1/6 of the characters I'm creating for the series I'll be starting soon "Yo, Khalil". I don't know if I want to livestream the series on Twitch or do YouTube, but basically It's about an up and coming stylist named Khalil (my OC - center with the patterned shirt) in Say Myshuno, and his chronicle to the top. I'm adding all the mods necessary for drama, because I crave it lol.
Anyway, introductions.

IDW/MTMTE fic idea,
A cultural exchange is proposed in the Council of Worlds to show a little bit of each other in good faith:
Cancer shows its deep militaristic culture in its oldest tradition: a dance competition. A no-contact sport where partners' tests constantly test each other’s skills: flexibility, speed, reaction time, strength, and coordination. A violent, vicious whirling to the rhythm that's both entertainment and discipline.
No one was surprised by Velocitronians setting up a race track in the city, but this particular style emphasizes acrobatics, flair, and efficiency as speedsters parkour through the infrastructure. This kind of race allows teams who will be judged on collaboration and creativity as many utilize immense drops to act out iconic or playful scenes. One pair had a full gamestation set up in freefall.
The Devisen showed off their food culture, which is dominated by molecular gastronomy. They enjoy playing with properties and compositions of ingredients. Thermal sense is a very popular technique among the locals.
The Eukarian tribes had settled with an art exhibition. The Scale Walkers shown off pottery with fascinating grooves and whorls with patterns of their planet. The Fur Walkers had submitted bone carvings ranging from delicate jewelry of native fauna to intricate designs recreating battles. Guests were able to interact with Cloud Walker furniture: elaborate hanging seats embedded with different textures, designs, and compartments. The Fateweavers sent beautifully woven, silky smooth fabric, each one with its own specific geometric design. The Wave Walkers' exhibit was done in a dark room where visitors watched a reconstruction of how marine life reacts to their sonata. Twinkling jellies, haunting kelp forests, the wild explosion of color from massive reefs, dancing phantomish creatures, and synchronized schools of fish.
Earth demonstrated a surrealistic fashion show based on Marissa Faireborn's observations on what Cybertronians focused on.
The Camiens had invited everyone to come enjoy a sacred rite that embraced all aspects of Solus: a widespread, drug-enhanced sex festival and revel at a monstrous bon fire.

do the members have backstory’s ? if they do what are they ?
yes they do! here's a very very quick rundown, i'm not sure if i'll do a little drabble series on their family dynamics but here's their backstories so they're out there!
Tumblr media
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ              ›             NAIRA LIESE CHRISTIANSEN.
naira is a norweigian singer and actress born to norweigian investment banker, jesper christiansen and his wife, former miss universe, dauenphen prempree on december 2, 1993. naira was raised alongside her older brother, lukas, between her parents' two native countries. though most of her schooling took place at the top private schools in oslo, naira has publicly acknowledged chiang mai, thailand as her true hometown.
hailing from a very well-off family, naira was forced to grow up quicker than most. notably, the others often voice their irritation with naira's composure as it is quite unclear what she thinks or feels at any given moment. this trait is attributed to her mother who suffered through years of racial abuse at the hands of the european media without the defense of her husband or his family.
naira's interest in music never truly took off until she was in high school. after coming across a video of apricus culture soloist allison nam in 2008, naira grew fond of the korean music industry, secretly convincing her older brother to take her to auditions while in chaing mai. after being accepted into several companies, naira decided to join gemini entertainment's trainee program in 2010, hoping later to be matched with apricus.
after training for three years, naira was the fifth member chosen for letalis' final lineup. despite being offered the leader position, naira turned it down claiming, "she wasn't ready to be tied to the group's reputation." currently, naira is a SUB VOCALIST and official VISUAL of the group, occasionally taking part in thai and norweigian-language melodramas and soap operas under her birth name.
Tumblr media
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ              ›             MELANIE BAE.
melanie is an australian singer-songwriter born in brisbane on june 12, 1994. her parents, jason and marissa, are working-class korean-australians who raised melanie and her older sister, madison, quite comfortably along the australian west coast. melanie is very close to her family who all frequently appear on her social media and are always acknowledged in her album dedications.
the two bae sisters found a love for performing quite early on with melanie following in her sister's footsteps participating in dance competitions across the country. though madison would give up dance to pursue a fashion design degree in europe after graduating from high school in 2008, melanie would continue to work towards what she planned to be a professional career in dance.
while at a mall with friends, melanie would be approached by an apricus culture talent scout who persuaded her to audition for the company in july of 2010. during her time as a trainee, melanie would be given several opportunities to stir up attention for the company's planned girl group. after being featured on a title track for soloist, lastdraw, in 2013, apricus would announce melanie as the central member of their upcoming girl group, letalis.
as the MAIN VOCALIST, LEAD DANCER, CENTER, and FACE of letalis, melanie is without a doubt the group's most popular member. finding success as a global ambassador for vivienne westwood in addition to popular appearances on korean variety shows and a stellar solo career, melanie is easily the modern face of apricus culture following allison nam's retirement in 2018.
Tumblr media
 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ              ›             YANG YEEUN.
better known by her stage name, juniper, yang yeeun is a south korean singer born in suwon on december 11, 1994 to yang dae and eom youngmi. raised alongside her brothers, hyunwoo and sanghun, the three yang siblings were encouraged to engage in creative pursuits from a young age. their mother, youngmi, specifically made sure to throw her full support behind her childrens' dreams, regardless of the strain it would often place on the family's finances.
ultimately, those financial strains would eventually lead to an episode of psychosis in juniper's father who was institutionalized in 2007. being unable to work for an extended period of time forced the family to move in with juniper's grandparents who lived just outside of seoul that same year.
the move proved to be especially tough on juniper's younger brother, sanghun, who experienced extensive bullying at his new school. despite this, sanghun would go on to audition for gemini entertainment in 2007 before being matched to apricus culture. seeing sanghun's success as a trainee prompted juniper to try her luck and audition for the company in late 2008. during the audition however, juniper proved too shy to sing and was instead chosen to debut as a model under apricus in 2011.
while she earned money modeling to help support her family, juniper would continue to receive vocal and dance lessons. following sanghun's debut as a soloist under the stage name ophion in 2011, juniper would make her way through the trainee ranks to be the final member picked for letalis' final lineup. famously, juniper claims she was chosen to join letalis on the condition that she accept the role of leader.

