gojo would kill your work husband. but if he were the work husband, that's a different story

REAL!! he’s such a hypocrite because if someone mentioned you had a work husband, his entire world would stop and he wold devise the absolute worst plans to make sure that your co-worker, everyone at your job, and everyone in the next building over knew that he was happily committed to you 

but if he is the work husband, he’s very........ dutiful in his role. there’s a loose office/lawyer au in my head where satoru is your secretary, and for all intents and purposes, your personal assistant, and he’s good at his job, but mostly because he considers his job to be pleasing you. he has coffee for you when you arrive, he moves your schedule around without you asking, he has answers to questions before you can even ask them, he has fresh flowers on your desk weekly, pokes into your meetings to pretend to hand you a file that’s really just maybe a single document in a manilla folder with candy on top of it—he’s made himself your business, your partner; he’s made himself irreplaceable, and he loves to remind everybody of that fact. 

he’s also extremely loyal. sure, he could day a week’s worth of work done in about a day, but that doesn’t mean he’ll just use his talents for anybody. he’s your secretary, so he’s at your beck and call, and everyone knows it. they know he’s the best, but also that he’s off limits—not because you won’t share him, but because satoru won’t let himself be shared. 

he also extends his duties beyond work, of course. when he hands you a print out of your schedule for the day and you’re confused by the three-hour block of time you have in the middle of the day, satoru just helps you shrug your coat of your shoulders and smiles, “that’s for the lunch date you have with me, of course!” hanging up your coat in your closet for you, “i’m paying, see you soon, sweets.” and because you’re great at your job, and satoru helps you be great, nobody really questions when the two of you have time for a 13-course tasting menu at 1pm on a tuesday afternoon. and if they did, all satoru would say that you two had a lovely date

Plan:

If NZ First gets to pass their ridiculous bathroom law, then we do the following:

1. We all wear kilts and skirts, and we gather around public bathrooms

2. We paint skirts on all the bathroom symbols so they all look the same, because anyone can wear a skirt, regardless of gender

3. We use whatever damn bathrooms we want

Zendaya at the after party (?) of the Los Angeles Challengers premiere in a neon tennis ball green custom V-neck and backless 🎾 dress by Celia Kritharioti with a literal tennis ball accent...I kinda like it, although it is so literal to the movie theme, but it's also fun and the silhouette is a tried and tested winner for her! :)

Just the make-up and hair could also be a bit more fun. Besides the red lip from the other day, her make-up is kept minimal, smokey eye, bronzer and clean make-up (minimal for red carpet events)....I get that she probably doesn't do a lot when she is wearing two different looks in one day, but it's boring like this, tbh. 🎾😌🎾 I wonder if they contemplated to wear the Loewe tennis ball shoes again :D would be kinda.over the top but also why not?!

And this is the other look from the day...Vera Wang skirt and lingerie on top..not the best choice in my opinion, although it shows the other side of Zendaya's character Tashi in this movie (being a bad ass and sexy mother?!)... :D yeah well, it looks not cohesive...

Zendaya Screams Quiet Luxury: The Green Revolution in Challengers

Now that I’ve finally caught up with Challengers, I’m ready to dissect the dazzling green phenomenon that was Zendaya’s press tour from this past April. If you missed it, Zendaya’s appearances were a masterclass in strategic fashion, with each outfit meticulously chosen to showcase the rich spectrum of green. Here’s a look back at how Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach, turned the press tour into a vibrant celebration of color, style, and sophistication.

The Green Strategy: A Cohesive Vision

Zendaya’s press tour was nothing short of a green extravaganza, with each appearance meticulously planned to highlight different facets of this versatile color. From deep, opulent emeralds to eye-catching neon greens, Zendaya’s wardrobe created a visual narrative that was as captivating as it was cohesive. This wasn’t just about choosing a color—it was about crafting a signature look that tied her promotional efforts together with stunning consistency.

Her deep green gowns exuded timeless elegance, perfect for high-profile events and red carpet moments. These choices spoke of classic luxury and sophistication, setting a high bar for fashion during the tour. Conversely, her use of neon greens injected a dose of modern energy into her look, ensuring that Zendaya’s style remained fresh and engaging throughout the press cycle. The deliberate contrast between these shades allowed her to showcase a range of moods and themes, making each appearance uniquely memorable.

Quiet Luxury: Subtle Sophistication

Zendaya’s wardrobe during the press tour was a celebration of quiet luxury—a style defined by understated elegance and impeccable craftsmanship. The choice of deep greens was particularly effective in underscoring this aesthetic. Each piece, from tailored blazers to flowing gowns, was crafted with a focus on quality and subtlety, embodying the essence of luxury without overt flashiness.

Law Roach’s curation was a testament to the power of minimalist design and refined taste. The garments chosen for Zendaya were marked by their superb tailoring and luxurious fabrics, enhancing the quiet luxury vibe. The green tones amplified this effect, turning every outfit into a sophisticated statement that felt both modern and timeless.

