Do you have a list of the ROs and like a description of them :( can't find it
I have one floating about somewhere, but here's an up-to-date one! :)
Vethna Mevnrael (they/them) Appearance: 5’9, skin the color of bronze with long wavy hair that’s only a few shades darker than their skin. Their eyes are a greyed-out blue-green and glow in the darkness due to magic. They wear a deep v-neck black gown with golden embroidery, an outrageous amount of rings and jewelry, and their signature wine-red lipstick. Background: Vethna hails from Vygrand-- otherwise known as the sworn rival land of your home country. Where you have been raised to resent most, if not all magic, they have been raised to thrive on it. You don't know much about them-- just that they're on the run from someone, something, powerful, and you're the only one who can protect them. That, and they have a whole lot of gold... almost as much as they have secrets.
Nikke Ivante (he/him) Appearance: 6’0, pale green skin and covered in iridescent scales. Purple bags sit under his pale green eyes, which, like all mythosi, glow in the darkness. Wears smudged black kohl across his eyes. His hair is long, half shaved, and braided, mostly black with streaks of white. His tongue is forked and his sharp fangs often protrude from out past his lips. His arms are covered in tattoos of snakes winding downwards, and on his neck sit geometric tattoos. Background: Nikke has been sent to kill you or kidnap you-- you're not entirely sure which it is, and you don't intend to find out. He's crude and sarcastic and overall a brute. He doesn't seem to take his own life seriously, nonetheless yours, and you have no doubt he's going to capture you or die trying. Hell-- maybe he'll just kill you both while he's at it... you know, for fun.
Jost Ivante (she/her) (Not romanceable in demo yet) Appearance: 6’0 with pale green skin and iridescent scales. Her features are sharp and she has multiple piercings, the most notable being her bridge piercing and snake-bites. She has tattoos down her arms and on her neck in geometric patterns. Her hair is waist-length and slicked back and filled with braids and tokens, and just like her brother, is streaked with white. While she wears dark paint over her eyes, it’s done in a manner much neater than Nikke’s. Background: Jost is Nikke's identical twin sister-- and, if possible, she's twice as mean and just as rude. She's more ruthless than her brother, but she doesn't quite have the fighting power to back up her venom-laced threats and taunts. Nonetheless, she fights dirty, and if you want to beat her, you're going to have to be smart.
Amilia Von Clamile (she/her) Appearance: 5’3 with snow white skin and blood red hair that’s poorly cut and uneven, coming to her chin on one shoulder and sitting well past her collarbone on the other. Her eyes are green and her face is covered in freckles. A deep scar juts into her lip on the right side of her face and runs down her jaw and neck. Background: Amilia's a fae-- the very kind of mythosi you've been raised to fear and have spent most of your life killing. She's all smiles and nerves, but you see something else in her eyes, sometimes. Something cold. Something calculative. Everyone seems keen to turn a blind eye to her, but you know a liar when you see one... don't you?
Syfyn Javall (she/her) Appearance: 5’11 with warm toned skin that’s often burnt red, leaving splotchy tans along her body. Her eyes are a steely grey, hair blonde and cut to barely brush against her shoulders. She tries to often wear it up despite this, resulting in most of the hair falling out messily. She's covered in scars with feathers in her hair, and her pupils are slits. Her teeth are all mostly sharp. Background: Syfyn Javall, The Brazen Griffin, Second-in-Command to the Plaithian Army. She used to work beneath you once-- used to fight beside you and honor you both as a comrade and friend. You grew up together within the military. When you had nobody, you had each other. But then you betrayed her-- or maybe she betrayed you. You don't know who started what, but you do know that the blood is on both of your hands now.
Sabir Du Vaelas (he/him) Appearance: 6’1 with dark, cool toned skin, black eyes, and long black hair kept in locs. He wears expensive robes that are a deep teal and is covered head to toe in expensive silver jewelry, most of which is covered in snake symbolism. Sabir's ears are pierced in several areas, and he tends to wear silver eyeliner and highlight. Background: Sabir, otherwise known as The Silven Viper, Eye of Plaithus, used to be your charge. He's a politician-- one of the better ones, if such a thing exists. Your past together was volatile-- perhaps you were lovers, or friends, or enemies. Either way, he saved your life when you otherwise would've been put to death by the state, and you owe him thanks for that much.
Freedom (gender selectable) Appearance: 6′0 with pallid, paper-white skin and bronze eyes that appear to almost be filled with a shimmering liquid. Their hair is waist-length and black with an iridescent sheen to it, long black claws bordering on talons on their hands. They wear long, tight fitting black robes. Background: You hear its voice sometimes, when it's quiet and you're alone. You try to tune it out. You try to ignore it. It forces you to remember things. To feel things. It's within you, wiggling and writhing, waiting for the right moment to attack. At times it feels predatory. At others, its presence is comforting-- protective and doting. It'll become whatever you want it to be. It'll become whatever you need it to be.

Tumblr media
– NOTES 📌 ★ human error cannot be overcame by one autism boy's realness but i tried my best and everything listed is either 100% accurate and confirmed or is as best as i can do. if it's not listed i just don't know! ★ so while i would say i tried VERY hard for a long time, there is a disclaimer that i just cannot know bc i'm not a professional lol </3 ★ therefore: this is not in any way "complete" or fully sourced, mostly due to the nature of vintage clothing being hard to source even if it's in your hands and i just had pictures, but that's okay because this is mainly a visual reference resource i made for art and not pedantism 😭 ★ feel free to message me if you have any (100% sourced please...) corrections or additional finds!! ★ EVERY item is vintage and dated give or take, '80 - '95 with a few things sitting even older. if you use this post to try and source any of the items for personal/cosplay use this is important to remember for screen accuracy's sake (but not entirely necessary either lol. for example you could definitely just cop any old similar cut of his plain sweaters, etc. but things like the leather jacket or vest would be more accurate as genuine vintage! whereas i recommend getting new shoes just for them being in good condition if anything... go with ur gut!!) ★ heavy on formatting for clarity and organisation, if you need a plain text version contact me! ★ in appearance order: 23 complete outfits, minus what he wore to barb's funeral because...? well duh ★ YES I'M CRAZY!!!!!

Tumblr media
1: definitely was a practical, keeping-warm choice and i'm sure the intention was to have the ensemble pass as a plain, short sleeved tee but a fun little thing anyway:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2: steve wears a technically-modern version of the classic Member's Only but the differences are entirely cosmetic and superficial, like zipper lengths and metal colouring. the fit is the same! notably, he wears the silver-grey model and not the standard grey.
Tumblr media

14.

Tumblr media
3: assumedly the red striped dickey piece and undershirt are one in the same. behind the scenes footage shows both, and occasionally joe seems to not be wearing the undershirt... ? 😭 usually sailor style shirts and costumes use a dickey piece for convenience as it ties in more uniformly than just a tee-shirt sitting underneath it's like schrodinger's striped shirt here
4: the same jacket he wears in season 4! notably, the tag is left blank, most likely because it isn't a statement piece unlike in season 4. note the ring pull collar, black pocket button detailing and the visible black zipper that points towards the Carrera design:
Tumblr media
5: missing the Gazelle gold lettering, either faded due to them being vintage or purposefully removed for screen

6: to me the sticker he put on it looks like a simple gold star, but it could also be the "Be Kind, Rewind" slogan with a smiley face design, or some sort of assistant manager/ask me anything-type sticker!
18. PURPLE POLO [season 4, episode 2] ★ purple criquet Arthur Stripe polo, tucked ★ Levi's 501 dark wash jeans ★ brown leather belt with rounded end brass buckle ★ Family Video name tag ★ green Family Video vest ★ silver Style Auto Carrera design jacket ★ red Nike Bruin's

