#12. Crafty Creations

[theinsanecrayonbox]

some lineup designs for the Bigger Body Critters that i'm intending to use

+ Savanna-the second Hoppy, the Hoppy i usually write about. typical 90s tomboy. her mother abandoned her shortly after she was born, her father left when she a few years old, then she was raised by her grandmother until she was 12/13 when her grandmother's dementia made her an unfit guardian, thus how she was sent to PlayCare + Julianna-the original Hoppy. she was a ballet dancer, before she and her family were in an accident on a ski trip. her parents died, and she was hurt badly enough to the point where they said she'd never dance again. becoming Hoppy gave her back her ability to dance

+ Crafty/Cathy-the Craftycorn who started making the friendship bracelets for the couples. i...don't have much more lore for her...because she might end up getting fridged... ^^; i also went with the "cloven hands" instead of solid hooves, so there'd be some finger dexterity still

+ DogDay-i decided that the Jeremey that was misplaced when he was to be adopted would be DogDay for my purposes. he had hope, he almost got out of there, but that chance was snatched away at the last second. (he may or may not remember that he was nearly adopted...i just used his adoptive surname) he's also with Cathy

+ CatNap-i like drawing spooky kittehs, so his design was a fun one. kept similar elements to the others, but exaggerated due to his early experiment designation, but also because of his own monstrous evolutions. he still gets a bit obsessed with Julianna, which leads to her death and Savanna's creation, thus why he hates Sava

idk if i'll have more of the Critters or not, we'll see. i started this to show the differences between Sava and Julianna, and then i just ran and had fun with it, made sure to scan it before i moved so i could render it at my leisure

[asamary]

In your au, were the critters human once before or just creations apart from the experiments?

They were humans. All of them were 6 to 12 years old.

The youngest being crafty and the oldest is bubba!

After they were turned into the critters, their old memories became blurry, So they barely remember any of their childhood.

Years past, and the prototype proceeded their plan.

They had to wait, because unlike the hour of joy of the original one, the prototype only wants the guilty.

All who had experimented on them.

So at the right time and date, and the right coworker to help them, they proceeded their hour of joy.

Their hour of freedom.

(In sweet home, i headcanon them being in their early to mid twenties. Angel is still in their early twenties)

Ps: ant wanted to draw, but they got art block, their just gonna draw it later.

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

The soundtrack to the movie that made absolutely no fucking sense!

TLDR; Bubba plays cards with a fish monster, Kickin is abducted by a witch, Crafty becomes a queen and Catnap fights greek gods.

With 12 hot new songs, Side A consisted of all the songs from the movie,

Magical Mystery Tour

(The Fool) On Melancholy Hill

Questionnare

Valhalla Calling

Burning Pile

Diggy Diggy Hole

I Am The Walrus

While Side B compiled both scrapped songs as well as side A from their current hit single "All You Need Is Lunch" and the double a-sided single "Strawberry Fields Forever/Holiday" along with two scrapped concept songs "Suffering/Different Beast"

Side B.

Holiday

Strawberry Fields Forever

Suffering

Different Beast

All You Need Is Lunch

Due to a surprising immense popularity of "Suffering/Different Beast" post release of Magical Mystery Tour, the songs were issued as a single as well as leading to the creation of the 1998 movie "Yellow Submarine Sandwich" which also featured both songs.

The sessions surrounding Magical Mystery Tour have been characterised by some biographers as aimless and unfocused, with the band members overly indulging in sound experimentation and exerting greater control over production.

However, despite the mixed reception of the Magical Mystery Tour film, the soundtrack was a critical and commercial success across the globe.

#Week 12 Update: Crafty Creations - Hand-made Jewelry and Accessories

Imagine Crafty Creations as a delicate dance. Each step, from creating a piece of jewelry to posting on social media, is choreographed with care. The rhythm of success is felt in the applause of positive customer feedback and the surge of holiday sales. Yet, even the most graceful dance faces missteps, like the occasional stumble of supply chain delays and the weight of high shipping costs. Through this dance, I've learned the importance of flexibility, the strength of resilience, and the beauty of creativity. Each lesson shapes a more harmonious performance, guiding Crafty Creations toward its grand finale.

JO Survey: What's the best thing about the fandom?

There were too many good answers in the questions with open answers in my Joker Out Survey, so below the cut are the answers to Question no. 12: What's the best thing about the fandom?

