YOU'RE A LANE KINNIE OMGG ok so i need to ask you everything *clears throat and pulls out clipboard*

which lane are u playing as? what route with which li? what are your fave outifts so far etc etc 👁️👁️📝

Hi @a-cloud-for-dreams !

Thank you for asking! 😃

(This is gonna be a loooong answer so please bear with me)

*Mild SPOILERS*

I have like...3 saves for HS:R (might buy the extra slots someday). I like how the story could differ a lot depending on the choices you take and the paths you're on. I find that the decisions you make could affect your overall experience with HS:R, too.

I'm pursuing Greg in my first and third slot just to see how different the interactions would be between humanity vs no humanity path.

When it comes to MC, I use 3 different sprites for each saves. Most of them were based on anime or game characters I like.

How my MCs look in-game:

1. God's Voice (a.k.a. VoG)/Compassion (humanity) path

Name: Lane

Main LI: Greg

Her looks was inspired by Alice from "Alice Madness Returns". I was interested in the idea of her having some sympathy despite being cold and calculating most of the time. Just because she's quiet and reserved, it doesn't mean she's uncaring. This quote from American McGee really helped me "define" my MC's character in my first slot.

"She's not insane, nor is she uncaring. She's been shattered, yes, but she's working conscientiously to put the pieces back together."

- American McGee on Alice

I also used this video as a reference:

And this image as a cherry on top:

2. Devil's Whisper (a.k.a. WoD)/Compassion (humanity) path

Name: Lain

Main LI: undecided (Greg/Cain)

MC's appearance was based on Lain from "Serial Experiments Lain". I like how logical and cunning she is in WoD path. Her approach in life is much more ruthless but still sensible. She reminds me of Lain in episode 10 when she "misused" her power to do the right thing.

I found a fashion youtuber who made Lain-inspired outfit ideas. Check it out!

3. God's Voice (VoG)/No Compassion (no humanity) path

Name: Layne

Main LI: Greg

I took inspiration from Michiko Malandro, one of the main characters in the anime "Michiko to Hatchin". This time, I want to play as someone who knows what's right or wrong but not having enough empathy to fully understand it. Funny enough, I started this path out of....pettiness haha. I was curious about the kiss scene in the end of season 1 only to deal with the consequence in season 2 😭. I thought the kiss was done out of pity??

Someone on YT made a compilation of Michiko's outfits throughout the show. And yes, she's serving. 💅

When it comes to outfits, it's hard to pin down because I like most of them. But, I have a few that I frequently use.

Judging by how the story revolves around moving from one place to another to survive, I usually choose something more practical for her (not every outfit I've picked is the most practical, though).

Honorable Mention:

Ada Wong, is that youu???! 🤭

That's it. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Update:

I tried romancing Cain in my second slot only to get sidetracked by Greg, again 🫠. Not that I'm mad about it.

HI HI!! I don't know if you've answered this already but what was Enid's evolution of her hairstyles 👉🏽👈🏽🥺

ahhh ty for the question 🖤

to start- it's important to define how enid's hair normally sits:

post-wash, enid's curls can range anywhere from 2A-2C (depending on how she maintains its shape). this process took some time for her to master, esp. since she did not always have curly hair to begin with. for much of her early childhood, enid had straight hair. then, for whatever reason (genetics)- her hair texture changed. and she was not prepared for that sort of change- thus began enid's long standing relationship between her and her flat iron.

enid during her undergrad days at brooklyn college; picrew

one thing that did stay consistent for much of enid's life was how long her hair was. this was largely due to her parents, who refused to let her cut it past a certain point. at its longest, enid's hair extended down to her lower back. but it was damaged. breakage. split ends. her hair was fried.

enid during her 1L year at columbia; meiko

the big chop happened just before enid's first day at columbia. she knew she wouldn't be able to keep up with straightening it anymore- and honestly it was another f*ck you to her parents' wishes (along with the tattoo but they didn't know about that yet). cutting off all the dead ends- in more ways than one.

enid today; art cred: @oh-so-youre-a-nerd

eventually, enid's hair grew out. having more autonomy allowed her to try new styles- layers, a buzz cut, an impulse decision to try out bangs. what she's sporting now is a wolf cut- which she got after a hair stylist said it would suit her face.

😭😭 so...I've been gone from Tumblr for the past few days can someone explain what Thornecest is // like the context of it bc I'm lost

ajsksjwld it really only happened in the past 12 hours on my blog (check out thornecest tag on it) but basically.. the thornes from crimes of passion have something deeply wrong with them lmao specifically with kaspar/emika and vasili/sebastyan, and we finally started talking about it lol. the last ask on it was how i personally viewed these elements in context of crimes 2.
