HOW TO HAVE THE MOST DOLLY SLUMBER PARTY EVER ;
when i think of the month of october i think of GLAMOROUS parties. and that incorporates girly slumber parties, halloween parties, a LOT of parties. SOO the kind of party that i wanted to focus on in this month's catalogue is slumber parties.
to throw a successful slumber party we first need a plan. make sure that u have refreshments, entertainment, invitations and all of that planned. if u wanna have a SUPER cute slumber party have a theme. some theme ideas can be
♡ victoria's secret (V.S. pj's, lingerie, everyone wears a V.S. robe etc)♡ 2000's ♡ movie based pajamas♡ a color scheme (black and pink is my fave)
and we can't have our girls being bored at our slumber party can we? make sure that u plan fun activities like having a fashion show (playing dress up) playing dress to impress or video games like that, baking sweet treats, karaoke, dolling each other up ETC. for refreshments you could do a snack bar or make mocktails, you could even do a milkshake station!
THE VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW 2024 ANALYSIS ;
🧁 anok yai’s floral number (she’s literally blooming, she looks like a FLOWER. her hair is giving barbie dolll and ultimately she had my favorite look of the whole entire night. the WINGSSS, the shoes everything just goes together beautifully.)
🧁 gigi hadid (she looks like a lavender princess fairy and it looks amazing on her. but PLEASEE why the slick hair?? when i think victorias secret im thinking of bouncy voluminous hair. i LOVE her wings though. they're so big and over the top and i love it)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🧁 imaan hamman (also goes with lisa and anok yai in my top three favorite looks of the night. its so simple but in my opinion her look gives the victorias secret that we all know and love the most.)
🧁 alex consani (i rly rly love baby blue on her, again, please bring back bouncy voluminous hair. and i kinda wish they gave her fluffier wings.)
🧁 lisa’s black lacy number (def one of my favorites on the whole runway. i wish she had black lacy wings instead of the structured ones but easily one of my favorites)
🧁 maty fall (the silk, the feathers, chefs KISS. in his case i think the minimal wings look the prettiest because her outfit is fuller, the delicate wings complement it beautifully.)
OCTOBER BODYCARE, MAKEUP AND FRAGRANCE FAVORITES ;
body care : hello kitty strawberry oat milk body balm from creme, vanilla creme brûlée body lotion from hempz (this one smells like HEAVEN), and fresh cream by philosophy. i rly loved the nyx marshmallow primer and for fragrance the soft and dreamy scent from victorias secret PINK (it just gives me so much nostalgia around this season 💗🍬)
DRESS TO IMPRESS NEW UPDATE ;
dress to impress is every hottie's favorite game, and when DTI dropped its halloween update, everyone including myself was so super STOKED about it. there are new codes and SO many new possibilities unlocked. speaking of codes…💬🎀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❤︎ CH00P1E_1S_B4CK (boots, jacket and skirt)
❤︎ UMOYAE (skater dress)
❤︎ D1ORST4R (star purse and hair bow)
❤︎ S3M_0W3N_Y4Y (axe weapon)
OCTOBER IT GIRL ACTIVITIES ;
like i said in the first section of this month's magazine, i associate october with PARTIES and ik a lot of us are going to halloween parties so i just wanted to share some rules of thumb especially if its ur first party, on how to have fun while also being safe.
make sure that u have a designated driver at all times
don't overdo it with the drinks, thats never hot
make sure u have ice cold water to sip on, on the car ride home
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
be careful, make sure that drinks are poured in front of u or you get them yourself
dont party by yourself GO WITH A FRIEND U TRUST AND STICK TOGETHER
and of course have fun 🍭 this year im dressing up as the white rabbit from alice in wonderland so im super excited to look cute and have fun with my friends
if partying is not ur thing there are SO many fun things that you can do this october. for example binge watching october movies, or doing fall related activities like we talked about in last month's section. some movies that i love to watch in october are
♡ jennifer's body
♡ ginger snaps
♡ scream
♡ the love witch
i dont usually watch things that are too scary which is why my list is so short 😭 i get scared rly easily so i try and watch movies that aren't SO scary but if you like that there are some rly good ones out there.

Pink is for Boys
"Pink or Blue? Which is intended for boys and which for girls? This question comes from one of our readers this month, and the discussion may be of interest to others. There has been a great diversity of opinion on this subject, but the generally accepted rule is pink for the boy and blue for the girl. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." ~ The Infants' Department, June 1918
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Left: The Blue Boy, oil on canvas, c. 1770, by Thomas Gainsborough.
Right: The Pink Boy, oil on canvas, c. 1782, by Thomas Gainsborough.]
Pink is for girls and blue is for boys. But it hasn't always been this way. Colour coding infants as a way of denoting gender was popular in 20th century America. The problem? Pink and blue? Which is for boys and which is for girls?
In 1927 TIME Magazine asked ten of the "leading stores that sell baby equipment" which colour was for which gender. Four stores responded pink for girls and blue for boys; Macy's (Manhattan), Franklin Simon (Manhattan), Wanamaker's (Philadelphia) and Bullock's (Los Angeles). Five stores responded pink for boys and blue for girls; Best's (Manhattan), Marshall Field's (Chicago), Filene's (Boston), Maison Blanche (New Orleans) and The White House (San Francisco). Curiously Halle's (Cleveland) responded that pink was for both boys and girls.
This debate would continue and it wasn't until mid-20th century that pink for girls and blue for boys became firmly cemented in western culture.
However the idea of colour coding infants dates back to the 19th century. According to La cour de Hollande sous le règne de Louis Bonaparte in 1808 in Holland pink was used to announce the birth of a girl and blue a boy. In March 1856 Peterson's Magazine (Philadelphia, USA) advises that the ribbon on a christening cap should be blue for a boy and pink for a girl. On the 23rd of July 1893 the New York Times writes that for baby clothes it's "pink for a boy and blue for a girl!"
Tumblr media
[The Oddie Children, oil on canvas, c. 1789, by William Beechey, via North Carolina Museum of Art.]
During the latter half of the 18th century one of the most popular outfits for young children, regardless of gender, was a white dress with a coloured sash tied around the waist. Pink and blue being the most popular colours, although other colours were worn as well. It would be tempting to assume that the colour of the sash indicated gender but there isn't clear evidence that this was the case. The Oddie Children (above) depicts Sarah, Henry, Catherine, and Jane Oddie. The three girls are all wearing white dresses; two with a blue sash one with a pink sash. We also see Henry Russell (bellow left) wearing a blue sash and Prince William (bellow right) wearing a pink sash.

Right: Prince William, oil on canvas, c. 1767, by Allan Ramsay, via the Royal Collection Trust.]
Pink was just one of the many colours popular in 18th century English womenswear and seems to have stayed popular throughout the century. On the 3rd of January 1712 The Spectator published an article in which a man recalls seeing "a little Cluster of Women sitting together in the prettiest coloured Hoods that I ever saw. One of them was Blew, another Yellow, and another Philomot; the fourth was of a Pink Colour, and the fifth of a pale Green". On the 1st of May 1736 the Read's Weekly Journal, or British Gazetteer reports that the ladies attending the royal wedding wore gowns of "Gold stuffs, or rich Silks with Gold or Silver Flowers, or Pink or White Silks, with either Gold or Silver Netts or Trimmings;" shoes either "Pink, White or Green Silk, with Gold or Silver Lace and braid all over." On the 24th of May 1785 Charles Storer writes to Abigail Adams advising that fashionable colours in English court dress are "pink, lilac, and blue" such "as is worn at Versailles".

