#like the perfect complementary pair in SO many ways

[3416]

1634 make me genuinely ill because there are just.... so few bonds in this sport where you look at them and go. that was 100% meant to happen like that and no one else could've slotted in. like yea, so many of players across the league form close bonds and friendships bc that's the nature of spending a whole part of your life sharing a common goal and space when you're like.. doing this team activity... and guys are constantly befriending ppl and moving on... but auston and mitch it's like. it's almost like THEY feel that they were supposed to have that bond... and go out of their way to reaffirm it at every turn... like they met and got along and loved each other immediately and were so excited to get to play hockey together only to NOT get to for a long while and while they waited, they ??? developed all these rituals. and these things together... their personal routines, things to communicate to each other that they have each other's backs and are building each other into their visions and superstitions and dreams, some of which we'll never know about (unless they'd so kindly like to tell us a la mitch's interview with cabbie where he says maybe some day he'll share the gifts auston's gotten him w the world. tell all book when mitch).. but their gloves and their handshakes and their warmups and even the way they walk into road games and it's jsut. like it's friendship, for sure, obviously. they get along off the ice and make each other laugh the most and have a good time, but it's also the inextricable linking of their own careers. BY THEIR OWN DOING. like they want their names jotted next to each other and that's PART of the chase for this greater goal. yes, they would have been talked about in tandem anyway bc they're out here being the best leafs ever and hitting milestones like 500 points.... 600 points... just weeks apart from each other season to season. but also it's their commitment to each other that makes them talked about too. it's commentators saying they love to play together bc they can see it. they've heard them talk about it. they watch it. "marner to matthews" "matthews to marner". they're always gonna know where each other are.... it makes me . feel. violent with love, lol. makes me feel like some things are definitely meant to be.

okay wait I find the TRC graphic novel major arcana tarot assignments are so interesting and I am assuming that MStief had a say in this, so let me share some quotes from her book about tarot for the individual card meanings. Tarot has all different meanings with similar themes, but I thought it'd be interesting to look at what stief thinks about these cards herself.

All quotes are from Illuminating the Prophecy by Maggie Stiefvater. I highly recommend the book if you're interest in tarot or just are obsessed with the series.

BLUE - JUSTICE "When you see the Justive card, it reminds you that you may have fudged the rules a little and got away with it, or you may have persuaded others that your dubious choice was a correct one, but the universe believes in an absolute right or wrong, and you will get what you deserve based upon that. This card is also a reminder that your reward or punishment is often unseen. A bad turn performed on someone else will haunt you years later, and likewise, an unnoticed kind event will create its own reward inside you. At the end of it, you will become the product of these actions: you are the Justice. There's an intense comfort to knowing that you have this control, especially if you feel your good intentions are being taken poorly." - pg. 41-42

ADAM - THE MAGICIAN "Regardless of who or what you believe in, the Magician is an extraordinary master of all trades, and he is resilient because no matter what the world throws at him, no matter how much he loses, he will always have the most powerful tool at his command: himself." pg. 21-22

GANSEY - THE CHARIOT "The duality that the Lovers card mutters about becomes a proper problem by the time the Chariot shows up in a reading. There are two sides to you, seemingly opposite, and you keep being thrown from one to the other. In many decks, this card depicts two beasts of different color pulling a chariot; when they agree on a direction, the chariot moves forward swiftly. When they disagree, the chariot grinds to a halt. You've ground to a halt... "The chariot's not moving because you can't figure out how to get yourself in line. You can't figure out which you you want to be. The Chariot isn't really about choice, though. It's about balance. You aren't cutting one of the beasts free so that you can move on without it. The chariot will move with only pone of them, but not as fast as if you found a way to make them both move in the same direction. The Chariot tells you that there is a way to satisfy the warring parts of you. Find your self-control, embrace your dark and light sides, and enjoy the ride." pg. 33-34

RONAN - THE LOVERS "This card can represent actual lov ers, and when it does, the love pictured is epic - the pairing pof two souls so complementary that it seems obvious that some greater power has designed them for each other. But it can also represent a duality inside you, and the complementary pairing it refers to is your inner self and your outer self. Just like in a great love affair, everything is perfect when both sides of you are working in harmony. And just like in a great love affair, the world crumbles when you war with yourself. The card speaks to the power of wholeness and knowing yourself." - pg. 31-32

NOAH - THE HANGED MAN "The Hanged Man is all about sacrifice - not a martyr's sacrifice, but a scholar's sacrifice. He goes not only willingly, but pleasantly toward his hanging, certain that the time spent in agony will be worth it... When this card shows up in your reading, it's a sign that whatever answer you seek is not going to simply be handed to you. You need to level up in some way, and it's going to require a genuine effort on your part. It doesn't mean that it requires hard work or a huge sum of money... It requires you to literally prostrate yourself on the altar of wisdom, holding yourself vulnerable, looking deep inside yourself for answers. You've got to let go and be willing to let knowledge and transformation take you." - pg. 43-44

Okay, now let's talk about smth positive, shall we?

Mammella! (or Golden Goose if you wish)💰🦢

Recently I think about them a lot. It's like a brainrot and I can't help it! They're just perfect together 💕 So today I wanna talk about them. Sorry, I've cloged the entire critical fandom up with them, I hope you're not mad at me for this 🥺👉👈

I've attached the Shipping Chart so it wouldn't be so empty right here 🎪 Credit: divider by @saradika-graphics

What are the cons of this pairing? Well, for starters, they definitely have a lot in common:

extroverts;

over-reactive;

evil but entertaining;

rich and royal, proud to be like this;

repulsion toward 'plebs' and those who are close with them (classistic asses, in short);

enjoying being in the spotlight (probably)?

As you can see they have similar worldviews and life priorities. Great chemistry could be built on this.

Also they seem to suit each other's preferences. From "Mastermind" we've grasped that Mammon likes royal rich women who wouldn't mind going out into town with him (i can see Stella enjoying this kind of activity). And Stella during conversation with her friends complained about Stolass being a boring stiff and having a scrawny twig ass; she clearly doesn't like his imp-fucking tendencies too (it's easy to guess Mammon have none of this).

There is visual compatibility as well. Their bodies are predominantly white which is basically an universal color. And the clothes/aesthetics - green for Mammon and pink for Stella - are complementary.

