#because until I hear it from the actual costume designers we really don't know what they were thinking when they planned the clothes

[Translation] Sakura, Sakura (Kohaku FS1) / Chapter 1
HiMERU: .....
Kohaku: (HiMERU-han's scrolling through his phone and looks like he's in a pretty good mood. Is he looking at newbie job posts again? I think it was sometime in the summer when he said that seeing "earnesty" made him smile.)*
Kohaku: (And like I said before, I just don't get it. I really don't understand that kind of hobby...oops. This isn't any time for me to be escaping reality and being on my computer. I've got a problem on my hands. But no other way to do this is coming to mind, so I'm just gonna...)
Kohaku: --Hey, HiMERU-han. I wanna ask you for a bit of advice, do you have a sec?
HiMERU: Yes, what is it?
Kohaku: Actually, I was finally called about my "personalized costume", and when I said that I no idea about idol costumes, Anzu said that we should think about it together. "Crazy:B" was pretty far off from all the other "units" Anzu-han compared us to, so I don't wanna rely too much on that. I told her that I would get back to her after I came up with a few ideas of my own, then we went off our own ways.
HiMERU: ...And? Have you come up with any ideas?
Kohaku: Nope. I thought I could try it and have it under control, but I'm not getting anywhere. I've never even thought of designing my own costumes before, so I haven't got a clue. And so, I need a bit of advice. HiMERU-han, if you were me then what kind of costume would I pick?
HiMERU: That's a difficult question. HiMERU is HiMERU, and he isn't anyone else. So, the same would apply to you. Wouldn't it be best to try asking this question to yourself?
Kohaku: Duh. But, if I could do that then I wouldn't be having such a tough time...I think it'd be better if idols wore western clothing, but I've also always worn kimonos at home so I really don't know what's what. "Outerwear" and "innerwear" are all fancy words I didn't know until I moved here yknow? It's all so complicated.
HiMERU: No need to daunt yourself. If all the choices were truly infinite, then everyone would also be lost. You should take your time in thinking about it. You don't really need to decide today or tomorrow, since it's "Oukawa Kohaku's personalized outfit".
Kohaku: I get that, but if I can't come up with anything then what should I do? I don't want to be worrying about it all the time...
Rinne: Yo, Kohaku-chan! Rinne-kun is here to give you a hand~
Kohaku: Ugh. The number one person I didn't want involved at all showed up. I hate it when you involve yourself in things, because everything just gets even more complicated.
Rinne: "Number one" you say, I'm so loved~ So, I hear you're having trouble crafting up a "personalized outfit", is that right? I'll come up with something unique. Here, hand over your sketchbook.
Kohaku: Rinne-han will? I dunno what I should expect.
Rinne: Gyahaha! Just leave it to me.
Kohaku: (It's hard to see anything from here. He's just humming and drawing smoothly. Fashion sense, I think is what it's called? Does he have a good sense in fashion?)
Rinne: ♪〜♪〜♪
Rinne: ....There, all done.
Kohaku: Where....
Kohaku: What's with that weird looking outfit? For some reason it looks a little like Rinne-han's "personalized outfit". I don't like it much. If I showed up to a "Crazy:B" live in this, people will just think we're wearing the same outfit.
Rinne: Heh, "Crazy:B"'s live huh...You even remember when I said "when everyone's personalized outfits are ready, we'll all wear them and put on a live"? Kohaku-chan you're so chipper~
Kohaku: Th-that's not it. We're part of the same "unit", so I just thought that the opportunity might come up for us to do that one day--
Niki: Thank you for waiting. Here's hashbrowns for four~
HiMERU: Isn't this a bit much for four people?
Niki: Don't worry about that, because I'll eat half of it! Thank you for the meal~ Mogumogu...I overheard something about "personalized outfits", so I guess it's Kohaku-chan's turn next. What kind of outfit are you going to wear?
Kohaku: I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do, but I really can't come up with anything...Niki-han, what do you think?
Niki: Uuuun. If I had to pick then definitely colorful clothes. If it was plain white then it'd just get dirty when I cook.
HiMERU: That would help you Shiina, but it wouldn't really apply to Oukawa's case, correct?
Niki: Yup, yup. That's why I can't really come up with ideas and help answer any questions~ Fashion isn't really my forte! Whenever I buy new clothes I just ask the shopkeeper to help out in finding me things that would look good on me...So, if you're really worried about it, Kohaku-chan, then why don't you just let professionals help? That would be your safest bet.
Kohaku: (In other words, I really should just leave it up to Anzu-han? That's no good. If I rely on her then I'd be back to where I started. Well, it's not like I'm getting anywhere here....)
Kohaku: I'll go think of "personalized outfit" ideas somewhere else. Niki-han, you can eat my share.
Kohaku: .......
Kohaku: (I tried borrowing an idol magazine as a reference from the office...all the clothes in this magazine have already been worn by someone else, and I don't think any of them would fit me much. "I want you to design as freely as you want" is what Anzu-han told me, but I can't even put a single line down. Is this what it means to have freedom valued this much nowadays...isn't it just becoming an obstacle...?)
Ibara: Oukawa-shi, how is the design process coming along?
Kohaku: Vice Prez-han, Nagisa-han**...
Ibara: Fumu. It appears as though you've hit a deadlock***. Well then since I'm a member of the same agency, I'd like to offer you a it of advice from a "producer" standpoint. If the design is meant to be about the idol themself, then why not try putting "amber"**** into the design?
Kohaku: Amber...? Isn't that just sap with dead insects in it?
Nagisa: ....That may be true, but that's not all there is to it...This piece of amber is for you.
Kohaku: Nn? Thanks...Oh, that's not a bug, but a flower right?
Nagisa: Yes. It's speculated to have bloomed around ten million years ago. To begin with, the flower was wiped off the earth a long time ago, but since it was protected by the sap it can be held after such a long amount of time has passed.
Nagisa: .....Amber is a stone of miracles.
(*): This thought line here is referencing chapter 1 of the story "Honeybee"! HiMERU was looking at newbie jobs and talked about how seeing unexperienced idols quickly try to take every job they see was charming!
(**): Could've sworn Kohaku referred to Nagisa as "Ran-han" but okay sure enstars have it your way?
(***): Different from a deadend, a deadlock is when someone is stuck going in circles. Ibara and his fancy terminology is making my life a bit difficult is it obvious that I've never tried translating much Eden content yet help me
(****): Word play of sorts? “琥珀” is “kohaku”, meaning “amber” (a type of gemstone), which obviously has a connection to Kohaku’s name

never thought i will write something like that on the internet but here we go
I rarely can thank people properly. My ability to speak nice is dramatically low and english isn't my first language. But still, I just wanted to say thanks
I may sound insane, but I literally found my new hobby and possible carreer because of your fics. Year ago, in my last year of highschool despite already being 18 I had not even sign of idea what to do with my life. Untill after scrolling through ao3 I found your "Communion". The power of fic's atmosphere, the story, the setting was enough for me to overthink my life choices, I suppose. I stayed awake almost the whole night that day, just re-reading some parts. I knew something changed in me, but I didn't knew what. This may sound fake as hell but hear me out. I was really inspired by this setting of "victorian-like-colleges-and-stuff-and-shit-that-happenes-in-them". Then with great power of YouTube algorithm I discovered historical costuming and clothing of the past in general. It is such unconnected stuff to bb and fics about it but the atmosphere was thing that lead me to this. This was exact same thing I never thought I need. For the first time in my life I truly found my personal style, things that I really love and want to do. I never thought I can really like history. I never thought I actually was pretty good at sewing. If not your works, even Great Ones wouldn't know where I would be now. I could be forever passion-less and being in my phone all day apart from some shitty job. But here I am, making pleats on my walking skirt. I really hope I will be able to do some clothes from bb in future
Thank you for just uploading this masterpiece of a fic and creating story of such quality.
In 2025 I'm going abroad to study costume design. I don't think anyone will believe me when I will say that bloodborne fan fiction was the reason I am there
But I don't care because no matter people's opinions, this is still true
Thank you a lot, I don't know how to say it better
If you believe me, just know, you are amazing person who helped someone a lot, even if you didn't thought of it
Thank you
Hello!
This means the absolute world to me. I'm so happy that you've found your place, and found your interest. It's so wonderful to hear how art can inspire us all to step out there and try something new. And I'm so happy and humbled that you found inspiration from my writing (I hope you have it downloaded, as its one of the many fics I removed last year when I was doxxed, if not, I have posted a Google drive with my stories - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/113pXhzA2bRoBj98eLrPwFS1HnVrJdP5d
It was other fiction that inspired me to dive into science, alongside a long interest in forensics. And I'm now in my MSc, studying forensic anthropology, disaster victim ID and human identification. Fiction and art is wonderful for inspiration.
Costume design sounds amazing! Hopefully you'll be designing for something Victorian-esque, or whatever genre you like! That's absolutely amazing, good luck to you and all my wishes! ❤️ ❤️

Now that queendom is over what are your thoughts on all the contestants overall? like did they surprise you? are you disappointed? i just wanted to hear your opinions on them as someone who didn’t know them prior to this (except for hyolyn). Personally i was very surprised by kepler and i look forward to what they’re going to do next even though their stages were never impressive i really admired their energy and i can see how talented they are and i would love to give them a chance in the future, wjsn disappointed me i never saw them perform before but i liked some of their songs so i thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get into them but they kept doing the same thing and i just got bored unfortunately. I never cared about viviz/gfriend and i will continue to never care about them. I was surprised by loona in a good way loved the shake it stage and the final one same with brave girls that final stage was fantastic and so much fun and you can see how free they felt because they didn’t have to worry about the ranking. Do we have to talk about hyolyn she’s a legend but i have to admit that unlike you i really didn’t like her final song which was a bummer :(( in conclusion it was fun but if they do a queendom 3 i really wish they change some of the challenges which brings me to my next question if you could design a show like this what would you choose for the challenges? (Sorry this is very long and i asked you two questions) enjoyed your weekly reviews of the performances!!
oh hmmmm, good question (the first one). other than the first one i didn't actually watch the full episodes, just the stages, so tbh i'm pretty sure i know just as little as you about all the contestants! i'm not a big girl group fan so coming into the show the only two i had any really familiarity with were hyolyn and brave girls, and both of them exceeded my expectations. viviz i knew would be be poor performers and they blew well under that expectation from me. also no one should be supporting them anyways why were they allowed on this show. i only knew wjsn from the black and chocome, and i will admit that i am disappointed by their showing during queendom. their first stage was pretty good and there was a lot of potential there, but they stalled HARD and ended up producing really lackluster stages for the rest of the run. design wise they dropped a lot of balls and also did some stuff that i consider to be very unsafe (the pantomime stage), and honestly i did not like any of their music either, so i'm not that interested in checking them out beyond the show. i don't even know if i can pick out a reason why they stalled so hard either, since i know they have the capacity to do more focused concept work bc of the black and chocome. the only thing that i can maybe think of would be that they were trying to do some sort of connected universe type thing that tbz were trying to do, but if they were it was absolutely inscrutable to me.
loona i don't think my opinions of them are changed? like i said in my reviews they clearly have access to good set and costume designers when they want to, but i wasn't particularly impressed nor disappointed? someone sent me an ask about them before the show started and i've left it until after the show was finished, so i've kind of been holding back a judgement on them until i get started on actually watching some of their mvs. they had one of the better runs on the show but i always ended up finding that their stages were incomplete in some way? like they always seemed to have one design element that was really good but then the rest fell by the wayside. like the set and lights for butterfly were good, but the costumes sucked ass, or the costumes for pose were great but the lighting was horrid. it was very inconsistent, which was not something that i've seen in any of this series before? like with kingdom i could logically map out the choices how the design teams were working; like skz had ass costumes because i know jype has garbage stylists, or how sf9 generally had across the board really good stylings. like the discrepency between the pose costumes and the shake it costumes are SO high from a costume designer's perspective. like you do a stage themed after one of THE most iconic western eras of fashion that has a ton of modern subcultures specifically surrounding it and you somehow don't manage to use THE most iconic garment from that era, but two stages later you can put up costumes that pinpoint an approximately five year chunk of history with a extremely specific situational circumstance AND include references to one of the most famous designers of the time????? i cannot explain that other than they just straight up hired a new stylist. or their stylist is really into versace history, idk. it's really weird.
kepler.........sigh. it was intensely unfair of mnet to put them on this show. these girls were fresh off of ANOTHER survival show, they had JUST debuted, they had a maximum of like five songs, and then you're gonna put them up against HYOLYN??????? also the fact that there are still minors in the group?????? like everything about having them on the show was wrong. and i can't even say that the girls made the best of it because their creative teams were making them do inappropriate shit half the time! i feel so bad for those girls. i think maybe if they had had a couple more years under their belt it would have been a slightly different story, but even then not everyone can be ateez going toe to toe with btob. i think i mentioned it in one of the earlier reviews but this process must have been very creatively demoralizing for kepler. they were so ill equipped to be competing against these more senior groups and it showed in their stages and in their rankings. the ONLY thing that saved them from placing last was that they had probably the largest fanbase. i also don't know what the deal is with their company, maybe it's because they're a project group, but it felt like they got NO good creative support. like their styling and their design work and even their choreography was just not up to snuff for the scale of this show. like they're mnet's group and i'm pretty sure they're managed by the same company that managed wannaone so like. what's the deal. you guys have money, where are you putting it? it feels like they just threw them out there to let them drown.
as for your second question, i am so so certain that someone sent me a similar ask about designing a kingdom type show ages ago but i cannot find it anywhere, and someone did ask me about my predictions/what i wanted to see for queendom before the show started here! in terms of changing the challenges, i would do a couple of things:
keep the song swap/cover song round, but instead groups would have to swap genders AND generations, kind of like what they did during rtk. so if it was queendom they'd have to do like 2nd gen boy group songs or if it was kingdom they'd have to do 3rd gen girl groups (generations are changeable, it just has to be different from the one of the performing groups). therefore there's a challenge for arranging AND for performing
i really liked what double trouble did where they would assign like a theme word with each song, so i would go for one round where everyone picked a theme word out of a hat and then they had to make a song work with that theme word
prop round. either it would be everyone gets assigned the same prop and they have to all make performances around it, or like the theme word round they get randomly assigned a prop (like canes, hats, chairs, etc) that they have to work into the choreo. tbh the props could be really weird or really normal, it doesn't matter.
i would also keep the collab stages, but instead of them being just dance/vocal units, i want them to make whole new groups. they can either be 'randomly' assigned or they can be like, all the same mbti types or zodiac signs or whatever. the unit stages are fine and i liked that they brought in choreographers for queendom 2 but i think a real test would be negotiating a new group structure. and i think it would help distribute some of the talents better.
#PLS can you imagine a mayfly unit stage that was just all of the scorpios????#eunkwang minhyuk hongjoong wooyoung leeknow??????? i would CRY that would be sooooo funny#god i wish the challenges were actually challenges SO BAD like pls make them do something weird or hard for ONCE mnet#queendom 2#queendom questions#i didnt talk about brave girls or hyolyn bc i talked about them the most in my reviews and we all know i love them#text#answers#this turned out way longer than i thought soz

