Any ideas on the Bad Boys reactions to MC dressing up for a date?
Horror isn't one for dressing up. He feels like putting nice clothes on him is like putting lipstick on a pig. But... he likes when you dress up. He really really likes it; he hovers near you, breathing heavily and intently staring at every detail. You're eye candy to him, and when you dress up you look even more sweet, colours and smells that make him the good kind of dizzy. He could stare for hours. He does stare for hours. He's fighting the urge to bite you - he's also fighting the urge to attack anyone who looks at you too long. This is HIS pretty little human, anyone who gawks is losing their eyes.
Dust is normally such a tough nut to crack reaction-wise. It's always hard to tell what he thinks of things. His reactions are entirely internal, as minute as minute can get; unless you're like Nightmare and can literally read his emotions, it's very hard to know what's going on in his head. That being said. When he sees that you dressed up for a date with him? He blushes very hard. He looks away, flustered, pulling his hood down over his face - for a moment there's a break in the seemingly endless clouds of his mood, and the sky is visible.
Although he acts like he's embarrassed, he really likes when you tease him about blushing. He doesn't always enjoy being so blank, so hard to read it drives away people he deeply cares for. It makes him feel better when you get little victories like that, moments where you 'broke' him; little reminders of how much he really loves you.
Killer, as mentioned in a previous ask, would delight in a partner who dresses up. He has a lot of fun putting together fashionable (slutty) outfits, and if you have something very nice for a date, he's absolutely going to coordinate with you. It's the perfect way to tell the world that you're together. Who needs bite marks? Give him a colour palette, some simple accessories, and half an hour. Everyone will see who you belong to.
Nightmare would love it. He might not say it aloud, but you'll see it in the way his eyelight rakes up and down your body and his voice gets significantly silkier. He sees you dressing up for a date as a high compliment; you thought about your date with him so much you decided to put in that extra effort. He doesn't get many gifts - all this is for him? You shouldn't have...
You'd expect him to want his partner to dress similarly to him. Though he does take great pleasure in you matching his refined tastes, he also just likes seeing you wear things that make you happy. Of course his beloved consort should wear whatever they please. You're his, and that makes you royalty. Royalty do what they like.

What I wanna see in the Young Avengers:
Kate: So you guys know how we have branding issues? Well, I’ve come up a slogan for all of us and matching costumes
Kamala: I’m not wearing purple and just because you and Cassie wear that color does not mean the rest of us have to.
America: I’m not screaming “Teenage Avengers Mutant humans.”
Kate: I had to be inclusive
Peter: technically since America, Kamala and I wear red and blue, the team colours should be those
Eli: And add white
Kate: Eli shush! We’re coordinating outfits
Cassie: I do not look good in red and blue, purple is my color
Kate: Yeah
Kamala: I recruited all of you so I should get the leading vote in this
Peter: I was a superhero in new york before all of you guys showed up
America: Yeah yeah, well I can open up jumppoints to other universes and I can ask the other young avengers what they think
Kate: That…That’s a great idea!
Cassie: I’m in
Peter and Kamala: Me too!
Meanwhile…
Carol: It’s too quiet
Clint: Finally, some peace and quiet
Sam: Where are the kids?
Clint: Last I saw Kate, she was asking Cassie about team colours
Carol: Oh yeah, Kamala mentioned it to me last week, I’m sure the kids are fine
Dr Strange opening up a portal: They’ve just travelled to other universe, the tracker I put in America’s jacket says they’re on Earth 1999
Carol: Damnit! I’ll tell Valkyrie that our dinner plans are cancelled
Yelena kicking the door in: Kate Bishop did what‽!
Sam: Aren’t you supposed to be on a mission?
Yelena: And?

Ghoulette Appreciation Week 7
Also, a little Valentine's Day fic! 💕
back on schedule, babyyy
Week 7: “Can’t you see how much I love you”/love confessions & makeovers/dressing up
The annual Valentine's Day costume ball is coming up at the Abbey, and Aurora can't wait to attend in matching costumes with Mist. One small issue: she has to ask her first.
Rating: T Content: Fluff, Mistrora being cute and in love, allusions to sexual themes Words: 2002
This one got out of hand quite quickly! Happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate! 💕
Read below or on AO3!
At the Abbey, the annual Valentine’s Day costume ball was coming up. Because what said “Satan-worshipping-church” like a debauched disco on a Saint’s memorial day? At these parties, the ghouls and humans intermingled freely, and nights often ended in more than just intermingling. For the ghouls, it was also a night of freedom from their masks, all the more appreciated by the newer ghouls with their oppressive helmets.
Aurora couldn’t wait. This was her first Valentine’s costume ball topside, and if it was anything like the other parties she had been to topside, it would be a blast. From the minute it was announced, she had been thinking of what her costume should be. Halloween had been incredible, everyone dressed some kind of spooky or sexy, or both. Aurora had matched costumes with the other touring ghoulettes Cirrus and Cumulus, going as The Plastics from Mean Girls.
Aurora wasn’t sure if she wanted to continue her chick-flick move theme for this party. She wasn’t even sure what she wanted to go as. What she did know, is that she wanted to coordinate with her girlfriend, Mist. Was that even the correct word, Aurora wondered to herself? They weren’t mated yet, but they were… something. The humans had more words than they could possibly need for these situations, Aurora could surely borrow some.
There was one slight issue with this plan, however. Mist famously did not attend costume parties at the Abbey. Aurora figured her best chance at going with Mist was to come up with a costume concept the older ghoulette couldn’t resist.
