#my favorite design elements 💥💥

[w1ndigo0]

Nobody in Ignihyde be wearing their uniform correctly, smh

Anyways, here's this evil fish thing

(more info under the cut :>)

He's a 2nd year ignihyde student, and has a frenemies (for now ) type relationship with Idia

He's actually known Idia from when they were little kids ,but they grew apart after what happened with Ortho

He loves annoying Idia and regularly gets Idia to snap at him (red hair and all)

Generally just a menace, and a thorn in the Shroud brothers side's

Ortho does not like him lol

He's something in between an oarfish and a dragon fish mer (he is very large with very sharp teeth)

ELEMENT OF SURPRISE- 💥

Even more au doodles because I have way too much free time.

This time around 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Anti-Power Couple Au 🎉🎉🎉🎉 (by @starry-blue-echoes)

I think my Hol Horse bias is showing-

Anyway cute Holpol nonsense YIPPEEEE (click for better quality)

I simultaneously love and hate the design I made for him. Cause on one hand I think he looks cool as hell but on the other he has so many details the amount of times I forgot his ear piercing/braid/stubble/bullet necklace/strings on his hat/wedding ring/which side the wrist bands went on is low-key ridiculous and completely my own fault 💀/silly

These are the best hands I've ever drawn in my life ngl.

Fun fact: "Mon petit chou" with no context means "my little cabbage" when directly translated to English. Because you know if Polnareff is gonna call Hol a French pet name it's gonna be something simultaneously rly sweet in French but wack in English NSNDNNDD

There's more context than that behind why "my little cabbage" is considered a French term of endearment but that's an info dump for another day 😭

I don't have much to say for this one other than the doddle of one of the Sex Pistols holding Emperor is one of my favorite things and I'm using it as a reaction image now.

HOLPOL WEDDING

I wish I could have done more with their outfits but I just didn't have the time to design anything rly unique 😭.

I genuinely hope the random huge drops of fanart aren't overwhelming or anything for ya- I just get in a flow of doin em and don't realize how much I've done until I've ran out of scenarios to draw :') wish ya the best ✌️/gen

How Early 2000s Fashion is Fueling the Indie Sleaze Revival – Get Ready to Be Layered in Nostalgia!

Hey, babe! 🌸 So, have you noticed how the early 2000s are totally making a comeback? It’s like someone hit rewind on our favorite fashion moments from that era, and honestly, I’m living for it! The vibe? Indie Sleaze – and it’s all about bringing back those edgy, glam, and slightly chaotic looks that defined the coolest scenes from the turn of the millennium. Let’s dive into how the Y2K fashion revival is fueling this Indie Sleaze resurgence, and how you can totally rock these vibes in your own way. Get ready to be layered in nostalgia! ��✨

What Even Is Indie Sleaze? 🌟

Okay, before we get into the fashion deets, let’s talk about what Indie Sleaze actually is. Picture this: It’s the early 2000s, and you’re at a dimly lit, underground concert or an afterparty that feels like it might never end. The air is thick with the sound of guitars, the smell of hairspray, and the energy of a crowd that’s just as cool as they are chaotic. The style? Messy yet glamorous, with a “don’t care” attitude that’s somehow still perfectly put together. That, my dear, is Indie Sleaze.

This aesthetic is all about blending high and low fashion, mixing vintage finds with designer pieces, and embracing a look that’s effortlessly undone. It’s grunge meets glam, with a dash of nostalgia for those Myspace days when everyone was a little bit emo and a whole lot of cool.

Early 2000s Fashion – The Roots of Indie Sleaze 👖

Now, let’s talk about how the early 2000s are fueling this revival. Back in the day, fashion was all about low-rise jeans, chunky belts, mini skirts, layered tank tops, and more eyeliner than you knew what to do with. It was a time when your outfit wasn’t complete without a pair of scuffed-up Converse or boots and a vintage band tee you snagged from a thrift store.

We’re seeing all those iconic elements making a major comeback, but with a modern twist. Here’s how:

1. Low-Rise Jeans & Mini Skirts – The Return of the Rebel Fit 💥

Remember when low-rise jeans were the thing? Well, they’re back, and they’re bringing mini skirts with them. This time around, it’s all about that perfectly imperfect fit – think low-rise flares paired with a cropped graphic tee, or a mini skirt worn with a slouchy sweater. It’s casual, it’s cool, and it’s got that “I just threw this on” vibe that screams Indie Sleaze.

2. Layered Tank Tops & Chunky Belts – Double the Trouble 👚

Layering is everything in Indie Sleaze, and the early 2000s gave us the blueprint. Layered tank tops in contrasting colors, paired with chunky belts slung low on the hips, create a look that’s equal parts playful and edgy. Throw in some fishnets or torn tights, and you’ve got a look that’s ready for a night out (or just a day of feeling like the coolest person in the room).

