𝟜𝟚! 𝕄𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕤: Pastel Goth

On earth 42 it’s constantly dark, so pastel fashion isn’t a common sight. Meaning for once, you’ve surprised him.

Whether or not you let him he will find a way to draw you. It could be a page dedicated to you in a sketchbook, with drawings and pictures. Or even graffiting you on the side of a building so everyone will see it. (Not worried about danger, they won’t be able to lay a hand on you.)

When something new steals your attention Miles will be on it instantly. And when the prowler wants something he gets it, so it’s guaranteed it’ll be in your hands by the end of the day.

If you have a pair of platforms (No matter the height,) he will wear them for a quick walk. You’d be surprised how well he can move in them, you’re pretty sure he ran through the city in them.

Ever so often when your back is turned he will steal a few pictures, all going into an album dedicated to you. Not that anyone will see them. (Aaron and Rio have caught him multiple times.)

His clothing is a lot darker, less goth but still similar vibes. On occasions he will just… throw a piece of his clothing at you. If you’re cold, his jacket is suddenly on your shoulders. A piece of clothing is missing? Not anymore, this is in its place.

If you are interested enough in ‘The Prowler,’ he might be willing to have another gauntlet made for you. Less dangerous of course but with your own personal touches, favourite colours and any other small detail will be added.

If you have similar size in clothing we will take something, not telling you either, letting you find out what he took. But if not, your accessories will do. Mainly jewllery so he has something of yours with him.

When he has a chance he will ‘play’ with your hair. Either doing elaborate styles or messing it up, ruffling it just before you shove him away. But won’t let you do his. (Yet, is worried you’ll want revenge.)

But if there are days you either can’t or don’t feel like making an outfit he is always ready. As soon as you say yes he suddenly becomes a fashion designer, laying clothes next to each other to test things, adding and taking accessories. Not stopping until he gets the perfect one.

𝟙𝟞𝟙𝟘! 𝕄𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕤 𝕄𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕤: Decora

He will compare you to his graffiti, (He means it in the nicest way possible.) and about how he loves both of you and how colourful you are.

At any chance given he will have his sketchbook whipped out, sketching away. And they end up as either a page (or a few) dedicated to you or as future graffiti artworks.

If you want anything whether it’s clothing or accessories he won’t let you pay, his money is already handed over. At some point you bought something on your own and he looked so betrayed. (He didn’t want you to spend your own money now that you have him.)

If you include those colourful band aids he gets so worried. He’s scared that you got hurt and he couldn’t protect you. (Please tell him they’re for design, he will be so worried.) But once he is told he is buying you band aids as well. Whether or not they match he is buying you spiderman ones.

Please let him help choose some accessories, he would be so happy. He knows you wear so many but even a small handful would be amazing! (If you have any red and/or black ones he will choose them. Although trying to fit them in.)

If there is a day where neither of you have money or the energy to go out for a new outfit he will make you one. (I believe he knows how to sew.) Just pick a pattern, a few colours and materials and let him work. It would be one of the most magical items.

Unlike 42! Miles this one can not walk in them, let alone stand. It could be a few extra inches of height and even his spiderman powers could not save him from tumbling headfirst. If he tries to walk you better be ready to help.

On days where he has no schoolwork or spiderman duties he’s taking you to a new cafe or market. (Somewhere new each time.) If he can see you happy, whether it is a new accessory, some food or just seeing you happy.

This dude is so obvious. He will try to sneakily take photos but will end up in your face for the right angle. But in the end he does get his wanted pictures. (Which he sends to the group chat of him, Gwen, Pav and Hobie. Who complain about him and his pictures.) 

Both of your fashion choices clash. How bright and full on yours is compared to his basic and darker colours. But if you get cold, then them clashing doesn’t matter, he will wrap you in his jacket before you know it.

𝔾𝕨𝕖𝕟 𝕊𝕥𝕒��𝕪: Fairy Kei

Assuming you have a sketchbook she will look through it, (With permission this time, she has learned.) and fawn over everything in it.

If she finds out you press flowers she will bring you any she finds, most of the time she doesn’t know which ones they are. She might ask you to press them so she can frame and hang them in her room.

Whether or not you enjoy many things, if there is something she thinks you will like, it is suddenly in your room.

