Will your child be ready when the shit goes down?

What can I get you? #7

Bleiss is once again spying on Jaune as he works to find more of his housewreckers admirers . She wears a costume like last time. A large khaki trench coat, sunglasses and a discreet black hat that covers her hair.

Meanwhile, Jaune continues doing his job normally. While out of the corner of his eye he watches Bleiss sitting at the back of the restaurant eating her seventh hamburger.

Jaune: (Does she really think I don't notice her in that costume?)

He says to himself

Then a new client appears in front of him. A girl a little taller than normal, wearing a green dress, a green beret that she matches, and very round black glasses. But what caught her attention the most was her long curly reddish hair that reached the middle of her back.

She looked a little shy, as if this was the first time she had come to a place like this. She prepares to speak and says…

Random guy: You're taking too long, girl!

A man says as he cuts the line and stands in front of her. Pushing her back from such action. Luckily she doesn't fall, just her glasses get loose a little.

Bleiss: (What an asshole!)

Random Guy: I want an enlarged number 9 and a chocolate shake, pronto.

Jaune: I'm sorry but you will have to wait your turn. The young lady behind you was first.

Random guy: Come on boy, she was taking too long. Just give me what I order and I'll get the hell out of here.

Jaune: I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait like everyone else.

Random guy: Listen to me asshole, I'm starving. Give me my damn food and I'll get the fuck out of here.

At that moment you could see a vein forming on Jaune's forehead. His co-workers notice and move away a little.

Jaune: I'm sorry, but as I mentioned before, the lady behind you came first. Once she finishes giving me her order, I will gladly help you.

Random guy: Don't you listen to me, you moron! I'm starving here! Give me my fucking food!

Jaune: Sir, I can't...

Random guy: I don't give a fuck! Give me my food now!

At that moment Jaune's smile disappeared and his face changed to anger.

Jaune: *Furious* I don't give a flying fuck about your food. I mean, who the fuck do I look like? Your goddamn servant?

Random guy: W-What?! You can't talk like that!

Jaune: Bitch, I can talk to you any way I fucking want! But fuck it, if you really want your food so bad. Then let's go to the parking lot, and I'll drag you all the way to the dumpster so you can eat something. But if you don't want that, then Wait. Your. Fucking. Turn. Got it?!

Random guy: Y-Yes, sir.

Bleiss: *Blushing* (Fuck~💕 That was hot~)

Jaune: *Smiles* Good. Now can you give the lady some space, please.

Random guy: O-Of course.

The guy moves out of the way and the girl walks to the counter.

Jaune: What would you like to order, Miss?

Taking her gaze away from Jaune's. She hugs her book tightly and looks hard into Jaune's eyes. She looks nervous and her face is completely flushed. She tries to say something but it's hard for her.

Jaune: It's ok, take your time.

He says with his bright smile

?????: M-My...

Jaune: Yes?

Penny: M-My n-name is Pe-Pe-Penny!

Jaune: Nice to meet you Penny. My name is Jaune. What would you like to order? Or do you need help with the menu?

Penny: I...

Jaune: *Smiling*

Penny: I...!

Jaune: Hm?

Penny: I NEED TO GO!

Penny runs towards the exit, leaving Jaune confused.

Jaune: Did I scare her?

Unknown to him, Penny was outside against the wall of the restaurant. He hugs her tightly while she breathes softly. She then moves the book away from her body. And as she looks at the cover she says.

Penny: I finally found him~

Revealing the cover that says "Rapunzel"

Showing a girl trapped in a tower with very long hair, being rescued by a knight using said hair to climb.

The Karma music video is packed with queer and sapphic themes. But what’s with that yellow beret?

We all watched the Karma music video on Friday (or Saturday), right? And then we all watched it ten more times because there IS JUST SO MUCH THERE. Right?!

I can’t even begin to unpack the whole thing yet, but let’s talk about the yellow brick road scene.

Taylor is obviously wearing ruby slippers (“the rubies that I gave up”) alluding to Dorothy/the Wizard of Oz. But she’s not wearing the rest of Dorothy’s getup. That’s because she’s not Dorothy, but in fact a friend of Dorothy.

She’s holding a broom (lots of witchy themes from her lately) and blows a kiss of blue (iykyk) glitter to three grim reapers (the two SBs and…?).

She’s keeping her side of the street clean, which harkens to the YNTCD MV where she clearly shows which side of the street she’s on:

Other things of note: it appears there are daisies embroidered on her collar, as well as growing along the yellow brick road. Her braids are also looped (“your braids make a pattern”).

The yellow brick road itself may be a nod to Elton John and his album/song Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Here are some of the lyrics from that song, as well as a generally accepted analysis of the lyrics:

&

Seems like it would be super relatable to Taylor, right? Add in Elton John’s queerness/coming out journey, and the parallels continue.

There are probably a hundred other things I’m missing just from that scene alone, but what I really wanna talk about is the yellow beret, especially in light of current news surrounding Taylor.

When I saw the yellow beret, I furiously googled “yellow beret” + the names of Taylor’s muses, but I came up empty-handed. Because Taylor is specifically not wearing a Dorothy costume, I knew that fucking hat had to mean something. Then I remembered — isn’t yellow beret a military term? And we know she loves a good war story. To Google I went, and the results did not disappoint.

During the Vietnam war, all physicians in the US had a mandatory draft order. One of the ways to avoid the draft was to apply for a position with a Public Health Service program called the NIH Associates Training Program. Because the elite program was highly competitive, only a small percentage of doctors were able to serve their required military time without going to war.

Yellow beret was a self-deprecating and derogatory term used by and for doctors who avoided getting a green beret/going to war (yellow can be associated with cowardice, i.e. “yellow-bellied”) via the NIH program.

Sounding familiar? But wait there’s more.

Bob Seger wrote a song in 1966 called The Ballad of the Yellow Beret. It was written as a parody of the song The Ballad of the Green Berets. Here are some of the lyrics (I encourage you to read all of them!):

Verse 1: Fearless cowards of the USA // Bravely here at home they stay // They watch their friends get shipped away // The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret

Okay, I’m seated.