The fact that everyone has a common interest and each one of the members and each one of the songs gets so much love ❤️

how nice and respectful everyone is <3 and the memes of course, all the jokes have brought me so much joy

I love how everyone is so excited, how it's so positive (at least on Tumblr), and how everyone just wants the best for the guys. Also the really talented people who make gifs, as well as the incredible people behind JokerOutSubs. And many people having their fave member without bashing people who have a different favorite.

Unity and how I haven't seen toxicity yet

how energetic and helpful we are to each other

simply just the fans :,) such a lovely little community aaaa

All the unhunged expressions of cute aggression towards Bojan.

The wholesomeness

Markedly positive, feels like most people get along pretty well, at least in the Tumblr space

Everyone is super nice on the tumblr fandom and shares lots of content respectfully

We're all crazy and we're cool with that.

You're all unhinged but funny, love yoooou

The unity

The people. I met so many great people because of this band

Friends (:

The community feeling

Pure unrestrained glee to contribute to the community be it hornyposting, reporting important happenings/sightings, or providing fun facts/translations (i love jokeroutsubs team with all my heart❤️)

the memes

Kindness and open mind

Crafty little dorks (affectionate)

People are wild, talented and friendly

Everyone's so nice and respectful to each other (at least here on Tumblr). It also makes me very happy that I finally get to contribute in a fandom I'm a part of (member of joker.out.subs here :))) ). A mix of those two things: everyone is very encouraging of each other's fandom creations/content.

The tumblr fandom being so nice and considerate.💚

How understanding y'all were when Bojan deactivated insta. Like yeah. Glad we don't expect all this stuff from them

people who are chill on tumblr

Everything

The memes

How non judgemental and upbeat everyone seems to be

Passion and dedication <3

The gay, the art, the ✨pzazz ✨

The art :)

everyone is basically the same - we're all feral over their music and tHEM in general and no matter where you come from, who you are, who you're into, you can agree that they're all serving sooo much cunt and that they're all gorgeous

it's fun and friendly

How willing people are to open discussions and talk with each other

so many slej ppl

Everyone gets along

Im not sure

We seem to share the idea that this is an open and warm fandom. That makes me all fuzzy 🥰

How to convert an SVG file to an embroidery design

From Sketch to Stitch: A Comprehensive Guide to Converting SVGs into Embroidery Designs

The world of embroidery has gone digital! Gone are the days of meticulously tracing patterns onto fabric. Now, with the power of SVG files and clever software, you can transform your own unique designs into stunning embroidered masterpieces. But how do you bridge the gap between a simple vector graphic and a complex stitching pattern? Fear not, crafty friend! This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of converting an SVG file into an embroidery design, from software choices to stitch considerations and finishing touches. Before We Begin: Understanding SVGs and Embroidery Files SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are text-based descriptions of images, making them infinitely scalable and perfect for digital design. Embroidery files, on the other hand, contain specific instructions for your embroidery machine, including stitch types, colors, and placement. Common formats include DST, EXP, JEF, and PES. Step 1: Choosing the Right Software Several software options can help you convert your SVG. Consider these factors: Skill Level: Are you a beginner or an experienced digitizer? Some programs offer user-friendly interfaces, while others cater to advanced users. Budget: Free and paid options exist, each with varying features and capabilities. Compatibility: Ensure the software outputs embroidery files compatible with your machine. Here are some popular choices: Free: Inkscape: A free vector graphics editor with the Ink/Stitch plugin for basic embroidery conversion. Sewing & Embroidery Software (SERF): A free program with limited digitizing features but good for simple designs. Paid: Wilcom Embroidery Studio: Offers powerful tools for advanced digitizing and editing. Embrilliance Enthusiast: User-friendly software with various features and a good price point. Brother PE Design: Great for beginners with Brother embroidery machines. Step 2: Preparing Your SVG Simplify the design: Remove unnecessary details or intricate lines that might not translate well to embroidery. Optimize colors: Limit your color palette to what your machine can handle (usually 6-12 colors). Convert to paths: Ensure all elements in your SVG are outlines (paths) for proper stitching. Step 3: Importing and Converting Import your cleaned-up SVG into your chosen software. Follow the software's specific instructions for converting to an embroidery file. This typically involves: Choosing stitch types: Select appropriate stitches for different parts of your design (satin stitch for filling, backstitch for outlines, etc.). Setting stitch parameters: Adjust stitch density, length, and direction for desired effects. Color mapping: Assign thread colors to different parts of your design. Step 4: Digitizing Tweaks and Adjustments Preview and test: Most software allows you to preview your design on a virtual embroidery machine. Check for stitching issues and adjust paths or settings if needed. Refine stitch types and parameters: Experiment with different stitch combinations to achieve the desired look and texture. Consider thread types and colors: Choose thread that complements your fabric and design aesthetic. Step 5: Export and Embroider! Once you're happy with your design, export it in a file format compatible with your embroidery machine. Transfer the file to your machine and prepare your fabric and thread. It's finally time to see your creation come to life! Embroider your design, following your machine's instructions. Bonus Tips for Success: Start simple: Begin with basic shapes and designs to get comfortable with the conversion process. Practice digitizing: The more you experiment, the better you'll understand how different stitches and settings affect your final outcome. Join online communities: Connect with other embroidery enthusiasts for tips, advice, and inspiration. Don't be afraid to ask for help: If you get stuck, consult software manuals, online tutorials, or seek assistance from experienced digitizers. With a little practice and this guide as your compass, you'll be well on your way to transforming your SVG dreams into beautiful embroidered realities! Remember, the journey is just as rewarding as the destination, so have fun exploring the creative possibilities and enjoy the magic of bringing your digital designs to life, stitch by stitch.