This was going to be a challenge: Aurora’s aesthetic and media preferences didn’t exactly align with Mist’s. While she would happily go as anything pink, princess-y, or otherwise hyperfeminine with a 2000s movie influence, Mist was quite the opposite. She was more into dark colours, androgenous styles and fantasy novels. Aurora was sure there had to be some crossover to explore though.
Putting aside her initial dream of matching Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper costumes, she tried to think closer to what Mist would choose. Certainly nothing involving a dress or a skirt, she knew the thought of wearing them made Mist’s skin crawl. What about a knight? Heroic, Big Sword, rescue the Princess from a big tower? Aurora wasn’t the sort of Princess that would need rescuing though.
“What about dragons?” she mused aloud to Sunshine one evening, watching the multi ghoulette crouched on the floor sewing sequins onto a pair of intricate butterfly wings.
“I think Swiss and Phantom are doing dragons…” Sunshine hummed, almost cross-eyed with concentration, “something about dragon and dragon rider.”
Aurora rolled her eyes and mimed gagging, as Sunshine looked up from her work to snicker at her reaction.
“Yeah, you might want to steer clear of them all night. Swiss gets a bit carried away on Valentine’s.”
Aurora flopped backwards onto Sunshine’s bed with a huff, “What are you going as? Maybe I can convince Mist to do a ghoulette group costume?”
Sunshine proudly held her wings aloft, “I’m a butterfly, and Mountain’s going as a caterpillar! He’s still got about fifty pom-pom feet to sew to his outfit before the party.”
“They look amazing Sunny!” Aurora looked on with envy. At this rate she was going to end up going as a lonely cat without a date.
“Why don’t you just ask Mist to go to the party with you, Rory? She might have an idea for your costumes.”
“Maybe…” Aurora rolled onto her front to face Sunshine properly, “How should I ask her?”
Sunshine sighed, setting her wings to the side and moving to sit next to Aurora. In times like these she really felt like a big sister to the newest ghoulette.
“The same way you asked her to be your girlfriend, petal. But maybe with less references to movies she hasn’t seen.” Sunshine tossed an arm around Aurora’s shoulders as best she could in their awkward position on the edge of the bed, “Besides, there’s no way she’d say no, Mist is so head over heels for you that Satan Himself could see it from the pit!”
Aurora hoped she was right.
Later that day, Aurora steeled herself to ask Mist to go to the Valentine’s ball together. She found Mist where she often was when she didn’t have duties, sat reading on the stone bench next to a small, secluded pond. Mist looked up when she heard footsteps approaching, and seeing her wide smile as Aurora approached made her heart stutter in her chest.
“Hi Moonflower, I thought I’d find you here.” Aurora sat down next to Mist, the pair instinctually shuffling as close together as possible, pressed to each other like magnets; shoulder to hip to ankle.
“Hello Sweet Thing, come to keep me company?” Mist set her book down to snake an arm around Aurora’s waist and press a kiss to the corner of her lips, seeking permission to deepen the kiss. Aurora giggles against her lips, happily losing herself in Mist’s embrace.
When they eventually broke apart for air, Aurora remembered why she had some come find Mist in the first place.
“So…” she started, trying her best to sound casual, “are you going to the Valentine’s ball?”
“Why do you ask?” smirked Mist, “are you inviting me?”
Aurora forgot what she was going to say, not expecting Mist to see straight through to what she was asking so quickly. She was flustered, stuttering out some sounds that could possibly have been interpreted as a “yes”. No one else could manage that quite like Mist.
“So, what are you going as then?” asked Mist, reaching out to play with a piece of hair behind Aurora’s ear.
“I’m not sure yet, I was hoping you might have an idea actually. I want us to go as something we both like.”
“I’ll be happy in anything, as long as you’re there.” Mist cooed in her ear, “I’d turn up with nothing but my unglamoured fins, if that was what you wanted.” Her cool and delicate fingers traced over Aurora’s neck, where gills would be if she had any, and Aurora gave in to the carnal distraction of Mist’s smooth tongue and fingertips. The costume party didn’t seem so important anymore.
Stuck polishing the wooden pews in the chapel the next day, Aurora thought more on Mist’s comment. Unglamoured fins. Creatures of the Sea. She started formulating a story in her head. She could still be a princess, but how about a mermaid princess, with the alluring voice of a siren. Mist often called her my sweet siren after all. Mist could be a beautiful pirate queen trying to pillage the mermaid’s lands, but ending up beguiled by her song convinced to go adventuring upon the high seas together.
Mist would hopefully like the costume too, a blouse loose enough around her gills, not an overly “girly” costume, but still badass. Rory lost herself in her daydream, fleshing out her perfect Halloween costume idea and backstory, until she realised that she has been polishing the same armrest for ten minutes.
This idea seemed perfect for them; dressing for a story no one but them knew. They’d tried to keep their relationship a secret for so long, even though they later learned that they hadn’t been in the least bit subtle, and their respective packs had seen through them near instantly.
She dropped by Mist’s pack dorm on the way back to her own quarters, to suggest her idea. If she’d been surprised by Mist’s enthusiasm to accompany her to the ball, she was even more astounded by her interest in the costume. Mist had all but begged to make her own, and to keep them a surprise from each other until the night of the party.
For the rest of the week leading up to the party, she spent her spare evenings in Sunshine’s room, joining her on the floor to sew sequins onto her own costume. Sunshine was predictably now making Mountain’s costume for him, attaching fist-sized pom-poms to a green zip-up hoodie. She had asked Cirrus and Cumulus if they wanted to join their crafting sessions, but they had claimed their own costumes, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch, were already finished.