7: the original Style Auto patch has been removed for licensing/circulation issues, or, the jacket is just potentially not the actual name brand version and instead an adopted design therefore brandless. or it fell off i don't know. the plastic insert on his breast (haha) now reads a custom generic 80's label:
Tumblr media
20. YELLOW SWEATER [season 4, episode 5] ★ yellow crewneck raglan cotton sweater ☆ fitted cuffs and hem ★ grey cotton chinos [8] ☆ elastic waistband with drawstring ☆ printed blue patterned cuff hem ★ white socks ★ red Nike Bruin's
8: for some reason the Quiksilver x Stranger Thing's "The Steve" pants are actually an almost… 95%? exact recreation of the pants he wears in-show. and like, despite being listed as a collab with the wardrobe dep this is the first time i've seen any sort of replica clothing for something like a random character's pants but it's cool! there may be a little variation in the exact patterning but even to my super perfectionist eye they do seem identical/highly similar :). i belieeeeve what would have happened is the wardrobe made the pants, and Quiksilver received the design to then streamline for their own version. the Quiksilver version has printed pocket linings including the welt of the back pocket, whilst the on screen version are unprinted except for the hem.
Tumblr media
21. EDDIE'S BATTLE JACKET [season 4, episodes 7 ➜ 8] ★ Levi's light wash trucker blanket-lined jacket ☆ sleeveless, distressed ☆ hand stitched Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Motörhead and Leviathan Cross patches ☆ hand stitched Dio, The Last in Line's album cover tee-shirt on back panel ☆ Judas Priest, W.A.S.P., Accept and Mercyful Fate pins personally i would omit wasp/mötorhead in recreations/art/etc but that's just me... ★ grey cotton chinos ☆ elastic waistband with drawstring ☆ printed blue patterned cuff hem ★ barefoot (lol) ★ torn cotton cloth wrap field bandage
22. WAR ZONE OUTFIT [season 4, episodes 8 ➜ 9] ★ type A-2 brown leather flight jacket ☆ custom patches ☆ second-hand in-show ★ camo print cotton tee-shirt ★ long cargo pants ★ M-1955 marine's flak jacket ★ vintage Vietnam jungle boots ★ wooden axe, Molotov cocktails
23. BLUE HENLEY [season 4, episode 9] ★ blue cotton henley ★ white cotton tee-shirt ★ Levi's 501 jeans ★ brown leather belt with rounded end brass buckle ★ blue Nike All Court's
that's all folks!!!
for any shoes or jeans that are off screen/unseen, i would make a safe bet for them being whatever he seems to be wearing the most that season. like he wears the cortez's for the entirety of season 2 even at the halloween party (he is insane) except for in gym so it'd be safe to assume every other shoe would be that one, for example.
★ bonus eddie section: Shot brand black leather jacket with DIY silver chain on the broken sleeve zipper, screenprinted Hellfire Club baseball pattern tee-shirt with the Daydream fontface, texturised. he wears a Casio F-91W digital watch (which he wears... upside down...) and, of course, white Reebok EX-O Fit Hi sneakers
please don't leave inappropriate, weird or sexual comments on this post! they're just jeans 😭

Prompt: 10. Snow Prints
Pairing: Colonel Brandon x Fem!OC
POV: First, OC
Setting: Christmas Market in Town -> The Lake -> Dashwood Home (Not exactly following cannon, moving the time to winter and the manner Brandon visits the Dashwoods for the first time.)
A/N: I thought we’d take a little tiny break from the serial fics - I do feel I need a breath as it takes way more to write several serials at the same time than one shots (for me) 😂 Also, Brandon seems to be very loved this year, so thought I’d give him some more screen time so to say 🥰
I have perhaps spent too much time on this fic but it ended up flowing and turning into this 5k piece - anyway, I really hope you’ll have a splendid time reading this! We are nearing the middle of Rickmas2023 and I feel good about having been able to post at a decent time every day so far 😍👏 (Let’s hope I can keep it up all the way through 👀😂)
Tags/TW’s: Instant Infatuation, Forehead Kisses, Hand Holding, Accidental Meeting, Unintentional Invasion Of Emotional Privacy, Self Derogatory Thoughts, Classicism, Nicknames, Mutual Pining, Confessions Of Adoration/Love, Implied Future Marriage, Slighty Sassy OC, Chivalry, Poverty Hints,