Besides I think they could bring something unusual into Hellaverse. I'll go from least to most interesting:

1) No twinks 🥢

It's not a secret Vivziepop adores twinks. They're her type or something because ALL of her OTPs (Stol!tzø, F!zzarozz!e, VoxVal, Angelhusk) contain at least one twink. And here we are having a 'woman x chubby man'. There's the beauty in their twinknessless, don't you think? Look, I have nothing against twinks. You're cool, guys, just a bit overrepresented in Hellaverse.

2) Royal x royal 👑

Also Vivziepop loves putting power dynamic into her ships. Stol!tzø, F!zzarozz!e, BeeTex (is that their ship name, right?) are quite obvious examples. Even Lucilith and Chaggie kinda fall into this category too. However, Mammon & Stella aren't like that at all. They were born nobles and would prefer to remain as ones forever. Yes, Mammon is one rank higher but come on, it's such a small difference.

3) Villain couple 🃏

There are a lot of antagonists in Helluva Boss. Almost as many as couples! So it surprises me these two elements haven't crossed paths yet.

4) Uplifting the stakes 🎰

Many peeps in the critical community would likely agree on two things:

Stella is a highly relevant antagonist; essentially, the greatest evil of the (Stol!tzø) story. But she's powerless at all points.

Mammon is a highly powerful antagonist, the most influential, authoritative and rich of all. But he's completely irrelevant for the main cast.

Therefore, if these characters united, they'd complement each other's villainous potential. Mammon - being interested in Stella - would have a better chance of noticing the main characters. And Stella - being under Mammon's protection - could've gained more resources for her revenge on Stolass and the company. Moreover, it would be extremely difficult for them to defeat her.

Finally, I'm gonna list the tropes they match to:

Size difference. It's not that big of the deal (pun is unintended) but I know a lot of people like this sort of stuff;

Celebrity Power Couple (kinda?);

Birds of a Feather;

Unholy Matrimony

That's the potential I see in this couple. However, I know they'll never be canon. It's for the better though! This way they could never be ruined for me.

Anyway...

If you find this pairing interesting then maybe you'd like to visit my main blog. There are a few arts of them. Recently I've posted some suggestive content with a poll so you still have time to vote if you want to.

Thanks for your attention, folks!

[farshootergotme]

2,4,9,15,16, 26 for Dick Grayson?

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Not being too specific, his kindness. His willingness to help others, his genuine care for the well-being of the people he saves, the way even without the mask he goes out of his way to help others... It's amazing, and one of the main reasons I love his character so much.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I haven't really thought about that before, but I think I'd want to see him in Harry Potter just to figure out what house he'd be in. I just can't decide.

Oh! It'd also be cool to see him in ATLA. I don't think I've seen an Avatar AU with him in it yet.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Well, on one hand he's a great person, responsible and he'd probably be a great roommate. On the other...I really don't want to get blown up.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Canon I've gotta say Dickkory, no doubt. They're the perfect match, so good for each other. They have very complementary personalities and are the ones who've helped the other grow, whether DC will accept that or not. They're both also so sweet when they're together, they deserve that. A true pity DC didn't stick with them like they did with Clark and Lois.

Fanon, I'd have to go with Birdflash. Before I really got into DC I already had a liking for the pairing, and now, having learned more about their relationship in the comics, I can say they're a good pair. However, I don't like the ship to be just romantic. I like the ship when you can still tell they're best friends even if they were to date. I guess it'd be more of a queer-platonic thing with them?

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

I have so many ships that could fill this category, but I'll say Sladick. It just makes me uncomfortable to see them together as a pair, not to mention most of the times I've seen them paired it was portrayed as a toxic or abusive relationship. And it gets even more uncomfortable for me when the ship is between TT 03 Robin and Slade.

26. What's something the character has done you can't get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

I have three things:

Funny: That one time he licked a weird substance that was on the ground (which turned out to be heroine). Would love to know where he learnt that from, did he learnt it from Bruce or on his own?

Good: The time when he sang to a child as they slept in his arms. I thought it was such a sweet moment, I can't get over that.

Sad: And finally, when he curled up on the ground when Bruce leaves him alone in the cave, after that moment in which he punches and blames Dick for Jason's death. It broke my heart to see him like that.

Sorry for ending this on a sad note, but thank you for the ask!

OK IM ANSWERING ASKS!! open for some delightful streamer au headcanons

Anonymous asked:

ohh y'all mentioned how crowley / aziraphale would react to edits and ... oh god the chaos of a media share stream crowley would ABSOLUTELY be swarmed with simping clips, no matter how good he thinks he is at copyright striking oh and song requests after singing reveal oh ANDDD things in French that are just. vile (complementary) he would probably not do media shares for a looooooong while after that lmao

this has such chat jukebox energy oh my god. i love media streams, they're insanity, which makes them perfect for crowley.

and poor sod, when he finally thinks he's escaped the last of the simp clips, chat starts sending him seemingly "innocuous" songs to play. good old fashioned lover boy. pale blue eyes. a nightingale sang. HMMM there seems to be a theme here........

@genderlessjacky asked:

okay okay "How Long Can We Protect Aziraphale From Dying game" is amazing , love it , no criticisms at all . but what if we go the other way Aziraphale is a GOD at COD or Halo or whatnot lets just say before he became a cozy streamer , he used to play like a crapton of shooter games when he was younger or when they came out and played them for YEARS in his younger ages until he got bored and started baking and reading and stuff , discovered it was his passion and continues doing it , streams it ectect and when this happens everyone expects like "Omg he is gonna get killed in the first 5 seconds but ends up carrying the entire team to victory and everyone is like "WHAT." so confused that this innocent , plump old angelic man who cooks and reads and barates anyone who swears , got 20 kills in a row in COD?? while not swearing and barating anyone in chat who does?? is my life a lie???????? Bonus : Crowley , Anathama and Newton had no knowledge of this. at all. like he just assumed that they already knew he was really good at this and when they ask him ab it he goes like "hm? i thought you already knew?" and the others going "WELL CLEARLY NOT."

aziraphale is a man of many talents 😂 i personally can't picture him enjoying games that revolve around killing and hurting people, but i love when he can constantly surprise everyone and crowley with out of pocket talents and hobbies ehehehe

Anonymous asked:

I would like to suggest the Western Hognose as a most patient and cuddly snake to be delivered during snake delivery, they are funky little tubes with no neck and cute upturned snoots

UGH THEY'RE SO CUTE I WANNA KISS EM. i drew crowley's snake as a big black python but now i can't stop imagining him with a little guy that hides up his sleeve while he games and is small enough that people might not notice it immediately......... aziraphale's hand reaching into frame with a guy wrapped around it, and they just kind of sit there half holding hands while they wait for the snake to slither from one wrist to another.