In particular pink was popular amongst young women as the colour was associated with youth. Older women who wore pink were mocked as vain for dressing in a way that was seen as improper for their age. On the 31st of January 1754 Lady Jane Coke writes to Mrs. Eyre criticising old women who wear pink:
As for fashions in dress, which you sometimes inquire after, they are too various to describe. One thing is new, which is, there is not such a thing as a decent old woman left, everybody curls their hair, shews their neck, and wears pink, but your humble servant. People who have covered their heads for forty years now leave off their caps and think it becomes them, in short we try to out-do our patterns, the French, in every ridiculous vanity.
Tumblr media
[Folly Embellishing Old Age With the Adornments of Youth, oil on canvas, c. 1743, by Charles-Antoine Coypel, via Master Art.]
For Englishmen acceptable clothing way much more limited. In A Foreign View of England in the Reigns of George I & George II Monsieur César de Saussure writes that Englishmen "do not trouble themselves about dress, but leave that to their womenfolk". He explains:
Englishmen are usually very plainly dressed, they scarcely ever wear gold on their clothes; they wear little coats called "frocks," without facings and without pleats, with a short cape above. Almost all wear small, round wigs, plain hats, and carry canes in their hands, but no swords. Their cloth and linen are of the best and finest. You will see rich merchants and gentlemen thus dressed, and sometimes even noblemen of high rank, especially in the morning, walking through the filthy and muddy streets.
César de Saussure warns that "a well-dressed person in the streets, especially if he is wearing a braided coat, a plume in his hat, or his hair tied in a bow, he will, without doubt, be called "French dog" twenty times perhaps before he reaches his destination" and is not only at risk of "being jeered at" but also "being bespattered with mud, but as likely as not dead dogs and cats will be thrown at him."
Tumblr media
[Reverend Charles Everard Booth, Captain Griffith Booth, and an Unidentified Man playing Billiards, oil on canvas, c. 1775-9, by John Hamilton Mortimer, via the Royal Collection Trust.]
For Englishmen dressing "plainly" mostly meant wearing blacks and browns. In his book on macaroni, Pretty Gentleman, Peter McNeil found that in contrast most English menswear that he describes as generally consisting of "monochrome broadcloth" macaroni wore a variety of colours including green, orange, yellow, violet, red, white, blue, gold, silver and of course pink.
But it's not just the macaroni of the 1770s & 1780s that wore pink. We see pink in descriptions of feminine men's dress (both real and fictional) throughout the 18th century.
On the 2nd of June 1722 Sarah Osborn writes to Robert Byng:
I believe the gentlemen will wear petticoats very soon, for many of their coats were like our mantuas. Lord Essex had a silver tissue coat, and pink color lutestring waistcoat, and several had pink color and pale blue paduasoy coats, which looked prodigiously effeminate.
On the 18th of October 1729 the Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal published a story where an "effeminate" man's clothes were described as follows:
He had a flower'd pink-colour Silk Coat, with a Green-Sattin Waistcoat lac'd with Silver. Velvet Breeches, Clock'd Stockings the Colour of his Coat, Red-heel'd Pumps, a Blue Ribbon at the Collar of his Shirt, and his Sword-Hilt he embrac'd under the Elbow of his Left Arm,
Tumblr media
[Sir Miles Stapylton, 4th Bt of Myton, oil on canvas, c. 1730-35, via Art UK.]
In The Adventures of Roderick Random (1748) the effeminate (and queer coded) Captain Whiffle is described as follows:
our new commander came on board in a ten-oared barge, overshadowed with a vast umbrella, and appeared in everything the reverse of Oakum, being a tall, thin young man, dressed in this manner: a white hat, garnished with a red feather, adorned his head, from whence his hair flowed upon his shoulders, in ringlets tied behind with a ribbon. His coat, consisting of pink-coloured silk, lined with white, by the elegance of the cut retired backward, as it were, to discover a white satin waistcoat embroidered with gold, unbuttoned at the upper part to display a brooch set with garnets, that glittered in the breast of his shirt, which was of the finest cambric, edged with right Mechlin: the knees of his crimson velvet breeches scarce descended so low as to meet his silk stockings, which rose without spot or wrinkle on his meagre legs, from shoes of blue Meroquin, studded with diamond buckles that flamed forth rivals to the sun! A steel-hilted sword, inlaid with gold, and decked with a knot of ribbon which fell down in a rich tassel, equipped his side; and an amber-headed cane hung dangling from his wrist. But the most remarkable parts of his furniture were, a mask on his face, and white gloves on his hands, which did not seem to be put on with an intention to be pulled off occasionally, but were fixed with a curious ring on the little finger of each hand.
Tumblr media
[Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount Irwin and His Wife Anne, oil on canvas, c. 1745, by Philippe Mercier, via Art UK.]
On the 28th of July 1780 the London Courant reports:
A few days ago, a Macaroni made his appearance in the Assembly-room at Whitehaven, in the Following dress: a mixed silk coat, pink sattin waistcoat and breeches, covered with an elegant silver nett, white silk stockings with pink clocks, pink sattin shoes and large pearl buckles, a mushroom coloured stock, covered with a fine point lace; his hair dressed remarkably high, and stuck full of pearl pins.
On the 6th of August 1792 The Weekly Entertainer published Sketches and Portraits form the Life by Simon Tueopnrastus which included the following description:
Mercator was a youth of some genius and expectation, but by a strange perverseness of disposition, notwithstanding the extreme natural stiffness of his limbs, he had acquired an early attachment to the most finical and effeminate finery; so that, while yet a boy, he would exhaust every expedient of a fertile invention to procure a laced waistcoat, or the most foppish toy; would dangle a watch-string, with brass seals, from each fob, at a time when the frugal care of his parents would not permit him to wear a watch in either; and would strut in a fine pair of second-hand pink silk breeches, and a light blue coat, with all the formal dignity of—a soldier upon the parade.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Left: Thomas King in "The Clandestine Marriage", oil on canvas, c. 1792, by Samuel De Wilde, via Yale Center for British Art.
Right: Edward Payne, oil on canvas, by Arthur Devis, via Art UK.]
While pink is mentioned in these descriptions of feminine men's dress it's not singled out as the girl colour the way pink would become in the 20th century. I would argue pink is seen as effeminate not because pink is a uniquely feminine colour but because it was used in fashionable dress. In 18th century England being interested in fashion was seen as an frivolous female trait. Men who showed too much interest in fashion were mocked and ridiculed for their gender nonconformity. "A Man must sink below the Dignity of his Nature, before he can suffer his Thoughts to be taken up on so trivial an Affair, as the Chosing, Suiting, and Adjusting the Adornments of his Person," complains a letter published on the 8th of May 1731 in Read's Weekly Journal, or British Gazetteer:
Decency of Garb ought inviolably to be preserved; nor can there be possibly an Excuse for Dressing like a Merry-Andrew: Rich and coloured Silks are in themselves effeminate, and unbecoming a Man; as are, in short, all Things that discover Dress to have been his Study 'Tis in vain for a Fop of Quality, to think his Title will protect him.

Right: Elizabeth Wrottesley, later Duchess of Grafton, oil on canvas, c. 1764-5, by Thomas Gainsborough, via National Gallery of Victoria.]
English fashion was highly influenced by French fashion. A popular colour scheme in French fashion was green and pink. A famous example of this colour pairing can be seen in François Boucher's portrait of Madame de Pompadour (above left), she is depicted in a green gown with pink bows and flowers. You can see and example of how this style inspired English fashion in Thomas Gainsborough's portrait of Elizabeth Wrottesley (above right), who is depicted in a green gown with a floral pattern adorned with pink, white and green striped bows.

[Left: Sir Harry Fetherstonhaugh, oil on canvas, c. 1776, by Pompeo Batoni, via Wikimedia.
Right: Francis Lind, oil on canvas, c. 1775, by George Romney, via Mackinnon Fine Art.]
Fashionable Englishmen were also inspired by these French designs. Horace Walpole refers to the popularity of the colour combination writing to Lady Ossory on the 19th of February 1774 "If I went to Almack's and decked out my wrinkles in pink and green like Lord Harrington, I might still be in vogue". Almack's is referring to Almack's Assembly Rooms on Pall Mall which is believed to be the inspiration for the Macaroni Club. (see Pretty Gentleman by Petter McNeil p52-55) In a letter to Lord Harcourt on the 27th of July 1773 Walpole writes of "Macaronis lolling out of windows at Almack's like carpets to be dusted."

[Left: Detail of Stephen Fox from The Hervey Conversation Piece, oil on canvas, c. 1738-40, by William Hogarth, via Fairfax House.
Middle: Sir William Jones, oil on canvas, c. 1769, by Francis Cotes, via Art UK.
Right: Portrait of a Gentleman, oil on canvas, by George Romney.]
Men who wore green seem to have been just as much, if not more, at risk of being ridiculed, or even assaulted, for the colour of their clothes as those who wore pink. In Pierre Jean Grosley's A Tour to London (originally published 1772) he recalls traveling with a young English surgeon who was harassed by Londoners due to his green French frock coat:
At the first visit which he paid me in London, he informed me, that, a few days after his arrival, happening to take a walk thro' the fields on the Surry side of the Thames, dressed in a little green frock, which he had brought from Paris, he was attacked by three of those gentlemen of the mobility, who, taking him for a Frenchman, not only abused him with the foulest language, but gave him two or three slaps on the face: "Luckily, added he in French, I did not return their ill language; for, if I had, they would certainly have thrown me into the Thames, as they assured me they would, as soon as they perceived I was an Englishman, if I ever happened to come in their way again, in my Paris dress."

