Toko (?) wears Meta’s sundress jsk in what might be the beige velveteen x black ribbon colourway (see example image).

This is the closest match I could find, but the one worn in the photos looks more white or off-white to me, and i’m not sure that it is velveteen.

Pls add your thoughts below.

if you're so inclined, would you draw Adonis (or anyone from undead who catches your attention)? You're incredibly skilled at capturing character likeness, it's so cool to see your take on characters :)

Sorry for the delay in responding, I hope you like this little drawing I did of Adonis, it was the first time I drew him (it was a full body drawing but I ended up not really liking how it turned out), I intend to draw the other members of the undead when I have more time and when my health is better 💜💜 and I'm super happy that you liked my drawings, I put a lot of time and care into them, I hope I managed to make a drawing that matches Adonis

Chiyo wears Baby’s Novala Takemoto collab god save the lolita print skirt in black.

This photo is the same as the one featured in Baby’s recommended coordinates on their website, which I don’t normally use, but this one is better quality and from the model/ staff members’ own site.

Enstars goes some steps forwards, some steps backwards with how it integrates stereotypes into its characters, but the specific one that's been in my head for a while is one about Adonis.

Adonis is considered stoic, and has difficulty expressing himself. This can be from a stereotype of brown men considering them less emotional or less warm generally, or it can be from a stereotype of brown characters coming from harsh environments where positive expressions are frowned upon (and their privileged saviour gets to have the "honour" of teaching them about things like smiling and laughing.)

*Also, Adonis' difficulty with expressions is part of the "stoic protector" trope - although not inherently race-related, it can become racialized. This trope can and has been applied to characters from many backgrounds, however, differences in the application of this trope can be based in racist views. For instance, a stoic Black character may be considered more hostile than a stoic white character, even if they are written in exactly the same way.*

But the reason why this stereotype sticks out is because Adonis is also a character who uses Sign Language.

For people unfamiliar with Sign Language, an important part of signing is the use of facial expressions alongside signs. You might see people make "exaggerated" expressions while signing - this is to help with clarity and tone. It can be compared to changing your pitch when asking a question, or speaking in a high or low tone depending on who you're talking to. Expressions help clarify your meaning when signing.

In theory, Adonis might struggle with conveying himself in Sign Language because of problems related to facial expressions.

In practice, last I checked, there were no noted problems with Adonis' usage of Sign Language in-text.

For me, the reason why this sticks out is because once noticed, it makes his character seem a little flatter, with the other uses of stereotypes in his character adding to the damage. The implementation of Sign Language doesn't take Adonis' existing traits into account, such as how things like expressiveness or speaking and signing at the same time might be difficult for him. As a result, both Adonis' (lack of) expressions and his use of Sign Language don't seem to be the most well thought out.