 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ              ›             EMIYA UENO.
better known by her stage name, emmy, emiya ueno is a japanese singer born in okayama on may 25, 1995 to kisho ueno and himeko chiura. raised as an only child, the marital strife between kisho and himeko would eventually force the parents to send emmy off to a prep boarding school in bristol, england while they endured a toxic divorce in japan. kisho would later be granted custody of a six-year-old emmy in 2001 after himeko failed to appear in court and forfeited her maternal rights.
after kisho arrived in england, he would go on to raise emmy as a single parent while working as an archeologist. emmy had an extremely happy childhood, made possible by her incredibly supportive father who made it a point to encourage emmy to dream as big as possible. kisho would go on to marry emmy's stepfather, otis matthews, in 2015. together, kisho and otis would adopt emmy's stepsiblings, sasha and travis.
emmy quickly found comfort in the spotlight after being scouted by a talent agent who managed to secure emmy a role in several west end productions as an ensemble member during her teenage years. her big break finally arrived in 2011 after being invited to debut in a short-lived j-pop girl group, x-sys. the group was active for less than a year before their company would go bankrupt. after their contracts were bought out by apricus culture, emmy would be chosen as the second member to debut in letalis.
currently, emmy is the MAIN RAPPER, MAIN DANCER, and SUB VOCALIST of the girl group. in addition to her roles in the group, emmy is an acclaimed solo rapper in japan, occasionally taking on dramatic stage roles in both japan and england.

 ‎ ‎ ┉       *       ﹙ㅤʬ              ›             SOHN NARYUN.
naryun is a south korean singer-songwriter and producer born in daegu on september 1, 1995 to famed prima ballerina min kyunghee and her husband, professional soccer player sohn namkyu. alongside her older sister, narim, and twin sister, narae, the sohn sisters were expected to follow in their mother's poised footsteps. being placed in prestigious ballet conservatories from young ages, the girls quickly proved themselves to be worthy of their mother's reputation.
despite their immense talent, naryun and narae were often subjected to demeaning comparisons where naryun was often left trailing behind her twin sister. early on, it became evident that despite naryun obvious greater affinity for the art, narae would be shown favoritism by the instructors at their conservatory and later at their company.
naryun's distaste for the favoritism shown for her sister over her and narae's general distaste for ballet in general led to a divide between the twins that would last until narae announced her decision to forefeit her position as principal dancer at the korean national ballet. following her twin sister's lead, naryun would give up her position as well in 2012 out of solidarity.
finding herself lost without direction, naryun was approached by apricus culture ceo at the time jeong karin in a bid to bring legitimacy to apricus' trainee program. naryun agreed to train, initially believing it to be a short break to allow her to gain perspective. she soon fell in love with the prospect of becoming an idol and was the third member to be announced for letalis' final lineup in 2013.
currently, naryun is the group's MAIN DANCER and LEAD VOCALIST. despite efforts to separate herself from her time as a principal dancer for the korean national ballet, naryun cannot escape the shadow of disappointment that industry snobs continue to cast upon her. regardless, she has found immense success as a producer and solo artist as well as the opening of her own pilates studio in collaboration with former apricus ceo, jeong karin in 2022.