Mrs Jennings laughed by a market stand down the busy street, Margaret squeezed my hand and I could not quite keep a smile from spreading across my lips as she giggled up at me. “She never stops, does she?” Margaret asked with that childlike twinkle in her eye. “I’m afraid not, Maggie,” I chuckled. “She means well, but I do think Miss Markle is quite over her matchmaking attempts, as most of us are.” “Well, you are free of it,” Margaret said with happiness, not knowing the knife it twisted within me. “Indeed, lucky me,” I said as happily as I could. Knowing full well she held little interest of pairing lowly me with anyone at all.
I was an orphan, a mere child-tender for the Dashwoods before Mr Dashwood passed and left the family in ruin - in every manner. Now I was a burden on the kind family, allowed to live with them and dine after them in exchange for not only taking care of Margaret but cleaning and tending to every manner of household chore whenever needed, teaching the child to read and write, to interpret texts as well. No pay given, but a roof over my head and food in my stomach. It was more than I could ask for given the circumstances.
“Mellie,” Mrs Dashwood called, “go buy us some mistletoes and meet us at home!” “Right away, ma’am!” I called back, squeezing Margaret’s hand before ushering her toward one of her older sisters. I trodded off, heading down the market street with vendors filling the space and air with shouts of prices and smells of Christmas. I weaved through the crowd, well-versed in not being in the way.
I found the right vendor and purchased the holly for the Dashwoods, laying them atop the bread and carrots in my basket before turning about. My eyes caught sight of a brilliantly red coat with black and golden details. It stood out in the throng of greys, browns, whites and beige clothes, none as brightly coloured — not even the greens and blues, all in muted saturation. A man of the military? My eyes slid upward only for my breath to catch. He was stunning in profile. Older, with slightly peculiar features — like his hooked nose and thin lips — but more handsome than any other man I had ever laid eyes upon. His grave features and remote manner of looking only made his features shine brighter in the afternoon sun which made the snow glisten on the rooftops.
I stood stock still in the middle of the street, a messenger boy ran right into me, knocking my basket out of my hand — breaking the spell I had been under by the man. I hurried to pick up the greenery, the cloth-wrapped bread, and frost-bit carrots, before scurrying away, throwing one final glance back before entering one of many narrow alleys. His eyes appeared to see me for a second before I turned and hurried away from the market. No matter how handsome the man was, or how my heart had stuttered at his appearance, he was no man for me. I was all too aware of it.
I held on tightly to the basket, the day was beautiful and with the bright sun and lack of wind I managed to keep warm. I sped up my steps as I cleared the town’s border, crossing over a field to take a shortcut through the woods beyond; then it would only be a matter of two more fields to cross, a small hill to hike up, and I would be home once more. I didn’t mind walking through the snow, the boots Mrs Jennings had given me upon winters arrival were far too big but allowed for three pairs of socks which kept me plenty warm as long as I moved about. I was thankful for her gift, even if it were only for them being too small for her but too big for anyone else to wear, and with their shafts reaching nearly to my knees no snow slunk within them even if I pulsed through it at the moment.
I reached the woods, feeling a need to look back toward the town where I had seen the handsome man I was sure to never see again. Even if no man ever finds me to his liking I can at the very least allow the oddity of daydreaming of it to keep me happy, should I not have at least that? I squinted against the direct sunlight as it sank, bathing the sky in orange and pink only making the glittering snow look further magical with the twinkling light of lanterns and candles coming from the town. “A military man, perhaps that would be a grand life.” Not that I shall ever know it for real.
I half giggled to myself, enjoying my little daydream where the man in red would smile sweetly at me and marvelled at the quietly spectacular view. It was interrupted when something came barrelling across the field, someone atop a horse riding at the utmost speed with snow spraying about them yet I could not see any details with the last bit of sun glaring me in the eye and turning them into nothing but a shadow.
I thought little of it, many cut across the field to return home, so I turned and kept walking while wondering what voice would belong to the man in red — a commanding one, an assured one, a powerful one. I could not imagine a man who looked like he had to speak in any meek or bright fashion. No, no a most strong voice ought to belong to such a gentleman.
“Miss!” I spun around in haste at the dark rumble of a call that was somehow heard so clearly. “Miss!” the man called again and I raised a hand to cover my eyes from the sun. My heart stuttered as the man in red came barrelling towards me, his giant black steed’s hooves made the snow spray in magical waves of sparkles all around him.
He halted the horse with great skill, going from a gallop to a near-complete halt in a mere two steps. “Miss,” he said again, his voice a rumble which seemed to shake my insides. “Y-yes?” I asked, bowing my head while curtsying deeply. The thud of feet hitting the snow-covered ground rang out and I looked up. He was a head taller than me, his shoulders stiffly held and his back utterly straight. He looked every bit a stoic gentleman as he inclined his head before reaching out his hand, holding a mistletoe.
“Sir, I— What is this?” I asked while looking between the man who made my heart run rampant and the greenery in his glove-clad hand. “You left this behind, miss.” “Oh… oh!” I rummaged around my basket and indeed, there were only seven when there ought to have been eight of them. “Thank you, sir. I apologize for the trouble you went through for such a small thing.” My cheeks nearly seemed to burn as he handed it over while I spoke and then secured the mistletoe under the towel covering the basket.
The man looked at me, his eyes sweet but his features stoic. “It was no bother, miss. I merely followed the snow prints.” But, I left none behind until I reached the field? “I’m grateful for your kindness and effort, sir.” “Colonel Brandon, miss. At your service,” he said and placed his closed fist atop his chest before bowing slightly. “Melinda Merryweather,” I replied, endeavouring to keep my cheeks from burning up under his stare. “Beautiful Honeybee,” he said in a quiet drone and my eyes widened. “Excuse me, sir?” “Oh, no, miss, your name. Melinda, of Latin origin, meaning sweet. Constructed of mel, meaning honeybee, and Linda, meaning beautiful.”
I was not proud of it, but I gawked at the man. He knew more about my name than me myself. I had been aware of the Latin origin but the meaning of it had never been told to me. “My mother did have a fondness for the buzzing creatures, they fill an important role after all.” “Indeed,” the man said, “there would be little in terms of flowers without them.” “Oh, I was referring to food, Colonel Brandon. Flowers are pretty though.” “Their honey?” “No, they pollinate far more than flowers,” I continued, the education I had been given as a child tender to the Dashwoods far beyond any I would have had in another situation. “You are a woman of education.” “Oh, no, sir. I have merely been most lucky as a tender of children for the lovely Dashwood family.”
I did my utmost to speak calmly, but my entire body seemed caught on fire, the flames growing stronger with each second in his company. Talking is not my issue, remaining silent is. I’m certain he sees me as a know-it-all by now. “Luck plays a grand part in life. I admit, it has not been so graceful to me until now.” “Oh? You appear a most lucky man, sir.” “I shall not ruin said image of me for you, Miss Melinda Merryweather.” What to say to such a statement?
I had no need to think of it though, the man bowed and mounted his steed once more. My heart skipped a beat as he turned the horse about. “Thank you again, Colonel Brandon,” I said and he smiled at me, my skin burned and my breath caught as the last sunlight left the world but it seemed all the brighter when he smiled. “I wish you the best, beautiful honeybee,” he said with a sudden softness to his features and put his horse into motion, setting off in a rushed gallop without looking back once while my heart seemed to race at the same pace as the black horse.
Never had I met a man such as him. He was different, in the most sweet and good manner. I ended up watching him gallop back to town, I simply couldn’t make myself leave before he was gone. Strange sensations filled my chest and the heavy basket in my hand suddenly felt light in comparison to the weight of the newness, or, perhaps it was the knowledge a man such as him were not meant for me. For someone like me. A colonel had little business with a child tender turned into some form of a maid and teacher of reading and writing out of the goodness of my employer of many years. As much as warmth for the man bloomed within me, a sense of hopeless longing grew as well.
***
“I’ll only be an hour!” I called toward the little sitting room where Marianne and Elinor sat, one embroidering and one playing on the forte, while I slipped my boots over the many layers of socks I had adorned. I loved Marianne’s music, and voice, not blessed with either skill myself. Books, poetry, and stories lay me far closer to the heart though.
Reading, writing, and weaving stories of my own were my pleasures. My loves. And the past week my poetry had turned longing and somewhat sappy, to be truthful. I needed a moment with nature, to take a breath and rid my heart and mind of the grand colonel who called me a beautiful honeybee before riding off in a swirl of snow.
I wrapped a second scarf over my shoulders and headed out, the weather was splendid but cold. The midday sun had the world in a sparkle, a winter wonderland to adore and enjoy. I took a deep breath of fresh air and set off down the hidden road few carriages traversed. I followed it down the hill and then began my trodding across the field to reach the ice-covered lake where I was sure the most wonderful view where to be seen.
I had no idea how right I was…
As I came over the little hill, a wonderful view indeed sprawled out before me. But nothing could compare to the man standing right by the edge of the snow-covered beach, holding the reins of his large steed in a loose grip. With the sun shining high I could see him most perfectly, even if he wore no red coat I would have known his posture anywhere. The air about him was that of a single kind. I had spent so many words on the man, writing poetry to expel the feelings I had endeavoured to suppress ever since I had managed to tear myself away from the edge of the forest where I had last seen him galloping away in haste.
I stood still, once more stuck looking at the man from a distance without him being aware, and I felt as if all the feelings I had sought to tamper down and rid myself of through poetry took over completely. Let loose by his appearance where I least expected him. Oh, this is not proper! This is lunacy of the acutest kind. The man is a colonel, for goodness sake. I was about to turn around, play the coward, and run away while my heart ran rampant. “Honeybee!” came the loud rumble of the colonel, stopping me in my tracks (not that I’d begun to actually move).
The sound of boots and hooves walking through snow filled the air as he neared. My mind blanked when his soft gaze landed on me and a small smile spread his lips most sweetly. “Colonel Brandon,” I said and curtsied while hiding my bare hands behind my back. A bit embarrassed I had no gloves to speak of when he wore such fine ones of leather. “What a wonderful surprise,” he said. “What brings you to the lake, miss?” “Oh, umh, well, I was merely out for a walk to— To clear my head a bit, colonel.” “Perhaps a coincidence, I am here for that exact reason. What troubles you, if I may enquire?” You . Not that I could ever admit to such a thing.
“My troubles could not possibly be of any importance to a colonel, sir Brandon.” “I would take great pride in absolving you of any trouble, honeybee.” His voice was honest, his gaze a bit harsher and his voice once more a line rather than a smile, and that nickname set my stomach into an absolute flutter. “Do not tease me, sir.” “Never,” he said while taking a step closer. “I am not a man who would trifle with a beautiful woman,” he continued, taking another step. He was almost too close, yet not close enough.
My fingers fidgeted behind my back, the ends of my scarf swaying lightly in the soft breeze. A gust of wind blew by and my scarf flew off, tumbling along the snow in soft waves. He was off after it before I had a chance to even react. “Colonel!” I called, feeling like a nuisance to the man. “Colonel! Stop! It’s my—” He bent and snagged the thin fabric, holding it up with the sweetest of triumphant smiles before he jogged back. My icy fingers covered my mouth to hide the giggle, or perhaps to cool the heat flushing my face.
“My lady,” he said with a slight bow while holding out my scarf for me. I suffocated the laughter bubbling within me at his theatrics and reached for it. He jolted and grabbed my hand before I could pull away. “No gloves? In this chill?” he asked, concern written all over his handsome face while mine contorted with shame and embarrassment. “Thank you,” I said and wrung my hand free. “For catching it, sir.” I draped it over my shoulders once more but he only tilted his head to study me closer.
“I ought to return,” I said after a moment of silence, a silence far too intense. “They are expecting me at home,” I continued and curtsied swiftly before turning on my heel. “Miss Melinda,” he called, “stay safe!” “I shall, Colonel. I’m quite capable!” I called over my shoulder before waving at him, picking up my pace while leaving deep prints behind which I knew he would not follow this time.
***
It was the tenth of December, another week had passed since I saw the colonel and my little notebook was by now full of poems all revolving around him, around what he made me feel and wished to expel. My silly little heart had no wits about her, my mind just as snagged on his handsomeness — his kindness a lingering torment when there was no world in which I could be anything to such a fine gentleman.
“Mellie,” Margaret whined, “you’ve been writing for hours!” “Huh? Oh, have I really?” “Yes!” she said with a certain oomph to her voice. I merely smiled at her, mustering up the courage to not show her anything at all. “Is there a reason I ought to stop for the moment?” I asked as she leaned on the desk where I had, indeed, been sitting for several hours as lunchtime had arrived. “Mama asked you to fetch a bird for dinner, it’ll be dark if you don’t go soon.” “Oh, oh right! Yes, of course,” I said while shutting my little notebook and standing. “I’ll head out right away.” “But it’s lunchtime, silly goose.” “Well, there will be no goose of any kind, or other bird, if I don’t get a move on, will there?” “I’ll make a sandwich for you,” she said and scurried off with the usual happy spring to her steps. “With cheese and peppers, how you like it!” she called over her shoulder and I smiled at her sweetness.
I was out of the house a few moments later, hurrying towards town once again to get a bird for the family for the evening. Given how cold it was, one could have bought several and just had them in a box outside - they’d keep for weeks if the weather remained. But, again, I was not one to complain about some walking. I was rather fond of being out like that, truth be told. Truth be told, huh? More like give me something to take my mind of the man in a red coat, with a sweet smile, and soft eyes, and— Stop. Just, do not think of him. Simple as that. It was not , however, simple as that.
All the way to town, then through it, and back home again, I thought of the man. When I went down the hill to the house he was really the only thing I thought of at all. The fact I managed to keep my wits about me enough to see snow prints of male shoes unlike any other prints was a miracle. As the Dashwoods had company, obviously of the male kind, I walked around back and took the small servant entrance almost straight into the kitchen.
“Cook, here, I found a fantastic goose for dinner. It’s missing half a wing but the butcher gave me a great price for it.” “My, my, my, that is a good bird,” Cook replied as I held the naked goose up. Plucked and ready for cooking. She grabbed it and my cold fingers flexed with an ache to them. The thing was heavy and with the evening chill I struggled to get my blood flowing again for a moment while undressing my outside clothes only to put on a new scarf over my shoulders and thicker slippers on my feet rather than the boots and tripple socks.
“Here,” Cook said and handed me a tray of tee with some biscuits on a plate. Four cups on it, but it was the pretty china so the fourth one certainly wasn’t for me and Margaret didn’t drink tea. “Who’s visiting?” I asked. “Oh, some upstanding man, the boring type if you ask me. Tense looking. Too old for any of the Dashwoods too, no idea why the lady entertains him for so long.” “Long?” “He’s been ‘ere since one, came right after lunchtime.” “Well, perhaps he fancies one of them, or one of them fancies him. Is he rich?” “Very much so, Mellie.” “Well, there you have it then, Mrs Dashwood couldn’t send a rich man away — no matter his looks or age when she has two daughters she needs to wed.” “Indeed, but we both know the lady cares too much about what her daughters want to ever force a marriage.” “True, maybe she can force a marriage with a rich man upon me?” I laughed, both cook and I perfectly aware I wished for no such thing and nor would it ever happen either. No, love would be my biggest reason for marriage — riches were good, but love far outweighed it in every way.
As I came closer to the parlour I heard Marianne speak, asking whoever was visiting to read another. I didn’t know what she referred to but I gently pushed open the door, not making a sound as I backed in to not wobble the tray. “Snow prints—” My heart stopped in my chest. “—were followed, a path—” My fingers trembled. “—he ought not have taken. She was below—” The tray clattered to the floor, the china breaking and shards scattering all over the floor as I heard Colonel Brandon read my poetry, about him !
“Mellie, goodness me, are you alright?” said Mrs Dashwood with a shriek. I slowly turned, seeing the man who I had written those words for staring at me with wide eyes and slightly parted lips, Marianne sat far too close to him. He was a captivating reader, I could not fault her for her investment, yet my heart ached at the sight of the two.
“I— That’s—” “I gave it to him,” Margaret said with a beaming smile. “You write so well, Mellie!” she kept going and Colonel Brandon looked between me and the notebook containing my most inner thoughts in his hands. His eyes turned wider, his face paled and I felt my insides twist as he stared at me again.
Tears stung my eyes, the shame and embarrassment, the hurt and fear, the ache in my chest at the betrayal of the child I thought so highly of. “Excuse me,” I blurted out before bolting out the door, not staying to clean up the mess. “Mellie!” called Mrs Dashwood. “Mellie, what—” called Marianne with confusion in her tone but I was out of earshot for her sweet, clear voice. Such a contrast to the Colonel’s, so perfectly matched.
I ran out through the kitchen entrance, past Cook who prepared the infernal bird, and out into the snow lit up by the climbing moon as early evening had arrived. “Honeybee!” came the voice I dreaded to hear. “Stop, please!” he called and I stopped, my hand on the gate at the end of the backyard and my slipper-clad feet deeply buried in the white coldness below.
His running steps reached me, and the crunching of snow and slightly panted breaths filled my ears. Warmth wrapped around my shoulders as he hung his coat over me and I spun around in shock at the action. He was stood in only his vest and shirt, the biting wind tossed about his beautiful hair but all I really saw were the sweet, kind eyes staring at me.
“I never knew,” he said quietly while taking a step back. “Knew what?” I asked, attempting to not inhale deeply as his scent wafted up my nose. The perfect scent, the warmest and most comforting of scents. “That is was your beautiful poetry I was reading, the child gave it to me, asked for me to read something out of it. I thought it belonged to one of the ladies present in the room — and they did not object,” he said while looking most forlorn, nearly distressed. “I was not even aware you resided with the Dashwood household.” “I have for many years,” I said. “Marianne will be a perfect match for you,” I continued while thinking of their voices, the way she sat right beside him on the sofa.
Colonel Brandon stepped closer. “I have already found my match,” he said. “I asked you not to tease me, sir. And you said not to be a gentlemen who trifled with women.” “And I have not,” he said, his eyes hardening while coming far too close, forcing me to look up at him. It was all in my head… Only in my heart, not his. Perhaps, perhaps he is merely a most kind man? I have little experience with those.
“Honeybee,” he said, snagging my attention anew. “I have not, and will not, trifle with you, tease you. I am too old for games and life far too dark as is for me to make it any worse.” “Sir!” “I speak true,” he declared. “A gentleman such as you ought to be more aware of your own handsomeness.” He blanched at that, blinking at me before a timid smile stretched his lips in a manner that looked as if he were unable to control it.
“You find me handsome?” “What woman in their right mind would not?” “Oh, I do believe you may be a woman of singular taste, honeybee.” I gasped, gaping at him. “I beg your pardon? Are you accusing me of something?” “I am not a favourable option for most beautiful women, such as yourself. I am well aware of it. My riches perhaps an aid in seeing past it, or my standing in society.” I gasped anew, a mixture of an exhale and a laugh of disbelief.
“You are terrible, sir. You may wish to know I had no idea who you were until you introduced yourself, even then, I am new to this part of the county and have had little to do with the upstanding citize n so I am not aware of your riches. I do recognize the bravery and skill you possess to climb up the ranks, but any silly nilly knows such things,” I said with both hurt and irritation at the man who twisted my insides with warmth and want. “I apologize, miss,” he said, his face held in some sort of shame at the assumption he’d held of me perhaps. “No need, I am but a servant of no importance or value.” “What a foul thing to say…” “Truth is sometimes.”
Time stretched on while we stood in silence, simply looking at each other. “Miss Melinda, your poetry,” he began while looking at me with something I could only describe as respect, perhaps even admiration, “it is most beautiful, passionate, deep .” The change of subject threw me for a loop, a man such as him ought to hold no admiration of any kind for a woman such as I. “Like your voice,” I whispered before I could stop myself. I had thought of hearing my words in his voice, there was no way not to when his voice was such perfection. He chuckled. “My voice is to your liking?” “Everything about you is to my liking, as far as I’m aware. Sir .” I couldn’t help the sass, or the way my face had hardened while my insides were in an uproar over the man. I had to protect myself from the rejection that was sure to come despite his sweet words. It was only a matter of time, surely.
Yet, it did not.
His hands cupped my face, the gesture most intimate and highly improper. “If you are ever made aware of a trait of mine that is not to your liking, I will be very much obliged to correct it, to your liking, honeybee.” “W-What do you mean?” I asked, my breath tumbling out in a shuttering way. “Would you object to me?” My eyes widened while his finger stroked my cheek. “Object to you? Sir?” “I am beyond happy I caught a glimpse of you, heard the vendor call for you about the holly, and found your prints at the edge of town. I rode around quite manically to find you, you know. Following those snow prints, it was the best decision I have ever made.” “Colonel… Stop, we cannot, it’s not proper.” “Propriety can take flight and be on its merry way, honeybee. I have my heart set on you, my beautiful honeybee who writes the most captivating of poetry and smiles with nothing but honesty in her eyes. I have my heart set on you, Melinda Merryweather.” “It was about you…” I whispered while my skin burned under his touch. “Me?” “Yes… For weeks now, I’ve tried all I can to rid myself of these feelings and thoughts…”
Brandon viewed me with a mixture of torment and joy, I chuckled nervously while he released my face and grasped my hands. His coat slid off my shoulders as he tugged me closer — gently — and the cold December air wrapped itself around me. “Would you allow said feelings to grow? Fester? Become an irrevocable part of you?” “Colonel…” “I am already lost to you, honeybee. Allow me the chance to make you happy,” he asked kindly, his hummingly dark voice nothing but an endless promise of said happiness. “Yes. Yes, please,” I whispered as tears of relief and joy wetted my cheeks. “Honeybee… Beautiful Melinda… My Melinda,” he said before he leaned in and kissed my forehead with force, his thin lips perfectly warm against my chilled skin. “You shall not regret this, I promise you my all.”
We leaned back, my heart was aflutter and my stomach a warm ball of knots, and I could not help but smile at the sweet gentleman who had captivated my heart so easily. “I fear any regret I may have will be only a reflection of your own, Colonel.” “Christopher,” he corrected. “My name, is Christopher, honeybee.” “Christopher.” “How sweet a sound you make it. I shall wish to hear it every day for the rest of my life.” I only nodded at that, too stunned to speak when he so brazenly declared I was to be his for all time to come. I held no objections to that as his hands squeezed mine with warmth, his kind eyes a balm to my soul and his smile a thing of beauty far beyond the sparkling snow all around us…