JAY AS YOUR SUGAR DADDY
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
PAIRING: sugar daddy!jay x fem!reader
WARNING: 18+ content, minors dni
Tumblr media
— Jay would start off slow with you, sending you gifts every few days, gifts like imported chocolates, bouquets of flowers, his favourite wines and all the things that you’d even pay the faintest of your attention to. He’d be ready to get it for you in a heartbeat.
— He’d spoil you every chance he gets to. You want something? He’ll get it for you. From renting out whole shops just for you to have a comfortable shopping experience to fucking you in the shop after dismissing the staff, he’d do it all. He’d love to call you his angel, play with you like a doll and treat you like a princess.
— As someone who’s deep into fashion, he’d want you to dress up in the prettiest outfits, he’d select them himself for you, getting you the most expensive pieces from the latest brand collections. Would love it when you’d wear little dresses as it would give him an easy access to your thighs, he’d be the kind to rest his hands there, squeezing them slightly and inching them upwards to toy with your panties, he’d love to see you whimper, a little smirk evident on his face as he’d make you fall apart just on his fingers.
— Taking you out for the most luxurious dates, his private jet always ready to escort you both to your desired destinations, he’d love to drink wine with you, asking you if he can worship your body while being surrounded by the clouds, he’d caress your body, a shiver going down your spine with how cold his rings felt against your warm body, how his thick cock would fill you up, stretching your pussy with pleasure as his chain would dangle near your clavicle, his mouth sucking a pretty mark on your neck. All this before you reach your location.
— He’d take you out to luxury parties with him, placing a protective hand on your waist, the possessiveness of you being his sugar baby would be evident, and he won’t hesitate to show it. He’d maybe go as far as leaving the party to fuck you in his limousine, not caring if he rips off your expensive dress in the process.
— Jay would get the most intricate pieces of lingerie for you, the kind that wouldn’t hide anything, he’d love to touch you all the time, he’s soft when he has to be, but when teased, he’d not hesitate to show you who the incharge is. He loves praising you, he loves groaning near your ear when you ride his cock with your skirt lifting up your waist.
— Expect him to have a room full of sex toys, everything he’d ever wish to try, he’d love to cuff your wrists with a pink handcuff, blindfolding you and overdosing you with all the pleasure he can provide, your skin burning with each area he touches, he’d make sure you feel comfortable with him, but he’d also make sure to fuck you dumb. He’d have silk sheets in his room, black ones, and he’d have a big mirror on the celing for you to watch exactly how he thrusts into your cunt and makes you cum all over his cock.

Skyh Foreman-McGuire.
Tumblr media
she/her.
TW : mention of drugs/smoking.
– Polish-American, adopted in Oregon.
– Cancer woman.
– Game developer.
• don’t even try to understand what is going on inside her head. Many have tried… they all failed and left very disturbed.
• her thought process is so unpredictable, it’s entertaining. You don’t even question it anymore, you just follow its groove.
• always has flawless eyeliner with the prettiest little details.
• doesn’t really care much about fashion; she just throws on whatever she finds most comfortable.
• wants to live in the woods, become a fairy and never interact with anybody ever again.
• when you met her, you genuinely thought she was on something – but no. You really couldn’t believe it when she said she doesn’t smoke/use drugs of any kind.
• though when you hang out with her, you feel like you’re under substances lmao. Skyh is a whole hazard–
• has a lot of ear piercings. You wonder how her ears haven’t fallen off yet tbh.
• put a pen or some paint brushes in her hands and she becomes someone else – it’s without a doubt the only moment you get to see her focused expression. She creates works of art like it’s natural to her, like she doesn’t even have to think; she just does.
• sometimes karter and her meet at his place just to sit in his room and draw or paint in silence for hours. That’s how they bond.
• strongly rejects her parents’ desires and ways. They don’t even try to argue with her anymore. They, just like everyone else, abandoned the idea of ever being able to grasp what she’s thinking about.
• though people seem to view her as an alien (you do too, kind of), she gets you like nobody else does and, for some reason, she feels like you get her too; like you somehow always find a way to see eye to eye with her.
• for this reason, you’re her alien. That’s how she calls you.
• you’re saved as ‘my little UFO´ in her phone–
• you’re her first love. Nobody really ever understood Skyh or even managed to grab her attention long enough before. You’re very special to her.
• frogs and bees and spiders are her besties.
• absolutely obsessed with bugs of all kinds.
• big fan on skinny dipping. Her favorite activity is undressing herself, undressing you, then jump into any icy lake she finds.
• likes to lie on the ground. in the snow, grass, cold parquet; pretty much anywhere.
• only gets talkative when you two are alone. She doesn’t like crowds and doesn’t bother to try to interact with people in general. She usually remains quiet when her siblings are around.
• has a very hard time trusting people (she has more faith in bugs than any human ), but she does trust the good hearts of her siblings and you, of course.
• into journaling. Whenever she gets the chance, she sits down and draws and writes about little things that she likes, new insects she discovered, random(like, very random) thoughts and cute stuff you did during the day. <3
• brutally honest. like. brutally.
• a human gremlin. that’s the best skyh description.
• addicted to tea. strongly believes that tea is a remedy for everything. Not once has it happened that you visited her house and she didn’t offer you some warm, relaxing, delicious tea.
• girl was born tired lmao.
• has a huge collection of buttons. They kind of look like eyes; she likes it. She won’t care about how cute or how well-made a shirt is…. but if it has some interesting-looking buttons, oh lord–
• could live her whole life only eating donuts.
• one thing to love about her is how open minded she is. Definitely not the type to judge or make faces at concepts or ideas she doesn’t know/doesn’t like. openness&understanding 🤝 skyh.
• loves when it’s raining. she insists to go outside and dance until the sky is dry again. (don’t worry about her getting sick, her system is as mysterious as her, she’ll be fine)
• changes her nail polish everyday. She loves to paint your nails – if you’re into that, of course.
• suuuuuper clumsy. You can’t trust her with a glass, she’ll break it. No matter how; she’ll find a way to break it.
• plays minecraft 24/7.
• started coding at 14 out for boredom, ended up creating games for a living and becoming one heck of a hacker. i mean- you didn’t see that. uh–
• « You ever think about what a playmobil would look like running ? Cause, like… they don’t have knees. How do they go in the movie, hold on–»
• yes, she did watch the movie to have an answer.
• very good at baking, she learned it by watching Oliver hurry happily in the kitchen when they used to live together.
• doesn’t drive, by choice. never even learned how to – she doesn’t see the appeal.
• « I’lllllll…. take the bus? that works just fine? »
• thinks about going mushroom hunting with you at least twice a day.
• goes limp in your arms when you braid her long, pale blue hair.
• pretends she doesn’t like when mickayla forces her to go thrift shopping together, but she’s living for the intriguing rings and necklaces she might find.
• stubborn as hell. and if she says no, then it’s no.
• unintentionally funny. accidental CLOWN.
• not jealous at all. like at ALL.
• « uh ? you’re going to a party ? yeah, cool. uh ? other people ? ok. me, worried ? what do you mean ? well, you’re my partner, aren’t you ? then we’re good. »
• love languages : (silent)quality time & physical touch. She’ll grab your hand to walk around the forest, hug you when you’re both resting under a tree, brush your hair out of your face when you’re not paying attention… and it’s always a shock when people see her be so fond and delicate with you. because she never gets near other people, EVER.
• heck, her siblings were mortified when she said she was dating someone. like. how did you even manage to– never mind. they’re all very happy for you two.
• basically in her own world and oh lucky you, she lets you in too.<3
• « I wonder what color is your soul… will you let me see ? »