better known by her stage name, jiseo, jaden kim is an american idol born in san diego on january 14, 1996 to siwoo kim and andrea jeong. raised as an only child, jiseo was notably incredibly shy growing up. her parents, worrying their daughter would be socially stunted by her bashfulness, would take initiative to enroll her in choir lessons hoping it would draw her out of her shell.
falling in love with being on stage, jiseo would go on to beg her parents for violin lessons, landing her a firm position on a children's orchestra by age 12. as she continued to grow out of her shell, jiseo would begin to seek the approval of older, more reckless upperclassmen. after being escorted home in a cop car after her 15th birthday, jiseo's parents decided to send her to live with her grandparents in gwangju for the summer.
while in gwangju, jiseo was exposed to k-pop by her cousins who found a way to persuade her to join them in auditioning for apricus culture in 2011. though her parents were unsure if they were ready to part with their only child, they would support the structure provided by the trainee atmosphere, hoping it would settle their daughter's learned tendencies. though it did nothing but increase her reckless decisions after finding a solid friend group through avos' ian, jiseo would be a successful trainee.
after being chosen to debut in letalis, jiseo would assume the LEAD RAPPER and SUB VOCALIST positions upon the group's debut in 2013. currently, jiseo also promotes as a solo artist under the stage name, oisa.

heri is a south korean singer, songwriter, and producer born in seoul, south korea on november 19, 1996 to choi haeun and min kyungjae. raised alongside her younger brother, junyoung, heri was always a positive, bright child.
often the smartest child in the room, heri's parents would eventually realize that her brilliant mind needed more stimulation than the books they stocked in her room. through the recommendation of a teacher, they would decide to enroll heri in acting and piano lesson, hoping she'd grow attached to one of the two to keep her busy.
landing lead roles in school plays soon proved to be too easy to 10-year-old heri who craved another challenge. after being encouraged by her drama teacher, heri found entertainment in poem writing, submitting her work to local contests anonymously. her writing soon caught the attention of hayden beom, a member of apricus culture boy group, nyx in 2009. the company later tracked down the young 13-year-old who was later invited to join the company as trainee in hopes of developing her as a singer-songwriter.
although heri was initially planned to debut as a soloist, the company decided to she would be better suited for a group environment, allowing her time to gain better confidence in the industry. as the sixth member chosen for letalis, heri is the group's LEAD VOCALIST and second VISUAL. though heri has decided to take a more understated role as a producer and songwriter under the name CARRÉ, she is the most credited member of the groups and has been acknowledged for her work outside of the group by the recording academy.

