Sustainable Choices: Organic Baby Clothing from France

I. Introduction

When it comes to dressing our little ones, we want nothing but the best. But what if the best for our babies could also be the best for our planet? Enter the world of sustainable baby clothing, where comfort meets consciousness. In this arena, France has emerged as a beacon of eco-friendly fashion for the tiniest trendsetters. Let's dive into the cozy, organic world of French baby clothing and discover why it's capturing the hearts of parents worldwide.

A. The importance of sustainable baby clothing

We all know that babies have sensitive skin, but did you know that conventional clothing can expose them to harmful chemicals? That's where sustainable baby clothing comes in. It's not just a trend; it's a movement towards healthier choices for our children and a cleaner environment for their future.

B. France's role in organic baby fashion

France, the land of haute couture, is now leading the charge in haute eco-couture for babies. With its rich textile history and commitment to quality, France is perfectly positioned to revolutionize the baby clothing industry with sustainable practices and materials.

II. Understanding Organic Baby Clothing

A. Definition of organic baby clothing

But what exactly makes baby clothing "organic"? Let's break it down. Organic baby clothing is made from natural fibers grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It's clothing that's kind to baby skin and kind to Mother Earth.

B. Benefits of organic fabrics for babies

Imagine wrapping your little one in a cloud of softness that's free from harsh chemicals. That's the magic of organic fabrics. They're gentle on delicate skin, reducing the risk of irritation and allergies. Plus, they're often more durable, meaning they can withstand the wear and tear of active babies (and frequent washing!).

C. Certifications to look for

When shopping for organic baby clothes, keep an eye out for certifications like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or Oeko-Tex. These labels are your assurance that what you're buying truly meets organic and safety standards.

III. The French Organic Baby Clothing Market

A. Overview of the industry

The French organic baby clothing market is booming, with more parents seeking out sustainable options for their little ones. It's a market that combines the chic style France is known for with a deep commitment to environmental responsibility.

B. Key players and brands

From small artisanal boutiques to larger eco-conscious brands, France offers a diverse range of organic baby clothing options. Names like Petit Bateau and Bonjour Little are making waves in the sustainable fashion world, offering adorable designs with a green twist.

C. Unique features of French organic baby fashion

What sets French organic baby fashion apart? It's the attention to detail, the quality of craftsmanship, and that je ne sais quoi that only French design can bring. Think classic styles with a modern, eco-friendly twist.

IV. Materials Used in French Organic Baby Clothing

A. Organic cotton

The star of the show in organic baby clothing is undoubtedly organic cotton. Soft, breathable, and grown without harmful pesticides, it's the perfect material for baby's sensitive skin.

B. Bamboo fabric

Bamboo is making a splash in the baby clothing world. It's naturally antimicrobial, moisture-wicking, and oh-so-soft. Plus, it grows quickly without the need for pesticides.

C. Hemp

Hemp might surprise you as a baby clothing material, but it's incredibly durable and becomes softer with each wash. It's also one of the most environmentally friendly crops out there.

D. Wool

For those chilly French winters, organic wool is a go-to. It's naturally temperature-regulating and water-resistant, perfect for keeping babies cozy and dry.

V. Popular Styles in French Organic Baby Fashion

A. Bodysuits and onesies

The foundation of any baby's wardrobe, French organic bodysuits often feature classic designs with a modern, eco-friendly twist.

B. Sleepwear

Sweet dreams are made of these – organic sleepwear that's both adorable and comfortable, ensuring your little one rests easy.

C. Outerwear

From organic cotton jackets to wool-blend coats, French brands are creating outerwear that's as stylish as it is sustainable.

D. Accessories

Don't forget the finishing touches! Organic cotton bibs, bamboo socks, and hemp sun hats complete the eco-chic baby look.

VI. Sustainability Practices in French Baby Clothing Production

A. Eco-friendly manufacturing processes

It's not just about the materials – French organic baby clothing brands are adopting eco-friendly manufacturing processes, from water conservation to renewable energy use.

B. Ethical labor practices

Sustainability isn't just environmental; it's social too. Many French brands prioritize fair labor practices and support local communities.

C. Packaging and shipping considerations

From recycled packaging to carbon-neutral shipping options, French brands are considering the entire lifecycle of their products.

VII. Caring for Organic Baby Clothes

A. Washing and drying tips

Caring for organic baby clothes is a bit different. Use gentle, eco-friendly detergents and opt for line-drying when possible to extend the life of the garments.

B. Stain removal techniques

Babies and stains go hand in hand. Learn natural stain removal techniques to keep those organic clothes looking fresh without harsh chemicals.

C. Extending the life of organic garments

With proper care, organic baby clothes can last through multiple children. Think of them as heirlooms in the making!

VIII. Cost Considerations

A. Price comparison with conventional baby clothing

Yes, organic baby clothes can be pricier upfront. But when you consider their durability and the avoided health and environmental costs, they often come out ahead.

B. Long-term value of organic baby clothes

Think of organic baby clothes as an investment – in your baby's health, in the environment, and in quality garments that can be passed down or resold.

IX. Where to Buy French Organic Baby Clothing

A. Online retailers

The internet has made it easier than ever to access French organic baby clothing. Many brands ship internationally, bringing a touch of Parisian chic to babies worldwide.

B. Specialty boutiques

For a more personal shopping experience, specialty boutiques often carry curated selections of French organic baby brands.

C. Department stores

Even major department stores are getting in on the organic baby trend, often featuring French brands in their eco-friendly sections.

X. Conclusion

In the world of baby fashion, France is proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand. By choosing organic baby clothing from France, parents are not just dressing their little ones in adorable, high-quality garments – they're making a choice that benefits their baby's health, supports sustainable practices, and contributes to a cleaner planet.

As we look to the future, it's clear that the organic baby clothing movement is more than just a passing trend. It's a fundamental shift towards more conscious consumption, starting with the youngest members of our society. So the next time you're shopping for your little one, why not consider a touch of French organic chic? Your baby – and the planet – will thank you.

Jake One Shot Masterpost

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

“Let him know he has 20 minutes until he needs to be on stage!” One of the backstage crew yells while passing me in the hall, running in the direction of the stage. Multiple members of the backstage crew follow behind him.

“Got it!” I yell back as I open Jake’s dressing room door. Swiftly stepping in, I turn around to close the door, my back to the rest of the room. “Hey, there’s 20 minutes till showtime,” I tell him, my back still to him as I immediately close the door, not seeing him right away.

“That’s enough time,” his voice is low behind me, causing me to turn around in surprise. He’s walking swiftly toward me like a lion stalks its prey, with his head tilted down, and eyes consuming my every being. With pupils already dilated, he’s on me as soon as the door is locked, his lips finding mine in an instant. His firm kiss sucks a shocked gasp from my lungs, my eyes widening for a moment, but fluttering close the next.