Verse 3: Men who faint at the sight of blood // Their high-heeled boots weren't meant for mud // The draft board will hear their sob stories today // Only the best win the yellow beret

Oooookay.

Verse 4: Back at home a young wife waits // Her yellow beret has met his fate // He's been drafted for marching in a protest //Leaving her his last request

Are you screaming yet? Just wait.

Verse 5: Put a yellow streak down my son's back // Make sure that he never ever fights back // At his physical have him say he's gay // Have him win the yellow beret

And if that wasn’t enough, two of the last lyrics are “I've got a pimple on my trigger finger” (ew) and “well, we were planning on having children sometime soon” (devastating). These themes also align with The Great War, epiphany, etc.

But despite attempts to diminish their efforts through claims of cowardice, these “yellow beret” physician-scientists contributed to some of the most important and innovative medical research we have today. Dr. Fauci attended the training program, as well as nine others who went on to win Nobel Prizes.

Could it be that Taylor is trying to tell us that, while it looks like she dodged the draft (didn’t come out), she’s doing some important mastermind shit behind the scenes? Only time will tell, but since we are now at “dawn,” I believe daylight is soon to follow. ☀️

breaking news! several new species of little freak just discovered insidr my mind

image description in alt text + more detailed description below the cut!

[Start ID. Several simple digital drawings of characters from Freeman's Mind-style Half-Life machinima series against a blue swirl background. The illustration is signed "Prinnamon." From top-left to bottom-right:

Barney Calhoun of Barney's Mind is depicted as a tan-skinned Black man with long black curly hair. He wears only the shirt, tie, pants, and shoes of the Black Mesa Security Force uniform. He smiles excitedly and points with his right arm at the viewer.

Adrian Shephard of Shephard's Mind is depicted as a tan-skinned man with mid-length brown hair. He wears a modified HECU uniform consisting of a dark green helmet, a black gas mask with a green visor, a light grey camo shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a black vest, black gloves and boots, and a dark green backpack. His helmet has a fruit sticker stuck on one side and a barcode sticker on the other. He sits with his hands between his legs with a calm or bored expression. The characters are cropped below the waist.

Barney and Shephard hug each other. Barney is wearing a security vest now and Shephard has his helmet off. Barney has his eyes shut tight with a big grin. Shephard looks away with a calm or bored expression.

Vincent Stark of Stark's Mind is depicted as a light-skinned Asian-American man with short black hair, a goatee, and semi-rimless rectangular glasses who looks a bit like a better-groomed Gordon Freeman. He is wearing a Mark V HEV suit. He smiles and reclines with his arm around a docile Antlion Soldier, a yellow-green insectoid alien with four legs and no visible eyes, which has one of its legs around his body.

Chell of the Chell's Mind series by CyhAnide is depicted as a brown woman with a mole on her face and another on her left hand, brown eyes, and long curly dark brown hair pulled into a low ponytail. Felix Freeman of Felix's Mind is depicted as a white man with mid-length light brown hair and a goatee and square-framed glasses. He is wearing a Mark V HEV suit. Chell carries Felix, who clings to her. Both appear shocked. Chell's mouth is agape and Felix frowns. Felix's full body is visible. Everything other than Chell's face and hands is cropped out.

Kate of Arlen's Mind is depicted as a light-skinned woman with short straight brown hair dyed blonde and partially pulled into a ponytail. She has brown eyes and her face is dotted with faint freckles. She wears square-framed glasses. She wears a Black Mesa Security Force uniform with a blue beret that has a white Black Mesa emblem instead of a helmet. She smiles and stares into space. She is magnified as though viewed through a fish-eye lens.

There are two similar but horizontally flipped drawings of Kate smiling and sitting. These doodles are so simplified that she does not have arms.

Chell, dressed in a blue and orange jester's costume and wearing white knee braces over black leggings, strikes a sassy pose. She has a speech bubble with sans-serif text that reads "Come along, sire. Let us have a giggle."

Kate lies face down on the floor with a thought bubble containing a smaller but otherwise identical drawing of her in the same pose. End ID.]

A Long Road Home - Page 69 Author Notes

Page 69

This scene appears pretty much as it is here in the opening chapter of Remember Us, except that it cuts off before the last panel. The idea of Matilda desperately crying out “I’m alive, I’m alive,” with her last thoughts haunted me so much that I didn’t want to diminish the impact of the line by slipping it into a fic that had a lot else going on.

Throughout the first chapter and in fact up until just the previous page Imogen has been steadfastly insisting “you’re alive” about Laudna, unwilling to believe otherwise. Laudna herself has been evasive about the subject (the last page was the first time she has explicitly referred to herself as dead) but now Imogen is finally about to find out that there’s more nuance to that answer than she thought.

In an earlier version of the script this was going to be what led to Laudna telling Imogen her story. I decided the chapter worked better leading up to that so I moved it to the end. The lead-in was also different, Imogen was experiencing the dream as though it was happening to her:

Panel 1: But her dream is an unfamiliar one. Everything has a grim, slightly grey-blue cast to it like Laudna's memories. She's seated at a long table at an unimaginably decadent dinner party. She is wearing strange clothes, including a light blue tabard with white fox fur trim over one shoulder and blue feathers in her hair, which is braided. Six others are around her -- a big man in warpaint, a dark-haired boy in black, a freckled, red-haired girl in green, a pale-haired young man with glasses and a fancy coat, and two children, a little boy in a purple beret and a little blonde girl wearing a blue tunic and a talisman. They all look like they've been dressed for a costume party. Panel 2: At the head of the table she can see the lord and lady of the estate, a beautiful and imposing pair. The lady in particular is regarding her thoughtfully. Panel 3: Then she's being dragged away by guards, while the lady watches. Panel 4: Then she's huddled on a stone floor, blood running from her mouth, vainly trying to protect herself from a brutal beating by the guards, while the lady watches. Panel 5: Finally, she is hanging from a massive dead tree alongside the other six dinner guests, struggling in a panic with the noose, although the others around her are dead. Blood is running down either side of her neck. Panel 6: And at the foot of the tree, the lady is watching.