Rapper Lil' Kim Has Had A Profound Impact On Fashion Over The Years
hen Lil’ Kim made her debut with the 1996 album Hard Core, she utterly and completely changed the rap game. A protege of Notorious B.I.G., and the sole female member of his hip-hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A., Lil’ Kim, aka Kimberly Denise Jones, had a flow that was raw and gritty, with raunchy, sexually liberating lyrics that made critics clutch their pearls. Hard Core went on to become certified double platinum by the RIAA, cementing the then-22-year-old as a bona fide hip-hop god. But it wasn’t just Lil’ Kim’s lyrical prowess that set her apart from her contemporaries that came before her. Her sense of style also made her a trailblazer, solidifying her as a pop culture fashion icon.
Tumblr media
While other women rappers like Queen Latifah, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Da Brat favored more androgynous clothing, like oversize T-shirts and baggy jeans, Lil’ Kim’s outfits were ultra-feminine, bold, risqué, and revealing — as provocative and outrageous as her songs. She wore teeny-tiny bikinis, see-through silhouettes, candy-colored wigs, and equally vibrant fur coats. She also helped popularize ’90s and noughties logomania, a trend in which designer branding is made overtly obvious on one’s clothing and accessories (the antithesis to “quiet luxury”). In Kim’s case, logomania also applied to hairstyles, as she famously wore wigs with Chanel’s double “C” logo and Versace’s Greek key motif. (The move made sense for someone who frequently name-dropped designers in her lyrics). Aside from head-to-toe designer monograms, Kim has worn a sparkly catsuit made with 965,000 crystals, embellished headpieces with matching thongs, and a gray, floor-length chinchilla coat (which she modeled next to mob daughter Victoria Gotti in the video for 2003’s “Came Back for You”). The list goes on.
Tumblr media
“She was bringing something new that we hadn’t really seen before,��� says Elizabeth Way, fashion historian and associate curator at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). “For so long, female rappers had been kind of marginalized and really tried to fit in with their male counterparts, especially with their style. Lil’ Kim rejected that and embraced her femininity in both her style and her lyrics.” Marissa Pelly, stylist for the rapper Ice Spice, shares a similar sentiment, pointing out how the industry made female musicians feel like they couldn’t boldly embrace their sexuality while simultaneously being perceived as “chic” or “luxury” — as if the two concepts could not co-exist. “Now when I see female artists owning their sexuality, while also being muses for some of fashion’s most elite houses, I think of — and I thank — Lil’ Kim.”
Behind every celebrity style icon is a brilliant stylist; a wizard behind the velvet curtain, so to speak. For Lil’ Kim, it was Misa Hylton. One cannot discuss Kim’s vestiary tours de force without mentioning the industry legend by her side, who had already been masterminding looks for Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Jodeci, and her then-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs. But theirs was a match made in fashion heaven; the two women felt an immediate kinship. “I think that Kim and I were magical together and when you have that type of synergy only greatness can come forth. We were thinking outside of the box and unapologetically taking risks. People gravitate to that type of authentic and creative energy,” Hylton told Dazed in 2018.
Tumblr media
The two women set the bar high high from the beginning with a legendary look the promotional poster for Hard Core, Kim’s debut album: a leopard print bikini and a sheer, marabou-trimmed duster. The one-piece was designed by Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field, who owned a store in New York City from 1996 until 2016. It was known to be a hot shopping spot for fellow performers like Debbie Harry, Lady Gaga, and Kim’s friend and frequent collaborator Missy Elliott. Hylton and Kim frequented Field’s boutique almost daily. In the years — and decades — that followed, both the look, and Kim’s signature squatting pose, would be replicated by the likes of Teyana Taylor, Nicki Minaj, GloRilla, and countless others.
Hylton and Kim also went all out for the “Crush on You” music video, directed by Lance Rivera. Inspired by the The Wiz’s color-changing Emerald City disco dance sequence, the video featured the star in monochromatic technicolor outfits and matching wigs — and instantly catapulted her to mainstream MTV fame. “When you think of the blueprint for most female musicians’ styles today, you think the designer logos; the iced-out, statement jewelry; and different styles of wigs — that was all her,” explains stylist Estelle Aporongao. “Kim’s DNA runs through the contemporary fashion industry’s veins.”
In 1998, Kim donned a bejeweled caged headpiece and matching arm sleeves to the 1998 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, which felt like the ultimate statement. But the rapper topped herself yet again a year later when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in a purple wig and lilac-colored, sequined jumpsuit, complete with a single purple pasty that garnered an unforgettable reaction from Diana Ross. The moment would become the stuff of award show legend.
Tumblr media
That same year, Kim covered Interview magazine’s November issue wearing only a Louis Vuitton headgear and LV logos painted all over her body, a moment described as a “cultural reset” by celebrity stylist Audrey Brianne, who works with Chris Tucker and Tyler Posey. “At the time, it was a fresh idea no other star had rocked quite so boldly. If people weren’t already paying attention to Lil’ Kim by then, they were now,” she says.
Tumblr media
To be clear, Lil’ Kim was interested in fashion long before she dressed in colorful furs. “Her high school friends recounted how she would spend her allowance on clothes and had Gucci before they even knew what it was,” explains Nygel Simons, a stylist and archivist, noting that the artist also worked at Bloomingdale’s prior to rapping full time. “It really shines through when an artist genuinely loves fashion.” Nowadays, it’s not out of the ordinary for a designer to dress hip-hop artists for red carpets or sit them front row at Fashion Week, but in the 1990s, that relationship didn’t really exist. Lil’ Kim had a je ne sais quoi that both attracted and inspired designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Betsey Johnson, John Galliano, and Donatella Versace, who would dress her for her 1999 Met Gala debut.
Way long before Barbiecore would become a part of the cultural zeitgeist, Lil’ Kim sported a pink, full-length mink coat with a studded pink bra, matching hot pants, and pink snakeskin boots for the “Rock Style”-themed Met Gala. “Donatella is my girl. We’ve loved each other from the moment we first saw each other,” Kim told Vogue in 2020. “At the Met, you’re a designer’s muse, [and] she loved the fact that I have fun in her clothes.”
Tumblr media
Lil’ Kim has also walked the runway for designers including Baby Phat, The Blonds, and VFiles. But her closest friendship is with fashion designer Marc Jacobs, whom she calls her “bestie” and who has played a significant role in her life and career. Jacobs dressed Kim for her court appearances and subsequently became her prison pen pal when she served a one-year sentence for lying to protect friends involved in a 2001 shootout. Kim sent Jacobs the Bratz doll coloring pages she painted, which he then had framed and hung in his house. Jacobs is also writing the foreword for her forthcoming memoir, The Queen Bee.
Tumblr media
“These were interesting and important alliances for her during the early 2000s because it further legitimized the message to her fans and the public that her empire and reach extended well beyond music,” says stylist Alison Brooks, who works with television personality and hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness. “I believe it was a turning point, not so subtly signaling to other artists to bling themselves out in designer looks with confidence and embrace their curves with body positivity before body positivity became a thing.”
Tumblr media
When it comes to her own work, Pelly says she’s strongly influenced by Lil’ Kim. “I love how effortlessly she would combine her own fun custom pieces with luxury ones, while also demonstrating a great deal of high-end fashion knowledge.” Pelly says she had this approach in mind while styling Ice Spice for the “Barbie World” music video, pairing a custom Chanel-inspired, Christian Cowan tweed set with a Barbiecore bra by Laser Kitten, custom Emilio Pucci, and pieces from the Gaultier archives. “It’s that duality that’s so inspiring to me and creates the most interesting, well-rounded looks every time.” She also drew ideas from Kim’s 2003 “Summer Jam” performance, in which she wears SS03 Jean Paul Gaultier script belts around her waist and chest. “I love when artists love the same brands I do... I tracked down the same belts for Ice’s Paper Magazine cover back in April as a nod to the OG style icon.”
Tumblr media
It’s difficult to imagine what would have happened if Lil’ Kim hadn’t paved the way for women in hip-hop to take fashion risks. Cardi B might not have worn archival Mugler to the 2019 Grammy Awards, and who knows if Megan Thee Stallion would have modeled for Calvin Klein. Then there’s the countless Kim homages artists have paid over the years: Beyoncé replicated several of Kim’s famous looks for Halloween 2017; Rihanna has cited the rapper’s penchant for experimenting with different looks as a major influence on her own fashion sense; and Miley Cyrus dressed in Kim’s MTV VMAs look for Halloween back in 2013, purple pasty and all. It’s for reasons like these that stylists like Simons believe Lil’ Kim deserves official acknowledgement for her legacy, particularly from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. (For years, fans have been calling on the CFDA to honor Kim with its annual Fashion Icon award.)
Tumblr media
One thing’s for sure: You’d be hard-pressed to find another hip-hop fashion icon with the same enduring legacy. “Lil’ Kim is the blueprint,” says Simons. “Whenever you think you’re being presented with something new, if you search hard enough, you’ll find that Kim has already done it at some point.”