Love her or hate her, Barbie is iconic. I have no clue why she was stereotyped as an airheaded bimbo, when canonically she has been a doctor, astronaut, scientist, etc. Like most girls, I have fond memories of playing dolls with friends, and not-so-fond memories of siblings, cousins, etc ruining my toys, cutting their hair, covering them with mud, tattooing them with sharpies, etc.
In girl scouts, I remember each troop had to represent a different country/culture for world tolerance day or some such. So our project was singing the Barbie song in German! I still kinda remember the lyrics. 🎼Ich bin ein Barbie frau, en einer Barbie velt...🎶
On a side note, I also remember our troop representing the UK one year, because I was obsessed with The Beatles and JRR Tolkien. Good times, good times. I was a weird, nerdy kid, and I haven't changed much over the years. This is kinda embarrassing, but I played with dolls well into middle school. What can I say, I loved making up stories in my own imaginary fantasy world. Still kind of do, as a writer.
I had a Pocahontas Barbie... Hip to be Square Barbie...Of course I had the mermaid that changed the color of her hair and tail, depending on if the water was hot or cold...I had a slumber party Barbie with a soft body like a stuffed animal, so you could snuggle in bed. She also came with accessories like an inflatable chair, a box of pizza, a houseplant, and a globe. Perfect for 90s sleepovers!
One Christmas, I was gifted a special edition millennium Barbie for the year 2000. I was too young to understand collectibles, all I knew was it was the prettiest doll I'd ever seen, with her fancy gold dress and matching Christmas ornaments, and couldn't wait to play with it, so I didn't understand why everyone was so shocked when I opened the box and did just that.
I had a few of the Mattel pets, including a fluffy white cat, and a fancy Collie dog. Of course I had the sparkly white unicorn/pegasus horse with wings AND a horn, and a long pretty mane and tail that you could brush, braid, and style. I had a ton of horses in general. Including My Little Pony. And lots of dolls, not just Barbie, but also Polly Pocket, random stuffed animals, etc. Another random sidenote... I remember I used to watch a lot of PBS as a kid... I was fascinated by The Nightly Business Report... So I had my own version, The Nightly Horse Report, and all the new anchors, journalists, and correspondents were horses... Facepalm. 🤦🏽‍♀️
But in high school, I was an edgy, angsty teenager. I rejected Barbie as a sexist symbol of rigid gender roles and corporate greed. One of my aquaintances had dismembered Barbie body parts dangling from her backpack, which I thought was pretty cool. I also took the Barbies from a classmate's diorama when they didn't want them anymore. I don't know what book they were reading in the other Senior AP Literature Class, but it must have been a dark one, because the Barbies were scantily clad in plain white robes/togas, their hands were bound, they were blindfolded, and they were hanging from nooses. Yeah. Yikes. Anyway I used them for home decor in my college dorm, and even in my first apartment. Like I said, I only seem to get even weirder and creepier with age!
Then again, when I was a bratty teenage girl, my idea of feminism was misguided. In retrospect, I actually embodied a lot of internalized misogyny and toxic femininity myself. Joining the GSA (Gay Straight Alliance), poetry club, yearbook, and other extracurricular activities helped me keep an open mind and learn better social skills. But still, one of my favorite computer games at that age, was called Feed the Model, where you crash a haute couture high society fashion catwalk, and you throw tomatoes and other food at the model, hoping some of it lands in her mouth and she'll finally eat something for once, lol. Yes it was hilarious, but also problematic. I also frequented several feminist websites, including About Face and Adios Barbie. Again, I meant well, but the misandry was a little bit hypocritical.
Just like the Barbie brand is taking affirmative action to be more inclusive, I also eventually outgrew my "Hear me roar" phase, and embraced a more modern, intersectional sort of feminism and gender equality. Including a shameless appreciation for girly hobbies, such as dolls. Even in college, a roommate gave me a special Bjork Barbie with a handmade dress, custom haircut, and face painted with nail polish. He customized it himself, and it looked awesome and unique! Again, that Bjork Barbie remained dorm/apartment decor well into my mid twenties.
Now I'm in my 30s. I work at an antique store, and I do sell expensive vintage collectible Barbies to wealthy connoisseurs, as well as the cheap ones to little kids who only have a few bucks of allowance to buy used toys from secondhand thrift stores. So Barbie is still very much a part of my life on a daily basis. Grown adults pay hundreds of dollars for the right doll. I've had deep conversations with coworkers and customers about the magic of imagination, the nostalgic sense of wonder, and the simplicity yet complexity of children at play.
So I'm totally going to see that freaking Barbie movie, damn it! Who's coming with me?

truly,, i will never ever get over the disappointment of being transgender. i have no regrets in transitioning,, and truly i believe i never will. i am being true to the knots that make up my body and for that i will always love myself. i feel good in my body. i do not feel like i am destroying myself or pretending to be someone i'm not. but i will do the same as my family and mourn the loss of a daughter.
i never was a very pretty girl. "you look so much better as a boy anyways" i get what you're trying to say but truly it reinforces the thiught that i was never really liked as a kid. i was the ugly duckling. even now, had i not transitioned, at most i'd be an average girl. below average even. my feautures were always masculinized and though I appreciate it now, it wasn't what i needed to hear as a girl trying to navigate her life.
there are some days where i 'mourn' the loss of my girlhood. it's a normal occurence. girlhood. i missed out on so much. i will continue to miss out. i won't get to wear the puffy skirts i've always liked. i won't get to wear acrylic nails and eyelashes and crop tops or cute outfits. "clothing/presentation has nothing to do with gender" very true statement. however it's the fact that i won't be the girl i want to be. i will be a guy in a dress. i will be a guy wearing eyelashes and acrylic nails and totally baddie outfits. but never a pretty girl.
sometimes when i go shopping for clothing secondhand , or at liquidation store, or even in the clearance isles of stores, i look for clothing i like in the women's section. not because i am a woman but because I love fashion. because i also see the girl version if myself wearing it. so i collect clothing that i may only wear in the comfort of my home because i have to fulfill the dream of femininity that i once had. i'm okay with that.
I don't mind that i will be a guy in a dress. What I care about is the fact that I will never experience these things as a girl. Sleepovers with my girlfriends, shopping for makeup, thrifting stuff that I could wear and not feel ashamed about. i could be the prettiest girl ever. but i will never be. and that's okay.