3. Vintage Band Tees & Thrifted Gems – The Heart of Indie Sleaze 🎸

Vintage band tees are a must-have for any Indie Sleaze outfit. The more worn-in, the better. These tees are the ultimate throwback to those days when you’d scour thrift stores for the perfect one-of-a-kind find. Pair them with anything – jeans, skirts, even over a slip dress – and you’ve got a look that’s as effortlessly cool as it is nostalgic.

4. Messy Hair & Smoky Eyes – The Ultimate Indie Sleaze Beauty Look 🖤

Indie Sleaze isn’t just about the clothes – it’s about the whole vibe, and that includes beauty. We’re talking about messy, undone hair that looks like you just rolled out of bed (but in the most fabulous way possible) and smoky eyes that are smudged just right. It’s all about looking like you’ve been up all night dancing to your favorite indie band – and honestly, who wouldn’t want to channel that energy?

Why We’re All Here for This Revival 🎶

So, why is Indie Sleaze making a comeback now? Honestly, I think it’s because we’re all craving a little bit of that carefree, rebellious spirit that defined the early 2000s. It was a time when fashion was all about self-expression, when mixing high and low was the norm, and when everything felt just a little bit grungy – in the best way possible.

With everything going on in the world, there’s something comforting about tapping into that nostalgic energy. It’s like revisiting a simpler time when all you needed was a good pair of jeans, a band tee, and some eyeliner to feel like you could take on the world.

How to Rock Indie Sleaze in 2024 – Your Style Guide 🕶️

Ready to bring a little Indie Sleaze into your wardrobe? Here’s how to make it work:

1. Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to combine pieces that seem like they shouldn’t go together. Layer a fancy top over a vintage band tee, or pair a mini skirt with a baggy hoodie. The more unexpected, the better.

2. Go for the Grunge Glam: Channel that grungy yet glamorous energy by adding a little edge to your look. Think fishnet tights, chunky boots, and plenty of silver jewelry.

3. Keep It Messy: When it comes to hair and makeup, remember that less is more – as in, the less effort it looks like you put in, the better. Smudged eyeliner and bedhead are your best friends.

4. Embrace the Nostalgia: Don’t shy away from those early 2000s staples – low-rise jeans, layered tanks, chunky belts, and all the band tees you can find. It’s all about bringing that era back with a fresh, modern twist.

Final Thoughts, Babe: Get Ready to Sleaze It Up 💋

So, there you have it – the lowdown on how early 2000s fashion is fueling the Indie Sleaze revival. It’s all about embracing that perfectly imperfect vibe, mixing old with new, and layering your looks with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Whether you’re going full-on Indie Sleaze or just adding a few elements here and there, it’s time to have fun with your fashion and let your rebellious spirit shine.

What do you think, babe? Are you ready to embrace the Indie Sleaze revival, or is Y2K fashion better left in the past? Let’s chat in the comments – I’m dying to know how you’re going to style this look! 💕

I wanted to try drawing a few of Jobu Tupaki’s fantastic costumes in a kawaii chibi style! Here is her ‘everything bagel “goddess” look. It was really fun looking closely at all the details costume design put into her outfits. What’s your favorite EEAAO costume from any character? It’s really hard to pick, but I think wrestler Jobu might be my fav right now. The electric blue shimmer is so eye-catching and it has so many cute elements like hearts, lightning bolts and fluff that say “she’s cute but she’ll mess you up!” 💥🥊 💙 I just put in an order for postcard prints of these, so keep an eye out for those coming soon!

If your taking asks:

-Who’s your favourite Heavenhold Champion?

-Favourite 3-Star, 2-Star and 1-Star/NPC?

-What’s your favourite world (Story-wise?)

-What’s your favourite world (Mechanic-wise?)

Before starting i want to say what i won't be answering your questions with "Knight","Garam" or "Craig" as response because (i am literally obsessed with them 24/7,like,the brainrot is in fact real.) i want to take this opportunity to talk about my other favorite characters i am very fond of,so now,let's start!

▪︎Who is your favorite Heavenhold Champion?

-My favorite Champion is definitely Coco! (Sorry Lilith,she always wins my heart 🫶🏻)Ough I LOVE HER OKAY??? (Platonic) I'm being honest when i say what she is a very well written character (and World 16 truly showcases that!),i love her personnality so much ok??? I still don't understand why there is people what doesn't like her,she is so nice! her design is cute,it looks so warm and comfyyy,Coco is a very relatable character too-....at least for me (Me 🤝 Coco= Having trust issues ),honestly,i get very happy everytime i see more content of her ingame (like fr,when i saw what Coco appeared in the second Summer Side-story i legit screamed of happiness 😭).

▪︎Favorite 3-Star,2-Star and 1-Star/NPC?

