Symphogear: it might have a musical number about making beef stroganoff, but it also contains bucketloads of blood and tonnes of traumatic backstories!

The Pacific Trust sent representatives to Disney with authentic textile samples that would have been present in ancient Polynesia. Two major materials, tapa and pandanus, are the basis for most costumes in the film.

“Because the materials are natural, they tend to be more structured than a fabric. How they move on people, and how they move when wet is different and it’s important to get those things right. For Moana’s costume I knew she was an adventurer, a voyager, and the costume had to reflect that. I added a slit to the front of her skirt, which ended up working technically as well. We work very closely to the animation department and the simulation team. Whatever outfit she wears needs to be historically correct, it needs to have materials that are accurate to the history, and it has to allow movement.”

when ppl say “let men wear skirts/dresses” that also means

without people being creepy / treating them like a fetish

without people acting like being gnc is “”adult”” or “”private”” or somehow dirty

without people expecting them to alter the rest of their appearance to “fit” (not everyone who wants to wear a dress also wants to wax their whole body or apply a full face of makeup)

skirts and dresses are literally just clothes. they’re just clothes. leave gnc men alone

It’s okay, Maria, we got that you have the hots for Tsubasa the first time 😂

I’d also like to add that there’s some mythological brilliance in her arc as well. When you dig into it, it’s essentially an allegory to the life cycle of a Phoenix.

You have her downward spiral of suffering starting with the concert disaster and in Episode 2 and ending after Yatsuhiro’s sacrifice and her fight with Fudo in Episode 9.

Her figurative rise from the ashes then begins in Episode 10 and finally finishes the following episode with she and Maria defeating Millaarc (complete with Fushichō no Flamme).

So yeah, I really like how the writers incorporated the myth of the Phoenix into her arc in XV.

I want to talk about Tsubasa’s arc in XV, because I think it’s horribly underrated.

I see this arc getting a lot of flack for apparently having needless suffering and just rehashing her earlier arcs, but I think that’s very dismissive of her struggles and her growth.

Yes, Tsubasa goes through the most difficult moments of her character in XV. But that’s the point. Her arc is all about pride. Family pride, pride as a warrior, and most importantly, pride as a person.

Tsubasa has her pride stripped from her in every way. She was brainwashed by the enemy, forced to fight her friends, and failed to protect both her fans and her father.

But that’s the thing. No matter how much your pride is taken from you, you can always stand up again. That is what Tsubasa needs to learn. And she does, finally standing in episode 11.

She gains pride in her family, realizing they’re not just cold hearted protectors after seeing the last few actions of her father.

She gains pride as a warrior by managing to fight for the weak not because it’s her duty, but because it’s what she wants to do.

She gains pride as a person, managing to stand up to Noble Red and remain confident in herself even after the concert tragedy.

It’s an arc about being able to pull yourself out of even the worst situations possible. And it fits for Tsubasa, who has always struggled to stay true to herself.

Speaking of which, yeah, she calls herself a sword again. A lot of people call this lazy, but I think it’s realistic. When people experience familiar trauma, they regress into old habits. I’m thankful for XV for realizing that.

I get why people may not like this arc at first, but I think that it’s fantastic once you dig deeper into it. Yes, I feel terrible for Tsubasa, who had to suffer so much in XV. But I do think it’s beautiful how she’s able to rise up even stronger, and far more sure of herself, than ever before.