My back is pushed against the sturdy door as I struggle to keep up with his lips moving hungrily against mine. Continuing the fast pace, his tongue invades my mouth and I moan in response, earning a satisfied groan from Jake. The taste of him invades all senses with lust and hunger, and I grip his bare waist to pull him closer.

He pulls his lips away, but quickly moves to the side of my neck, leaving sloppy, wet open-mouthed kisses in their wake. Tilting my head, I grant him more access, my breath quickening and eyes remaining closed when he sucks on the sensitive skin beneath my ear. “Jake, we only have 20 minutes,” I sigh, my lips going dry from soft breaths.

“Then we’ll have to be quick.” He says while pulling away and grabbing one of my hands from his waist. He guides me to the green room’s couch, takes a seat, and leans back against the cushions. Watching me hesitate, he pats his lap with his free hand, his darkened eyes fixed on me, “Come here.”

Stepping a little closer, I stand directly in front of him while looking down at him with furrowed brows, signaling my curiosity. He leans forward slightly and reaches behind me to cup my ass, causing a small gasp to push past my parted lips. His deep, velvety brown eyes hold mine as he rests his chin on my lower belly, looking up at me with begging eyes. “Can I take these off, baby?” His hands slide up to the hem of my pants.

I nod, making a pleased smile appear on his plump lips as he hooks his fingers into the hem and tugs gently on my pants. The waistband stretches over the curve of my ass and hips, and I step out of them when they reach my ankles. Jake discards my pants to the side and leans forward to plant kisses on the tops of my thighs. “You’re so beautiful,” A small smile tugs at the corners of his lips, “Come sit.” He instructs.

Still in my underwear, his hands come up to rest behind my thighs, nudging me toward him to sit on his lap. When I do, his hands separate my legs slightly, making each of my legs fall on either side of his hips. Straddling him, I sink into his lap with my hands on his broad shoulders, and his already firm bulge presses against my aching center.

Once I’m situated, Jake’s head tilts back to look up at me, his eyes silently asking for something. Admiring his soft features for a moment, I lean forward and gently place my lips on his eager ones. The kiss is slow, meaningful, and thorough; our tongues moving sensually against each other, consuming our desire for each other. His hands move to my hips, his fingers sinking into the soft skin, and ecourages me to grind on his bulge.

Hesitantly, I slowly move my hips forward and back, creating a dull friction on my cunt. A breathy sigh leaves my lips, but Jake swallows it with a hungry kiss as a heavy breath escapes through his nose. His grip on my hips strengthens and I can feel him guiding me to go faster. With each swipe, he pulls me harder against him.

The growing pressure causes my panties to soak with arousal, my breathy sighs morphing into quick pants. In need of something more, my shaky hands travel to the fly of his suit pants. Stopping the motion of my hips, our kiss doesn’t break apart while I unbutton and unzip his pants, desperately tugging the waistband down. He lifts his hips slightly, causing me to yelp at the pressure against my swollen clit, and I tug his pants down enough so he’s just in his boxers.

Resuming the previous pace on his bulge, my hands blindly search for the waistband of his boxers. When I finally hook my fingers into the hem, his hands quickly move from my hips and grab my wrists to stop me. He breaks our kiss with a concentrated brow, “No,” his voice is hoarse and he’s panting as much as I am, “Keep them on.”

“What?” My hips come to a halt at his request, “But how-”

“I said we’d be quick,” His hands release my wrists and find their way back to my hips, trying to guide me back onto his hard cock. There’s a dampened spot on the fabric at his tip, where the precum leaks. I can see the outline of his dick; the tip pointing toward his belly button, and his boxers clings to his shaft. “Grind on me, baby.”

The desperate tone in his voice pulls me to guide myself back onto his bulge, my clothed cunt resting snugly on his equally clothed shaft. Without his pants, the friction is more amplified as I slowly rock my hips back and forth. A moan catches in my throat when my clit rubs against his shaft, sending a wave of pleasure to my core, causing the familiar molten feeling in my belly.

“That’s right,” He praises, his grip on my hips becoming firmer, “Keep grinding on my cock– I can feel how wet you are.” His words come out in strained grunts in between heavy huffs.

My head falls back at his encouragement, my mouth hanging open to let quiet, desparate moans out. His lips find my exposed neck, leaving sloppy kisses down my throat and nibbling at the soft flesh. “Take this off,” He mumbles against my heated skin and his hands bunch the bottom hem of my shirt, “I need to see it.” Pulling away, his eyes are now fixed on my cunt, which my shirt was previously covering.

Lifting my arms, I allow him to take my shirt off, leaving me in just my underwear and bra. He lets out a quiet, “God, yes,” and keeps his gaze fixed on my pussy grinding on his shaft.

I feel the delicious heat pool in my lower belly and expand over my limbs like a rising tide, causing the walls of my cunt to squeeze. My hands grip the back of the couch, using it as leverage to quicken my pace, chasing my growing climax. The quicker I grind, the further my release is, the vigorous friction melting into numbness. Groaning in frustration, I beg, “Please, Jake,” I whine and beg for something more, “I need you inside me.”

He finally looks up at me and a lazy smile forms on his lips, “So needy,” He lifts his hips slightly, adding to my pleasure and earning a satisfied sigh from me, “This feels good. Just like this, baby,” His hands on my hips assist me, moving my hips faster and more thoroughly, “Just keep doing that.” He groans quietly at the newfound pace.

My climax is slowly rebuilding itself, but it still is not enough. Desperate, needy moans exit my throat, dissipating into the air as I try to focus on chasing release. My eyes squeeze shut in frustration, and he notices.

“Look down, baby,” One of his hands releases my hip and comes up to rest on the back of my head. He pushes my forehead against his own, making me look between us where I’ve made a mess all over my panties and on his boxers. “Look at us.”

I stare at my grinding pussy and his drenched cock. I’ve left a trail of slick along his shaft, both fabrics soaking up our mixed juices. The tip of his cock threatens to peak through the waistband of his boxers from the force of my thrusts.

“Good girl. Watching you grind on my cock drives me insane, baby,” His husky lust-filled voice reaches my ears. His breathing is heavy, much like mine, like this is affecting him as much as it is me, “I fucking love it. I love watching you grind on me.” His hand behind my head holds me in place to keep watching, “I could watch this all fucking day– God, I wish you could see yourself right now.”

“Jake, I’m so close.” I choke out as my breath gets caught in my throat, a tingling feeling spreading over my lower belly and aching core.

