#definitely not a fan of this color scheme but I do like the outfit

Rating Rune Factory Wedding Dresses (Because I have some opinions)

Rune Factory (1)

10/10

I honestly think this dress is top tier in terms of design. The snowy white with pops of color, the scalloped flowy sleeves, the barely exposed shoulders, that lovely subtle headdress and veil, it's all so pretty and elegant to me. I believe it suits all the girls in RF1 beautifully, though I do feel like Tabatha (center) and Rosetta (right) are standouts~

Rune Factory 2

6/10

It's a very lovely design overall though I do think it creates a bit of an odd silhouette. There are still many elements to appreciate, like the lacey detailed edges and the bold but uncommon use of green. I also give them bonus points for containing a dress sprite of he/him character Ray (right) in the game's data (Trans RF character confirmed?) I think the dress best suits curvier girls like Yue (left) but it's also a real treat to finally see Dorothy's (center) lovely eyes~

Rune Factory Frontier

2/10

This dress really doesn't do it for me. I can tell they were going for more of a ceremonial robes vibe rather than a traditional wedding dress and from a distance it almost works but the outfit up close is just bulky and unflattering. Maybe if they fixed the headdress or gave the robe some really pretty accents or beading it could work, but as it is, it's probably the last thing I'd wanna be virtually married in. The one thing I do like is that it gives most of the girls a unique updo for their wedding day.

Rune Factory 3/RF3 Special

3/10

This used to be my least favorite RF wedding dress before that honor went to Frontier. The more I look at it, the more I realize that most of my disdain lies with the headdress and not the dress itself. The actual dress is fine, in fact there are some parts I really like, the sheer material on the upper arms for one, or the shawl, I just don't think it particularly looks like a wedding dress. That headdress though...oh boy, it looks like someone just glued a bunch of random sh*t they found to a headband and called it a day. It's just very cluttered and doesn't scream 'wedding' at all. If I have to pick a stand out it would probably be Raven (center) since her pose and hair color hide many of the design fails. Also Daria (right) because it seems like the sort of chaotic outfit she, herself would design.

Rune Factory Tides of Destiny/Oceans

5/10

This game didn't get the usual character portraits so the images aren't great, but my opinion on these dresses was very so-so, I definitely wouldn't call them ugly, and I do love the colors and rare use of a real bouquet, they just didn't seem to stand out all that much. Especially in terms of RF costumes. They seem a little bulky on the models but I honestly think they could have fixed that by just having character portraits. Not bad. Not great. Just middle of the road dresses. As standouts I'd pick Sonja and Electra (left and center). Their hair colors complement the dress and Electra is already suited to the poofy ballgown look anyway.

Rune Factory 4/RF4 Special

8/10

RF4's dress has a very ethereal, almost fairy-like look to it, which I personally find very gorgeous. It's pretty busy like many of the previous dresses, but unlike those, I feel like the elements here actually work together. The long flowy veil and blue rose accents are just beautiful, as is the detailed corset and neckpiece making up the torso. I'm not personally a huge fan of the flower petal looking design on the hips, but it does fit well with the whole aesthetic. As for standouts, It looks tailor made for Frey (left), but I definitely think taller, long haired girls like Dolce and Margaret (center and right) look amazing in it as well.

Rune Factory 5

9/10

I think this dress is beautiful as a whole, a bit more traditional and subdued than previous wedding outfits but personally I love it. The silhouette is flattering on everyone and the color scheme is unique among the other dresses by sticking with only warmer colors as opposed to the cool blues and greens of past games. I also love how the tint of the roses changes slightly depending on who's wearing the dress. All in all it reminds me a lot of the subtle elegance of RF1's dress and that makes it a win for me. For standouts I think Fukka's (center) complexion and hair go beautifully with the dresses colors. Ludmilla (right) also looks divine with the rosy aesthetic~

What's your favorite wedding look from the RF series? Who wore it best? Comment or tag if you feel like dishing some opinions of your own (Or just answer my poll ;)

OK so long story short the other day I was abusing the computers at my job to look up dragon ball characters and I came across THIS IMAGE of GOTEN that I found out was from DRAGON BALL AF which is a fan-made thing and idk . Dont worry about the details.

I thought it was soooo cool like put my chin in my hands and sigh lovingly. But also it was more of a rant-and-rave kind of adoration. Becasue I couodt beleieve how cool it was. Becasue here is why

Im super bad at deisgns or redesigns and sometimes I have epic ideas but if I don't then I don't. I think it would be stellar if we had a design for Goten & Trunks when they're older than GT and running the sword dojo. And I've tried to cook some up. But it vexes me for two reasons. First of all Dragon Ball deisgns when colored are gaudy and stupid looking. But also sometimes they use neutral colors. And they're eccentric and unique. And I try to mix all of these factors and the result Does Not Work. Becasue despite the plentiful love that I have for colors, I Do Not Understand Color Theory. Definitely not enough to push it to its limits like dragon ball does. My second problem is the actual clothes themselves. There is something wrong with me that makes it so that i eschew research like my life depends on it. I'm sure it's totally possible to gather a minimal understanding of what sorts of clothing / eras / disciplines certain dragon ball styles are based on, and to cross-reference that with what is actually depicted in dragonball, and come up with an outfit that gels. But I cannot do that. So yeah

This outfit featured here is so familiar yet unique enough to turn my head a bit. For an example. The yellow above his shoes. What is that. Don't answer that. I'm in love either way

THEY JUST ... PICKED TWO COLORS? That's it? THAT'S ALLOWED ????? Just TWO COLORS and only ONE of them isn't a dead-tone-neutral-non-color. Well I guess it's four colors, and still, only one (yellow) isn't a non-color (grey and white and black). I'M SO IMPRESSED !?!??!?!!??

The only idea that I had for post-GT Goten was FOR SOME REASON the visual flair of something long and sharply flowing off of him. Like a scarf, or a long sash, or a Dr Drakken style rattail. But I can't do all three. Becasue that's too much. But I like all three. So IDK what to do.

YEAH THEY WENT ON AHEAD AND GAVE HIM THIS SASH ON HIS HEAD. Sure. Go on ahead. Throw it on there. Looks good. Good contrast against his black hair. Makes it to you can draw his eyebrows over it and so he can emote clearly. SO GENIUS. So simple. I'm gobsmacked

HE'S COLORED LIKE A BUMBLE BEE ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!

