What a difference 70 years makes juxtaposition of Citroën DS 19 Berline, 1955 & DS N°8 Étoile, 2025. Stellantis have revealed their new French flagship, an electric SUV Coupé with a remarkably low drag factor of Cx of 0.24. It will de available with 2 or 4-wheel drive transmissions and up to 350hp. The DS 19 was introduced at the Paris Motor Show with a remarkably low Cd of 0.38. In the first 15 minutes of the show, 743 orders were taken, and orders for the first day totalled 12,000. I'm not sure who many orders they have taken for the DS Nº8.

Raymond G. Twyefoort models the latest fashion for the American businessman—an ensemble suit featuring coat and waistcoat in the same color—in this case, mouse gray, January 30, 1929. The waistcoat is double-breasted with a low opening and is snug at the waist. Striped trousers in the same color as the coat are worn without a cuff. Black shoes with buff spats and gray bowler hat complete the look.

how would you depict spats on a black cat? would you have to change the color?

Good question. I can think of a few ways to do this:

Distinguish by form and highlight color.

Distinguish by hue.

Distinguish by texture.

But I'm not very good at drawing texture sorry.

I added a background and foreground as well as textures to EVERYTHING! (You need to zoom in to see them.)

hai! random observation if you're interested: i just noticed in the GO s2 trailer, michael and uriel aren't wearing spats on their shoes like in season 1. (that's especially visible at around 1:42 in the trailer when muriel says "you're a demon!") ps: this is the same anon who asked you on here about a week ago if you'd ever do a face reveal lol

Hiya! :) You are very right, great spotting, thank you! :) They are spatless! :)

Spats, 1960s.

As a mark of respect to P.G. Wodehouse, whose preface to 'Joy in the Morning' invoked a fierce devotion to spats. "It is sad to reflect that a generation has arisen which does not know what spats were. I once wrote a book called Young Men in Spats. I could not use that title today."

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, 1972, by Michelotti. A one-off commissioned by jeweller Pierre Scapula who made sketches which Giovanni Michelotti used as a basis for modifications that included an elongated nose, rear wheel spats and buttresses on the C-pillars.

Why did nobody BREAK the Sugar Bowl? (NCT, that can apply to Book Canon, I guess)

One thing that has been intriguing me lately is the thought of someone breaking the Sugar Bowl - on purpose.

For example, what if Lemony said "Enough is enough!" to Beatrice, outside the Opera House and just hurled it towards the ground? Or if Beatrice decided that this power can not be in the hands of 1 person and takes away the power altogether?

Well, let's collate some facts about the Sugar Bowl to try and determine why this is im/possible:

The Sugar Bowl, and whatever may be inside it, is UNDOUBTEDLY the V.F.D.'s most powerful asset. Tiny, schism-causing little... so-and-so.

The Sugar Bowl is so powerful that it's too much power for one person to wield alone. Maybe Beatrice's original plan was to rotate the volunteer who has it? Work out a secret timetable or something?

The Sugar Bowl has split the organisation, but weirdly, somehow, keeps it together. The Sugar Bowl represents the unity of the V.F.D., how they were once a powerful organisation where everyone got along fine, and are now two sides and a morally grey area... or even non-existent, ad Lemony foreshadows/mentions in THH:P2.

So those are the facts. And in terms of characters, there's only one person who has had AMPLE opportunity to do this - Lemony. He's had the bowl for the longest out of everyone, post-schism.

But here's what I think:

The V.F.D. is obviously an extremely rich and powerful organisation, which is why there's always a fortune to be stolen, be it Baudelaire, Quagmire, Spats, Kornbluth, Winnipeg...

So:

THEORY: Given their riches and assets, if Lemony broke the sugar bowl, V.F.D. could very possibly have gone to WAR.

They have the time, resources and brainpower to make nuclear (or worse) weapons of mass destruction.

This is why no-one, not even Lemony in all of his depression and anger, broke the sugar bowl - it's too big of a risk, not just to members but to the organisation's secrecy. If ANYTHING happens to the bowl, whoever has it knows that Esmé would gather a global army to get it back. And if Esmé makes a big deal, it. Goes. Public.