“Breathe, baby,” He soothes, “Keep going, keep riding me.”

I blow out a sharp, shaky, frustrated breath, “I need more, please, Jake.”

“Hold on,” He grunts out, slowing my hips down and lifting me off of him so that I’m hovering over him. He repositions himself and sets me back down. This new position has the tip of his cock directly on my swollen, aching clit, and when I move my hips again, it doesn’t take long for my peak to return. “Does that feel better?”

“God, yes,” I gasp out as my eyes stay fixated on my pussy and his cock. His sensitive tip pushes against my clit with each thrust, causing my walls to flutter once again, “Jake, I’m going to come,” I quietly shout, my voice high from a mix of pleasure and exertion.

“That’s right, come on my cock,” His hand leaves the back of my head to assist my hips in finishing, quickening the already relentless pace, “Fuck– faster, baby.” The needy and desparate tone in his encouraging words pushes me over the edge.

A string of exasperated curses and the chanting of Jake’s name hits all corners of the room when my orgasm finally hits. It’s intense, given the labor it took to get here. My eyes squeeze shut once more, my vision going blurry and hearing muffled as my pussy walls frantically clench around nothing. A wave of fluid rushes to my panties, soaking them completely, while also soaking Jake’s boxers in the process.

I’m heavily panting when I realize Jake has not released my now-aching hips, my pussy still grinding on him. The final waves of my orgasm cause my body to jerk and spasm against him with each swipe of my sensitive clit. “Jake, I-”

“Please, keep going, baby, I’m almost there.” His shaky breath and the clenching of his lower abdomen confirms that he’s close. I finish out my orgasm by riding him, and the overbearing feeling of his tip brushing my clit causes me to whine with a sheen layer of sweat covering my forehead.

“Jake,” I whimper, the overstimulation causing a fatigued moan to catch in my throat.

“Almost there,” he mumbles beneath me, his gaze fixated on what’s happening between us. He tightens his grip on my hips once again, controlling the speed of them, as well as the pressure. “Oh my god, fuck,” He begins steadily panting, the rhythm of my hips becoming sloppy. “Please, please, please,” He quietly chants, his head swinging back and landing against the couch cushions.

Seeing him so desperate pushes me to take control, the aftershock of my previous climax subsiding and quickly being replaced by my second climax. I grip his shoulders and keep control of the thrusts, causing the coil in my gut to retighten at an alarming rate.

“You’re going to make me come,” His eyes roll for a moment and his mouth hangs open, “just like that– make me come just by grinding on me.”

“Shit!” Crying out, I forcefully and sloppily grind my pussy onto his cock, my second orgasm hitting me harder than the first. A loud, desperate yell exits my throat while my hips violently sputter from the pulses of my climax. My forehead immediately falls onto his shoulder as I keep grinding, “Oh my god,” I pant as my second climax lasts longer than the first, making my legs violently shake and squeeze around his lap.

“Oh fuck!” Jake yells, and a choked, broken-up groan fills the room as his orgasm hits him simultaneously. His head lifts off the couch and his forehead falls onto my shoulder as well. He watches as his restrained cock twitches beneath me, shooting his release into his boxers and soaking the fabric even more. I feel his body tremble, his stomach twitching with the final pulses of his orgasm. His hands, still on my hips, slowly and firmly guide me up and down, milking the rest of his cum out of him. “My god, baby, look at the mess we made.” He pants as well.

I look down, and sure enough, we’re both soaked. His cum is leaking through the fabric of his boxers and my two orgasms are spread all over my spread thighs. An exhausted chuckle leaves the both of us, the reality of our situation weighing on us.

“You’re so good at that,” He moves from my shoulder and leans up to kiss my forehead, “you always make me feel so good.” That earns an exhausted smile from me, and I lazily kiss him. He reciprocates, his hands traveling up from my hips to the sides of my face. For a second, the kiss grows hungry, and the thought of continuing flashes in my mind.

“One minute till showtime!” A stagehand yells down the hall and we both frantically look at each other, abruptly breaking the kiss.

“Shit!” I scramble off of Jake and find my clothes scattered along the carpeted floor. He does the same, buttoning his suit pants, and finding his matching jacket. “Jake, your boxers-”

“No time!” He quickly kisses me and runs out of the green room. Now fully dressed, I follow him as the sounds of the instrumental introduction flood the backstage halls, the floor and walls rumbling with anticipation. Jake just barely makes it to the stage’s steps, where his three brothers wait for him.

“Wow, Jake’s the last to be here, that’s a first.” Sam makes the snarky comment with Danny and Josh shooting Jake a questioning look in return.

“Just got caught up, that’s all,” Jake responds panting, shooting me a cocky smile before following his brothers up the steps.

Free Day Thursday:

"Responsible Adults", the sequel: Jak tries to do a regular Jak Stunt and is shocked that it doesn't go over well

(Roughly a week after this one ends. Long post warning, as most of these are lol)

Night terrors were not an uncommon experience for Jak. They may not have been his nightly companions anymore, but when he did have them, they were intense. He woke up in a corner of his room, wedged beneath the sink. There was a vague sense that he was taking cover from something, or someone.

Blessedly, he remembered no details of the nightmare. But the terror still sent his guts quivering the way they had in the prison. Huddled under the cot both for warmth and silently praying the boots wouldn't stop at his door. That he wouldn't end up Tyber's new punching bag when he got bored of the old man in the cell above Jak's.

Tyber is dead. Errol is dead. Praxis is dead. I watched them die.

Jak repeated the words like a mantra until he could move his limbs again. He crawled out from beneath the sink, but the lingering fear made his room feel claustrophobic. Smaller than it really was.

At least he hadn't woken Daxter this time.

Jak put on his boots, but didn't bother getting fully dressed. He didn't even know what time it was. Why bother if the doctor and the king guy were just going to nag him about being sleep-deprived anyway?

It must have been early morning, before dawn; the moon had vanished and people were outside doing repair work on houses and fog-catchers.

Early morning was the best time to get any outdoor work done in Spargus. A small girl led a flock of caprids out of the stables and towards one of the other districts to graze on the cactus there, and a gang of trainees only a little older than Jak were taking advantage of the temperature to do an endurance run around the city.

Personally, Jak didn't see the good of such things. You learned to be fast enough or smart enough to escape your enemies, or you didn't. He'd learned through life and death experience, not a footrace with no winners.

"Easy with the straps there!" A stocky man backed into Jak, calling up to a team of three people.

"Ope-! Scuse me there, pipsqueak." The Wastelander stepped to the side as if Jak was barely worth noticing.

"Howland, that thing ain't cinched tight enough!"