She will find any type of jewllery you wear and (with your permission,) swap a few bits around. A dark necklace with a flower filled pendant has been swapped with one of Gwen’s, gold with small blue gemstones.

When she is on a mission on another earth she will try to find any clothing or books you would enjoy, spending more than needed time on the earth searching through thrift stores for you.

There will be times where neither of you want to leave the comfort of her room. This ends with Gwen playing her drums while you do whatever you want.

In times where you were learning a new language she would try to learn along with you, but everytime she tried it didn’t end well. Always giving up within the first week, but it’s the thought that counts right?

She could spend up to days trying to write the most perfect love letter for you, only for it to end up in her drums so you, hopefully don’t find it. (Spoilers, you did.)

If you are interested in history, either all over or specific times she will bring you to other earths that revolve around them. (As long as it’s safe.)

If you have a drink each morning, she will find out the recipe and when you are away try to perfect her drink making skills. Even managing to surprise you one morning, having the drink made and sitting on the counter for you.

ℍ𝕠𝕓𝕚𝕖 𝔹𝕣𝕠𝕨𝕟: Cybergoth

Hobie is probably the most on board with your fashion, whether it's something you wear daily or only on occasions.

If you give him the opportunity he will add his own touches to your outfits, even your dread falls if you say yes.

Whether or not you say so he will 'borrow' any accessories he likes, flaunting them to *anyone who will look. *This includes everyone.* A good chunk of your fashion is similar to his, so every once in a while he will just… switch them.

If you go to any raves or anything similar he will join you if possible. (Always sneaking you both in.)

He will tease you when you ask him to wear something, but do it long enough and he will cave. Anything you want he will wear it, accessories to full outfits. (Not dread falls, he values his hair.)

If you ever want some new accessories or even an outfit he is your man. He will openly 'buy' (Steal) anything for you. Does it without you somehow knowing, realizing when they are sitting on your desk, along with a note from him.

Whether or not you wear makeup he will help you, but if you do? He is there for every step you do, wanting to get it right so he can help in the future. And when he does? You aren’t doing anything anymore, he is in charge of doing it every day now.

Because he is Spider-Punk and part of the spider society he is often busy doing things away from you. This means he has found other ways to bring you with him, in jewellry (that he stole from you.) or even pictures tucked into pockets. Will show them off to anyone nearby (main targets are Pavitr, Gwen or Miles.)

100% Has and will continue to make songs dedicated to you. Whether they are obvious or not he will know, and most of the time you do too. They can vary from yourself, your looks and fashion to him confessing his undying love for you. (Of course he'll make it so confusing so no one will ever realize.)

Soon enough Hobie will fall in love with your fashion style, and how it makes a statement easily. And what better way to make a statement is with bright and surprisingly comfortable clothing. Often enough you will catch him with matching pieces of clothing, he says they’re comfortable and that’s the only reason but you know, he wants to match.

Punkflower fans

Ya'll I love how we all think alike.

Like the fact we all agree Hobie would be into sewing, knitting or crocheting as his personal hobby. Is just MWAH! Chef's kiss! Because it's the most anti- capitalist hobbies to have. He believes in making clothes than buying fast fashion! Or anything he knows he could make to save a buck!

I bet you, he'll be so quick to make a sweater or mittens.

Hobie: Oh you need a sweater -Quickly knits one- Here, bruv! -tosses at Pav.-

Hobie: Oh you need a new bag? -Crochet a shoulder bag for Miles- Here you go, luv! -Tossing at his boyfriend-

Hobie: Oh you need a stitch on your shirt, here! -Brings out his sewing machine to close a ripped hole from Gwen's shirt- Here you go, mate! -He tosses the shirt at Gwen's face- REUSE! REPEAT! Don't buy fast fashion, mates! Make your own wear! -He flaunts his own patched up pants and ripped crop top that was Miles' old shirt-

All three of them: Wow, Hobie! That's so cool! -clapping and admiring his skill as he poses his new outfit-

Miguel on the side sewing a dress for Gabriella: Pfft, amateurs.

Gabriella pops up: Papá, you got my dress ready!

