I can't take "Kim is rude to wait staff" "Kim treats the bodyguards like shit" "Kim is awful to strangers and has to learn basic manners"

Because it's fucking canon that in the middle of a fight for chays life, a fight he already knows is going to cause some damage, a fight he's outnumbered for and no one even knows he's there, he still keeps yok from losing an entire shelf and mirrors and alcohol. He knows she is a small business probably knows her entire Financials what with him being Mr. Mcsnoopy face.

Im eyeing up a totally gorgeous pair of Victorian Bohemian garnet earrings, which are on sale, but I'm hesitating because they are screwbacks. Do you have any idea how easy it would be to convert them to regular drop earrings? Usually I would be loathe to alter a piece of history, but in this case I suspect they may have actually been designed for pierced ears initially and converted to screwbacks in the 1920s, so I think it's okay.

Depends on the design. If they have a little loop at the top of the dangling element, you can just use jewelry pliers- or sometimes your hands -to open that up, slip it off of the screwback base, and put them on French wires from a craft or jewelry-supply store.

These could be converted at home, though you'd lose the garnets on the bases

With stud-type earrings or those that have a lot of ornate decoration on the base, it might be harder to do, or just harder to justify if you'd end up losing lots of stones.

These are screwbacks and you'd need a jeweler to do a more involved conversion on them.

The other thing about Bohemian garnets is that the style remained popular for a LONG time. Like, "I'm not entirely sure they aren't still making new pieces" long. So there are earrings that exist from the Pierced Ears Are Evil era of mainstream US and UK history (mid-1920s to 1960s), and they often look very similar to earlier styles. A few tells of later pieces that I've heard of from jewelers, but never actually been able to say are 100% certain, are to look for settings with open backs, flat-topped as opposed to rose-cut stones, and an increased use of cabochons. Again, though, take that with a grain of salt, because for every tell a jeweler has imparted to me, another jeweler has expressed skepticism. The styles changed so little that without provenance, it can be very hard to tell.

That being said...they would have done it in a heartbeat. See also: the huge numbers of pierced earrings that, as you say, got converted to screwbacks

because only Dirty Immigrants and Loose Women pierce their ears, and grandmothers from the Bad Old Days, and anyway piercing HURTS so it's PAIN FOR BEAUTY and UNFEMINIST! wear screwbacks instead! just ignore your earlobes slowly going numb; this is much more progressive :)

I will never understand the anti-ear-piercing era, and I'm so glad it ended before I was born. What a load of nonsense

Anyway, hope this helps!

Baby Mizuki's desire to suck on her hand instead of one of her million billion pacis is directly proportional to how expensive/tedious her current nail polish design was to get done. Baby Ena's desire to suck on Mizuki's hand is also like this. Her hands are sparkly and smell good, so it makes sense to be interested in them, but it's not good for babies!!

wanted to expand on the idea that he wears suits because he wants to see Ai with his best looks on...

what Ai says is from these tag by @insertname099 (thank you!// these have been giving me a lot of ideas lately!!)> #ALSO while i think that he wears suits all the time mostly as an easy way to play the role of the Suave Millionaire CEO#like formal menswear is so regimented that's it easy for him (someone who probably was also from a children's home and wasnt born rich)#to use it to fit into the high power corperate world that he's lived in since he was an adult#its a part of his social camouflage#like he's always been one to try and fit in with others and play the role of how others see him after all

Mhm, I also agree with it, couldn't have said it any better-

it's an idea that can coexist with> #BUT the thought that he's always wearing suits because Ai once said that he would look good in one#and that he always wears suits because he wants to look his best whenever he mets Ai again#and for someone as self hating and probably passively suicidal as him he probably thinks that the day he dies could come anytime...#that thought is just so. augh#my heart. its taking tick damage. oof. ouch. oof. augh.#he loves her so much... he wants her to see him at his best...

I really love these tags ;v;///all the likes, reblogs, tags.. they motivate me to keep going, thank you so much. I'm sure it's been making me draw twice as much as I would have without them, it means a lot!

I personally see Hikaru's character as someone who has Ai as his core, he's devised to be her partner from the character development stage. So whatever he does...I see it having to do with Ai or his feelings toward her. He's that kind of character :) I like that about him!