They seemed to be trying to remove a corroded beam from the supports of one of the multi dwelling houses. It was already leaning at a precarious angle, as big around as a grown man. If that beam came down the wrong way, it would take a lot of the adobe structure -- and probably a lot of people -- with it.

"It's fine, Daru!" Howland complained, "I just cinched it!"

"Well cinch it again! That sucker’s leanin'!"

Jak frowned, but let his curiosity wash away the dregs of the night terrors.

"What's wrong with it?"

The unofficial foreman tugged at a bushy red mustache and shook his head. "Don't rightly know yet. Could just be age. Sand storms and salt air will do a number on this kind of metal after a while."

Jak wondered if that had anything to do with Sandover using wood and stone almost exclusively. He was about to ask why it had been anchored to a mud wall when there was a loud metallic clang. The last bracket holding the beam snapped under the weight, and the straps weren't enough to hold it.

Jak didn't remember moving. But then he was there, with the beam on his shoulders and the foreman on the ground, having narrowly avoided being crushed to death. Cold metal dug into his hands, pressed down against his head, and Jak knew that by rights he should've been dead.

There was a thrill of revulsion in his chest when he reluctantly acknowledged that the only reason he was standing right now was that the dark eco experiments had lengthened his muscle strands to twice the size of a normal hu'men's. It wasn't just in his dark form. That element of...unnatural...was just with him. Every moment.

"Frith! Oh my- HOWLAND! GET DOWN HERE!" Daru roared, "YOU COULDA KILLED SOMEBODY!"

"I got it," Jak said through gritted teeth. "Is there a place to put this thing down?"

"Not yet," Howland admitted as he shimmied down a ladder.

"We were going to cut it into pieces once it was secure, transport it that way to be recycled."

Jak craned his neck, but the motion jarred the beam. Hastily, he adjusted his grip.

"What's- What's around me?"

"Too much," said Daru grimly. "Just- Hold on, kid."

He winced at the boy's flat stare.

"Er...no pun intended. We're gonna, gonna get you out from under there, I promise!"

"Get it cut up first," Jak grunted, "And you won't have to worry about getting me out."

"And what if your hands get sweaty, huh?" Daru demanded, "Fat chance, little man! We're going to find something to hold this up!"

The other two men hurried down from the roof with saws in hand.

Oh gods. Handsaws. This was going to take a while.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Honestly, Damas should have been expecting trouble when he didn't start his day with a free heart attack after seeing eyeshine in the kitchen. The kid was diametrically opposed to the concept of sleep, so he wouldn't have been in bed. If he was off his routine -- and by now Damas had learned to dread something interrupting the kid's self-imposed routine -- then there was probably going to be trouble later.

When he refilled the fuel in the Beacon, fed the birds, and actually had a cup of coffee uninterrupted, he was suspicious.

When the sun rose and there were no echoes of truncated curses in the halls from guards running into Jak, he started to wonder if the kid had decided to work outside. Unusual, but as long as he didn't do anything that would make Dr. Petros yell at them both, more power to him.

But when the talking ottsel showed up in the throne room about an hour after dawn, frantically demanding to know where Jak was, Damas was concerned.

Those two were attached at the hip! Jak wouldn't have gone to look for work without Daxter.

There was a small crowd forming by the time Damas stepped outside. People were shouting encouragements, or conflicting advice about pulleys and snatchblocks. Had something fallen? Damas hadn't heard any impacts. As he began to pick his way through the crowd, the shouts took on new meaning.

"He's slipping! Somebody get under there!"

"How many more hands do you want? There's ten people holding the beam up!"

"Why won't he just let go?!"

"Standing this long, maybe his arms locked up-?"

A beam? People holding a beam-?

An accident. There'd been an accident and night watch hadn't caught it.

Thoughts of crushed citizens and mangled houses circled Damas’s imagination as he pushed through the rest of the crowd, close enough to hear the rasp of handsaws and the buzz of a lone angle grinder.

"Get the cart back in!" Someone yelled, "Next piece is almost off!"

From the looks of things, a crew of four had reduced a two-story high support beam by a third.

Ten Wastelanders were beneath the colossal pole, hands and shoulders braced against the metal as it shrieked and groaned. If even one of them slipped-!

Damas threw down his staff without thinking to join them, racing to catch the end beginning to slide.

"What happened?" he demanded, straining with the others to keep it from crushing the houses and themselves.

"Tie straps broke!" a man three people down called back, "If it weren't for the kid, it woulda come down right through the roofs of a couple houses!"

Kid?

Oh gods don't tell me...

Jak was standing in the very center of the line. His arms trembled, and sweat poured down his face. He didn't seem to hear anything happening around him, too focused on keeping his grip. He was beginning to pale.

"What's he doing here?!"

"Dunno!" A woman to the left answered. "He was already there when me and the girls showed up, but that was two hours ago."

"Hours?!"

Jak had been out here for hours, trapped, and Damas had been none the wiser?

"Why hasn't anyone gotten him out yet?!"

"We tried! The poor kid froze up!"

Damas gritted his teeth and pushed away images of the kid standing alone under that crushing weight for hours until help had woken up.

"Get a truck and winch out of the pit!" He ordered, "Forget damage to the streets, we'll fix it later! I want this thing taken care of now."

It took a full twenty minutes to get the Dozer through the narrow streets of the tower district. By that time, those who had been holding the beam first had cycled out for fresh arms to allow for water and eco. All except Jak. He'd accepted some water that someone poured into his mouth earlier, but still seemed to be unable to let go. He was at the fulcrum point, he insisted, and he wasn't going to let it tip. (Not that he thought he'd actually be able to move at this point.)

Fifteen people attached pulleys and cables to the beam from above, careful not to dislodge the hands of those below. When the cables had all been hooked to the Dozer's winch, the weight began, at last, to lessen.

There was a ragged cheer from the assembled Wastelanders as the end of the beam tipped up and the rescuers eased the other end to the ground. There would be extensive damage to infrastructure to deal with. But nobody had died, and there were no major injuries, and Damas would count that as a victory. Shaking out aching arms, he hurried to the center of the line, where someone was physically holding Jak upright. Damas took hold of the boy's stiff arms carefully.

"It's gone," he said, easing the limbs down, "It's gone, let go, Jak. Come on, you're done."

The kid made a sound, a soft rasping whine that might’ve been words. Then he collapsed.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

When the world drifted back into focus, Jak didn't know where he was. The smell of eco lingered around him, confusing the other scents that could have identified his location. He couldn't move his arms. Why couldn't he move his arms?!

It took a massive effort just to pry his eyelids up. Jak’s breath caught harshly between his teeth as he forced himself onto his side.

