Part 1/5 of that damned jrsih yuri au look book I've been working on for three weeks straight now 🤞 (under the cut :3)

usagi

-what if scrooge mcduck were an insufferable lesbian mostly

-I remember back when i was drafting her i saw someone on twt refer to a character (idk who xd) as “femme prince” and it just stuck with me yknow???????

-so yeah anyways she loves suits. u could be doing your groceries and randomly find this renowned writer wearing the most annoyingly extra suit u have ever seen in ur life.

-and the very few times she is not wearing one (mostly when she is supposed to be chilling at home) she still dresses up like a rich man. as a fun fact, the outfit pictured above is inspired by smth usagi actually wears in the manga jdhsjdhshh

-if she ever wears a dress its only for an extremely formal event that isaka forced her to go to. And ofc it IS something too fancy

-pretty much her entire wardrobe is way too expensive….. and also its huge

-also she likes wearing heels bc she likes being taller than she already is (very much so…..) and she is surprisingly good at walking with them for someone who hates going outside

-her hair always looks the same bc she may not be lazy enough to put on full makeup and dress like she came out straight from a snobby men fashion show somewhere expensive every single day….. but she is too lazy to do her hair.

-killer bod somehow? and will make sure to use it against misakis ~composed japanese woman~ facade at any given opportunity :)

nowaki

-butchbutchbutcbhbutchbutchbutch

-keeping her close to canon :)

-very much into dark plain colors, mostly bc she likes keeping things simple when it comes to clothing. this accidentally makes her look a little bit more intimidating than she actually is tho ;p

-wears sweaters most of the time bc they are comfy and other stuff is a lil harder to find in her size xd

-on a related note, shes not much into shopping bc most stuff she tries fits weird one way or another, so her wardrobe is rather limited (ALTHOUGH hiro is working on expanding it a lil bit 🤞she often gifts her clothing on special occasions, and seems to be the only person who can actually pick stuff that fits her right :3)

-she is hugeeee as already implied xdxd very broad shouldered and fit and muscular (not exaggerated but its definitely there) and strong and and and……… i would even go as far as to keep the canon height (1.86 m if im not mistaken????). Naturally the difference between her and the average japanese woman (hell, even between her and other characters considered “tall” in this au) is waaaay more noticeable, so it draws even more attention

(-from here on i will be using nowaki as a reference to talk about a characters height…..)

-very neat when it comes to her work clothes, but likes to decorate her lab coat with pins and such bc her patients seem to like it :)

-also i dont remember if its ever stablished what happened to the flower shop job but id like to believe she gets to keep it, at least as a weekends thing or smth,, (nowaki seemed to enjoy it idk idk :”3)

-miyagi

-milf. Not in the “older woman with ginormous sex appeal” way, but because she literally looks like someones mom

-(actually, its not rare for people to take her for shinobus mother when they go out together, even if they dont look alike in the slightest jsjsjs this is a bit more comprehensible bc in this au they do have the ages to be mother and daughter (21 and 42), but booooy does shinobu get defensive about it…..)

-quite feminine, but still tries to remain comfortable most of the time (so mostly pants, loose blouses, etc etc)

-has a thing for patterns, specially florals, and specially very colorful or elaborated ones :)

-wears heels often (she likes them ✊)….. and wonders why her back hurts….

-shinobu likes to gift her jewelry :D her earrings remain the same tho bc it hurts to put them back on (i swear it does!!!!!)

-kinda skinny and just slightly taller than the average woman

-very short hair for easy maintenance mostly

-killer skincare routine, but mostly bc shinobu is a little annoying about her aging properly and shares with her a lot of her own stuff xd

asahina

-kind of old fashioned???? I mean most of the references i used seemed to be from like the 70s so ig….

-very feminine, but in a rich (isakas courtesy) church lady kind of way. So very long skirts, high-collared shirts or straight up turtlenecks, thighs….

