do you guys think those are mochi’s natural eyebrows or that he draws them on ?

i mean. look at him. he is NOT this good at make-up but those are NOT natural. ??

i am conflicted...

hey hello taku dear <3 gahh once again we haven’t spoken in too long :( anyways it mostly was bc there was zero tokrev brainrot in me buut there is now!! so i’m back here hehe.

also funfact i just fiNALLY started rereading tokrev and i’m doing it in french bc. idk i just felt like it?? i hate french but i’m actually practicing it now lol. and ngl i understand more than i thought i would-

anyways on saturday i watched la gardiennes de la planète (a movie abt whales) in the cinema and idk how but. like halfway through a merfolk concept just popped into my head n bc i obviously couldn’t just forget abt it i decided to write a tokrev merfolk au. so guess who’s writing their fourth moshion fic? me. idek why but they have a chokehold on me and i keep writing abt them. tho it’s fun so no complaints <3

well i insaned abt the fic a little... okay that’s a lie i wrote 3.5k of fic in the span of 22 hrs, beating my preccious record of 2.7k in 24 hrs. so okay i’m more than a little insane abt it- so so so plot and lore bc i cannot contain myself. firstly shion’s a merman n mochi is human. then it’s also a college au but mochi isn’t studying rn bc for plot conveniences his last semester of highschool n his 1st semester of college don’t line up so he’s got a few months of free time. i still hc that his parents are rich af but imo he lives alone in a rather small flat he pays with his own money as best he can bc he wants to. idk. well okay so basically what i’ve written so far: mochi finds shion injured n tangled in a fishers’ net at the beach while on a late night walk, and takes him to his flat to help. there he fills the bathtub with water for him, and gets the rope off his body. lastly, he treats his injuries. then he goes to sleep bc it’s the middle of the night- and when he wakes up again the next day, the bathtub is empty and shion’s lying on the floor in his corridor. and he suddenly has legs. bc in this au merfolk just transform into a human form into drying out (n then transform back when they’re wet enough. which is very wet) and shion my fav idiot tried to go back to the ocean on his own but got stuck in the hallway and got too dry. also bc i think that’s the most realistic version of transformation it hurts like a bitch bc i mean your tail literally splits to form two legs- well mochi patches shion up agAIN and they finally talk n exchange names bc my merfolk have diff vocal chords in ther mer form bc they commumicate like whales underwater. tho they can just. speak human language too in their human form for some reason. i mean they understand it bc they watch n listen to humans talk but i haven’t figured out why they can SPEAK it if they lile never do. anyways that’s small enough of a plot hole :) so yeah that’s basically where i’m at in my writing.

i still need to make them fall in love and do more things together and god what else but. i hope i’ll manage somehow bc this is gonna be longer than my usual works aj dgk gkfjsj i mean i’m already at 3.5k and they barely know each other. guess they’ll have to fall for each other quickly idk

but yeah. that ramble is a lot longer than planned n i already shortened it- well. i hope you enjoy merfolk aus as much as i do bc you’ll probs get more rambles abt them while i continue writing lol

and hello to you elys my love !!! so true best friend, I MISS WHEN WE USE TO TALK ALL THE TIME </3333 ig both of our tokyrev hyperfixation have kinda died down for a second- but glad urs is back!!! i might try and get back into it but my bandom hyperfixation just keeps eating me up more and more like help 😭😭

OH FRENCH!! THATZ SO FUCKIN RAD DUDE but yeah go you!!! thatz fuckin sick!

whales :3 oooh! im not too much into fantasy aus tbf but that sounds cool!! YEAHHH GIVE IT UP FOR MOSHION (their shipname is so cutie patootie.....) but yes as you should ngl they are so blorbo scrimbli i need to write for them so fucking bad my god

oh my god you literal beast WHAT damn bro already sounds like he wants to be part of your world /j im sorry i had to. but true i could mochi as being loaded ngl

eeeeeee im so excited for this !!! it sounds good i cant wait for u to finish it. but istg if u randomly turn this into an angst i will fIGHT you