🌍✨“God is the One who rules over all things and administers all things. He created all that there is, He administers all that there is, He rules over all that there is, and He provides for all that there is. This is the status of God, and it is His identity. For all things and all that there is, God’s true identity is the Creator and the Ruler of all of creation. Such is the identity possessed by God, and He is unique among all things. None of God’s creatures—whether they be among mankind or in the spiritual world—can use any means or excuse to impersonate or replace God’s identity and status, for there is only One, among all things, who is possessed of this identity, power, authority, and ability to rule over creation: our unique God Himself. He lives and moves among all things; He can rise to the highest place, above all things. He can humble Himself by becoming human, becoming one among those of flesh and blood, coming face-to-face with people and sharing weal and woe with them, while at the same time, He commands all that there is, deciding the fate of all that there is and in what direction it all moves. Moreover, He guides the fate of all mankind, and steers the direction of mankind. A God such as this should be worshiped, obeyed, and known by all living beings. Thus, regardless of which group or type among mankind you belong to, believing in God, following God, revering God, accepting His rule, and accepting His arrangements for your fate is the only choice—the necessary choice—for any person and for any living being.” —The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God Himself, the Unique X

John 12:47_48-Verse Meaning-Jesus'Judgmet in the Last Days  Today’s Verse The Lord Jesus said, “And if any man hear My words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejects Me, and receives not My words, has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”

John 12:47–48 Thoughts on Today's Verse… These verses tell us that instead of expressing words to do the work of judgment and purification of the last days, Jesus Christ was incarnated into the world to redeem mankind from sin, so that mankind could avoid being condemned and cursed by the law and enjoy God’s grace and blessings. Although we have been redeemed by Jesus Christ and forgiven of our sins, our sinful nature and satanic corrupt disposition are still deeply rooted in us. We are still bound by sin, so we frequently lie and deceive others and thus sin against the Lord, and we often reveal arrogance, conceit, selfishness and despicableness, deceit and craftiness, and other corrupt satanic dispositions. We live in a cycle of sinning and confessing with no ways to extricate ourselves. As a result, we often cannot obey God’s words. So, Jesus Christ will return to express all the truths that save mankind in the last days, and do the work of judgment to purify our sinful nature and change our satanic disposition, so that we will be cleansed and saved, and become people who fear God, obey God and love God, and be brought by God into His kingdom. From this, we can see that God’s expressing words to do the work of judgment in the last days is the most crucial work that allows mankind to be cleansed and saved. God says, “Though Jesus did much work among man, He only completed the redemption of all mankind and became man’s sin offering; He did not rid man of all his corrupt disposition. Fully saving man from the influence of Satan not only required Jesus to become the sin offering and bear the sins of man, but it also required God to do even greater work to rid man completely of his satanically corrupted disposition. And so, now that man has been forgiven of his sins, God has returned to the flesh to lead man into the new age, and begun the work of chastisement and judgment. This work has brought man into a higher realm. All those who submit under His dominion shall enjoy higher truth and receive greater blessings. They shall truly live in the light, and they shall gain the truth, the way, and the life.”

