“Are you trying to get us all killed?” 

The timebreaker sneezes into his elbow. He’s covered in a fine layer of dust. The chains strapping him to the seat didn’t survive the crash, but he won’t get far either way: his timepiece remains safely hidden in your pocket. 

You ignore him and survey the wreckage in front of you. There’s very little left of your spacecraft. Dawdling will only cost you precious time, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep the flames at bay. 

A few crumpled feathers stick out from under the rubble. You pull with two hands, using your weight to unearth your equally crumpled associate. 

“It’s not like I can actually die, of course. I think. Not really. I’m not afraid of death anyway,” the timebreaker continues. “He looks pretty damn done for, though.”

You turn around and fiddle with what’s left of the control panel. Your partner coughs up thick globs of blood. He wipes his mouth with the back of one wing and straightens his glasses. "Hey, did you fall from heaven when you hurt—fuck." 

“Welcome back,” you mutter. The control panel lights up once and fizzles out again. 

“Have you seen my hat?”

“This, here?” The timebreaker lifts one foot and your partner snatches the weathered cowboy hat from under his boot. “Sorry, I thought it was just a piece of debris. I didn’t mean to step on it.”

You snort. “Yunho’s awfully attached to that ugly old thing.” After a repeated bang on the control panel yields no results, you give up and grab your pocket pulsar. “Didn’t they go out of style over 600 billion years ago?”

“Real fashion is timeless,” Yunho says. “Besides, it's a keepsake from Earth.” 

You roll your eyes. “Ugh. You’re such a romantic.”

He winks at you. Behind you, the timebreaker coughs. “I’m still here.”

A glare shuts him up. Your many eyes tend to have that effect on people.

“Which way do we go?” Yunho asks. 

You check your pulsar. “We should head southwest for about 11 kilometres. We’re not that far off. You did a decent job crashing the ship.”

“Thank you.”

“You think you can walk with that leg?” 

“I’m fine, but it might take us a bit longer. Do you still have time?”

You nod. “I do. But the big boss won’t like it. You know his patience runs thin.”

“We’re bringing him a timebreaker! He ought to be happy with that.” 

Your eyes drift towards the man who’s still staring at the wreckage, appearing to be lost in thought—no doubt mourning what might’ve been his only chance at escaping.

“You’re right. Let’s go before the weather gets any worse.”

Above you the glittery storm clouds gather. With just your pocket pulsar left, navigating will be a lot more difficult if you don't cross the Great Plateau before the first rain falls. 

“So… you two are angels, then?” The timebreaker asks when the silence drags on for a bit too long. 

“Damn right,” Yunho says. “Ever met an angel before?”

The timebreaker shakes his head. “Can't say I've had the pleasure, no. They—I mean you, sorry—don’t exist in my universe.”

You grumble. He's awfully polite for a man who killed half a planet of innocents. “Just because you've never seen one doesn't mean we aren't there.” 

The timebreaker’s face turns sour. You don’t care if he doesn’t like you. There's more pressing matters to worry about: right now it's the unshakeable sizzling in your ears, the sound growing stronger with every step.

You rub your temples but the gesture brings no relief. Yunho watches you closely, rummaging through his coat pockets. After some fiddling he extracts a small bottle and hands it to you. He always seems to know exactly what you need. You down the liquid and make a mental note to thank him for that after you’ve finished this job. 

“Why does he have wings and you don’t? And what’s up with all the eyes?”

Your nostrils flare in annoyance and you’re thankful for the sudden crack of thunder that makes your captive jump. “No more time for existential chit-chat,” you say. The taste of ash lingers in your mouth. 

“If you give me my timepiece back I can get us off this planet,” the timebreaker offers. He almost trips over his feet in an attempt to keep up with you and Yunho. “Another universe maybe, just for the two of you? Something beachy? Sun, Martinis, a nice big bed, a few slaves to preen those pretty wings?”

You laugh and look at Yunho’s tattered feathers, still covered in dried blood. "If you're trying to manipulate us, it's not working." 

“Are we still heading in the right direction?” Yunho asks. He looks mildly flattered but not at all phased by the timebreaker’s implications, so you narrow your eyes at him. All he does in return is smile. If you weren't in the middle of a job you'd use his own wings to wipe that smug grin off his face.

“We’re slowly getting there," you sigh, handing him the pulsar.

“We’re heading away from the capital. The only civilised place on this planet.” The timebreaker glances past Yunho’s shoulder and points his cuffed hands at the device. His voice raises an octave when you start walking even faster. “Hey! What did I do wrong anyway? Since when is breaking time a crime? And who are you, the space police?” 

“You didn’t tell him?” Yunho asks. 

You shrug. “The less he knows, the better.” It’s a lie. It doesn’t matter: you just didn’t feel like talking to the man.  

“I’m sorry for my partner’s lack of proper protocol,” Yunho starts, and you close your many eyes for a moment to collect yourself and tune out the other angel’s lecture. The situation is starting to get on your nerves and you wonder if the flames have ignited by now. They probably haven’t—neither of your companions seem to perceive a sudden increase in heat. 

When you open your eyes again, the timebreaker’s face has gone blank.

“And that’s how we ended up here!” Yunho smiles and claps his hands together, as if he didn’t just give a detailed account of why the man will spend the remainder of his life in chains. “Any questions?”

“I—what the fuck,” the timebreaker says, “have more questions now than before.”

Yunho opens his mouth but you cut him off. Unlike the other angel, God didn’t bless you with the patience of a saint when They created you. “No one cares about obnoxious fools who run around universes breaking time. Killing innocents however? The boss doesn’t like that.”

The timebreaker tilts his head towards you. “Who’s this boss you keep talking about? God?”

You laugh. “So you’re a fool and uncultured.”

He looks ready to murder you. You’d like to see him try; it would spice things up a bit. 

Your partner shakes his head, a small smile tugging at his lips. “God died a long time ago. No, we call him the Captain.”