say hi pack of pixies!
listen i was going to wait to post this until i did one with their masquerade outfits to match but i’m so exhausted after this it might be a minute
[id: A height chart lineup of the cast of Dimension 20′s A Court of Fey and Flowers:
Captain K.P. Hob (212cm, or 230cm with ears)
Prince Andhera (190cm)
Lady Chirp Featherfowl (165cm but her knees are bent, making her look shorter)
Lord Squak Airavis (180cm)
Gwyndolin Thistle-Hop (144cm, or 183cm including leaf)
Binx Choppley (120cm, or 144 including moth feelers)
Delloso de la Rue (true form 230cm, glamoured form 180cm).
The first image shows the full lineup, and the second and third show each half. /end id]
more detailed description under the cut
Hob is a fluffy brown bugbear with large fangs, yellow eyes, and tall pointed ears. He is dressed in his goblin uniform, a black coat with gold trim and epaulets, and a red sash decorated with various medals, complete with tall military hat. He is holding a halberd with a red handle and silver blade with gold inlay, and his other arm is tucked behind his back, holding onto the inside of the elbow of his opposite arm. His elbows come down to his thighs, and he has a short, deer-like tail.
Andhera is a young Unseelie faerie with dark plum-coloured skin, extremely long pointed ears, and ember-red irises on black sclerae. His hair is in messy curls flopping down to the side, and streaked with dark grey. He is wearing his usual gold and black robe, exposing his chest, which is shiny from the drizzle raining down from their cloud. He is wearing a gold circlet on his head and several matching earrings in their extremely long ears. They are touching the back of their neck with their left (viewer’s right) ungloved hand, and have their right hand half-raised in a timid wave. He is smiling sheepishly.
Chirp is a bird-like faerie styled after a Victoria crown pigeon, pale blue with muted purples and greens in her feathers. She has a beaky nose and her face is fluffy with feathers at the edges. She has a huge poff of feathers on top of her head, decorated with one tall peacock feather. She is back-to-back with Squak, and is posed with one leg kicked out, and her left arm (front) extended to show off her birds of paradise flower tattoo sleeve. Her other hand is holding her folding blade, arranged as a fan, and her hands are clothed in dusty pink gloves. She has a long, raven-feather cloak.
Squak is less bird-like in his face than Chirp, but has stalk legs with talons like the secretary bird he is styled off. He has medium-brown skin and hair that is in white cornrows at his crown changing to tight black afro curls at his neck. From the back of his neck, there are black flourishes also in the style of the secretary bird. He is wearing a green coat with gold detailing, including shiny feathers on the arms. He has a green waistcoat and white cravat, black short knickerbockers, and grey gloves. He also has two thin tail-feathers with black tips. He is standing upright, back-to-back with Chirp, and is holding his hands in a flourish.
Gwyn is a cartoonish- uncanny-looking petite faerie. She has light brown skin, bubblegum pink curly hair, huge purple eyes, a small purple flower mark on her cheek, and a big green thistle leaf sprouting from the crown of her head. She is poised delicately with a tight smile, and perpetually standing en pointe, or on her tip-toes. She is wearing a poofy, frilly periwinkle blue dress with dark blue ribbons and pale pink underskirting. Her ballet slippers are the same blue as the ribbons, decorated with the same daisies, and she is wearing white gloves and gold earrings.
Binx is a stout moth faerie with much more proportional features than Gwyn, but the same eyes. They have brown moth wings folded at their back, and fluffy feelers on top of her dead. She has dark purple, short-ish messy hair and is dressed in dark purple and bronze, with detailing like damselfly wings. Their ears are medium-sized and pointed. She is covered in pinkish blotches on her cheeks, shoulders, wrists, and bare feet, and her skin is otherwise light brown. Their eyebrows are styled in dots, and they are wearing purple lipstick and a paperclip as a hair clip. They have a ribbon as a belt holding a large needle like a sword, a spool of blue thread and buttoned bag. They are wearing the shell from Andhera on their wrist and are fiddling with a Rubiks cube.
Rue’s true form is a huge owlbear (bipedal, top half owl and bottom half bear) with a barn owl’s face and dark talons. They have yellow-green-tinted feathers that become dark khaki as they get longer, and dark brown furry legs. They have big, shiny black eyes, and pink speckles around them. They are wearing a big, bronze and gold gown with a slit in the skirt. It is decorated with metallic peonies and petals matching the living pink peonies on their shoulders and flower crown, and the pink buds in amongst their “wings” which cascade down more like decorative fringing than feathers. They hold out one talon (viewer’s left) in a flourish.
Their glamoured form is a tall, fat humanoid with mint-coloured skin, long elfin ears, yellow eyes, and a hooked nose. They have very long wavy sea-green hair decorated with pearls and neat stubble that glitters heavily, and are wearing a spiral shell as an earring. They are wearing a glittering pale blue form-fitting dress that flares out at the bottom into pale green ruffles, resembling sea-foam. The dress has full sleeves that become fingerless gloves. There is a slit in the skirt which their leg emerges from, showing off leg hair and a light blue sparkling heeled shoe. They have a pearl and teardrop necklace over a pale purple ribbon, and the skirt of the dress is also decorated with strings of pearls. They have their left hand (viewer’s right) on their hip while their right hand leans on a cane with a pearl handle.