Your art inspires a hc…. Someone (Crowley, probably) gets Aziraphale a pair of purple round glasses and when the do streams together they match

omg aziraphale with blue light glasses that look like his little reading glasses from the show 🥺

@samsteacup asked:

So Streamer AU won't leave my mind. So I gotta share this. I understand if you don't put it into your ff, it's your story but your followers might enjoy it. :D 1. Aziraphale collaborates in Crowley's stream where they wanna play a game. (some shooter) and they set up Aziraphale character together but Aziraphale spends way too long to perfect him. Crowley is all patient and all and then when they start playing Aziraphale just can't handle the controls for the love of god. So Crowley helps him and it's a fucking disaster, he's furiously protecting Aziraphale in game while simultaneously trying to explain to him what to do. But Crowley is incredibly patient, even when they lose because Aziraphale accidentally shoots someone from their own team. The chat loses it because he usually is so short tempered in streams. Aziraphale is still a bit overwhelmed and frustrated that he completely ignores the chat. Which is good because people are shipping them to death and writing the wildest (naughtiest) theories of what already happened to make Crowley so gentle and patient. So Crowley just bans them all. 2. Another collaboration but this time on Aziraphale's channel. They are baking Christmas cookies together while talking about the holidays, gift buying, songs and other cute traditions/Christmas memories. While preparing the dough Crowley is a bit too aggressive while kneeding the wet with the dry ingredients and he gets a cloud of flour into his face. Aziraphale chuckles and cleans his face with some wash cloth. They continue baking and having a great time. Though Crowley constantly steals the leftover dough from Aziraphale, after he punches out the forms with the cutter. While waiting for the cookies to bake and cool, they start making the icing and drink wine. Crowley kinda overdoes it with the wine and gets a bit tipsy. So at some point he just dips his finger in icing and holds it to Aziraphale's face, who gets all flustered but eventually eats the icing of Crowley's finger. (Which will definitely not end up a GIF that forever haunts both of them in their streams) When they finally start icing the cookies, Crowley is not just tipsy anymore but properly drunk. So half of the Santa cookies get penises or boobs or both. And Aziraphale just rolls his eyes, says "You're being silly" (yes, exactly in that voice!) and takes away the wine from Crowley.

what the fuck im so FED

crowley switching on his patience to help aziraphale in a new situation like 😭 "i won't leave you on your own"

IT SOUNDS LIKE CROWLEY JUST STRAIGHT UP FORGETS THEY'RE LIVE and gets caught up just havin a fun time oh my lord!! 😭😭😭

@squirrellegion26 asked:

hiiiiii hi hi SIR IM ADDRESSING UR STREAMER AU. im in love with itttttt buttt what if what if what if crowley’s head pops up in one of azi’s streams like a frickin cat over the counter and chat is like “ohhh myyy goodness he’s adorable!!!” and azi’s like “oh, hello, my dear” and then crowley’s like “see ya peace” and then slinks back to whatever dark hole he slithered out of anyway SO MUCH LOVE TO UR AU I LOVE IT I CANT WAIT UNTIL UR FIC COMES OUT I LOVE U OKAY BYR

thpfht it's giving

Anonymous asked:

I just found your good omens streamer au and I'm instantly obsessed, I love the concept and ideas so much. This scenario instantly came into my head aswell and I wanted to share!! Like Crowley just did a really long stream and wants to go sleep and doesn't end up fully stopping the stream by accident, so the viewers see him after he thinks he ended stream and he just calls out "Angel, I need hugs now" and just walks off without knowing the stream is still going. And everyone in chat goes crazy trying to let anyone know the stream is still going but also with the fact they saw Crowley switch to his soft side so quickly!! And either Anathema calls Crowley to tell him it's still going and he runs back cursing to turn it off... OR...Aziraphale goes into the room to maybe collect the mug of coffee he made for Crowley and finds the stream still going and the chat going MAD over it trying to get his attention but also freaking out that it's Aziraphale.

oh lord have mercy on m for all this second hand anxiety but

you GOT ME with the mask switching from streamer mode to soft tired angel hugs mode, i'm punching myself in the face

i imagine that footage of aziraphale walking onto crowley's room for mug collection is like cryptid footage that occasionally circulates the gossip subreddits even after crowley has deleted the vod

Anonymous asked:

i literally just found your streamer AU and i have read EVERY MORSEL YOU HAVE ABOUT IT. i am so excited to read the fic when you’re finished with it! all i can think about is Aziraphale sliding things under Crowleys door if its locked while he’s streaming. and its the most random things every time, and of course it gets turned into a compilation posted somewhere. i just think that idea is silly. AGAIN I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS AND EVERYTHING YOU SHARE ABOUT IT!! 💕

hthfph THANK YOU FOR SHARING HEADCANONS i mean it, it's so fun and silly and i love that everyone is getting into this together ✨

I know Cass is a Jedi knight, Kehl is Sith Warrior so what fighting styles did they choose and how does it fit them?

Thank youuuu for reminding me to answer this, and apologies for leaving you hanging there, Dragon Age ate me ^^;

Cas is a Guardian, so he just has the single lightsaber. His focus, both in SWTOR and across universes in general, is all about protection. (To quote a line from Veilguard, "We protect those who cannot protect themselves", yeah he's perfect as a Shadow Dragon I can't even, ANYWAY that's a tangent) He concentrates on defence/survival, both his own and of anyone else who might need it, so he's always right in the thick of things, taking the heat off others. He will also go out of his way to avoid outright killing an enemy, so he's gotten very good at non-lethal incapacitation. While he does use the Force in combat, he's not particularly powerful in that regard, so it's generally in the sense of pushing his way to where he needs to be, and creating Force-shields to deflect enemy attacks.

I know you'd asked about lightsabers too so this is his (with bonus Scourge) drawn by the wonderful @zhakyria. The hilt is enhanced with Rakata tech that Cas added, because he's got a fascination with them. The blade is a gold core with a green glow, which is a nod to his original incarnation in Wildstar and the green/gold aesthetic of the Eldan and their technology.

Khel is a Marauder, with dual lightsabers, and his style is all about elegance and precision. He focuses on fluid, snake-like strikes, darting in to make his attack and then dancing out of range again. While he's even less Force-attuned than Cas, he does use it to enhance his speed and reflexes on the battlefield. He's not built for the 'raw power' methods many Sith favour - especially considering he's Light IV - so he uses his natural agility instead, accomplishing his objectives with a minimum of carnage and casualties.