-Favorite 3-Star: LAPICE MY BELOVED WIFE OF COURSE!!!💞🩷💞🩷💞🩷💞🩷💞🩷(Again,sorry Lilith)My silly wifeyyy i'm going to cherish your dreams forever,maybe you don't have that much content ingame (and the Devs are aware of it,and still decided to make fun of it) but i still love you so much 🫶🏻

-Favorite 2-Star: EVA‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ She is awesome! I love her like.....Ourg Eva my beloved you're so amazing I LOVE (Platonic) YOUUUUUUUUU 🩷💞🩷💞🩷💞,best AroAce icon to me frrr 🤞🏻,also! haven't you see the way what she cares about the Princess???? It warms my heart so much ahlskelwwkel🥹💞 She is a very determined person with a great heart,and her knowledge of magic is so interesting,i would like to see the game expanding more the lore of how the magic works in Tetis tbh,and let me tell you her use of magic is cool! Even if is kinda looking goofy ingame tho (like please i would pay a shit ton of money just to have a class about how magic works and how to use it if Eva was my teacher fr 🙏🏻)LET MY GIRL APPEAR IN THE MAIN STORY AGAIN RIGHT NOW‼️‼️‼️🫵🏻

-Favorite 1-Star: AILIEEEEEEE‼️‼️‼️‼️ *fucking explodes*💥💥💥She is my silly underrated girl,she is a bit traumatized but that's understandable,she is capable of committing murder,does shady stuff,her current job is collecting stuff from rotting corpses,a kind of manipulative girl (fitting knowing her job),an Asexual Lesbian with a Boomer Bi Paternal figure what she cares so much of and defend him to dead if possible (according to the worms in my head 💞🩷💞🩷).Someone was stalking her? She knows and completely gaves a fuck about it ma girl can smack their head with a hammer anytime✌🏻,she probably would be a Twitter user in real life and send death threats,she is such a fucking bastard and she knows it✨️

I'm so fond of her unfortunately.

Hoping for her 3-star version soon 🙏🏻 -

▪︎What's your favorite World (Story-wise?)

-Honestly? I don't know..... Maybe World 16? It has so much Lore to dissect here....

▪︎What's your favorite World (Mechanic-wise?)

-None! I have a love/hate relationship with any game mechanics i fear :)

▪︎What's your favorite element?

-Hhhmm this is a hard one.... Light? Because Lapice and my daughters FP and Priscilla are here i guess.

▪︎What’s your favourite weapon class?

-Staff! I love what we can use Scythes there :)

▪︎If you were a character in Guardian Tales, what would your element, weapon class, and role be?

-Easy!

Element: Dark

Weapon: Staff

Role: Support (I know what i would suck at having a fighting role in GT lmao 💀)

▪︎What is your favourite boss fight? And which boss do you hate fighting the most?

-Maybe it was hellish for other players but i love fighting Beth,it was a good challenge! BUT Raid Fairy. I FUCKING HATE FIGHTING HER.

▪︎If you play Guardian Tales, who’s usually on your team?

-Lapice,FP or Priscilla,Hana and Miya most of the time. I need a better team to advance story mode tbh

▪︎If you could fight/punch 1 character in Guardian Tales, who would it be?

-Let me change that "1" to "3" because I want to punch the shit out of Halbal,Kaden and Morrian,and more Kaden honestly 👊🏻.

So that would be! Thank you so much for the questions! They were fun to answer! 🫶🏻💞🩷💞

Maddy Walsh has worked so hard developing a sound and style that are both distinct and evolving. Many years of leading @maddywalshandtheblindspots in fun, dancy, sexy tunes has honed in @maddmaddywalsh’s flamboyant stage style presence full of design elements that move and groove. At this year’s 30th @fingerlakesgrassrootsfest Maddy had two performances and two fabulous looks, both complete with wings. Even as she performs her style evolves, to the delight of her audience! Maddy really uses style as a key component of her live performances, often creating a story and making powerful fashion statements blending music, fashion and activism. Fringed boots and wrist cuffs and thigh jewelry were my personal favorite components! Maddy also shared an off stage look when we talked about this year’s extra special GrassRoots Festival fashion. Maddy often wears secondhand and even offers secondhand branded merch at her shows. This year she featured not only Maddy Walsh and The Blind Spots tunes, but music from her solo album Humanmade Thing. Be sure to check out the short video I recently shared featuring the song “We Are Elephants” - which has a Music Video Debut tonight on YouTube! Maddy and her lead guitar player/leading man Suave will be performing live with @afrobeta this Friday at @therangeithaca if your in the Ithaca/Finger Lakes area here in New York! 💃🏽 💥 ❤️ . . . #grassroots #stagestyle #performer #femalemusician #moxyrock #powerhouse #grassrootsgoddess #rockgoddess #singersongwriter #feminineleadership #bandleader #chicksrock #girlpower #stagepressence #consummateperformer #goddess #fringe #festivalfashion #dancefashion #stagefashion #performerfashion #clothingtodancein #spotlight #centerstage #rockstar #rockstarfashion #diva #sexydiva #moxydiva #fashionactivism (at Grassroots Trumansburg New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChUf8W_As_u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