✨💖What Is the Meaning of Life That God Has Given Us Today? God has given us the breath of life, so that we can live and enjoy all that He has bestowed upon us. But do you know the meaning of life that God has given us? Is it for us to pursue wealth, fame, and material pleasures? Actually, it’s not. Keep reading, and you will find the answer. God says, “If one views life as an opportunity to experience the Creator’s sovereignty and come to know His authority, if one sees one’s life as a rare chance to perform one’s duty as a created human being and to complete one’s mission, then one will surely have the correct outlook on life, will surely live a life blessed and guided by the Creator, will surely walk in the light of the Creator, will surely know the Creator’s sovereignty, will surely come under His dominion, and surely become a witness to His miraculous deeds, a witness to His authority.” “However busily people bustle about in this world, however professionally accomplished they are, however happy their families are, however big their family is, however great their renown is—are they capable of embarking on the right path of human life? By chasing after fame and gain, the world, or their careers, are they capable of seeing the fact that God created all things in this world and reigns over the destiny of mankind? It is not possible, is it? If people do not acknowledge the fact that God reigns over the destiny of mankind, then, regardless of their particular pursuit or path, the path they walk is wrong. It is not the right path, but the crooked path, the path of evil. It does not matter if you have derived satisfaction from your spiritual support, or if you have not, and it does not matter where you find that support: It is not genuine faith, and it is not the right path for human life. What is it to have genuine faith? It is to embark on the right path of human life. What is the right path of human life? It is the path that enables people to understand the truth, that enables people’s humanity increasingly to become normal, and that enables them to understand what is good and what is evil, what things are positive and what things are negative, what mankind’s destiny is and who its Master is. When people truly understand that these things are in God’s hands, they are then able to submit to God’s sovereignty and orchestration, and live by God’s words. Only then are they able to embark on the correct path of human life.” https://reurl.cc/7kN635 https://reurl.cc/ZWgYAa

Event Info

WHUMPTOBER is a month-long, prompt-based creation challenge (think: Inktober, but whumpier). There are 31 Official themes this year - one for each day of the month - which can be used, skipped, or combined in any way you’d like. They are meant to serve as inspiration without being taken literally (e.g. you don't have to include the exact wording into your work). Additionally, there are 3 prompts for each theme.  These are optional suggestions and can be used in conjunction with the theme, or as options/alternatives.  We want to give everyone as much creative freedom as possible, as well as increase event accessibility for folks with triggers and squicks.

Creators can PRODUCE work in any media they choose, including but not limited to: writing, visual artwork, and photo/video/audio edits. Creators can PARTICIPATE as much or as little as they want (i.e. you don’t have to do ALL the prompts if you don’t want to) and prompts can be used in any order. They are also free to use even after the event ends.

When uploading Whumptober content to your blog, be sure to tag the with:

#whumptober2020 …..(the event tag)

#no.1, #no.2, #no.3, …..(theme number)

#bruised, #stabbed,  …..(the theme or specific prompt you chose)

#fandom or #OC

#medium …..(gifs, fic, podcast, art, etc.)

#teeth, #etc …..(trigger warnings & any additional tags. Keep in mind not to add “tw” in front but only use the word/trigger itself, because tumblr sucks)

#nsfw, #nsfwhump …..(only for nsfw content)

PLEASE BE DILIGENT WITH YOUR TAGGING. Only properly tagged posts are considered for archiving on the official @whumptober2020​ blog. They must be tagged in the order above.

Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of participants in recent years, we cannot guarantee your work will be archived. A random selection of properly tagged posts from all genres will be reblogged each day.

Whumpers who produce content for 31 total theme days are considered event completionists and will be tagged in a masterpost at the end of the month.

Questions not addressed below can be directed to this blog as well.

Thanks for reading, and happy whumping!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kind of content can I make? Can it be NSFW?

This is a MIXED MEDIA event! You can write fic, post meta, doodle or paint, create a gif set or photo edit, link a song, or get crafty with video - anything goes. As for NSFW, make what you like, we just hope that you’ll tag your work accordingly so that others participating in the event can stay safe :)

Q. Do I have to do all 31 Days? Can I post early/late?

Participate as much or little as you like, and post whenever! Just be sure to tag your posts properly (ex. #no.11, #psych101). Combining prompts into one piece of work is okay, and posting late is as well so as long as it’s in October.