Let's talk about...Pat's Salome t-shirt
I've already partially written about this shirt (and its connection to my all-time favourite of all of Pat's shirts) - in that it could have been used to connect Pat with Ink through the shared colour of the t-shirt print and Ink's mustard yellow top (to offer the subconscious implication that she's might be a 'love interest' for Pat)...
...of course, the choice of this t-shirt could also be completely arbitrary...
...but I've always been curious as to whether I could find a deeper meaning/reasoning behind its inclusion here (even if it's just a complete coincidence). After re-watching ep 4 last weekend, I finally decided to do a bit of googling...
And what I discovered is that the name "Salome" and the picture don't seem to originally go together...at least not that I could find...so I wonder if they made this shirt themselves...and therefore why (or maybe someone else made it and they just found it 🤷🏽♀️).
I'll begin with the picture. It is a painting called Portrait of Sabartes, by Pablo Picasso in 1939. Jaime Sabartes was Picasso's lifelong friend, secretary, and chief "legend-monger" (he basically sang Picasso's praises to whomever listened). Sabartes asked Picasso to paint him as a courtier to Philip II...
"Portraying Sabartes as [such] is amusing as this was the role he played in the court of Picasso; that of the loyal servant following his master from Paris to Antibes to Royan. Although Sabartes was often represented by critics as a pathetically faithful dog, Picasso no doubt respected and returned his loyalty - albeit in his own fashion."
I know this is a very very tenuous link...but I couldn't help jumping on the fact that we see Pat as a faithful puppy... Yes, it's really a stretch to think Aof/the costume designer might have meant this with the use of this picture...(*she whispers* but what if they did?). Another less tenuous link is just the fact that Picasso and Sabartes were born in the same year and were lifelong friends...just like Pat and Pran 🤷🏽♀️ (I also like that Pat also wears a couple of other Picasso-esque shirts in the series...although I haven't been able to discover if they actually are Picasso prints yet.)
Anyway, onto "Salome" and this is a little more concrete, I think.
Salome is "commonly identified with the daughter of Herodias who, according to accounts in the Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Matthew, danced for Herod Antipas" in exchange for the head of John the Baptist. Salome has been depicted in many forms in paintings, literature, films, sculpture, music...you name it...often as a "lascivious woman, a temptress who lures men away from salvation" - or a femme fatale.
In episode 4, Ink is introduced as a kind of femme fatale - or faen fatale as @absolutebl would say: "This is when the story introduces a character whose sole purpose is to drive a wedge between the main BL pair." Luckily, in Bad Buddy, this trope was one of many that were subverted and it became clear quite quickly (in the most delightful way!) that Ink actually wasn't a 'traditional' fean fatale character. But having Pat wear this t-shirt in this episode, in a scene where it was implied that Ink might be a love interest for him...well, whether planned or not, I think it's genius.
But, along with the above, as I was reading the wikipedia page (I know, not always the best source🤷🏽♀️), I came across this:
"Salome is shown in the mystery play as a personification of Carl Jung's pleasure in The Red Book. [...] Through interactions with Salome, Jung learns of how he neglected the emotional feeling side of his personality and the difficulties of accepting that part of himself that he suppressed."
Now, I think this really is just my brain making connections between the above quote and posts I've read recently about Pat...BUT I just love that people have recently been writing about Pat's character growth...and about his repressed emotions and his realisation of them. Others have written so well on this subject that I'm not going to attempt my own words...I'll just link them here for you to read if you're interested: this post by @scarydeul; this one by @grapejuicegay; and this by @goldenmorningglory.
.
Whether planned or not, this shirt is SO GOOD - I love that I can find all these connections to the characters and the story - and I feel like it should actually have an honorary spot in my top ten of Pat's shirts from the series. 😂
#bad buddy#bad buddy series#bad buddy the series#patpran#pat x pran#why do I feel like I need to keep writing disclaimers on my interpretations?#because until I hear it from the actual costume designers we really don't know what they were thinking when they planned the clothes#and so any of these tenuous meanings could be possible#or it could simply be that they 'looked good' and everything else is just a coincidence#but I love coincidences. I love finding connections. this is how my brain works#and I know I've said it before...but why do I feel the need to keep saying it?#fear that I sound stupid?...but why should I care?#anyway...enough about me#let's talk about...#pat's shirts make me feral

Let me know if this request has been done already, it's kinda NSFW but what do you think the boys lingerie or sexy costume preferences are when it comes to bedroom fun time?
I want the Mc to be gender-neutral about this bc lingerie is not just for women
so I won't have any pictures to provide I hope that's okay : )
Nsfw below
Lucifer
Something about wearing lingerie just for him to tear apart later is a turn-on to him.
Lucifer is such a sucker for thighs, anything Lacey that hugs the body can't help but stare. With straps that squeeze the thighs just a little bit.
Lucifer usually prefers darker colors like black, dark red or dark blue. But it's something about the color white that gives him the Demonic urge to defile.
Mammon
expensive and shiny
It has to be something he buys for you he will not let you wear anything else otherwise.
There's nothing that truly says mine than someone laying in his bed wearing shining treasure that he purchased, waiting for him to worship their body like the gem they are.
He loves decking you out in gems and gold. And when he's had enough you finally ravishes you.
Leviathan
Cosplay for him and see what happens. He almost doesn't want to touch you because he doesn't want to ruin your outfit
How to distract Leviathan from gaming.
Step 1: wear a nice maid outfit come into his room and just to clean.
Step 2: wait for him to notice you. As soon as he does he will try so hard to not take a Second Glance or third one or fourth. Until you hear his PC power off.
Maid lingerie? He might just pass out.
High heels does something to him, high heels of any kind. The sound of the heels hitting the floor as you step makes him squirm.
Satan
I'm going to get the low-hanging fruit first...Cats cat ears cat tail cat themed lingerie.
y'all know the gist so I'm going to spice things up: Satan and Levi agree on one thing Maid outfits. They literally bond over that shit. The idea of MC in a maid outfit pops into their head, and they're already planning the perfect design ( Asmo also involved). Cat maid? Even better! Levi thinks it's overdone but understands where he's coming from, Satan's trying to cover his blushing face.
"The Bell collar, don't forget the bell collar it is very important."
Satan is a sucker for lace he loves looking at all the patterns against the skin. He also loves to run his hands against the patterns and feel the texture.
Asmo
It's hard to pick a favorite with this man. he'll just dress you up in whatever he feels like that night.
But I know his weakness. Asmodeus Mr.Avatar of lust has a hand kink. So gloves on your hands drives him up the wall. You were trying out some leather gloves at Majolish and Asmo staring with a look you had never before. (New kink unlocked)
In bed you can do a lot of things with your hands so can't blame him if he wants to feel those gloves somewhere else.
Beelzebub
I want to say edible lingerie I really do but the edible lingerie we have sucks ass. It doesn't look good nor i don't think it tastes good. Idk Maybe in the Devildom they actually have good ones... and plus it's Beel we are talking about he'll probably eat that shit like a gourmet snack before the main course.
Anyting food-themed (no not the burger one) like something simple with a strawberry pattern.
Beelzebub is not is that strong about lingerie kind of guy but tights can certainly change his mind pretty quickly.
Belphie
Beel🤝Tights 🤝Belphie he seems that any immediately thinks ' I'm going to lay my head right on that lap' anything's soft is just so inviting to him
Anything that's long and drapes over the body or Mash that barely hide anything at all no in between.
He loves soft relaxing colors like lilac.
#obey me#obey me lucifer#obey me beelzebub#obey me mammon#obey me one master to rule them all#obey me satan#obey me leviathan#obey me asmodeus#obey me belphegor#spicy🔥🥵#smut#obey me smut

Twilight characters as random animals that I think are oddly fitting
(Also yes, I am roasting the animals as well)
Edward: He would be a Cheetah. Now I know, seems like a cop out just because of his speed but hear me out. Cheetahs are, at face value, pretty cool. They used to be my favorite animal as a child, but then I grew up.
Cheetahs, through no fault of their own, are severely inbred. Now thats mainly because of poaching, but the cheetas anxiety also comes into play. In captivity, cheetahs are usually given emotional support dogs. I will admit it is cute but it negatively affects the population. Excluding one in the wild, cheetas can be to anxious to breed and thats not good for conservation efforts.
Cheetahs can hit up to 80 miles per hour in a couple of seconds. They are designed for fast running and agility. Their claws are similar to that of a dogs for better traction and they have elongated spines for longer strides. They have a thin build, long legs and a long tail for balance.
This has downsides though. Many times after making a kill, it will get stolen for them by larger predators. Thats right, they get absolutely bodied by the other animals. I should probably make these shorter but I'm on a rant now, so I guess this will be semi educational.
Throughout the series, we see Edward over estimated his abilities and value, constantly getting bodied by others. He's essentially a perfect mormon, though thats on S'meyers. He constantly judges others, dehumanizing them to their baser flaws, without doing any self reflecting. Him viewing himself as a monster doesn't really count to me. While he definitely hates himself, the only thing he is truly demonizing is being a vampire.
Bella: Picking up from Edwards, Bella is a Chocolate Labrador. Yes, she is his therapy dog. I feel like this is really fitting for her. I know Golden retriever would make more sense, as thats the most common breed for service animals. However, I kind of focused on her appearance. Only at first though! I just know that Edward raved about her human qualities and that would pass over as animals as well. Her chocolate eyes and brown fur, very average and boring. Thats essentially Bella. Even Edward wasn't into her until he got a wiff. Labradors a very loyal dogs and while they have more personality than Bella, I just couldn't shake it. Their also very stupid. Ok that's kind of mean, they're not stupid but when it comes to love, then yeah they are stupid.
I used to have a lab, loved him to death, but god he was something else. Very much danger prone, from their own stupidity or their lack of survival instincts. I know that labs are almost aquatic. They love water, swimming, all that jazz. We can just say that bella has a few screws loose in her dna and is just "not like other labs."
Rosalie: Now she was hard. There are quite a few animals that I think would fit for her. I'll list the other ones, but that one I went with is the Swan. Like Edward, seems a little on the nose, but I have my reasoning.
I was going to pick a predator for her, as she is shown to be very vengeful and viscous. I would have pick some type of cat, most likely a purebred, from a rich family. It could still work, but the swan just speaks to me on this one.
Swan's are known for being beautiful, graceful, and are pictured as the symbol of love. They are also very vain. Edward constantly brings up Rosalies vanity. She was constantly valued for her beauty as a human, so of course that crossed over in the transformation. She was raised to be married into wealth, she was used as a bargaining chip to increase the family's standing.
Rose has a very strong character and makes her opinions known. She's assertive and aggressive at times. She's not afraid to get dirty.
Swans mate for life and like geese, are known for being great parents. I was also going to choose geese as an option for the maternal instincts. I was wary at first because swans can be really aggressive. Like actually, you think geece are bad? Yikes bestie...
I was conflicted because swans are known for drowning dogs and sometimes people. However, I can actually see Rose drowning Bella. It's not that unbelievable lmao.
Emmett: Now this one is just ironic. I only associate him with bears. Its inevitable, but picking a Grizzly or Black bear is too obvious. So I went a slightly different route...
So I was going to pick the Sun bear just because of looks alone. Like, I'm not exaggerating, it looks like someone wearing a bear costume. I don't think it fits him but I know for a fact that he would dress up as a sun bear and sneak into a zoo to see if anyone would notice. I'll put a pic of it here
Like look at this thing. I have no words...
Anyway, what I picked was a Sloth Bear. Now Sloth bears are mostly nocturnal, which either way works consider vamps don't sleep. Their diet is also odd but honestly so is the cullens. They're native to the Indian subcontinent, and are known for being aggressive towards humans. Its said that for the most part they're pretty calm, so I think its just fear of humans that make them act aggressively. Honestly, that's a good thing because they are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red list.
They have some similarities with sloths, which is where they get the name. They have long claws and unusual teeth. They are known to hang upside down from tree branches, and is described as having a messy appearance. Honestly, Emmitt has a messy personality. Sorry bestie but you're a lot of work.
Now heres the biggest reason for choosing this bear. Aside from Baloo from the jungle book being a sloth bear, they are known to run fades with Tigers. Honestly, how fucking badass is that!? Now I don't think there are recorded instances of a Sloth bear killing a Tiger, but when push comes to shove, they can hold their own and I find that incredibly impressive.
Carlisle: This one was somehow the easiest as well as the toughest. I know Owl seems like the obvious choice, and I can see it. However, I believe Carlisle values emotional intelligence as much or if not more than academic intelligence. He is so charismatic and values other's above himself. He might not be as Saint like as Edward thinks, but he does try and I think he genuinely cares about others. For that reason alone, I choose a Elephant.
Elephant's are very social animals and are extremely intelligent. I could rave about them for ages, I love them so much.
Now elephants live in a familial unit and are usually matriarchal. Bulls usually are on the outer edges of the herd or form little groups with other males. Honestly, they're not that bad aside from when their in musk.
In the group of males, the elder ones will teach the younger where to get the best food, water, how to use things as tools, and every other thing that will increase their odds of survival. This is really cute to me tbh, they do this because the females usually choose the older males because they've proved that they are intelligent and strong, that they have survived and will continue to for awhile. Teaching the younger males these things are to make the odds of them getting chosen to mate more likely. The whole unit just reminds me of a father that has to deal with rowdy teens.
Carlisle likes to take in strays, he might not have a herd but he will make one and teach them to thrive. That's how he envisions it anyway. He just has a found family and is trying his best.
Esme: Now this might seem like an insult, but I promise it's not! This is in no way misogynistic. I love cattle and ever since I took animal science in highschool, I have appreciated these grass puppies like they deserve. Call me Castro because I love cows.
Yup! I chose a Cow for her. Specifically a beef cow. That might sound weird but its because beef cows have higher maternal instinct than dairy cows. I'm thinking Scottish Highland based on vibes alone.
They are nicknamed the Gentle Giants of Scotland. Super maternal and sweet and ugh look how cute they are!
Esme came from a abusive marriage and had just lost her child, she was depressed and desperate. Her changing was, in a way, salvation. She just fits in. She adopts all these strays along with him and will protect them to the death. She might be gentle by nature, but don't fuck with her family. She lost her first one and she isn't going to lose this one.
Alice: She's an odd one. There are so many possibilities and maybe I'm biased, but I feel like she would be a Crow.
Ok listen, I'm definitely biased but it just feels right. Crows get a bad rap, they are so cool! They are so intelligent and have the ability to actually sit and think about the past, prest, and future. I forget what its called, but this was only seem in humans! Maybe other apes, I can't remember exactly, but either way its awesome. They do live in groups, or murders, and remember people and faces. They remember locations and are able to pass down information through generations. They essentially have their own language! They are able to use tools too!
Alice's story is really sad. When we first meets her, it revolves around the death of her mother and her institutionalized. She was essentially tortured and forgot everything from her past. All she had was the future and even that wasn't constant. Crows a often viewed as omens, they are associated with death. I personally believe that instead of being the cause, they just know something is going to happen. They are very inquisitive and can be creative.
If you befriend a murder of crows, sometimes, depends or the group, they will bring gifts. Its can range from food to shiny metals and colorful plastic. Hell, I think I've seen a post of one stealing things from people just to gift it to their human.
Alice's love language is gifts. Even if they are focused around fashion, she still goes out of her way to get something that will look good and at least be a little comfortable. By that I mean she tends to forget peoples comfort zones, but she means well.
Jasper: Honestly not to sure what to put for him. I know a predator would be more fitting, but for some reason I can see a donkey working. I know, seems like I'm clowning on the confederate. Fair, but I'm serious about the donkey thing. Honestly, it would be perfect if it wasn't a herbivore. Porcupine would also work.
Being a predator would make more sense. Given his backstory and his characterization, it wouldn't make sense for him to be a prey animal. Usually I wouldn't count this, but given his gore filled past and trouble with the diet, it seemed fitting.
I see him as a Big Cat. Honestly, vamps in general just give cat vibes. Jasper though especially have some cat like qualities, which originates from hunting and being a soldier.
I specifically see him as a Mountain Lion. Aside from him being blonde, he just has the predatory stealth to him. In midnight sun, we see him use his gift to make the nomads overlook him. He's honestly really powerful.
Mountain lions are known for being stealthy with an air of grace and power to them. They are stong animals. And I mean strong. They can jump 40-45 feet.
They're very elusive and quite. They stalk their prey and tend to attack from behind but don't think they won't hold their ground if need be.
Jasper was changed during the Civil War and forced to fight in the Newborn wars. He was a soldier as a human and as a vampire. He's able to feel and manipulate others emotions. He's covered in scars and is very intimidating.
He still struggles with the diet and honestly I hate how the others handle it. Like they have no room to talk. I don't want to defend the confederate but it just pisses me off. He has to deal with his hunger on top of everyone else's. Like damn, besties always on edge! Everyone doubts him which I don't think helps any.
Also, Mountain lions and Cheetahs can purr!
@aquanova99 I'll do a Volturi one too. That one will be fun lmao

