Introducing! ELESA, the new kid on the block! She's a tiny bedraggled child from Sinnoh and not all that familiar with Galarian, the spoken language in Unova. (One day she'll be amazing. Right now though, she just wants to go play in the mud. And maybe get a better set of hearing aids.)
When not bitterly lonely, she’s scheming to run back to her old home. Or chasing the local patrat. Or watching nervously from the sidelines as other children play on the swings. Oh elesa.
(loosely inspired by @/noxstrages' incredible comics about elesa's origins! Ty for the food.)
Masterpost to my submas comics!

Kind of inspired by @uncheckedaggression and @tenderbittersweet
The summer heat is the worst it has ever been and it seems to all have been concentrated in the Council Rooms - even the stuffiest of the privy counsellors have shucked their usual robes and doublets for the lightest linen, some even stripped down to their undershirts and breeches alone with the lightest silk or linen over robe that could be gotten away with.
It is driving Henry mad and it is not the force of the heat nor the thick humid air. It is watching his Thomas. Oh, he is not as underdressed perhaps as some of the others and yet, yet Henry is hard put to not want to order everyone in the room to turn their eyes for him, for the vision that Thomas is should be for he and Anne alone.
His white undershirt, embroidered by Anne with a thread that is purple but does not look it, clings to their husband - a glimpse of his chest as the laces have been loosened on both over robe and undershirt.
Glimpses of curls in slightly damp hair, something that Thomas usually does not allow himself and Christ, Henry thinks, I should make it a royal command that he lets his hair grow out. His light breeches - those slim legs and hips that make Henry think of wrapping his arms about Tom’s waist as he was kissing Anne and Henry had watched.
He swears he’s going to have the woman who looked appreciatively when Thomas smiled that morning sent from court.
Men do still look at Anne and it still enrages Henry but at the least, he can make sure they understand that she is his but when it is Thomas, neither he nor Anne can. Neither of them can protect him fully. They cannot claim Thomas, so all Henry can do is watch as they try to take what will never be theirs.
With an effort Henry pulls his attention back to the business of the council, just to see Anne looking especially beautiful in her light gown and fuck, Henry thinks, looking at the way she looks, the way Thomas looks - two dark haired beauties - his star and his moon - the way the fabric clings to Anne’s form, her pretty breasts that he had kissed that morning, Thomas and his lean muscles and the soft curls that had brushed against Henry’s skin.
He cannot bear it.
-
“You really do not see it, do you? Your beauty - the way I would kill anyone who looked at you if I could. For you and Anne both”

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

This is still one of the dumbest fucking things in the mystic code book fkdjsfhsj </3
Boys can’t call the woman who raised them and for all intents and purposes is their mom “Mom?” Men can’t strive for peaceful negotiations over violence?
I’m giving Shirai the benefit of the doubt based on that final line that he was fighting against all of this in an industry that is heavily entrenched in maintaining these sexist stereotypes to help facilitate market segregation, but this is why my mind is always in a constant conflict of “Emma wearing skirts is a nuanced topic with how gendered clothing was another layer of the deceptively rigid and confining system that was Grace Field”
(Reading The Promised Neverland with a British/American Literature Scholar (2020) by Kei Toda, Chapter 3: Gender, translated by @1000sunnygo)
vs “protagonists of manga geared toward adolescent boys are by and large male, and ‘guys don’t wear dresses/skirts,’ so ofc Shounen Jump would have MC Emma wearing pants to fall in line with other SJ MCs”
All of this leaving me more open to Demizu and fancreators experimenting with different styles for her while never trusting TPN Committee for shit with their promo art with their propensity to put her in dresses and skirts despite the significance of the change in attire.

I’ve been working on visualising my fictional historical fashion and I will probably write out some outfit descriptions because then I can think about drawing them. Also I finally have an idea of what the layers look like and also what the surcoat is like.
Honestly still working on the masculine fashions but I will say that Thomas Cromwell is wearing green in this outfit description:
he wore a fine linen cream coloured shirt with green embroideries of ivy about the cuffs - and breeches of brown [doeskin?] tucked into black flat boots. A sleeveless [tunic?] of dark olive green with a [collar that goes up shirt collar that has round edges] was belted at the waist with a simple silver clasp fashioned in the likeness of a raven.
Anne!
the queen wore a kirtle of palest lilac, upon which had been embroidered ivy and flowers - over which she wore a dark purple surcoat lined with silver ribbons embroidered with silver swans - the sleeves of the surcoat had been slashed to the shoulders and upon the sides to the waist to show the kirtle beneath. Her girdle matched the silver ribbons and the buttons upon the surcoat were tiny swans. Beneath her crown, an embroidered white veil worked with swans, honeysuckle, acorns and poppies and her jewellery was all swans, stars, moons and suns.