I liked the reminder that when Imogen is experiencing someone else’s dreams she’s probably seeing them like they’re her own rather than like watching a movie, but since I hadn’t done that with the earlier Matilda flashbacks (I think this one was actually written first, it was a relic of a very early version of the script that persisted until recently) I didn’t like the discontinuity. It also clearly is building up to the answer to Laudna’s other great mystery —

Imogen: I had . . . I had a horrible nightmare, only it wasn't the same one as usual. There was a . . . a real fancy dinner party, and a castle, and a big ol' dead tree, and . . . and a lady . . . Laudna: So you met Lady D, did you? I thought you might, eventually. Imogen: What do you mean?

— the identity of Lady D, which I also felt gave the chapter more narrative focus if it was moved to the end.

But there still needed to be some reason for Imogen to find out that Laudna is not as alive as she used to be and start asking about her past, so the result was this scene, originally written for the END of Laudna’s flashback sequence as it was told chronologically, becoming an absolute sucker punch.

It’s not clear whether or not the Sun Tree effigies were still alive when they were put in the tree. (My inexpert forensic analysis is that if they were executed by hanging their hands would have been tied, which would have prevented Laudna from escaping when she was reawakened.) Her own account of what happened, as she told to Orym, was this:

And then… That was it. They dragged me away, separated me from my parents. I was brutally beaten and then… It's a little fuzzy after that. But next thing I remember was waking up, being hung from a tree. It was the Sun Tree, actually. It was quite a spectacle. [x]

She doesn’t specify whether the waking up happened before or after she died. My interpretation is that she was supposed to be beaten to death before being put on display, but Strength of the Grave restored her last remaining hp on the way to the tree so she was more conscious than she wanted to be, in the end.

And Delilah just didn't care, because she was nothing more to her at that point than a doll intended for display.

RSU: asoue netflix

there are, in fact, things i do like or appreciate about the show!!

-i genuinely do love seeing babybea!! actually having a scene where she interacts with lemony is really great and it's such a precious scene too. her lil beret is fucking adorable. -the henchperson's coroner van in reptile room saying CORNER -olaf smashing the lights in the hallway in hostile hospital is truly scary and i always liked that part -"it's been eight minutes, do you want some tea?" is incredibly iconic. something i could see book!jacques saying as well -I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO SIT AND TALK WITH HIM AGAIN -honestly lemony's physical placement in the scenes was overall done really really well. lemony is an undeniable part of this world and this story and we get to see him there -also his costumes were stellar -i really do like seeing the denouements, like physically seeing them move around and in and out of scenes was really, really cool, like visually seeing the hotel and the three of them pretending to be two people honestly was incredible. in my initial notes about season 3 i said tv was made to show the three chapters that happen simultaneously and i stand by it bc it was neat to finally see!!!!!!!!!! -the green hotel has grown on me, too. i must say. same with the denouements having mustaches. -you know, show!poe was hilarious, honestly. when i think of mr. poe, i do in fact think of show!poe now, without fail. -"i speak all of them hella fluently" -oh the reveal of jacques' vfd tattoo in ersatz elevator was great -i think the song references in the dialogue were really fun!! 'i can hit a blackbird flying in the dead of night', 'oh, i'll tell you what i want', 'what's that thing james brown said?' -oh, that murakami quote, too!! -they really crafted an atmosphere on the show, with the sets and the clothes and the colors, and there were a lot of little background details to zoom in on or catch, and although maybe it wasn't an, expected atmosphere? it makes the show feel like a solid, contained world -violet's outfits were super cute!! -jacquelyn kicking the payphone off the hook and dialing with her heel -although it could've been handled differently, i liked the scenes of vfd in the background in the first season. i liked seeing more of gustav!!!!! -"look, here's a picture of us." "there's no one in that photograph." "we're locked inside the piano." -lucy punch as esme really was inspired -i love the pattern on the sugar bowl!! -not to keep bringing up reptile room but just the room itself. monty's house itself. it's always SO beautiful. like there's actually a lot of heart and love in his house and i just love the big glass windows so much -just seeing the books get the opportunity to be adapted as a whole -- even if, yeah, i don't consider it an overwhelmingly successful adaptation -- was still great and a real highlight of my life! the anticipation of it, watching the trailers (watching the mysterious completely unrelated trailer...........), getting my tattoo which was based off a season one eye design, the idea of the show brought back a lot of interest and love for the series!! and i know it brought a lot of new fans to the books afterwards, or previous fans back to the books!! and that's nice.

Hi, what is this badge on Erik's jacket? A Viking badge? Is it a Swedish royal thing?

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14664414/mediaviewer/rm4262198273/

He's wearing a military parade uniform of some sort, but I never did military service, that's for straight people or something, so I can't tell at a glance if it's real or fake.

The uniform is navy blue, but single-buttoned, and it looks like an army uniform, which is a bit weird, because Swedish royals traditionally go in the navy. His epaulettes mark him as a private, but it doesn't look like an army one, more like a marine one maybe?

But the exact same uniform makes an appearance again at the funeral, the soldiers carrying Erik's casket are all wearing it, same epaulettes, same chest badge, and no stripes or stars signifying officers anywhere. Their green berets and their presence marks them as members of the Life Guard, but it would make absolutely zero sense for Erik to belong to that regiment, so it's all weird.

So my best guess is that the whole military uniform is fake on purpose. It uses elements of real ones, but adds fake things, and I think that that viking helmet chest badge is just made up for the show by the costume designers, I can't find anything that looks like that in the real world.