My conclusion is that this is the best non-canon design of adult Goten that has ever been and we should all adopt it immediately from Dragon Ball AF. I am so stunned and impressed by the fact that he is wearing just grey and yellow. I have tried to break down all of Goten's canon outfits to find a pattern in the color schemes but I could not find one. But I can tell when it works for him or not and I don't understand how or why. I have at various points tried to design new outfits for him. I have experimented with yellow, teal, pink... Never really red because red only appears on two of his outfits in a minor way. More astutely because red is not really Him (like it is for Bura or Videl).

Definitely the most promising color I've found for him is Yellow. It's a sunshine-soulchild color. But I still haven't figured out how to practically incorporate it. For example, is it a predominate color or one of several? I've seen dragon ball outfits go either way. I definitely prefer the former becasue that's how I'm used to seeing it in my silly little western cartoons - every character has a color, don't they? And that's Their color. But this is dragon ball.

If you pull a warm yellow or pair it with orange, you are reminded of kid Goten and his orange gi. If you keep it colder or pair it with green, you get something reminding you of his EOZ "Goten Son" shirt. But what if you want something new? The next step in the evolution of Son Goten, but still unmistakably him? You would want to stay away from yellow and orange, becasue Trunks wears a lot of that himself. What about yellow and not a green bice, but a forest green? What about muddy non-colors? Dragon ball colors tend to be warm-shifted becasue it was the 90s, but you can work within that color range. But exactly HOW? What about yellow and pink? Teal? Aqua?? You can't use lavender (Trunks's color). And to be fair I have experimented with grey before, since he wears grey pants in DBS:SH. But I always tried to find other colors to shoehorn in there because I thought I had to. And what's really left...?

DRAGON BALL AF has the answers.

Yellow and GREY.

....THAT;S IT!!!!!!!!!!!

A mature grey. NO OTHER FLUFF.Just straight up. Yelloew and grey.

And he looks like a bumble bee. I love bumble bees. You love bumble bees. He loves bumble bees. We all love bumble bees.

I will close with a quote:

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860).

THIS DESIGN IS GENIUS.

Thank You ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mtmte headcanons for Rodimus, Drift, Tailgate(+ Cyclonus maybe?), Brainstorm with a gn reader? Like there’s going to be a party or ball or something. And they’re doing reader’s make up, hyping them up, among other things.

Feel free to add more bots or get rid of some of them, I know how hard writing can be sometimes soo :)

yayyy such a fun prompt. also...back to writing thank you for your patience anon. I had to exclude Brainstorm because I couldn't come up with anything for him, but he'd be so enthusiastic about helping you get ready for a ball :'(

[human!reader post includes: MTMTE rodimus, drift, and tailgate+cyclonus

None of these are going to be super super canon so bear with me. The Lost Light had made a stop at an organic-safe planet to pick up some supplies for you and explore around a little. However, everyone had to use their holo-forms as the planet was not very welcoming to cybertronians. You just so happen to read a poster of an upcoming party tonight and ask your robabe to help you get ready

MTMTE RODIMUS

Once you tell him about the event, he agrees to help you get ready and even asks if he could join you. I would be lying if I said he thought twice about it, he didn't.

The party is some kind of carnival taking place in the area you landed in, judging by the poster announcing it, it would be quite flashy and colorful. You go for some quick shopping at the local stores and Rodimus hands you anything you'll look good in (you get handed every article of clothing he likes, nothing matches btw)

you wanna try out outfits? He'll support every single one but gives his honest opinion when you ask for it, helping you decide on the final outfit

He helps you do your makeup and although you're the one doing most of the work, he's trying his best. So gentle while applying any makeup, he does not want to stab your eye or scratch you. Tends to get a little impatient but the results were so worth it, if you decide to go with colors that match his paint job he'll have a literal twinkle in his eye and a stupid grin on his face.

"How's that?" He backs away to stand beside you and admire his work. "Primus, you look really stunning."

HE IS YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!

Hyping you up the whole time. on his hands and knees. "Y/N your makeup looks amazing, that color looks so good on you, you're gonna kill it out there" He 100% suggests to roll down a red carpet for your entrance btw

MTMTE DRIFT

youre going to a ball and once you explain what that is, drift is thrilled to help you out

idk man..i feel like he'd be good at providing advice on what looks good together and what you should wear

he WANTS to help you do your hair, makeup, etc. he asked before you could finish your sentence

Another one that would adore any type of matching color scheme,. If there's some type of theme for the ball/party he's gonna help you and somehow nail that theme, like, perfectly

Smooths out your clothes, gently adjusts your hair, then gives you a little kiss because wow you're glowing (is that the right word?)

Definitely the type to take you there with linked arms

MTMTE TAILGATE+CYCLONUS

Tailgate wants to go, Cyclonus is automatically going btw. Tailgate wants matching outfits

Tailgate helps you with your hair, Cyclonus with your makeup, and they both help out with your outfit and any accessories.

Tailgate is absolutely gushing over you once you're ready, literally leaping up In the air and twirling!!

Cyclonus using that poetic rizz to call you beautiful, pretty, handsome, a wondrous depiction of existence at its zenith-

yeah you go with matching outfits. At the ball you manage to dance with the both of them, cyc more graceful and tailgate a little clumsy but you all got the hang of it. You all have fun

some extra bit, i think the idea of a ball/party would intrigue the two of them. Cyclonus would greatly admire the elegant part of it while Tailgate would absolutely come up with a bunch of themes and parties they could have on the lost light. Its def an excuse to help you get ready again btw, Cyc is totally discreetly in on it

if you’re making fan kids still can you do a bumbleberry x clotted cream one. I don’t care what they look like I just wanna see what you come up with :)!