At the mention of his name the storm clouds rupture and shimmering glitter falls from the sky. You blink up at the sudden burst of colour. 

Suspicious.

“Dammit,” you curse, “we’re not even close.” You shake the pulsar, which buzzes sadly in the steady stream of luminescent sparkles. You huff and a small puff of smoke escapes your nose.

Yunho squeezes your shoulder. “Do you think you can do it here, if needed?” 

“It’s not ideal, but I can manage. The harvesting will be a pain, though. The soil is too muddy.”

“We can work something out. I trust you.” Yunho’s hand drops to his side and you miss its warmth already. Then he jumps in front of you, causing you to nearly barrel head-first into his chest. He spreads his wings and grins, “This is the skin of a killer, Bella.”

“Shut up.” You push him out of your way, suppressing a smile and trying not to look at the pretty glitter covering him from head to toe. Some of your eyes steal a glance anyway. “Vampires aren’t real.”

He’s still laughing. “For someone who pretends to hate Earth you sure know a lot about it. Who’s the romantic now?”

You don’t respond and push past him, aiming the pulsar at the glittery sky. Yunho doesn’t seem to mind your feigned disapproval and falls back at your side, his comforting presence grounding you like always. As annoying as he can be, you need him there. You’d trust him with your life. 

“I miss humans sometimes. It’s a shame they went extinct.” Yunho turns towards the timebreaker. “She was there, you know. During Armageddon. It was angels versus demons… pretty cool. I wasn’t old enough to join the fight yet. I’ve only heard the stories.” He elbows you in the side. “Tell him about it.” 

You groan. “There was a lot of fire. The end.”

The timebreaker raises an eyebrow. “What happened to the demons?”

“They were wiped out.” 

“That seems to be a recurring theme.” 

You turn your head and grin at him. “You could call it our… speciality.”

For the first time since you’ve dragged him from his universe, the timebreaker looks afraid. A shiver runs through him and his sharp teeth clatter. “I thought angels were supposed to be harbingers of peace. Chubby babies chanting glorias to God and all that stuff.”

“We were tasked to maintain the cosmic harmony of all universal laws,” you shrug, “but no one ever told us how to mete out divine justice.”

“You could say we’re just winging it.” Yunho grins. “Get it?”

The timebreaker doesn’t laugh. The crease between his brows deepens. “So let me get this straight: when you wipe out an entire planet it’s fine, but when I do it—” he huffs, an indignant sound, “—I get thrown in jail?”

You shrug again. “Collateral damage. It happens.”

“Fuck this,” the timebreaker says. Then he starts running. It only takes a few metres for his form to completely disappear in the downpour of glitter.

“Took him long enough.” Yunho takes the pulsar from your hands to save if from melting and sticks it in his pocket. “Are you ready?”

His glasses reflect an orange glow and you laugh. You know he loves this part of the job as much as you do. He can have this. “Go get him, partner.”

The angel spreads his wings and points at you. “I’m taking you out for dinner after,” he says. Then he disappears into the void. 

You draw patterns in the fallen glitter with one smoky foot and start counting. People tend to underestimate your partner by virtue of his angelic aura. They’re always wrong. 

It doesn’t take him long to return. The timebreaker shrieks when he sees you. “What the fuck happened to her?” He trashes in your partner’s arms. “I’ve got a family! Friends! They’ll come looking for me!”

“26 seconds. Not bad,” you comment dryly. 

“They will come!”

“Over there would be perfect.” You point at a spot a few metres away. “Thank you, Yunho.”

Your partner puts the captive down and pats him on the shoulder. He doesn’t run this time. Where would he go, hands bound, without a timepiece and with two angels on his heels? Maybe he wasn’t as foolish as you thought. Some of them keep running. 

“It’s going to be okay,” your partner says. It won’t be. “I’m sure you’ll be dearly missed. I can already picture the memorial service. Lots of flowers, sad piano music... it's going to be beautiful.”

The timebreaker pales. It appears he’s finally caught up on the plan. “What happened to jail? A proper trial?” He blinks twice, then recovers some of his rage and spits at Yunho, “You’ll regret this. My family will hunt you down and kill you both. They'll rip out your feathers one by one until there's none left.”

Yunho pushes his glasses higher up his nose. “‘I’m not afraid of death anyway’, you said.”

“I wasn’t—”

“Don’t worry, death doesn’t have to be temporary. Some of us believe in reincarnation.” Yunho lowers his voice, knowing you can’t hear him over the roaring fire around you. “Not her, of course. She believes in total annihilation.” He gives the man one last gentle pat on the back before stepping away. 

“No one but you has mentioned jail.” You have to raise your voice because of the ringing in your ears. “And your family will find a shipwreck, remember? Such an unfortunate accident.”

“Extremely unfortunate,” Yunho agrees. 

The timebreaker doesn’t answer. His skin has turned the colour of grey mud. You feel the flames rise even higher, inching closer to him.

Finally. 

The last thing the timebreaker sees before the flames engulf him is the sky breaking open. You wrap around him and burn until there’s nothing left but a heap of sand and glitter.

Yunho retrieves an empty hourglass from his pocket and crouches down to fill it with sand. “The Captain’s gonna be happy,” he says while he pours more grains in the glass. "Look at the size of that pile!"

You suppress a yawn and shiver. You always get a little cold after the fire has gone down to a simmer.

“Chinese sound good to you? For old time’s sake?” Yunho hands you the hourglass and wraps a wing around your shoulder. “I know a place.” 

You elbow him in the side and smile. “Romantic.”

Redesigning Rainbow World characters: Amaya Raine

I don’t mind the concept of rainbow world, I think I have gotten used to it by now, but what does bother me is the lack of fashion with the new dolls.

I wanted to go back to what they were originally doing which was taking real world fashions and putting them onto the dolls, this was such a fun detail and I love it so much (if you couldn’t already tell from my blog 🤭)

How I went into redesigning these dolls was taking into account what they were already wearing, I don’t love the fashion but I believe most of them are a good baseline, I also considered all of their other outfits and character traits from the original series.