Well, that explained the lack of mobility in his arms. He ached like he'd been fighting beyond his limits again. The injection sites would be agitated again, he knew without looking. The pain radiated from his shoulders to his fingertips, skin, muscle, and bone.

The room was a blur. Brown and yellow slowly settled into more colors, ending in something either white or pale blue in front of his nose. The longer he stared at it, the more detail he could see. Pills of thread, clinging to loosely woven fabric. The texture and shape of the warp and weft shifted as he tried to move his hand.

He hissed in pain.

"Well that's what happens when you try to make a career as a load-bearing wall."

Jak tensed. Not alone. Not with Daxter.

Biting down on the pain, he dug his fingers into the pallet beneath him and forced himself upright.

This wasn't the hospital -- small blessings -- but it wasn't his room either. There was a low wooden bedframe on a wall a few feet away, on the other side of some kind of half partition full of plants.

"Where...?"

"Well you're about to think of it as prison," Damas answered from the opposite direction.

He was sitting at a table, hunched over a cup of coffee. The empty pot beside him was a story of its own.

"By the way, you're grounded."

"What?!" Jak sputtered. He started to get up, but fell back onto the pallet with a grunt of pain.

"Like rot!"

Damas glanced back over his shoulder. "Take it up with the doctor. He put you on bedrest, not me. Better yet, blame your own self! You could've let go at any time once the rest of the district turned up to help!"

"The whole...district?"

Jak blinked.

"I don't...remember that..."

Damas sighed and peered into into his mug.

"You've been sleeping most of the day, I'm not surprised. Even with the eco you'll probably be sore for a while."

"How -- ow! -- long was I out there?"

Jak cringed at the look in Damas’s eyes when the man turned around fully.

"Four. Hours. Four hours! Why didn't you let go when others arrived?!"

Was this a trick question? It had to be a trick question.

"Be...cause...I'm not supposed to let other people get hurt?" Jak answered with slow confusion.

Damas stared in complete silence for several seconds. Then,

"You're insane. My foster-son is insane. That's insane! In what world is "throw the youngest under the pillar" a rational solution?!"

"Uh. Haven?" Jak muttered peevishly. He tried to sit up again. "Look, just. Tell me which way my room is and I'll get out of your hair."

Damas pushed his chair back with a scraping sound.

"Mn. No. What part of "bed rest" didn't you hear?"

In brusque motions, he knelt and pulled the blanket back over Jak.

"You are not to do anything even mildly strenuous, or Petros will strangle me. And since I apparently can't trust you not to willingly walk into harm's way unsupervised, you get to camp out in here, and I get to work from home for the next few days to make sure you don't go try to lift a car or something!"

Jak was appalled. "You can't do that!"

Dry as dust, Damas retorted, "First of all, I'm king. Secondly, I'm your legal guardian. Yes I can."

Jak groaned in frustration.

"Where's Daxter?"

"Not grounded."

"Oh come on!"

Sumeru Men during Ganesh Chaturthi.

♥♥♥Okayy this might be a little too niche but for that 1% desi genshin fans pspsppspspps. ♥♥♥

A/N: Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival we celebrate in india, where we bring an idol of the popular hindu deity Ganesh home.

﹆ꕤ⊹Desi Sumeru Head cannons: Ganesh Chaturthi special.﹆ꕤ⊹

.. ♥Kaveh, Al Haitham, Cyno, Wanderer, Tighnari ft. Kaeya ♥ ..

Kaveh Head of decorations. Art child of the house forced into becoming the head designer for the festival. The entire responsibility of the decoration is pushed onto him, whether he's okay with it or not. By the end of it he'll be sitting on the ground with flower garlands and fairy lights around his neck. STRESSEDDD, he has to get the space ready before they actually bring the Ganpati idol home and right now nothing is sticking to the wall, the lights look ugly and Al Haitham is getting on his last nerve. 

Cyno SELLOTAPE MAN, bro cannot be trusted with anything other than cutting small pieces of sticky tape and holding them ready for kaveh. He might even start sticking them on Scara's hat so that they're easier to peel.  He has a little shop of every type of sticky tape available- the double sided one, masking tape, the yellow coloured one for the light arrangements and the clear see-through ones, whatever you want. Will offer bad jokes with every piece. Also primarily here for the spiced milk.  

Tighnari The environmentalist that goes on about how they should use eco- friendly decorations and ban polystyrene but does nothing to actually help. Will bring all the raw material for the flower and fruit arrangement and that's his only contribution. The rest of the time he'll play music and and give Kaveh bad advice. Also the kind to get modak edibles for the gang so they're all high as hell during the ceremony. The kind of soft launch his s/o to his fam by inviting them to the festival. 

Wanderer The non-native that's experiencing it for the first time. Let's be honest, his mom forced him to be here. He could not give a flying fuck about what the festival is and why its celebrated. But apparently its important to socialize, so fine he'll show up. He's given the huge bundle of fairy lights, pulled straight out of the attic so he can sit in a corner untangling them while the others conceptualise the decorations. Eventually has to work with the sellotape man. His hands hurt from holding the lights up because kaveh can't make up his mind on where they look good. The wires are old so might get electrocuted accidently. Also complains about the noise pollution outside, then dances his ass off during Visarjan, after eating Tighnari's edible. Al Haitham The critic. Exists solely to shit on all of Kaveh's ideas. He'll lounge around the room, not involving himself in anything, but the moment Kaveh assembling things he'll point out everything he's doing wrong. Will give random pointers until Kaveh rips his hair out. 100% will start fighting. "WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN? JUST WHY ARE YOU HERE? GO HOME" "I'm here because you're incompetent." ♥ "Yeah, that is not going to hold."  "Stfu Al Haitham, I'm the architect here, you think i don't know how these things work? I know what materials work with what kind-  The entire decoration crashes down on him the moment he says this, its 3am in the morning and kaveh is on the verge of tears.  "Told you so."  ♥ Kaeya The one NRI cousin that lives abroad and cries on Instagram over how much they miss the festival. Will dress up regardless to take pictures, attempt to make the sweets on their own and video call their fam all the time. Somehow finds an university club, or local desi community that celebrates the festival in that country and spams on socials.

bwhahahaah this was so much fun to write, i was actually imagining them as me and my cousins.

Exploring Bali What to Know Before You Go.

🌴 Exploring Bali: What to Know Before You Go 🌺

Hey wanderlust souls! Planning a trip to the enchanting island of Bali?

Here are some insider tips to make your journey unforgettable

Embrace the Culture: Bali is rich in tradition and spirituality. Respect the local customs, dress modestly when visiting temples, and always greet with a smile and a "Salamat Pagi" (Good Morning) or "Salamat Malam" (Good Evening).