Some of my favorite lil moments in my local production of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee!! It has been so much fun interning for this lovely show and i wanted to share some propaganda via fanart. If you're in or around the Makati area, please pleaaase check it out, i implore, it's so creative and energetic and fun. This was my first proper exposure to the show and honestly i think it was perfect. The direction, choreo, costumes, character choices, are all SO amazing!!!!

Information can be found at the Sandbox Collective's Instagram or Facebook page :D

also yes, these are all things that more or less really happened in the production. including the vine boom (kind of. it was a different dramatic sting but still).

can you tell leaf is my favorite fjkdfjs

Trick-or-Treat, love🎃💗

Happy Halloween, lovely! How about a little costume party for our dear Hannix? 😉

The Hard Deck was more packed than usual tonight, orange and purple strobe lights spinning around the bar and illuminating the crowd of costume-clad aviators and their dates. Ever since Penny had started hosting an annual Halloween bash at her beloved bar, it had become one of the highlights of everyone’s year.

Music blared from the DJ’s speakers as people danced and flirted and ordered round after round of shots at the bar. The room was filled nearly to bursting, everyone dressed to the nines in the most creative costumes they could come up with. With a $150 cash prize for the lucky patron who was awarded “Best Costume,” every single guest had pulled out all the stops for tonight’s festivities.

In Jake Seresin’s not-so-humble opinion, no one in The Hard Deck looked better than his raven-haired girlfriend. Gazing at her from his spot at the bar, where he was awaiting another round of drinks for the Daggers, he couldn’t help but feel an inordinate amount of pride bubbling up inside his chest.

There was no one more beautiful on this earth than Natasha Trace, and she was here with him tonight—quite literally the Bonnie to his Clyde.

Their costumes had been his idea. Phoenix had adamantly insisted that she hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since high school, and she wasn’t inclined to pick the habit back up any time soon. But Jake had finally managed to wear her down with his endless pleading and pouts—not to mention the fact that he’d agreed to cook dinner for a whole week.

“Bonnie and Clyde? Seriously, Bagman?” she had laughed when he’d told her what he had in mind.

“What? You wouldn’t want to live the outlaw life with me?” he had teased in return, snagging her around the waist and pulling her in for a kiss.

The outlaw life suited her just fine, Jake decided, his green eyes still fixed on where she was laughing with Fanboy and Bob by the pool table. With a cute little beret perched atop her dark hair, a blouse that hugged her curves in all the right places, and a skirt that left very little to his admittedly overactive imagination, she looked every inch the 1930s femme fatale.

No wonder Clyde had been willing to risk it all for a shot at forever with Bonnie.

Once Jimmy finished filling a tray with fresh beverages, Jake lifted it up above the heads around him and began making his way back to his fellow Daggers. As he moved through the packed space, he heard the opening strains of a familiar tune, one his grandparents had loved listening to when he was growing up—“Witchcraft” by Frank Sinatra.

Setting down the new round of drinks atop the pool table, he immediately reached for Phoenix’s hand and tugged her towards him.

“Come dance with me,” he grinned, chuckling under his breath when she looked up at him with an arched brow and snapped at one of his suspenders.

“What about my drink?” she shot back, her dark red lips curving slightly.

“Bob will guard it for you,” Jake smirked, winking over at their friend before turning and pulling Phoenix out onto the dance floor.

As Sinatra crooned through the speakers, the blonde-haired aviator took his girlfriend’s arms and draped them over his shoulders, resting his hands on her hips and swaying slowly to the music.

“I guess dressing up wasn’t the worst idea you’ve ever had, Bagman,” Phoenix conceded with a begrudging smirk, sliding one hand down his chest as their bodies were pressed even more tightly together in the crush of the crowd.

“That’s high praise coming from you, Minx,” Jake laughed, pinching her hip playfully.

“Don’t get used to it,” she grinned, tugging on the front of his button down shirt to pull him down for a kiss as the music reached a crescendo.

Green eyes sparkling mischievously, Jake sang along with Ol’ Blue Eyes as the song slowly came to an end—“’Cause there’s no nicer witch than you…”

bev keane was embezzlinggggggg SO blatantly from st patricks if you look at her costume it is OBVIOUS from her first appearance she consistently is wearing the best quality best fabric all around nicest clothing out of absolutely everyone like LOOK at her matching cloak and beret that is a high percentage wool blend at LEAST and im leaning towards pure wool and that thing is in IMPECCABLE condition look at this shit

[ID: Two images from behind of Bev Keane from Midnight Mass, wearing a circular gray wool hip-length cape/cloak, with a collar, a detachable plaid-lined hood, and a matching gray wool beret. There is no sign of wear on the cloak or beret.]

like im not saying you could never find this in a major clothing retailer, or a thrift store (as if bev keane would be caught dead in a thrift store) bc i certainly havent been keeping close enough track of mainstream fashion trends, and im definitely not saying that someone can't save to buy fewer and better quality pieces over their lifetime, or even inherit really good clothing. but what i am saying is that (a) everything she wears is crisp and vibrant enough to be like-new and (b) almost everyone else's outerwear looks like this

[ID: Leeza and Wade Scarborough from Midnight Mass. Leeza wears a white cable-knit sweater, on which is layered a pink zip jacket, on which is layered a muted yellow zippered and hooded windbreaker. Wade wears a gray plaid button-down, on which is layered a dark gray zip jacket, on which is layered a greenish-gray zippered and hooded windbreaker.]

sensible! practical! layered! and a damn sight less expensive per item than a woolen cloak and beret set that I don't recall her ever wearing past that first day. not to mention that bev is never caught dead in a windbreaker, her equivalent is a woolen peacoat.

and it continues on like this throughout - bev's outfits are consistently a step nicer than anyone else's. this isn't a commentary on how feminine the outfits are, because erin's outfits are on a similar level of femininity while being noticeably less expensive*. and it's not that bev's clothes are impossible to find at major retailers but at least in my experience (and maybe it's different in crockett island's region! my fast fashion experiences are not universal) it's going to be way easier to find something like erin's sundresses and cardigans. like, look at these shots