I hate this Amaya doll. The length of the dress is awful and unflattering, the dress itself is somehow not enough but too much all at once, the gradient is just meh, that cropped denim jacket is so plain and doesn’t fit her vibe at all, the outfit has no shape to it, and her hair is muddy too flat which again makes her seem boring and having no shape…also pairing those sneakers with that dress is a crime and doesn’t feel very Amaya! (Also please don’t get me wrong she is cute for kids but these are my thoughts as an adult fashion doll fan)

Amaya is a fun and cheerful character and I feel that her outfit tried to reflect that (but it went a little too close to the territory of “seven-year-old tried to dress herself in a claires”) so I wanted to have one of her outfit reflect this cheerful and cute side while also being fashionable, she is a fashion focus after all!

Because I wanted to keep things someone inspired by the Rainbow World doll I wanted to find something with sparkles/sequins and so I landed on this Alice + Olivia outfit and the shirt happened to, in my opinion, feel very much like something Amaya would wear.

I spent some time looking at rainbow fashions and I felt that a lot of them felt tacky in a way, then I came across this Jimmy Paul runway and he does such an amazing job at designing these whimsical fashions and I felt that this jacket was something I could see on a doll and it would be interesting (especially paired with the fluffy white boots!) It also makes perfect sense to me because Jimmy Paul has already done a collaboration with an MGA doll brand before. (the Roxxi and Nevra pride dolls!)

I’m not entirely sure how her hair would be styled, I think I half up, half down style like Natasha’s would look good, I also don’t entirely love the mix of colours and I think she could possibly be better if she has hair like her junior high doll.

Sephesis Week Day 1: "We Seek it Thus"--Calm Before the Storm

The sky was overcast, clouds deep grey and swollen, threatening rain. Humidity hung heavy in the air, uncomfortable and sticky in the summer heat. A calmness filled the air. Storm season had arrived late to Banora, and now it was here.

The sound of boots on gravel broke the silence. A boy, no older than fourteen or fifteen, crested the hill. Choppy, shoulder length auburn hair, blue eyes lined with dark eyeliner, slightly smudged above the right eye, light smattering of freckles across the nose—Genesis. His attire both showcased his deliberate fashion and complete disregard for the climate; skinny jeans and leather do not mix well with Augusts in Banora.

He looked up at the sky, shrugging dismissively before pulling out a stick of his favorite apple flavored lipgloss from his pocket. Genesis lazily swiped it across his lower lip, then rubbed his lips together. The lipgloss was recapped and stowed away.

He walked slowly, not in a particular hurry to get anywhere. He cracked his knuckles (a nervous habit that he couldn’t be bothered to break) and examined his nails. The shiny maroon polish he’d painted on them one, two nights ago was slightly chipped, nails bitten to the quick (yet another nervous habit).

A light breeze started up; it prompted a rustling in the apple trees and a poorly tacked poster on the telephone pole to fly off, carried by the wind. It fluttered aloft for about fifty feet before it flew into Genesis’ face unceremoniously.

The boy grumbled, peeling it away from his face. As he was about to crumple it and toss it away, he caught a glimpse of the face on the poster.

‘The hero of Wutai has returned victorious! Join Shinra and fight alongside him!’ It read; underneath the text was a large picture of Sephiroth, in all his glory.

Genesis smiled involuntarily at the poster—or rather the boy on the poster—as he traced two fingers lightly across the image.

“We seek it thus—“ he began, before a fat raindrop landed on the poster. Genesis neatly folded the paper and tucked it away with his lipgloss.

A few more droplets fell before it began to rain in earnest. The sudden downpour surprised Genesis, who hurried his pace, arms raised to protect his hair from the rain. —-- Genesis carefully pinned the slightly crumpled poster on the wall. It fit in neatly with the many other similar posters of the famed war hero.

He smoothed it out and stepped away, nodding in approval to no one but himself. Walking over to his vintage desk, Genesis tugged at the slightly sticky drawer until it opened. He grabbed an apple lollipop and opened it, tossing the wrapper into the little wastebasket below his desk.

Genesis set to painting his nails, this time a deep purplish red. He absentmindedly crunched on the lollipop, fantasies of meeting the boy on his wall and becoming a hero taking him far, far away, to Midgar.

——

Many, many miles away, Sephiroth looked up at the grey sky. It would rain soon, he knew. Best to set up camp while it was still dry. That is what he told everyone else, and so it was done. No one questioned the hero of Wutai, Shinra’s finest, the first SOLDIER. 

He hated it.

Sephiroth went through the motions—pitch tent. Survey camp. Recheck tent. It was the same every time, more or less. After a while, he had gotten used to it.

——

The boy sat in his newly pitched tent, sharpening his sword. His face was set, solemn, focused. Very adult—it did not suit Sephiroth’s round, soft cheeks or wide baby blue eyes. Not that he cared.

The sound of the other people in camp was faint in the background. Somewhere in the distance, the roll of thunder could be heard.

The movement of the whetstone paused, then stopped. Sephiroth set the sword aside as the first raindrops began to fall. 

He pulled out the picture of his mother from his breast pocket, cradling it to his chest.

If only he had a wall to pin it to.