More about my situation
I have a family history of spinal issues (my dad had major spine surgery when I was 6, with his side of the family having consistent acquired spine injuries going back generations) and unfortunately my turn on the family spine came a good 10 years before 'normal'. I seem to have 2 separate issues co-occurring in the T and S sections of my spine which are causing gradual motor function loss and a LOT of pain. I have also had a mystery fatigue/pain condition which we are now about to confirm as fibromyalgia since about age 15.
After my legs nearly gave out at work last November during a particularly bad pain episode at work, I went and got an intial MRI that showed irregularities in my spine in the areas my pain comes from. I have gotten much worse since then so need new MRI's with added contrast dye which brings the price up quite a bit (it will be $4-500+). I quit my job in February under the impression that I just needed to rest for a bit and could go to a less intense job after 3 weeks. I honestly don't think I would have lasted much longer if I didn't quit anyway because I was taking close to or the 24 hr limit of panedeine forte at work just for the 8 hour shift (needed to drive so couldn't take stronger opioids + opioids make me feel HORRIBLE). I think my body was holding out until I had a period of rest because I began declining quite rapidly between February and now.
I have been using crutches to help walk/stand for about a month and a half now and I can't stand for more than an hour max (30+ mins is starting to push it tho), which is a HUGE contrast to 6 months ago where I was standing 32+ hours a week and moving around constantly. I've also gone from being able to comfortably lift 25-30kg to struggling with less than 10. These limitations knock out a LOT of jobs I'm qualified for (read: non-skilled, physical labour) - so trying to find answers for what's happening to me is very difficult and slow because I can't afford to just throw myself at specialists; and with the unofficial and slow death of bulk billing in Australia even my GP is getting too expensive. My partner is also disabled and receives DSP from the government so is not in a position to help finance my medical care because he is barely affording his own.
You're of course under absolutely no obligation to support me (and this isn't a sympathy post), but sharing this around would mean the world to me because I REALLY need to get some money together for medical care.