Skull’s Gem ch 2: Love Is Hard
After her visit to Po Town, Sapphire returned home and flopped down on Kalani’s couch, screaming into one of the throw pillows.
Kalani: That doesn’t sound like a happy business woman. What’s wrong?
Sapphire started explaining but her words were muffled by the pillow. Kalani chuckled as he sat next to her.
Kalani: Can’t hear you, sis.
Sapphire sighs as she turns her head.
Sapphire: The man I’ve been in love with for over a decade is now the leader of the team that’s been bothering trial goers.
Kalani: Guzma’s Team Skull’s boss?
Sapphire: Yep. *sigh* I always wondered what happened to him when I left Alola.
Kalani sighed and patted her leg.
Kalani: Well, sis, I’m afraid I can’t offer much in the way of advice, other than to be patient and follow your heart.
Sapphire: Easy for you to say. Your crush wasn’t a “crime” boss.
Kalani: No, just a hot-headed, head-strong researcher. Love is never easy, Sapph. Don’t give up on Guzma because of Team Skull. Everything will work out in the end.
Kalani stood up and kissed her head then went to his room. Sapphire sighed again as she got up and went to her room. She sat at her desk and started sketching until she heard a small ping on her window. Sapphire stared at the window in confusion for a few seconds, then turned back to her desk…until another ping sounded on the glass. Then another and another and another. Sapphire sighed as she got up and walked to her window, ready to scold the local kids for playing pranks, but froze when she saw the white of Guzma’s hair reflecting the moonlight as he stood on the beach. A light blush dusted her cheeks as she left the house and approached him and his Golisopod.
Sapphire: How’d you know where I was?
Guzma: A) Yer family has lived in this house for years, and b) Goli’s a master tracker. He remembers yer scent.
Sapphire giggled as Golisopod nuzzled her, tickling her with his antennae.
Sapphire: Hi, Goli. I missed you too.
Sapphire started petting Golisopod and Guzma just watched her with a small smile on his face. Sapphire noticed and blushed.
Sapphire: Guzma?
Guzma quickly turns away from her, clears his throat and scratches the back of his head.
Guzma: So, uh…w-wanna take a walk and catch up? We didn’t really have a chance earlier.
Sapphire: Yeah, I’d love to.
The two began walking along the beach as Golisopod swam in the ocean next to them. Sapphire smiled as she let her Primarina and Vaporeon out to play with him.
Sapphire: You did a wonderful job training him.
Guzma: Yeah, the two of us are thick as thieves. Goli’s my best friend.
Sapphire: *smirk* Oh, is he now?
Guzma: My best Pokemon friend, sassy pants.
Sapphire: *giggle* I know. I’m just teasing you.
Sapphire smiled as she began collecting seashells while they walked.
Guzma: So, ya managed to achieve yer dream. Big time fashion designer, huh?
Sapphire: Yeah. I still can’t believe it’s real sometimes. It’s amazing. I love seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they wear my clothes. It makes me so happy.
Guzma: Ya’ve certainly come a long way. Remember when ya blew up Ma’s sewin’ machine?
Sapphire: Arceus, yes. I felt so bad. We spent weeks doing odd jobs to pay her back.
Guzma: And then we ended up givin’ her more than she needed…
Sapphire: …And she used the extra to buy me my first sewing machine.
Guzma: I remember the day she gave it to ya. Yer eyes sparkled like the prettiest sapphires I’d ever seen.
Both of them blushed dark red and Guzma cleared his throat as he rubbed the back of his neck.
Guzma: U-Uh…that is…ya were just real excited to get the sewin’ machine.
Sapphire smiled as they reached their favorite spot on the beach and started skipping rocks.
Guzma: Bet ya got a pretty boy boyfriend waitin’ for ya somewhere.
Sapphire: Ha, no, not anymore. I dated a guy in the Hoenn region for a bit but my heart wasn’t in it. I knew I wouldn’t live anywhere other than the Alola region. I may travel all over the world, but Alola will always be home.
Guzma watched as her midnight black hair blew softly in the wind.
*GUZMA POV*
Damn. How could she have gotten even more beautiful since I last saw her? Duh, Guzma, she grew up. She’s not the same little girl ya knew. Now she’s…
Sapphire: Hey, Goli! You hungry!? Got your favorite berries!
…She’s perfect. No! Stop that, Guzma! Ya can’t give yerself false hope like that. Ya ain’t good enough for her. Yer a no good degenerate failure and she’s a successful business woman. Ya can’t get in the way of that.
*NO POV*
Sapphire: Guzma?
Sapphire snapped her fingers in front of Guzma’s face and he snapped out of his daze.
Guzma: Huh? Sorry, did ya say somethin’?
Sapphire: Are you okay? You were spacier than a Psyduck.
Guzma: Yeah. Totally fine. Nothin’ to worry about.
Sapphire sighed as she stared at the moon. There were so many questions she wanted to ask him but she didn’t dare. Not now, anyway.
Sapphire: So, Team Skull, huh?
Guzma: Yep. A bunch of kids who got told they’d have no future by shitty grown ups.
Sapphire: That’s horrible!
Guzma: That’s why we chose Po Town. Keep those people out and hang out with our Pokemon and each other. We take care of ourselves, our Pokemon and each other.
Sapphire: I just don’t understand how people could be so cruel, especially to kids.
Guzma: Some people, especially grownups, will surprise ya, Sapph.
Guzma spaces out again and Sapphire looks up at his face, studying his features and attempting to get a read on his emotions, but he was too guarded. She sighed and put on his cheek, snapping him back to reality. Guzma blushed as he looked down into her eyes.
Guzma: S-Sapph?
Sapphire: I know there’s a lot you aren’t telling me, and I won’t force you to, but I want you to know that I’ll always be here if you need to talk.
Guzma: Sapphire.
Guzma moved a strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear, making her blush.
Sapphire: Guzma?
Without answering her or breaking eye contact, Guzma put his hands on her waist and lifted her off her feet. Sapphire’s face turned bright red as she put her hands on his shoulders.
Sapphire: G-Guzma!? Wh-What!? What are you-!?
He stops her by bringing her face down to his and kissing her lips with a force that could rival that of the waves crashing behind them. Sapphire’s eyes widened in shock before softening and closing as she wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Guzma snapped back to reality, broke the kiss and set Sapphire on her feet.
Sapphire: Guzma?
Guzma: Sorry. I…I gotta go. Goli, come on!
Guzma ran off, Golisopod running after him.
Sapphire: Guzma, wait!
Sapphire watched as he ran away, confused about what just happened. She sighed, recalled Primarina and Vaporeon, and went home. Kalani was pacing outside of the house and waiting for her when she got back.
Kalani: There you are. A note would have been nice. Are you okay?
Sapphire: Y-Yeah. F-Fine.
Kalani: You sure?
Sapphire: Yeah, just…confused. Guzma came by and we went for a walk. We talked while our Pokemon played and then…he kissed me.
Kalani: He kissed you!?
Sapphire: Yeah and then he ran off. He’s guarded, too guarded, so it’ll be hard to get close to him again.
Kalani: But if there’s anyone who can break through his walls, it’s you, baby sis.
Sapphire: It’s not going to be easy, is it?
Kalani: Like I said, love never is. Come on. I’ll make us some Tapu Cocoa before bed.
The Kukui siblings went inside and shared a cup of Tapu Cocoa before going to bed. Several weeks passed and Sapphire hadn’t heard from Guzma since that night on the beach. She hadn’t had time to dwell on it though because she had received a large commission from a woman named Wicke who worked at the Aether Foundation, a Pokemon research facility and safe haven floating on a lone island in the middle of the Alola region. Sapphire packed up the last of the order and loaded it onto a pallet.
Kalani: Are your Pokemon going to be able to carry that?
Sapphire: I have Salamence, Charizard, Pidgeot, and Aerodactyl. They’ll be fine.
Sapphire let out her Pokemon and tied ropes to them and the pallet.
Kalani: Hey, don’t forget about the lantern festival on Ula’Ula Island tomorrow. I heard there’s going to be a Mantine Surfing competition before the main festivities.
Sapphire: I know. I’ll be ready. My kimono is just about done.
Kalani: And?
Sapphire: And yours and Talia’s are already done and hanging in your closet.
Kalani: And?
Sapphire: And I promise to stay close to you two so that creeps don’t hit on me.
Kalani: That’s my girl. Go be a business woman.
Sapphire hugged Kalani then climbed onto Salamence’s back and the four Pokemon flew off. Sapphire smiled as she enjoyed the breeze while they flew. The Pokemon soon arrived at Aether Paradise, landing safely and safely dropping the shipment. Sapphire gave each of the Pokemon a berry and recalled them.
???: Sapph?
Sapphire turned around and saw Guzma, Plumeria and a few of the Team Skull grunts leaving the Aether building.
Sapphire: Guzma.
Guzma: What are you doing here?
Sapphire: Dropping off an order for a Miss Wicke. You?
Guzma: Job opportunity.
???: Oh, goodness! Is that Wicke’s order!?
Sapphire and Guzma turned to see a beautiful woman dressed in all white with long blonde hair approaching them.
Sapphire: Yes, it is. And you are?
Woman: Oh, how rude of me. My name is Lusamine. I’m the president of Aether Paradise.
Sapphire: It’s nice to meet you, ma’am. I’m-
Lusamine: Sapphire Kukui, owner of Gemstone Designs. Wicke’s assistant couldn’t stop raving about you. Guzma, I hope you haven’t been bothering our guest. That would be quite rude.
Guzma blushed and stammered as Sapphire giggled.
Sapphire: No, ma’am. Guzma and I are childhood friends. He was just saying hello.
Lusamine: Oh. I see. Well then, Guzma, why don’t you and your team start helping the others carry these boxes in and I will give Sapphire a tour?
Sapphire: Oh, I wouldn’t want to be in the way.
Lusamine: Nonsense. Come along now.
Lusamine walked back inside and Sapphire smiled.
Sapphire: She seems nice.
Guzma: Yeah, but she can be impatient. You better go. We’ll catch up later.
Sapphire nodded and followed Lusamine. She looked around in awe as they walked through the facility.
Sapphire: This place is amazing.
Lusamine: Isn’t it? We research and cure hurt Pokemon so we decided to build areas for different environments.
Sapphire: From a business standpoint, I’m glad to see so many Pokemon here, but on a personal standpoint, it’s sad.
Lusamine: Yes. It’s hard to tell if the Pokemon we come across were hurt by other Pokemon or by humans, but we shelter and treat them all the same.
*GUZMA POV*
We finished bringin’ in the boxes that Sapphire brought so I went lookin’ for her. I was a real jerk, kissin’ her then runnin’ away and ghostin’ her like I did. I found her on the second floor at the conservation area, playin’ with the Pokemon. Her smile could be seen from space, judgin’ how bright it is.
Lusamine: It’s rude to stare, Guzma.
I stood up straight when Lusamine walked up next to me.
Guzma: S-Sorry, boss lady.
Lusamine: So, when did you realize you were in love with her?
My face heats up as it turns red.
Guzma: Why do people keep sayin’ that!? First Plumes and now you!
Plumeria: When they were teenagers.
I turned to Plumes and glared at her.
Lusamine: Young love is precious, but I do have to ask, Guzma. Why haven’t you confessed yet?
Guzma: *sigh* She’s too good for me. Ya know my story, boss, my darkness. She doesn’t and she’d leave the second she found out. Besides, look at me. I don’t fit into her world.
Lusamine: So, you’re giving up without even attempting to fight? I’m surprised with you, Guzma. You wouldn’t be where you are now if you hadn’t fought to get here, so why stop now?
Guzma: I-
Lusamine: You’re stubborn and gruff, yes, but you deserve love too. Instead of running away, you should fight to show that.
Lusamine walked away as I rubbed the back of my neck while returnin’ my gaze to Sapphire. Should I really give it a shot?
*NO POV*
Sapphire was escorted outside to the landing pad by Lusamine, followed by Guzma and Team Skull.
Sapphire: Thank you for the tour, Miss Lusamine, and for letting me play with the Pokemon.
Lusamine: Anytime, Sapphire. Don’t wait until our next order to visit, either. Our doors are always open for you.
Sapphire: That’s very kind of you, thank you. Oh, and don’t worry about placing anymore orders. I’m going to start making a personal donation to Aether Paradise like I do for the Paniola Ranch nursery.
Lusamine: Oh, how sweet of you! I need to borrow a moment of your time before you head off, dear. Step over here with me.
Lusamine and Sapphire walked away from Team Skull a bit until they were out of earshot.
Lusamine: Sapphire, you truly are a gem, and I’m not the only one who sees it, don’t you?
Sapphire blushed as they both looked at Guzma.
Lusamine: He’s afraid of dimming your shine. He won’t allow himself to approach the relationship more than he already has. If you’re willing to fight for the relationship, it’ll be up to you to make the next move.
Sapphire: Will it be worth fighting for?
Lusamine: If it’s true love, then it always will be. Especially when you have to fight to break through his walls.
Lusamine smiled at her as she walked away while Guzma walked over to her.
Guzma: So, um…hi.
Sapphire smiled up at him.
Sapphire: Hi.
Guzma: Look, I’m…sorry for leavin’ ya the way I did that night on the beach. I was…
Sapphire: Scared?
Guzma: *blush* N-No! Ya boi ain’t scared of nothin’!
Sapphire giggled and stood on her toes to kiss his cheek. Even slouched, he was too tall for her. She smirked as she looked up at him again.
Sapphire: Alright, big bad boss, if you’re really not scared, prove it. I’ll be on Ula’Ula Island tomorrow night for the lantern festival. If you really aren’t scared, find me.
Sapphire called Salamence and got on his back.
Sapphire: Oh, and stop by Nanu’s before you head home. He has a package for you.
Salamence took off, leaving Guzma to stare at them as they flew away.
Guzma: Alright, Sapph. We’ll see what happens tomorrow night.
TO BE CONTINUED…