Yuutsu aesthetic and information

Personality

She's a soft and gentle and shy person

Sometimes she gets nervous since she wants to make a good impression on people so she tends to stay quiet

She may not look it but she's actually quite strong and can be scary at times

And is not really a pushover

Past

She was a child born in a strict and almost unforgiving environment because of her parents constantly trying to have a child but always failing but when they managed to conceive her they put high expectations on her expecting her to be perfect at everything and controlling everything she does or even wears that resulted in her cutting herself to deal with it all the controlling environment as well she turned to her hair as a coping mechanism since it was the only thing she had control over as a child sometimes

there Behavior would turn abusive leaving some painful bruises on her when she didn't act the way they wanted her to which led her to cut herself as a coping mechanism

but when she was a

teenager her mother went crazy and out of jealousy for her daughter's looks she tried to kill her by slitting her throat luckily she survived but the trauma was still there she was quickly took an out of that environment and her parents were arrested

Her life is a bit normal now but the idea of feeling or acting in a way that people would not like her to scares her on the inside but at least now she has control over her life

She prefers the more soft and gentle look

She likes to dye her hair pink or simple highlights

Sometimes she questions if she's real

She's a very caring and kind person she enjoys those colder and calm weather she likes to walk in the woods with a taser

Because of her trauma she became an overachiever

But she doesn't have an ego

And because she likes wearing pink and dying her hair people seem to think of her as some dumb girl even though she's extremely intelligent and a psychopathic analyzer

Her eyes are usually a soft pink but when she uses her special ability they turn into a darker and brighter pink

And sometimes when she's hunting someone down you can always feel a pair of pink eyes staring through your soul

Her special ability is where she's able to turn things pink or make weapons that are usually the color of pink and the other one is called toxic blood lilies

okay kuro hsr timeline ,, , finally finished

𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄: hamasaki kuro , just kuro please. 𝐀𝐆𝐄: well over 1000 , his exact age isn't known. he's legit forgotten it. 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐒: favored of the plagues author , cat guy ( express crew ) , killjoy , emanator of yaoshi , more to come i'm sure... 𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐇: abundance ( previous, or so he says ), the hunt ( galaxy ranger ) 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄: quantum. ( i like the idea that his kit is all about multiple attacks on a single target within a short span of time? i.e you want his speed, and crit to be a huge priority. break fits into it too ofc, but that's a given i think. his ulti is likely a multi hit similar to ach/eron, but like visually? mimi is the one doing the attack in the animation. HAHA! cat has a big GUN! ).

✧ born in ???? to two lovely people, with two brothers, and a sister. his world for the most part worshipped yao/shi, and the abundance. and kuro would grow up to do much the same. the world was diverse as far as climate, with a consistent four season year. and was actually known for the shimmering aroura rains that took place during spring, and the ethereal blooms in the particular region where kuro was born.

✧ a stell/aron crisis would begin to kill the planet when kuro was a young adult. and the speed at which this happened was quite startling. wildlife changed with the sudden shift in climate; putting people in danger. the weather grew harsh, intense. climate change essentially causing the world to kill itself.

✧ kuro becomes an emanator of yao/shi at the last possible moment. which did end up saving his planet. idk if people realize honestly just how powerful emanators are. tho the recent content with ach/eron definitely gave us more insight. kuro was powerful enough to essentially revive his planet. people had died, there wasn't anything to be done to bring them back. but the planet itself is now a bountiful and horrifying tribute to the power of yao/shi & the concept of deathlessness.

✧ important to note: despite not being an emanator anymore, kuro is still very much so immortal. this is something he struggles with immensely. feeding into his guilt, and self loathing. he has yet to suffer the effects of mara, unsure why, he's too afraid to ask or try to figure out why. expecting it'll come eventually ...

✧ he leaves home after this to follow his path, to carry out his aeon's will. this is kuro's deranged devotion to god arc. he was quite frankly, scary. he has a run in at some point with the xian/zhou as well,,, which does now play out well for them. wasn't his intention to run into them either. legit just trying to spread the abundance, and the xian/zhou got in the way.

✧ it's after this entire ordeal that kuro really grasps how... deeply twisted and cruel his aeon's agenda is. he begins to question his path, his choices. and as far as anyone else known- this is where kuro, the emanator of yao/shi... vanishes.

✧ kuro meets mimi a few years before he joins the express crew. which happens between the nameless' birth-- and the trip to jarlio VI. he also meets ar/genti at some point between meeting mimi and joining the express.

✧ he doesn't really help with jarlio VI stuff, but him and mimi do explore the planet some while they're there. seemingly unbothered by how frigid it is.

✧ travels with the crew wherever they wish to go. eventually leading him to the luo/fu... much to his apparent discomfort. kuro insists he should remain with pompom to keep them company. meaning he's not there for the majority of the luo/fu arc. though upon being discovered, he is brought in for questioning, and is nearly put in the shackling prison. if not for mimi using her genius, and maybe some force ( a lot of force )- to help him escape in a very death defying fashion.

✧ does some wandering. cuts all communication with the main crew.

✧ meets boot/hill during this time. silly guy, kuro thinks he's funny.

✧ finds some kind of direction for the sake of his closest companion mimi. a member of a nearly extinct feline alien species, who wishes for the upheaval of the IPC for the destruction of her homeworld. kuro becomes a galaxy ranger, and finds a new path! the hunt. an irony, he knows, but it's cathartic for him in a way.

✧ pops up on pena/cony, but not until much later in the story. him and mimi go there to retrieve some materials, and information on the IPC. but get caught up a bit in the drama that was 2.2. offering to help, and sort of reconnecting with the express crew after his absence for so long. this is of course, considering that you as the player take time to do all side quests before this,,, bonus content ect ect.

✧ kuro from this point on kind of follows mimi's direction? she wants to rebuild her home, or at least find a way to create a new one. while also doing everything in her power to make things as difficult for the IPC as possible. again, kuro is the ranger but mimi is the mastermind. she's a cat, basically, there is only so much she can do. i like to think of rocket raccoon as a bit of an inspiration here. they're not evil, but kuro's bias for his best friend... means he's as chaotic and violent as she needs him to be, to get what she wants. their shared goal is his main priority!

✧ more to come as the story plays out !!! feel free to ask other stuff though, i love talking about kuro and mimi i will literally never shut up.