Q. What if I don’t understand a theme?

Send us an ask! We’re happy to help clarify. That said, the themes are entirely up for interpretation :)

Q. Can I combine Whumptober with other creation challenges?

Absolutely! That’s like shooting two whumpees with one bullet :)

Q. Can I upload/repost my whumptober content to other social media platforms?

Of course! We’ve created an AO3 Collection to archive any fics posted there. The archive can be accessed here. The blog is the official archive, so please respect the boundaries of any closeted whumpers in your social circle :)

Q. Can I use prompts to write a new chapter for an existing fic?

Yes

Q. An existing fic I am currently writing contains many of the Whumptober prompts, can I use it?

If you are actively writing this fic at the moment with the whumptober prompts in mind, yes. If it just conveniently checks the boxes, then please don’t. You can, however, add new chapters answering one or more of the prompts.

Q. What kind of characters can I write for?

Fandom characters, OC characters, human, furry, alien, cyborg, whoever you like.

Q. Can I use a prompt multiple times?

Yes,  but it only counts once

Q. If I’m not comfortable with one day's prompts can I use a prompt of a different day as a substitute and still be a completionist?

Yes, but please do not use a specific prompt twice. We have also created an alternate prompts list that you can draw from [here].

Q. Where can I post my work?

Post where and how you want. You don’t even have to (cross)post it to Tumblr. Just keep in mind if it’s not on Tumblr we will not be able to add it to the blog archive.

Q. Can I start posting early?

You can, but this is an October event and wouldn’t it be more fun with everyone doing it at the same time? That being said, you can post early, but we won’t be reblogging any work predating October 1st.

Q. Do I have to finish a fic I started/can I post WIP’s.?

Yes you can post WIPs. And you’re not obligated to finish it in October for it to count towards being a completionist.  

Q. Is co-writing allowed?

Yes, absolutely, and it would count towards being a completionist for both/all of you :)

Q. Do I have to create 31 standalone pieces to be considered a completionist or can I write one continuous story?

One continuous story is fine.  The challenge is to write something for 31 prompts. If that’s spread over 31 fics or just one, you are still considered a completionist. (The same goes for every other media you choose.)

Q. Is there a min/max limit on word count?

There is no limit

Q. Can I combine prompts? Is there a limit on how many?

No limit and combine as many as you’d like.

Q. Is a hc/angst focus ok?

Of course!

Q. What’s considered nsfw?

See this post

Q. What's whump?

See this post

Q. My interpretation of the prompt isn't whumpy at all, does that count?

No, sorry, but keep in mind that whump [see definition] is something very nuanced and different for everyone and emotional whump/angst is just as much part of it, as is physical whump and torture. So before you dismiss your idea, think about this.

Q. Can I start working on the prompts before October?

Absolutely! That’s why we posted the prompts a month in advance. We recognise how difficult it can be creating for 31 days in “real time”.

Q. How do I tag triggers?

tw at the end of the word, ex. emeto tw

Q. Do I have to use your tags?

Yes, if you want your work archived on the blog. If not, feel free to use whatever tags you want.  

Q. Does combining prompts count towards completion?

Yes

Q. Can we @ you?

Yes but we mostly rely on the whumptober2020 tag

Q. Is there anything we are absolutely not allowed to write?

There are no rules, just be sure to properly tag your trigger warnings. And keep in mind Tumblr’s policies if you are posting it here (or the policies of whatever site you use).

Q. Where can I go for brainstorming help?

Here on Discord

Q. My characters are minors, is that ok?

Yes, but as with everything else, tags are your best friend.

Q. Can I cross post on other blogs?

Yes, multiple platforms and blogs are perfectly acceptable. You can also post different works to different accounts under different names, without posting them everywhere at once.

Note: This is a creation challenge, please don’t repost your old work under our tags (unless it’s been changed or edited for the event).

Theatre of Darkness || The Echoes of Paradise: An Ode to Timeless Love

"Every song is an ode to a timeless love. Every note is an ode to the past. Every smile is a memory of joy and the human ego. The world is a song. What's yours?"

"We're the heroes of the previous era. We've fought tooth and nail to make the world what it is... And now, it's your turn. The road ahead will be rough, and grueling. But I believe in you... so believe in yourself too."