Pack Wisely: Bali’s weather is tropical, so pack lightweight and breathable clothing. Don’t forget your swimsuit for those crystal-clear beaches and waterfalls!

Transportation: While taxis and ride-sharing apps are available, consider renting a scooter to explore the island at your own pace. Just remember to always wear a helmet and drive safely!

Sample the Cuisine: Indulge in the vibrant flavors of Balinese cuisine. From mouthwatering satay skewers to spicy nasi goreng, the local food scene is a feast for the senses.

Mind the Monkeys: Ubud’s Monkey Forest is a must-visit, but be cautious around the mischievous inhabitants. Keep a safe distance and avoid feeding or making direct eye contact with them.

Stay Connected: Bali is well-connected, but Wi-Fi can be spotty in some areas. Consider getting a local SIM card for reliable internet access during your stay.

Stay Eco-Conscious: Respect Bali’s natural beauty by supporting eco-friendly initiatives and avoiding single-use plastics. Remember, we’re all responsible for preserving this paradise!

Explore Beyond the Tourist Hotspots: While Bali’s popular destinations are undeniably breathtaking, don’t be afraid to venture off the beaten path. Discover hidden waterfalls, secluded beaches, and quaint villages for a truly authentic experience.

Stay Safe: Bali is generally safe for travelers, but it’s always wise to exercise caution. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded areas and be mindful of your surroundings, especially at night.

Leave No Trace: Last but not least, leave Bali as beautiful as you found it. Dispose of your waste responsibly and make memories, not souvenirs.

Get ready to embark on a journey of discovery and adventure in Bali! Let the island’s magic captivate your soul and leave you longing for more. 🌺🌴

The Complete Guide to Women's Clothes: Trends, Styles, and Advice

Fashion is a powerful form of self-expression, and women’s clothes play a pivotal role in shaping this expression. From the timeless classics to the latest trends, understanding the nuances of women’s fashion can elevate your style and enhance your wardrobe. This extensive guide explores current trends, essential styles, and practical advice for making the most out of your women’s clothes.

The Evolution of Women’s Clothes To fully grasp the current landscape of women’s fashion, it's crucial to understand its historical evolution. Women’s clothing has undergone significant transformations, reflecting broader societal changes and cultural shifts.

Early Influences

In the early 20th century, women’s clothes began to shift from the constrictive garments of the Victorian era to more liberated designs. The 1920s saw the rise of the flapper dress, characterized by its loose fit, dropped waist, and fringe details, symbolizing women’s growing independence and the social changes of the Jazz Age. The 1930s and 1940s introduced more tailored looks, with a focus on elegant, figure-enhancing silhouettes during the war years, thanks to designers like Coco Chanel and Christian Dior.

Mid-Century Developments

The 1950s marked a dramatic shift with the introduction of Dior’s “New Look,” which featured full skirts and cinched waists, embracing a more feminine and elegant style. The 1960s and 70s brought a revolution with bold patterns, mini skirts, and the emergence of unisex clothing. Designers like Mary Quant and André Courrèges led this charge, reflecting the counterculture and liberation movements of the time.

Modern Era

The 1980s continued the trend of bold fashion statements with power dressing and oversized silhouettes, while the 1990s and early 2000s favored casual wear and minimalist aesthetics. Today’s fashion is a mix of past influences and modern innovations, focusing on sustainability, inclusivity, and personal expression.

Current Trends in Women’s Clothes Fashion trends often mirror the zeitgeist, and contemporary women’s clothes reflect a blend of nostalgia, sustainability, and innovative design. Here’s a deeper look into the prominent trends shaping women’s fashion today:

Oversized Blazers

Oversized blazers are a standout trend that combines comfort with style. These blazers offer a relaxed silhouette that can be dressed up for formal occasions or down for casual outings. They are versatile enough to pair with tailored trousers, jeans, or even skirts. This trend is perfect for creating a chic, layered look that effortlessly bridges professional and casual wear.

Sustainable Fashion

Sustainability is more than a trend; it’s a movement reshaping the fashion industry. With growing awareness about environmental impact, sustainable fashion focuses on eco-friendly materials, ethical production practices, and reducing waste. Brands are increasingly incorporating recycled fabrics, using organic cotton, and promoting fair trade practices. Investing in sustainable women’s clothes not only supports environmental responsibility but also offers unique and thoughtful design choices.

Bold Prints and Patterns

Bold prints and patterns are making a significant impact in women’s fashion. Animal prints, floral designs, and geometric patterns add a dynamic element to outfits. These prints can be incorporated into various pieces, from dresses and blouses to accessories. Mixing and matching patterns is also gaining popularity, allowing for creative and personalized styling.

Vintage Revival

Vintage-inspired clothing is making a strong comeback. This trend draws from past decades, reviving styles such as high-waisted jeans, puff sleeves, and retro prints. Vintage revival offers a way to infuse modern wardrobes with classic elegance, creating a timeless and sophisticated look. Incorporating vintage pieces allows for a unique and personal touch to fashion.

Monochromatic Looks

Monochromatic dressing is all about creating a cohesive look using one color family. This trend emphasizes simplicity and elegance, making it easier to create polished and sophisticated outfits. Experimenting with different shades and textures within the same color palette can add depth and interest to monochromatic looks.

Essential Styles in Women’s Clothes A well-rounded wardrobe includes a variety of essential styles that can be adapted for different occasions and settings. Here’s a detailed look at some key styles every woman should consider:

Classic Denim

Denim remains a staple in women’s fashion due to its versatility and durability. A well-fitted pair of jeans—whether skinny, straight-leg, or flared—is essential. Denim can be dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with a T-shirt, making it suitable for both casual and semi-formal occasions. Investing in high-quality denim ensures longevity and comfort.

Little Black Dress (LBD)

The Little Black Dress is a timeless piece that offers unmatched versatility. Its simple elegance makes it appropriate for various occasions, from formal events to casual dinners. The LBD can be accessorized in countless ways, allowing for endless styling possibilities. Choosing a high-quality LBD ensures that it remains a go-to piece in your wardrobe for years to come.

Chic Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are a stylish and practical alternative to dresses. They provide both comfort and sophistication, making them suitable for various events. A tailored jumpsuit can be worn to formal occasions, while a relaxed fit is ideal for casual outings. Adding accessories such as belts or statement jewelry can elevate a jumpsuit to suit different styles and settings.

Elegant Dresses

Elegant dresses are essential for special occasions, such as weddings, cocktail parties, and galas. From cocktail dresses to floor-length gowns, having a selection of elegant dresses ensures you’re prepared for any formal event. Choose dresses that complement your body shape and personal style, and consider investing in versatile pieces that can be styled in multiple ways.