Little did Aurora know, that Mist had already enlisted the air ghoulettes to help her with her own costume, showing her how to stitch frills and ruffles to the cuffs of a blouse, and embellish the rest of her outfit in a way befitting of a pirate queen.
The evening of the Valentine’s day ball finally arrived, and Aurora was buzzing with anticipation as she waited for Mist to knock on the dormitory door. She had insisted on coming by before the party to collect Aurora. Eventually, there were three sharp raps on the door, and Aurora had to force herself to count to ten before she threw it open.
"Ahoy! I be here t’ collect me Princess!” Mist grinned widely, flourishing a plastic cutlass bedazzled with crystals. Aurora looked at her outfit in wonder; Mist looked ferociously beautiful. The delicate linen fabric of her blouse rippled in the breeze from the hallway, showing off the numerous gold swirls stitched along the frilly cuffs. The cut of her tight leather pants was enough to make Aurora’s mouth water, her long legs emphasized by the tall boots she was wearing, also decorated with rhinestones and gold. But nothing quite compared to the costume jewellery she was practically dripping in; body chains, hooped earrings, hammered metal arm cuffs. She looked every inch the terrifying pirate queen she was meant to be.
“Mist…” Aurora whispered, in awe, “you look incredible!” Mist broke character to blush at the praise, full of compliments of her own for Aurora’s sparkling bodice and mermaid “tail”.
Their tender moment in the doorway was interrupted by the boisterous entrance of a sparsely-clothed dragon and his equally underdressed rider, off to join the other ghouls that were pre-gaming in the kitchen.
“Woah Mist, you look awesome!” hollered Swiss, clearly already in the party spirit. Mist straightened her spine, and glared mock-haughtily at the multi-ghoul,
“'Tis yer Royal ‘ighness Cap'n Mist t' ye, ye rum-soaked scalawag!” she leered at him with a dangerous grin. Swiss looked like he was torn between being terrified and turned on, but was saved from having to justify either reaction by Phantom dragging him away to the kitchen. When the door closed behind them, leaving both ghoulettes alone in the entrance hall of the dorm again, they collapsed into each other’s arms in peals of laughter.
“His face Mist! You’ve given the poor guy a pirate crisis!” Aurora managed to catch her breath just enough to talk between fits of giggles.
“It’s not him I feel sorry for, think about Phantom!” they both promptly dissolved into laughter again. “Poor Bug…” mused Aurora, as she dragged Mist by the hand to her room, before they had to leave for the party proper in the Abbey’s main hall.
“You really do look amazing, Waterlily.” Aurora smiled at her as her bedroom door swung closed behind them.
“So do you, my Songbird, you’re always the most beautiful thing in every room, but tonight you look exquisite.”
Aurora pulled her onto the bed and into a kiss. They had time for a brief distraction while the other ghouls drained their liquor supplies.
“I can’t believe you went to all this effort!” pulling away, Aurora ran her hand down Mist’s arm to admire the little details of her outfit. “I didn’t even think you would want to go at all!”
“Can you still not see it?” asked Mist, raising Aurora’s chin with the tip of one long finger, “This is for you. Everything is always for you. I’d do anything just for one more smile from your beautiful lips.” She brushed across them, soft and gently parted, with her thumb. “Can’t you see how much I love you?”

MARAUDERS GIRLS HCS!!
lily evans is a vegetarian; the idea of eating something that once lived makes her feel sick.
mary macdonald always wears colour coordinated outfits, there’s always that perfectly equal amount of colour and the colours always go together perfectly.
marlene mckinnon is a bedtime procrastinator, she rarely goes to bed on time.
mary 100% does pre-shower makeup and has been walked on multiple times whilst doing so (she tries to hide in the bathroom but marlene has a weak ass bladder so sometimes barges their way in lmao).
mary is the worst for education related procrastination (so real).
dorcas meadows has a variety of hair beads and will always match them with her outfits. bonus: marlene finds the way her beaded braids sway mesmerising.
lily loves pink but hates pink clothes.
mary is aromantic. she thought crushes were just people you randomly selected and has way too much fun pretending to romantically like people whom she actually just thinks are fit.
lily is demiromantic and has never understood hallway crushes
dorcas is partially deaf and is fluent in sign language (she wears pretty green hearing aids).
in third year, pandora actually frequents the hospital wing more than remus. it’s mostly because of all her experiments. progressively, the visits lessen as her experiments grow more and more successful (doesn’t stay that way..)
firm believer that pandora was a conspiracy theorist and disliked the usage of wands because she thought they were made to limit power. she began learning wandless magic in her free time.
lily was fucking powerful and a brilliant witch, but struggled heavily with the cultural aspects of the wizarding world because she was muggleborn. therefore, she started a casual tutor session for first year muggleborns so that they could get to grips with this new world and all it’s practices.
she/they marlene mckinnon supremacy!!
pandora was a ravenclaw and i refuse to accept the hc that she was a slytherin, it doesn’t fit with my idea of her character.
pandora is incredibly unorganised so dorcas made her a lil schedule <3. for the larger part, it was to help, but it was also for dorcas’ sanity.
adding onto that, ocd!dorcas. i feel like she’s so passionately against blood supremacy that she sometimes has intrusive thoughts in relation to it. plus, she loves the tidy and perfectly planned lifestyle because it gives her a sense of control and balance. marlene’s chaotic, careless personality was actually a massive factor in their whole enemies to lovers thing but she actually ended up being a big support for dorcas because they were always willing to help ease her irrational worries and fears.