I’ve gotten around to finishing her, this is Bumbleberry Jam Cookie

I was trying to figure out how to mix cream and berries, and so my brain was like “maybe a berry spread? Like jam?” and so I went with bumbleberry jam. Simple as that

Bumbleberry jam:

I’mma be real, I think she may have looked better in the sketch than the final product, but maybe that’s just me

I was going to have some yellow in her hair, but I was told that since jam doesn’t really have dairy, I should stick with just colors more like Bumbleberry, so I instead made her hair lighter and have a slight more of a yellow tone. I also gave her the green eyes to match Clotted Cream, though to be honest I think I made them too small. Maybe I’ll change that later

Similarly with the hair colors, I went with a color scheme closer to Bumbleberry’s, but with more of a red hue, like the jam. I also added in some yellow and styled it more after Clotted Cream’s outfit to reference him. I also styled her puffy shoulders after Light Cream. I admit, her outfit is definitely simpler than her parents’s, but I think it looks good

The cape was a last minute addition because I thought she needed some more width, but I didn’t think she needed a full one

Overall I think I quite like her. Maybe not one of my best but still good

Now onto her character

So I don’t know what kingdom she lives in, it could be either but I might be leaning more towards the Creme Republic. She’s very active in the political scene, trying to grow her status and make changes to the system to benefit more people

She’s very friendly and more extroverted, if not a bist ditzy on occasion, and her personality can make her come off like she doesn’t entirely know what she’s doing, so her political opponents can see her as an easy target, but also as a threat because people like her. However while she is genuine in wanting to help people, she is far more aware of political scheming around her than they think, and she will take whatever opportunity she can to ruthlessly decimate her opponents in whatever way it takes. She’s a little morally dubious

But yeah that’s Bumbleberry Jam, I hope you enjoy

All TMNT Shredder’s Revenge Color References - Miyamoto Usagi

Other Color Reference posts are linked at the bottom of this post.

Been playing Shredder’s Revenge recently due to the new dlc and since I haven’t seen much discussion in terms of references the new dlc, I decided to look into a lot of it myself. Feel free to give me any additional info/corrections you might know and I hope you enjoy checking this out.

Now is finally Miyamoto Usagi who I feel the least confident in whether I even made the correct guesses for these references. I haven’t read any of his comics before, only watched a bit of the Netflix show a while ago (which is set in what might as well be an entirely differently reality as the original) alongside the 1987 and 2003 crossover episodes. So I’m not even sure if half of these are references since a lot of the outfits just seem like a random robe color 10 nameless swordsmen have already worn.

So, if any Usagi Yojimbo fans see this, I would appreciate any help with references. Anyways, I tried my best to find out the references myself by skimming through the Usagi Yojimbo wiki by clicking through every character page with an associated picture, alongside skimming through a lot of the TMNT wiki.

# 1 - Default (1987 TMNT show) - I don’t know how much this is based on the 87 design vs his own comics, but it seems close enough to be the 87 design

# 2 - 1989 Playmates Toys Action Figure

# 3 - TMNT 2012? - Usagi’s color scheme and design in general doesn’t seem to change a whole ton between iterations, although 2012 specifically doesn’t seem to have black pants so I’m using that as the example. It doesn’t seem to unrealistic to say that this is his design from another TMNT incarnation.

# 4 - Chizu? - This outfit is for the Netflix series version of Chizu, although that isn’t the same person as the one from the comics. Chizu does seem quite significant to multiple Usagi stories though, as a morally conflicted antagonist/potential love interest for Usagi. Plus, she has appeared in multiple versions outside the comics such as the aforementioned Netflix series and a bit in the 2003 show.

Alternatively, maybe it’s a reference to Nakamura Koji, an amazing warrior Usagi’s met on his journeys. Given Chizu seems more relevant to Usagi’s stories however, I chose to focus on her, although Nakamura does seem to connect more closely visually and the amount listed on his wiki page implies he is also quite notable.

# 5 - 2003 TMNT Murakami Gennosuke? - Alternatively known simply as Gen, he seems to be one of the most recurring characters in Usagi Yojimbo who is a friend of Usagi. While normally he seems to don other clothing colors like purple, the 2003 version of Gen wore this outfit which looks the closest to this Usagi outfit out of anything I’ve seen. It also makes sense that he would get a reference out of any characters since he seems to be quite close to Usagi and is one of the most common characters in the comic. There also isn’t any purple outfits for Usagi, plus this is a TMNT game, so this white outfit Gen wore multiple times in a TMNT property seems likely to be the reference in the TMNT game.

# 6 - Kitsune? - Kitsune is a recurring friend of Usagi who according to the wiki, seems to be a Robin Hood type of ‘stealing from those who deserve it.’ She seems to wear a more so teal color for her clothes that’s the same for her whole outfit rather than this mix of green and green-tan, but I think there’s a chance it could be her.

Alternatively, maybe it’s Tokage, a small, green, dinosaur-like species that’s common enough to have appeared in multiple crossovers with Usagi. Both him and his Netflix descendent also get Tokage’s named Spot.

# 7 - Yamamoto Yukichi? - He’s a fellow wanderer like Usagi who seems to be currently sharing adventures with Usagi in the IDW comics. I do think his coloring is off compared to this outfit though (mainly the bottom half), but it’s definitely orange and he does seem like a notable enough character to get a reference.

Alternatively, it could be Inazuma She’s a woman with a high amount of skill, alongside someone who ended up possessed by the villain Jei. I’m not sure her orange outfit is even that common a wardrobe choice for her (especially when possessed by Jei) and even the orange outfit I’ve seen is only about as accurate as Yukichi’s.

Or maybe it’s Keiko who I wrote down as a possibility when doing notes, although she both seems to be visually the least likely and least important to Usagi’s story as a whole.

Edit: As bluberry-san mentioned in the comments, this may be a reference to Yumeji Kurokouchi, a character from the Samurai Showdown fighting game series. A lot of Usagi’s moves are references to characters in Samurai Showdown, so a color reference to one doesn’t seem impossible. The in-game sprite specifically for Yimeji does look the closest to anything else I found, with an orange-ish top and white bottom.

Usagi on the left, middle is Yukichi, right is Yumeji.

# 8 - Jei? - Jei is a major, recurring antagonist in the Usagi comics. Given that the Usagi wiki lists Jei as “Usagi’s true arch nemesis,” I think it’s likely he would’ve been referenced with a skin. He does seem to wear predominantly black which fits this color well.