Re: the Catholic anon -

Hi, hello, fellow Catholic (afab) trans here. Real quickly, there’s going to be lots of differences growing up Catholic and queer and this is just my perspective on it. While I wasn’t a scene kid (though I loved the style of it!) I did come from a family of old punks. So typical Mass attire as an adult is black dress shirt, trousers, boots or shoes, collar chains and either a leather jacket or a dress jacket with visible mending if it’s raining. And you can NEVER go wrong with a waistcoat. I don’t really wear too much makeup besides eyeliner. I also have a large silver crucifix that’s been in my family for a while that I strung onto 1 yard of chain and just wrap it around under my scarf. So, very Black Parade meets Joy Division lol

Mind you, you should a) dress however you want and b) make sure you’re safe doing it. I live in a pretty progressive area now as opposed to the small town Catholic school where I could never get away with being queer. Keep in mind that when you rock up to Mass you’re there to worship just like everyone else — pretty sure God would be fine with you showing up in your own style of worship.

It may be a little cliché, but try emphasising the accessories - wrapping your rosary if you have one around your wrist. Or even finding a more queer-centric Catholic shop (loads of online stores incorporating various queer flags and colours into their stuff) and getting a rosary with nb coloured beads. I’m a little more reserved and just do my best not to be noticed during the few times I actually go to Mass. Maybe, if you’ve been confirmed or have yet to be, you can select a Saint you connect your queer identity with? Or if you haven’t been, maybe select a name more befitting your gender? And then you can just use your communion name and it’s still totally legal! A little off topic from fashion, but I do hope you found something useful here. Lay a rose upon your head! Cheers!

thank you so much for your help!! i think this is super cool, like I said I can't help with people who practice catholicism/christianity due to being a pagan raised by two atheists, so any and all help for queer christians is much appreciated! ^ _ ^

thank you so much for the help!

FIRST MEETINGS MEME.

A meme for first meetings and introduction threads, aka a ‘What you will notice about my muse first’ cheat sheet.

Repost, don’t reblog. Bold what applies. Fill in details.

MEREDITH CADIGAN.

(pic.rew sources: here and here)

— GENERAL APPEARANCE.

GENDER: masculine. feminine. non-binary.

COMPLEXION: light; smile lines and worry lines.

HEIGHT: average, 5'5''

BODY TYPE: endomorph. mesomorph. ectomorph.

BUILD: small. medium. large. athletic. muscular. soft. curvy. voluptuous. + DETAILS: not terribly muscular, but not frail or slim; her frame is naturally a bit wider, sturdy from lighthouse work, rectangular with soft edges; looks like someone who gives excellent hugs (and she does, in fact, give excellent hugs).

HAIR: none. buzzed. short. medium. long. very long. asymmetrical cut. + COLOR: light reddish blonde. + STYLE: wavy, a bit dry and frizzy from saltwater and wind; worn down or braided loosely back, sometimes held back with a plain or simple-patterned bandanna.

EYE COLOR: grey, like rain-heavy clouds over water; gain a bluer shade in certain lighting. + DETAILS: her gaze typically seems warm, albeit faintly weary.

SCARS: some on her limbs from slipping on the coast over the years, but none particularly distinct.

— FASHION.

STYLE: practical, layered, warm, durable; tends to wear more traditional attire worn by generations of lightkeepers in her family (somewhat old-fashioned).

PALETTE: neutral, faded, often in shades mimicking the sea, the rocky coast, and the lighthouse (blue, sage green, grey, brown, burgundy, etc.).

TYPICALLY WEARING: warm knit sweater; wool skirt that reaches just past her knees (trousers when more necessary/practical); well-worn waterproof jacket on colder days (typically fleece-lined or flannel-lined, longer in length); long and thick socks worn beneath wellington boots or wading shoes.

PIERCINGS: pierced ears; she wears simple earrings on the rare occasions she wears any at all.

TATTOOS: none, though she sometimes scribbles reminders on her hands and arms with pen when paper isn’t handy. these notes tend to smudge.

OTHER INFORMATION: she often knits her sweaters herself with stitches reminiscent of seaside elements like waves, rope, and pebbles (she knits sweaters for her daughter as well); her shoes are designed for traction on rocks slick with saltwater.

— EXPRESSION.

USUAL FACIAL EXPRESSION: warm, thoughtful, attentive, sometimes rather wistful.

DEFAULT BODY LANGUAGE: thoughtful, polite, though she can be a bit fidgety around strangers; prone to fussing over those she cares about.

GENERAL MOVEMENTS: meredith is accustomed to trekking along uneven slopes, navigating the rocky coastline, and ascending the spiral staircase within the lighthouse, so her movements tend to be more fluid and confident in such environments and a bit slower and more hesitant on smoother ground.

— NOTABLE FOR RP.

PRESENCE: caring, reassuring, someone safe and trustworthy, with underlying weariness noticeable if one is perceptive enough. + DETAILS: her magic, to those who can sense such things, feels like a cool breeze tinged with saltwater (albeit with a faint sense of oceanic strength behind it, carefully controlled).

APPEARANCE: usually tidy, sometimes a bit wind-swept and flushed from the outdoors.

SCENT: ocean air, driftwood, freshly-baked bread.

VOICE: warm, lilting.

ACCENT: yes (welsh) / no

SPEECH MANNERISMS: friendly, polite.

MISCELLANEOUS: meredith is caring and protective, but she ultimately understands the tides and seashells better than people. she also rarely receives guests at the lighthouse, and she knows many townsfolk consider her peculiar and whisper rumors about both herself and her predecessors. observant people may notice she is hesitant around fellow adults as a result (though she tries her best to hide any nervousness and be as welcoming as possible to make a good first impression). around guests who appear younger or injured, however, her mom instincts easily overpower her uncertainty.

I had the idea a while ago "what if there was a PreCure series with the same basic plot as your average Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Stardew Valley type farming sim" and from there, Garden Variety PreCure was born!! I am slowly teaching myself Ren'Py so someday I might make this into a real thing, but for now it's just some character concepts and basic plot ideas, which I'll put under a readmore because this post is long enough already lol. But for now, here are the player character and her four love interests!