Miguel: Of course, mi vida -showing off a beautiful sparkling dress with his own skills-

🕸🎸 Even more Little!Miles Headcanons feat Hobie, Gwen, and Peter 🎸🕸

- Miles is very nervous about coming out to his friends. He doesn't want them to think differently of him or treat him like a little kid, but he still wants them to know so he doesn't have to hide it from them and because they're some of his closest friends, he thinks that they deserve to know

- Hobie helps him to tell Gwen and Peter

- Even though Miles wants to tell them, he still puts it off for a few weeks. He wants to be prepared for the worst case scenario, which he doesn't want to think about but wants to be ready anyway

- It doesn't go exactly to plan, of course. He's still Spider-Man and plans don't go off without a hitch for Spider-Man

- Miles had intended to invite them over for a movie and tell them then but Pav needs help in his dimension and by the time they all make it back, Miles is exhausted and halfway regressed

- Hobie notices of course and tries to help him stay big(not out of malice or shame but because Miles wanted to be big for this and he wants to help) but Miles only slips further in his frustration

- He ends up hiding under Hobie's battle vest in shame while Hobie tries to explain it away as Miles being tired

- Finally Miles tells the others when the won't leave it alone and keep pestering him to figure out what's wrong

- Gwen and Peter are initially shocked, but Pavitr is immediately understanding and even though he doesn't know anything about regression he's eager to learn

- Peter is pretty laid back about it as well. He likens it to acting like Mayday and makes it clear that if Miles needs to be looked after and Hobie isn't available, that Peter is more than willing to help for an afternoon

- Gwen takes the longest to fully wrap her head around it. Not in a bad way, she's just confused and unsure about boundaries and what it'll mean for them as friends

- She does say she's supportive about it and she plans on doing her own research to better help her friend

- Hobie later rewards Miles for being so brave by bringing him a new stuffie that he's been sewing out of scraps of old clothes

- It quickly becomes Miles' favorite stuffie

- Peter brings Miles a new stuffie as well, this one is just a teddy bear in a Spider-Man outfit, and a proper sippy cup with a spill-proof lid

- Gwen isn't sure what to do for Miles so she gets him coloring books and crayons

- Miles gets nervous that he won't be able to hide his gear as well. He loves his gifts but how will he explain the coloring books and toddler sippy cup to his parents if they find out?

- Peter suggests insisting they're for Mayday, at least until Miles is comfortable telling his parents about his regression

- Gwen finally sorts out her emotions and brings Miles a new custom red and black paci with a spider charm and spider web decals as an apology and to show that she's ready to be there for him

- Miles loves it and uses it the next time he regresses, which gets a chuckle out of Hobie

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

One of my big Hobie headcanons is that he sews and loves doing it. It helps relax him and he's the go to when spider suits get damaged.

"Yeah, tha's polyester an' lycra mate, that's a big ahsk...I'll have it done in a week."

I love this!! I could imagine Gwen being genuinely surprised when she sees Hobie working a buster Singer sewing machine better than he works his own guitar

He probably sews EVERYTHING. He's walking with someone on the street and they point out an outfit in a store window - just like he told Miles, he's like 'Make it yourself??'

And he'll even offer to do it

Hobie buying second-hand bed sheets and curtains to cut up and use for fabric. Turning old band shirts into quilts and blankets for the homeless

Him sewing Gwen gender affirming clothes!!! I could imagine Hobie sewing all the time

Hobie can DRESS, like I genuinely feel like he doesnt just throw on anything, he's making fits cause he knows hes hot and liking yourself is okay

So I imagine him making cool clothes for himself that cost nothing, good for the environment and look great.

I mean he had to become a model somehow!!!!!

[moralesmilesanhour]

random spiderverse headcanons !! (I'm bored):

Hobie definitely uses more product in his hair than Pavitr, idk WHAT some of you are on about 😭 that is a Black man with wicks

He makes his own products most likely or just steals shit

Speaking of. I'd like to think that Hobie does most shit on his own if he can't get it via bartering or something. Bro is EXCELLENT with a sewing machine

Because in his dimension it's still 1978 he knows fuck-all about social media. The only app on his phone is whatsapp and he'd like to keep it that way

The other spider kids have to explain memes to him

I don't have too many thoughts about Gwen but I hc her as a transfem lesbian/sapphic. I mean who doesn't atp look at her 😭