Alternatively, it may be a reference to ninja’s in general in the Usagi comics. There’s 3 different Ninja clans within Usagi Yojimbo and from my memory of the 03 crossovers and looking it up online, all 3 seem to be recurring antagonist groups. There may be a specific ninja this references, but it appears that Ninja in general tend to be depicted with black attire (likely to aid in their sneakiness).

# 9 - Lady Mura? - I did see a Reddit comment describe this one as a reference to Gen. However, Lady Mura seems the most fitting visually given her clothing here is definitely a white upper half and a red lower half. Story wise however, she doesn’t seem incredibly significant given the synopsis on the wiki ends shortly with her death. Although I do want to add on for anyone interested, her story is based on a real person named Murasaki Shikibu who wrote “one of the world’s first novels” according to Wikipedia.

# 10 - Comics - Many of Usagi’s comics were initially printed in black-and-white which pairs well with the black-and-white TMNT skins. IIRC, he also has outright crossed over in the Mirage comics before.

# 11 - “Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo” - While it does look like an NES color, I think it’s actually a reference to this old PC game. The picture I nabbed online was from the Commodore 64 version.

# 12 - Gameboy - As far as I know, he doesn’t have any Gameboy games, but the pallet does seem to be based on the Gameboy.

Update: Forgot there was an Edo period set of stages added into Shredder’s Revenge with literal Usagi Yojimbo characters in the background. Will check out later to see if any of those stages seem to link to his colors.

Update 2: When I played a lot of Survival mode earlier, I saw 5 characters in there in the Edo period. 2 were characters I don’t think I even saw in my wiki research, 2 others I did somewhat recognize didn’t seem to share pallets with Usagi, then the 5th one I’m pretty sure is a human Hamato Yoshi from TMNT who I highly doubt the orange costume references (also in part because the lower half is different like many other potential candidates I found). I may do some further analysis of the stages later on, but I don’t think there’s much significant to add to this post.

wrath if subaru’s scarf is RED, not yellow

ok so like this is a very highly specific and Too Detailed and maybe just a Tad bit of a stretch of an analysis but like wrathbaru's scarf is canonically red in the if. but ALMOST EVERYONE makes it yellow in like fanart or other fan content a lot. which isnt a bad thing, i just think its funny because wrathbaru's scarf is like how disney's aurora has a dress that keeps switching between blue and red aljdslfj

but 1. i am a sucker for attention to detail AND im a nerd im so sorry 😭😭 and 2. i love character design a LOT and 3. this is the what if where color is HIGHLY important. and i think the scarf being red is more poignant than it being yellow.

ok to start off. heres what the text says:

OK COOL so we’ve established the scarf is 100% red. but why? whats the significance? i think this is due to several reasons.

we all know subaru’s signature colors, at least pre-arc 6, in that subaru’s main color palette has been black and yellow. yellow specifically is the main color we associate with him. so its like yes, of course a lot of people in fan content continue that color scheme even with wrath if subaru because his scarf is the one thing in his character design with color in it. BUT thats the whole point of the if—that wrathbaru cant see colors except for if he trusts (or “trusts”, depending on how you see it) a person. yellow is subaru’s main color. but the absence of yellow in wrathbaru’s design emphasizes that hes lost his sense of self (if yellow = current subaru as we know him). the absence of yellow implies that wrathbaru has lost trust in himself (since wrathbaru would DEFINITELY mention it if he saw himself in color). subaru doesnt even wear his normal color palette anymore. it’s been replaced with a color that he hasnt worn at all until this point—red.

(additionally, subaru shared that specific black and yellow color palette with one other person—satella, the person whos given him rbd. wrathbarus paranoia stops him from overusing rbd to the same extent as other versions of subaru. so you could say he kind of. Rejects. having that color palette anymore, in a sense. would wrathbaru even trust / "trust" satella? it's debatable.)

and we DO see main route subaru with a yellow scarf and also later in arc 6 onwards with more yellow outfits and most notably a yellow bandanna. but wrathbaru wears a scarf to hide the scars on his neck and continue minimizing the amount of skin he shows. mainbaru wears a scarf to keep warm during memory snow, and he later wears his bandanna mainly as an accessory and also to help in the desert. so his scarf and bandanna are yellow because That is the color that he favors in all his outfits, and its the color that best showcase who he is. he wears a very warm, almost orange-y yellow; it’s very bold but it's specifically a Welcoming color. red and pitch black, on the other hand, is a very harsh contrast—it’s also bold, but in a Violent way. especially with the obvious red = blood imagery that immediately comes to mind given wrathbaru's kill count.

^^ and for further consideration, tappei (and the official artist(s) for rezero, if its illustrated) Does change subarus outfit in ifs to further showcase how hes changed. theres greed if subaru’s black and white suit (and the similar monochrome and lack of color Emphasizes the drastic changes subaru has been through and loss of self) and, for the purposes of More comparison, sloth if subaru.

sloth if subaru's design here of course is. yes traditional japanese clothing. but like Clearly his outfit is meant to match 1. his son and 2. rem of course. like it's this purplish color to match all the purple rem wears, but also to contrast his black hair (cant have the outfit be black or his long hair is just gonna fade into it lajsdlf). it's softer than the bold black he wore before - it kind of shows he's mellowed out and matured from settling down and having a family. it's a comfortable and relaxed. it's a sort of casual outfit that fits him well and shows he has a healthy physique. he's pretty content for the most part and it shows in his design. unlike wrathbaru, who's drowning (hah... see what i did there...) in all the Stark Black of his clothing and the fact that of course he's drowning in it. his clothes don't fit right because he's so sickly. that, and he's hiding himself behind all the fabric (the significance of him using the scarf around his neck...).

so sloth if subarus outfit is meant to match rem. on the other hand, i think the biggest reason for the red scarf is that when it comes to wrath if subaru, he IS matching someone. by the end of the if, theres only one person left that he sees in color.

ram.

“bright red”… “scarlet red”… “blood red”…. wrathbaru’s neck is a mess of scars from when ram strangled him, and he covers it with his red scarf.

🎀Vector Holiday Head Canon's🎀

He LOVES halloween,

most years he goes trick or treating. If he were to hand out candy I feel like if they knocked at his door he'd be like "Trick" and steal kids candy 😭😭😭

He'd love couples costumes. He'd do god awful ones, Like ketchup and mustard - or peanut butter and jelly, or Velma and someone else from the mystery gang. (He'd wanna be Velma. He'd wear the skirt and everything.)