Juniper "Junie" MacDonald/Cure Orchard: a sweet, cheerful woman in her mid-twenties, Juniper inherits her grandfather's farm after he suddenly passes away and throws away her unhappy life in the city to start over again in the small town of Bellcrest. She's a bit naive and responds to stress by crying, but she has a big heart and is always thinking of others. Juniper is very social and loves to gossip, and she also loves fashion. By tapping into the power of the land, she can transform into Cure Orchard. She is the player character.

Raine Stellato/Cure Sunburst: a low-key, calm woman in her early twenties. Raine has lived in Bellcrest her whole life and is training to one day take over the local general store ("Stella's") from her great-uncle. She doesn't say much, content to just sit back and listen, but this often leads to people thinking she's not paying attention. Raine loves art and animals and spends most of her time away from the shop painting landscapes and taking care of strays. By tapping into the power of the sky, she can transform into Cure Sunburst. She is a potential love interest for Juniper.

River Park/Cure Seafoam: a boisterous, easygoing man in his mid-twenties. River moved to Bellcrest in his early teens and opened his fishery ("Fish Forward") when he was 19. He has a very relaxed attitude, sometimes to his own detriment since it can cause him to forget or avoid important things. River spends a lot of time working out, but he's fairly clumsy and often hurts himself while doing so. He also sews and knits a lot of his own clothes. By tapping into the power of the sea, he can transform into Cure Seafoam. He is a potential love interest for Juniper.

Cypher "Cy" Magnus: a surly, enigmatic person of indeterminate age. Originally from another world called the Field of Life, Cy has lived in Bellcrest for the last few years, running an antique shop/jack of all trades business ("The Broken Hourglass"). Secretly, they're also a wizard who has been trying to keep the nefarious Eclipse Corporation out of Bellcrest. They tend to be pretty grouchy and talk around what they mean, however when they get excited they start speaking quickly and over-explaining everything. Cy tends to do handiwork for fun and is constantly adding rooms to their shop/house/wizard tower. They are a potential love interest for Juniper.

Elizabeth "Libby" Pearl: a shy, passionate woman in her mid-twenties. Libby grew up in Bellcrest, went away to university, and came back demanding that the town build a proper library. She got her wish, and has since been installed as the only employee of the library/archives/museum/school ("Bellcrest Learning Center"). She's awkward around people she doesn't know, but tries to be friendly, and when she wants something badly enough she dives in headfirst. Libby is a hopeless romantic who loves romance novels, movies, and TV shows. She's a skilled writer as well, though none of her planned novels have lasted more than a few chapters. She is a potential love interest for Juniper.

it's raining in my part of the world and since im still on my gasly twin bs, i present

the gasly twins during a rainy race

just imagine them in their little rain boots and toddler sized versions of the rbr and ferrari rain uniforms

merc and alpine have their own teams' rain jackets on stand by if the little tornados decide to pay them a visit

ellie and théo moving about the paddock by taking turns jumping in the puddles that are forming

imagine an intern is tasked with keeping up with the gasly twins

the twins are going about having the grandest of times while having a grown adult probably with a masters degree or two under their belt running after the resident demon spawns of the paddock with an umbrella in hand to make sure they dont get too wet

ONE OF THE TWINS CARRYING AN UMBRELLA BUT CAUSE THE PROPORTIONS IT LOOKS GIANT

FULLY EXTENDED IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE BOTH OF THEM (derailing a bit to say i think ellie would be just the tiniest bit taller while théo would be the tiniest bit older)

back to the topic at hand

the twins each drinking a hot chocolate when spectating the race with their respective team principles, while the adults have a coffee to keep warm as well

and while they are drinking their warm drinks fred and christian are talking to them like full grown adults who work for them and the twins responding in same fashion

fred 🤝 christian: turning the twins into mini team principles one race at a time

omg ellie and théo making fred and christian patch them through to their uncles so they can tell them to watch out for puddles

(i can make a whole post of the twins on the team radios)

after the race they demand a cuddle session with their uncles (mick, sharl, george, lew, etc.) so that they can make sure they are warm from the elements of the day

their parents dont even get an invite at first and when they ask ellie responds with an "i guess 🤷‍♀️"

okay i think i've gone on long enough, hope this cheered you up a bit after the week you had 💜

☕

no but imagining little babies jumping through puddles in their little rain gear has me 🥹

ellie and theo would absolutely have a blast during rainy races, even if it’s pouring and everyone’s stressed and concerned about the hazardous conditions they’d just be having the time of their life (fred and christian would be like oh no rainy races are great, don’t worry little mini me’s, your uncle’s are totally fine [they’re not])

even if it hurts them to admit it, although the hot cocoa is great at ferrari and red bull, alpine interns make it special for them with the best chocolate they can find and it’s probably the only time you’ll ever willingly see them in the alpine garage during a rainy race

ALSO JUSTICE FOR THE INTERNS MY GOD

Chic Clothes for Kids: Fashionable and Fun

The Mini-Me Trend

One of the hottest trends in children's fashion is the "mini-me" look, where kids' clothes are styled to match adult fashion. This trend allows parents and kids to coordinate their outfits, creating adorable and Instagram-worthy moments. From matching denim jackets and chic sneakers to coordinated casual wear, the mini-me trend is perfect for parents who love to express their style through their children’s wardrobe.

Playful Prints and Patterns

Kids' fashion is all about fun, and playful prints and patterns are a big part of that. Think bright colors, whimsical designs, and bold graphics that make a statement. Animal prints, polka dots, and abstract art are popular choices that add a pop of personality to any outfit. These patterns not only make the clothes more appealing to kids but also stimulate their imagination and creativity.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Fashion

As sustainability becomes more important in the fashion industry, children’s clothing brands are also making strides in eco-friendly fashion. Organic cotton, recycled materials, and sustainable manufacturing practices are becoming standard. Brands like Patagonia and Mini Rodini are leading the way with stylish, sustainable options that parents can feel good about. Investing in eco-friendly clothes teaches kids the importance of caring for the environment from a young age.