Both of his lightsabers were standard red through his early days as a Sith, wanting to show some deference to the traditions he was proud to be a part of. After the, ah, 'falling out' with Darth Baras, Khel decided to visually set himself apart, and crafted two new lightsabers for himself. The complementary hilt designs reflect his personal style of elegance, still with enough red glowy details to say he's Sith. The main hand blade is a black core with a burnt orange glow, which is a very me reference to the ancient Egyptian inspo/aesthetic Khel started with (black for the silt along the Nile, orange for the surrounding desert). His offhand blade is white-gold, which I just thought paired well with the other lightsaber and re-emphasises Khel's lightsidedness.

This was really fun to put down on paper (er, screen) rather than just having it in my brain, so thank you!

sleepyhead

Summary: Derek helps the BAU's newest agent get some well-deserved rest after a tough case

Derek Morgan and F!OC (Dr. Aaliyah Hadid)

TW: mentions of dead bodies and dismemberment but only briefly at the beginning

A/N: I’ve been posting some incorrect quotes with Morgan and Hadid on here and wrote this fic as a tribute lol. I’m probably gonna write her with Emily next!

It was a bad one this time. The number of battered bodies and severed limbs she had to see within the past week was frankly atrocious. She just started working at the BAU and everyone else told her it was normal to feel disjointed and for the cases to be gruesome. But to their surprise, Aaliyah handled them without much hesitation, offering her input whenever necessary as the horrific details of the case melted away. After what she’s lived through, she would become frustrated whenever her feelings creep in and mess with her head, but she could usually control herself. It wasn’t effortless, but to any normal person, it didn’t affect her.

But to the nation’s best profilers, something was up. If one or two of them asked she could have fended them off but they were all extremely concerned. Emily, Garcia, and JJ were extremely persistent and would always check in with her, especially when she would isolate herself from everyone else on the jet. Hotch would do the same, just back within the private confines of his office where he knew nobody else would eavesdrop on their conversation. Despite their friendly discourse, Spencer would help comfort her after each case when they were back at their apartments, one of the benefits of having a gentleman of a colleague living right across from you. And she didn’t get a chance to have many in-depth conversations with Gideon after she joined the BAU, but he seemed to respect her enough not to bombard her with questions directly.

Aaliyah was grateful she had a group of colleagues who cared, but sometimes they cared too much. They didn’t need to go out of their way for her. Being continuously asked if she was alright wasn’t how she liked getting attention. She was just doing her job, but they were probably going to continue doing this so she wouldn’t be scared away from the job. It’s not every day the Unit Chief’s Ph.D. protégé decides to work an extremely traumatizing job when she has the credentials to work wherever she wanted. Of course, that didn’t stop them from caring of course, which she admired.

Case in point, Derek Morgan. She hasn’t known him for long and simply knew him as charismatic and competent with an ambiguous flirtationship with their lovable tech analyst. Despite this extremely superficial first impression, he was incredibly friendly to her from the second they met. He, alongside Garcia and Emily, made sure she felt like she was part of the team whether it was inviting her for drinks or get-togethers after work. But Morgan was one of the agents who would go out of his way to socialize with her and get to know her more. He would have conversations with her on the jet, during the elevator, by her work desk. Any spare moment where he had the chance to dig deeper into who the elusive Dr. Aaliyah Hadid really was. She didn’t mind his presence and couldn’t blame him for his subtle interrogation, trust was earned after all and she was a newbie who went out of her way to hide her background.

Despite their frequent interactions, it was still a surprise to everyone how quickly the two of them hit it off. At first glance, they seemed like totally different people. Morgan was a suave extrovert and Aaliyah was more of an introverted nerd. But their personalities and senses of humor seemed to blend perfectly, like a perfect pair of complementary colors. She was even surprised to find that she looked forward to his company, especially during cases.

“We meet again, Hadid. It’s a shame we never get to see each other at the same time,” he would remark at a crime scene.

Aaliyah would roll her eyes but play along. “It really is, and I hate to do so, but I have trace evidence to analyze. Hope our schedules line up later, Agent.”

Despite enjoying his company, along with the rest of the team, all she could think about at the moment was lying in her bed, covered in her blankets, and rewatching classic black and white movies while eating mint chocolate chip ice cream.

“Grhmm,” she mumbled in her seat. Her curly hair swished across her shoulder as she tossed and turned in her seat. It wasn’t a nightmare, but it sure was annoying. And she should have tied her hair up or out of her face, it was interrupting her beauty sleep.

Morgan, sitting next to her noticed her discomfort. She usually didn’t fall asleep on the private jet but she couldn’t help herself this time, and it made her realize how claustrophobic it was. This was especially the case when she was surrounded by agents who were already concerned.

“You alright, Princess?”

“Yeah,” she replied, her gaze unfocused. “I should have brought a blanket or a pillow or something.” She yawned, tempted to stretch her limbs. Morgan looked at Hotch and Emily across from him and sighed.

“No, you’re not. You’re tired, for the sake of our sanity, please take a nap so we don’t have to deal with your grumpiness later.” Aaliyah rolled her eyes.

“Don’t you think I’m trying?” she snaps. She adjusts herself in her seat and curls her body inward into the small space. She sighs, maybe she should try to be a little more polite to her new colleague. “I’m sorry, this case was rough.”

Morgan’s gaze softens. “I know.” He hesitates for a moment before asking, “Do you wanna rest your pretty little head on my shoulder instead, Doc? It might be more comfortable.”

She raised an eyebrow, and shook her head. “No, the last thing I need is to bother you while squirming in my seat.”

“Aaliyah. It’s not a bother. You’re on this team now, and if there’s something I can do to help you I will.”

She mutters under her breath. “I’m definitely gonna regret this.”

Morgan laughs. “Worry about that later, okay?”

Aaliyah begrudgingly leaned into his shoulder, cushioning her head in the crevice between his neck and shoulder. Morgan readjusted his posture to accommodate her. She felt herself relax instantly, feeling her mind clear from her earlier dreadful thoughts. Unconciously, her arms began to wrap around his upper body to anchor herself to his warmth that concentrated from the cool AC being emitted from the jet. Hotch and Emily barely hid their smirks. Morgan, on the other hand, smiled and wrapped an arm around her to bring her closer in.