Alright here's the results for the 2024 Precure Hopes and Predictions!
Q1: Hopes for the theme of the season?
Technology/games. Or more likely: science?
Military, video games
Technology / Gaming
Computers and/or bugs
Video games/Tech
the arts (both performing and visual)
Seriously hoping for creating things as a theme
Art theme! Or something winter-related (a precure team located in Hokkaido? That would be so cool!)
I would like a season based on a combination of gemstones and popular hobbies like arts, sports, and science. It can have a moral theme of "finding your inner sparkle, your one true talent."
I've always thought that season-based characters (spring, summer, etc.) were really fun, with lots of possibilities as far as power and design go! But it would be harder to have a sixth ranger, and we've just had a 4+1 season, so I'm not too hopeful… I guess I'd like a story around art (like, each of the girl represent a certain form of creativity?) We've had lots of cures who were artist of some kind, but their interests are rarely reflected by their cure powers!
someday i want a 4 seasons precure
Flowers
I hope for flowers theme or elementals but i think it will be idols or fashion
Insects would be fun! (ladybug lead, butterfly and honeybee Cures. Moth midseason!)
Carnival.
Cars and racing, fairy tales (specifically Peter Pan), music and dancing
We never had a proper fairy/fairy tale season, so that!
Fairy
unlikely but aliens would be fun
cats/felines + lolita fashion + fantasy
Pirates
Mythology
Gemstones
Sports
Q2: Predictions for Cure theme colours?
Standard pink/yellow/blue to follow the pattern Hugtto set
please please please don’t go back to pink/blue/yellow
Ideal - Pink/Yellow/Green/Blue or White; Realistic - Pink/Blue/Yellow/Purple
Pink, blue, yellow, purple
Pink, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Red
I want a blue and a pink at first, then green and yellow (maybe also purple) but I am sure it will be pink/blue/yellow again
Pink, Blue, Yellow, Purple maybe, No green lol
Pink, blue, yellow, purple, maybe green?
I'm kind of curious, since Toei got pretty original with the colour scheme this year… My guess is, either they'll go for something super conventional like Healin Good or Delipre, or they're going to keep their "unique color scheme" streak.
Similar to ALaMode it can be the standard trio (PBY), followed by a red and purple duo, and later joins a vibrant green.
pink, blue/teal, purple, black/white/grey would be super cool!
Pink, Orange, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple
Pink - Blue - Red - White (midseason)
Pink, Red, Purple
Pink, blue, green
Pink, red, white, and purple
White, orange, indigo, green, red, teal
dark pink/red, blue, and gold (later cures would be green, purple, and black/white/grey)
For gaming: the usual letter button colors (red green yellow blue) For science: uhh, def needs a Cure Combust thats red. I imagine her having a combo attack with a blue cure that makes blue fire.
Pink leader (current season was too revolutionary, time for Toei to get back to a safer structure), a yellow/orange, a blue one, a mixed weird color joining mid-season and hopefully a green cure
for aliens green orange pink
Green pleasssse (probably pink for the main Cure)
We've gotta get at least one green cure right?
Two colours for each Cure.
Q3: How many Cures do you expect there to be at the start?
Tumblr media
Q4: Any other thoughts?
Hopefully there'll be more than one villain active at the same time, Hirogaru Sky was honestly kind of disappointing in that regard (it does not help that the first villain's debut came with a fart joke).
I'm fine with another pink, yellow and blue Cures, but please, at least try to make them different by using different shades of said colors. There are so many, don't settle for the most basic color palette.
If it doesn't happen, I could always make fancures instead.
I really want a cure who becomes an engineer of some kind in the epilogue. Specifically a girl becoming an engineer
I am sure it will not be what I want XD but precure prove me wrong this year!
I would love unique flower motifs for each cure. All of the possibilities!
Mythology would also be a fun theme, but the Tropical team had a phoenix and so did Cure Wing, so they would probably try to space that out.
The cures' designs would be based on wild cats and domestic cat breeds: maine coon, norwegian forest cats (e.g cure forrêt), serval, jaguar. There would be a cat goddess (who could possibly also be a precure)!
Male Cure, Twins as cures, a disabled cure, a chubby cure, and a cure of color (like Elena)
I think it'd be neat to have the main trio be required to transform together as a call-back to Black/White, Bloom/Egret, Melody/Rhythm, Miracle/Magical, and Macherie/Amour, plus to keep celebrating 20 years of Precure
they will go back to pink/blue/yellow
i want scifiesque magical girls i feel like theres been lots of fairytale themeing recently and i want something very different also the idea of the midseason cure being the pink one amuses me greatly
I want more boy cures
A male lead, preferably voiced by Yuki Kaji
Please, no babies, not another one…
Random list of elements that (I think) haven't been done that much in a precure season: 1) Have cures be siblings/give a significant role to a cure's sibling. 2) Have characters actually be in a romance! I know precure has a young demographic, so romance isn't exactly important, but it's a bit tiresome how many precure romances tend to be unresolved crushes that are dragged throughout the season! I don't care if it's girl/girl, girl/boy or boy/boy, it would just be nice to see characters confess to each other and have their relationship build from there throughout the story. 3) I know there have been debates on relationships between the cures and the villains, how redeemable the villains are, how much the cures should be concerned about them, etc., but I'd like Toei to play on that dynamic more. Maybe a villain questioning their allegiance, or even turning out to be a mole for the good guys! Or on the opposite side, a cure joining the bad guys willingly, whether misguidedly or to become a mole themselves! 4) Fun stuff with the mascots! The mascots are a family! A mascot is a family member of a cure (don't ask me how that works!) Secretely-a-villain mascot! Mascot who is reluctant in their role and a bit cranky! 5) Families and non-magical friends being a relevant part of the cures' life. To be fair, it has been done several times, but it's always nice to see. 6) Boarding school!
Thanks to everyone who took part, reading these was super fun. Let's see if anyone got it right! (though you only get half of a point if the pink-blue-yellow prediction turns out right lol)

