Renault Floride Coupé, 1958. Designed by Pietro Frua when he was working for Carrozzeria Ghia, the Floride was a coupé and convertible based on the Renault Dauphine. Conceived specifically for the US market where the Dauphine was struggling, a convention of Renault dealers held in Florida demanded a coupé/convertible to improve Renault's image in North America. In English speaking markets including the US the Floride was renamed the Caravelle. It remained in production until 1968 though by that time sales had dropped off considerably.

I love your AU and the miraculous side effects are fascinating. I’ve been wondering about the rabbit though.

It seems like there could be a few different things. Would the wielder just eat a lot of vegetables, would they start randomly time looping, or experience the events of their lives out of order?

If you’re not going to include the rabbit because of the time travel, though, I completely understand and I really hope that I’m not coming off as annoying.

Alix's side effects are rather different from the rest. She's experiencing life outside of time for the most part, which makes her not only prone to mundane things like combining together fashion and slang from various centuries, but also larger issues like being unable to form meaningful interpersonal relationships!

Her emotions are also affected too—Alix does not feel things, really, as her emotions are more of a natural extension of What Must Be Done. If things go haywire she's angry, if things are as they should be she's mildly content (but never really happy), but nothing beyond that. Especially not grief for the life she could've had if only she wasn't destined to turn out this way.

Her experience of life "out of order" is also a side effect that's more self-imposed than any of her peers', but even still it wasn't as if she truly had a say in the matter. She's just a cog in the machine now, not a person. Not a girl.

(actually I personally have some thoughts on how adrien and alix could parallel each other in terms of gender and how they've been forced into identities they didn't ask for. Le Dauphine and L’héritière. so on so forth)

Also Alix cannot date anybody without it being problematic because she's technically millions of years old even though she was born only 16 years ago.

Thierry Mugler Fall/Winter, 1983 Ready-to-Wear

[philoursmars]

Avec Christine, on a fêté nos 40 ans d'amitié en faisant un voyage de 15 jours en Sicile. Nous voici maintenant à Piazza Armerina, à l'intérieur des terres.

Non loin, la Villa del Casale (bâtie fin IIIe s. apr. J-C.) aux mosaïques romaines grandioses (3500m² de surface !!).

Ici, la Salle d'Arion, avec plein de monstres marins, tritons, hippocampes, dauphins et tigres marins,... Je supposent qu'au milieu, ce sont Neptune et Amphitrite ? Et Arion jouant de la lyre sur son dauphin sauve(te)ur...

🔥 Nounou en feu 🔥

There once was a nanny on fire who dressed in haute couture attire. If you come out to play in the garden she may fulfill all your burning desires.

A few days ago I started working on this illustration of Nanny Ashtoreth wearing the iconic Dauphine en feu ("Dauphine on fire") outfit by Thierry Mugler (design details and references under the cut).

Yesterday I realized that the Ineffable Kinktober prompt of the day was "role play", so... that limerick just poured out of me.

Oh, and I wasn't originally planning to draw what's under the outfit, that's also something that kinda just... happened 😳

Reference images

I initially came across this image when I was compiling my Crowley-coded outfits from The Nanny post. As you can see, it was the main reference for the right side of the illustration.

Upon further research, I found out that this design was part of Thierry Mugler's Les Infernales collection (Fall/Winter 1988). The outfit was named Dauphine en feu and modeled by his muse Dauphine de Jerphanion.

I used this other image as the main reference for the left side of the illustration. It's been reposted into oblivion and nobody ever says where it came from (I suspect it's a scan from a fashion magazine but I'm not sure). I linked to the source with the best quality I could find:

Oh, and for the pose, I used this pic of David Tennant in drag:

I looked at about a million different images, including vintage lingerie lol. But those are the main ones! 😇

Back when he was still with Shinra Sephiroth used to secretly write fanfiction about himself. All of it was basically him having a normal life with his friends Angeal and Genesis, and of course his mother Jenova. It was pretty well received by those who read them, but even if they weren’t Sephiroth just enjoyed writing them. Years later after returning from the lifestream yet again Sephiroth decides for old time’s sake to write again. And while people are happy that NormalHuman7777 had returned they’re all also very confused because their stories have now drastically changed. Their new stories are no longer about the late general in a normal and domestic setting, but now their about him becoming a god? And Sephiroth’s mother is also now an alien? Where’s Angeal and Genesis, they used to have huge roles in the stories, but they’re not even so much as mentioned. Also who’s this Cloud person the author keeps shipping with Sephiroth? Every new story now has Cloud in it and the author spends paragraphs detailing everything involving Cloud, talking about how beautiful he is, and how much Sephiroth wants him, and they always get together at the end if not sooner. Is he a self insert? Also the author really hates their OCs Tifa and Aerith, always having the two die in the most horrific ways.

You know what would make this all so much funnier? If young Cloud was a fan of NormalHuman7777's works. Perhaps he even had a bit of a friendship with NormalHuman7777, with the two messaging from time to time and bouncing ideas off each other.

When Sephiroth starts writing again, Cloud gets a little notification about the new fic. He decides that even though he has no interest in reading Sephiroth fanfiction anymore, he may as well comment on the fic for old time's sake. Except when he goes to the comments, people are asking about this new Cloud character and this whole "God" plotline.

Sephiroth's fanfic: Cloud leaned his head back, exposing his neck to his god in a sign of submission. He looked even more beautiful than normal as his mouth parted just enough for his tongue to dart across his chapped lips. As Sephiroth reached out and touched Cloud's neck, the blonde's throat bobbed in nervous anticipation. A rather feminine looking man, it was nearly impossible to see or notice Cloud's adam's apple. Still, the faint bulge of Cloud's adam's apple felt devine under Sephiroth's thumb, and Sephiroth pushed harder to feel the cartilage better.

"Beautiful," Sephiroth praised.

Cloud's eyes fluttered shut with content pride as his god praised him. He felt stupid for ever opposing the great god and for trying to hide from Jenova's warm embrace.

"I know," Sephiroth said, sensing the distress that washed over precious doll as memories of those horrid women came back to him, "but now you are exactly where you belong, and you will never leave me again. We will be together forever--a god and his most cherished possession--and there is nothing those fools can ever do to change that."

"Sephiroth, please," Cloud begged, leaning further into Sephiroth's touch, "please fuck me. I want to be one with you in everyway. I need you inside of me!"

Cloud: What the actual fuck.