Gilmore Girls is a sweet, drama filled series set in the small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Based on a mother, Lorelai, and her daughter, Rory, the two of them face life's challenges together. Rory wears many iconic looks throughout the show that exemplify her intelligent and kind personality. Throughout the course of Rory's life, her style remained under the same structure of classy, timeless looks but as she got older she found a more sophisticated appearance. Let's take a closer look at how her wardrobe has changed along the way.
Tumblr media
In season one, Rory starts school at Chilton, a prestigious private school, where she wears a school uniform. This uniform is an iconic outfit that sets the tone for her style in future seasons. It feels realistic, resembling what real-life students might wear, which likely helped viewers feel more connected to the show. The uniform has a classy, preppy vibe while also being modest, which mirrors Rory’s personal style even outside of school.

Throughout the series, Rory embraces all the fall essentials, with sweaters being a standout! We see her in all types, from turtlenecks to oversized styles and quirky patterned designs. While her style remains consistent overall, by seasons four and five, she elevates her sweater game, incorporating more sophisticated and stylish choices that reflect her growing maturity.

In the final seasons of Gilmore Girls, Rory's style evolves into a more elevated version of her signature look. Now grown up and attending Yale, she still embraces her classic fall wardrobe with rich autumn colors but adds more skirts, dresses, blazers, and trench coats to her outfits. These pieces give her a polished, sophisticated edge while maintaining the timeless, preppy feel she’s always had.

wait, is that KITTY WILDE? they kinda look a lot like SYDNEY SWEENEY, don’t they? i heard the TWENTY-ONE year old is known as the SOCIALITE around mckinley. it seems like they auditioned to be in THE TROUBLEONES which is so lame? people at campus have said they’re BEAUTIFUL, but don’t be fooled since they’re also CRUEL. rumor has it, you can find them at CHEERIOS AND CELIBACY CLUB when they aren’t belting show tunes. their entire vibe revolves around AN IMMACULATE SOCIAL MEDIA FEED, ICE-COLD EYES THAT CAN FIND AND EXPLOIT YOUR WEAKNESSES WITHIN SECONDS, THE PERFECT CHERRY RED LIP GLOSS but no one pays attention to that here in ohio.
HEADCANONS
All of Kitty’s life has revolved around being perfect. Her father was an extremely successful entrepreneur, and her mother was your typical trophy wife, so Kitty was expected to be the immaculate trophy daughter. She largely took it in her stride, and her mixture of familial wealth, inherited ruthlessness, and the most devastatingly beautiful face her small town had ever seen was the perfect concoction to be mutually adored and feared throughout her adolescence.
(Sexual assault TW) When Kitty was eleven years old, she was assaulted at a sleepover by her friend’s older brother. Being generally maladapted to deal with her own emotions, as well as wrestling with a lifetime of religious shame, Kitty never breathed a word of it to anyone, choosing instead to pretend that it hadn’t happened and enacting her indirect revenge on her abuser’s sister. She tells herself that it’s fine and that she’s moved on, but the truth is that she’s never been further than a chaste makeout session, and it’s not because of the cross she wears around her neck as armour.
Despite this, Kitty has a reputation, and not one that most people would be happy with. It doesn’t bother her though, and she’s never found herself in a situation feeling pressured to engage in any activities she wasn’t enthusiastic about- not that any guy who valued his face remaining intact would ever try to pressure her. She’s never attempted actual dating; her romantic involvements have been sporadic and commitment-free, despite some genuinely trying otherwise. Any desire for a relationship is spurred on by her image than any genuine feelings.
The need to be perfect still permeates Kitty’s entire existence- at least, that is, the need to appear perfect. She wakes up at 5 am every morning to complete her 18-step skincare, haircare, and makeup routine as well as squeeze in an hour at the gym before class. Her flawless GPA has never wavered for a moment, despite a manicured Instagram feed that shows her at every party within a 20 mile radius of Lima, occasionally also taking private flights to LA and New York for more exclusive events. Kitty’s life is the stuff of legends, but you’d be hard-pressed to hear her describe herself as ‘happy’.
BASICS
full name: christina “kitty” elyse wilde pronouns: she/her nicknames: k hometown: sun valley, idaho birthday & age: october 7th / 21 years old relationship status: single sexuality: straight, but not narrow occupation: student at mckinley arts college sports/clubs: cheerio, celibacy club glee club: the troubletones major: fashion design
CONNECTIONS
hunter clarington: turns out you can't have the most insane hots and sexual tension with someone like that without eventually catching feelings. kitty's never been very good at being a girlfriend but for hunter? she's damn sure gonna try.
quinn fabray: the candle on kitty's altar bears the holy image of quinn fabray.
marissa gardner: kitty tortured her in high school. still does every now and then.
kurt hummel: the most unlikely pair at mckinley, but he's one of the few people in her design classes that don't make her want to scream
dottie kazatori: kitty’s charity case, but she’d be lying if she said she felt total disdain for the girl.
ryder lynn: you know when you break up with a situationship because he chose a catfish but then six months later you trauma bond and are now friends?
madison mccarthy: madison's most common reaction from kitty is an eye roll but what kitty would never admit is that they're friends.
sugar motta: sugar cheered her on while she poured sand over aaron tomson's head in kindergarten. they've been joined at the hip ever since.
sebastian smythe: friends, but if you ever see a knife in kitty’s back, check sebastian’s kitchen drawer first.
jeff sterling: when kitty joined sterling silver she’d hoped for a slightly more chilled-out frontman.
open to any other ideas for connections!