I would love to hear more of your thoughts about the aesthetic shift in the Asgardians between Thor 1 and TDW, because I have watched TDW approximately 987 times and that's something I never thought about before! (Also bless you for all the nice thoughts on TDW, it's truly one of my favorites even though there are some clumsy components. But also so much good! ❤️)
the aesthetic shift between the Asgard of Thor and the Asgard of The Dark World is the most hilarious thing to me. (Ragnarok Asgard follows TDW rather than do Yet Another Thing.)
so the Asgard of Thor is much more sci-fi than it is fantasy. look at that. it's basically all metal with occasional plants. it's got that floating, like, whatever off to the right. what is it? we don't know. it's floating! wild! and then once we get inside, we see...MORE METAL.
We've got that Viking-esque gripping beasts knotwork that's historically-based (it's essentially Oseberg style, Urnes style, a mash-up of a few different Norse(ish) styles) and that's something that's actually consistent between films. But the overall aesthetic of Asgard in Thor is sci-fi with the barest possible touch of fantasy. It's all metal. Aside from that gripping beast design and the occasional monumental statue, there's almost no decoration. It's either plain metal or it has that, I guess, inscribed design that we saw on the floors in the convocation room (throne room?) or in Odin's bedroom. Also it's really just a whole lot of gold.
Fast forward two years, real time, to The Dark World.
Here's Asgard. It's a different angle than the opening introduction to Asgard in Thor, but it's a lot more naturalistic, all of a sudden we have these mountains in the background; aside from the palace, we're seeing more stone.
Note that we still continue to see that same gripping beast design as decoration; however, now it's being done in stone, in wood; we no longer see the same kind of solid mass of metal and of gold that we see in Thor. There is not a single shared space on Asgard between Thor and TDW -- the only place that really keeps that former aesthetic to some extent is the Observatory, which obviously got destroyed in Thor, so it's not even the same building in-universe. This TDW aesthetic is the one that's carried through Ragnarok, into Endgame, and comes back again in Loki when we see Asgard there. It's a sci-fi aesthetic shift to a high fantasy aesthetic shift; this is what we see similarly in LotR, in The Hobbit films, in most of the high fantasy that has come out in the past twenty years: it is a very clear visual marker that this is fantasy, this is not sci-fi -- yeah, space fantasy in this case, but it's operating with fantasy tropes (which I've talked about before).
This is mirrored slightly in the costumes -- it's not as dramatic between Thor and TDW (or rather, Thor and The Avengers) as it is between Thor and Ragnarok, but there's still a distinct shift; you can see them backing off the amount of metal that the characters are wearing until you get to Heimdall and Thor and Loki's all-leather costumes in Ragnarok, and then again in Endgame -- if you look at the non-einherjar Asgardians who come to the battlefield, they're all in leather, and Thor loses all of his metal (minus his cloak clasps) between AoU and Ragnarok; in IW and again in Endgame it's all black but his scale mail (which he never has in Ragnarok).
The answer to why they did this shift, or even why the original Thor Asgard design is what it is...my best guess is that Phase One, the MCU was really pushing the line on what they could do and get away with. So the first Thor works much more in-universe as science fiction rather than high fantasy, because high fantasy in space is weird. That's why we keep getting this repetition in the film of "okay, they're aliens, they're not gods" (and by Ragnarok that's gone entirely); they're not operating with magic, they're operating with technology that borders on the magical. You know, it was 2011; this was, at the time, the first MCU film that's really, really out there. Today it doesn't feel like it, but the two Iron Man films and The Incredible Hulk that preceded it are both really, really grounded in the real world. And compared to those, Thor is batshit; it's a paradigm shift; it's essentially...hmm, Phase One's WandaVision in terms of "okay, what can we get away with? how far can we push this envelope? okay, not that far." So it's riding this really, really weird line between sci-fi, between fantasy, between a superhero film, and even the way it shifts storytelling genres within the movie itself, with this really epic, large-scale drama playing out on Asgard and then the very grounded, the very down-to-earth science-y, government agency stuff that's happening on Earth. And aesthetic-wise, they're going for the biggest possible contrast. It's weird. It's supposed to be weird! And it's weird in a way that's not comfortable, that didn't really age well, and then when they went back to Asgard for TDW they went for full high fantasy in the aesthetic, then stuck to it for the rest of the MCU.

Whacky Gotham, Goofy New York, and Chaotic Paris.
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 8)
Chapter 6: Evade The Bats, and Beat The Crows
•—–—–·†·–—–—•
The girls are in the old living room setting up clues (that are absolutely... useless) around Gotham. One being a picture Harley and Multimouse took earlier that day.
"They might think to look here after they realize the clues are fake." - Steph
"Then where else would they not think to look?" - Maria
"W.E, I can get you and Harley in without them knowing easily." - Barbara said with a confident smile.
"But they'll have to go incognito... especially you Harley, no offense, but your outfit stands out just a tad." - Steph
"Ehhh, none taken, I'm sure I can tink of somthin' else tuh wear." - Harley
"I can help with that, but I'll need some clothes and some sewing supplies." - Maria said already thinking of what she could make.
Cass gave a nod and headed out of the room, after a few minutes she came back with t-shirts, jackets, sweaters, shorts, jeans, etc. and droped the pile of clothes infront of the group. She then handed Maria a sewing set she got from Alfred.
"Thanks Cass. I'll get to work on making our costumes." - Maria
"Let me help yuh wit' dat hun." - Harley said as she picked up most of the clothes for Maria
"Thanks." Maria
•—–·Let's see the Chaos shall we·–—•
"You never told us she could use magic!" - Red Hood looking under the table
"I wonder if she can infuse magic with coffee..." - Red Robin said looking in the cabinets for the third time.
"Stop looking for coffee!" - Red Hood
"She could've hidden in here." - Red Robin said while crabbing a mug
"I haven't had enough sleep to deal with this." - Selina then walked over and flopped herself on the couch and proceeded to fall asleep on impact.
"Maria get your tiny self back here right now or else!" - Tony
"Or else what? She Knows MAGIC! What else does she know that you haven't told us?!" - Red Hood
"... I never told you becuase it's meant to be a secret!" - Tony
"Oh, so now you agree with keeping things a secret?" - Red Robin grabbing the coffee
"What else can she do Tony." - Batman
"Well... she's great with tech, can kick butt in a LOT of different ways, has magic, and if she wants to, she can find and know where everyone or anyone is, but I think she gets massive headaches from a wide search like that." - Tony
"Anything else?" - Batman
(Tony thinkng of all the tiny gods she has in jewelery, and that she keeps Paris/friends and family safe on a daily basis, and that she is the well known designer MDC...)"No..." - Tony
As ivy was listening to them talk, she continued to search her garden, until one of her plants had a message fo her.
"Hello Ms. Ivy, please don't help Batman and Iron Man find us, we promise we'll be careful." - Maria
"Where are you?" - Ivy asked whispering into the plant.
After a few minutes Ivy got a detailed plan that Maria, Harley and the girls came up with to evade The IronBat group (Maria thought that would be better than ManMan group 'But it's Bat MAN and Iron MAN, so it has tuh be The ManMan group.' was Harleys defence, but Maria won that one.) and Ivy agreed to help as best she could.
•—–· Over to the Miraculous gang ·–—•
Plagg is cackling like there's no tomorrow.
"Guys something must be wrong, Plagg won't stop cackling, he won't even touch the cheese I gave him!!!" - Adrien
"There's no time for that, we need to find out where the hell Maria is!!" - Chloé
"Hahahaha, Ti- heheh Tikk- pffhaaaaaaahaha!!!" - Plagg
"He's trying to form words!" Adrien cradling Plagg in his hands "What is it my friend? Don't do this, you're to young...*sniff * you're to beautiful!"
"Hehehehe Shhhh- hahaha, she- she- haha...heheh- I'm so p-hehe-Proud wahahaha " - Plagg
"Proud?! She?! Where?! Who, is it Maria?!" - Chloé
"Hhhhhhhhahhaaaaaaaaaa" - Plagg
"Oh God he's wheezing!" - Adrien
"Hey guys, Peter and I got the snacks, found out where Maria might- oh kwami." - Alix walking into the room to a zombie looking Chloé, a panicked Adrien and the Kwami of death/bad luck/chaos laughing himself to death.
"Has he finally lost it?" - Peter
"She has become a true cat! hahahahahaaaaa heheheheeeeeee." - Plagg
Everyone in the room but Plagg "Oh fu-"
•—–· Over to the Batfam ·–—•
So everyone is panicking because for the past hour none of them could find Multimouse. Robin is sitting on the couch next to a now fully awake Selina, Red Hood and Nightwing are once again feeding each other the worst possible situation she could be in, Tony may or may not be hyperventilating, Red Robin is drinking coffee, and Batman is as stoic as ever... well on the outside anyway, on the inside, it's a warzone. Ivy is drinking her tea, slightly worried, but also hiding a small smile.
"What if we ask Oracle to try and help us find her?" - Red Robin
"... Right... Yes, ok let's do that... Bats you do it, I need to sit down." - Tony
•—–· Back to the girls ·–—•
The girls moved everything to the Bat-cave so they could set the route they would take, then the Bat-Computer started ringing.
"Hide!" - Steph
"Where, dere's nuttin' tuh hide behind!" - Harley
"Quick under the Bat-Computer." - Barbara
As soon as Harley and Maria hid under the Bat-Computer, Batman and the rest of the Batfam was on video call.
"Hey guys, what do you need?" - Barbara acting like nothing happened
"We need you to search for Maria, she's in a dark gray suit with pink accents, and she's with Harley." - Batman
"Ok, no prob, I'll contact you when I've found something." - and with that Barbara exited the call.
"Should we start heading out?" - Maria
"Yup, and here are your ID badges, don't lose them. I'll give our Batfam fake sightings, and lead them far away, then once you reach W.E I'll slowly start leading them closer to you." - Barbara
"Thanks, keep in touch if they decide to split up." - Maria
"Roger that." - Steph said giving a solute
•—–·–—•
Soon Multimouse and Harley are running over roof tops again, doing tricks, and stopping petty crimes, Barbara is leading the Batfam all over Gotham, and then they got to W.E, after Maria transformed back, they entered the building. Thanks to Babs, they entered without any problems and had free roam for the entire building, with some exceptions like new weapons designs, or the roof. They were hiding in the building for about an hour on the 7th floor when Barbara called in.
"Hey girls, you might want to be careful, I spotted some of Scarecrows goons a few blocks away, they seem to be heading in your direction, I'd say about 6mins tops until they reach W.E. Best to find a good room to stay in, or get out of there." - Barbara
"Thanks fawh de heads up Babs." - Harley
"Ok, we'll try to get out, let us know if we should turn back or not." - Maria
"Got it, and be careful." - Barbara
Maria and Harley then made their way back down, they were taking the stairs, because they figured it would be quicker, once they were on the second floor, they started to calmly make their way through the doors of the stairwell. That's when Scarecrows goons busted in, shouting for everyone to get down, Harley made sure to stay as close to Maria as possible as the goons gathered everyone to a wall. They were told to not move, talk, or do anything to anger them, once everyone was up against the wall, that's when Scarecrow came in. As he entered the room some of the employees started to look very scared, when Maria looked over to Harley, she saw her mouth 'it's ok', afterwards the goons had them all tied up and on the floor sitting down. Scarecrow scanned them before speaking.
"One of you will be testing my newest and most potent fear toxin as of yet. We can do this one out of two ways." He said lifting up two of his needle syringed fingers. "1. You can be a hero, and let yourself be my newest test subject, aka the boring way or 2. I pick whoever I want, aka the slightly less boring way. Now, who wants to go first?"
•—–· Over to Batman ·–—•
The Batfam was running around the other side of Gotham, now without Tony, because someone ( ehem Thor, ehem) was making a giant mess at Avengers Tower, and was fighting Loki... again. It was when they decided to call Oracle that things took another turn.
"Oracle have you foun- " - Batman
"They're at W.E. and Scarecrows there, I can't get in contact with them, and I can't get into the cameras at the moment, I need you to get your butts over there now!" - Oracle
"Wait you were in contact with them?!" - Red Hood
"Not the time! Just get over there before someone gets hurt!" - Oracle
"We're on our way." - Batman
They all then kicked it into high gear and were running to W.E, and out of everyone, Damian seemed to be the most visibly panicked, if him running twice as fast as everyone was any indication. At the speed they were going, they would be there in 20mins or less... hopefully.
•—–· Back to Maria and Harley ·–—•
So while Scarecrow was giving his little speech, Maria whispered into a plant to let Ivy know their situation, she wasn't able to get an answer before she and Harley were pulled away from the crowd.
"And what do we have here? Harley Quinn and a child. How interesting, well then, which one of you would like to test my new fear toxin?" - Scarecrow
"Eh, do me, I bet I got a lot o' trauma and fears from my time wit' Mistuh J. dat yuh would just love tuh see." - Harley
"... As tempting as that sounds I think I'll test it on your little friend here, after all, I know better than to mess with one of the Sirens." - As Scarecrow said that, one of the goons dragged Maria over to him. She didn't panic, she was actually really calm, which worried Harley even more because, remember all that emotional trauma she saw Maria had? Yeah, not the best match for the fear toxin.
As Scarecrow grabbed Maria, she locked eyes with Harley, and gave a brief smile before she felt a sharp jabbing pain in the side of her neck. Her vision went hazy, and from Harleys' point of view, she went a little limp from it.
As Maria started to see again she could hear screams, car alarms going off, and explosion in the distance, when she looked up, she saw them, her friends, her team... her family, they were all there lying infront of her... none of them moving, all of them were lifeless, looking as though turned into a gray husk of what they once were, and beside them were all the Kwamis, and their respective Jewelery, broken and shattered. She felt the tears fall as she looked around. Paris, the once beautiful city of lights, was now a wasteland, everything had a gray tone to it, people, animals, everything that had life... was dead.
And then she heard laughing, a sick disturbing laugh that was all to familiar... Lila. When she turned and saw Vulpina, she felt sick just looking at her.
"You have failed Maria, everyone you knew and loved is gone, all because you weren't here." - Lila
All she felt in that moment... was pure anger, she began to struggle, but somthing was holding her. She kept hearing that stupid laugh, and kept struggling harder and harder.
"You were never good enough, you were meant to always be our everyday Ladybug, but you never were, you never cared for us, and that's why, they're all gone, because you weren't good enough." - Lila
The last four words kept playing over and over in her head, until something clicked, she wasn't in Paris, so how did she get there? The last place she was at... was with Harley, she was in the W.E. building, and had fear toxin injected into her. As she came to that realization, she could hear the laughing fade just a bit, she closed her eyes and focused on finding everyone's souls, when she did, she saw that Scarecrow was right infront of her, a goon next to Harley, and a goon behind her, the other goons had left and were on the first floor. She snapped back when she heard Lilas' voice again.
"You always were stubborn and never accepted the real truth, as class president aren't you supposed to just roll over and do as you're told." - Lila
Maria was done listening to her, and decided to kick Lila in the face (since someone didn't think to tie up her ankles.)
"Just go rott in hell already you lieing fox!" - Maria
Maria didn't get any answer, all she knew was that she hit whatever was really infront of her hard. Maria then heard Lilas' voice morph into a heavier, more distorted voice.
"That's a first, guess I'll have to increase the dosage." - Scarecrow
She then felt another jabbing pain in her neck, all she could do was scream from the pain, her head was spinning, and all she could hear was laughing, sickening laughter that came from both Lila, and now Hawkmoth. One thing Scarecrow didn't account for, was the deep hatred Maria held for both individuals he made her see. Because soon after he gave her more fear toxin she got her footing, pushing back into the goon behind her before using the goons' grib on her to do a half backflip into kicking the guys face in, quickly knocking the goon out, when she stood back up she only saw Hawkmoth, surrounded by her lifeless team and family, she only saw red, and charge right at him. She kept punching and roundhouse kicking him, giving one final charge, ramming into Hawkmoth before she felt weightless. She never heard the panicked scream Harley let out, she never heard the shouts that came from the Batfam just reaching the second floor, before she hit something... something rapped around her holding her from falling any further, causing her to start thrashing around thinking it was Hawkmoth, before seeing he was also grabbed by something. She struggled ignoring the slight pain that went through her harms and legs. She slowly calmed down as she felt her feet touch the ground again, she then saw another Hawkmoth that was now mixed with Lila hug her, she tried to break free, but realized that it wasn't Lila or Hawkmoth... It was calming, and her voice was gentle, it was Ivy. She only heard a few words, that's when she felt something blow on her face, and after a few seconds, she lost conscientiousness.
Harley came sprinting down and was by Ivys' side in less than a minute. Ivy could tell Harley was worried and joined her in hugging a now sleeping Maria.
"I'm sawhry Ives, It all just happened so fast, and she was so awesome at kickin' Cranes @ss, I din't get her out of dere quick enough." - Harley said as she looked Ivy in the eyes, with tears threatening to escape.
"It's alright Harley, none of this is your fault." - Ivy replied comfortingly to Harley
As the two hugged Maria Batman came over.
"We'll take it from here." - Batman
"Hell no. We ain't leavin' her side." - Harley
Batman just let out a sigh, after he dealt with Scarecrow and his goons, Batman, along with his sons, Ivy and Harley, all headed back to the Bat-cave where the other girls and Alfred were waiting.
If anyone noticed Robin looking over to Maria with a concerned look, they just ignored it, and continued their way back home.

