Coleurs - Growth (ft. Observer Drift)

[syunkiss]

The man dressed so elegantly walked down the stairs. With each step he descended, stars along with blue smoke formed on the crystal steps. The sheep's feet with purple fur made a "clock.. clock.. clock.." noise every time they made contact with the ground. The colorful eyes of the man bathed in gold and stars seemed focused in a single direction, the first step of the stairs from bottom to top, the last one he would step on.

The masked man with a smile on his face seemed carefree as he walked up the stairs. His bright yellow costume and the lights that came out of the halo on his head illuminated and could blind any human who looked at him without preparation. Unlike the other man, the masked man with dark, curly hair showed his body, representing the heat of the star that guided him, the Sun. The bandages on the man's body had small designs of the Sun and stars.

Stars... stars were the only thing Dazai and Chuuya had in common.

As the man in purple went down the stairs, the man in yellow went up. And suddenly, the two met. When they stepped on the same step, an Eclipse formed in the Sky.

"I think it is our fate."

Oooh, handkiss or Pdawans?

Ah thank you!! We go with Padawans bc PSA: so many of you requested the hand kiss I need to polish the wip and make it worth your while 💜

So Padawans is a group picture of Obi-Wan, Luminara, and Quinlan as teenagers of unidentified age and doing what teenagers do:

“Like a sunrise,” Obi-Wan says decisively, nodding along to his own words.

Booing immediately greets his thought-through analysis on what he’s looking for in potential partners of whatever coleur.

“You,” Luminara leans forward, pointing a finger at him, “sound like the lamest grundr hook-up.”

“I’d still swipe up,” Quin assures him, “but she’s right.”

Obi-Wan can feel his eyebrow tick up. “It’s not lame. A sunrise feels like hope, like a beginning unburdened by—“

More booing.

“Now you sound like Master Yoda,” Quin shudders. “Like hope a sunrise feels,” he croaks out, “in your pants, it does.”

Cécile and Marie-Grace were released alongside the best friends line of dolls, and are a pretty transparent gimmick to get people to buy two dolls at once. That being said, I actually kind of love their collection.

Their story is set in New Orleans in 1853, which is a pretty great way to represent the Antebellum South without having a Scarlett O’Hara doll. New Orleans was one of the few places in the south with a robust middle class. Everywhere else had tremendous wealth inequality with absurdly rich plantation-owners, barely surviving poor Whites, and slaves.

Cécile is of the gens de coleur libre, that is, the free people of color, a class of New Orleans citizens born out of the plaçage system in which White men would take women of color as informal second wives. Plaçees held a really interesting position, as they could legally claim inheritance once their patron died, and the children born of plaçage could be named heir of an estate. Plaçees were also allowed to develop assets and run small businesses. All of this created a level of generational wealth that was unique among African-Americans at the time. Today, their descendants are known as Creoles.

As far as Marie-Grace goes, I don’t think she’s Cajun, just French-American. Cajuns are a specific group, the Catholic descendants of the French colonizers of Acadia, now called Nova Scotia, who were forced by the British out of the home. They settled mostly in the fertile Mississippi delta, and maintained a rural, somewhat insular way of life. Marie-Grace is the city-dwelling daughter of a doctor, so probably just the descendant of regular French citizens who settled in New Orleans.

Hair-wise, this is the era when girls tied their hair up with rags at night to have fat sausage curls in the morning. Most photographs and paintings that I’ve seen of Black girls in the era show them with their hair tied up, but there are a few who had curls.

Marie-Grace’s face-framing curls are a little bit more Jan Brady than 1850s, but it’s cute on her, so I’ll give her credit for that. The long hair isn’t inaccurate.

There’s something about Cécile’s dress that keeps saying “wrong” but I can’t quite put my finger on it. A more accurate dress would be more along the lines of something like this:

(New York Historical Society)

Marie-Grace’s dress seems to have been inspired by this portrait of Creole children:

(credit to @in-pleasant-company​ for finding it)

Cécile’s pillbox hat is a style that was adopted more in the late 1860s and 1870s. A more accurate hat would also have her in a “coal scoop” bonnet.

Her gloves, however, are accurate and adorable!

(The Met Museum)

Marie-Grace is wearing a kind of sun hat that was popular for children:

Marie-Grace’s fan looks typical of the French fans that were popular at the time. They were usually painted with pretty pastoral scenes instead of flowers, however, although Chinese fans at the time frequently had floral themes.

(The Victoria & Albert Museum)

The shoes are definitely late Victorian rather than 1850s. Fine city ladies in the 1850s would be wearing boots made out of silk with leather soles:

Wenn wir schon über das Thema "Mehr Sex Positivity im Schloss Einstein Tag" reden, sollten wir auch nicht vergessen, dass die Serie selbst lange Zeit sex positive war, bevor sie aufgehört haben, es zu thematisieren.

Sowohl in Seelitz als auch in Erfurt gab es einige Storys zu dem Thema und das in jeglicher Coleur. Es gab Storys, bei denen es beide unbedingt wollten und es auch durchgezogen haben, Charaktere, die sich unsicher waren oder noch warten wollten, einen HIV-positiven Charakter und wir hatten sogar eine Schwangerschaftsstory, bei der auch thematisiert wurde, wie es dazu kam (Paulina erwähnt sogar, dass sie vor Lucky schon mal mit jemandem geschlafen hat).

Es ist also nicht so, als ob wir mit unseren Fics plötzlich Neuland betreten würden.