Since I'm also obsessed with the mob au if you are in the mood for prompts, how about something like "I specifically remember telling you that was a bad idea" with dealers choice for the pairing/characters involved 👀👀👀
sorry it took a bit, had to do some brainstorming @mr-iskender
and im a sucker for some fluff, can't think of any in the angst department atm
"I told you this was a bad idea." Linus said as he attempts to rub glitter off Jeremy's face. "I shouldn't have opened it in the car, now the seats are all ruined..." Jeremy pouts. "I'm sorry Ully." Linus gave him a fond grin, "At least now you know not to start a prank war with Marchy. And better the car than Krej's bar area, I don't feel like knowing how many ways he can kill us with a barspoon." Jeremy hums in agreement. "Close your eyes and hold still, there's glitter on your eyelids." Linus cleans Jeremy's eyes gently yet thoroughly. He looks good with glittery lashes. Maybe next time there's an event at the Garden he could suggest wearing sparkly eyeliner or eyeshadow. Gold in colour. Yes, gold on Jeremy to his own silver. He's sure Jeremy would be happy to do it. For now though, let's focus on getting rid of this fucking glitter.
Well it's short af and my dialogue writing is rusty at best. But I hope you like that short soft moment between the chaos that is the Bruins Mob :D
Bonus: next event's coordinated outfits but add eyeliner/eyeshadow

Gelnek Goes to a Gala
More Dan Jones & Dragons art! This time their glorious Double Leader, Gelnek (played by the inimitable JoCat) all fancied up in his best Goblin party-attire.
More Flower Crowns Gala Outfits: Morenthal
Design talk under the cut:
Unlike with Morenthal’s outfit (which was mostly drawn from Dan and Gamb’s official stream design) I thought it would be a fun challenge to take the chaos of JoCat’s Gala outfit brief for Gelnek (a large fluffy fur coat and stacked tower of Cowboy, Pork-pie and Trilby hats) and try to render out something fashion-adjacent.
Figure-wise, I wanted to push the broadness of Gelnek’s build and body-shape, since Jo introduced him as being atypically bulked-up for a Goblin (to the point that he sometimes gets almost-mistaken for an odd-looking Dwarf) and charging Hobson down like small green boar during their first training spar.  I thought it would be fun to lean into him being a stocky bundle of muscle compared to how Goblins are typically drawn. 
For the coat, I liked the idea of taking men’s fashion-furs and giving him a long-cut trench-style coat with a big fur ruff around the collar.  Really fluff the guy up with an impressive “beast-coat” that makes him look even bulkier.
Gelnek’s under-coat situation wasn’t described, so I went with a close-fit black two-piece since I figured that could help emphasise his actual silhouette without being too visually busy, and might make some fun strong shapes if I wanted to draw him in more dynamic situations later.  I also gave him a few sash-belts with some of his hunt-trophies pinned on (the Voidcrystal Snail-eye, a Wyvern Tooth from their fight on the Javelin and Trilby’s gifted Dragon-Scale button), just to keep the under-outfit from getting too conventional.
Hat wise, there’s not much that can be done to rein in the “putting a hat on a hat” effect of the Trilby on Porkpie on Cowboy tower, so I just tidied them up a little with some nice complementary colours and bands that coordinated with the rest of the ensemble.  The Cowboy brim and long coat combo ended up giving him some strong gunslinger energy, which is kinda fun for a traveling war-bard.
For his hair, I wanted to neaten up his big mess of fluffy curls for the formal setting, without going the same slicked-back conventional-imperial-common route that Hobson and Morenthal were already sporting.  Since Gelnek’s birth-tribe come from a swampy region and places a lot of cultural importance on headwear, I thought it might be fitting to do him up with some neat protective braids.
Gelnek’s shoe situation was an interesting one since canonically he doesn’t wear them.  I didn’t want to deprive him of his quest for the perfect shoe, but also figured he would need something to avoid the standard “no shoes, no service” rule at formal events, so I ended up pulling inspiration from Across the Spiderverse and giving him some Pavitr Prabakar-style foot-wraps with a bit of fancy gold trim to match the sash and middle hat.
I also decided to rep’ his drum-shield, seeing as Gelnek ended up being allowed to bring it into the venue.  It’s barely visible in the final drawing but a good quarter of his thumbnail page was notes on how do drum-shield work?  In my head I see it as something like a kettledrum set inside a convex round-shield/Dhal that lets him beat the drumhead while keeping the shield between him and danger.  I also like the idea of him being able to play the shield part like a handpan.
Bonus look at his sketch layers because this man's hats and physicality fought me harder than he fights drakes:

When Georgina walks into The Golf Club café she sees Bunty immediately, seated at a table at the rear of the room. Also seated at the table is a younger woman wearing a preppy headband in her long dark hair that is colour-coordinated to her outfit. She and Bunty appear deep in conversation. There are a number of folders on the table between them. Georgina slowly crosses the room, her eyes narrowed.
“Oh, hello darling!” says Bunty. “I’d like to introduce you to Sophie. Sophie, this is my daughter Georgina!”
“It’s so lovely to meet you, Georgina!” says Sophie.  
“I didn’t know you were bringing a friend to lunch, Mother,” says Georgina.
“Please sit down, darling,” says Bunty.
Georgina sits, refusing to smile at Sophie who is beaming at her with disconcerting intensity.
“Sophie is actually here in her professional capacity,” says Bunty.