Introduction
A & P Role Swap (Aiden & Petra Role Swap).... my beloved. Anyway! Yes, I come baring a snippet that could potentially become more because I'm really enjoying writing this. But, if I do write more, it will likely not be a full novelization but rather just moments of interaction between Aiden and Jesse (and potentially Petra and Jesse). Enjoy!!!
The air was dry and hot which wasn't unusual for early autumn, but it did make standing out in the early evening sun a bit of a hassle. Jesse was using their team ballot to fan herself as she watched the other teams unpack their materials. Competition was stiff this year. Everyone wanted a chance to meet Gabriel. It meant they'd have to really do their best. The idea was a winner, but they had to execute it well too and that was a whole other can of worms. They could do it though, she was sure of it! Except for that their biggest competition was right next to them and they had a beacon.
"Is that a freakin' beacon?" Axel whined, "They have a freakin' beacon? Freakin' beacon?"
Jesse frowned as she watched the opposing team take inventory of their materials. A beacon was hard to make. Jesse doubted they actually made it themselves, but, then again, they had Maya on their team and she was a whiz with anything mechanical. But then where did they get the Nether Star? The rarity of the material alone would be enough to skyrocket their score.
"That's stained glass." Olivia cut in, arms crossing as her features pulled into a deeper frown. "They aren't just building a beacon, they're building a rainbow beacon."
Jesse sighed. Of course. Lukas was never one to do something simple. Always had to one up anyone. He must have gotten the inspiration from the second place winner last year. They'd made a spectacular beacon display. Jesse had been jealous she hadn't thought of that. She was even more jealous she didn't think of a rainbow beacon of all things. They were super popular right now.
"We're gonna lose."
Jesse frowned at Olivia before cutting her eyes over to Petra. If the redhead heard them even having the slightest of doubts in their own design they'd never hear the end of it.
"No, we got this! Sure, they might be close, but I have faith in our design! It's fun and functional!"
Olivia crinkled her nose and hung her head.
"So is theirs, Jesse."
Her shoulders slumped as she returned to watching The Ocelots. Olivia was right. The judges would favor the more technically advanced and popular idea to the overdone one, but Jesse wasn't willing to admit defeat yet. They'd just have to wait for judging.
"We should probably stop staring at them."
Jesse's nose crinkled. Yeah, they probably should before they notice and~
Gill's laughter broke through their brief silence as he pointed at them.
"Look! It's the Order of the Losers. Again."
Maya laughed; icy blue eyes fixing on them as a sneer curled her lips upward.
"Good one, Gill!"
Petra turned and locked eyes with her, features pulling into a mischievous grin as she set her hands on her hips.
Too late.
"We're just looking." Olivia said, voice firm but shaking at the edges.
The redhead laughed, the other two joining in.
"Don't blame you. I'd look too. Can't wait until it's sitting pretty in the Winner's Circle."
Jesse grit her teeth.
"You don't know that," Axel retorted, "anyone could win."
Petra laughed. Jesse clenched her fists.
"I think I do, but we'll just build and see what happens."
Her eyes drifted down to Reuben and she chuckled.
"Cute costume."
Jesse could feel her nails digging into her palm. She forced a smile.
"Thank you."
The tense silence between them only lasted for a few moments. Lukas's voice cutting in from behind them.
"Petra, come on, leave them be."
The redhead looked over her shoulder at the blonde and sighed.
"Yeah, yeah, Lukas," she huffed before turning back to her with a grin. "Good luck, Jesse, you're gonna need it."
With that the redhead pivoted on her heel and headed toward their booth, Maya and Gill following after her. Jesse unclenched her fists finding that she had left nail prints in her palms. She sighed and rubbed at the afflicted area; a glower fixed on Petra's back. Footsteps approaching from behind caught her attention and she turned to find Aiden approaching with his favorite pickaxe slung over his shoulder. All anger seemed to drain out of her.
"Hey guys!" he greeted, eyes meeting hers. "Jesse."
A smile lifted her features.
"Hey, Aiden."
Axel and Olivia parroted the same greeting. The latter cutting her eyes over to the ocelots before hanging her head.
"You ready for the build?"
Jesse shrugged, head hanging slightly.
"I dunno, dude," Axel answered. "We're optimistic though."
"Hey! That's the spirit! You'll get 'em, I'm sure of it!"
"Aiden! Hey!" Lukas interjected, jogging over to them. "I never thanked you for that Nether Star."
"Hey, Lukas!" Aiden said with a grin, shaking the blonde's hand. "No worries! I'd do it anytime!"
Axel scoffed arms crossing. "You helped these tools?"
Aiden shrugged.
"Hey, for the right price, I'll help anybody." His eyes cut over to Jesse and he flashed a brief smile. "I gotta go, but I'll be in town later," he walked passed them and toward the forest. "Find me then, okay?"
"No one can ever find you!" Olivia called after.
Aiden chuckled giving a small wave.
"I like it that way!"
Jesse watched after the brunette. She wondered where he was off to and what he was doing; Likely a job. He was never without clientele, someone always had something that needed found or got or taken care of. He thrived in the work, but Jesse wondered if he ever took a break.
"No hard feelings guys," Lukas said, Jesse cut her gaze to the blonde and found it narrowing. "If you're cool with Aiden, you're cool with us."
Silence stretched between them and Lukas chuckled rubbing the back of his neck.
"So, why don't we just forget about all this, and, y'know... make this about how cool our builds are."
Jesse scrunched her nose.
"We're gonna crush you."
He chuckled, the corners of his lips lifting upward. Petra snickered; Maya and Gill joining in.
"I don't know if you know this, but we're pretty good." his smirk grew into a full grin. "Oh! Wait! I get it! It's like a joke, right?"
She glowered at him.
"No. I'm serious. We're gonna destroy you."
He laughed again, flashing a smile her way.
"Y'know, you're really funny. That's awesome. Hey, good luck."
The announcer blew her whistle then and Jesse's glare cut from Lukas to her. It was time to see who would be the winner and who wouldn't.

