✨️THE CHAYNEMATIC GALA 2024✨️

PART III: EARTH

this past month i've been imagining what various OCs of mine-- some from a DECADE ago, some of which i've never talked about publicly-- would look like in MET gala style outfits! the theme was THE FOUR ELEMENTS and characters were sorted into whichever element i felt suited them best.

water | air | earth | fire

director's commentary below the cut!

Leo Callisto (The Gemini Heist). i just know Leo looked at the earth theme and went "florals? for earth? groundbreaking," and decided she was gonna be so original doing something she actually likes: gold. i mean, gold comes from the ground, right? ("shouldn't Leo be in fire?" you ask, for some reason. no. Leo is the most earth person ever. Leo is the epitome of a Capricorn, actually. she doesn't even have any major Leo placements in her chart.)

Gabi Franco (The Gemini Heist). idk i just can't see Gabi as anything other than a cute little mushroom gnome kjfsdkd. she's so cute i wanna squish her.

Lily Florès (Aurora Hearts: Mirage). Lily is a super old OC that i repurposed for a friend's universe, and has plant powers. she is... well. she is a lily. (AND YES HER NAME IS A PUN OKAY. 2014 ME THOUGHT I WAS SOOO COOL WITH MY THEMED NAMES. SHUT UP.)

Vanessa Villa-Cortez (Girls With White Teeth). Vanessa's look was inspired to be a bog body. this is because (and this is not a spoiler, this literally happens right at the beginning of the story) she is dead <3

Tabitha & Detroit Lewis (Alloy). these disaster vigilante superhero twins have metal-themed powers, so i had visions of metallic, futuristic outfits for them. and Tabitha doesn't go anywhere without her heelys.

Will Keagan (UnSuper Squad). Will is the kind of person who would show up to the met gala in a plain black suit, but i wouldn't allow him to. he COULD have also been a bog body bc even tho he doesn't die he does a lot of rotting in bed lol but Vanessa already took that theme. so. idk. bugs? i just didn't want to do another floral.

Petra Lacroye & Finneas Becker (Andromeda Rogue). do i even need to explain?

Detroit: Become Human / Robocop

[dochkarauta]

au: formula 1 drivers as characters in the game detroit: become human "the day will come when we will no longer be slaves. the end of threats. the end of humiliation. and we will be the masters" p.s. thanks for the likes and replies Max Verstappen - RK200 (Marcus) "I don't know about you, but I have confidence inside that I am more than just a machine. I'm alive, and they won't take that away from me! The days of our slavery are over. People don't want to listen? And we will tell them"

Charles Leclerc - RK800 (Conor) "I am an android sent from Cyber Life. My appearance and voice were specially designed for harmonious integration with people."

George Russell — AX400 (Kara) "His father was beating him, and when I saw it, something broke inside me. For some reason, his life suddenly became more important than mine. I wanted to protect him, and we ran away."

Alex Albon - YK500 (Alice) "Fairy tales always end well, but in truth it's not like that"

Fernando Alonso — Hank Anderson "I don't need any help. And even more so from a plastic mannequin. So be a good robot and get out of here."

Checo Perez — Sumo "Sumo! Fas it! Fas..."

Nico Hulkenberg — Carl Manfred "The day will come when I won't be around. I'll have to defend myself. Make your own choice. The world doesn't like people who aren't like everyone else, Max. Don't let anyone tell you who you are."

Lando Norris - WR400 (North) "People know one language - violence. If you don't want to fight for freedom, maybe you don't deserve it."

Daniel Ricciardo — PL600 (Simon) "There is always a choice. We forget who our enemy is. We can't fight."

Carlos Sainz — PJ500 (Josh) "If we get caught, we're finished! Confrontation is a dead end. Violence will not achieve anything"

Lewis Hamilton — Elijah Kamski "By the way, I always leave loopholes in my programs. Just in case"

Esteban Ocon — Gavin Reed "You can always break in a little. Moreover, this is not a human."

Logan Sargeant - PL600 (Daniel) "I thought I was native to them. That I'm important to them. But I was a toy that you can throw away when you get tired of it!"

Oscar Piastri - RK900 (Richard) "This is a new model. He's faster, stronger, more resilient. And equipped with the latest technology"

the end!

Sixty- The Pretender

Heard this song and thought of Sixty :D

“I spend almost all of my time feeling like I'm falling even further behind. I feel like everything I do is a lie and all the words just further pull the wool over eyes.

I know I'm no good at being who I am away from the light.

I'm the pretender, what can I tell ya? Designed to deceive, so tell me who you want me to be.”

I wish all my special interests made sense. Linguisticks and Anthropology are literally just studies of different ways to be people and societies and that's cool as shit. Cosmology and Astrophysicks are about the interplay of systems and trajectories bigger and better than I could ever dream. Tell me how the hell England and by extension GB makes sense tho. I suspect it was the H*rry P*tter books. they got to me at a tender age and now I'm cursed.

what am I supposed to say if one day I actually visit, and people ask why I'm going / I've come. 'oh I just like england.' what. what for. they have historic pastoralism and funny accents + linguistic conventions and very old buildings other places too. in countries that colonized a lot less. like obvi modern English folk are not their perpetrating forbearers but as I understand it they're by and large not really interested in much reparating neither.

I can't even explain why I like it. I never decided to like it but. alas.