*Sign-Up is different this time around! Send in an OC, and just sit back and wait! The "Egoist" will assign your OC a slot based on one of her 12 companions or one of the 5 future era based on a very strict set of criteria! AKA... their vibes. You are, as always, allowed to ask more about a specific role you're interested in... and maybe the Egoist will consider YOU for the honor :) [of course if you're dead set on an a tier role I will be more than happy to just give it to you! So yeah there's that, but pleaseee ask about the roles I want an excuse to talk about my blorbos pleaseeeee]

Echoes of Paradise: An Ode to a Timeless Love

A Tier Costume | The Deliverer [ Croupier || @ask-croupiersop ] "He's the big boss, the best of the best... and quite the grumpy old man. We never learned his name, we only refer to him as the big boss or as the Deliverer~."

A Tier Costume | The Egoist [ Open ] "That's me~ Well, I guess that will be the past-era version of me... a sonnet of the past. But, from the Domain of Human Ego and Desire, the egoist will make its flawless return~"

A Tier Costume | The Visionary [ Heifu || @idv-ask-the-unknown ] [✓] "She follows a harsh and lone path outlined by her god... carrying the sins of the world upon her back, and executing with swift lightning strikes."

S Tier Costume | The Golden Diva [ Carmilla || @ask-idv-outcast || WOOO CARMILLA S TIER ARC LETS GOO ] [✓] "Eden... I've left her with a task only she alone can complete... it is a radiant destiny, yet a cold and lonely one. But... we will meet again, in a waltz amongst the stars."

A Tier Costume | The Creationist [ Open ] "Her creations outlive time and space itself. I've truly in awe of what she can do when she puts her mind to it. If it can be thought up, it can be created. This is the power of the Creationist."

A Tier Costume | The Mad King [ Phil || @voidproject ] "He demolishes everything in his path... like a plague. How funny!"

A Tier Costume | The Strategist [ Althea || @oletus-dryad ] "To plan and to strategize, that's what Tsukimi excels in the best. Blocking the past out and focusing on the present is how to secure the future... or so she says. What an old timer, haha."

A Tier Costume | The Savior [ Open ] "Fallen from grace, she works hard to prove herself. From a weapon of the Ascendant to an echo of the previous era, she's flown from the moon and back to reach the sun."

A Tier Costume | The Protector [ Open ] "In all my years as an echo... I must say, I've never seen someone so devoted as he. He feels like his existence is a sin against god, and by sacrificing his monstrous flesh is the only way to atone... oh Koro..."

A Tier Costume | The Uroboros [ Ellie || @the-oletus-parlor || Her canonical Theatre counterpart,,, mwahahahha! ] "If you live forever, and can never die... I wonder what you would do with all that free time? Dr. says that pondering on such questions is pointless, but I say otherwise!"

A Tier Costume | The Imaginative [ Open ] "Imagination and Creation are like sisters because you cannot have one without the other. They co-exist and often go hand in hand. Similarly, I always see inspiration from the imaginative's drawings in the creationist's work. Cute, no?"

A Tier Costume | The Balancer [ Beth || @ask-idv-baker ] "Life requires balance to function. Once the tragedy is over, and the previous era is finally done and gone... the balancer will appear. But, for now, this spot is empty... and so is the rest of this page!"

A Tier Costume | The Crafter [ Open ] "Crafty kitty, you've stolen my pink pen! Give it back!"

Echoes of Paradise: The Ballad of the New Desire

S Tier Costume | The Successor [ Rue | @voidproject ] "Hii~ Welcome to the Echoes of Paradise~ You've entered a new path, one left behind for you by the Previous Era. If you're hearing this... then you're officially our successor! Congrats~"

A Tier Costume | The Festering Desire [ Chiaki || temporarily on @hypnotic-melody || oh my gorsh PROMETHEUS real too!!! ] [✓] "It's okay... to resist is to delay. Come, become one with me. Let me bring you into my world. With my powers, you will finally rest easy."

A Tier Costume | The Hypnotist [ Open ] "Hmph. I don't like these guys, they're staring at me all weirdly!"

A Tier Costume | The Guiding Light [ Quinn || @idv-thespians || oh my gosh cloud arc real??? ] [✓] "...Gold, you're being dramatic."

A Tier Costume | The Butterfly Alter [ Seele || no blog || like Onyx where it's literally just too perfect to not put her here hnghhh ] "...The butterflies are restless. Something is wrong, Cloud."