Ayama POV
Today is the day we finally get our hero costume! I was talking with Mina as she gave me everyone phone numbers so I got to know everyone a bit better before class started. We all went to our seat as the clock hit 8:23. Home room went by fast.
We have Uncle Mic for English which is the most easiest thing ever. Although everyone was really bored during this time. I almost fell asleep until I heard he speak.
"Which of these four sentences contains a mistake?" My uncle asked the class. I can tell that Jirō, Ashido, and Kamninari faces read 'so boring.' I really can't blame them.
"This really sucks." Katsuki said. My Uncle Mic caught on to that and started to panic. " Hey everybody, look alive! Grammar rules!" He shouted. I just looking the way towards Bakugou who was only two seats away from me.
God why do I have this feeling. I saw him look back and I then pretend I was just focus on the lesson. "Nerd." I heard him say. I only quitely giggled. Momo had answered the questions. After a few classes it was lunch.
The lunch room was huge. I saw Izuku, Ochaoco, and Tenya. So, I decided I would go sit with them. The food was really great. And a cheap price. So there was nothing to complain about when it came to food.
"White rice is the perfect comfort food, isn't it?" A chef robot asked us. "Yes of course." I said with a close eye smile and my hands above my chest. Although I like yellow rice more... Ochaoco nodded while Izuku was whimpered and Tenya seems surprised.
Lunch had ended and we all went back to our class. I was talking with Momo on the way there turn out she was sitting with Jirō so if I want. I can sit with them next time. Now since it's the afternoon It's was time for Hero Basic Training!
We we're all seated waiting and wondering who our next teacher would be. "I am here!" Oh God. "Coming through the door like a hero!" Uncle All Might spoke. I was cringing at his intro and the way he came through the door.
All the students were gasping. Even Izuku. I mean he has looked up to All Might all his life. I guess it's can't be helped. "I can't believe it's really All Might" Denki said, surprised. "So he is a teacher! This year's going to be totally awesome!" Eijior spoke up.
Well they did say he was going to be apart of the staff this year. "This year has gotten a whole lot interesting." I said. "Hey look. Is he wearing his Sliver Age costume?"
Tsu pointed out while my uncle was making huge step towards the front of the classroom. "I'm getting goosebumps. It's so retro!" Ojiro said.
"Welcome to the most important class at U.A High. Think of it has Hero-ing 101." He got the first sentence right. "Here you will learn the basics of being a pro. And what it means to fight in the name of good!" My Uncle said bravely.
"Let's get into it! Today's lesson will pull no punches!" He shouted. I was so excited my eyes widened. "Fight training." Katsuki said,by his voice I could tell he was happy. While Midoriya.... "Real combat?"Izuku sounded unsure.
"But the one of the keys of being a good hero is... Looking good!" He pointed towards some empty slots as they came out. "These were design for you based on your Quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started." He said. The whole class was excited.
"Get yourself suited up and then meet me at Training Ground Beta!"He shouted "Oh and Miss Ayama." He said. I look his direction. And the whole class had eyes on me.
"Someone from the staff add something with your outfit. They'd said it'll help with your voice." He said. I nodded knowing it was my dad. "Let's get moving Heros!" He shouted.
He shouted. After getting our new hero outfit on. I took a look at the new piece of jewelry. It's a sliver choker with wavy designs and in middle of it was the shape of a crescent moon.
All the girls were complimenting each other. So when I showed them my outfit they were amazed. "The outfit looks really on you, Ayama." [Mina]
"Aw thanks, Mina" [Ayama]
We were all just waking through a tunnel. So I don't get it. Oh well. "Hey Ayama can you make a beat when were walking towards the outside?" Denki ask. "Oh that's would cool." Eijior said. "Sure." I said. I then thought a beat them played it. (Same in the episode.) "Nice." Hanta said.
"They say that clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof! Take this to heart. From now on you're all... Heroes in training!" He shouted.
As we all step out into the light. " This is getting me all revved up. You look so cool!" He said excited. " Now. Shall we get started you buncha newbies?" He shouted. Wait a minute. Where Izuku?
"Hey Deku!" I heard Ochaoco said. I was standing right next to her. "Nice costume Deku!" I said. "Thanks your guys costume look nice as well." He said going fully pink. "Yeah, but Ochaoco is really cool." I said. "Your amazing Ayama." She said.
"I love this school." Mineta said. "Yeah it's pretty cool." I said. "Yeah, but I like this school for other reasons." He said in a seductive tone. 'Let me not even say anything.'
She said as she has me now standing near her. I hear Uncle All Might small growl for a moment. That when I realized something. His costume and Izuku. Izuku making something things a bit too obvious.
"Now that your ready, it's time for combat training." Uncle All Might said. "Sir." Iida said. He basically had a question about if we're doing the same thing with the exam. Which we're not.
"Run-ins with the most dastardly evildoers take place indoors. Think about it. Backroom, deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows." He explained.
"For this training exercise you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys and fight two on two-one-two battles." Uncle All Might said.
"But Sir, their 21 of us." Ashido said. He really does have trouble teaching kids. "Let's see. I'll have One team in group of three!" He said. Students then start asking more questions.
"Ugh. I wasn't finished talking!" He pulls out a small book. "The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The hero must try to foil their plans." He said.
"To do that the good guys either have to catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the Heros." He explained.
"Time's limited, and we'll choose teams drawing lots!" He shouted. "Isn't there a better way away?" Iida interrupted. "Think about it! Pros often have to team up with heroes from other agencies on the spot, so maybe that's the reason we're seeing that here." Izuku explain to him.
"Yes, I see. Life is a random series of events. Excuse my Rudeness." Iida said. "No sweat. Let's Draw!" My uncle shouted.
A: Izuku and Ochaoco
B: Shoto and Mezo
C: Momo, Minoru, and Ayama
D: Bakugo and Tenya
F: Mina and Yuga
E: Rikido and Koji
G: Kyoka and Denki
H: Tsu and Fumikage
I: Toru and Mashiro
J: Eijior and Hanta
Those are the groups we're in. "Who would've thought I'd be the lucky one with two girls!" I heard Mineta said. "Huh? Why is that?" I asked. "Because-" But Momo smack him in the head. "Nothing pure I can tell you that." She said leaving Mineta with a big bump.
"I declare that the first teams to fight will be... These guys!" He said while throw the ball in the air and caught them. The balls read A and D. Man I was actually looking forward to fighting with Katsuki. He looks really good in that outfit same with Momo.
I think he felt my eyes on him, because he look my was and I quickly turned away and blush. "Team A will be the Heros and team D will be the villains." My Uncle shouted. I look towards Bakugo he had this please smile on his face like evil fun.
"Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!" He shouted. "Yes, sir." I made eye contact with Izuku and Bakugo. ' Give it your all, but don't end killing each other.' look. I saw Bakugo just look away while I gave Izuku a pat on the shoulder.
As walking away I notice the stares Bakugo gave him. But Izuku fights back the stare back looking back at him shocking Bakugo making him even more fierce."Come on Ayame!" Ashido called out. "Oh coming!" As I run towards them.
I felt a energy coming from somewhere. It was negative one. But I ignore it while walking with the other to the monitoring room. Don't kill him.
"I wonder how this will play out." Eijior said. "Hopefully okay." I said. "Speaking of okay. Is THAT okay?" I heard Eijior asked pointing down at my thigh. "Huh?" I look down only to see Mineta holding onto my thigh.
"Ehh?!?" I shouted. "I bet your thighs are so warm. I can already tell there very big & thick." My face is really heated when he said that. His face was so...
"You pervert!" Ashido shouted while Momo hit him in the head. "Oww!" He cried. "Next time, don't grab on my thigh. Thanks." I said. "I was mostly talking about how he got Ayama all to his self, but yeah...." Eijior mutter.
My uncle All Might came in as we all put our straight faces on. As he went towards the screens. "All right! Let's being the indoor combat training! Team A and Team D, your time starts now!" He shouted through the mic.
"Pay attention, kids. Think about what you would do." My uncle said. I know it's going to be hard Midoriya, but you gotta get through this! If anything happens me or my uncle will stop it.
We watch how the enter the building through a window. As they were walking down the hallways and about to turn a corner. Bakugo came out of nowhere and I could see the hatred in his eyes. As he made a full on blow towards Midoriya.
Thankfully he missed them as they both went on the floor. But Midoriya quickly stood up. "He almost got the jump on them." Mineta said. "Sneak attack, Bakugo? What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?" Eijior questioned.
"It's a viable strategy. He's playing the part. Acting like a true Villain would." My uncle said. But that not the reason. "No it's because Bakugo is filled up with so much pride in himself." I whisper. "It's didn't work Midoriya doge him!" Mina pointed out.
"Looks, there he goes!" Denki said. Bakugo was charging towards Midoriya. But Midoriya stop him by holding one his gauntlet. He then flipped him to the ground. Alright! "Deku is a name of a hero!" He shouted, but mouth it is what it look towards us.
"Hey who is he talking to? I'm not hearing anything. Can we get any sound with this video?" Eijior asked talking about Bakugou. "He got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner. I gave it to him before the match started. Along with the map of the building. Also this a roll of capture tape!" My uncle explained.
"Wrapping this around your opponent means you've apprehended them, and their out for the rest of the game." He explained. "So, there's a 15-minute time limit, and the good guys have idea what floor I nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?" Ashido asked. "Correct!" My Uncle shouted.
"And the Heros are clearly at a disadvantage here. A big one!" Ashido said. "Well think about it. That's usually how villains are." I said. To which my uncle nods. "That's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor, we fight!" He said.
"All together!" He shouted of course. " Let's hear a Plus Ultra!" We shouted as one. "Monsieur. He's on the move." Yuga said which quickly caught all of our attention.
Izuku seem to be telling Ochaoco to run away. Deku was doing okay with holding Kaachan off for awhile. While students were giving him compliments. "Who do you think will win?" I ask Momo. "Hmm. It's still a bit to early to tell." She said. Katsuki was ready to use his next move, but Izuku ran away.
"That guy has some real angry issues." Denki said. "Facts." I said. But it's mostly because of his pride which is too high and it's needs to be knock down.
I watch as Bakugo knocked down walls of the building. His pride has really turn him into something else. I could only think back when we were little kids. We were by the beach skipping pebbles.
Katsuki being the jerk he is and his other friends. Tease Deku about his pebble drowning so fast. I found it ridiculous.
I guess he had a soft spot for me back then. I don't know about now. I snapped back to reality. I look up on screen seeing that Bakugo had used one of his gauntlet on Midoriya. I can tell that Bakugo is angry. And I know he not trying to kill Midoriya but this is too far.
"Ayama run to the building to help Midoriya and Ochaoco!" My uncle shouted. "You'll still be on team C, but just Go!" He said.
"Ayama be careful!" Momo spoke. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." I said before running towards to the floor Midoriya and Ochaoco had first enter.
I quickly followed the loud noise. I hummed making butterflies appear and followed them. I finally made it towards them. I heard my uncle tell Bakugo if he use his gauntlet again he his team will lose.
I saw Bakugo think about his decision. As Midoriya notice me, but I made the sign to speak. My hoodie fell off as I started to use my Quirk. My hair floated up while getting longer as I felt my eyes glow red.
My scarf was lifting up as well. I saw Midoriya talking to Ochaoco through his ear set. "Fine! We'll fight hand to hand combat!" He shouted While run towards him. I quickly sent my scarf pieces to capture Bakugo.
"Hn! Mr.Aizawa!" Bakugo grunted knowing he couldn't escape my scarf. I was holding it. "Wrong one." I said.
"What the hell are you doing here!" He shouted at me. "I get it you're upset, because he has a Quirk. That's doesn't mean you should try to almost kill him!" I told him. I felt him stop struggling. I think he finally got the memo. I let go of him.
He then run up to Izuku. And Izuku saw it coming. He was ready. But Bakugo had another plan in mind. Once he did his move he was going to to right hook him. I quickly jump and landed in front of Izuku and move him out of the way and doge Bakugo's attack.
I quickly jump above him. Then using one of my knee, I quickly bend it into Bakugo back. While grabbing his gauntlet and jabbing it into his back. "Ack!". He shouted. I got off of him.
He got up. He look angry at me. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, IDIOT!" He yelled at me. I active my Quirk making my eyes glow red. Using his Quirk I sent an explosion his way.
Which he blocked with his gauntlet. He surprised me when it look like he was coming for me, but I remember that Deku was behind me.
He push me out the way. I saw him right hook Izuku by using the metal part of his gauntlet. I saw Izuku use his all for one Quirk. But I black out.
"Luna." That voice... Sounds so familiar, but why can't I remember? I snapped out of thought. "Ayama?" I looked up to see My Uncle Might looking concerned.
I then looked everywhere. I saw Deku getting dragged away by the medical robot. And Katsuki just standing looking at his gloves.
"Are you alright?" My uncle asked me. "Yeah I'm fine." I said slowly getting up. "Alright then. Head back to where they others are. I'm going to have a word with Bakugou." He's told me. I nodded and started to walk back.
"Luna." My vision became a bit blurry. I felt a liquid coming come out of my ears. I touch one of my ears. I bring my hand in front of me. It kinda look fuzzy, because of my vision. But I know it's blood. Next thing I hear is something or someone drop.
"Ayama!"
I slowly open up my eyes only to find myself in the nurses office. I see Midoriya leave as my Dad walk in. "Oh, so you're awake." My Dad said. "Yeah..." I said. I saw him look worried a bit, which was weird. But Nana look even more worried.
"I heard a voice-" "Did your ears bleed?" He asked me and I nodded. "Shit.." he said. "Is something wrong?" I ask him. This time I was raising an eyebrow at him. "Nothing that you should be worried about. You'll be riding home with me today. No choice." He said in a strict manner then left. I just groaned.
"You know he just looking out for you." Recovery girl said. "I know Nana, it's just... I feel like he won't tell me anything." I said. She just sighed as walking over to me giving me a kiss draining me.
"I'm sure he has a good reason for it. Now hurry and go to the staff room." She said. "Okay see you later Nana." I said before leaving.
I made my way back to the classroom. I open the door only for my feet decide to not work. Resulting to me falling.
"Ayama!" Some students said in shock. "Ow." I said. Momo and Ochaoco came to help me out. "Be careful." Momo said as I got my balance back. "Thanks." I said nicely. I chatted with them a bit before going to the bathroom to change then putting my hero costume back.
I asked them if they seen Bakugo they told me he left, but Midoriya went to talk for him. I thank them quickly than ran. I bump into someone. "Oh sorry-"
"Why are you in such a rush darling?" Kiyoshi asked me. "Not today I'm really not in the mood for your mind games." I said. 'Oh but I am." He said while licking his lips.
"I told you this before and I'll say again. Not interested." I simply said. "But I am." He grab my wrist. "If you don't get your hands off of me. There's finna be a problem. I'm not the shy little girl you saw in middle school." I told him.
"You mean the one who nobody like? Other than me?" He said. "You mean the one who almost got rape by you in the bathroom. Then yes."I said it and I could care less how he reacts.
"Will you shut up about that." He said rolling his eyes. "You have a girlfriend and side chicks. Go mess with her or with them." I said getting out of his grip.
{Pack Lite~Queen Naija}
(I really only like this part of the song)
“You can gon' 'head puff up your chest, but it bet not go no further.” I walked away from him. I might put on a brave face but I was honestly scared.
I walked towards my dad's personal office and just sat there doing homework assignments while he did work. After about 15 minutes. We left the school.
"Dad?"
"Hm?"
"Can I go near that cherry blossoms tree that you and mom used to sit at?" I asked. "You want to go outside after what happened? Hahaha. You're funny." He deadpanned.
"Dad it's only like a five to ten minute walk to get there. I'll be fine." I said. "No. And that's final." I just set head on the dashboard.
My eyes go wide as a gasp left my mouth.

"Shōta?"
'Hm."
"If I were to disappear one day. What would you do?"
"Kesshō..."
*A few moments of silence*
"Well?"
"Do what any other hero in Japan would do."
"That's what any other hero would do. I didn't ask what any other heroes would do. I ask what would Shōta do."
"The moment you're gone. I wouldn't know how to function or cope with myself, Kesshō. I would try to find you myself. No matter how long it takes. Even if it does take years."
"Why?"
"Because I love you."
﹏﹏﹏﹏S﹏﹏﹏﹏
What did I just witnessed?! I couldn't see anything faces. But black silhouettes of my parents, when they were younger.
Strange. I never had something like that happens before. "What is it?" I heard my Dad asked. "Just remembered that the nintendo switch you ordered for me comes today." Which wasn't a lie.
"And I need to walk the-"
"No."
"Well at least I tried."
I got out the car and grabbed my backpack. I closed the door and see my Dad already on the porch holding a box in his hand.
"Well?" I asked. "Ayama's." I quickly rushed up and hugged my Dad. "Thanks Dad!" I heard him chuckle. He patted my back.
I stop hugging him and got the box from him. My pupils change into stars. "Wait til you get inside the house." I heard my dad said. "Uh huh."
When he opened the door. I walked inside casually and took off my shoes. And once I reach the upper step. I bolted my butt upstairs and straight to my room.
"Hi Leo! Hi Nebula!"
I close my door and put the box on my bed. "I guess I should get changed first." I walk towards my dresser and pulled out a lightblue shirt with a butterfly on it. And black jeans.
I got undress and put the other clothes on. I went back to my bed and pick up the box and walked towards my desk.
Open my drawer. And got out my box cutter. The thing had tape on it. And I didn't want to use my nails that I did a few week ago. Nothing too long or crazy. Simple short white matte nails.
I opened the box and I was amazed by the design of it. “Lavender lunar sky. Nice. Now to test it out!"