just some passing thoughts about the default pose/ keyart for every character, and noticing some design choices for JP (obviously, who else would i be talking about in detail)
so this is JP's:
Tumblr media
..but it's easier to talk about it after looking at some of the other casts' artworks first
Tumblr media
Marisa's is clearly connected to her stage, The Colosseum
the background is a sandy brown and the effects are an eruption of rose petals, which also litter the ground of her stage floor
the shape of the rose petal explosion is also impactful and passionate, almost like a spray of blood. it all fits her character well
Tumblr media
then, we have styles like Blanka, which reference the electricity of his attacks. it's also got this hand drawn and comical look to it that work well with his personality.
the blue background is simple: just keeps in line with his overall color palette, so ofc it's going to work well
Tumblr media
finally, we have ones like Juri's. more abstract, but you get what kind of emotion they wanted to convey with it. it's miasmic, the black and pink/ purple looks like an evil aura, which fits her perfectly.
her background also has these, action line like smears that suggest movement, or how the lights of the city blur past as you speed on a motorcycle
Tumblr media
i could go through the full cast's, but the point is that many of them are quite easy to identity what and why they chose what they did.
Cammy's is in the shape of a triangle: a delta symbol, for Delta Red. Guile's got stripes that are like the US flag, green for military. Kimberly's is basically her spraypaint, AKI has flowers for her 'snake among the flowers' theme. etc etc
which is partially why i couldnt help but look at JP's and be a bit confused at first (prompting this post lol)
the background is more straight forward: the same burgundy, velvet-ish red that's used in his title cards. it's a luxurious color that fits him well
most of the other artworks also have this, vignette effect towards the bottom, so im not surprised that JP's does as well. but his seems emphasized more, making the red look like running blood stains on a wall. regal and sinister, i like it but then the grey paint smear behind him. so far, a lot of the 'effects' use the colors for each character's drive impact. JP's, does not. his in game is a bright, gold-cream white (much like his default costume's cape), that turns into a darker purple, for his psycho power.
but the smear here is a concrete grey, streaked straight down making it look like torn wallpaper. if the velvet red background is his outer appearance- the nice paints that everyone sees on first interaction- then the grey is what it's really like underneath: the cold, uncaring foundations of a building, exposed by being ripped off the canvas
it also runs vertical, giving a very, oppressive look to it compared to if it were horizontal or some other gesture-y smear anyway, just some thoughts about what they might've been trying to evoke with his key art. i like it a lot, even though his pose is just. him standing there lmao. not literally a t-pose, but it's got the t-pose energy yknow what i mean

Quick Descriptions
Realized that I don't have any sort of post talking about each of the suspected entities. For this, we're going with the 8 Entities theory. They will be labeled by where they show up most frequently, and in order of most documented to least documented. My apologies in advance for the long post.
Carnival: This entity is supposedly like an old jester. It appears in any sort of old entertainment venue, but seems particularly fond of circuses/carnivals. Its tone has been described as high-pitched and fluctuating. It reportedly has pink skin, blue hair, eyes that are a pink and cyan swirl, sharp teeth, and- most interestingly- ears that (though pointed) are long and fold downwards toward the ends, with the very tips being cyan balls. Its energy is high and it reportedly loves to play games.
Casino: My personal favorite!! It's apparently the most human-looking of all the entities. Described to have a beard, greying hair, slightly tanned skin, and green eyes. It apparently uses a southern accent, and is reportedly "oddly charismatic" (guess you could call that southern charm, eh?). It's somewhat violent and owns some sort of handgun. It mainly shows up in abandoned establishments that I could only describe as "seedy".
Church: Pine's favorite! It's described pretty similarly to the Casino entity, but with a clean-shaven face and white eyes. On top of that, it's almost always seen in a priest's cassock. It has very few violent encounters, showing great amounts of patience and mercy towards anyone it encounters. Also! It only shows up in abandoned places of worship. So temples, churches, etc are all possibilities.
Cemetery: This entity is said to appear in places of grief- anything from abandoned morgues to graveyards. Its body said to be in blue monochrome with a black veil and dress. Its hair is long (about to its knees in most descriptions). Its feet and hands are noticeably muddied, and its unnaturally blue eyes are reportedly always visible. It's always crying. I kind of want to hug it just reading about it, to be honest.
Diner: A bit of an anachronistic being- this one is described as initially seeming like a human waitress, but then comes back out as a 3D 1950s cartoon. Its eyes- in what I can only assume is its actual form- are pie-slice styled. Its teeth are often said to be shark-like. It is described as having orange hair and eggshell-white skin. It's also reportedly very quick to anger.
Barracks: This entity has a military aesthetic and appears in abandoned military bases. It's known to be easy to upset. It's said to have eyes of red, with no visible iris or pupil. It's also been described as having a buzzcut, several open wounds that never seem to bleed, and a monotone.
Warehouse: HYPER-VIOLENT. It's known to be at the very least hostile and at the very most bloodthirsty. Elusive. It is tall, and in some accounts has glowing yellow dots for pupils and black gears for irises.
Trainyard: Also elusive- it somehow has less reports than the Warehouse entity. Its eyes are supposedly headlights? It appears mainly in transportation stations.

bcs costume analysis notes
(live document to be edited, these are for me, but feel free to read)
Saul Goodman
Colour palette - Rainbow, brown. Who is the character Jimmy is trying to inhabit? Who is he trying to get across to, and be in opposition to?
Distinctive features - Suit, pocket square, garish colours
Wardrobe - Suits, pinky ring (from Marco), loafers
Hogwarts House - Snake (?) Badger
Kim Wexler
Colour palette - Black, grey, blue. Only character to prominently wear pink (innocence, romantic love), before Howard's death and in her promo pic.
Distinctive features - Ponytail, earrings and necklace
Wardrobe - Skirt suits, heels
Hogwarts House - Lion Badger
Mike Ehrmantraut
Colour palette - Black (death, of self, morality), Blue (police force, on side of law), Green (military background), Grey (of self, morality)
Distinctive features - Grey, black
Wardrobe - Jackets, shirts, civilian wear.
Hogwarts House - Lion (?) Bird
Nacho Varga
Colour palette - Red (impulsivity, cartel proximity, passion), black (proximity to death, intimidating, death of self w/regards to parental expectations and deadening effects of violence)
Distinctive features - Red and black colour scheme, snake earring, gold chains, shaved head
Wardrobe - Muscle shirts, leather jacket.
Hogwarts House - Snake Lion
Gus Fring
Colour palette - Yellow, civilian uniform. Black (death, of self, justice for dead partner) Purple (royalty, specialness) Blue (personal law, surface adherence to societal law)
Distinctive features - none yet
Wardrobe - Glasses frames, suits. Armour.
Hogwarts House - Snake Bird par excellence
Eduardo "Lalo" Salamanca

Has worn khaki green (carrying out recon on Mike). Wore a flesh-pink shirt to meet Gus (it's not really yellow, but it could be a case of mirroring to engender trust)
Distinctive features - Bright blue shoes, 70's adjacent fashion (the era of the drug barons, see Narcos). The 2000s were a spotty time for fashion, but I think there was a deliberate choice here to call to that.
Wardrobe - Shirts with a "buzziness", prints, swirls, etc, flashy belt buckle, narrow look.