“Professional capacity?” says Georgina. Sophie nods energetically.
“Sophie is a wedding planner,” says Bunty. “One of the most sought-after in the entire district, I might add! She’s brought along her portfolio so you can see for yourself some of the amazing events she’s organised.”
“Your mother has told me so much about you, Georgina! “ says Sophie. “I can’t wait to meet Vincent as well, and to sit down with you both and listen to all the exciting ideas you have for your special day! I just know this is going to be the start of a truly unique and beautiful creative collaboration!”

I Am A Media Student And Will Therefore Overanalyze This Shot Pt1
Right I just want to talk about this shot here:
Tumblr media
From Transmission. 
So the first interesting thing here is their outfits - one of the most interesting things this series has been the antagonists' designs. Gabriel has always worn light colours, but before there was red too, like with Nathalie. Red is often used to connote danger and villainy, but there is now not a trace of the colour on Gabriel's outfit. The new outfit that he has designed for himself is entirely white, even his hair and glasses. White is often used in conjunction with purity and innocence, suggesting that Gabriel is trying to put forth an angelic image of himself - fitting, as he refuses to admit that Ladybug and Cat Noir aren't the cause of his problems, and continues to refute the idea that he's the bad guy in this situation. Nathalie, on the other hand, is very different. Her outfit is black with red, both colours typically associated with darkness and villainy respectively. We could otherwise see this as a very businesslike, coordinated, sophisticated style (typical business attire) with a streak (the literal red streak in her hair, the stripe on her glasses) of villainy, of vengeance, spite, malevolence, whatever word you want to use - either way, she's not making any attempt to hide it. She hasn't made any attempt to change this outfit at all, and the only addition in S5 is the back brace, aligning with the idea that she knows that she is the villain, and acknowledges the severity of her crimes. Even the lighting is significant - there are far more shadows on Nathalie and her side of the shot than Gabriel, who is almost haloed in this light. However, when you look at their eyes, you get a very different story. Gabriel's eyes are very, very dark, a sort of greyish-black, whereas Nathalie's are bright blue - which seems at odds with their design otherwise, and you'd expect them to be the other way around. However, this serves to emphasise the truth - the eyes are often described as being the windows to the soul, and eyes are commonly used in animation to tell us whether or not we are supposed to sympathise with a character (I can't find it now but I saw a post about Bruno from Encanto that summed this up perfectly). Blue eyes are normally associated with clarity, innocence or youth, here - which makes a stark contrast to everything else about Nathalie's design, and implies that there is more to her story than we know. Gabriel's eyes, however, are dark, and we can't quite tell what he's thinking. 
The next thing is the composition. Gabriel has just said the line, "I'm not a monster", but the shot makes it glaringly obvious who is in the right here. Nathalie is higher up than Gabriel, having a literal "moral" high ground. Both are looking at the other - Gabriel looking up, obviously, and Nathalie is quite literally "looking down" on Gabriel - just as she's looked down on his recent attempts to get the Miraculous, and his attempts to "be a better father" to Adrien. The light directly between them gives the idea of something separating them - that something being the heroes, who are the reason they were driven apart (Gabriel's obsession) but also are the reason that neither can betray the other (because of mutually assured destruction - neither can accuse the other without implicating themselves). However, Nathalie being the one closer to Adrien's room implies that she is blocking Gabriel's path or "guarding" the entrance to Adrien's room. 
Finally, the symmetry of the shot gives the impression that these are two characters who could easily have followed the others path. They're wearing similar clothes - high-necked shirts and blazers, both have glasses, and their hair is at a similar angle (if that makes any sense). Even their stances are similar here, which is significant as Nathalie usually stands slightly hunched over ever since the beginning of S4, when she started walking with the brace. (Edit: I've recently noticed that this is something that is present since S1.) This implies that both of them could have gone either way - Nathalie could have continued further and further in assisting Gabriel, either as Mayura or potentially (now that they have all the Miraculous) with another power, and continued to be the "monster" that she thinks she is. On the other hand, Gabriel could have realised that his actions were monstrous, rather than denying it, and put aside his battle with Ladybug and Cat Noir the way that Nathalie has. Either of them could easily have chosen a different path. 
Anyway, there's my over-analysis! I love this shot so much.

knowing almost nothing abt the comics industry I've no idea how likely this actually is, but; is it possible Hasbro hasn't granted the the license to do tf comics to anyone else bc they're setting up their own in house comics company (Hasbro having their own in house animation studio sets just enough precedent for this thought to refuse to stop haunting me)
Possible? In the literal sense, sure; Hasbro are a multibillion dollar entertainment behemouth, and there would be nothing stopping them from doing so.
Realistically? No chance, IMO.
American comic markets of the sort Transformers naturally occupy given the assumed demographics at play- the ~22 page monthly release that comic shops have a near-monopoly on- are infamously a money pit that is dying by slow agonizing degrees, and even if you are the most successful non-big two publisher (so not Marvel or DC) out there, all that means is that you aren't actively going broke. (Hey, did we all see the news about IDW, by the way?) The average "successful" monthly release American comic sells jack shit compared to other industries, tbh. Marvel, in the 80s and early 90s, could leverage an issue of X-Men into sales of literally millions with the right PR boost*. Now, in a post-superhero movie world where superheroes are the default mode of pop culture, they're lucky to hit 100,000. Very lucky. You're more often seeing even some of the biggest names getting 50k or less shifted a month. For a non-big two company, you're looking at under 30k for your biggest hit a lot of the time. The exceptions are notable largely for being exceptions. (Skybound, I'll note, has had a couple: Invincible is the most notable.)