Preppy Tennis Style: A Chic Twist

One of the highlights of Zendaya’s press tour was the playful infusion of preppy tennis style. This classic aesthetic was brought to life with a modern twist, incorporating crisp white accents, sporty chic blazers, and sleek trousers with subtle green detailing. These elements added a fresh, youthful energy to Zendaya’s look, blending nostalgic charm with contemporary flair.

The preppy tennis influence created a delightful contrast with the more opulent aspects of her wardrobe, adding a layer of sophistication and fun. It was a nod to classic elegance that felt both current and innovative, perfectly complementing the green color scheme.

Strategic Impact: Building a Brand

Looking back, it’s clear that Zendaya’s strategic use of green throughout the press tour was more than just a fashion choice; it was a carefully crafted branding strategy. By consistently showcasing this color, Zendaya created a cohesive visual identity that reinforced her connection to Challengers. The green theme made her promotional appearances not only memorable but also deeply tied to the film’s aesthetic.

Law Roach’s expert styling ensured that each outfit not only aligned with the film’s themes but also elevated Zendaya’s status as a fashion icon. The green strategy was a testament to how thoughtful fashion choices can enhance a public persona and make a lasting impression.

Conclusion: A Fashion Masterpiece

Zendaya’s April press tour for Challengers remains a standout example of how to use fashion strategically. With Law Roach’s impeccable styling, green became more than just a color—it became a powerful tool for storytelling and branding. Each appearance was a testament to the art of fashion, blending quiet luxury and preppy elegance into a cohesive and unforgettable narrative. Now that I’ve finally seen the film, it’s clear that Zendaya’s green glamour was not just a trend but a triumph of style and sophistication.

Sora: Warrior Of The Sea

Random Trivia!

Sora & Sora: Future

The manga ran for over 40 years. Meaning, yes, it was around before Law could even read it, and yet was still being written when he was in high school. A second run, acting as a wrap up to many of the incomplete plotlines, was started some 12 years after the original creator's death, taken up by his adopted daughter with her wife acting as the artist. Though the story picked up right where the original manga run had suddenly cut off, it also flashes to some undated time when Sora was much older, earning it the fan nickname "Sora: Future".

The (Non Destroyed) Novelizations

While the main storyline of Sora takes place in the manga, there are four or five - depending on the source - novellas that act as either prequels or simply companions to the main plot. The most well known of which is simply "Sora!" A novelized version of the first three manga arcs, written by his aforementioned daughter and published prior to the 8th arc as a sort of promotional event. Two of the other novels - "Poison: A Study In Pink" and "Blackest Heart: The Story of Santeki Vinreykur" - were written in a similar fashion, though in this case both of them told the events from major arcs through the perspective of Germa 66, with Blackest Heart often considered to be not only the best of the novels but a must read for fans of the White Lake arc.

Then there is the prequel novel, or novels depending on who you ask. You see, while the Sora manga is obviously not based on real events - that would be ridiculous, I mean, have you read them, they are pure fantasy! - there are certain aspects that borrow from real life. For instance, the hero is a marine, and the depiction of the Marines in the manga is largely taken from real life, including the presence of characters from outside the North such as Vice Admiral Umiko (Calm Belt) and her assistant (West blue) as well as Daichi (East Blue) due to the location of a major naval school in the North. Also, you know, a kingdom of evil technological mercenaries on an island that moved around the sea. Who, for whatever reason, seem to take issue with certain depictions of their kingdom in the manga (in general, they saw the fear instilled in Northern youth by the work to be a good thing, but every now and again the anonymous author who published the comics appeared to cross an unknown line and when Germa took issue with something, they made their displeasure very, very clear).

The first prequel, "The BoX Of Pandora" was widely panned as an unnecessary money grab from the author's estate; it was written between when the Sora comics had stopped being produced and the future manga. It took a true fan to appreciate the work and how it informed Pandora's character (quote Trafalgar Law every single time the issue came up). The story itself is the first Sora property to be female dominated, centering around Pandora's childhood, her becoming a pirate, and her eventual rise to being named a Titan (a title somewhat between to shichibukai and yonko but only within the North Blue). The other novel was written about Daichi and is something between a prequel and retelling, in that the climax of the novel retells the story of Sora first stealing the raid suit from Germa 66, but leading up to that is mostly new material exploring Daichi first arriving to North Blue and his time at the naval academy, meeting Sora as well as Doctor Hart (at the time still merely a marine doctor) and how these friendships would end up shaping him and the path he took after academy.