I've been told that ppl hc Pavitr as being half Keralite (I hope that spelling is correct). So I have also adopted that hc

Pavitr stay with a skincare mask on even though his skin is clear. He likes the texture when you first put it on before it dries

He will remember everything everyone has ever said to him but can't locate the hairbrush he put down five seconds ago (it's in his hand)

Hobie can take two songs from damn near opposing genres and create the perfect transition between them when he's djing. No one knows how he does it (autism)

He and Miles bond over sending each other new music

Hobie owns physical versions of everything. He will pirate music and burn it onto a CD if he has to

Speaking of Miles. That kid is soooo normal about music he will break down every single layer and ad-lib of every song he hears

Very annoying about different headphones and their sound quality

As the movie implies. Margo enjoys switching up her hair and outfits

Considers changing her entire wardrobe when she's bored

Insane at coding websites

Has an unhealthy amount of mobile games on her phone

Plays extremely niche video games that she tells no one about

Eerily good at Overwatch

That's it 😭 uhh nothing more to say here if you have anything to add on feel free to leave it in the tags or replies!

[gwen-lycaon]

Phantom Creek AU

Gwendolyn Lycaon-Cavill | 25| Seamstress| Widow

Gwen was the youngest child of the Lycaon Family. She has always been the most connected with her eldest brother Caleb. When he decided to move into the mountains at 18, it had crushed the youngest sibling. She'd always hoped that he would one day change his mind and return to civilization but after several years she reluctantly accepted her brother's wishes. She still visits him often, ensuring that he has the necessary supplies to survive out there.

The Lycaon and Cavill family have been friends for generations, one would say almost like family. So it was no surprise that when Gwen came of age, Samuel, the youngest son had proposed. Gwen had always had a childlike crush on Augustine, the eldest, but she figured it was time to let go of her childhood fantasies and agreed to marry Sam.

Gwen had followed in her mother's footsteps and became a seamstress. She was able to get jobs in town here and there while she raised her children, such as sewing and repairing outfits for the brothel in town. Her husband never approved of her work, but Gwen insisted on holding onto what independence she still had left.

Samuel died in a mining accident about a year ago, leaving Gwen and their two young sons, Henry (7) and Liam (5), to manage on their own. Gwen had been able to get by for a few months on savings and her job as a seamstress, but money grew tight. In another string of bad luck, a recent storm caused severe damage to their family home- repairs that Gwen could not afford.

Gwen and the boys moved in with Auggie, much to her protests and stubbornness. Now that they were in such close proximity, her childhood crush had started to reappear, along with increased anger and grief. This anger was only fueled by the rumors circulating around town and Auggie's proposal for marriage. Fearing it is out of pity or convenience, she continues to decline, despite them growing closer with each day.

The recent murders have the youngest Lycaon in a state of irritability and fear, for the safety of her family as well as Auggies. She's constantly suspicious of those she encounters, and grows more irritable each day and the many uncertainties in her life at the moment.

[im-doing-good]

Hello! Sorry for bothering you but I wonder if you ever read/watch Card Captor Sakura, where the main endgame couple - Syaoran (Xiaolang) Li and Sakura Kinomoto - ends together is for me like Gwen x Frederick romantic relationship in both of look and love story. Gwen with her hibby of sewing could get a nice outfit (including magical girl dress if she like) and Frederick - Syaoran's outfit espc the battle outfit is 🟢green like the all of the color theme of Frederick. In nutshell, if you ever wonder what's Gwen and Frederick looks if they wear Sakura and Syaoran battle outfit? Thank you!!! Sorry for trouble

Sorry, but I haven't read the series before. I took a look at their battle outfit designs and they're pretty cute I could totally see them wearing it. I don't know if I'll have time to read it since finals are coming up(I'm in high school btw). When I make time, would you recommend reading the manga or watching the anime first?

Note: I might say that I'm going to read/watch it but there is a 50% chance I'm actually going to

[oh-shinx]

I have decided to put aside making Javert a bow tie for now, but I instead have instead been talking to Gwen about some things and she said she would be really happy to have an outfit made by me!!!!!! It isn't really necessary seeing as ghosts can apparently just manifest clothes, but it should be fun!!!!!!

Anyway I've spent an hour being indecisive to a point I cracked open my sketchbook to give it a shot. Any feedback?