(*well, OK, the 90s also had the speculator boom which eventually caused many issues later on, which accounts for part of this. but big name comics were still selling much better before that becomes a factor, and it does not account for all of it.)
To make breaking into an industry in these dire straits worth it, you have to be sure you can compete with the biggest (non big-two) players, because anything less is a huge amount of time and effort and coordination for scant profits at best and losses at worst. (Comics are a pain in the ass to produce, at least comics of that sort; any given issue will have at least a writer, an artist, a colourist and a letterer. Many will also have some or all of the following: an interiors artist doing just pencils, an inker, a dedicated colour flatter, a layout designer, backup artists and writers...) And. Well. Why would you? That's a bad deal! Plus, Hasbro would have to pump out quite a few series to make it worth it, and while they do theoretically have the IP to do so, they've never focused that much on comics and would be starting from the ground up for most of those franchises in an industry where again, "success" does not look like a lot of money. (And they haven't even pulled all their licenses from IDW; many of their IPs still sit happily with other publishers with no sign of that changing.)
The flipside to this is the place where American comics are doing much better; publishing graphic novels in bookstores, not monthly releases in comic book stores. But if you have a big, recognizable IP, the thing is, now suddenly the traditional publishing industry handles that. Sure, there are dedicated comics publishers in that sphere, but if you have a guaranteed winner of a pop culture franchise, HarperCollins and the like are interested. And there is no reason not to go with one of the big five conventional book publishers then, because they have SO much infrastructure in place that it would take you years to even begin to catch up... and you won't anyway, because that infrastructure exists because they publish so many books a year that they can sustain massive publishing empires that make publishing those graphic novels comparatively trivial, which no specialist publishing outfit can hope to reach at a smaller scale.
What it boils down to is: getting into the comics industry when you don't have to is a bad idea and everyone knows it. Outsourcing to the people already established is overwhelmingly the better option. If you're doing monthlies, anything else has a 99% chance of failing, and even if you manage it, you now have a ton of work and minimal profits. (Marvel doesn't make money on comics. It makes money on Literally Everything Else. Its IP makes money, it's just that Marvel's IP is historically generated through comics.) And if you wanna do graphic novels and you have recognisability already, book publishers are the obvious way to go.
Nah. They'll charge a publisher money for the license and then, if it goes tits up, all they've lost is the hypothetical profit that success would have given them, and at least they can still pocket their fee. Film and animation are different because they can bring in big money on a scale comics can't match.
As always, I recommend the Twine essay "The Problem With Comics" for a deep dive into the historical issues that caused this situation in the American comics industry.

How would the valar (elves too if you’ve got ideas) react to a reader who is super aesthetic? Like their style is perfect in both their fashion and well just life in general. I mean we’re all on tumblr... I think that means we all have a bit of ✨aesthetic✨ behind us lol.
This coordinates well with a most to least I did a while back. Calling us out for our 🌟aesthetic tendencies🌟 anon😂 we are all aesthetic in our own ways :)
Maintaining a pristine appearance and being well-groomed is important to these elves. They take the greatest pride in just looking pleasing to their eyes. Not a day passes where they don't spend hours picking out the best outfit and planning their hairstyle so they can look bedazzling. The fact that you also share this quality and dedication with them puts hearts in their eyes. They can dress with you and match your style and have no problem with what you wear because you're preen and pristine. Also, having the same level of dedication in your life to have it in order, helps their attractiveness towards you.
FEANOR, Maedhros, Maglor, CARANTHIR, CURUFIN, Fingolfin, FINGON, FINROD, EGALMOTH, ECTHELION, Elrohir
They enjoy your sense of fashion, some might be a bit odd with the mix and match of colour coordination, but it's pleasant to their eyes. Not going to complain about whether or not you have or don't have your life in an aesthetical glow because they aren't the type to overdramatize their life excessively. So long as you aren't untidy or unkept and your life isn't an entire mess of course. To them, it's not a big deal but it is impressive that you have the energy to keep your aesthetic life running every day without getting tired.
CELEGORM, Celebrimbor, Turgon, Angrod, Galdor, ROG, MAEGLIN, Elrond

Okay for your 2k event could I do the character paring (also I'm sorry if I make a mistake, this is my first time requesting something. )
I'm afab nonbinary who uses they/them pronouns. I am pretty short and plus size,and i do tend to dress very feminine even when I try to look more masculine. I tend to be very nervous at first when talking to someone but i will eventually start to open up. I'm goth and dress in a lot of black, but my favorite color is purple. I am currently going to college for a degree in studio art. I also tend to collect a lot of little trinkets and stuff like crystals, antiques, little jars, pins, books, and other things that catch my eye.
no mistakes at all this was perfect!!💚🩷 🔞minors dni🔞 send a request • masterlist • kofi link • tag: finnie2k (to follow or to block)

Ok, so! The matchmaker vibes were speaking to me, and I am going to guess this isn't who you thought you'd get paired with, but trust me. I'm cooking here, you need to let me cook!!
First of all, please. Short and plus size? You two are like beautiful peas in a pod. You're repping for the short round baddies, and while there will be so many fellow fat afabs (me included) who will be jealous of you for bagging the big boy of the hour, it just makes sense with you two.
Oswald has enough charisma and confidence for two people. So while you might be quiet at first, don't worry, he's got you covered. He can yak and yak and yak until you feel comfortable with opening up a bit more, and then he's the best listener there is.