[ID: three stills of the school board meeting from Episode 3 of Midnight Mass. The first shot, of the parents from the front, shows most of the parents in muted plaids, henley shirts, denim, and other fairly plain and utilitarian clothing. The second shot, a wide shot capturing both Erin Greene and Bev Keane, shows Erin in a dusty pink maxi dress and a midweight gray knitted cardigan. The third shot, a closeup on Bev, shows her in a saturated, dark-colored paisely collared button-down full length dress, a pale yellow lighter-weight knit cardigan, a string-of-pearls-with-golden-hooks cardigan clasp, and a gold cross necklace. In all three shots, Bev's yellow cardigan is easily the most saturated thing in the room.]

and like. okay. a fucking gold(-colored metal) and pearl cardigan clasp? a fucking cardigan clasp? something specifically made to keep your cardigan on your shoulders when you wear it like a capelet? a thing that is only necessary when you refuse to wear your cardigan like a cardigan because your nice crisp dress has bishop sleeves that puff a little at the wrist.

bev's clothes are substantially nicer than any of the parents', and also definitely nicer quality than erin's (and better-fitted! her clothes often have more structure to them, whereas erin's comparable dresses are usually slouchier and more likely to be knit and/or just plain less substantial fabric. these are markers of likely greater care, complexity, and quality materials going into bev's clothing).

even mildred at her most stylish (from a lifetime of accumulated clothing she clearly takes pride in, no less!) isn't quite on the level of pearl and gold cardigan clasp. bev is embezzling without a doubt. she is not solely responsible for crockett island's decline, but she is absolutely hastening it.

*although actually it is noticeable that bev favors long, usually pleated skirts. firstly bc these are in my experience harder to find in big box stores than your average thinnish maxidress (my one, treasured ankle length pleated wool skirt was very reasonably priced at forty dollars from the thrift store**, and I have never seen its like sold firsthand), and secondly because bev's style very much reads to me as the Women Should Never Wear Pants flavor of American fundamentalism. obviosuly that strain of fundie is Protestant, not Catholic, and I dont know if Catholicism has an equivalent flavor, but the fact that she Literally Never Wears Pants combined with the determinedly modest long skirts and high collars combined with the insufferable self-righteousness reads that way to me.

**I know. it's my most expensive thrift by far but a comparable quantity of just the wool fabric was fifty dollars three years ago.

It’s Always Been You pt12

(Kyoya x Male Reader)

Chapter twelve 

-Honey’s three bitter days!-

  A crash echos throughout the club, the worst days are upon them.

  “Now you’ve done it!” Tamaki gasped at the scene, Usa-chan drenched in tea.

  “It done alright.” Kaoru looks upon it.

  “But it wasn’t our fault.”

 “What! You idiots, you’re the ones who bumped into it, right?”

  “Only because Haruhi was running away.”

 The twins pulled Haruhi into a suffocating embrace.

  “We were trying to catch her cause we wanted to have some fun and dress her up in cosplay.”

  “So what?! We cosplay all the time!” Tamaki rebuttals.

 “We weren’t going with the usual host club costumes!” The twins gave a devilish smile.

  “We want to see Haruhi in a bunny cosplay, disguised as a girl.”

 “Disguised as a girl..?” Tamaki muttered.

  “You’d like to see it to, wouldn’t you?” The twins grinned

 Tamaki turns red.

“I definitely want to see that…” Tamaki freezes and began harshly yanking at his hair.

  “What am i thinking, there’s no time for stuff like that right now!” Tamaki points to the twins.

  “I know what you’re up to! You’re trying to distract me from the mess you made! Get away from Haruhi! You punks!”

 “No way~” the twins taunt pulling Haruhi impossibly closer.

  “Let me go!” Haruhi whined trying to pull away.

  “I know you’re-“

 “Excuse me, we don’t have any guests at the moment, so I don’t mind if you make a racket, but please be careful. 

 You don’t want to wake up honey-senpai.” Kyoya interrupted, still tapping away at his computer.

 “He’s a third year and he still takes afternoon naps?” Haruhi looked towards a peaceful Honey sleeping on the couch.

  “Without naps I would’ve ended up killing Tamaki, years ago.” 

 Y/n defended.

  “Why am I always the victim!” Tamaki whispered yell.

 “Because it’s you.” He shrugged. “That doesn’t make any sens-!”

 “Well we’re going to have to tell him about the bunny at some point. Let’s just wake him up and apologize.” Haruhi began walking towards Honey.

 Tamaki and the twins hurridly hid behind one of the couches.

  “No wait! Don’t get any closer to Honey-senpai!” Tamaki whispered.

  “Come back! It’s safer this way!” 

 Haruhi retreats and hides with the three.

  “What’re you talking about?”

 “Honey-senpai wakes up in a very bad mood after napping.”

 “Now this may be a rumour, but the Haninozuka family once visited a U.S. military base to give combat training. Supposedly, Honey-senpai slept through most of it because of his jet lag.”

  “Then a soldier came in and carelessly tried to wake him up. Since he had been sleeping for so long…”

  “On that day, he wiped out two entire platoons of soldiers, and not just any soldiers, green berets!”

  “And I’ve heard we’ve had diplomatic issues with American ever since that day!”

 The twins shivered.

  “How terrifying!”

 “And we’ve got a bigger problem. Usa-chan was handmade for Honey-senpai by his deceased grandmother. 

 You’ve seen how he carries it around, that little bunny is his most prized possession! 

 Imagine how he’s gonna react when he wakes and sees that his precious Usa-chan is ruined!”

 “He’s gonna do to us what his did to those green berets!” The three screams.

  “You’re exaggerating. It’s impossible for that story to be true. I mean, c’mon.” Haruhi deadpanned.

 “It is! And there’s other evidence that Honey-senpai has an evil side to him. Listen this, his blood type is AB, how do you like that?” 

  “Yeah so what?”

 “He’s saying he is the blood type as Kyoya.” Y/n lazily points to Kyoya.