Moshions’ Turahirwa case goes to prosecution

The court file for Moses Turahirwa, the creator of Moshions, a well-known fashion brand in Rwanda, was handed over to the prosecution on May 2 for alleged drug addiction and document falsification. After RIB disclosed that it was looking into the fashion designer for possible document forgery, Turahirwa was detained on April 27. According to Thierry Murangira, a RIB spokesperson, Turahirwa was detained on forgery-related charges. The suspect claimed that his passport was issued with his desired gender of "female" after posting a photo of it online. After tests by the Rwanda Forensic Laboratory revealed that Turahirwa used cannabis, drug abuse was added to the list of crimes against which he is charged. Investigations will continue while he is temporarily jailed after his summons. According to the findings of the Rwanda Forensic Laboratory, he is also accused of using cannabis, Murangira stated. The fashion designer stated last month that, despite the fact that cannabis use is still prohibited, whether for medical or recreational reasons, he was permitted to consume the drug in public settings, even on the streets. He was also in the news in January as a result of a social media video that appeared to show him engaging in an intimate deed with other guys. Read the full article

Ncuti Gatwa in his stylish BAFTA Awards wear by Rawandan designer Moshions. From Brittish Vogue:

Gatwa, who plays Eric in the horny high-school Netflix drama, has been thinking about his red-carpet look: his take on a classic tuxedo designed by Rwandan brand Moshions. “I knew I wanted to champion an unknown designer and an African designer, so Moshions was the perfect fit,” Gatwa tells British Vogue prior to the (virtual) awards ceremony. “It was important for me to rep Rwanda and to bring a great Black designer to the fore.”

His other criteria? “I told my stylist [Felicity Kay] that I needed to look regal – naturally, it’s my first BAFTAs!” he laughs. The black Moshions suit is accented with a blue and orange sash, with intricate geometric beading emblematic of Rwandan artisanship. As designer Turahirwa explains, “Moshions designs outfits that represent both Ncuti’s suave personality and his Rwandan roots. The meticulous bead motifs were applied by hand, and reference the geometric beadwork from the ’30s. The colourful drape was traditionally worn by royals at grand ceremonies – like Ncuti at the BAFTAs.”

Rwanda (Slanted Special Issue)⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ A Slanted special issue that presents outstanding personalities and many good stories in addition to "design eye-candy" from Rwanda⁣ ⁣ Plastic bags? Forbidden since 2004. Environmental management is decentralized from the political to the local level, leading to a widespread understanding of how to preserve the environment. On the last Saturday of the month, for example, every citizen is obliged to tidy up the streets. Beginning in 2019, no more used clothing from the West may be imported to Rwanda—a ban that could create around 25,000 new jobs, and encourage the flourishing of the country's textile industry.⁣ ⁣ To see a developing country implement and carry out such legislations is ground-breaking. It goes to show—anything can be possible if the political will really exists and true efforts are made. ⁣ ⁣ It is this creative spirit that's embraced in this special issue.⁣ ⁣ Featuring: Maggie Andresen, Timothy Wandulu / Concept Arts Studio, Mihir Bhatt / Creative Communications Rwanda, Abdi Latif Dahir, Carolin Dürrenberg und Silke Philipps-Deters / descom – Designforum Rheinland-Pfalz, Pierra Ntayombya / Haute Baso, Katharina Hey, Matthew Rugamba / House of Tayo, Innocent Nkurunziza / Inema Arts Center, Umuhire MweneMuntu Isaac, Judith Kaine / Kurema Kureba Kwiga, Jacques Nkinzingabo / Kigali Center for Photography, Niyunkuru Canda & Manzi Jackson / Kuuru Art Space, Moses Turahirwa / Moshions, Lynn Harles, Michael Nieden / Partnerschaftsverein Rheinland-Pfalz – Ruanda, Nelson Niyakire, Guillaume Sardin, Chris Schwagga, Daniel Sommer, and The Economist⁣ ⁣ #GraphicDesign #Slanted #Design #PlasticBags #Rwanda #textile #creativespirit https://www.instagram.com/p/B94FHzcndgo/?igshid=9am13sfb16r5

Camille Cadere and her story part one

      As the gentle breeze pickles up the rich orange fall leaves, one stays with the wind and flutters through the crisp air. Wind takes this leaf to a homey, worn house at the edge of a bright and warm town. The leaf lands gently on the second floor window of a dimly lit room. A tiny seventeen-year-old-girl in bed, her face to the pillow and cover pulled over her body. Above her bed elegantly hangs a sign reading “Camille Cadere” in long curly letters. 