I feel like this needs to be said for everyone doubting themselves at any time with anything they do. (And I hope I make sense) This can be applied to EVERY interest one may have (but NOT including immoral shit. I do not support murder or anything criminal as a hobby. Just needed to clearify that. Moving on!)
We do our hobby because we like doing it. We appreciate the struggle and can be proud when we have finished the project.
Naturally we love to share that with others. Hear their thoughts on it. Hopefully get them hyped on it like we are. Receive praise for the work we put into it. It is nice to be known for something you do and are good at according to our interpretation of being skilled or "talented". There is no shame in it but people can be fucking cruel and some idiots just love to break others for a quick laugh.
Suddenly you are cringe when you do incredible stuff but don't have the community yet to back you up with views and likes and compliments. Now, any skill has become a contest for who is the prettiest or who makes it look the prettiest or who makes it sound the prettiest.
Niche things became mainstream. New things are being changed to fit that wave of a trend for some quick money grab.
Greed has killed passion.
We got addicted to the high of receiving praise in the hundreds to thousands to millions with just the press of a button. A button you can click on accident. A millisecond of barely an effort that has no character, no opinion, no thought and should have no weight to how we feel about the finished projects.
Sure, we use it to measure how valuable we think our skill is to the outside world. To everyone around us. To those living their own life and experiences. To the taste of people we may not have wanted to cater to. To a taste the project was never created for. But it has an opinion. And it's gonna use it.
In a lot of cases I see the doubt in the people who want to make it in the art world but simply get screwed over by the digital systems that helps so many other things become mainstream and the norm. And that shit is exhausting, never being first choice. Never being picked. And the few that pick you seem laughable in comparison to the big guys you may actually outdo with your creations.
What I am trying to say is that, if you create to be recognized and known for it, for the likes, for the fame- and you make it? Good for you. -if you fail at it? Quit it. You are not passionate about what you do. Maybe you even hate it. It can be incredible and some people will hate the loss of you creating things that others are passionate about. But still. Quit it. You are only hurting yourself. Choosing a path to get to fame- that thing you actually want- that you cannot stand is not helping you or the people in your life.
If you create because you appreciate the lows and are proud of the results. Get giddy when you get that idea and scrable to collect your materials. When you get lost in your own little bubble and forget time or that you had not eaten a thing for the last 10 hours. If you'd rather die than lose your vision or be unable to listen to music ever again or cannot draw or write. When you'd try everything in your power to find a way to still practice makeup or fashion or interior design even if all that's left is a brain with ideas, desperate to manifest them into something everyone can see, while being stuck in a decaying body. Imprisioned in your own flesh and bones. And you are not too focuses on all that you lost with it but instead cry for never being able to dance again or sculpt or simply making a little paper star to gift to someone retail worker who got yelled at by their boss again. If you'd rather die- do not quit.
Do not quit.
Never fucking quit.
Our days are numbered. We grow older and become more frail. We will be at that point eventually. Do you really want to mourn the ideas lost in your skull, stuck in your brain that will never see the light of day? Would you regret having silenced yourself because you didn't reach a silly little number of people you cannot even confirm are real (that is what we are online. A number. A made up name. And most of the time just some blank profile with nothing to show for itself.) I would. And I am pretty sure you would too.
If you create, and put your own needs to the side to create for anybody but yourself- take a breather. Throw your phone to the side. Go out and buy your favorite snack and drink and go on a walk. Sit outside and observe your surroundings. Be aware of what you see. Talk to yourself. Point out that the grass looks really soft and cozy. Or that that color is really pretty. Or count the rings of a cut down tree. Marvel at the age it reached. Wonder why it was cut. Give it 5 minutes of care that you wish you'd get from others. It sounds silly and it will feel silly but it will distract you or even make you aware of thoughts your brain was hiding in a corner.
If you can't find yourself enjoying anything you do, roll with the first ideas you get wondering what you used to do when you were a child. Board games? Dress up? Play make belief with some figurines? If you have it at home you are good to go to be cringe in the safety of your room. Be ridicolous! The sillier the better. Your goal is to reach a state of giddyness, happy stimming and your eyes glossing over, maybe even crying from the overwhelm of happy little feelings. Or go out and visit your favourite toy store with the intention to spend 20 bucks. Look at the toys you used to see as a kid still being sold years later. Look at the new toys and extended lines that were added into it. And if you are unsure about being there to buy toys for yourself then you are the fun aunty looking for a gift for the niece's birthday.
Important is to distance yourself from it for however long you think you need to. Do other things you know will bring you joy. You are in no rush to get back to creating in that specific hobby. After all, you are creating meals and outfits every day! Creativity needs a nap too sometimes.
Just never quit.
We all hate to lose. Hate to depart. And even when you choose to lose to greed in regards to that specific interest, maybe it was not worth fighting for. Maybe it is just a stop on the journey you want to stay at a while longer. Simply have fallen into the trap of tour guides instead of venturing out on your own. The possibility of doing so, getting lost or finding your connection back to the group are still as present as when you first arrived. All it takes is a choice or a happy little accident. Just never stop moving.
So?
Will you lose your passion to your greed?
Or will you make them work together and face the dangers of other people's greed that try and consume you.
The battle never stops. Greed will always be our threat. Our opponent. But it makes a difference if it is our own greed betraying us or somebody else's who has yet to realize they are at war with themselves and the people around them.
And that is ok. It has always been ok until someone decided it wasn't pretty to them. But it doesn't have to be pretty.
It just has to be real.
Low key feel like once I complete the last two requests that came in I may quit writing. My stuff just isn’t getting much traction.
Thoughts?

Haunt Couture diaries
Clawdeena on Instagram read all the diares and these are the most important parts:
All diaries write about their fearleading practice, Cleo cancels it two times
Shopping at the maul
Organising a fashion show called February Frights, to help fund the new fearleading uniforms
Clawd and Cleo are in bad moods
They take a care package (scare-package) to Cleo
Her telling them that she and Deuce broke up
Cleo helping Frankie figure out the dress printer 
They are wearing their HC looks at the fashion show
Their bios are the same, except for Draculaura’s age which is 1600 (still 1599 on the MH website)
I think the font is the same they used in the old diaries
Clawdeen’s diary:
Instagram is mentioned (as a pun, Instagrim), her username is @howlcouture
Draculaura and Clawd post pictures from their dates on Instagrim
Her Mom, Dad, Clawd, Clawdia (who is still in Londoom) and Howleen are mentioned
She wants to update the design of the fearleading uniforms
Clawdeen and Draculaura studied together at Drac’s place
She secretly liked the vegan sliders Draculaura made
She gives fashion tips at the Maul to random monsters
She spent a lot of money on her Back to Ghoul fashion trip, her Dad is still growling about that
She loves full moon nights with her family, her Dad grills, she races and plays casketball with her siblings, there’s s’mores and campfire where her parents snuggle :)
She says Cleo makes her mad, but she is her beast-friend :’)
She is running the fashion show
Cleo designed a fire(?) outfit, which Clawdeen loved and Cleo was smug about that
“There’s always fresh drama brewing in the couldron at MH.”
“Scares and scandals ahead.”
Frankie’s diary:
She has a crush on a guy who she calls Seven, who is a football player and has a cool accent (he is a character who’s only mentioned in diaries)
Her Mom, Dad and Watzit are mentioned, Frankenstein encourages her to make something for the science fair 
She is losing limbs, being a klutz as usual :)
Draculaura gave her the idea to make a printer that prints clothes
She can’t figure out how to make the machine work
She zapped Deuce’s locker, “who was weirdly distracted and the door narrowly missed his snakes and they hissed in annoyance”
She dropped out of the science fair, as she couldn’t make the printer work
Her favourite monster is her Dad :)
Nefera is mentioned, she’s still mean lol
“If I ever get a sister...” Alivia doesn’t exist!
“Being in or out of a relationship doesn’t define any ghoul.”
Cleo gave her Godess Tayet’s thread which made the printer work
Frankenstein fistbumped Cleo “which did not go over well” lol
Mr. Hackington and Ghoulia are mentioned
Cleo designed her skirt
"A not-so-secret admirer” tucked a note into her locker saying: “I love the way you’re put together. Lass(?) Hoping to fang out soon with the prettiest ghoul ever.”
Draculaura’s diary:
She still writes in the MH newspaper, which is still called The Gory Gazette :’)
She wrote an article about plant based meat
Count Fabulous and Dracula are mentioned
She cooked a lot of things
She caught Clawdeen taking a second bite of the vegan sliders “hehe”
VAMP: Vampires Advocating Meatless Proteins
Clawd and her are still together
Draculaura senses that there is something going on with Clawd
Dracula ate her vegan vampire chili by accident and got mad at her for not labelling it properly, but he ate the whole thing lol
Clawd refused to tell her what’s wrong, saying it’s private and he promised he won’t tell
Count Fabulous collected bugs to cheer her up
Deuce told Clawd about the brake up, Cleo and Deuce asked him to keep it a secret
She met Clawd at Coffin Bean and they made up
Headmistress Bloodgood is mentioned, she liked the fashion show!
So far it seems like they completely threw out the reboot MH story and characters and are working with the 2010-15 og MH lore!!!
I’m very excited to read Cleo’s diary, it’s going to explain so much!!!!!!