Comfortable and Functional Styles

While style is important, comfort and functionality are key when it comes to kids’ clothes. Fabrics should be soft, breathable, and durable to withstand the wear and tear of active play. Stretchy leggings, easy-to-wear dresses, and adjustable waistbands are great choices that ensure kids can move freely and comfortably. Layering pieces like hoodies and cardigans are also practical, Chic clothes for kids allowing for easy adjustments to changing weather conditions.

Trendy Accessories

Accessories can elevate any outfit, and kids' fashion is no exception. Stylish hats, colorful scarves, and fun sunglasses add a touch of flair and personality. Backpacks and bags in trendy designs not only look great but also help kids stay organized. Footwear is another important accessory, Children's fashion essentials with options ranging from trendy sneakers to stylish boots that complete the chic look.

Seasonal Chic: Dressing for the Weather

Dressing kids appropriately for the season doesn’t mean sacrificing style. In the summer, lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton keep kids cool and comfortable. Sun hats and UV-protective clothing are both practical and stylish. In the winter, layering is key. Warm, chic coats, cozy scarves, and insulated boots ensure that kids stay warm while looking fashionable. Rainy days call for waterproof jackets and cute, colorful rain boots.

Personal Expression

Ultimately, the best part of fashion is allowing kids to express their individuality. Encouraging kids to choose their outfits helps them develop a sense of style and boosts their confidence. Whether they prefer a more classic look or something eclectic and bold, supporting their choices fosters creativity and self-expression.

Duh

Live your life like no one is watching.

This may seem like great wisdom, but it really is just a duh. I mean, why can't more folks just stop caring what others think about them, when they are doing things that don't hurt anybody. Fashion, so called guilty pleasures, age specific activities, and the like are all judged by someone. Who gave them the right? Their conservative upbringing is what gave them the right. An actor wears the "wrong" thing and the idiots go ballistic. Dickweeds, that's what judgmental people are! Break through your conditioning! Dance in the rain wearing a purple wig and big yellow boots while singing Gir's Doom Song on a Sunday sporting wicked witch of the west sunglasses or whatever weird-ass things you care to do. True adults just don't give a pink rat's ass! Related is a song I wrote with a more serious tone but still refers to conservative conditioning, and is indeed called Conditioning. It was recorded after my band, Bludstone, had changed it's name to Gojira, before we discovered that the French band Godzilla had changed their name to Gojira. They were bigger, so we changed our name again, but that's another rant.

Conditioning, by Bludstone (Gojira), from the album Archive of Anger.

FIRST MEETINGS MEME   A meme for first meetings and introduction threads, aka a ‘What you will notice about my muse first’ cheat sheet. Repost, don’t reblog. Bold what applies. Fill in details.   (Please do not remove the credit + blank meme link)    

tagged by: I stumbled on this and wanted to do it.

tagging: Tagging my other blogs @sadiesawyer and @backedagainstthewall, anyone else can take it if they want from the blank meme link below.

blank meme: x

GENERAL APPEARANCE

Sex: Masculine. Feminine. Non-Binary. 

Race: White (Mostly French, Irish, English)

Complexion:  Fair.  She actually can tan just a little bit, but mostly just gets freckly in the sun.  Or burns.

Height: 5′3″

Body Type: Endomorph. Mesomorph. Ectomorph. Other / More Details:  I’d describe Joanna as primarily mesomorph, with a slight degree of endomorph.  Her thighs tend to be the first thing to pick up extra weight.  She’s curvy, but still a bit on the small side.  

Body Build: Small. Medium. Athletic. Muscular. Soft. Curvy. Voluptuous. Other / More Details:  She has a very nice hourglass shape, which tends to get attention, especially from men.

Body Hair: None. Shaves/Waxes. Trims/Grooms. Untamed. Color: Notes:  Joanna keeps her leg hair short.  

Head Hair: None. Buzzed. Short. Medium. Long. Very Long. Asymmetrical Cut. Color:  Ginger/copper red   Style:  Naturally curly, she typically wears it down unless she needs to tie or pin it back to get it out of the way.  Only rarely puts it in a real updo. 

Eye color:  Light blue, almost grayish-blue.   Details:  Some people would describe her as doe-eyed.  

Scars:  One on her left knee from a bike accident as a kid that’s visible at close range.  Another small one from her ex-husband breaking a glass over her head.  She had a burn mark on one arm from an iron as a teenager that lasted a while, but it’s faded completely by the time she’s an adult.  

FASHION

Fashion Style: Vintage. Traditional. Casual. Artsy. Vibrant. Geeky/Nerdy. Tomboy. Sporty. Trendy. Preppy. Girly. Bohemian. Elegant. Formal. Grunge. Punk. Rocker. Gothic. Other: I’d describe it as “girly tomboy” in that she often wears graphic t-shirts but with short shorts or skirts.  

Color Palette: You’re more likely to see her in darker clothes, but she does wear some brighter ones sometimes.  

Typical Clothing:  Likes t-shirts (sometimes tank tops) and denim, either shorts or skirts in warm weather, jeans in cooler weather, often with a leather jacket.  She does have a certain love for floral and poofy skirts and will wear them sometimes, though.  Tennis shoes or boots are her typical footwear, with her breaking out flip flops on occasion.  She likes cowboy boots.  

Piercings: Ears

Tattoos:  None.  She almost got one once, but in a rare moment, chickened out.  Joanna’s not a big fan of needles, though I’d stop short of saying she has a fear of them.

Other Information:  If she has to dress up, she likes blue and green dresses, and likes the skirts to be big (think ball gowns or circle skirts), especially if they’re longer than her knees, so she can move around, and she thinks they’re cute.  She wears sunglasses in the daytime unless it’s very dark overcast or raining, as her eyes are slightly sensitive to bright light.  She does wear a uniform when she works as a mechanic.  