Robbie as Bullock
This post will probably differ from the others in structure and be a lot longer for one big reason
When choosing Miraculous for the Lazytown characters i really wanted to only use ones that we've already seen in use in Miraculous Ladybug and know how they work from there.
For Robbie i broke that rule. I don't really remember what first made me consider it but it probably had to do with the fact that i think the Ox Miraculous, just aesthetically, would fit Robbie perfectly!
So for this one i had to start from scratch completely, no reference for a canon hero design, no idea what power or weapon he'd get, no clue what the phrase to transform could be.
Of cause i used the most references for him but here are the ten i found most important
Obviously i don't expect any of my speculations to become even remotely canon once we find out what Stompp, the Ox Miraculous, actually does but i hope it at least makes sense for now.
I like how I've drawn all the others standing head on to face the camera and Robbie just leans there. That's because you have to think he doesn't care, the little Tsundere
Concept Overview:
In the Miraculous Ladybug episode we meet all the Kwamis, including Stompp, he is the most actively concerned about Nooroo so now that the Butterfly Kwami is back I'm sure Stompp would want to stay around him. With Sportacus partnering with Nooroo, teaming up Robbie and Stompp made the most sense to them.
Design Notes Incoherent Thoughts I had to justify what I'm Drawing:
Purple and Blue - it amused me no end that with the choices i made blue Sportacus got a purple Kwami and purple Robbie got a blue kwami. I did kinda dislike at first how little blue the costume has in comparison to purple but i decided i don't have to make a decision because apparently the canon show can't make up its mind about Stompp's colour either. The blue and purple can always be swapped if i decide i don't like it
Harness - Ox' are hard working animals, mostly used to pull heavy objects. For that purpose they get strapped into a harness. Obviously i had to include that in this design, the chain hanging from the collar around his neck has a similar purpose (it only occured to me way too late how kinky it looks please ignore that)
Cape? No cape? - because of the imbalance in colours i briefly considered giving him a cape like a Matador would have but only for a second or so. I wanted to keep Robbie's iconic body shape untouched by a bunky cape, also the few times he wore a cape in the show he really struggled with it and also i think it would've clashed with the tail
Tail - speaking of which, an ox' tail has that frizzy end to it but i really liked the chain as his tail so to emulate the thicker part at the end i hung a padlock there. And that really worked. Not only bc that's just how bulls and ox are kept in check with their strength but also because the oblong shape of a combination lock makes for a fitting shape and can be used in universe. You see, Robbie is not that good with just saying what he wants or expressing how he feels. This four letter combination lock is magic and kinda betrays and helps him at the same time. It spells out any given four letter word that fits his mood best at any given moment
Miraculous Nosering - if a Lazytown character would unironically get a nosering, it'd be Robbie. I'm sorry, i don't take criticism on that
Horns - he needed horns. He just did. Look how good he looks with horns! But for real, in Miraculous Ladybug Chat Noir gets actual cat ears so he can get actual horns, also like Chat he the white parts of his eyes turn yellow like Stompp's while keeping his signature grey iris
Hair - ox' are mostly shown with like bangs covering their eyes so i couldn't resist ruffling his usually so perfectly done hair up to make it fall a little like that
Weapon - my first thought of "Miraculous takes cliché traits for animals to base their powers on so i guess bullfighting is the way to go here" made me really sad. This "Sport" is so disgusting i wanted to cry and puke while reading about it. I'll spare you the details but in addition to the Matador in the arena there's other guys too to weaken the bull before the Matador kills it, one of them throws knives. Miraculous Ladybug likes combining weapons with toys so I'm giving him darts. They are fastened to the front of his harness and i think how they can be used is along the lines of, once he zhrows them with his super strength and they pin into something they can only be removed when he allows that, also like the ladybug's jojo they can fly how long and whatever direction he wants, and probably also is able to just manifest them back to himself if ever one gets lost
Miraculous Power - again, just pure speculation here, but the powers we so far know of are all loosely based on an exaggerated cartoon trope of each animal so for the ox that is hard working and persistent and for the bull that'd be aggression and tunnel vision. While typing this i get the urge to add blinders to his mask but i digress. So i made up an exaggerated power that'd fit both but when i told my test group (two people) one said "oh, kinda like Bloodhound from Apex Legends" and the ozher said "so like hunter's mark from DnD" i play neither so i don't know but maybe you do do that's the short version of the explanation xD his power is based on the cartoonish depiction of a bull seeing something that bothers him and then charging at it for as long as he can until he gets it. Once Robbie focuses on an enemy or someone running away or someone he is following for whatever reason he can use his power to keep track of them. No matter how far away they go or where they try to hide. It sounds OP as shit but think of the Snake and Bunny who can both time travel and then say that again. The catch is he needs to use it while that person is still in clear sight for him so i think it balances a little better

Do you know the difference between a Bull and an Ox? Well, let me mansplain it to you anyway
The reason i kept switching between drawing inspiration from bulls and ox' is because it's the same animal. Those are both names for an adult male cow. The only difference being that an ox is castrated and a bull is not. Stompp is the Ox Miraculous so tough nuts Robbie, literally. But making babies isn't really on his to do list anyway with Sportacus as his partner so who cares.
Anyway, I had the design done and like always i struggled a lot with naming it
But then i learned a Bullock is not only a cool word that seems to be a mix of bull and lock like his design is but it also is the official name of a male cow too young to be castrated yet! Isn't that just perfect? I think it is
Also I'll include in this section the phrases one needs to speak to have Stompp transform them into this Ox themed Superhero and for the power to activate. If you think of something more fitting for either please let me know!
Transformation:
simple version - horns up / horns down
More detailed - time to charge / time to loaf
(charging is when a bull starts running blindly at something; loafing is the professional farmer term for a resting cow)
Power: Target Charge, Locked On, or my personal favorite option Head-On. Again going with the more in depth terminology, that's what the running style of a bull is called when he's chatging at a target
Story:
Robbie lived in Lazytown but when the kids grew louder and older and he got more annoyed wih not having his peace and quiet he just up and left. He spent a lot of time traveling around, living wherever it was comfortable and leaving when it wasn't anymore. Thanks to being an inventor and overall talanted crafty person he got by pretty easily as there was always a company running on "hire a lazy person for an important job, they'll find the easiest solution for the most complicated problems" so he never really had to worry.
Whether by coincidence or fate Robbie and Sportacus run into each other and despite Robbie being a little difficult they both immediately feel strangely drawn to one another. With time going by they meet more often, at first more or less by chance but eventually they plan to meet up regularly. They might have very different ways of doing it but they share a common lifestyle: helping out others to live a comfortable and fulfilling life.
Only after Sportacus was chosen to be the new Guardian of the Miracle Box he finally asks Robbie to join him, full time by his side traveling in his airship around the world wherever they may be needed. Of cause only for moral support and such, obviously. You see, they always enjoyed each others company and sort of over time eased into a relationship like coexistence but neither of them ever really acknowledged that. Only when Sportacus got Nooroo's power to sense other people's feelings that barrier of miscommunication fully fell. Robbie is incredibly bad with conveying his emotions but now Sportacus can sense that he has potentially the most powerful and purest emotions he ever encountered. Not only is each feeling of his powerful but when there is more than one at play they don't mix together and muddy each other but instead boost even more. He knew before that he wanted Robbie to join him but that discovery made it a necessity.
Despite not being able to actually say so Robbie is thrilled to come along. Only over time and with a lot of painfully slow conversations they manage to agree to make their relationship official.
Stompp, the sassy Ox Kwami, regularly bursts out of the Miracle Box to want to check on Nooroo and slowly he and Robbie bond over telling Sportacus and Nooroo to go easier on themselves and let a little responsibility get taken off their shoulders so eventually they team up and Bullock is created.
Thanks to Robbie's hard work to better himself with Sportacus' help, Stompp's magic transformation provides him with a tail that conveys his feelings for him.
When they hear that Lazytown has been wiped clean of grown-ups Sportacus immediately flies them over there so Robbie can check on his hometown. Finding only a few children, now teens, left there Robbie recognizes them and the two form the plan to give them Miraculous' too so they can help to find their lost family, friends and neighbors and fight together to bring them back.
Wow that was so much to read and you did it! I'm so impressed and thankful! You deserve a pat on the back (if you want one) and a cookie and/or sportscandy on your way out

SPONGEBOB THE MUSICAL: If you Don't Appreciate It I Will Come To Your House And Shank You
I don't know that much about musical theater. I've probably seen... well like actual stage productions performed on a stage, I've probably seen maybe four in my entire life. Five maybe. So you know, I'm no expert on this subject. I don't know much about the field or when I see a musical. I'm no expert on things like composition or set design or when I see something in a stage play I can't compare it very well to other things. I don't know, like maybe what was borrowed, what has been done before what's new and innovative. I can't speak with any authority on those technical aspects of the genre, but does that mean that I can't have an opinion on something like this? No. No, of course not. Because to me art is not about technical execution. Appreciation of art does not depend on your knowledge of the genre or of the medium. It's been said before that it doesn't you don't have to be a great chef, you don't have to know how the food was made, you don't have to be a master chef, to taste a meal and say I like it or I don't like it. It's all about taste it's all about, you know, how does it make you feel. So with all that said, I'm here today to tell you that SpongeBob The Musical is a joyous fucking romp that made me feel alive again after years of numbness.It was like waking up out of a fucking stupor. I don't know what the costume design and other musicals were like, but I can say that to me the color design, the bright cerulean, the bright teal of Squidward during his fucking legendary tap dance number against those pink anemone dancers, blew me away and and was visually stunning. That the minimalist costuming that doesn't really try to make the characters look like the SpongeBob characters, but just suggests them, you know with like SpongeBob in his suspenders, and Patrick and his pink Hawaiian shirt, and Squidward with his teal wig, just does a perfect job of letting you know that these are the characters that you know and love, but giving them a fresh spin, and making it easy to buy into these versions, these human, dancing, singing, you know, acrobat versions of the characters as like a new fresh take on the whole fucking thing.I can say that every time a character would whip their head to one side and you'd hear the sound effect from the show the "woosh" sound of them turning their heads along with a light display in the background of like lines whizzing across to make it look like action lines, like the characters like, whooshing around, really felt like the show, but also just felt like inventive fucking use of the space, and use of the stage, to convey the action of the moment. That when Squidward with his incredibly cool fucking double legs, on his on his little four leg contraption there, walking around, tap-dancing on four fucking legs, making his little tentacle "squish, squish, squish" sounds with every step, just fucking, It made me smile every single time I saw it and heard it.That every time a colored spotlight shown on the stage to change one thing into another, like changing the movable couch. Changing the shape changing couch into a bubble by shining a blue light on it. That every time that happened I was fucking, like, stunned and just wanted to say yes. Yes they fucking did it. This feels incredible. That when a scene change would happen, and everything would go dark and then suddenly you'd been in SpongeBob’s fucking house a second ago and then it's dark, and then a second later the stage opens up and you see like the fucking acid green sky like projected in the background and suddenly we're out in the world, or it's just a pile ofboxes illuminated red, and it feels like we're we're climbing a fucking mountain, and these boxes are like falling around and being climbed up and spun around on, and suddenly we're on a fucking mountain, and we're singing, and we're dancing, and we're doing fucking acrobat moves as we clamber up a fucking mountain side that moments ago was, I don't know, the fucking public pool in Bikini Bottom.It just felt... It's indescribable that the script managed to work in callbacks to the show in natural ways. Like, when someone drops something offstage and a character says "My Leg!" but the script never bent over backwards to shoehorn them in. That it had the fucking restraint to wait until the very end to sing the SpongeBob theme song. That the best day ever song only comes right at the very end at an emotional moment, when it has the most impact. The callbacks and the references and like, the recycling from the show was used somewhat, but it was used perfectly, and with great restraint, and at a moment when it would have maximum effect. It was perfect.That it feels true to the show without just feeling like an episode of the show put to stage. It feels like its own thing. The script was written specifically for this format. It feels like a movie in scope, it's like a high-stakes kind of scenario for SpongeBob, but it just plays out all across Bikini Bottom, in all these different locations, and the set design just works every single time and makes you feel like you're going all over the place and seeing, experiencing, the full range of what the show has to offer, but in fucking new and vibrant and dynamic and novel way that's just a fucking joy every single time.I guess all I'm trying to say is that even though I don't know dick about musical theatre, all I know is that The SpongeBob Musical made me laugh, and made me feel, and made me feel feel joy and awe and surprise and delight and nostalgia and just fucking wonderment. It was just a beautiful performance. It's a gesamtkunstwerk. It's coming to Nickelodeon this December. I hope it fucking sweeps the ratings. It's incredible right? Can you fucking believe it? I can't fucking believe that I'm sitting here telling you that SpongeBob The Musical is not only a great piece of SpongeBob media, but just a great musical in its own right and in and of itself, but it is.It's the full package. It's worth experiencing. You need to experience it. Go fucking find it by whatever means necessary.If you don't watch SpongeBob the musical you are missing the fuck out. I could sit here and tell you about every little thing that happens in the story and every little moment and character and decision made in the portrayal of the story that I think is fucking great and genius and just the coolest thing ever, but I won’t. Just fucking go find it, go watch it, come back here, tell me what you thought, and fucking agree with me that it is the greatest show ever put to music, or I'll kill you. I will fucking kill you. I will obliterate you. I will reign holy hellfire down on you and erase you from existence. Your avatar will fucking dissolve on the battlefield if you try and face me on this. This is my hill to fucking die on. I will defend SpongeBob the musical to the death. If anyone tells me that "that's gay", if anyone says that it's dumb or cheesy or whatever I will say get the right the fuck out. Get right the fuck out of this existence! I'm fucking banishing you to a lower dimension. To a lower dimension with lower dimensional spirits to be devoured by them with your low Christ conscienceness. I will end you. Okay, I've gone off the rails a little bit. I didn't mean to lose my temper right there. I didn't mean to get nasty. We're talking about SpongeBob and SpongeBob is a nice guy. SpongeBob wouldn't say things like that. What would SpongeBob do, Ben? Okay, yes. I encourage you. I cheerfully encourage you to go and watch SpongeBob the musical, and the come back and let me know what you thought. Let me know if you're glad. Let me know if you're glad that you did. I think you will be. Okay, bye fuckers.