Sometimes he has goofy halloween costumes but occasionally he'd use a actually scary costume. He'd scare kids for fun during halloween.

I feel like he'd dress up as other villains for halloween especially big ones he looks up too. (He dressed up as Megamind once and put on a bald cap and everything.)

He'd decorate the outside of his fortress and his living room depending on the holiday.

During christmas he'd have a ton of lights, and little yard decorations. He'd also decorate his security system depending on the holiday. His lasers have christmas hats on them. His lasers are red and green so if you get laser-ed to death it would be festive colors 🎊!!!

He'd have celebratory music in his yard and around his fortress, depending on what holiday it is. It'd be loud and obnoxious. Everytime a neighbor steps outside they can hear jingle bells or kidnap mr sandy claws or something depending on the holiday and time.

He's definitely the type to buy cookies on Christmas, NOT for Santa, but for himself. The girls would think he's buying cookies for Santa but he's not. Even if Santa was real he wouldn't share with the guy. He'd be like "suck on this Santa" while he's eating the cookies😭

He might have specific outfits for different holidays.

During halloween he'd decorate a lot of jack-O-lanterns because they're orange (They're on brand.) He carves his Logo into them.

He wouldn't really celebrate Easter that much, he'd probably just buy Easter candy or draw. "The day that christ rose? Why do I care about Jesus"

He does the same thing he does to Santa to Jesus on easter.

He'd celebrate Yule, - He'd decorate with dried oranges.

He'd probably call his dad each holiday to wish him a good one. He'd also send his dad card and his dad would send him a gift or enclose money in the envelope even though they're both rich and don't need too😭.

He'd create robotic reindeer that attach to his flight machine. They probably also play christmas music, or make jingling noises when it flies. 😭 either that or he'd make a whole working Santa Sleigh-

He'd cosplay the grinch.

I feel like during different holidays he might scheme up some villain plan according to it. Like halloween he could steal some big halloween thing or decorations or he could steal kids candies 😭

he'd steal a 9ft tall giant skeleton from every yard he can find.

He'd be a big fan of The Grinch he'd probably aspire to be like him. He'd think he's a real villain. or was a real villain- I mean he stole from an entire town. When he watches any grinch movie he stops right after he gets all the gifts as he doesn't wanna watch the reformation scenes.

He'd wanna go and get a picture with mall Santa's. He'd wanna go sit in their lap despite being a full adult. He'd give them a list of things he wants.

"Okay, so, for Christmas this year, I want a new nuclear reactor, because my old one broke. And I want two pounds of uranium."

He thinks Thanksgiving is a bogus holiday, but he will use it as an excuse to eat a lot of food. But he wouldn't cook any of it, he'd order a massive dinner from some fast food and eat it all in one night. He'd get an extreme stomach ache and make himself really sick😭

You walk into the room and hes sprawled out on the couch with one hand on his stomach complaining about how he can't move and that it hurts😭😭😭

he's such a baby-😭

and if you offer him a solution he'd whine "Nooooo"'s.

On Valentines Day he'd cry about not having a partner, calling it a bogus holiday and he'd use it as an excuse to eat alot of junk food. He'd watch a shark tale on Valentine's day......... 💀........... He'd also CRY to that movie. If he had a partner during Valentine's Day he'd make them watch it and he'd claim that Oscar and Angie are "So us" just ignoring the fact that Oscar nearly cheats on Angie TWICE 😭😭😭😭😞😞😞😞 He'd get a tummy ache from the chocolate.

He gets a stomach ache MOST holidays actually. They're a recipe for constipation. 😭😭😭😭 He complains for days afterwards.

He never learns😍😭

Fathers Day he'd hang out with his dad the entire day, if a partner wanted to hang out with him during that day, he'd insist they bring their dad too. It'd be like a double dad date. Or he'd try to share his dad if you don't have a dad or don't like yours. "It's okay, you can have mine!!! Have you seen the size of my dad? He could be like three families dads." 😭 He doesn't even mean it in a rude way either.

This isn't a holiday but he doesn't strike me as a morning person, so I feel like he'd disregard Daylight Savings. The world will bend to his schedule, he's not going to change his sleep patterns or his schedule for it.

He'd celebrate Earth Day but only because he cares about Sea Life and Littering

He'd love to celebrate Shark Week

On New Years he vows some crazy shit. "New Year New Me, I'm gonna stop eating so much Junk" then within an hour, or the next morning he's already ate a whole bag of chips and a soda. And he'd cry about it, too. He'd cry very hard.

He'd have a vendetta against April Fools, he's scared of being pranked so he locks himself in his Fortress. He'd be paranoid around even his partner. It'd be so funny to see him be so suspicious. Squinting his eyes and shit at them. 😭😭😭 He's expecting something, every turn he's expecting. Everytime he sits down he checks for whoopie cushions, and he'd check his partners hand for buzzers, and he'd be so paranoid about everything😭.

Accidentally turned on anonymous; I’m the one who posted that champion talk.I’m glad you love that route too! I can actually see them doing that(and not just because every like four months Gamefreak Twitter decides to remind people of Ingo’s current fate.

For one, Unova’s legend is built on two twin brothers, older one truth and younger ideals. We got the differences with Alder and Iris for that(and the rivals having Cherrim as Ideals, Bianca as truth, and Hugh as balance) but the twins are literally black and white twin brothers. A third champion can round out the truth, ideals, and balance and Emmet feels perfect for it storywise with Unova starting with twins and ending with twins(bonus if Emmet incorporates grey in his outfit since it’s the mix of his and Ingo’s color scheme).