 This got to Haruhi as she began freaking out along with the trio.

 “What’s the matter you guys have a problem with my blood type?” Kyoya counties tapping away on his laptop.

 Honey rolls over in his sleep with a sigh.

 “This is bad! We have to do something quick before he wakes up. Hikaru, Kaoru!” Tamaki snaps his fingers.

  “Sir!” The twins whispered with a salute.

 “Why is everything life or death with this club.” Y/n lays his head on the table. Glancing at Kyoya.

  “I mean can’t they just, y’know wash it.” 

  “They’re worried he might find out, and what he’ll do.”

  “Yes I know but it’s not like they teared him apart.” Y/n exhaled, watching the group go down in flames.

  The twins latched onto Y/n holding a pink bunny costume.

  “No.” He muttered.

 “Cmon~ Haruhi won’t do it! You’re our only hope.” 

  “I didn’t ruin Usa-chan, don’t drag me into this.” 

  “Please.” The twins plea.

 “No.”

Honey abruptly wakes up. A cold shiver ran through the room. 

 “He’s awake! We’ll have to use a substitute, we’ve got no choice!” Tamaki quickly places down a brown teddy bear.

 Honey rubbed his eyes, and looks to see the teddy, a deafening silence falls upon everyone. 

The twins nervously await in anticipation.

 Honey grabs the bear, and slams in to the ground.

 “Not my teddy bear!” Tamaki cried.

  “He’s gonna come after us next!” 

 Honey slowly walks towards the table Usa-chan resided. And saw the state of him.

  “He just spotted the bunny!” 

 He looks up to the host club with a stone cold glare.

  “Who’s responsible for this. Who got Usa-chan dirty?” 

 “Want some?” Y/n hands over a container of popcorn to kyoya.

  “Where did you even get that?”

 “Answer the question do you want any.”

  Kyoya reached in to grab some.

 “Some please help us! Mori-senpai please protect us!”

 “He wanted tea. So Usa-chan decided to have a drink.” Mori calmly explained.

  “I see! So that’s why his face is dirty, isn’t it! Do you think he wants some cake too?” Honey now sunshine and giggles, holds up Usa-chan

 Not long club hours finally start and guests start piling in.

  And like second nature Y/n and Kyoya are off watching the rest of the club. However something is different this time.

 Haruhi was bringing a tray of tea to Honey’s table.

  “Uh honey-senpai, you can’t keep eating nothing but sweets all of the time. Y’know you’re gonna end up getting a cavity.” She placed down the tray.

  “Oh don’t worry about it, I always brush my teeth!” Honey takes a bite and freezes.

 “Honey-senpai… is… it…?” Haruhi worriedly looks to Honey.

  “Nah it’s nothing.. don’t worry about it..” honey holds his cheek.

 The twins hold Honey down on his chair.

  “Just let me take a look in your mouth!” Haruhi struggled, as Honey throughs a fit.

  “Hold still..”

 Honey is still squirming, delaying what’s doom to come.

 “Honey-senpai, please quit squirming!”

 “There’s nothing wrong with me! Quit messing with me!” Honey starts to tear up.

 “Leave me alone!”

 Mori quietly walks up to Honey, he pushes Honey down onto the sofa, using his hand to look at Honeys mouth.

 The guests swoon at the display.

“Why are our guests obsessed with incest.” Y/n groaned.

 “So it’s a cavity?” Tamaki pops up.

 “Yeah.”

 “It’s alright, I’ll be okay.” Honey whimpered.

 “Tamaki.”

 “Yes, you’re right, I’ll take care of this.” Tamaki clears his throat.

  “Until Honey-senpai gets over his cavity, I’m afraid he can’t have sweets.”

  “Therefore, we’ll be supportive and ask that you kindly refrain from eating snacks in the club till this whole ordeal is over.”

 The next day arrives, and Honey is now walking around with a ribbon tied around his head, the bow imitating bunny ears.

 Everyday, was Honeys personal hell. It felt like Mori was personally punishing him.

 “You had better What yourselves out there. Don’t give any sweets to Honey-senpai no matter what tricks he resorts to 

 and incidentally those instructions came from Mori-senpai, this wasn’t my doing.” Kyoya smiled, with an upbeat attitude.

 “You seem to be enjoying yourself.” Y/n grinned.

  “Is it possible it’s related to the lack of money going towards Honey’s addiction.” Y/n spoke with a knowing smile.

  “It’s a possibility.” Kyoya smiled.

 “It’s weird seeing you like this” Y/n joked.

 “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

 “Never mind. But how long do you think Honey’s gonna start using his special skills.”

 “I believe he’s already started.”

  “Hm?”

 Kyoya points to Honey, who’s now right behind Y/n.

  “Jesus! A warning.” Y/n gasped.

 “Sorry for scaring you… but I was just wondering if.. you had sweets to spare?” He gave a puppy dog look.

  “…I mean I have no candy on me…” Y/n, slid his bag farther from Honey.

  Honey pulls the bag, and digs through it.

  “He’s lost it.” Y/n nervously spoke.

 Honey began pulling out, anything he finds.

 “Aren’t you going to stop him?” Kyoya looked at a frustrated Honey.

 “I mean I don’t have anything to hide.” He spoke fanning innocent.

  Honey began piling an absurd amount of energy drinks. Honey flips the bag upside down, and finds nothing. He pouted and stormed off.

 “Great now everything is on the floor.” He tiredly rubbed his face.

 He sighed a grabbed the pile of clutter into the table.

 “Now is a better time to clean my bag I guess..”

 “You should’ve stopped him.”

“Yeah yeah I know.” 

  He starts organizing the pile. As kyoya ‘helped’.

  “I have to ask, how did you fit all of this into your bag?” Kyoya picked out the third deck of cards.

  “Magic~” he shakes his hands.

 A black and red book got Kyoya’s eye. He pulled it from the pile and looked at it. 

 The cover had a black design of a diamond, against a red backdrop.