I cannot decide if I want to make the hat or not, but it is an accessory that can be removed, so it doesn't matter too much. I also went with something simple in design as I am a bit out of practice in sewing

[transgwender]

You mentioned a handmade Gwen costume in one of your posts, do you know any good tutorials?

Actually yeah!!! It wasnt an exact tutorial for Gwen, I had to figure out the shoes and mask myself, which that was a whole process that I could probably detail if someone asks (i also used a tutorial for the mask), but for the outfit I had some help from a bodysuit tutorial!

The example in this one was for zero suit samus but I just followed the steps and designed it for the Spider-Gwen design I wanted to do! Mainly making the plain bodysuit design and then drawing my design on to it. That step was so useful.

I actually had my friends help me do it one late night. So much easier. They just used a blue washout pen. That you can see in the photos.

(I also had a purple air erased pen and had them just draw whatever the fuck they wanted to draw on me after we were done this, just for fun :3. i had like 8 people drawing on me at one point. you can kinda see it in the photo ahah. but its mostly the blue you can see)

Then after that, followed the steps of the guide and cut out the bodysuit and made new patterns with the segments

Then I just went from there! Sewed it all together. Since the pieces were complex, the edges needed to be exact in terms of extra (its late i forget the word for it) fabric so that it still comes together nicely. But yeah! Several hours later of very very tough sewing and I made my completed costume (which can be found in the reblog of that original post).

Hope this helps! The trick with cosplay is to just break it down into smaller segments, as well as patience and practice. Best of luck!

[sturid]

ok y’all know that spider oc I made a while ago? I edited him a bit (a lot) and decided to post it so here it is (I cannot draw so it’s just a description)

Name: Adler Lee

Nationality: Australian

Hero name: Agent Spider

Age:28

How long has he been spider-man? 13 years

Dimension: Earth-8121

Friends: Hobie, Spider Noir, Peter B, Jess (kinda), Gwen, Pav and pretty much the rest of the main cast.

Enjoys: Cooking, writing, photography, boxing, watching movies, reading, video production and sewing

Normal job: Film crew and part time bartender

Fun facts he has SPD (sensory processing disorder) and sometimes is out wearing headphones and sunglasses. He also might suddenly shut down due to it. 

He also has dyspraxia but he learned how to do things in a way where he won’t get killed while being spider-man (the spider senses helped him a lot)

Another fun fact he can play the guitar and saxophone 

Uranic (only attracted to men/masc presenting non binary people) and ftm trans.

Normal outfit:

Black loose fitting shorts with big pockets. (tight at waist, loose everywhere else. Looks like a trapezoid)

A thin green-brown checkered button down

maybe a white shirt under if he’s feeling sophisticated

all white baseball cap (backwards always)

dirty old converse

a bandaid on his nose and on his cheek (somehow always getting cuts there)

those 3d glasses from the movie theater (he loves them)

headphones around neck

Spider suit:

White to dark purple fade

hood

white lines all over

purple lines on the hood

triangle patters at the legs

sleeveless

blue gloves

tinted eyeholes for SPD

microphones so he can hear better (helping for dyspraxia)

physical description:

poofy light brown hair

brown skin

prosthetic left arm (i’ll get into it later

green eyes

buff

6 foot 4

thick accent (he also swears a lot and uses a bunch of Australian slang)

prosthetic arm

Good traits:

confident

respectful

Charming (ish)

easygoing

realist

stable

funny

witty

bold

flexible

cool older brother energy

neutral qualities

impulsive

stubborn

SWEARING :0

carefree

somewhat secretive 

all over the place

messy

sneaky

bad qualities:

brutally honest

overly sarcastic

VERY blunt

harsh (if he doesn’t like you)

Protective

unpredictable 

cunning when he wants to be

unruly 

careless

habits

always rubbing shirt

cracks knuckles when nervous

rocks himself from side to side or back and forth

cannot sit right at all

somehow has everything that everyone needs like you need pads? dude has some of all sizes as well as tampons. Water? BOOM. Cold water bottles. he’s magical

never remembers whatever people say

yet he somehow remembers people’s habits and schedules 

speaking of schedules he never follows one unless he feels like it or it’s his normal job 

other things:

(plot hole) he either lost his right arm due to having Phocomelia syndrome which made his arm completely disappear at birth or he lost his arm while getting slammed into a building by a villain idk which yet

He’s on the olympic team for boxing and he got a few gold medals before 

His canon event was his sweet Italian next door neighbor who was basically a father figure to him.