Secondly, it feels that the regions go in real time. Red and Blue aging matching up with how old Gen 1 was to both Johto and the Unova sequel having that timeskip matching up with their releases. Ingo’s concept art of him being found in Hisui also is listed as “XX years ago” which implies he been there for at least a decade which lines up with Black and White 2 age(excuse me as I crumple to dust-) and also is plenty of time for Emmet to take everything in for better coping skills. ALSO, the constant mentions to Unova and seeing the changes outside of the region. Unova was mentioned multiple times in Kalos, specifically the Subway and Coleress research. In the Ultra Games Grimsley is revealed to have retired from being the dark type elite four member while Coleress is revealed to have been traveling regions to pursue his totally not illegal research. Several Unovan Pokémon received love in Gen 8 with evolutions and the nobles. And of course Ingo was sent hundreds of years into the past(side note: almost every Gen has a ghost. Marowak, the little girl in Pheobe gym, Old Chateau and the abandoned house, the strange house girl, the elevator girl, the trainer school girl, the love letter girl, and vessa. But we never got to fight one besides Marowak. If ghost Ingo comes true, please have a fight and some true closure with Emmet) and wasn’t sent back afterwards. This means so much has changed since the sequel and since many things weren’t answered already like what the original dragon looked like, they could totally do a third and final game as a send off. Having a fan favorite like Emmet be the champion(since the twins are adored in Japan) be a fitting way to conclude their story.

As for Emmet himself, he is possibly the strongest double fighter in the series. The twins are basically champion level fighters and there are even headcanons they wanted to be champions until realizing only one of them could be. Emmet runs a competitive team and in all the media, he’s implied to have only lost to the protagonist and Ingo(in the Manga Hilda merely tied with Ingo. In Masters Emmet reveals he and Ingo practice fights with each other where Ingo hardly loses matches. And in the anime no one could beat them to the point of someone lying that he did to seem impressive) so he’s definitely strong enough to be one. Being champion and thus in the spotlight could also give us more info on the Unova myths, Emmet’s backstory(I have sad headcanons with that), or his relationships with the other people in Unova. But also…Emmet is a double battler, and including Gurdurr and Boldore, the two have twelve Pokémon. We could possibly have our first ever double battle champion, and given Pokémon been adding harder challenges(Ultra Necrozma, BDSP Cynthia, Volo, and final boss of Scarlet and Violet) this could be something they could do at a stand out final fight. In conclusion, less evil Emmet, more champion Emmet(and please Gamefreak! You’ve been building up something for Unova for years, please be good-)

I would love for Emmet to be the first ever double battler champion! He's a beloved character with a lot of potential. I wouldn't get my hopes up since the pokemon franchise has a lot of ongoing stories in world that never seem to progress, or at least we have to wait a long time to get a glimpse of it (pointedly looking at Looker and Anabel, for example). And even when we do get progress, closing the story line seems like wishful thinking. Not that I complain much since it allows for a lot of content creators to go wild, although it would be nice to get some closure in some of them. Gamefreak better let the twins reunite at some point. Acknowledge what you did to those two poor twins, cowards.

On the other hand, I love all your thoughts about this. But but BUT-

Did you really have to go there. Omg. My heart.

[fulgurbugs]

as per the results of the poll i picked up g3 lagoona blue for 15.69 at target today, just finished unboxing her, so here’s my look at her! i’m at home and my stands are at school so this jar of paper stars will be helping her stand today.

so i was slow to come around on g3 lagoona (i mean, she’s pink! wadda hell mattel you go changing MY lagoona….. smh) and i was going to wait for a doll of hers that wowed me to get one of her, but the more versions i’ve seen the more i think her first core doll has been my favorite and i feel like i’ve seen it’s vision the most. so since she’s discounted i felt like i’d get her as a little pick-me-up after my doctor shit yesterday.

first thoughts: if you hate these rainbow shorts you’re wrong. they are my absolute favorite piece of this outfit, they tie all her pastel colors together and the little fin ruffles on the sides are just adorable. i’m also a fan of her asymmetric earrings and her fanny pack.

now, her pet and accessories:

neptuna is her pet, and she comes with a seashell backpack, shellphone icoffin, kelp chips, goldfish carton, sunglasses, water bottle, and her extra outfit piece is a swimsuit. i think my favorite accessory out of this bunch is definitely the water bottle, the cap being a whale tail shape is super cute! the pink items are sooooo neon tho, and don’t really match the other various pinks lagoona has going on.

now neptuna… she’s cute, and i do love her, but like. what the hell is she? she’s some kind of mammal cat/dog/fish hybrid, im continually impressed with g3s ability to turn any kind of animal that the ghouls had as a pet into a dog version of it. objectively hilarious

her leg fins are removable, her arm ones are not. i also tried on the second outfit piece on her, gotta say i don’t love this swimsuit on her, like this orange is just nowhere else in the color scheme and i think it’s look better in blue/pink/purple tbh

now as for hair this is some of the better box saran ive seen, not to tangly looking so i’m happy. i absolutely love this hair blend, with the two streaks in front and layers of blue and purple in the back. i also like this blonde overall for her, i don’t really like some of the more yellow versions a few of her dolls have.

anyways that’s it! will get goona back home to the dorm display soon so she can join all her monster ghoul friends and get a real stand lol

[one-idea]

Are you going to use the designs fans sent you of the reverse strawhats as "canon" in your AU? Or will you change them up a bit?

Yes and no.

I love all the designs that people have sent in and if you want to draw them please do!

I am using a few ideas from the designs that fans have sent in but putting my own twist in them. I have an idea in my head of what each character will look like. If you see them differently I would love to see them.

I’m working on Kaya right now and I’m just making some basic designs that I can use to visualize them in different arcs. Nothing overly fancy.

Here’s the start of Kaya’s reference sheet. I’ve only made it through Drum Island with her wardrobe.

I love her stupidly big hat she’s shown wearing in all of her flashbacks so I wanted to include it. The first two are renditions of her flashback outfits while the second two follow that fit with her more current color scheme.

The actual strawhats, while assigned colors still have a variety of colors in their wardrobes. I want her early wardrobe to reflect her youth and statues as well as the fact she’s not a trained fighter yet.

I love a fancy hat and flowing skirt and it definitely fits her vibe.

I also wanted to show her youth and innocence in her color palette giving her mostly pastels.

@majestickdoodler had some great ideas for her designs. My favorite idea that she had was that Kaya always carried a ribbon on her that was a gift from Usopp. And I love that idea. But I changed it to the necklace she’s wearing around her neck (I hope that’s okay), it’s a ring that he tied a sting around (bonus points if you can guess who the ring belonged to originally)

Kaya was hesitant to take it at first but Usopp said he wanted her to have it because she would have to give it back to him someday. “You can give it back to me once we’re both brave warriors of the sea.”