  Inside was fairly new paper, the writings consisted of typical casino card game rules, how to mix certain drinks. 

 And with stray messy notes of reminders, off topic rants, along with contact information underlined.

 “Hm? What did you find-“

He looks at the small book.

 “Are you reading my notebook?” 

 “Give it.” He grabs the book, and places back into his bag.

 “You don’t see me go through your book.” He muttered.

 He placed the last bit of objects back in the bag.

 “Shouldn’t you empty the kitchen, before Honey gets to it.”

  The third day rolls around and Honey isn’t doing any better, he’s been pacing around in the kitchen. 

 The club was getting worried, sure they expected him to be upset. But they weren’t thinking how much Honey would change.

 “He’s gonna crack.” Tamaki stared at the ticking time bomb.

 “Would someone please talk to him, he’s scaring me…” kaoru mumbled.

  “He’s heading for the Candy!”

 Honey ripped open a cabinet, nearly knocking it off its hinges.

 “No need to worry, we emptied out of all the sweets.” Kyoya happily mentioned.

 “And now I have an entire room filled with candy.” Y/n sighed.

 Honey grabs the bear that replaced the candy, and slammed it in cold blood.

 “He’s keeps doing that to my teddy bear!” Tamaki cried.

  Honey stumbled out of the kitchen, and before he got far he tumbled. Almost like a rag doll.

 “Well there he goes.”

 “-Three days and he gives up.”

 “Withdrawal is real monster to deal with.” Y/n walks towards the limp Honey.

  “Are you okay?” He lends out a hand.  

 Honey looked at his hand, way too long.

 He then latched on to Y/n and bites into him, bound to leave a nasty scar.

 “Shit! Let go!” He began frantically trying pull him off.

 “Someone get him off!” 

 “Mitsukuni, don’t take this out on other people.” Mori stares at Honey.

  He lets go, but now he’s glaring at Mori.

 Y/n hastily backs away.

He looks back at the bite, and sees blood soaking through the uniform.

 “How… did he bite through two layers of fabric.” Y/n starts hyperventilating, digging through his bag.

  “Where is it…”

 He gives up, and decided to take his bag with him to the private bathrooms.

 He finally finds a bathroom, and slams the door behind him.

  He puts the bag on the counters by the sinks. He takes off his blazer. 

 Only find nearly his entire white button up sleeve is drenched in blood, He cringed at the state of it.

  He quickly went back to digging through his bottomless pit of a bag. For the life of him he couldn’t find his bandages, the frustration almost bring him to the brink of tears.

 -Knock Knock

 “Busy!” He quickly yelled.

 “It’s me, Y/n.” 

 He stared at the door, before opening the door.

 Kyoya stood there holding out a beaten up first aid kit.

 “You forgot to put this back in your bag.” He placed the kit next to Y/n.

 “Of course I did.” He muttered. Already begging for this day to end.

“Look you don’t have to stay, I can handle it.” 

  “I highly doubt it.”

 “I- fine don’t have to be smug bastard about it.” He huffed, pulling himself up on the marble counter

  Kyoya opened the kit, he pulled out bandages and a small bottle of disinfectant.

  “You need to take off your shirt.” He sets down the supplies  next to him.

 “Getting bold now are we, Kyoya.” 

  Kyoya just stared at him.

 He buttons his shirts a slips it  off his shoulders putting the stained shirt to the side.

 “There, happy now?”

 Kyoya lets out a hum before grabbing a towel and turning on the sink.

 “Give me your arm.”

 He listens and holds it out.

He began cleaning the wound.

  “So what’s the diagnosis, doc? How long do I have to live?” Y/n joked. 

 flustered with the fact he could feel Kyoya’s breath on him. He heart now beating faster for a different reason.

 Kyoya lets out a short exhale. “You’re currently bleeding out from a bite wound, I have to say doesn’t look good.” He grinned.

  “I’ll have to disinfect the wound. it’s going to hurt.” He placed a swab to area, causing the male to hiss and flinch away.

 “Sorry.” Kyoya quickly responds.

 “You and I both know you’re not, don’t pull that crap with me.” He  grips the counter.

 Kyoya finally finished up, wrapping the bandage snuggly around the arm.

 “Wait I just remembered… don’t have a spare uniform..” he looked towards the bloodied uniform.

 He became an acutely aware he was still shirtless. 

 “That’s why I brought an extra.” Kyoya holds up a bag. 

 “How do you get all of these spare uniforms?”

 “Do you wants answers or do you want a shirt.”

 He swipes the bag and puts on the new button up.

 “Try to not get any blood on it this time.” 

  “I can’t promise that.”

 He puts the blazer on completing the uniform.

 “You think the club has given in to Honey yet?” 

 The next day arrives, disputes were settled. Honey was back to sweets, much to Kyoyas dismay.

 He was at a table with a calculator, and a mountain of bills. 

 “It really is an addiction huh?” Y/n spoke looking at one of the bills.

  “An expensive one..” kyoya irritated mumbled.

I take Christmas REAL SERIOUSLY and if you tell me “festive dress is expected” expect and arch elf on your doorstep

The beret is upholstery velvet because it was the perfect dark green colour and I thought the stiffness would help with the shape, it did but at what cost? My fingies that was the cost, it was so harrrrrd to push through multiple layers of thick ass velvet so that’s a thing I learnt

The ears are multiple layers of latex on these hooky over your real ears elf ears, then dusted with flour (couldn’t find powder works the same) and then spirit gummed to my ears, they came out super realistic cos the seam was in the curve of my ear, I also added a couple coats of alcohol paint to tint them and also some blush, if they were any taller I’d add some cotton to keep the shape but I don’t think I needed to with these ones

I did heavy blush and gold glitter on my cheeks (if I had one I would’ve done a crème blush and added glitter while it was tacky) and some dark eyeliner and curled my hair and promptly messed up the fringe with a clip cos I didn’t want it to touch my face

The shirt is second hand and painted with glitter fabric paint straight from the bottle, I drew it on the shirt first to map it out (use a pencil or chalk) which was suuuuuuuper handy but even still I made mistakes but it’s busy enough that you don’t notice (there’s a beautiful drawing I made of the pattern it took so long to wrap my head around, I traced it on insta)

The necklace was made of the funky bell charms I painted blue and an old necklace I took apart and a bunch of gold beads, the blue paint is an iridescent nail polish with a dry brushing of silver, the tassels are made from a gold trim I cut and rolled into tassels and held in place with a couple stitches and probs some hot glue, I know I sewed em to the beads, I like to think about what’s the most structurally sound way to affix something, it helps with wear and means I don’t have any last minute breaks

Make it strong cos I know I don’t wanna be worrying that my costume is gonna fall apart if I breathe too hard, I wanna run around like a lunatic!