He put back his earbuds in and she still heard the buzz of a song she couldn’t quite recall the name of. She should have been annoyed, but instead hummed in satisfaction. He had pretty decent music taste. She dozed off soon after, reconfirming an extremely obvious conclusion.

SSA Derek Morgan was a pretty decent guy.

Halo Engagement Rings & Titanium Wedding Rings: A Modern Match Made in Heaven

When it comes to celebrating love, the perfect ring speaks volumes. Whether you're preparing to pop the question or planning your wedding bands, two popular choices stand out in the world of fine jewelry: halo engagement rings and titanium wedding rings. Stylish, meaningful, and practical, these rings bring together tradition and modernity in all the right ways.

Let’s take a closer look at why halo engagement rings and titanium wedding rings are capturing hearts everywhere.

What Is a Halo Engagement Ring?

A halo engagement ring features a center stone—usually a diamond—surrounded by a "halo" of smaller stones. This design enhances the sparkle and makes the center stone appear larger, more brilliant, and more luxurious.

Why People Love Halo Rings:

Dramatic Sparkle: The halo effect maximizes brilliance, especially in natural light.

Larger Appearance: The surrounding stones give the illusion of a bigger center gem—great if you want that wow-factor without upsizing your budget.

Endless Variety: Halos can be round, cushion, oval, or even pear-shaped. You can choose a traditional white diamond or add personality with colored stones like sapphires or pink diamonds.

Vintage or Modern: Halo designs range from vintage-inspired to sleek and contemporary, making them perfect for all styles.

Whether you opt for a classic round diamond with a white gold halo or a rose gold setting with a morganite center, this design has timeless appeal with a touch of glamour.

Enter Titanium: The Unsung Hero of Wedding Rings

When it comes to wedding bands, titanium is often the go-to for couples who want something strong, sleek, and built to last.

Titanium is a lightweight metal known for its exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and modern gray-silver tone. It’s perfect for people with active lifestyles or those who work with their hands daily.

Top Benefits of Titanium Wedding Rings:

Strength & Durability: Titanium is incredibly tough—almost three times stronger than steel—so your ring can handle life’s wear and tear.

Hypoallergenic: Titanium is skin-friendly and won’t cause allergic reactions, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin.

Low Maintenance: Unlike some metals, titanium doesn’t tarnish or need frequent polishing. It keeps its sleek look with minimal effort.

Affordability: Titanium offers a premium look without the premium price tag, making it a smart choice for budget-conscious couples.

Unique Style Options: Matte finishes, carbon fiber inlays, hammered textures, and even black titanium options make these rings far from boring.

Titanium wedding rings are especially popular among men, but they’re becoming increasingly favored by women, too—particularly in matching sets or minimalist styles.

The Beauty of Pairing Halo and Titanium

At first glance, halo engagement rings and titanium wedding rings might seem like an unusual match. After all, one is known for sparkle and elegance, while the other is celebrated for strength and simplicity. But that contrast is exactly what makes them work so beautifully together.

Many couples today are embracing individuality in their ring choices. A bride might fall in love with a dazzling halo engagement ring, while the groom prefers the modern edge of a matte titanium band—and that’s perfectly okay.

You can even create a sense of unity with subtle details, like matching engravings, complementary finishes (e.g., polished and matte), or shared elements like gemstone accents.

Tips for Choosing the Right Rings

Here are a few friendly suggestions to help you on your ring journey:

Try Different Styles: Sometimes the ring you think you want isn’t the one that steals your heart. Explore different halo shapes, band styles, and titanium finishes.

Think About Lifestyle: If you or your partner work with your hands or are very active, consider how your rings will hold up over time. Titanium is great for durability, while halo rings can be crafted with secure settings to protect those precious stones.

Customization Is Key: Don’t be afraid to ask your jeweler about custom options. From personalized engravings to choosing your perfect stone, customization can make your rings uniquely yours.

Mix & Match Confidently: Don’t stress about matching metals or styles. Modern couples often mix gold engagement rings with titanium bands—it’s all about what feels right for you.

Final Thoughts: Love That Lasts

Your engagement and wedding rings are more than just jewelry—they’re symbols of your love, your journey, and your future. Whether you're drawn to the stunning brilliance of a halo engagement ring or the rugged elegance of a titanium wedding band, your rings should reflect who you are, both as individuals and as a couple.

Thoughts on Roulxs and the Weather Duo as a 'Throuple'

Warning: SPOILERS!!

I just started playing Chapter 3 and I've been losing my shit almost all night at Roulxs Kaard's latest antics. I haven't played through the entirety of Ch. 3 so I don't have the full picture yet, but I wanted to geek out anyway.

When players are introduced to Lanino and Elnina, they present themselves as a happy, picture perfect couple. Their aesthetics are complementary. Their opening attack in their Boss fight features a sappy, kissing couple. Their motto is "The weather is better together." For lack of a better description, they come across as the social media couple that go everywhere together, shower the other with excessive compliments, and have an unnerving layer of surface level flash over substance. They feel like a bickering sitcom couple that's dubious as to how happy they really are together.

Then Lanino asks who has the more impressive attack. No matter who the player picks out of the pair, it leads to an inflated ego and their attack icon takes up the majority of the attack field. They gloat, showboat, and brag to the degree they belittle their partner and drive them away from the fight. In the first Green Room break, the player can talk to both halves of the Duo and are confided in that they're nothing without their sweetheart. If the player tries to reassure or steer the Duo back together by repeating their mantra, both Lanino and Elnina try to puff themselves up with confident self talk that they're better off as a solo act.

Enter Roulxs Kaard. When he first appears, Kaard was originally vying for the Big Boss' second in command spot as always. He immediately shifts gears and zeroes in on the Weather Duo. He asks if both are single during their first on-screen Boss fight. The way he phrases this is interesting since he sees them as a do not separate unit but later actions show he's not averse to an opening with just one or the other.

He swoops in as the loser rebound the minute they break up. Presumably, Lanino or Elnina immediately turning around and entering a relationship with Roulxs was an attempt to drum up petty jealousy. Though, where one of the Duo sees him as an easy drama stirring stick, he cuts them both off and announces they're a throuple now.

The Duo isn't sure how to proceed because they want to get back together, but they also think the other is honestly interested in pursuing Roulxs. The Duo have a layer of passive aggressiveness to them. They probably break up once or twice a day with the expectation that they'll smooth things over later and immediately snap back to 'domestic' bliss. Where other temporary boyfriends, girlfriends, and love interests were easily disposable or steamrolled, Roulxs is too dense to read the room or understand this dysfunctional dynamic. This is further emboldened and doubled down by the Duo having very crap communication with the other.