     The morning call comes from down stairs “Cammie breakfast is done, i made bacon and pancakes.” A strong but warm and caring voice calls out. Camille rolls in bed before sitting up and rearranging her sun red, flowing hair into a ponytail starting at the middle of her head. As her hands move in quick sharp moshions the little redhead stands up and gathers her long, well worn,to big, water-resistant jacket. She starts to leave the room but looks to the mirror next to the door and into the emerald eyes staring back.

     The little legs struggle down the stairs touching step after step the redhead stops as the long, sharp pain hits her right leg sending it up her spine. A tall and smiling lady stands in the kitchen taking a tray of warm, equally cooked bacon out of a new shining oven. Camille’s mouth slowly forms a soft smile as she leans on the wooden doorway watching her mother happily work away. A man of the same high as the lady closes the fridge and hands the lady more eggs as he holds her waist with his other hand.

    The smile on the redhead's face fades and twists into a scowl as her legs take her into the room with her noticeable limp. 

   “Cami, good you're up” the lady turns to look at Camille after taking the eggs and stuffing them in the old blue bowl to her left. The tall scruffy man gives a small glare to the little girl. The green eyed girl rolls her eyes at him and definitely huffs. 

   “Camille!, what did I tell you about acting like this.” The lady's voice sturn but motherly.

   “You told me to stop” she shifts her weight as she speaks.

    “So why haven’t you?” The man chimes in his brown eyes looking at Camille’s eyes.

      With a huff and one more eye roll “I was going to but then I remembered I don’t care what you and your toy want.” The pancakes start to send off smoke as they cook, grabbing the attention of the lady as she quickly takes them off the hot burner.  Silence falls on the room as the two adults exchange looks. The quiet gives Camille an unsettled feeling, she lends back on the door frame taking pressure off her right leg. 

   “Murphy, can you step outside for a minute.”

    “Ok kayla.” The man ,having a little scruff on his face, scratches his chin and sets outside.

   “I have tried talking to you, I have tried disciplining you, I even convinced Murphy to talk to you” Kayla takes the pancakes off the pan and places them onto a shiny plate matching the boll.

    “but nothing works, nothing will work because you don’t even want to try.” 

Reddish orange strands of hair rest over parts of Camille’s face as she listens to the lecture her mother must have spent all night preparing.

    “Camille, I know you loved working on old machines  yet you gave that up, just tell me what else you are giving up so i can just cut to the chase.” The words come out cold, serving the warm glow from the window, hands fly to cover her mouth but she said it can never be taken back.

    It feels as if the redheads world came crashing down for the second time. The words hit her and stick to her skin. Pancakes sit on the plate untucked and the bacon lays on the other plate. The savory smell warm, inviting but those things were not meant for her. The little girl puts one foot back before turning and running as the aching heat fills her heart. 

   “Camille wait!” Kayal cries out running to the door but Camille is already out of sight.

   Ren, brown, and orange leafs carry thought constant gentle breeze. They fall onto the shoreline as the small redhead watches the sea and cradles herself in her arms. Floods of tears flow down her face polling on her swollen leg and wetting her face making her eyes swollen, puffy. The soft cold breeze floats over her and passes as her hair goes with it.  Camille continues to cry with her knees to her chest, arms wrapped tight around them. 

    “Hey kiddo” a soft, gentle and carrying voice floats to her right ear. Lifting her head Camille looks to the voice and tears up more seeing it.

   “Dad?” her soft voice cracking up as she speaks, tears covering her face.

    “Why you so glum?”

    “I…how...are you here?” She crawls towards him at a quick pace. 

   “I am not here, I am dead.” 

    The blue eyed, clean shaven, happy man’s face starts to bleed from the eyes before dissolving in the wind. Wind hitting her face Camille sits watching the  breeze float off. Small is the photo that emerges from the red jacket pocket, the green eyes stare into the  folds, into all of it. Held back tears flow onto the worn photo filling in dried tear stains and making new ones.