It’s a promise that they will see each other again. (And they are sickly in love)

But I’m planning to go through each arc and make a spin off outfit for this crew, but that will take me a while.

Im working on Kaya right now and we will see where we go from there.

7, 11, 12, and 14 for the ask game?

7. Favorite G3 parent(s)?

Apollo is definitely up there! Best dad award goes to...

But also, Dracula is great too! I love how much character development he's received this season. Starting from being super stubborn and non-approachable about witchcraft to being like "I'll try to bend the rules and make witchcraft acceptable" and "here, daughter of mine, let me help you with your witch studies!" Like, what a great dad T-T also, his egotistical moments can be really funny! That whole interaction he had with Apollo about his "really handsome friend" was hilarious. Other parents are wonderful too, we just don't get to see them a ton. Lyra and Medusa are adorable, and the way Medusa described how she fell for Lyra was so sweet 🥺 

11. Any G3 ships you'd like to see?

The only ship I'm a die hard fan of is clankie, and they're canon 💅 not to brag or anything SHHJSH /lh. So basically, more clankie!! I hope we get to see more of them being together in season 2. Maybe there will be a date episode...👀

But, I know it was stated in the MH bible that Clawdeen is a lesbian. Even if the bible isn't real, would love to potentially see her embark on a gay little storyline! But single icon Clawdeen is also wonderful!

12. Are there any canon relationships (platonic or otherwise) in G3 you enjoy or don't enjoy especially?

hehehe I wonder what ship I enjoy...

IT'S CLANKIE OF COURSE!! XD

They're just so adorable!! And queer love is so precious!

Platonic-wise, I love Deuce and Frankie's relationship. With Portrait of a Monster being my favorite episode, their friendship dynamic/interactions are so fun!

For ones I don't enjoy... there's none in particular I hate. I just feel like some are exceptionally rushed. Like Gil and Lagoona. They only had two episodes (one being Gil's introductory episode) before they ended up going to the Monster Ball together. If people ship them though, then that's totally chill and I respect you :) if you don't ship them, that's also totally chill, and I respect you too!

14. You have been given the chance to design the G3 version of one G1-introduced character. Who do you choose?

Ooo this one is tough. Probably Heath...💀 I've gotten used to his design, but at first, it was jarring for a lot of people to see HSJHJ (no offense, Heath). I like some of the changes they made. As weird as it sounds, I kinda like the bald-ness XD I feel like it makes sense that his hair is literally fire that can be put out at any time. Not sure how I feel about the blue in his design; blue and orange (which is a large part of his color scheme) are on opposite ends of the color wheel, so it sorta throws me off a little. I'd probably have a fun time integrating more red/orange/black colors into his outfits and design :)

[sigyn-foxyposts]

Sigyn, Witch of Midgardr and the wife of Loptr.

I'm admittedly not a fan of "The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar" and their depiction of Sigyn like:

Her relationship with Loki being painted as toxic or a one sided relationship.

Her manipulating and trying to seduce Loptr for attention. (Not that being seductive is a negative thing!)

Her design, mostly outfit as a whole. It's just too revealing!!

I thought it would be fun to do my own little spin on her! Writing and design wise, so here's how i re-wrote her character, but I'm still sticking with most of her given lore!! :)

!Spoilers ahead for some actual lore, not all was made up by me!

"Sigyn, is one of three powerful witches in the world, known in her region of the world as the Witch of Midgardr. Sigyn was the former founder of the Midgardr tribe also known as the Panther clan, until her marriage to Loptr who she now shares that title with. She's a calm and gentle woman, who takes her role as a leader together with Loptr very seriously.

She's very skilled in magic and through her Inchanting dances casts spells on anyone she targets! Which is probably how she caught Loptr's eye, but it was actual true love. Together they have at least one known son to the public named Narvi, who helps them spy and gain information from any rival clans. Any siblings could be possible, just unknown."

This is most definitely a one time thing, so feel free to take these ideas, since I'm not really into the anime where her character originates from, fun none the less! :)

Now about the changes to her design!

I kept most of her color scheme and tried to stay true to her original design. Small details like moles and tattoos. But I made her hair a darker shade and I also added freckles!

I tried to make her hair more curly or what I can do to make it look anything but straight to give some representation since she looks like a person of color!

I'm aware I made her a look a little more chubby than she actually is, because she's actually very skinny. That wasn't intentional but ngl it's kinda cute! It can be her later in life even 😼✨

[pathetic-sapphic]

I friggin' love the idea of Arcane matchups?

If it's alright with you, can I get one? :0

I'm really interested in seeing what you come up with!

-I'm a bisexual trans woman, I am 5'6" (168.5 cm) tall, I have curly hair, glasses and I mostly wear punk outfits.

-I tend to be described as a reserved, overtly-nervous person, though I tend to be a lot more outgoing if im near people I feel safe around.

-My hobbies are mainly animal husbandry and writing! I am especially a fan of arachnids and avians.

-Some other random fact about me! I find a lot of comfort in little trinkets and toys, like rocks, bracelets, and ESPECIALLY plushies expect me to be carrying one or more of these around often and being really protective of them.

I would match you up with:

JINX

The first thing that came to mind was the way your styles would match perfectly. Jinx would definitely draw some doodles all over your arms which match your overall outfits and color scheme. Also please let her do your makeup and nails, she loves the idea of it. In turn, she will let you style her hair! She loves hanging out with you this way, indulging in relaxing activities that also entail her being close to you and looking at your pretty face as long as she wants!

Your personalities are what help you to balance each other out, with Jinx helping you get out of your comfort zone and you helping her find her peace of mind.

Please tell her all about your favorite animals, it makes her feel giddy to see you so passionate and happy. Also, let her read your works sometimes, she will be kicking her feet up and down while reading your works out loud and teasing you for your red face.

Oh, you two definitely share a trinket collection, especially since Jinx loves adorning her inventions with little things that remind her of you. Thinks your plushies are adorable and you bet she's gonna make them cute little outfits and talk to you through your plushies.

[nitpick-november-2022]

…what color is Glynda supposed to be?