seeing that family tree, i just need to know ALL about Eris' side of the family!
tell us as much as you can about her parents, her step-dad, her half-sister and her grandparents, please! \o/
literally kissing you for letting me talk about them!! I'm so grateful !! finna cry!! Thank you rahh!! I wanted to draw them all again, but I'm too tired with the webtoon (the next episode has 47 panels so that's a lot), so I'll just use the portraits I did of them!
Let's start with the OG!!! Grandpa!!
Tumblr media
For fun I made a grandpa design before, and then got the idea to eventually do a prequel story for him! I don't know if I'll ever do it, so I guess I can talk about it here!
Tumblr media
Grandpa doesn't have a canon name, but he lived in Pelican Town since he was born. He was the son of a doctor, and his childhood friend is Evelyn. After George moved to the valley, they become besties!! The old farmer in town is somewhat secluded, and has no family, but Evelyn happened to sometimes bring him food and take care of him, so one day Grandpa joins her. He decides he doesn't want to take on his fathers' legacy, and instead buy the farm from the old man. So int his story, the farm has only been in Eris family since grandpa, and well then kinda died with him until Eris comes to the valley. He has a younger sister, who may or may not take over the clinic instead (even if their father was against it at first, since they are v old-fashioned,,)
You can find some designs of other younger versions of npc here!!
Tumblr media
Grandpa has one son! I don't think I'll give him any siblings, but yippie Elias! He looks a lot like Eris, and it's on purpose for Eris to strongly take after him instead of her mother.
Tumblr media
He used to be a troubled youth, who, like his own father, didn't want to take on his fathers' legacy. So it's kind of a repeating cycle? He moved to the city v early on, didn't like living out in the valley. Maybe he's a bit like Sebastian in that sense? He mellows out a lot though and is a very gentle man. He and Ingrid/Eris Mom are both very laid back when it comes to raising their kids too. Mostly too busy with work, but it gives both girls an easy lifestyle!
Tumblr media
With Ingrid, I happened to somehow mirror Robins story in a way, even though a lot less dark (at least in my version of Robins story)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ingrid also had her first child very early on in life, somewhere in her early 20's. I'm still not sure if she necessarily got married to Marissa's/her first daughter's father, but they separated pretty quickly and their custody battle went fine? Marissa isn't very close to her father, but they aren't necessarily on bad terms. Ingrid is very independent, and is the main bread winner. She's also 4 years older than Elias and taller than him. (She still wears heels around him, though.)
Tumblr media
Marissa is 8 years older than Eris, but they are semi-close! She's not very good at showing her feelings, but she cares a lot for her sister in her own way. When they were younger, and their parents often weren't home, Marissa took Eris to restaurants, so they could have dinner together. So she also helped raise Eris a lot.
Tumblr media
She also often did Eris hair and picks her clothes! She might be so famous at this point, that she might appear in my webtoon soon, he-he! Marissa is like her mother, very independent and focused on her goals. She also has a very sharp tongue, in the sense that she says what she thinks.
Tumblr media
And that's everyone, I think!! Thank you again for letting me talk about them that means so much to me rahh!!!

PHOTOSHOOT: MARINA FOR INTERVIEW
Welcome to a retrospective journey to March 2015, a moment in time whenMarina Diamandis graced the lens of acclaimed photographer Hao Zeng for Interview Magazine.
Amidst this collaborative masterpiece, Marina's elegance and allure were impeccably curated by the skilled hand of stylist Alpha Vomero, while makeup virtuoso Stefanie Willmann and hair artist Kat Zemtsova worked their magic.