His parents were kinda trash if we’re being honest and were the reason he swears so much (learnt habit from them)

His dad was always away and hardly came home and his mother was an alcoholic, and when his dad came home (for once) they would always argue

He would usually run away to said neighbor that died because they were very comforting and cared for him.

Goes into big brother mode whenever someone younger than him gets hurt because he also had a younger brother that

Gives everyone the most random nicknames

Bro is still shocked about being bit cause DUDE LIVES IN THE AUSTRALIAN VERSION OF NEW YORK. THERE ARE SPIDERS EVERYWHERE. he wasn’t prepared

he lives in a small apartment building with 2 cats that he loves very dearly. There are plants and candles everywhere almost looks like a wild jungle. 

he gives out keys to his apartment to other spider people if they need a place to stay

somehow a god at cooking

idk what it is but i have a feeling that if he died he would die from trying to protect jayden/cory or another spider person he cares about a lot from the spot

he prepares for everything when it comes to people visiting so he has a bunch of stim toys for people who need them 

he knows how to copy people’s personalities surprisingly well like if he doesn’t like u because you’re cocky or something he’ll act the same way to get on your nerves because he’s petty 

his universes art style is similar to super smash bros and if he was introduced to the movie it would be similar to “Agent Spider joins the party!” 

bro would probably have a crush on someone in the main group like noir or something but  adler would most likely die/get extremely injured before a confession

Hana thoughts on Piraticus + Gwen?

Her first thoughts of Piraticus would be, "Pirates in a school!?". She would find it so cool but yea she be a little afraid at first before checking it out! pfpfppf

She would think Conrad is a really cool!! She would think his hair is pretty!! qwqwqwq She would ask him some questions about what is it like being a pirate? She be so interested if he is okay with sharing!

Tink! She would think he is pretty!! His wings too!! She's never seen anyone with wings around NRC so this was new! However she would be afraid of his pranks (like some kid she knows *looks to ace*)! She hopes to get along with him, right?

With Krok, she would find him interesting! Ye she be kind of scared bc of his big appetite >>; But if he were nice with her, she be cool with him!!

Gwen and her are definitely besties!! She would not mind to her talk a lot!! She would love to hear her interests!! She sews?! Omg she would love to see what she can make!! If it's clothes she would wear to support!! Matching lolita outfits? YES!!!

[eve6262]

gwen is lost

Everyone has somewhere to go.

Senna and Lucian hunt Thresh, Vayne joining them. Olaf returns to the Freljord, Pyke to his waters and Graves to the port, Rengar to his jungle- Riven and Irelia both to Ionia, surprisingly. Akshan prefers the desert air, and thus starts trying to repair the sentinel bases starting with Shurima, but Gwen?

Gwen has nowhere to go. Nowhere she was, really, aside from looking around fruitlessly in the black mist for Viego. Now that he’s gone, she has nothing left but a bit of joy and the faint memory of, in a last moment, seeing Isolde once more as a spirit. She could help them with the hunt for Thresh, but she fears she would only be another soul for him to capture.

She has no way to fight a man that powerful. Senna, Lucian, Vayne, they’re all experienced hunters. But Gwen only knows how to fight very vaguely, and snips and slashes are her forte, not tracking and traps and the like. On this very journey it’s been proven, from the mistakes she’s made and the assumptions that have been so very wrong.

The memory of fear still strikes deep into her heart.

She decides, eventually, to simply see the world for herself. Pick a spot, and start there, and simply go places, experience the world however she pleases. Eventually, she’ll find somewhere that needs a seamstress of her exceptional talent, and then she’ll finally have a home.

She hopes.

Piltover is the place she starts in, because their shops are simply wonderful and that parasol looked absolutely gorgeous when she wasn’t concentrated on its status as a fetter. Upon arrival she sees some remnants of the mist, surely, but largely the streets are still there. Aristocrats look worriedly around as they take the corner, scared another drop of mist is going to take over the city again. Their children are less frightened, until one of them spots the darling doll with giant scissors and rushes behind their mother.