-to this day isaka remains the only person to have ever seen her bare ankles in the past 20 (or so?) years

-very tall. To the point of not looking like a gremlin next to nowaki at least

-she is also very skinny tho, so in a way she does end up looking quite small in comparison xd

-the scar on her face is bc of the car accident (coughmurdersuicideattemptcough) as a child :) it is mostly hypertrophic scars from the glass and debris falling on her and some burnt skin too, and she cant feel or move that side of her face as much as normal (hence the ever lasting lack of expression…..). It doesn’t look as obvious as i made it seem tho, that was mostly to bring out the fact that its there xd I would love to make a more detailed post about it if only i could draw…….

-the exact same hair and extremely similar silhouette in every look is not a lack of creativity, but a show of how she always strives for consistency and balance and neatness (…..it may be a lack of creativity…..)

ijuuin

-“i have all the ideas very clear in my head” <- me when i lie

-ngl ijuuin was a bit tricky djdhsjhdjsgshs like i could imagine her in my head but not have a very clear concept until a while ago……

-ANYWAYS i recall ijuuin dressing quite classy every once in a while in the manga, so that was what i was going for here kinda?

-cant help but feel she looks a little old fashioned too but in my mind this is what cool asf looks like so idc

-ik she LOVES patterns. Everything colorful and elaborate… She also likes to experiment with them, clashing them together and such

-she goes out on her pajamas a lot more than she should. But puts on her pretentious trenchcoat (inspired by canon!!) to cover it so its okay 👍

-has very beautiful hair and will make sure everyone notices it(hence why she never puts it up even if she somehow styles it…)

-quite tall. not to the point of not looking ridiculous next to nowaki, but its a highlight

-also has the body of a greek goddess statue and yuu is very much obviously obsessed with it :)

It’s very interesting (read: confusing) how modern Cats designs have reacted to improvements in lighting technology, better ways to have dependably-colored spotlights, etc. by *reducing* the colors they use in some of the costumes? Like, designing with the color of their main song’s lights in mind… without considering how they will look without that light on them?

Example 1: Ann-Marie Craine as Jellylorum

Example 2: Jesse Chidera as Tugger

We miss you Annie, so so much 💘

I can't believe it's been a year. I miss you and I bet a lot of people do too. You gave this world your talent and kindness and it's just not fair you're gone. And you gave us Tess. You deserved to be loved for so much longer, to bring joy to other people's lives and to live this beautiful life. So I promise I'll do my best and I'll keep the fire you gave us by creating Tess burning. For as long as I could because you both deserve it. I miss you Annie and I miss your Tess.

I take great pains to gain their trust before they allow me to observe them in their nature, in their flimsy clothing — to select them with care, stimulate their senses with ancient tales, mold their minds to befit their surroundings and create an enchanting whole.

It's been 60 years since The Animals performed their first concert in the United States, their song "The House of the Rising Sun" beginning to top the American charts at the exact same time!! 🐾❤️✨️

Thought it would be fun to remake their Paramount Theatre poster, featuring a redraw of one of my favorite photos of the band! (inspiration under the cut) ✨️

Redraw!! 🐾✨️

A Character Analysis Post/Character Development Chronicle...?

In any case I wanna talk about Pearl, so here (Part 1 because I yap waaaay too much)

This has long been bouncing around my head, but I decided to finally sit down and type it out and ramble on about this - a look at Pearl as character, how she develops and blossoms into her own throughout the Jumi arc!

I've already written similar posts about Elazul and Blackpearl, and now writing this about Pearl, there is a pattern among the Jumi characters that things don't always seem what they appear to be at first glance. Prickly, troublemaker Elazul is actually someone who is easily concerned for others' wellbeing, and Blackpearl's initial insistence to go alone becomes a weakness for her as events unfold.

The same holds true for Pearl -

We're first introduced to Pearl in The Lost Princess - the scenario sets her up as a damsel in distress right off the bat, and both her description and character design adds to the image of quiet, shy maiden in need of protection.