Complementing the bold hue of her blazer, Marina adorns a pair of red Juan Carlos Obando Spring/Summer 2015 runway tie-waist silk wide-leg trousers. These trousers, reminiscent of the designer's acclaimed blue variation from the same collection, lend a touch of runway glamour to her look.
To add a personal touch, Marina completes her ensemble with a black bandeau top that is uniquely her own.

Skull’s Gem chapter 1: The Boss and the Designer
Being the younger sister of a Pokémon Professor was both a blessing and a curse for Pokémon fashion designer, Sapphire Kukui. Her older brother, Kalani Kukui, had quickly become famous in the Alola region once he became a professor so it was a bit difficult for her to build her own credibility and reputation, but she managed. Her designs were highly requested throughout not only Alola but the other regions as well. She recently expanded her business by designing clothes for people as well as Pokémon. 
Sapphire was getting ready to make a delivery when Kalani walked into her room.
Kalani: Hey, sis. Where you headed?
Sapphire: I’m heading out on a delivery. First to Akala Island to drop off my monthly donation to the Paniola Ranch daycare then I had an order from Po Town on Ula’Ula Island.
Kalani: Po Town? Sapph, you’ve heard the rumors about that place, right?
Sapphire: Yeah, and I’ll be fine. I have a great team of Pokémon and obviously if one of their own requested business from an outsider, they won’t do anything.
Kalani: *sigh* Alright. I trust you but just promise me you’ll be careful.
Sapphire: Promise. Go visit your wife. You need a break.
Kalani smiles as he pats her head and pulls her into a quick hug before she left the house and called her Salamence on her ride pager. Salamence let her board his back then flew to the ranch, where Sapphire grabbed her bag and headed into the daycare.
Sapphire: Marissa, I have my monthly donation.
Marissa: Sapphire, you’re a saint. Thank you so much.
Sapphire: No worries. I love helping out and the Pokémon seem to love getting dressed up.
Marissa: That they do. A friend of mine’s daughter just started a new job working with a lot more Pokémon than we do so I passed one of your business cards to her.
Sapphire: Awesome! I can’t wait to hear from her. Thanks, Marissa. I’m heading out. I have another delivery to make.
Sapphire waved to Marissa and the rest of the staff as she walked outside and got back on Salmence’s back.
Sapphire: Alright, buddy. We’re off to Po Town.
Salamence nodded in understanding and took off. Sapphire was so happy that she took the steps to register him as a ride Pokémon. He was happiest when he was flying through the skies instead of being cooped up inside his Pokeball. Sapphire patted his head as Salamence landed outside the gates to Po Town. She slid off of his back and adjusted her bag before returning him to his Pokeball and grabbing her umbrella.
Sapphire: Alright. Let’s hope that I don’t end up lying to Kalani.
She opened her umbrella and walked through the gate only to be met by the Team Skull members who were stationed to guard it.
Female Grunt: Yo! Who’s this walking onto our turf!?
Sapphire: Sapphire Kukui. I’m delivering an order for someone named Plumeria.
Male Grunt: Big Sis? What could she possibly have ordered from the baby sis of the loser Pokémon professor?
Sapphire: *sigh* If you had done your research, you’d know that I’m not just Professor Kukui’s little sister. I’m a fashion designer that specializes in Pokémon outfits. Can someone please just either escort me to Plumeria or bring her out here? I just want to give her her order and go.
???: Who ordered what now?
Sapphire froze. That voice was familiar, though it was deeper than when she’d last heard it over ten years ago. She last heard it when she left Alola to expand on her business. She turned around and had to lift her head to be able to once again stare into the stormy gray eyes that she’d loved looking into during her teen years.
Sapphire: *breathlessly* Guzma.
Guzma’s eyes widened once he realized just who the young woman standing in front of him was.
Guzma: Sapphire? Arceus, it’s been forever. How have ya been? Ya look…….
A soft blush dusts his cheeks as he looks her up and down, taking in just how much she had changed. He clears his throat as he rubs the back of his neck.
Guzma: Ya look amazin’.
Sapphire blushes as she looks down, pulling her umbrella closer to her in an attempt to hide her face.
Sapphire: Thank you.
MG: Yo, boss! You know this chick!?
Guzma: Yeah, she’s cool! Why ya here, Sapph?
Sapphire: I have a delivery for Plumeria. She ordered some bandanas from me.
Guzma looks to the grunts behind her and glares at them.
Guzma: And you dunces just let her stand here in the rain!? Move!
The grunts run in different directions, fearful of their boss’ rage, and Guzma returns his gaze back down to Sapphire.
Guzma: Come on, Sapphire. I’ll take ya to Plumes.
He walks past her and Sapphire follows him. She stares at his back, her head swirling with questions. 
Guzma: I can see the gears in yer head turnin’, Sapph, and I’m not even lookin’ at ya.
Sapphire: You left.
Guzma: Yep.
Sapphire: Without telling me.
Guzma: Correct again.
Sapphire: Why?
Guzma stops when they reach the mansion so Sapphire also paused.
Sapphire: Guzma?
She could see his clenched fists shaking.
Guzma: Doesn’t matter.
Sapphire: Guzma.
He stays silent as they enter the rundown mansion. Sapphire looked around as she closed her umbrella and set it by the door.
Sapphire: This is…..homey.
Guzma: It’s garbage but it’s a perfect home for a bunch of abandoned misfits like us.
Sapphire paused and stared at Guzma’s back. She remembered how many times he’d attempted the Island Trial but always ended up losing to one of the captains. The Island Trial was just one of many things he had tried but failed at.
Sapphire: So, what makes you all misfits?
Guzma: Either lost the Island Trial or deemed failures by adults. Had nowhere else to go or fit in. I found everyone and brought them together, then we came home. We’re more than a team. We’re a family.
Sapphire reached out, wanting to put her hand on his back, but was interrupted.
Plumeria: Sapphire Kukui, the most famous fashion designer in Alola.
Sapphire: *blushing* Th-That’s me. Are you Plumeria?
Plumeria: You got it. I can’t wait to see what you came up with.
Sapphire smiles as she pulls a couple of bandanas out of her bag.
Sapphire: I remember you telling me that most of your Pokemon are Poison types so I chose a dark purple color for the base and, since Salazzle is your primary partner, I included flames into the design.
Plumeria took the bandanas and inspected them.
Plumeria: They’re so soft. What kind of material is this?
Sapphire: Silk. Most of my material is made from the webs of Spinarak and Ariados.
Plumeria: Amazing. I admire that you work so closely with your Pokemon to create such lovely clothes.
Sapphire: Thank you. I’d be nowhere without my Pokemon.
Guzma watches them as they talk and can’t help the small twitch of his lips, though he quickly shook it away. He wouldn’t let himself dream. He couldn’t.
Sapphire: Alright, Plumeria, I’m glad you’re happy with your order. I’ll be taking my leave now.
Sapphire turned around and looked up at Guzma, smiling as she made eye contact.
Sapphire: It was good seeing you again, Guzma.
She grabbed her umbrella and headed out the door, closing it behind her.
***GUZMA’S POV***
Plumeria: So, how long have you been in love with her?
My face heated up and turned bright as I turned to her.
Guzma: Wha!? I’m not-!?
Plumeria: Don’t lie to me, Guzma. I saw you staring at her the entire time she and I were talking. So, answer my question. How long?
Nothin’ ever got past Plumes. I sigh as I run my fingers through my hair.
Guzma: Since we were brats. I was friends with her brother and one day, she started taggin’ along. She quickly got closer to me than her brother was and then I watched her grow into an amazin’ trainer and a beautiful woman. We were sixteen when it hit me like a rampagin’ Tauros. I was talkin’ to Ma about her the day of the incident and how I was goin’ to ask her to be my girl, then the old man came home and you know how that ends. I left the island that day, never sayin’ a word to her. Then, she left Alola and I hid out here. Now, she’s back and a famous fashion designer and I’m the delinquent boss of a band of misfits who cause trouble for trial goers. She’s too good for me, Plumes, and all my baggage would just drag her down. She doesn’t need that.
Plumeria: Don’t you think you should let her decide that?
I didn’t answer her. I just went up to my room to lay in my hammock. Sapphire’s better off without me in her life and I’m stickin’ to that resolve. No matter how much it hurts.