“What is it- oh my! You’re- you have it!”

“Have what, Miss?”

“The- the mist! The Black Mist!”

“Oh, not at all! This is the Hallowed Mist- very different, I assure you.”

Nonetheless the woman looks like she’s about to faint, and there’s a large commotion from the people around her. A hextech-colored voice cuts through the panic.

“What is this, now?”

The crowd immediately quiets, and silently parts for a woman with grey hair and a loose blouse that does nothing to conceal the metal body she’s got below the neck, complete with two blades for legs. They remind distinctly of scissors when she walks, back and forth like they could cut so easily through fabric.

“What sharp blades! You must tell me how you don’t end up cutting everything you wear.”

“I don’t wear anything that they could cut.” Her eyes narrow. “Who are you?”

“I am Gwen.”

“Last name?”

“Don’t have one.”

“Don’t tell me, then. I’ll find out.”

“If you do find one, please tell me! I’m terribly curious.”

“What are you?”

“A doll! Or a seamstress. Which one were you asking about?”

“Not human?”

“I don’t believe so, no. Unless I was turned into a human by the Hallowed Mist.”

“Hmph.” The woman tosses a lock of hair out of her face. “Come with me.”

So she does, follows the lady down the alleys and streets of Piltover. At the mere sight of her people rush to get out of her way, clearly wanting nothing to do with the woman, but Gwen is only concocting ways to make a blouse with no bottoms look fashionable. Maybe something simple, like a piece with sleeves to her elbows and a flowy bottom so it doesn’t look like it should be tucked in somewhere or ends in a strange silhouette.

Finally, they get to a towering mansion, and the lady throws up some kind of gesture Gwen doesn’t recognize. Suddenly, there’s wires shooting out from her hips, and she attaches to a wall and quickly starts to scale it.

“I suppose she wants me to follow?” She mounts her scissors and quickly follows, though she’s proven wrong when, after entering through a window, the woman turns around and is shocked by the development.

“You can fly?”

“In a way. My scissors can, and I can ride them.

“...Alright, then. Come in. I’ll make you some tea.”

“Ooh, who was that woman who Akshan said liked tea? Shadya, was it?”

The woman looks at her strangely, but continues in. “Sit,” she asks, motioning to a small table with two chairs, and so she does.

While presumably boiling water, the woman looks over to her guest appraisingly. Gwen does her best to look pretty, though she thinks her clothes already to that for her; Isolde’s final gift, she thinks. Joy, skill with a needle and thread, and a beautiful outfit to fit. Finally, she speaks.

“Do you know where you are?”

“Piltover.”

“More specifically.”

“Your home?”

“Who am I?”

“I haven’t a clue.”

“...Camille.”

“Well then, very nice to meet you, Miss Camille!”

The teapot whistles, and so the woman goes to pour it out. She balances so perfectly on the blades that make up her legs that Gwen can’t help but imagine her doing ballet, carefully slicing her way through the stage in a gorgeous dress made of material that’s suspended by magic. Oh, it would be such a sight.

Thankfully, though she can’t eat proper things, she can drink tea. It tastes like regal refinement and a little like memories- perhaps her maker liked this flavor.

After a few sips, Camille speaks again. “Well, then. You must have a story to tell.”

“I do, if you’d like to hear it!”

“Absolutely.”

And so for maybe the next hour or so Gwen recounts her journey with the sentinels, starting from when she found Lucian and Senna all the way to Veigo’s imprisonment in her impeccable sewing and with plenty of boasting about her own skills in making outfits for each and every sentinel. Even Pyke, the slippery thing, who seemed all to happy to put on the clothes when she showed them off to him, citing something about water making the threads in his clothes all thick.

She almost thinks she won’t be able to tell her about Isolde, but she manages without her voice cracking and only a few pauses. Finally, she leaves out Thresh for the most part, only explaining that the Black Mist still exists because he does.

When she stops, and looks quizzically at the woman, there’s a certain pensive look on her face. “I see,” says Camille, considering what to follow that with.

“If I may, you seem like you have quite the story as well, what with those legs! Would you tell it to me?”

She almost says something, but hesitates. Closes her mouth, then opens it again. “Alright.”

And she begins.