When we finally do meet her in person, that image of her seems to definitely be true, meekly apologizing when Elazul starts scolding her.

And who can forget her little blush?

All together, Pearl's demeanor and character design gives off the image of someone you'd want to rescue and who does need rescuing - but that's not all she is, and if you take careful note of her appearances, the seemingly shy little Pearl is actually quite the determined individual.

When we meet her at the Tower of Leires to properly kickstart the Jumi Arc with The Looking Glass Tower quest, Pearl is wandering without Elazul again. However, this quest gives the first indication that Pearl's tendency to "think about things" isn't just to give her the charm of a ditzy airhead.

After an early appearance from Blackpearl and the scuffle with the guardian of the Room of Fate, Elazul arrives to take Pearl, and this is when Pearl shows the matter that had truly been bothering her -

She's not just someone who "gets lost in thought," - she's desperate to know more about who she is. She's outright begging Elazul here to let her stay on the chance she can finally grasp something about herself -

And that brings a degree of depth and seriousness to Pearl's character, from a seemingly ditzy princess to someone who's trying to find her identity in a world where she is so very vulnerable.

And Pearl KNOWS she's vulnerable, as can be seen in the post-Jewel Beast fight in this quest:

It's worth noting at this point in their relationship as a Knight and Guardian, Elazul and Pearl do have an element of toxic dependency in their partnership - Elazul is desperate not to lose Pearl, that would make him a failure of a knight. Pearl clings onto Elazul too, because she's actually well aware that without him, she was as good as dead, and as revealed here, she even had trepidations about Elazul finding other Jumi because she was so scared of being left behind and alone.

Taking into consideration the fact that Pearl pretty much was thrusted into existence with no real identity or memories of her own, she can't help but depend on Elazul - he was the one to find her and even gave her a name, so she has very real fears that if he abandons her, she has no one left. She doesn't quite have the reassurance yet that Elazul DOES genuinely care for her, since at this point, he's so focused on not losing her as a guardian he ends up being a little harsh.

But character growth does creep in over the course of events, and when we next meet Pearl in the lead-up to The Lucky Clover, she shows no sign of meekness to Elazul at all.

In fact she points out he was being unfair to her by making her stay put.

I forgot to mention this in my Elazul post, but he also shows one of his most tender moments once Pearl is out of earshot here (since she crashes at our place for a while):

I think The Looking Glass Tower is a turning point for both characters, and all because of our very nosey main protagonist lol. No, really - I think a major factor for these two Jumi learning to open up is our protagonist's presence, giving the two a trusted figure to confide in.

With Shiloh/Serafina now present in the mix, both Pearl and Elazul can begin to move away from their initial highly dependent behavior on each other. So here, we can see not only does Pearl stand up to Elazul's suggestion, we see here Elazul does truly mean well for Pearl and wanted her to have a stable life - he doesn't want her to just be shackled to him.

In any case, going back to Pearl - the quest after this, Cosmo, showcases for me just how far Pearl has gone since The Lost Princess:

For one thing, Pearl is speaking quite clearly with no hint of that meekness or hesitation, even face to face with Sandra.

And the crowning moment of all this is when Sandra tries to claim these two Jumis' cores, Pearl stands up for herself with this statement:

I find it very important that when Pearl acknowledged she still could not fulfill her guardian's duty to heal, she chose to fight instead, if that was what could help at that moment. And hey, it worked, Sandra was definitely spooked when Blackpearl popped up.

This situation does lead to some trouble with the fact that Blackpearl then refused to let Pearl go back with Elazul - but by now the seeds of character has bloomed within Pearl, and she is ready to take her own wishes and desires eve against her original persona, as can be seen in the next quest.

Since this post is already long and I might be hitting the image limit, I'll have to break this up into multiple posts whoops. So more yapping ahead!