Now, yes, favourite colour is purple, way to be obvious, Finnie BUT it's actually the goth vibes and the black that got me. He wears a lot of black too! So your outfits would always be perfectly coordinated. And the idea of you collecting little trinkets is killing me. You know YOU KNOW he'd take one look at your goth ass with your hoard of shiny things and immediately start calling you his sweet crow.
In fact, he might even be up for giving you your own wing (haha get it... wenk wenk) of the museum to showcase your collections. Just the kind of romantic gesture you'd expect from him.
Similarly, he'd be more than keen to display your art works. He's always a man who enjoys getting a portrait of himself done, and one by your hand would be the perfect decor for his office or his clubs or above his bed.

Tumblr media
Matsuoka, Akari. Her father, Taebin Matsuoka, plays a big role in the pharmaceutics of Japan running the very large corporation; PharMatsu. Her mother, Yuri Shinozaki, started off as a really small tech business owner that became much larger ShinoTech.
Akari’s grandparents arranged a marriage for her parents in order to merge the large companies and profit off the advancements in medicine they could create. They fell in love later on in their marriage and had Akari.
Akari is the only heir to the now merged company Matsuoka Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology; MPET.
“We are having dinner with one of your dad’s business partners tomorrow evening, they’ve become great friends and they are planning on discussing a really important business venture.” Yuri said to her daughter as they both sat on a large ivory coloured couch. They were both on the opposite ends of a large crocheted blanket with rows and patches or multiple different colours mixed along the length of it. They were both working on their respective ends, Akari working calmly with a dark blue and Yuri working fast with a bright yellow.
“Is this the same business partner that dad went on a trip with for two weeks and came back ‘rejuvenated’?” Akari asked, recalling the happier demeanor of her father she had never seen before after he came back from a business trip.
“Yes, Yoshio Ootori, we’re meeting his family this time, not just hearing of them through your father.” Yuri said with annoyance of her husband's actions.
“We?” Akari asked, glancing at her mother briefly pausing her hand movements. “I have to go too?”
“He says he wants you to be there to know how business should be conducted as the heir of the company. Apparently there is also a decision he wants you to make alongside him.” Yuri said, continuing to look down at the yarn in her hands.
“I just got into highschool. I thought he was waiting until I was older and ‘more mature’ or whatever.” Akari said, mimicking her fathers deep voice. Yuri laughed at her daughter’s impression and waited to speak again.
“Akari, do me this one favour tomorrow.” Yuri said, finally looking at her daughter. Akari stopped as well, worried about her mothers sudden seriousness. “If something you don’t like comes out of this, don’t react...irrationally.”
“You mean don’t throw a tantrum?” Akari said, her mood turning sour and going back to the blanket. “Are those dad’s words and you toning it down?”
“No, it’s me. Your dad doesn’t really realize how big of a deal this is for you.” Akari looked at her mom in concern. She realized it was more than just a business deal if her mother was asking this much of her.
Tumblr media
Akari was sitting in the back of the Ootori family's limousine messing with the lace on her dress as she worried about the dinner she was about to attend. The conversation with her mother had her more concerned than she could have been without it. She was assuming the worst situations and one of them stuck with her. She was getting married off.
Although she was sure that wasn’t the situation, she couldn’t wipe that idea from her mind. She was sitting in a pool of her own worry and dread. She was even starting to damn whatever higher power there was for placing her in a family of this class.
Akari was sitting on her own along the lengthed seat of the car while her parents sat in the back next to each other. She would look over at them and see the way they managed to coordinate their outfits in a way that was cheesy to her, but fascinating to the rest of the world. It made her think of her future, if this was a dinner that would lead to a marriage, would she turn out like her parents.
Akari sat and glanced at her own dress then her parents multiple times realizing how different she looked. She was sitting in a lavender blue, knee length dress. Her father wore a cream coloured suit with red accents. Her mother wore a dress with the same colours. And the more she thought about it, she realized she was never dressed similarly. Whether she chose the clothing or it was a maid or her mother, she looked differently.
“Hey sweetheart, are you okay?” Akari looked over at her father and gave him a blatantly fake smile.
“Of course, it’s not like I have any idea of why I'm here.” Akari said, moving her hair out of her face. Taebin sighed at his daughter's distaste and began to speak, but Akari beat him to it. “Or any idea of what we’re talking about tonight. So, of course I'm okay, dad.”
“Akari, there is no reason to get snippy with me.” Taebin said with a stern voice. A quiet sigh could be heard from Yuri. “You’ll find out when we get there, but until then I need you to wipe that look off your face.”
“Can you two please refrain from having an argument at least for today.” Yuri asked, exasperated. “We’re going to enjoy dinner and discuss what you need too. The only thing you should be arguing over is the deals you are going to make.” She finished, looking over at Akari to remind her what she asked her.
Akari and Taebin both sat back in their seats like scolded children. Both of them glared at eachother one last time before Yuri slapped the back of her husband's head and turned to Akari as if threatening to do the same.
Tumblr media
“Taebin! It’s so nice to see you again!” Yoshio Ootori said happily as the Mitsuokas stepped out of the sleek black vehicle. “I am so glad you agreed to bring your beautiful wife and daughter.”
“It’s great to see you again. I'm glad I was even able to get this one out of her room.” Taebin said with a chuckle as he wrapped an arm around his daughter's shoulders. Akari gave him her least uncomfortable smile.
“It is very nice to meet you Yuri, I’ve heard such great things about you. Your husband speaks very fondly of you.” Yoshio said to Yuri, making her smile warmly at his words. “Welcome inside, my family is happy to see you again.”