Like, with the naming convention rules in place, her color would have to be white, right? Except white isn’t a significant color on her the way red is on Ruby, or green is on Ozpin. I would have to guess that her color is either black or purple or yellow, except Glinda in the Wizard of Oz wears pink (in the movies at least)! And no part of her name has these colors! On a character who was there from the beginning!

Honestly, I've never been able to pick out a color from her name. The closest I can get is Glynda meaning "fair", which could mean "light", but that's not exactly a slam dunk connection (I've never really a fan of her name in general, always found it too on the nose for her allusion).

Then again, not all of the teachers have color names as far as I'm aware (Peter Port and Ozpin aren't the most colorful of names), and I believe that there was an asterisk on that color name rule that side characters weren't bound to that convention - which makes sense! Don't want to waste time coming up with a name and color scheme for a character that's not going to be a major player or, in the case of Oz, has lore reasons to have a name that's noticeably not a color name.

If I were to guess what color she's meant to be, I'd say purple. It's the color of her Semblance in action and the color on the inside of her cape - if I were to do some headcanon speculation here, you could say that her usual attire is very much her "deputy headmistress" uniform, and that, like her students, she wears something very different and more reflective of her colors while on the job as a huntress, with her cape being a hint of what that outfit may look like. I suspect that if we'd stayed at Beacon longer, we may have gotten to see the teachers in their own Huntsmen outfits at some point like we do Oobleck.

But perhaps that's giving too much credit. While Port doesn't have a color name, Peach (a teacher we've never even met) and Oobleck (technically) do, and I'd consider Glynda a more important character than either of them. She is also the third character we see in the very first episode, and does make multiple appearances in all of the Beacon volumes. It does seem odd to break convention right at the very start of the series without a very good reason (though I suspect that reason would be "Glynda Goodwitch" rolls off the tongue far more easily than any alternatives that may have been come up with). Then there's also Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, and Pyrrha Nikos - what colors do they have in their names despite being members of the B team (as far as Google can tell me, Ren can mean lotus in Japanese, but lotus flowers can be in a range of colors, not just pink which I heard somewhere is his canon color and honestly his color should be green why make him and Nora share a color and Lie can mean "Ardent" which is apparently a shade of red?? But that's definitely not his color???)? So not giving three out of 4 of your main secondary cast members clear color names doesn't bode well for your naming rule being a rule rather than just a guideline to be followed whenever and to whatever degree you want to.

[treesofgreen]

Hiiii I was wondering if you could help me because. As far as I can tell, everyone writing about Izzy etc is damn near obsessed with his ring and I feel super lost??? Where did this come from, why does everyone assume it's like, super important, what have I missed?? Aside from not wearing other jewelry I don't see anything, I thought it was a cravat pin when I first watched? Help 😭 (also, why do a lot of people say he's got another tattoo specifically on his hip?)

The hip tattoo is totally fanon as far as I know, most of us like to imagine him with a number of tattoos and a hip tattoo or a tramp stamp seem to be the most popular choices. In my head he has many tattoos! Showing him almost naked with no visible ink is OFMD's one crime.

The ring! It could just be a little pirate accessory like Oluwande's earring or Fang's headband, but since we know so little (nothing) about Izzy's past it's a fun thing to angst and speculate about, especially with his clothes, which many people read as a mourning outfit - I disagree there, and think the black is just Ed's color scheme. The ribbons on his sleeves are too thin to be mourning bands, and mourning bands were also worn higher up and only on one arm. So he may be a widower but I don't think he's dressing as one. I SWEAR he touches the ring both after he sees Ed dressed as Stede, and when he's leaving after the duel (he definitely does it there). Which to me says some kind of stabilising/comfort item.

So the ring is a lot of fun fan theorising, but Con did share a tweet? on an Instagram story where someone wanted to know the story behind certain things in season 2, and he highlighted the silver ring. He could just be teasing, but maybe there is a story there that we'll get to see. I read a fic this morning where the ring came from the body of the first man Izzy killed for Ed, as a kind of pact, which is now my current favorite idea in a sea of very good ideas.

i hope that's not the album cover... louis' designs are always so cool his merch festival posters i love them all soooo much but this album cover is not as good

Anonymous asked: God not another boring album cover and with the same aesthetic as walls too where Is the creativity Jesus Christ

Assuming the cover is real, which I do, I’m not going to lie....I don’t really get the level of hate toward it. I think it is A MILLION times better than Walls, which was just an absolutely horrible debut album cover. Between the tacky, school picture day background, Louis’ pose, his expression, his outfit, the overall color scheme....nothing about it would draw anyone’s attention in a positive way or make them want to pick it up, in my opinion.

I don’t think this one is perfect, but I do think it’s a lot better than that. I like that it’s a close up of his face. I think he looks pretty. I love the turtleneck. I actually don’t mind the color scheme, and to the point that it’s the same aesthetic as Walls - it’s not really? It’s the same aesthetic as his tour, which I think evolved from where he was with Walls. And his tour only just concluded, so I think it makes sense that his next era would still fit with what he’s been doing recently. If COVID-19 hadn’t happened and he’d dropped the album, then done tour, then had a year off to work on the album, and then put the new album out, I would expect the album cover to reflect a different era more.

I think the half shadow/half light on his face is kinda cool and that it can be viewed as him sort of looking toward that future, maybe representing him stepping out of the shadows and leaving the past behind. I honestly don’t even mind the font, but I know a lot of people think it looks too much like something a fan could do, and I can understand that perspective.

I will say that I am tired of Louis’ very serious vibe. I think it would be nice to have more of his optimism and softness reflecting in his album photos and photoshoots because we’ve pretty much always just gotten photos where he looks miserable or very serious. Particularly with an album with a title talking about having faith in the future, it would make more sense to have some joy in his expression. It’s always been so odd how counter his photo aesthetic is with who he actually is as a human being. I think a large part of that is his and his team’s desire to try to mold him after Liam Gallagher, which may make sense when it comes to music, but simply does not make sense in terms of Louis’ personality which is mostly very soft and bright with a few hard edges.

So yeah, I don’t hate the album cover, but I do definitely think they could have done a much better job with it considering how strong his merch and other design ideas are. I wonder why they didn’t.