The player finds Roulxs happily seated between the two, puppeting their hands, and speaking for them both. Neither one has really given their honest opinion of him or finds an opportunity to do so. Roulxs finally wins at his gambit of declare something is true with so much confidence and assertiveness that someone finally buys it. He forced his way into Lanino and Elnina's relationship and is attached to both like a wad of gum stuck in someone's hair.

From an allegory perspective, I love this so much. There are so many horror stories about couples opening their relationship or trying polyamory instead of working on learning how to openly and healthfully communicate with each other. New people are brought into an already dysfunctional relationship as a bandaid or means to avoid existing issues between the main couple.

While the Weather Duo weren't looking for or even want a third, Roulxs forcing the dynamic reflects real life couples stubbornly maintaining a poly dynamic where it really doesn't work and shouldn't exist instead of addressing the real issues. They'd rather hide, deflect, and try to find solutions with a whole new person rather than repair or work on things with their main partner.

That's just how I'm currently reading this throuple made in hell. My take may change as I get further into the story. Its more that I'm thrilled to see a poly dynamic pop up somewhere and in something meaningful and well known at that! So far, its been a mix of thoughtful, funny, and absurd that these games bring to most topics in general. Heh...

I may add this to my list of stuff I want to make a video on! It's just gonna be awhile since I want to finish Chapter 3 and this is a pretty quick, sloppy collection on what thoughts I have at the moment.

Choosing the Perfect Names for Twin Cats: Why It Matters Naming twin cats isn’t just a fun activity—it’s an important decision that shapes their identity and your relationship with them. When you bring home a pair of kittens, their names become part of your daily vocabulary and significantly impact how others perceive their personalities. The right twin cat names create a special connection between your feline duo while reflecting their individual traits and shared bond. Many pet parents underestimate how names influence the way we interact with our cats. Studies show that cats actually recognize their names, responding to them approximately 50-70% of the time when called. This recognition makes thoughtful name selection even more crucial for twin cats who need to distinguish their individual identities. Twin cat names should balance complementary qualities while allowing each cat to maintain its unique personality. Your cats will carry these names throughout their 12-18 year lifespan, so choosing names with staying power prevents potential naming regret down the road. Names that are too trendy or complex might seem clever initially but can become tiresome after repeating them thousands of times. The best twin cat names often share a thematic connection without being too similar in sound. Cats respond better to names with distinct phonetic patterns, which helps prevent confusion when calling one cat versus the other. Veterinary professionals recommend selecting names with different ending sounds to help your cats differentiate their individual names. We’ve found that successful twin cat names typically fall into several categories: complementary pairs (like “Sunny and Shadow”), famous duos (such as “Bonnie and Clyde”), or thematic connections (like “Dash and Bolt”). Your choice eventually reflects not just your cats’ personalities but also your own interests, creativity, and the special bond you share with your feline companions. 10 Classic Pairs for Twin Cat Names Looking for perfect names for your feline twins? Classic pairs offer timeless appeal and instant recognition that makes naming your ever-changing duo both fun and meaningful. Abbott and Costello Abbott and Costello represents one of comedy’s most enduring partnerships, making these names perfect for playful twin cats. The duo became famous for their “Who’s on First?” routine, which mirrors the sometimes confusing but always entertaining antics of cat siblings. These names work especially well for cats with contrasting personalities—perhaps one is more serious while the other is the constant prankster. Thing 1 and Thing 2 Thing 1 and Thing 2 from Dr. Seuss’s beloved “The Cat In The Hat” provide instantly recognizable names for mischievous twin cats. These blue-haired characters are known for creating chaos and having identical appearances, making them ideal names for kittens who love getting into trouble together. Your friends will immediately understand the reference when your cats race around the house knocking things over. Tweedledee and Tweedledum Tweedledee and Tweedledum from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” offer charming names for cats who are nearly identical or inseparable. These literary twins were known for their contradictory nature and matching outfits, perfect for feline siblings who mirror each other’s behaviors. Their whimsical quality adds a touch of literary sophistication to your cats’ identities. Tom and Jerry Tom and Jerry might seem ironic since they’re traditionally cat and mouse, but they make excellent names for two cats who chase each other around. The playful rivalry between these cartoon characters reflects the sometimes competitive relationship between feline siblings. These names work particularly well for cats who engage in friendly wrestling matches or playful pursuits. Bonnie and Clyde Bonnie and Clyde bring a touch of rebellious spirit to your twin cats, especially if they’re partners in crime around your home. This infamous outlaw duo suits cats who work together to knock items off shelves or steal treats from the kitchen. Their names carry a sense of adventure and mischief that many cat owners find perfectly describes their furry troublemakers. Famous Duos From Literature Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet offers a romantic pairing for cats who share a special bond, drawn from Shakespeare’s tragic love story. These names work beautifully for cats who constantly cuddle and groom each other, showing their affection openly.

Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series provide modern literary names perfect for cats with a magical connection. These names suit cats who seem to communicate in their own special language or who tackle adventures together. The worldwide recognition of these characters means your cats’ names will be understood and appreciated by visitors of all ages. Iconic Pairs From Movies and TV Batman and Robin Batman and Robin embody the classic ever-changing duo concept, ideal for cats with a leader-follower relationship. If one of your cats always takes charge while the other follows along on adventures, these superhero names capture that ever-changing perfectly. These names from DC Comics carry recognition across generations and work especially well for black and colorful cats. Thelma and Louise Thelma and Louise from the groundbreaking 1991 film make perfect names for two female cats who share an unbreakable bond. These characters represent friendship, loyalty, and a free spirit that many cat owners see in their pets. The road trip theme suits cats who enjoy exploring windows, high perches, or outdoor enclosures together. Timon and Pumbaa Timon and Pumbaa from Disney’s “The Lion King” provide playful names for cats with complementary personalities. These characters embody the “hakuna matata” (no worries) philosophy, making them perfect for laid-back cats who enjoy lounging together.