Learn from my mistakes, ask Le questions :)

[dissectedgrrl]

The rest are in dirty newsies-esque outfits, like old minimum wage workers, their protest signs read “Vote For Ocean!” on one side, the other in small text which reads “We Make Close To” then a really large “0”

Noels Lament

Monique Gibeau of course

Mischa is dressed in a furcoat, with his beret of course.

Ricky is dressed as a priest of course.

The rest are dressed in dirty greaser-esque streetlife outfits, they also carry bouquets cause I said so.

This Song Is Awesome

Mischa is wearing his button-up of course, but he’s in cut up jeans, air jordans ofc, and vipers.

Constance would wear a suit, an ear piece, and sunglasses.

Ocean could wear a tank top which says “STREET LIFE” and carry a boombox. really baggy pants for her.

Ricky would wear like this stereotypical nerdy school outfit which is a onesie, which gets torn off for the final verse to reveal a basketball jersey that has “23” on it. pants can be bb shorts.

Noel and Jane could dress as paparazzi, in just business casual, which can be unbuttoned into shirts that are just different rapper merch

Talia

Mischa in his shirt with a red robe, and a kinda leafy vine crown thingy. Lot of necklaces and rings for him. Only one ring on left ring finger btw.

Boys wear a black suit and tie, not much else to say.

Ladies (except jane) wear like baby pink dresses.

Jane is in a white wedding dress, with a veil over her head the entire time. shes supposed to represent talia. Also flower crown for her to match with mischa! and an engagement ring!

Space Age Bachelor Man

Ricky in a dark blue polo, and black tapered cargo pants. He should have a cape with a blue galaxy print, and should wear a visor. Prince crown given to him by jane

Jane in a princess dress (BLUE) and heels, also a princess tiara. Cat ears plus mask ofc.

Ocean and constance in blue colored armor, but not like heavy knight armor yknow? Cat ears and mask. Ocean wearing queen crown (optional) cause shes the one who asks for the galaxy to be saved.

Noel in slightly heavier blue armor. Cat ears and mask as well. King crown.

ocean and noel being king and queen is NOT a shipping thingy trust me pleaseee

Mischa in kinda what rickys wearing BUT RED!!!!! dog ears! Holds a scepter, and has a kings crown but with a prominently red jewel.

The Ballad Of Jane Doe

Not much to say, Jane gets to wear a white suit, cause a dress would not go well upside down. White heels.

Everyone else in complete black, with veils and everything, umbrellas black too, but with white lights on the top cause i thought that was cool.

Sugar Cloud

Everyone in their costume they wore for their song!!! and they dont get taken off for the rest of the show. Constance doesn’t change into anything except letting her hair free, cause yknow being urself!!! Mischa can wear his red robe in talia amongst his unbuttoned shirt, and his talia crown if he wishes.

okay okay i LOVE THIS but this gave me a few ideas

ocean would def dress to impress BUT i imagine shed wear a suit or smth ?? smth VERY professional and election-ish if that makes sense ? her hair would still be up n shed deffos have her cross necklace still (it would stay on the whole show probably)

for tsia i think for a few minutes mischa would try not to crease his jordans but he gets too into the song . . . . so sadg.

OKAY OKAY HEAR ME OUT ON TBOJD

Summary: This just in: local popstar and partners can't keep to themselves for a single car ride.

Ao3 Link | Haunted Harry series

“And now, just about to emerge from his limousine, the hottest up and coming star of the year, Haunted Harry!”

Cameras snapped, flashes on high and reflecting off of the black vehicle stopped at the end of the red carpet. The arrivals were coming to a close, but it seemed each photographer gained a second wind at the announcement, clicking their shutters quicker than before to avoid missing anything.

Haunted Harry was a bit of a music enigma—no one had seen him out of costume, no one could record his voice without some sort of terrible feedback. Hell, no one had even managed to get a clear picture of him. 

He didn’t try to hide from the press. Not at all. He always performed at the same cafe. It was just that all those other photographers and reporters kept having some sort of issue with their equipment, their hands weren’t steady, or both.

Many had taken it as a challenge. The director of the newest movie premier offering a public invitation to Harry simply ended up setting the stage for a competition.

The crowd quieted a bit more behind the press as the driver’s side door opened.

The chauffeur—a blue haired woman in a dashing black suit, chauffeur’s hat, and driving gloves—exited the limo and walked around to the backdoor and opened it.

Three teenagers immediately spilled out, with two unknown teens on top of Harry who was laid out on the seat. 

The girl was wearing a black and purple dress, her hair was open and partially a mess, with flyaway strands sticking up everywhere and one caught between her matte black lips. Her knee was resting high up between Harry’s legs.

The boy was wearing a dark green suit with a yellow undershirt, the top two buttons undone. He was also sporting a red beret—though it looked like it might fall any moment—and what seemed to be black cherry lipstick. He had one hand on Harry’s chest and one on his cheek.

Haunted Harry himself was wearing his usual costume and covered in black and dark red lipstick marks. Parts of his face were also glowing a bright green.

The teens blinked at the crowd.

The crowd blinked back.

Slowly, the popstar reached up and pulled the door shut.