Akari looked at her mother in confusion at the way Yoshio ignored her almost entirely. Yuri wrapped her arm around Akari when her father walked ahead, following right behind his business partner.
“You’ll be fine, I just assumed they have a crush on eachother.” Yuri said, making Akari snort at the idea. Yuri smiled at her daughter as they walked behind the two men that were very happily catching up with each other.
As Yoshio showed off the grand entrance of his home, his wife, Tamiko, appeared from a hallway with a smile on her face. She greeted Taebin with a smile and hurried them along into their entertainment room. 
“Taebin, you never got to meet the entire family in one place. We managed to wrangle all of our children for one evening.” Tamiko said with a large smile at her children that stood up at the sight of the new guests.
Akari looked around at the Ootori’s watching as they greeted her father and mother. She smiled at the two oldest sons when they came over to shake her hand and proceeded to talk to her dad.
She noticed the way they were all dressed. Yoshio and Tamiko had found a way to wear the same colours, reminding Akari of her own parents. Tamiko had a very deep green dress and Yoshio had on the same coloured green. The oldest brother she had been introduced to, Yuuichi, has matched with his wife with a navy blue tie while she wore a similar coloured jumpsuit with a jacket. Fuyumi, their oldest and only daughter, wore a nude coloured dress and her husband wore a same coloured suit. Akito, their second oldest son, wore a tie and pocket square with the same green as his parents.
Then there was Kyoya, their youngest son. Akari had seen him around school before and heard of him through the girls that religiously went to his club to fawn over him. Once Akari had seen the colour of his suit, she did a double take. It was the exact same as her own. She felt a sinking feeling in her stomach for a moment until Fuyumi approached her with a large smile on her face.
“It’s so nice to meet you! That’s a beautiful dress. I’ve heard a lot about you from your father.” Fuyumi said, pulling Akari into a hug. Akari chuckled awkwardly and thanked her. They pulled away from the hug and her father carried her over to meet Kyoya.
“Akari, this is Kyoya. He goes to Ouran, just as you do, you’re in the same year.” Taebin said, introducing the two.
“It’s nice to meet you.” Akari said as she bowed to Kyoya. He gave her a smile and bowed to her as well. He stared at her dress and then his suit, looking just as confused as Akari felt.
Taebin chuckled at their awkwardness and walked away. Soon after, a maid walked in announcing that the table had been set and the food was ready to be served.
Tumblr media
Everyone was sat at the large dining table eating their food with a conversation flowing evenly throughout the room. Akari was sitting next to her mother and Fuyumi, across from Kyoya.
Akari felt as if everyone was staring at her whenever there would be a pause in the conversation. Then every once in a while she would see Fuyumi look over at her and then Kyoya, who was also looking at her every couple minutes.
The conversation then shifted to the companies and the air got noticeably thicker to Akari. She felt dread as her mind started racing. Her mother reached over to hold Akari’s hand when the desert was brought out, causing Akari to worry even more.
“It’s risky to merge the companies. The board needs solid reasoning besides money and income.” Akito said once the idea and details of merging came up. He said it in a ‘matter of fact’ tone but confusion displayed on his face.
“And we’ve already made a decision for that to be possible without the board.” Yoshio said, bringing his cup of tea up to his lips. Akari set down the fork she had been using to eat the small piece of cake placed in front of her. Her stomach was churning and the pure smell of sweets made her want to be sick. She placed both of her hands in her lap and gripped onto her mothers. Yuri gave her daughter's hand a squeeze of reassurance.
Akari looked up at Kyoya, who was watching her with a blank look. But she could tell he was confused. Or suspicious. She looked at the tea in her cup and reached to drink from it. The tea seemed to taste far more bitter to Akari than the first few sips she took of it.
Taebin cleared his throat, “Akari, Kyoya,” Akari felt her heart race. “We have planned for you two to get married once you graduate highschool.”
Akari felt like her heart dropped into hell as she looked over to her father who was already staring at her with a stern look. She looked over at her mother with wide eyes, who only gave her a sympathetic look.
“Excuse me?” Kyoya said, sounding almost offended. Akari looked over at Kyoya who’s eyebrows were furrowed in anger as he looked at her exclusively. Akari shrunk under his judgemental gaze, even if it was lessened by the glare on his glasses.
“When did you decide this?” Akari said, looking Yuri in the eyes as she pulled her hand out of her mothers.
“Three weeks ago.” Yoshio said, making everyone look over at him. “It’s decided and already in motion. This will be amazing for both of the companies and there will be no arguing over this.”
“So, you just decided something this big for what? Money?” Taebin looked at his daughter and sighed angrily at her words. Yuri glanced between her daughter and husband, trying to figure out how to defuse an argument that hadn't even started yet.
“Akari, this isn’t up for discussion.” Taebin said, his features hardening, “You'll both get along fine and you’ll see this is better for the businesses.” Akari glared at her father, him returning the look.  They sat there for a moment, staring angrily at each other until Akari realized she wasn't going against her father.
Akari would be fighting her father and Mr. Ootori. It was more than just a small decision. It could change lives, the lives of the people that worked with either companies and the lives of the people looking for medical care. It would change her life too, but it will do more good to others than for her to worry about her own. So she looked away and sunk back down into her chair. She quickly picked up her cup as her face heated up in embarrassment.
Kyoya glared at his father and then Akari. Akari’s mind ran a mile a second and felt like she melted into a puddle of regret because of the way Kyoya looked at her. She was starting to wonder how beneficial of a situation this actually was for her.