For pop culture enthusiasts, Bart and Lisa provides a recognizable duo inspired by The Simpsons that works particularly well for a brother-sister cat pair with contrasting personalities. These playful combinations add an element of fun to your cats’ identities while maintaining that satisfying rhyming quality that makes twin names so appealing. 7 Complementary Twin Cat Names Based on Appearance Choosing names that highlight your cats’ distinctive physical traits creates an instant visual connection for everyone who meets them. These appearance-based twin names celebrate what makes each kitty unique while maintaining a perfect pairing. Light and Dark Contrasts Cats with contrasting coat colors present perfect naming opportunities. “Day and Night” works brilliantly for a light-colored cat paired with a dark counterpart, creating an immediate visual association. “Sun and Moon” offers another celestial option that captures the essence of light and dark fur contrasts while maintaining a thematic connection. For a dramatic pairing with a white cat and a black companion, “Lightning and Thunder” creates a powerful natural phenomenon theme that highlights their color opposition. Bright and Muted Combinations Some cat pairs feature one with vibrant coloring alongside another with more subdued tones. “Rainbow and Mist” creates a beautiful imagery contrast for a colorful cat paired with a more muted-colored companion. “Jelly and Jam” offers a sweet food-inspired option for cats with vibrant and understated colors, reflecting their complementary but distinct appearances. These name combinations acknowledge color intensity differences while maintaining a cohesive thematic connection. Patterned and Solid Duos When one cat sports distinctive patterns while the other has a solid coat, their names can playfully acknowledge this difference. “Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum” works wonderfully for cats with different coat patterns, drawing from literary inspiration while maintaining a matched pair. “Patches and Solid” directly addresses their coat distinctions in a straightforward, descriptive manner. “Spots and Plain” similarly highlights pattern differences while creating an instantly recognizable pair identity. Color-Based Classic Pairs The classic “Yin and Yang” perfectly suits a black and white cat duo, representing balance and harmony while visually matching their appearance. “Oreo and Cookie” offers a sweet treat-inspired alternative for black and white cats, with the familiar cookie’s distinct colors matching their coats. For cats with mixed gray and white fur, “Salt and Pepper” provides an immediately recognizable pairing that reflects their speckled appearance. Warm and Cool Tones “Ginger and Snowflake” creates a beautiful temperature contrast for an orange tabby paired with a white cat. “Cinnamon and Alba” offers a more sophisticated alternative, with Alba meaning “white” in Latin, perfectly describing a warm-toned and cool-toned pair. “Mocha and Cream” works wonderfully for brown and white cats, creating a delicious coffee-inspired pairing that highlights their complementary colors. Size Difference Pairs When your cats differ significantly in size, their names can playfully acknowledge this contrast. “Goliath and David” references the famous biblical tale while perfectly capturing a large cat paired with a smaller companion. “Hulk and Pixie” creates a modern pop culture reference that instantly communicates their size difference. “Bullwinkle and Rocky” or “Shrek and Donkey” both highlight size disparities while connecting the cats through beloved character relationships. Personality-Based Contrasts Sometimes appearance extends beyond physical traits to include how cats carry themselves. “Batman and Robin” works wonderfully for a confident, bold cat paired with a more timid sidekick. “Popeye and Olive” captures a similar ever-changing with a strong, assertive cat alongside a more delicate companion. For cats with distinctly different temperaments, “Bender and Fry” from Futurama reflects contrasting personalities while maintaining a beloved character connection. 9 Twin Cat Names From Mythology and Folklore Mythological and folklore-inspired names add depth and character to your twin cats’ identities.

Doc and Marty invoke the adventure-seeking pair from “Back to the Future,” perfect for curious cats who explore your home together. Beauty and the Beast suits pairs where one cat has delicate features while the other appears more rugged or imposing. David and Goliath provides an excellent naming solution for cats with noticeable size differences, celebrating both the smaller cat’s spirit and the larger cat’s impressive stature. 6 Food-Inspired Names for Twin Cats Finding the perfect names for your twin cats can be as delicious as your favorite meal.

Each kitten has unique traits—one might be constantly napping while the other bounces off walls. These distinct temperaments offer perfect inspiration for names that truly fit each cat. For instance, an energetic cat paired with a laid-back sibling might inspire names that reflect this contrast, making their names meaningful reflections of who they are. Choose Names That Complement Each Other Finding names that naturally pair together creates a harmonious connection between your feline twins. We’ve found that complementary names like “Salt & Pepper,” “Cinnamon & Sugar,” or “Navy & Blue” acknowledge both their bond and their individuality. These natural pairings sound pleasing when called together yet allow each cat to maintain its own identity, striking the perfect balance for twin naming. Use Themes or Matching Concepts Themed names add an extra layer of fun to the naming process while creating an instant connection between your cats. We love food-inspired duos like “Peanut Butter & Jelly” or cartoon character pairs such as “Bugs and Daffy.” Celestial combinations like “Luna & Leo” also work wonderfully for cats with a special connection. Selecting a theme that resonates with you ensures the names feel right and creates a cohesive story for your feline family. Reflect Their Appearance Physical characteristics provide excellent inspiration for twin cat names. We suggest looking at their coat colors, patterns, or distinctive markings for naming ideas. Pairs like “Stripe & Spot” work perfectly for cats with different coat patterns, while “Ginger & Spice” might suit cats with varying shades of orange fur. This approach creates names that are not only cute but also descriptively appropriate for each cat’s unique appearance. Take Your Time Rushing the naming process often leads to regret later. We advise spending several days with your new kittens before finalizing their names. Watching how they interact, noting their habits, and understanding their relationship dynamics will help you select names that truly fit. The perfect names will feel right when you say them, matching both their personalities and your connection with them, creating a naming choice you’ll be happy with for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions How important is it to choose the right names for twin kittens? Choosing the right names for twin kittens is very important as it shapes their identity and your relationship with them. Cats can recognize their names, so thoughtful selection helps distinguish their identities. The perfect names create a special connection while reflecting each cat’s individual traits. Your chosen names will be used daily for years, making this decision more significant than it might initially seem. What are some classic twin cat name pairs? Classic twin cat name pairs include “Abbott and Costello” for playful cats, “Thing 1 and Thing 2” for mischievous siblings, “Tweedledee and Tweedledum” for identical cats, “Salt and Pepper” for contrasting personalities, and “Batman and Robin” for a leader-follower dynamic. Other timeless options include “Romeo and Juliet,” “Mario and Luigi,” and “Peanut Butter and Jelly,” all chosen to reflect unique personalities and relationships. Should twin cat names sound similar or different? Twin cat names should be complementary without being too similar in sound. While rhyming names like “Chloe & Zoe” create an instant connection, names that sound too alike might confuse both the cats and humans. The best approach is to choose names with a thematic connection (like “Sun and Moon”) while ensuring each name has a distinctive sound to help cats recognize their individual names. What are good naming strategies for cats with different appearances? For cats with different appearances, consider names that highlight their contrasting features. Options include “Day and Night” or “Salt and Pepper” for different colored cats, “Giant and Tiny” for size differences, or “Shadow and Light” for dark and light coats. You can also choose complementary pairs like “Sun and Moon” or “Fire and Ice” that reflect their distinctive physical traits while maintaining a thematic connection. Are mythology-inspired names good for twin cats? Mythology-inspired names are excellent for twin cats as they add cultural depth and significance to their identities. Divine duos like “Artemis and Apollo” (moon and sun deities) or “Zeus and Hera” (king and queen of gods) create meaningful connections. These names often come with rich backstories that can reflect your cats’ personalities or relationships, making them both distinctive and meaningful choices. What are some food-inspired twin cat names? Popular food-inspired twin cat names include sweet combinations like “Mac and Cheese,” “Milk and Cookies,” and “PB and Jelly” for playful, complementary personalities. Savory pairings such as “Bacon and Eggs,” “Salt and Pepper,” and “Cookie and Cream” work well for cats with contrasting appearances. These appetizing names create instant thematic connections while being fun and memorable for both cats and owners. How can I use nature themes for naming twin cats? Use nature themes by choosing paired elements like “River and Brook” for active cats, “Meadow and Oak” for contrasting personalities, or “Skye and Terra” for balancing elements. Celestial names such as “Luna and Sol” work well for night-and-day personalities. Botanical names like “Lily and Rose” or weather-inspired pairs such as “Storm and Sunny” create cohesive themes while celebrating each cat’s individual traits. What are the most popular twin cat names in 2023? The most popular twin cat names in 2023 include “Max and Milo” and “Leo and Loki” for male pairs, “Luna and Stella” and “Willow and Daisy” for female pairs, and “Zeus and Athena” and “Romeo and Juliet” for mixed-gender pairs. Playful combinations like “Zig and Zag” and themed duos such as “Tigger and Roo” have also gained popularity, reflecting current trends among cat parents. Should I name my kittens immediately after bringing them home? It’s best not to name your kittens immediately after bringing them home. Take time to observe their unique personalities, behaviors, and physical traits. This observation period allows you to choose names that truly reflect who they are. Some personality traits may take days or even weeks to emerge, so patience in the naming process typically results in more fitting, meaningful names that will stand the test of time. Can cats actually recognize their names? Yes, cats can recognize their names. Research has shown that cats can distinguish their names from other similar-sounding words, even when called by strangers. They may not always respond (as is typical cat behavior), but they do recognize and process their names. This makes thoughtful name selection important, as cats will learn to identify with their given names throughout their lives. https://goteamnames.com/?p=1928 Go Team Names

