gonna put the broth in a bottle and boil the turtlén in it for you. When Mustrudi comes I’m gonna make you a lil’ bag of ‘em.”

“Why on Mustrudi?”

“Ah, tradition! You eat turtlén on Mustrudi eve. All the rest is usually stuff you can make cold, but not turtlén. Turtlén in broth on Mustrudi, with the snow out...” and she leaned her head back and gave a gurgle that sounded disgustingly funny: “Absolute delight. Peace and love on planet Earth.”

Behind her, Seismitoad made a long croak echoing the sentiment.

Emmet laughed softly.

“I’ll make ‘em,” Briosa promised, words slurring a bit. “Gonna steam clean ‘em and lock ‘em in the fridge for quaranteen and once I’m out it’s over for you.”

“Alright.”

“Over I say!”

“Go to sleep. How are you? Still hurts?”

“Nah, not much. Dull aches, but overall good. You?”

“Am alright.”

“Nice. Ok! Wash the dishes and get the hell to bed. You got work tomorrow. I’m gonna go sleep too. In solidarity. And also because I’m, kinda tired.”

“Good, good.”

They waved each other goodbye; Emmet finally managed to get himself to the sink, soap and sponge in hand, and slowly but surely cleaned his bowl and the little pot that had seemed like such a gargantuan task moments before.

Yo yo yo could you tell me more about regency era dresses?? 👀 they sound sick

ok so i dont know like a whole ton abt how they were really constructed. but i do think theyre pretty. so

anddd like this may not be super accurate AGAIN just stuff ive picked up ^_^

uh uh cut this might get long. and unorganized.

obvs the most notable factor is the empire waist that sat right below the bust. bc of this most women wore short stays (there was also long stays, usually for chubbier women), kind of a more relaxed kind of corset that only really goes to well a bit under ur bust. ive heard them described as super comfortable. Anyways

the backs of dresses were sometimes buttoned or closed with clasps or tied. theres this image that really shows the kind of pattern i described earlier with the sort of diamond panel

obvs its not the same for all dresses, just a pattern i noticed while i was thinking of drafting up my own regency dress pattern lol

there was also these other types of dress that i cant find a reference of right now, but its kind of like an apron. you'd put the dress on. like an apron. and flap a part up on the chest and then Boom . apron dress. sorry bad description here is image

ANYWAYS !!!!! ok SO like if youre looking late regency, youll notice that the waistline starts to get more cinched and goes down towards the natural waist a bit, and thats bc we r going into the romantic era!!! 1830S CRAZY FREAKING HAIRSTYLES. thats all ill say

oh another type that looks like an apron is well. i dont know how to describe. so look.

sometimes, like on the right, its more of a vest and then skirt that comes down open like a robe at the skirt. sometimes the full chest is covered like on the right. if that makes sense.

I believe day dress was a lot more covering, whereas nightime was a lot less. In the day ladies would wear bonnets, less fancy dresses, sometimes spencer jackets as well. i freaking love spencer jacketsssss look look look

A lot of regency ballgowns had pretty overlays as well, maybe just a BIT more . extravagent .yeag

here is one of my fav plates illustrating that

no bonnets at night either, and long almost elbow length gloves

Overall the idea was Light and Flowy and Airy. i believe the fashion in this era was meant to emulate that of the ancient greeks, and you can see inspiration of that in the hair as well

oh and ! a lot of the times ladies would have shawls ^_^

AND FINALLY.

MY FAVORITE PART. COURT DRESS .

See the waistline being high was fashionable at the time, but like. there were still like. idk if it was panniers but i think it was. and the ladies still had to wear those so

yeah.uh

well anyways it was custom for court ladies to come with gold in their dresses and white feathers in their hair ^__^ so

i didnt really go in2 bonnets . 2 spare u. ur welcome

anyways heres some regency dresses i just like ^__^

|| So I haven’t been on this blog in forever because I got distracted by Mr. Elric ( @alchemic-elric​)  feel free to bother him. Ed talks to everybody. But holy fuck guys. I have no rules. That’s how old this blog is. That’s shameful. I will have to write something up in coming days. I probably need to tend to Yeags too; good god.

I have nothing in here introducing myself etc. I am ashamed of myself. The way I handle things has changed a lot since being here.  (you can see that with Ed’s blog; I put a lot of work into him)  

But I’m here, in and out. For those of you, I’m local Tales old lady, Kira. I’m 32 guys when the hell did that happen??? I hope you’re ready to have some chaos again.  It might be a minute as I get things back to proper order cause holy fuck my blog is a mess.