okokok but can we see toman,izana and kakuchou reaction to wakasa and their big sis(reader) getting married
I think I got what you were saying but I put them into 2 different mini hcs - one with Toman's big sis, and the other with 'Zana and Kaku's big sis~ Check the masterlist for other posts about this series!
Here comes the bride - but not all of her little brothers seem very happy with her choice in husband
Characters - All of Toman, Izana Kurokawa, Kakuchou Hitto (ft. Haitani Brothers, Wakasa Imaushi)
FEMALE READER
Masterlist
Tumblr media
TOMAN BOYS
✰ to start - the moment they accidentally found out you were dating the older haitani brother, they flipped the fuck out and literally went to go kick his ass
✰ tbh you knew the only ones who stood a relative chance against ran and rindou, who would definitely fight as a unit, would be mikey and draken
✰ you manage to convince them to calm down and spoke to them calmly - “i love ran a lot and i understand you guys may have issues with him, but please don’t let that force me to pick and choose”
✰ after that, they decided passive aggressiveness was their new collective strategy
✰ also, for anyone curious to how they found out - they found you both on a date (with rindou third wheeling, ofc) hand-in-hand, ngl baji thought you were being kidnapped and nearly fucking drop kicked the siblings
✰ you and ran had dated for nearly 5 years before he proposed (for reference: you would be 24 and ran would be 23) and you said yes with so much enthusiasm that not even the ever-grumpy mikey could tell you it was a bad idea
✰ you had the 100% support from baji, chifuyu, takemichi, mitsuya, angry and hakkai (alongside yuzuha, emma and hinata)
✰ you had the reluctant support of draken and pah-chin, but as long as you were happy they wouldn’t interfere
✰ HOWEVER!!! mikey and smiley are so against it, it’s ridiculous - they’ve tried and failed on multiple occasions to follow ran around and get some dirty secret from him
✰ the best they got was a mug-shot of ran spilling food into his lap - and you just laughed and called it cute
✰ CUTE!? they wanted to bitch slap you
✰ mitsuya made your wedding dress and ran’s suit - it was his first big commission, and you wanted your wedding to be the first
✰ he totally didn’t cry at your supporting his fashion designing dream, nopey
✰ rindou is obviously the best man, stfu - literally you do not let a single one of your brothers try and say otherwise
✰ but yes rindou, for once, it very geuinely happy - and, as a result, people like mitsuya and draken feel more inclined to approach him
✰ BAJI, CHIFUYU AND TAKEMICHI OFFER TO BE THE FLOWER BOYS!!! well, more like baji offered and forced his best friend and his best friends best friend to join (my brain hurt writing that LMAO) if kazutora shows up too, he joins in for the lols
✰ obv emma, hinata and yuzuha are the prettiest bridesmaids ever <33
✰pah and peh are stuffing their faces with food, and lowkey hakkai would have an eating competition with them and win (also, pochi - pah’s dog - is invited and has his own little suit)
✰ peke j is invited too - he’s on one of those little cat harnesses tho
✰ you pick angry as your ‘maid of honour’ (although you keep calling it ‘man of honour’ bc every time smiley called him the maid he lowkey nearly cried)
✰ draken walks you down the aisle - no one protests (except mikey)
✰ you purposefully have your flower boys throw doriyaki at mikey to make him cheer up (it works)
✰ they're all silent as you come down the aisle - and in that moment, each of the boys approve of ran
✰ why, you may be wondering? because the absolute love that filled his eyes as soon as he saw you was enough to tell them that he loves you
✰ they'll... try and be nicer to him >:((
IZANA AND KAKUCHOU
✰ as i previously stated, they literally hate wakasa so much - and they make it so apparent that even wakasa's like "oh, okay, i'm sorry if i offended you"
✰ LIKE SIR?? OF COURSE YOU DID, they're protective and hella possessive of their big sister and YOU'RE TAKING UP HER FREE TIME
✰ tbh it's mainly izana who is hostile as hell, kakuchou is polite (doesn't mean he goes out of his way to be nice though)
✰ whenever mikey's invited over, it's the only time wakasa feels remotely welcomed into your home - the blonde boy is really sweet to him because of his connection to shinichiro
✰ also yes, wakasa became your fiancé only a year after you two started dating - no one really judged the decision either because you two had known each other for years anyways and, more importantly to his and your families, wakasa was nearly in his 30's and still unmarried
✰ izana?? officially ticked off - weddings take a lot of time and planning, which meant less time spent with him
✰ pouty boy - he won't stop until he has your undivided attention LMAOO
✰ kakuchou helps you find dresses and suggests asking mikey's friend, mitsuya, to make you a dress
✰ you let izana design it - and he makes it so pretty, it has to be pretty like you!!!
✰ wakasa, to everyone's surprise, asks izana to be the best man - and that's when izana softens up a little bit and starts to like the man
✰ "(name)'s your big sister and i can't think of anyone better for the role. be my best man, please?" and you were just sat there with a pouty kakuchou like, oh my god they're bonding
✰ as a result of izana being wakasa's best man, you made kakuchou the male equivalent of the maid of honour
✰ the wedding was amazing and, during the toasts, izana stood up to make a speech (a little reluctantly) with kakuchou right beside him for moral support
✰ "although i don't really like you, i know my sister loves you a lot - so i guess i'll tolerate you. look after my sister, or you're dead."
✰ kakuchou would interject quickly with a "what he means is, welcome to the family"
✰ you're laughing so much and wakasa is lowkey threatened by your crazy brothers