Cozy Knitwear

As the weather cools, knitwear becomes a key component of your wardrobe. Cozy sweaters, cardigans, and knit dresses provide warmth and comfort while maintaining style. Opt for classic, high-quality knitwear in neutral colors that can be easily paired with other items. Knitwear is perfect for layering and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

Choosing the Right Women’s Clothes for Your Body Type Selecting women’s clothes that flatter your body type enhances your overall appearance and boosts confidence. Here’s how to choose pieces that complement different body shapes:

Hourglass Shape

For an hourglass figure, emphasize your curves with fitted dresses, high-waisted skirts, and tailored blazers. Wrap dresses and belted waistlines work well to highlight your shape and create a balanced silhouette. Opt for pieces that accentuate your natural curves while maintaining a smooth, streamlined look.

Pear Shape

If you have a pear-shaped body, balance your proportions by focusing on upper-body pieces such as embellished tops or structured shoulders. A-line skirts and wide-leg pants can help complement and balance your lower body. Look for clothing that highlights your waist and adds volume to your upper body to create a harmonious silhouette.

Apple Shape

For an apple-shaped body, choose pieces that create a balanced silhouette. Empire-waist dresses and tops with V-necks can help draw attention away from the midsection and enhance your overall shape. Flowy fabrics and tailored pants can provide a flattering fit and add dimension to your look.

Rectangle Shape

To add curves to a rectangular body shape, opt for peplum tops, ruffled dresses, and layered outfits. These styles create the illusion of a more defined waist and add dimension to your figure. Incorporate accessories such as belts and statement jewelry to add shape and interest to your look.

Inverted Triangle Shape

For an inverted triangle shape, soften broad shoulders with V-neck tops and A-line skirts. Wide-leg trousers and tailored blazers can help balance your proportions and create a more cohesive look. Focus on adding volume to your lower body while keeping your upper body streamlined.

How to Accessorize Women’s Clothes Accessories are crucial in enhancing and personalizing women’s clothes. Here’s how to effectively use accessories to complement your outfits:

Statement Jewelry

Bold jewelry pieces, such as chunky necklaces, oversized earrings, and stacked bracelets, can transform a simple outfit into a standout look. Statement jewelry adds personality and flair, making it a great way to elevate your style. Choose pieces that reflect your personal taste and complement your outfit’s color and style.

Scarves and Shawls

Scarves and shawls are versatile accessories that can add color, texture, and warmth to your look. Experiment with different fabrics, patterns, and tying techniques to create various styles. Silk scarves can add a touch of elegance, while chunky knit shawls provide cozy comfort.

Belts

Belts are a practical accessory that can define your waist and add structure to your outfits. Experiment with different widths and styles, from slim belts to wide statement pieces. Belts can be used to cinch dresses, add shape to blazers, or create a polished look with high-waisted trousers.

Handbags

Handbags are both functional and fashionable. From sleek clutches to spacious totes, having a range of handbags ensures you’re prepared for any occasion. Choose bags that match your lifestyle and complement your wardrobe. Investing in a few high-quality pieces can enhance your overall style and provide practical solutions for carrying your essentials.

Footwear

Footwear is a critical element of your outfit, influencing both style and comfort. Invest in a diverse collection of shoes, including classic pumps, casual sneakers, and elegant flats. Choosing the right footwear can elevate your look and ensure you’re prepared for different events and activities.

Caring for Your Women’s Clothes Proper care is essential to maintaining the quality and longevity of your women’s clothes. Follow these tips to ensure your wardrobe remains in top condition:

Read Care Labels

Always check the care labels on your clothes for specific washing and drying instructions. This helps prevent damage and preserves the fabric’s quality. Different materials require different care methods, so adhering to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining your clothes.

Store Properly

Proper storage is key to keeping your clothes in good condition. Hang delicate items on padded hangers and store sweaters flat to prevent stretching. Use garment bags for special pieces and keep your wardrobe organized to easily access and maintain your clothes.

Avoid Overwashing

Frequent washing can wear out fabrics and cause colors to fade. Wash your clothes only when necessary and use gentle detergents to prolong their lifespan. Spot cleaning and airing out garments between washes can help reduce the need for frequent laundering.

Repair and Alter

Don’t discard items with minor issues. Small repairs, such as fixing tears or replacing buttons, can extend the life of your clothes. Tailoring ill-fitting pieces can also improve their appearance and ensure a better fit. Regular maintenance helps you get the most out of your wardrobe.

Organize Your Wardrobe

An organized wardrobe makes it easier to find and maintain your clothes. Regularly declutter and reassess your wardrobe to ensure you’re making the most of your pieces. Keeping your wardrobe tidy and up-to-date helps you make informed choices and maintain a stylish collection.

Conclusion Navigating the world of women’s clothes involves understanding current trends, embracing essential styles, and choosing pieces that suit your body type. Fashion is not just about following trends but about expressing your unique style and confidence. By staying informed and making thoughtful choices, you can create a wardrobe that is both fashionable and functional. Embrace the endless possibilities that fashion offers, and enjoy curating a collection of women’s clothes that reflects your individuality and enhances your personal style.

Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or updating your everyday look, this guide to women’s clothes provides valuable insights and practical advice to help you make stylish and informed decisions. Fashion is an ever-evolving journey, and with the right knowledge and approach, you can confidently navigate the world of women’s fashion and build a wardrobe that truly represents who you are.

Emma Watson: The Eco-Fashion Wizard Lighting Up the Red Carpet！

（week 7）

In recent years, the Slow Fashion movement has been gaining public attention, and Emma Watson is undoubtedly one of the key drivers of this trend. As an actress, activist and fashion icon, Emma has used her influence not only to advocate for sustainable fashion, but also to influence and inspire countless others through concrete actions.

Emma Watson started focusing on sustainable fashion and environmental issues a few years back. As a friend of Livia Firth, the founder of Eco-Age, Emma is actively involved in Eco-Age's "Green Carpet Challenge", a program that promotes eco-friendly fashion. She has been seen on the red carpet many times wearing gowns made from eco-friendly materials, showing that high fashion can go hand in hand with environmental protection.

For example, at the 2016 Met Gala, Emma wore a gown designed by British designer Calvin Klein in collaboration with Eco-Age. Not only was the gown elegant and beautiful, it was also made from recycled plastic bottles, perfectly demonstrating the combination of fashion and sustainability (Joe McCarthy 2016).