EXPRESSION

General Facial Expression:  Straight face, naturally slightly frowning to neutral look is her default look.  She’s emotional enough her face runs the gamut of most expressions, though.

Default Body Language:  Stands up straight, walks confidently, head up, though she leans back when she sits.  

General Movements:  Tilts her head and scrunches her face up when she’s in thought.  She’s very expressive with her hands when she talks, especially when she really gets going.  

NOTABLE FOR RP

Presence: She gives off a fairly bold, confident presence, which is sometimes true, sometimes an act.    

Appearance: She does put a little effort into her looks.  She spent years fighting her hair before learning to work with what she had.  She typically wears a little makeup, but occasionally says “screw it” and goes without.  She does put a lot more effort when she has to dress up.  

Scent: Floral shampoo she uses, motor oil or gasoline if she’s been working on cars.  She’s been told she has a slight peppermint-like scent sometimes. 

Voice Description:  Her pitch is about average.  She tends to talk rapidly, especially if she gets excited.  She tends to be a loud talker, unless she’s purposely trying to be quiet.  Usually if she’s around and talking, you’ll hear her.  

Accent: yes / no More information:  Joanna has a fairly distinct south Louisiana accent.  Anyone who’s not from there or at least the surrounding states will notice it pretty quickly.  It was somewhat more pronounced when she was a teenager and lived with her grandparents for a little while.  There is an occasional hint of a general Deep South pronunciation she’s picked up, especially on certain words.  

Speech Mannerisms: Joanna uses double negatives and contractions frequently.  Her speech is definitely not formal, but she has a certain flair with words when she wants to.  She swears, often, sometimes if she gets excited, frequently if she gets mad.  She tries not to do it around kids, her grandmother, or in church.  

Anything else to add?  Despite not being that well educated, Joanna has a talent for picking up languages.  Unusually for someone her age, she understands Louisiana French pretty well after spending some time living with her grandparents who are fluent (she can usually understand it spoken by others, but her own usage of it can be a little rough).  She also knows a fair bit of Spanish, enough to usually get the gist of a conversation.  (Verse note:  In her Wild West/RDR verse, she’s truly bilingual in English and French, in her pirate and Revolution verses, French is her native language, she’s fluent in English, she may or may not be fluent in Spanish but will still at least have a basic knowledge of it).

ok i will :D

so, there were three others in ranboo's core friend group! i reference them in 11:11 but dont go into detail.

so, there's Amanda, Eli, and "Other" Sophia, who is now the only sophia due to ranboo being trans, but was originally the other sophia. it wasnt really needed, since ranboo went by sophie and not sophia, but kids are like that.

they met through a kid's soccer team when they were all 7ish, though ranboo was the youngest of the group. eli, amanda, and ranboo were friends first because *gasp* other sophia played against them on a different team. eventually they all became friends though. sophia and eli both didn't stick with soccer for very long, but ranboo and amanda stayed playing until ranboo seemingly vanished. amanda still plays, not professionally, but with a community team.

amanda and ranboo had the houses they would all hang out at. amanda's family was in one of those nicer housing developments and the basement had a TV and couch and EVERYTHING. ranboo's house was smaller but they were the only "only child" which meant they had more stuff to themself and their parents were a little odd and very welcoming, so the ideal place to be.

amanda (she/her) was very much the group leader, a little bossy but not in a way that bothered the others. she was super athletic, adults said she had a "strong personality", she loved soccer. she and ranboo were the first to become friends of all of them, and the two of course always had soccer in common which meant extra time hanging out at practices and such

eli (they/them) was very artistic, started painting and stuff from a pretty young age, they lived the closest to ranboo of everyone and spent a lot of time over at ranboo's house, was very close with their family and all. their parents weren't like... bad parents, they just were busy and eli's sister was a fair amount older so she was in college when eli was in middle school, which meant the house was empty a lot. after ranboo didnt come back, eli was the only one who thought they were dead. amanda and other sophia were more inclined to believe that ranboo was living with different family or, worst case scenario, long-term in a hospital, but eli didnt have that optimism.

other sophia (she/they) was the oldest of the group, about a year older than ranboo. she's very science-y and very fashionable. lots of glitter and puffy skirts and jewelry and such. probably going to go into medicine or computer science. from a pretty young age she liked taking things apart and putting them back together. she and ranboo look very similar, too, on top of sharing a birthname, though she was always a lot more feminine. she was also very outgoing but still didn't have close friends outside their little group of four.

AND here's them. in the sims. both as kids and young adults

Amanda:

Eli:

Sophia:

and then i made ranboo as a kid too... not sure i can get them right as a teen/adult but i might try at some point

they indeed wore those boots and rain hat. everywhere for at least a year

Hi! Drdi question: After the accident did Ranboo ever manage to get into contact with his friends from his hometown ever again? Or do they know what happened at all

hi anon! that is actually going to fully be addressed in a future fic because i MADE ranboos friend group all fun people i love them they are special little OCs to me

but no, ranboo has not gotten into contact with them! it was a mix of things as to why: their original (very long) hospital stay kept them from contacting anyone since they didnt have a phone and stuff, and after that they didnt remember anyones numbers and all... YES they could have used social media to try to find their friends but... they were scared that having been in the accident and everything would make their friends not want them around anymore, and on top of that, they lived states away now. at a certain point, it had just been so long that they felt like they would just be fucking up their friend's lives by trying to show up again

as for their friends- the beloved's obituaries were findable, so they know ranboos parents died, but dont know what happened to ranboo. they could be dead, could have survived but be in a coma or something, could be fine and just moved far away... none of them know, but they all have their own thoughts. they do miss ranboo though. they were one of those inseparable friend groups that met when they were 6 or 7... fully planned to be friends forever, at each others weddings, etc etc

it was definitely hard on everyone
