Sleek pastels for this antique outfit, pairing chic fuji (wisteria) black obi, with a romantic sandwaves-patterned kimono (probably depicting a karesansui Japanese "zen" garden)

Black Org!AU where everything is the same but the Hakuba family is one of the biggest sponsors behind the BO and subsequently are deeply integrated with the organization.
Saguru was sent out by his father to find out KID's identity and "take care of him". Since he's not in the Police force, Saguru won't be subjected to the same level of scrutiny: he'd able to access all existing and updated police records as detective while having the liberty to act on his own.
Well, like in Canon, he found Kaito out pretty fast. But he was curious as to what a 16 yo is doing risking his life for Pandora, he wanted to get to the root. But knowing the BO would immediately dispose of Kaito without further questioning, he held back from reporting KID's real identity.
Except... he slowly fall for this mischievous, kind-hearted, highly-intelligent classmate. Now Saguru is stuck in the in-between, making sure the BO doesn't find out Kaito's identity and making sure Kaito isn't getting too close to the truth/pandora.
But all is not as planned. On one heist, Snake managed to get too close; he's aiming at Kaito's heart. Without another option, Saguru shoot Snake first, killing him. He is now officially a defect. A traitor.
KID is confused. He could never phantom anyone so close to him getting so violent; much less the uptight, mild-manner, son-of-the-police-chief-superintendent Hakuba. Hakuba who always smiles at him softly after he teased Kaito to a bodily flush. He's frozen stocks-still in place and his hands trembles with fight-or-flight nervousness.
When Hakuba approached him, Kaito tumbled backwards, but he did not run. A hand reached up to touch Kaito's cheek and it's wet and sticky with blood from the close-range headshot. Yet it was gentle.
"You need to go. You don't see anything here, understand? Kid died tonight. He must be. Promise me he won't do another heist," Hakuba said. Kaito nodded shakily, not entirely registering what he was agreeing too. Hakuba seemed to noticed but it was good enough for him.
"What about you?" Kaito found himself asking instead of the other millions questions that swam his thoughts.
In the moonlight, the detective leaned down to steal a chaste kiss upon his cheek:
"I'm as good as dead, Kuroba."

There is so much amazing about this. It's an archeological museum in 530 BCE or so. Also, the exhibits are labeled in three languages. Also they apparently had replicas on display for some things, much like modern museums do.
Humanity has not really changed that much, and some of the ways in which we haven't changed are really good.

Positive Examples: Hades 2 (and Hades)
A little unusual positive post here, to signal that while realistic armor on women is always welcome, there are more ways to give female characters decent representation.
We’re trusting our regular readers to infer from the Saturday post that we don’t consider depiction of female characters in Hades games, no matter how stylized and impractical their costumes (or lack of thereof), among regular negative BABD material. And that’s because of a couple simple reasons.
The game as a whole is quite stylized and maximalistic in terms of character and costume design. Strict realism (aside from really good grasp on anatomy) is not what we’re expecting from images of those larger than life deities and demigods who express their domains via extravagant appearance.
Not all of the characters, regardless of gender, are engaged in direct combat. The dudebro-made false equivalence between Eve from Stellar Blade and Aphrodite in Hades 2 was especially baffling, considering there’s actual female protagonist in the latter, Melinoë.
But of course it’s harder to pretend outrage over the princess of Underworld fighting in a short dress than a love goddess handling you buffs while naked when you’re trying to make a vacuum-sealed suit and high heels on a futuristic soldier look reasonable.
Most importantly, Hades provides equal opportunity fanservice and it seems like sequel will keep delivering on that.
The first game’s memetic legacy is how popular it is among the bisexual and pansexual gamers, considering basically every character provides eye candy for somebody’s preference, and, depending on the way player leads him, Zagreus can finish the story while in a happy polyamorous relationship with a man and a woman (going platonic all around is also allowed).
Here’s a selection of male Hades & Hades 2 characters, often with their tits pecs out and generally glad to present as very approachable for people who are into men:
Shoutout for Hephaestus delivering myth-accurate disability rep AND having a big belly, which fans are already very happy about (the issue of somewhat lacking body diversity was brought up since the first game).
And of course there’s primordial god, Chaos, who encompasses all and none genders and uses they/them pronouns:
So yeah, we’re pretty cool with Hades.
As reader @relto replied to our previous post:
literally the point isnt even “never make a female character look sexy ever”, its “put your characters into outfits informed by their personality/circumstances/the setting theyre in”.
The mere concept of a sexy female character never offended us, it’s just shoving (very limited, cishet male gaze version of) sexyness onto fictional women in otherwise non-sexy setting that we’re criticizing, especially when it’s combat-oriented.
And Supergiant Games is pretty consistent (and surprisingly tasteful) about how horny everything and everyone in Hades is. Take notes from them, not from Creepy Marketing Guy.