To promote the concept, Emma Watson skillfully utilized her social media platforms to spread the idea of sustainable fashion to her millions of followers around the world. She shares photos of herself wearing eco-friendly fashion brand clothing on Instagram and details the environmental and ethical practices of these brands. Through these posts, Emma not only showcases her personal style, but also tells her fans about the importance of slow fashion. Her influence has helped these brands gain more attention and support, as well as piquing fans' interest in sustainable fashion.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Emma Watson (@emmawatson)

Emma Watson's role in the slow fashion movement is not only that of an iconic figure, but also that of an activist and educator. As we can see from her example, choosing to buy products from eco-friendly brands and cutting down on unnecessary consumption are concrete ways to support slow fashion. Emma Watson's efforts have had a profound impact on the fashion industry and consumers. She demonstrates the image of a fashion icon of a new era: not only focusing on outer beauty, but also caring about inner responsibility and contribution to the world.

I hope this blog post has provided you with some insight into how Emma Watson is promoting the slow fashion movement through her actions and influence. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to let me know!

Rewrite vs. Canon: Fate: The Winx Saga

Alfea is a castle set in the beautiful mountains and valleys of...somewhere lol

Bloom does start out wearing red but quickly switches to blue after meeting Stella and developing a bit more if a fashion sense. She's still wearing wattpad edgy clothes as she's explicitly the tomboy

She still has anger issued but actively takes steps to control her temper after she ends up experiencing a few humbling events

Aisha wears green&turquoise and is a princess, with a mission to find a way to free the Pixies. Due to her calm nature everyone thinks she has it all together and the group therapist but it's slowly taking a toll on her leading to a breakdown. Everyone helps her recover and resolve to face their own problems and help her

Musa is an air fairy but using them to control sound and wants to be a musician, against her father's wishes. She wears purple and red; her arc is learning to be more open with her emotions; and she and Riven are enemies who gradually become friends, not love interests

Terra is played by a plus sized Latina and a female Specialist. She wears yellow (as that's a color missing in the original set up) and has the power to control rocks and minerals. Her arc is learning to be more considerate of others and not take everything so seriously

Flora is Terra's cousin and her personality is similar to the OG though she has more of a Eco/Hippie side and controls plants and animals. She wears pink&green. Her arc is learning to be a better fighter without sacrificing her heart.

Stella is played by a Latina and her arc is about dealing with her parents' divorce and her estranged relationship with her mother. She uses fashion partly as a coping mechanism and must learn to find better ways of coping. Just like her OG counterpart she is very friendly and bubbly but also somewhat of a ditz and enjoys fighting than studying. There's also a mini arc where she trains Flora how to use her powers more defensively.

Tecna is the brains of the group (and played by a Black girl). Her arc is learning that just because she has low empathy doesn't make her a cold unfeeling monster. Because of her similar powers over tech she has a connection to Beatrix

Beatrix is the first arc villain and has ice, electric and shadow powers. After her defeat she gets split into three entities becoming that world's incarnation of the Trix

The newly formed Trix give themselves names and vow to take revenge by enlisting into Cloud Tower, kicking off the events of S2.

The events of S2 is pretty much the plotline of cartoon s1; which means season 3 would bring on Valtor and Darkar.

There are male and nb/xenogender fairies; the same for witches and Specialists

Most of the TV show characters are there

The specialists are more than just love interests with Sky learning to be more responsible & considerate, Brandon learning to not follow Sky so blindly; Riven learning to be more healthy and kind; Timmy learning to be more assertive.

Helia and Nabu aren't introduced until s2-3; Nabu going against Darkar to save his kingdom and find his betrothed who turns out to be Aisha.

Actually let's switch around the pairings the guys and girls have different love interests instead of dating each other just cuz (how does StelTim sound?)

THE FASHIONS are far more individual and not midlife crisis incarnate; Bloom wears comfy/tomboy, Stella is Y2K and sporty; Flora is cottagecore; Aisha is adventurer/mermaidcore; Tecna is light academia; Musa is urban/Butch and Terra is goth. It's not strictly to those themes but a good bouncing spot

Another subplot is there are evil fairies and good witches and that the war between them isn't as black and white as the history books.

More 90s/2000s aesthetics we're talking clear color tech, neon, platform shoes, chokers, Snack Wraps, mcbling, bean bag chairs, Click Gems, you name it

And the most important part... TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE THE GIRLS DRESS IN GLITTERY OUTFITS AND HAVE ELEMENTAL WINGS

(Context)

Tama clings to Nimbus, her tail gently swaying about as she's introduced to the other.. what did her mom say, Avatars? They're all dressed in various shades of red, except for one girl, who was wearing blue and white.

They're all really nice, Tama decides, but she decides she likes Miss Tune the most, aside from Nimbus. It seems to exasperate her mom when Tune is the only one she greets verbally, to snickers from everyone else.

She would greet everyone else, say hello or hi like she was taught to, but she couldn't. Not when she kept on hearing the crying from someone named Pinky.

"Tama?"

Nimbus's voice makes Tama look at her, whereas she was looking up at the sky before. Her ears are pinned back, and her tail no longer swaying. Nimbus looks worried.

"What's wrong?" Nimbus tilts her head. "You're normally very talkative with new friends."

"She keeps crying.." Tama answers, looking down. "And it's making me sad."

The young kit misses the confused and slightly scared looks of the others.

"Who.. is crying, Tama?" Nimbus gently presses.

Tama's tail twitches. "She keeps saying that she didn't mean to, and that.. she didn't want to hurt anyone. But sometimes she stops crying and there's someone else.."

"Who else would that be?" Nimbus flicks an ear.

"Ec.. Eci.. Eco.." Tama furrows her brow before sighing. "I dunno."

"Do you know who is crying?" Her mom asks.

"The other person calls her Pinky." Tama answers, glancing up. She watches the others exchange looks. Nimbus sighs softly.

"Tama, I'm gonna go take you to meet two more people, okay? And I want you to tell them what you just told us."

○●○

Sparks sighs softly as he types into the chat box. He had very little hopes for this, in all honesty. The Adminspace had been closed since the Rebellion, and there had been something that happened a few days ago, and no one had heard anything.

He shakes his head before typing into it.

> I'm hoping to schedule an appointment. It's regarding Abyssal.

He looks it over before sending the message. He doubted he'd get an immediate response in all honesty, maybe in a few days he'd-

Sparks let's out a soft yelp and he feels a tug and suddenly he's in front of Manifest's desk. Her hair is a bit frazzled, but she still looks composed.

"You said you had something regarding Abyssal?"

Sparks blinks a few times before he nods. "I do.. I haven't heard from her in a while and.. a friend of mine said that they knew where she was, but they're being cryptic about it due to their Limits. I was hoping I could.. get some help."

Manifest is quiet for several moments before she nods. "We can help. We're looking for as well."

Sparks nods, making a point to not say that he knew.