Rough colour spectrum notes
Red to orange to yellow is the criminal spectrum, with red being the most violent/leading to violence (Tuco, Nacho, characters that are about to commit violence or threatening violence) and yellow being the most uninvolved (Gus Fring's civilian uniform, the arms dealer, Dr Caldera).
Brown is the midpoint, trying to ride between the two spectrums. Grey is the midpoint between two absolutes - black, death, and white, innocence. That doesn't mean it's a moral good - it's the expression of lawful neutral, with a capacity to step into either. Jimmy wears brown at the beginning where he's trying to toe the line between "colourful" and following the letter of the law. Mike wears grey because he's committed murder and forfeited a part of his soul (black), but he's trying to keep clean for Kaylee and Stacey (white, innocence). The darker his actions and motivations, the darker the grey. And of course, by Breaking Bad, he's a consigliere and a man in black.
Black is death - literal death, past death, death of the self, death of one's conscience. Gus Fring wears black like a judge puts the black hat on when prescribing death - death is revenge, which is a form of justice for Gus. His mission is to take revenge for his dead partner.
White is innocence, removal from the cartel or criminal worlds. Lawyers, especially Howard Hamlin, and honest working man Papa Varga frequently have white accents in their clothing. The exception is Eladio Vuente, king on Olympus, who doesn't need to get his hands dirty at all.
Pink is another form of innocence, but more closely connected with love. Kaylee and Stacey Ehrmantraut wear pink, and Rebecca wears it in her scarf when coming to Chuck's trial.
Blue in all its shades is the legal spectrum. Note: not the morally good spectrum, just the law. Personal law, literal law, adherence to the law, belief in one's law. It often crops up with members of the police and nearly every lawyer we see on screen. Lalo Salamanca's blue shoes show how committed he is to familial law ("la familia es todo") and to the laws of the cartel. He is a main beneficiary and upholder of those laws. He sees himself as fundamentally just and mission-focussed (his behaviour with his underlings at the estate or the people smugglers show this character streak).
Purple is an interesting colour, in that it is worn often by those in (or perceiving themselves to be in) positions of high status. Gus, the dignified man who would found an empire and has a "protected" status, wears purple, as does Lalo, the cartel prince. Its historical associations with royalty and specialness explain this. As a mix of red and blue, one can also view it as a midpoint.

Margin!!!!
I got Fractal on the mind today. I know you probably described him somewhere, but what does your Fractal look like?
Ah yes. So. I actually have pictures that I will link here (for minish cap, featuring four) and here (for four swords, including shadow and the colors) BUT
I will also describe him because I like that :)
So. In his natural, non-split state- specifically talking in the time of Minish Cap- he has blue-grey eyes and golden-blond hair, which also has several other colors blended in there but they aren't very pronounced... yet. During Minish Cap, he is 15 years old. I seem to have developed a habit of aging up the toon Links and Zeldas- take that as you will. He's about 5'2 because that is the tallest any Link will ever get, ever, unless you happen to be Dawnbringer or Paladin, who are, respectively, 5'3 (because he must fit the definition of grimdark fantasy hero) and 5'3 1/2 (because he is the oldest of the Links, at 19, and also because he has to have some sort of commanding presence since he's a Link and... well... soft-spoken and military commander don't mesh together very well).
Post Minish Cap but Pre Four Swords (because I did a linked universe and made them the same guy), he graduates his blacksmith apprenticeship, officially joins the Hyrulian Army, and ends up sustaining several facial scars- one on his left eyebrow, one on his right cheek, one across his nose, and one leaving a nick in his ear.
During Four Swords, he becomes the colors. YAY my boys
Anyway. I'll do bullet points for them
Green looks the most like unsplit Fractal, with golden hair, but he has green eyes and keeps only the nose scar.
Blue has strawberry blond hair (because something something redheads), blue eyes, and the eyebrow scar.
Red has dirty-blond hair, red eyes, and the cheek scar.
Vio has LIGHT blond hair, violet eyes, and the ear nick.
And SHADOW has black hair, red eyes with black sclerae (aka whites), and all the facial scars but bright red, almost looking like they're bleeding.
Post Four Swords and the Recombination, the different-colored strands in his hair become much more pronounced, and his eyes, while retaining their blue-grey hue, have green/blue/red/violet speckles in them if you look close enough.
ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDSA I am so glad you asked I love ranting about my boysssss :3

1, 7, 9, & 10 ~ rebeccaselfships
(for this one i'll do albert wesker and excella gionne!!! <3)
---
(1) When they eat, are they a salt lover type of person or do they have a sweet tooth?
Although she wouldn't immediately tell you, Excella's got a bit of a sweet tooth, particularly for dark chocolate and salted caramels. Sometimes as a gift I'll get her a box of gourmet chocolates which she seems to appreciate! Albert has a very refined palette in terms of food, but he leans more toward salt lover than sweet tooth. He tends to prefer food with a bit of spice as well, which thankfully he's with two people who are fine with spicy food.
(7) What flower/plant/etc reminds them of you and vice versa?
When I think of Excella, three flowers come to mind. The first is the jasmine flower, since it's a beautiful flower used in decoration and also it has a scent used popularly in perfume. It feels like an elegant flower, just like her. The second is the white amaryllis for its radiant beauty, which only underestimates how I feel of her. The third is the red azalea, a symbol of elegance and wealth. When she thinks of me, the first to mind is a lavender. It's a calming flower, representing peace; coming together really helped soothe her once she took her walls down. The second is blue hydrangea, great for weddings but also it symbolizes forgiveness and honest intent. She was scared to trust me at first, and it led to her initially being cold and distant, but eventually she learned to warm up and didn't want me thinking she truly despised me anymore. When I think of Albert, I think of the red azalea, same as Excella. The second is the red calla lily, as it symbolizes not only admiration and courage, but a passionate love. The third would have to be the purple crocus, representing spring and rebirth, sent to loved ones who will notdeter from the pursuit of their goals. When he thinks of me, the first to mind is the red aster flower, as it symbolizes undying devotion, which he can translate to how the two of us have managed to stay together after having spent so much time apart after the Arklay Mansion incident. The second is the pink hibiscus. Although it can mean all types of love and passion, he also knows it's my favourite flower.
(9) How do they like their favorite coffee/tea or meal? How do you like yours?
All three of us drink coffee or tea depending on the mood. In terms of coffee, Excella loves treating herself to a cappuccino, or sometimes a marocchino if she's having a particular chocolate craving. Albert tends to take his coffee black, nothing more. I prefer iced mochas or sometimes a caramel latte. In terms of tea, Excella drinks either green teas or sometimes chai teas. Albert prefers black teas like earl grey or pu-erh. I myself enjoy the more fruity or herbal teas, either a cherry-hibiscus tea or a chamomile, either with added honey.
(10) What things do you both have in common/like to bond over?
Excella and I initially bonded over our surprise on how after eight years of not seeing Albert, he was so quickly able to bounce back into the relationship he and I had put aside. Eventually, I started getting invested in her talks about fashion, and she likes dressing me up from time to time (and I like doing the same to her)! She was a genetic engineering major and also works for a pharmacutical company, so we also talk about our research and what got us into our love of science, although I picked it up a lot later in life than she did. Albert's similar in the fact that he also works with Excella and has a degree in virology, so we also tend to talk about our research. Back in the STARS era we'd also discuss our lives in the military, him for the army and myself for the navy, although at least for me it was NROTC to help pay off college debt. We also like watching those game shows on television, especially Albert who loves getting the answer immediately and making petty remarks about those who don't get the answer as fast as he does.