If you are wondering why there is no title it's because, well, anything sold under the original title simply doesn't exist anymore. Who can say which part of the book set off Germa 66: was it information about their base revealed during Sora's breakin that was absent from the manga but strangely detailed in the novelization or the multiple discussions of the raid suits abilities including having certain elements explored by more scientifically minded characters such as when Dr. Hart is allowed to inspect what he is told are scraps of a shot down Germa drone - to inspect the life support capabilities of the suit. It could have been something as meaningless as when Stealth Black allows Daichi to go in one of the later chapters, with the narration heavily implying this is due not so much to his inherent mercy (though that is a trait we have seen Stealth Black/Santeki show many times and that Germa has taken some issue with in the past) but more his.... Interest in Daichi (no, it all but right out states that if Daichi were not as attractive and likable as he was, he would be dead). Then again, it could be something as small as when it's revealed that outside of the North Germa's name holds no power. It's impossible to tell with a group like Germa, but regardless of the cause, the first printing of the book went nowhere, due in large part to the explosion of multiple publishing houses. These days, the only way to acquire a copy is on the black market, and you always run the risk of buying one of the many falsified editions that people have put out over the years.

(Law despises the people that would put out what is basically fanfiction, getting true fans hopes up by claiming it to be actual copies of the original Daichi novel. He has also read 8 different versions of the book.)

Sora! Panto!

Every year, around the start of winter, North Blue holds a big celebration. Other blues see it as a sort of holiday before their big hibernation, mistakenly believing that in the past, Northerns simply SLEPT the entire winter, since certain areas of the North barely even see sunlight for those months. That's pure nonsense, of course, Northerns simply respect nature and the power it has over their lives. Or at least they used to, way back when, and from those days the celebration of Yule Eve came with a whole feast of different celebrations of festivities. One of which is the art of the pantomime.

While Sora: Warrior of the Sea is comparatively rather new, that hasn't stopped people from incorporating the sea wide famous manga into various forms of entertainment. The first adaptation of Sora ever created was not, as many believe, of the Saturday morning cartoon - and don't make the mistake of implying this around Law, not unless you are ready for a four hour lecture on the history of Sora and North Blue culture - but was a den den radio play called "Sora of the North Sea" and simply due down to the production company and the actors who worked there, the part of Daichi was played by a female actor (though the character was still male). For whatever reason, this carried over to the stage, where it became something of a popular meme to have Poison Pink played by a younger male cast member, while Daichi was played by a woman.

In fact, in his first year on the cast, Zoro was invited by his best friend/rival to a Northern pantomime based on Sora. Kuina, a fellow stunt actor who had recently had a small burst of fame in the North as one of the few performers able to properly pull off Santoryu (well she better be able to after beating Zoro so much when they were younger, right!) Being cast in a few minor action movie roles and subsequently asked to perform in a major panto product of Sora where she was cast as Daichi.

Zoro isn't sure he got it. Kuina was awesome, no doubt, though most of the sword work was pretty cheap and uninspired. Still, she did some amazing flips, stage dives, even some cool wire work in a scene where she had to jump into the sea to save Sora. He was just confused why everyone seemed so amused whenever they made it obvious she was a girl. They obviously knew that when they cast her, what was the big deal? He also didn't quite understand why the actor who played Sora kept giving Kuina these LOOKS. The audience found it hilarious but Zoro just didn't get it. What he did take from the play was that he was never kissing Perona. NEVER.

Northern culture is weird sometimes.

[Edit: Apologies to @devilfruitsaladfordinner who wanted Sora content and instead of anything, like, decent gets this random one off about how most Daichi's wear skirts.]

me and my friend were discussing this, and i’m curious to hear your opinion- do you think the original VAs will be reprising their roles for the Bachelor route? because it’s been a few years, and i wonder if they’re all still up to it.

and like, a lot of lines can be reused, but they gotta voice act stuff for Daniil-specific lines and for the plays, right?

Great question... my first thought was that "intended for Bachelor" spoken dialogue lines had already been recorded, such as dankovsky's "I never even told her how I felt" (I think it's unused? although not flagged as such on the wiki...). Optimistically my money's on getting 75% of the original VAs to return if they do record new lines, but the de-emphasis of the Bound as characters (and generally how many costs are being cut by re-using assets) makes this less likely in my mind.

I think the nonlinear time framing makes it less likely that we'll even have pantomimes in a similar structure (although... a different structure with the same Theatre concept would be great, like a recap of how your actions in a given gameplay segment affected the timeline proceeding from there. Situations where going to the plays is helpful each time to understand what's happening. However, the game's not open-world so physically going to the Theatre wouldn't work...)! I'm very much hoping that the broad plot will diverge from all of the events late haruspex route contained, so at least in narration anything like its pantomimes would need new VO, but using only Talon and Beak's actors would be a very effective band-aid - emphasizing some level of detachment from the people's experience, and the sense that the bachelor sees himself in a grandiose tragic narrative. though again, generic/new characters taking up more of the spotlight would help!

Old post! A quick scribble of a DnD character I made for a campaign by @warmwalker-arts. They were supposed to be written as a half-assed inside joke meant to test limits and loopholes, but as time went on I...kinda ran amok in the writing process and almost cried at 3AM. No, they're not really born a banana. They just had the misfortune of hexing themself in the least likely thing possible--and who's to say what the red halo in the stormy distance could possibly be?

Also yes, I was inspired by Eupholie's baneener (I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE), and here's the link: https://x.com/Eupholie_/status/1625184357827883008 (watch her bee animations, please I beg you)!