Bully! Mitsuya Fanfic (pt.1)
Chapter I: Inception
✿ Word Count: 2.1k
✿ Pairing: Takashi Mitsuya x reader
✿ Topics covered: (Eventual) Enemies to lovers trope, Y/N POV, tsundere-Mitsuya, bully! Mitsuya, fem. reader, minor manga spoilers, Bully! Mitsuya headcanons from last post
He lifted his large palm, coated in silver and black rings to match his attire. He was wearing a black mock turtleneck that matched his jet black hair. In his youth, he had lilac-colored hair that was either in a buzz-cut or grown out to a mullet. Now, he sported his black hair in his college-years. He was studying to become a fashion designer, a dream he had since his youth after his love blossomed for sewing. It had begun as a chore in order to keep his sisters satisfied and happy, saving money from buying toys by simply creating them himself. As he practiced it more and more, he began to realize how intricate fabrics were. How beautiful colors could come together and form the prettiest structures and designs -- how even the ugliest colors would look elegant if you paired them properly with the right colors, or carefully took apart the threads to create something new. You on the other hand were not studying to become a fashion designer, but rather a photographer. In your youth, you were a free-lancer in art and a quiet overachiever. You had many different career options open to you, but nothing really opened you up in the way art did. You participated in many different types of art, you loved painting, sewing, embroidery, name it, you’ve probably dabbled in it. One day, your class was introduced to your photography unit and all the puzzle pieces fell into the designated places, the pieces being lost and untouched for years. Nothing brought you more joy than snapping someone’s photo on the street to surprise them with the way the sunlight beautifully encapsulated their figure. Nothing brought you more joy than taking an eerily aesthetic photo of the rain pouring on the people below your building as a lady frolocked in the rain below, eager to rejoice in mother nature’s beauty.
Truthfully, your relationship had not started out the way it was now. With his palm ever so elegantly shoving you to the floor, your photographs spilling out of your portfolio as you hit the cold tile floor, protecting your chest by landing on your elbow and knee. Snickers, chuckles, giggles-- they all filled the hallway after seeing you collapse. Only a select few actually took pity on you, including one of his loyal followers, Hakkai Shiba. Mitsuya was usually followed around by two close-friends, Yasuda-san and Hakkai. Yasuda-san was also a fashion major, while Hakkai was planning to become a model. Mitsuya was very well respected amongst the campus for many different reasons. Firstly, he was gifted with the intellect of sewing intrigue designs that made everyone sigh in awe. Secondly, pretty-privilege. You hated to admit it but Mitsuya was a very attractive-looking man, his hair was always fluffed to the right extent, he was well-dressed, and leading into the third reason, he was smart. Despite being a part of the Tokyo Manji Gang, otherwise known as Toman, as one of the second division captains, he was able to manage schoolwork as an overachiever and was known for his intellect. Not to mention, keeping his division in check along with his two younger sisters AND the sewing club that he managed at his school? It was no wonder he was seen as the perfect boyfriend, he had all of his together. This was the reason why his disregard of you was seen as acceptable, everyone assumed you must have done something wrong for him to treat you this way, right?
Incorrect assumption. You have never done anything wrong to Mitsuya-- in fact… you don’t really remember doing anything to him, period. You both met by chance in his home-economics club, which he decided to suggest to the college board upon seeing there was not a club that actively encouraged sewing. At the time, most participants on campus were graphic designers, artists, not really looking to take the fashion industry by storm as Mitsuya was. However, he was able to persuade the board and even got petition signatures to seal it all off. He was the president of the club and upon seeing the posters taped in the hallways, you instantly took the opportunity to get any extracurricular activities on your transcript. He welcomed you into the club but it wasn’t like you got that much of his attention-- after all, the club filled up quickly with Mitsuya’s admirers. Although, shortly before he began his cruel treatment and behavior towards you, it actually seemed like you two were becoming friends. He would begin to check on you a little more frequently than the rest, tapping your shoulder with a warm smile, asking you how your project was going. You would show him your small projects, nothing too big as it had nothing to do with your major, but projects that you enjoyed and had fun doing nonetheless. He seemed most amused by the sweater you created for your dog by letting out a soft chuckle. In return, he showed you the sweaters he made for his sisters, who were now teenagers. It became a routine for him to walk over to you after checking up on everyone else and talk until club hours were over. He’d find anything to talk about and it made your heart swell with how he actually took the time out of his day to make sure you didn’t feel alone. You were sure he had picked up on how you lacked friends in his club, he was clearly trying to make you feel welcome and you couldn’t help but begin to admire him even more than you once had.
One day, however, it suddenly changed. His demeanor was suddenly cold and unwelcoming to you. You noticed when you walked into his club as you normally did, taking your seat. He did not visit you within the 10 minutes it usually took him to check upon everyone else. It took much, much longer, so you simply assumed everyone needed more help than usual. However, when he came over to your table, his words startled you so much that you pricked yourself with your needle, rushing your eyes to meet his own at his sudden harshness.
┃ “Looks like someone isn’t paying attention.”
The venom in his words made your cheeks flush with a tint of red, noticing some of the club members staring at you, also in surprise of his harsh tone. You open your mouth, quickly questioning his behavior, all of your words coming out panicked, in fear you’ve done something wrong-- something to disappoint, or upset him.
┃ “What do you mean, Pres? My projects have never been an issue before.”
┃ “Nicknames are a privilege. Call me by my proper title.” He snapped, your peers widening their eyes, for he never required anyone to call him by his last name.
┃ “...President Mitsuya, I apologize. However, you can’t just--”
┃ “Look around,” he motions his arm towards the surrounding students working at their tables, sewing much larger projects and others measuring their models for their designs. Your right eyebrow began to raise in confusion, he had never minded your small projects. Yet, here he was, embarrassing, no-- humiliating you in front of your peers about how minuscule your projects were in comparison.
┃ “Your peers all have their mind set on a big project or several larger projects. Yet, here you are with your small little trinkets. They’re working hard, and you’re doing the bare minimum to have your work completed for this club.”
Tears began to prick your eyes, questioning what his true motive was here. Surely, the projects weren’t the issue. This… this was too strong of a switch-up. Something had triggered this outburst of his, but you weren’t sure what. He was always stressed, all the time actually-- had he perhaps overwhelmed himself and he was taking it out on you?
┃ “(Y/N).” Your name so violently came out of his mouth, as if it had just crashed on cement. It wasn’t the silky and softer voice you were accustomed to hearing when speaking with him. “Get your head out of the clouds. Are you listening?”
┃ “Sir… I mean, President Mitsuya, with all due respect, you seem to be… unfairly targeting me. Some of these students are creating something as simple as a sweater for their friends, why is something for my dog any different?”
The rest of the club began planning your funeral. While never seeing him this upset on school grounds, they have heard about how foul he could get with his division members. Questioning him was bound to make him explode. They all froze, eyes drifting to Mitsuya for an incoming scolding.
┃ With a harsh grab, his fingers glide under your chin as he lifts it up to meet his face directly. “'You questioning me?”
┃ “N-no sir! I mean no disrespect, I just-”
┃ “You’ll be staying after club hours.”
┃ “B-but sir I have-”
┃ “I was NOT asking.” He half-shouts, dropping your chin from his harsh grip as he makes it back to the front of the classroom where he continues to work on his own projects. Your fellow club members pitied you at first, but after seeing how harsh he got later on with you as the bullying continued, they assumed this was the result of an external conflict.
You don’t remember what he told you after club hours. He was yelling something about how you were stupid, a dumbass, and well, you get the rest. Cruel words were thrown at you as if the day before he wasn’t so fondly helping you with the sweater for your dog-- helping you perfect the stitch of his name. Any time you questioned him or flat-out denied his accusations and heinous words, he would yank your chain and pull you so you were right in front of him as he stared down at you. It was enough to scare you out of ever providing a rebuttal, and you soon learned that as the bullying continued.
Now, here you are, on the floor, calmly collecting your portfolio photographs, not even phased by his now-normal harassment. Usually, a shove would be enough to appease him, but today it seemed like one of those days where he wanted more. He walked over to your kneeling figure as you collected your portfolio, your head turned away from him to avoid giving him any form of satisfaction.
┃ “What do you say after you bump into someone?”
┃ “I didn’t bump into you, dickhead.”
With a swift motion, he forcefully grabbed your chin and forced you to look at him, his lavender eyes piercing straight through you. He was clearly unsatisfied with your response.
┃ “What do you say after you bump into someone, skank?”
Every time you questioned him or talked back, you knew it simply made him angrier. You quickly learned that him acting out was his way of earning your attention, but for whatever reason it was, you couldn’t figure out why. What you did learn, however, from your many other incidents with him, is that he would praise you when you were obedient. Eager to get this over with and save yourself any more humiliation, you replied:
┃ “I’m sorry.”
┃ “I’m sorry…?”
┃ With a sigh, you continue, “I’m sorry, President Mitsuya.”
He smirks, now satisfied with your answer. He taps your cheek with his right index finger and replies:
┃ “Good girl.”
You swipe your face away from his grasp and continue collecting your photographs, along with your notebooks and planner that had slipped out. Mitsuya scoffs as you once more retract your attention away from him and walks away with Yasuda-sun snickering. Hakkai, however, stays behind and examines you for a few brief moments. He walks over to you and begins helping you organize your bookbag. You look up and smile-- despite his silence, his eyes offered every form of apology he could give you. You had learned Hakkai was afraid to speak up to Mitsuya because he was his best friend and was afraid any talkback from him would only result in a deeper hatred for you. You didn’t mind, however, you just appreciated how Hakkai kept you grounded. He helped you remember you didn’t do anything wrong, this was Mitsuya’s doing and his alone. Hakkai was always well-dressed as well, you noticed. He was wearing an incredibly long trench coat with beautiful shades of baby blue, ocean blues and a bright orange that made everything pop. It covered a black mock turtleneck that seemed to be matching the one Mitsuya was wearing and in fact, Hakkai also seemed to have an earring on one ear, similar to Mitsuya. It appeared that he deeply respected Mitsuya, his outfit seemed to be heavily inspired by his own. With everything settled in your bookbag once more, he offered you a pat on the head with a smile as you nodded and thanked him before running off to your first class of the day.