Hello! I really love your writing, you're amazing at it. If it's no bother (you don't have to do this) could you maybe write something along the lines of a Thranduil x reader, where he somehow manages to come to our world, and the reader finds him. The reader works as maybe a costume designer or something for the hobbit. But sorry if this is weird and confusing!
I love this request! I hope you enjoy it lovey!
“Goodnight!” You called over your shoulder to your fellow co-workers who were leaving the set for the evening. “Staying late, (Y/N)?” Martin asked in polite curiosity as he put on his jacket, he too getting ready to head out for the evening.
“Yeah, Peter wanted another look for Thranduil so I’m going to be costume-making tonight,” You laughed happily, you were a team player but working alone on projects always worked more smoothly for you. “Ahh, good luck then,” Martin nodded to you, bidding you goodnight as he too left the building.
Going to the fabric room, you pulled several silk fabrics as well as silver patterned ones. This was going to be for the scene where the dwarves arrive in Mirkwood, laying out the fabric you began cutting the design when you heard a bang in the other room. “Maybe someone didn’t leave just yet?” You convinced yourself, but the curiosity in your bones screamed for you to check it out.
“Maybe this will be a cliche horror movie,” You scoffed, deciding to investigate despite your common sense saying it was safer in your costume design room.
“Anyone there?” You called out, flicking on the lights as you walked. “Who’s there?” Thranduil questioned, panic taking over him. One moment he was in a meeting with his war general and captain of the guard then the next he’s falling into a box of clothing. “Lee?” You questioned, a smile on your face, “What’re you doing here so late, filming doesn’t start again until tomorrow?”
Thranduil quirked a brow, whoever this woman was, she knew him. “My name isn’t Lee, it’s Thranduil.”
“Well technically yes, in the film you are Thranduil, why are you still in your costume?” You asked, the smile still on your face as you went along with his theatrics. “This isn’t a costume, human, this is traditional Elven garb,” Thranduil growled, beginning to get impatient. Raising a brow at him, you weighed your options. “Just a second…” You mumbled, pulling out your phone and quickly began texting.
(Y/N): Hey, do you remember what length Peter wanted your tunic to be?
You looked up to Lee- Thranduil, to see him watching you with confusion as the light box shined in your face. Keeping your eyes on him, you waited.
Ping
You felt yourself jump as your eyes snapped back down to the screen. Opening the message your eyes widened.
Lee: I believe he wanted it to be a little below the hips and flaring out in the back?
“Holy shi–” You stopped yourself as you put your phone back in your pocket. “So you’re actually… Thranduil…” You choked out, not wanting to believe your own eyes. “That’s what I’ve been saying.” Thranduil narrowed his eyes. “Now, can you help me out of this box? I think I’m stuck.”
.
.
.
“I’m home!” You called out as you entered your apartment, your voice tired and stressed as you walked to the counter to drop your bag and keys. “Thranduil?” You called when he didn’t come to greet you like usual.
You and Thranduil became friends after that night. You brought him to your apartment, gave him new modern clothes, and sought to teach him about his new surroundings.
Slight panic filled your chest as you searched the apartment, peeking your head into room after room. Still nothing.
Sitting down on the armchair you looked out the window, hurt filling your chest as you realized he may have been returned to his world. “You could’ve let me say goodbye…” You grumbled, staring at the cloudy sky.
Behind you, the door creaked open as Thranduil returned from his outing, “When did you get home?” Thranduil questioned, making you jolt out of your skin. “I thought you were taken back!” You announced, your hand over your chest as you tried to calm your heart. Thranduil’s eyes softened, “And not tell my melda? (My beloved)” Raising a brow at the foreign words, Thranduil waved you off.
“You’ve been teaching me a lot about this world, and I know that taking care of two people can be difficult on a single income… I went out to see if I could get a job of some sort to help you, after all, you are stuck with me,” Thranduil shrugged off the jacket that you bought him, removing the fluffy ivory scarf and hanging it on the rack like how you’ve shown him before. His shoes slowly taking their place next to yours by the door as well.
“Thranduil–” You began, beginning to tell him it was alright before he shushed you, “I may have lost my kingdom, but I have not lost my pride.”
Looking back to the window you let out a laugh as you heard the shuffling of feet on the wooden floor, Thranduil disappearing into the kitchen. Straining your ears, you felt a smile form on your face as you heard the kettle slowly hit the burners on the stove and the familiar sound of the burner turning on.
“You’re transitioning well,” You spoke loud enough for him to hear as you heard a pause in his movements.
“That’s because I have a caring human who taught me everything I know,” Thranduil responded after a moment.
Smiling you looked up to the sky as the rain began to pour against the glass.
“Who would’ve thought that the person who I was designing a costume after would be falling into my care…” You hummed.
I may do a part two but we shall see.

just a little support // bakugou katsuki x fem!reader
I feel like this one is really bad since my first draft got completely deleted since Tumblr was being stupid. I also made Bakugou a second year in this. Hope you enjoy!
"I could tweak some things here and there. That could work, yeah. Nothing too major, it'd ruin the whole design," you muttered to yourself, gusts of wind carrying several books around you within enough distance for you to read them all. "It has to be efficient and easy to use."
You yelped as you felt yourself bump into someone, losing concentration. The books that were being carried by the gusts of wind fell by your feet.
"Oi, watch where you're going!" you heard someone yell and looked up, seeing an ash blonde boy looking like he was about to murder you.
You rolled your eyes and stuck your nose up in the air, annoyed by his attitude.
"I was going to apologize, but you don't deserve it," you said and he clenched his fists.
"Who do you think you are, dammit?!" he growled and you looked over at him, recognizing his temper from somewhere.
"Someone who has obviously grown up with more manners than you," you replied and he clenched his fists.
"Why you little-" he started, but was cut off by a perky redhead.
"Ah, sorry about him! You're (L/N) (Y/N), right? We just came to have some touch ups to our hero costumes done," he said and you hummed, focusing on the air around you to pick the books up off of the floor. "Wow, your quirk seems so cool!"
"My quirk? Oh, it's nothing. If it was anything special, I'd probably be in the hero course, but it is what it is. I just want to help people. Follow me," you said and started to walk on the direction of the support department.
~
It had been a few weeks since Kirishima and Bakugou had stopped by to give you their hero costumes to work on. Since then, they had paid frequent visits and Bakugou sometimes came on his own.
You let out a content sigh as you finished up your work for the day, hearing footsteps by the door.
"Baku- oh," you started and then stopped yourself when you realized it wasn't him, instead being another student from the support department. "What do you want, Daichi?"
"What? Expecting someone?" he asked and you rolled your eyes, starting to clean up your work station.
"If I was, what's it to you?" you asked and he leaned against the doorframe.
"Just curious. You thought I was that angry kid, didn't you?"
"You mean Bakugou?"
"Bakugou, right. That's his name. He's been coming and going a lot recently."
"Yeah, so?"
"He's got you wrapped around your little finger. You've been doing enough for him as it is. He's so annoying, too. He's always complaining, saying he only trusts you with changes to his costume and shit like that."
"What exactly are you getting at here?"
"He obviously wants something from you. Come on, (L/N), don't be so naive." You then let out a laugh and he looked at you in confusion.
"I can finally understand why you didn't make it into the hero course!"
"I don't think I understand..."
"Not only is your quirk completely useless, you're a giant prick as well! That's definitely not hero material. Bakugou is just misunderstood."
"Misunderstood, my ass! Are you actually standing up for him?"
"Yes. Do you have a problem? As far as I'm concerned, this is my work area and I won't hesitate to kick you out."
"Trying to scare me with empty threats?"
You sighed and shook your head, letting the gusts of wind swirl around you. You then focus it in Daichi's direction, letting the strong winds carry him out of the room.
"What a nuisance...," you muttered and rolled your eyes.
"Have to admit, that was quite a damn good show you put on," you heard and you didn't even have to look up to know who was standing there.
"How long have you been standing there?" you asked, crossing your arms over your chest.
"Long enough," he smirked. "That was pretty badass. You sure know how to use your quirk."
"Did you need something?"
"Not exactly. Those extras at the dorms were annoying me."
"So, you decided to visit an underclassman? How sweet!"
"Shut up." You smiled in return, grabbing your bag. "You didn't have to say that."
"Say what?"
"That shit about me. I'm perfectly understood."
"Mhm... Sure, Bakugou," you said and walked over to him, placing a kiss on his cheek gently.
"I have to go. Bye!"
If you had stayed long enough, you would've seen the blush on his cheeks.
~
"Bakugou, wait up!" Kirishima called out and the ash blonde stopped, looking back at the redhead.
"What do you want?" Bakugou asked, letting Kirishima drape his arm across his shoulders.
"Are you going to see (L/N) again? You've been going there a lot recently. Dude, if you have feelings for her, just tell her!"
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about."
"Ah, come on! I'll go with you!" Kirishima smiled widely and Bakugou rolled his eyes, making his way towards the support department.
"Wow, that's amazing! I wish I could be as cool as you!" he heard you say the closer he got to the support department.
"What are you talking about? You already are cooler than me?" someone else replied. A deeper voice.
"No way! You're in the hero course now. You deserve to be there. You have an amazing quirk," he heard you say and Bakugou hesitated at the door. "Mine just has to do with controlling stupid air."
"It's not stupid, it's-" the other person who was speaking was cut off when Bakugou opened the door.
"Oh, hey. What's up?" you asked. Standing in front of you was Shinsou Hitoshi.
"Sorry for interrupting!" Kirishima said and you smiled, shaking your head. Bakugou noticed your eyes were slightly red.
"No worries. We weren't talking about much anyway," you assured him.
"I didn't even know that you two knew each other," Kirishima said and you and Shinsou exchanged glances before looking back at him.
"No one ever really asks," you replied with a shrug.
"Oi, did that bastard make you cry?" Bakugou asked abruptly and you looked over at him.
"What? Oh, no! He didn't... I um...," you trailed off and Shinsou sighed, ruffling your hair. He then leaned in close to whisper in your ear. Bakugou felt his rage build up.
"If you need anything, just call for me. I'll be right outside if he gives you trouble," Shinsou said and you nodded, watching him walk out of the room.
"So, how exactly do you two know each other?" Kirishima asked and you ran your fingers through your hair.
"Well, that's kind of a long story, but I'm his adopted sister. Anyway, did you guys need anything?"
"Sister?" Bakugou repeated, relaxing a bit. You furrowed your eyebrows and then started to laugh.
"What? Did you think we were dating or something?"
"Why does it matter to me?"
"You tell me. You seemed on edge just until Hitoshi left. Were you jealous?"
"Shut up!"
"So you were jealous! How cute!"
"I said shut up!"
~
"If you make her cry, I won't forgive you," Shinsou said, making Bakugou roll his eyes. He knew you were a bit sensitive despite how hard you tried to hold everything in.
"I won't," he muttered. This was the first time Bakugou had gotten Shinsou's blessing to take you out on a date, which was a very awkward experience. He liked it better when he'd sneak you out to places without his knowledge, but you seemed to hate keeping secrets from him.
"Good. She's been looking forward to this, so don't screw it up." Bakugou felt like laughing. He would never dream of screwing things up.
"Bakugou!" you called out and latched onto his arm with a smile. You looked up at Shinsou and waved. "Don't give him a hard time, Hitoshi. We'll be fine. I'll be back at the dorms before sundown."
"You better be," Shinsou replied and you stuck your tongue out at him before you grabbed Bakugou's hand, leading him away.
~
"Can you believe it's been over a year since we started dating?" you asked softly. You were laying beside Bakugou with your head on his chest, running your fingers through your hair.
"It hasn't even felt like that long," Bakugou admitted, closing his eyes.
"Yeah... You're going to be graduating soon. You're gonna be a hero and I'm going to be here for another year," you frowned and Bakugou opened one of his eyes to look at you.
"Oi, you'll be fine without me. You're more than capable of protecting yourself," he assured, opening his other eye.
"No, it's not that. It's just...," you paused and let out a sigh. "What if you find someone else? A year is a long time... You could probably become the top pro hero in that time."
"I don't want to hear you talking about shit like that. Look at me, (Y/N)." You obeyed, staring up into his crimson eyes. It was only the times that you two were alone that you truly got to see the soft side of him. "I'm not going to find someone else. You're the only one that I want."
"How can you be so sure? You never know, Katsuki."
"I know because no one else can be like you. You're mine and I don't plan on losing you, got it?" You laughed softly.
"Okay, okay. Fine. I'll miss you. We wouldn't be able to go on many dates and cuddle like this once you graduate."
"I'll make it up to you then, princess. Don't worry about that. To be honest, I don't really care about how long it takes for me to be at the top anymore. As long as you're there and I know I have a little support coming from you, it's fine."
"I think you and I both know that's a lie," you teased and he smirked.
"Maybe, but I want you to be my number one fan," he said and pressed a kiss to your forehead.
"You don't even have to ask, I already am."

Hi, when you say that you understand completely the reasons why people don't like the better binder project you're being very presumptuous. It's not the same as well-meaning but ignorant abled people attempting to solve highly complex and expensive problems of access for disabled people. And furthermore, the way you talk about this is really condescending and frankly just...you make assumptions that you understand the intimacies of how people think and feel that are just not true or analogous.
Like I mean this in the nicest possible way, but cisgender people’s relation to trans people is just not the same, and it would be a lot less patronizing and transphobic of you to *not* characterize every possible negative and/or critical reaction to this blog as being a reflexive anger and automatic rejection instead of being a justified and/or reasonable wariness. Like I absolutely hope this project succeeds, but there’s no reason to think that you’re qualified to make it succeed.
I’m going to use this also as a way to respond to your post, which didn’t show up on my Acitivity, so I’m glad someone pointed me to it.
1. My ability to listen to criticism
For the last couple weeks, I’ve been monitoring the activity of my posts, especially looking for people saying things like, “This will never work”, “this is a bad idea”, “won’t work for me” and so forth. Then a lot of the time I’ve messaged them to say, “Hi, I want to hear about your thoughts and experiences, do you have time to talk?”. I’m in a little bit of a backlog with this because some really smart and informed people have been commenting on it but I’ve been busy. For example, if I got the chance to listen to @the-scottish-costume-guy at greater length and in greater detail in the next couple days, I’d be really happy.
So while some criticisms have been reflexive rage or despair, others have been completely on point and I’ve already integrated them into my design (for example, recommendations to slope the boning diagonally down and to the outside). And others have been logical on the surface, but don’t apply to the specific thing I am trying to do (eg. “corsets are expensive”)
2. My credentials
I’ve been sewing seriously for the last 20 years. In some of that time, I’ve been paid for my work. For much of it, I’ve both been reading academic sources on the topic, and sewing in the workshops of vastly more experienced sewists. Over and above all my other sewing experience, I’ve made and worn numerous corsets. There is no set certification for a “professional tailor” but yes, if I wanted to do that as a job, I do have the resume and portfolio for it.
Tailoring isn’t actually the field you want here, though. Since beginning this project, I’ve located and contacted several researchers in the fields of human ecology, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering, who have relevant expertise. None have yet gotten back to me, probably partly because it’s summer. If someone more qualified than me wants to work on this project, I am 100% willing to collaborate with them, or hand the project off to them.
3. My profiting from this project
I’ve already made some very particular and pointed decisions about this. If I wanted to significantly profit from this project, I would:
Keep my R&D process secret
Patent and license the design
Sell patterns of the design I made for individuals wanting to make their own, individual, copy
Sell binders I myself made, or possibly outsource their production and then sell the result
Send cease&desist letters threatening to sue anyone selling copies of my binder, or any other binder on similar design principles, or any pattern for such a binder
Demand that anyone wanting to profit from the use of my design principles pay me a licensing fee.
Meanwhile, my plan right now includes:
Publicizing my concepts and progress in a way freely accessible to anyone with an Internet connection
Maintaining a record of my progress to keep anyone else from claiming to be its inventor and licensing it in exploitative ways
Encouraging feedback from as many people as possible and seeking out trans, nb, and genderqueer perspectives
Coming soon: Creating a survey about wearer experiences and health outcomes, asking anyone involved in this project to report back so the data can be disseminated and analyzed. If this project and my design are a failure, I will say so.
Making design concepts, and in the future, patterns and tutorials, freely available to anyone with an internet connection, and agreeing to their republication to reach other audiences
Only receiving donations from people who understand that this is an experimental venture, posed as the question, “What if I tried this thing,” and only profiting from items that I have ensured people could get for themselves some other way. (eg “Here’s a free tutorial on making this binder using items from the dollar store. However, if you want to buy a $20 kit of high-quality items pre-cut for your convenience, here’s my Etsy”)
Providing prototypes to their intended wearers for free in return for feedback about the wearers’ experiences, instead of selling half-baked designs for a profit
Openly encouraging other sewists to suggest design improvements, make their own versions, or make binders for other people without paying me
In the future, I’m very open to stepping back in my own role in this project, and handing it off to trans people who have taken the idea and run with it.
From a legal perspective, I have probably already ruined my chances of making big bucks from this project, and I did that on purpose. From the beginning, I realized that it is very possible for me to be exploitative in how I handle this project.
I honestly asked for money because I can’t pay for medications, groceries and utilities right now. I got about $300, which was enough to cover most of my monthly medical expenses. Most of the clients I see as a psychotherapist are disabled, living on extremely limited incomes, and cannot pay me much more than the cost I pay to rent the room we meet in. I’m trying to survive and find a better job. If I had a full-time job and made a decent income, I would be funding this project out of my own pocket. I know how to market and monetize a project like this, and have, from the first, deliberately chosen not to, in large part because I’m cis and this isn’t my issue.
4. Binders over top surgery
This project has largely been inspired by a trans person with whom I have worked, whose parents were involved in a custody dispute beginning when they were 14. At 14 they realized they were trans, but they required the consent of both parents for medical procedures until the age of 18. One parent was extremely transphobic and would not consent to top surgery, although they didn’t see their child on a regular basis and didn’t know how they dressed and presented. During those 4 years, they used a binder as a way of dealing with the dysphoria that made them suicidal. Despite its negative physical health effects (pain, trouble breathing, rashes, etc) the binder was an essential aid to their mental health.
Yes, binding is a “stopgap” method compared to top surgery. However, one of my major areas of work is as a mental health therapist with LGBTQ people, especially teenagers. Not everyone can get top surgery, and not always as quickly as it is needed. Sometimes there is a gap you need to stop.
5. Why do we need better binders at all?
I didn’t go into this because I, frankly, had considered the need for improvements in binder technology so well-documented as to be completely obvious. Just today someone tagged this blog talking about how much they want it to work because “binding gives me rashes, makes my already shitty lungs hurt, makes my back hurt, and doesn’t actually work for me“ Would you like me to curate the research and accounts of people who have problems with the current models of binder available? Is that proof you in fact need?
7. Corsets are unsuitable/super gendered
Yep! That’s why I’m not making corsets. I’m trying to use the engineering elements from corsetry that would make the binder better, and make everything else as un-corset-like as possible.
How possible this is is an open question right now. For example, corsets need to be fitted so precisely because they go from the bust to the hips, and therefore need the correct bust, waist, and hip measurement, and the correct height, and the correct ratio of all things to each other, and to have the correct vertical profile. My current hypothesis is that by making a binder that covers only the bust, I can eliminate many of these complexities. However, many informed observers of the project have told me that they think I’m wrong, and that the binder will need to extend to the waist to more evenly distribute the load of compression, and a garment that only goes around the chest will cause too much back pain over the long term. This is a question I think can honestly only be answered when I ship my prototypes to my genderqueer friend in Georgia, who shares my measurements and is eager to try each model out for hours/days/weeks and report back.
At present, I am experimenting with adaptations to sports bras, which I also know can be too gendered and induce dysphoria. I’m using them because my current project is aimed at people who have very little experience sewing, and therefore would benefit from only having to add a few elements to an already-constructed garment. After this, I want to see if I can transition those adaptations to something less gendered, like a tank top. After that, I can begin work on drafting a binder entirely from scratch, which, one hopes, I can make as ungendered as possible.
My askbox is open!