“Get me the leash!” demanded Ms. Akerlund with a maniacal titter as an entourage in white lab coats sprang into action. One of her assistants, Blaze Stow, dressed in a fitted gray Hugo Boss suit and black vintage leather tie, returned sporting a leather dog collar and long chained leash. “She’s obsessed with this today,” said Mr. Stow, with an indulgent eye roll. Wearing a long-sleeve glossy black dress with a jacquard paneled skirt from the & Other Stories collection, Ms. Akerlund — whose own default look is part midcareer Shannen Doherty, part Morticia Addams — led her leashed assistant down the hallway while the Swedish photographer John Scarisbrick clicked away and Depeche Mode’s “Master and Servant” boomed over the sound system.
She stopped near the elevator. “Get on your knees,” the stylist demanded. “On all fours!” Mr. Stow dutifully obeyed. More photos.
In the elevator on the way down to the street, Marissa Gonzales, another of Ms. Akerlund’s assistants. turned to Mr. Stow to commiserate. “It’s O.K., I had the dog mask on earlier,” she said.
Outside the studio, located half a block south of the still somewhat seedy intersection of Hollywood and Vine, two police officers on bicycles were assessing the consciousness of a slumped-over man as a 1979 boxy Rolls-Royce with a black top and cream-colored sides slowly emerged from the alley. From the rear passenger seat, Ms. Akerlund leaned out the window, her blond-by-nature, jet-black-by-design hair cascading over the door. Mr. Scarisbrick eagerly snapped away as the chauffeur, played by Mr. Stow, reversed the Rolls along Vine. Oblivious to the goings-on of the police behind the car, Ms. Akerlund joked to the photographer: “Do you have any Grey Poupon?”