When your crush is angry all the time
Ch.5
"I don't think fire's all that bad, you know"
3rd person pov
°•○●○•°•○●○•°
As the sun hung high in the sky the h/t haired girl stumbled around the train station in search of a restroom. Y/n had never experienced the mundane tasks a commoner would usually persue on a daily. Things like public transit, or any transit for that matter, were an enigma to her.
So while elder men stared a little too long and young children pointed at her in recognition, she spun in circles like a lost puppy.
"Its just a fucking bathroom, should there be someone here to direct people or something! Ugh and whats with the school girl fetish, these old guy are creeps..." she mumbled to herself continuing to get more and more lost on the platform.
Meanwhile, the rest of 1-A were making their way to internships as well, Midoriya scrolled into some old guys house, Kirishima bumped into his metal replica, and Bakugou held his grump posture and nonchilauntly entered the top 3 heros agency. He was expecting to at least learn something from this guy, or gain real life experience with villains. He never anticipated being scrutinized for his personality. No shit I'm scary, Im trying to kill shitty villains not make teenage girls put a picture of me on their wall.
For the first day of this new challenged everbody seemed to be having a ridiculously mundane time. Not y/n, though. No our main character was going through it, once she made it to the restroom, she got confused by how easily the toilet paper ripped in her hand and spent 20 minutes trying to get at least one whole time out of the stubborn roll. Then, when she opened up her bag to view the new hero-suot her mother helped design...she found strings¿
She ended up having to look at an example picture and read a guide on how to put what where. It took an additional hour considering the tightness of everpiece of fabric and when she stepped out of the stall to look in the mirror, she deadpanned. How could her mother hate her this much? It was already a burden being so sexy, but this? This was crazy.
She wasnt sure weather she should take a million photos, or never leave the bathroom and cry all day. However when her phone rang, a call from Mr.Woods agency, she realized how late she already must be.
In her rush, y/n also forgot about the creeps men and was recieving many stares, that went unnoticed. Until somebody had the audacity to touch her. It was just a ghost of his finger tips on the underneath of her ass that was no doubt on full display. That would not go accepted, as a girl who had turned her past trauma into nothing but a small personality traits, she wasnt scared. Still, as a woman who absolutely idolizes herself, or so she says, no one in this train station deserved the touch of her perfect, shiny, s/c skin.
The last error that secured her terrible first day was how y/n spun around and grabbed the mans fingertips. When she took a glance at him, he was smiling as if he had acomplished something. Boy was he wrong, only coming to realized so when the y/h girl suddenly had sprouted a vine from his finger.
He watched in fear as it began to grow and wrap around him, all the while the young girl he'd never met before let out a sickening aura that couldve suffocate him then and there. The vine continued to curl up around his middle and ring finger, slowly meeting the flash of his palm.
Once the growing stopped, y/n had almost decided to let him go. A part of her new that her plan wasn't well thought through, and he could be an innocent guy that accidentally touched her.
However, aggression outwayed logic and she looked him deep in the eye.
"You like using these fingers to touch things your not supposed to?"
"N-n-"
"Shhh, dont worry, im just gonna make sure you dont go touching things that arnt yours, okay?" She made an aggresive fist with the hand not touching him and the vine squeezed in. Anyone a foot away would be able to tell, but the both of them could hear how his two fingers snapped and bent under the pressure.
With a satisfied grin at the whispering man, y/n decided he had learned his lesson. Wow look at that, and I didnt even need some manly hero to come save me. Atta girl y/n.
Little did she know that not only did her pro-hero boss come to look for her, but je also saw the whole disaster. He was not pleased to say the least.
Y/n pov
°•○●○•°•○●○•°
As the tree like man sat down in his office chair across from me, all I could do was look to my feet. I didnt feel particularily had about my actions, however, I did feel bad about being late.
While it is fun to be spontanious and act like theres nothing to lose, I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to control the earth aspect of my quirk. Ill never admit it if someone asks, but sometimes the only way I can sleep at night is knowing how strong my quirk is. Knowing that they cant hurt me if I stay strong.
Still, it just seems that as I grow older, the people trying to get to be get bolder and more powerful. Some might even say...they get smarter, too. Thats a scary thought; that if I want to stay alive at all I need to be constantly improving. I am not sure if I want to stay alive or not, but Ill be damned if dying or living isnt my choice.
Feeling the need to break the silence, I began my rant on all the reasons I had come up with that justify my actions. I was planning it on the way out here.
"Look, im sorry mr.woods. I know im not very heroic and shit, but when perverts to pervert things somebody has to do something, and its not like anybody else there would have scared a glance if I didnt save myself-"
"Your wrong."
"Huh- I wasnt done. Anyways i-"
"L/n you are wrong."
"Dude im trying to-"
"There was heroes on patrol, how else did you think i found you? There were real heroes ready to protect you, if you had simply shouted people would have been alarmed of such. I dont understand kids and their need to do everything alone." He rolled his eyes behind his mask and continued to stare at me.
"Excuse me but I dont think your in a place to comment on how I react to myself being touched. He was gonna get my skin dirty and for what, two seconds of his school girl fantasy. Ew."
"Your skin....dirty?"
"Yes, he is nowhere near my standards on someone who should be allowed to touch me...not even a brush of the fingers..ugh!"
"Alright well, I cant get you in trouble because then I get in trouble...so, tell me about your quirk while we go on patrol."
His chair sqeaked against the floor as he stood up and it slid back. Then he motioned for me to follow by painting out the door.
Relieved that I didn't have to talk about all the fake reasons people aren't allowed to touch me, and that I could finally get outside so my quirk would stop suffocating me, I was quick to exit the building.
I'm not sure if its the fact that ive only been using a forth of her, but my quirks side effects have been so shitty recently. To the point that our school nurse estimsted my new rate for being inside for an extended period of time was about three hours.
I havent actually combusted in years, but I've been close and god does it hurt. My chest starts to squeeze and I can feel all the energy drain from my body, then pieces of me start to get hold and cold at the same time.
"So what really is your quirk?"
I looked up at the hero next to me as we continued on down the street of the inner City.
"How much did Aizawa tell you?"
"I-he said...she has all the right elements? And told me I'd figure it out.." He scratched the back of his head.
I smirked at that. Who knew aizawa actually listened to the words I said. I was pretty sure after the whole sulking chrollos dick thing, he would have permanently tuned me out.
"Heh, that raggedy ann bastard" I smile smugly.
"So, what does it mean?"
"Ahh, okay so, did you go to U.A?"
"Um yes kid, why?"
Then im certain je knows of my family, explaining my quirk will be easier. God, this really is my favorite part.
I reached my left hand out, knowing he was right handedly and would respond well to it and then spoke.
"Hi, nice to meet you, im y/n l/n of the elementus royal quirk family."
Once he shook my hand I did a polite curtsey, as I learned in ballet to do that instead of bowing. Its much more fun to do this at family event, where I get to wear big dresses and pretend im important...but this'll have to do.
"The-i-oh shit..." He mumbled the last part in defeat, likely just figuring out what he'd gotten himself in to.
"So, im guessing you've got ...."
"Total control, yup" I confirmed.
"And you wanna focus on earth elements, like what flowers?"
I smirk up at him allowing my aura to put an intimidating facade.
"Actually I was thing more like venus fly traps" as I said traps I let my hands clap together mimicking the plant and bit at the air with my teeth.
He stopped walking and just glanced from side to side, waiting for me to start making sense again.
Until we heard some crying in the distance.
The two of our heads shot over and were met with a strange sight. There were three young boys, looked about 8¿ and a man, hero maybe? Crouched in front of them not looking all that nice. He had spike blonde hair, red eyes, gauntlets on his wris-
"Oh my god its bakugou, look sir! Thats the hot guy I switched schools for!"
"Wha-"
"BAKUGOUUUU!! HEYYY!"
his head slowly shifted from the kids to me and it seemed to only make him more angry. Then, once again I couldn't help but bask in the pure aggression...in his eyes.
They were red, fitting for the anger thry held, but it was beautiful. It was passionate, the way he could yell for hours about god knows what because he cares. He may care about petty things, or silly things, but he always cares so much. So passionately. That I can see it in his eyes.
"Oh my, whAt is this costume deary?"best jeanist spoke from ahead of us as we approach.
"Hi sir, sorry about the skin showing, my quirk is heavily enhanced the more my pours are exposed to the natural elements, especially oxygen. If I was more covered parts of my body would begin to go completely numb. Also doesnt my body look amazing! Im a lot more in shape since you saved me last"
I blamed happily at jeanist. Though we arent neceserilly close, he is definitely a great hero and has always been someone who easily sees through my façaude. Plus his fashion sense is wonderful and I often send him pictures of my outfits. Although he doesnt respond I know he sees them and if they were bad he would be mean about it instead of ignoring it.
"Well. It definitely gives your body..access to that. And the sword?"
Ahh...the sword that I liked to carry. It was now stored in its place on my back.
"Call it a good luck charm, plus, we cant rely only on our quirks, then we are just weak people with strong powers. Rather than strong people."
I was always one to put on a show for him, as I do for lost of pro heroes. Its a lot more fun to say things like your all serious and fancy and smart sometimes. Its my little inside joke with myself, like to laugh at how easily people are awed by it.
Like how even though children were still crying bakgou was staring at me face void of emotion, completely struck at my words.
Definitely not..staring at my body that was exposed. Not eyeing the tight strap that wraps my left leg, that he doesnt know is a funcional lasso.
Noticing him, im quick to avert my attention.
"Hey bakugou~"
"Tch you really went from shitty princess to slutty princess huh?"
"You really went from telling deku you'd be number one hero, to making kids cry on the street, huh?" I challenged
I heard the crying boys laugh a little, just the age reminded me of my brother, Im sure they have nothing in common, but I havent seen any of my brothers in quite some time so I suppose a small part of me was just projecting.
I hated that they were crying, though. Ussually I dont like kids, they are stinky and gross and the main reason people have been ruining my life up til now. However, noticing these three reacting to bakugou in a way I wish emotionally available enough for, it made me feel obligated to help them. Wierd, huh.
"Hey, did that guy use his fire all scary?"
"Yeah, he was gonna kill us"
"Fires scary."
I giggled a bit, I knew fire like the back of my hand. It was the first thing I mastered as a child and the way I see bakugou use it doesnt to the element justice.
"Hm, well, I dont think so...can I show you something?"
The kid in the middle, apparently the braver of them, lifted his gaze from the concrete to meet my eyes. Just as I crouched down to my knees in front of them he nodded up at me.
I smiled at this, proud that I earned his trust for...some odd reason.
My hands formed a cup shape in front of him and I focused my ears so I could hear the blood rushing through my own brain, like waves. This was how I learned to use elements singularly: by using my internally noise to block out everything else.
I first allowed a small line of fire to dance around, now bigger than a candle wick. Then through another, and another as the boy watched carefully. Not yet impressed his face was still caustious. However I continued focusing my energy, feeling my body, the air around me, the heat of the sun, even remember the passion from bakugous crimson eyes.
I as I did so the many small flames twirled and twisted within eachother forming into a beautiful blue and orange fluctuating flower.
The boy looked into my hands mouth now agape, tears dried, fear gone. Then, again, for some reasons unbeknownst to me... I felt a sense of pride.
He tapped his friends so they would look up and I continued making my fire into different things, birds, planes, people. The kids were entranced.
I looked back to see the two pros staring at me with a certain level of pride mixer with shock. While bakugou seemed at a loss for words. God knows why this time?
"I don't think fire is all that bad you know..."
"Pft, yeah, I know kid," with that I threw my little flames above their heads and let the sparks fall down of them like shiny glitter. Then, overwhelmed with this horrible feeling in my chest. I retreatdd to my boss for the weak. Was that..happiness? Ew.