When it comes to putting together your outfits, no matter the occasion, accessories are the essential finishing touch. They’re the cherry on top that makes your look pop, the exclamation mark that announces your style with confidence. Accessories have the unique power to transform an outfit from simple to stunning, and from everyday to unforgettable. However, the challenge lies in the overwhelming variety: jewelry, bags, shoes, scarves, sunglasses, hats—the options are endless. So, how do you choose your accessories, and when do you wear them?In this article, we’re breaking it all down with 15 expert tips to help you select the perfect accessories. Whether you’re dressing up, dressing down, or simply feeling stuck in your style, these tips will guide you toward building a polished, confident look every time.Check out how to choose your accessories to make an impact every time…#1. Start with a signature pieceNot sure where to begin? Start with something you truly love. Choose a piece that reflects your personality and always makes you feel effortlessly put together. For many, that might be a favorite Kendra Scott necklace, known for its vibrant colors, elegant shapes, and easy versatility. For others, it could be a pair of beautiful earrings that catch the light just right.Once you’ve identified your signature piece, let it guide the rest of your accessories. If your necklace is bold and eye-catching, keep your earrings and bracelets more understated. The key is harmony, not competition. Your signature piece should speak volumes about who you are, so don’t be afraid to have fun and let your personality shine through.#2. Sometimes, less is moreThere is undeniable beauty in simplicity. When your outfit already features bold patterns or layered textures, it’s best to pare back your accessories. Just one or two simple pieces, like classic pearl studs and a slim watch, can be all you need to look effortlessly polished and put-together.Conversely, a minimalist outfit opens up a world of possibilities for accessorizing. Take a basic black dress, for example: always elegant on its own, but also the perfect canvas for a statement belt, eye-catching droplet earrings, and colorful shoes that truly jazz up the look. Knowing when to simplify and when to embellish is key to mastering your accessory game.#3. Mix your metalsPhoto: NDIYA/PinterestSome will tell you to stick to one metal, but when it comes to mixing metals, confidence is key. Don’t hesitate to blend gold, silver, rose gold, or even gunmetal within the same look. Fashion rules today are far more flexible, allowing you to stack rings in varying finishes or layer necklaces in complementary tones with ease.If you’re concerned about keeping your outfit cohesive, seek out pieces that already combine multiple metals—these thoughtfully designed accessories do the work for you, effortlessly tying the whole look together.#4. Dress for the occasionWhen learning how to choose accessories, it’s essential to consider not only your outfit but also your plans for the day. Are you heading to a formal dinner or a boardroom meeting? For formal occasions, opt for a sleek clutch and fine jewelry to elevate your look. On the other hand, if you’re off to a farmers market, go for a straw tote, comfy sandals, and oversized sunglasses for a relaxed yet stylish vibe.By tailoring your accessories to the event, you’ll feel confident, comfortable, and perfectly appropriate—without ever sacrificing style. The best part? No matter the occasion, there’s always the perfect accessory to complete your outfit.#5. Coordinate with colorPhoto: Getty ImagesHere’s where you get to be truly clever. Accessories offer a fantastic way to play with color in your outfit. You can coordinate for a chic monochromatic look or use accessories to introduce a striking contrast. For instance, a coral bag can instantly brighten a navy jumpsuit, while emerald earrings add a captivating touch to a neutral ensemble. Don’t be afraid to experiment with your color wheel—after all, opposites often attract when it comes to accessories.#6. Flatter your look by balancing proportionsWhen it comes to accessories, proportions truly matter. Large, chunky necklaces can easily overwhelm a petite frame or clash with a high-neck top. Conversely, dainty jewelry might get lost against bold prints or textured fabrics. That’s why it’s essential to consider both the scale of your outfit and your body type when selecting accessories. For example, if you’re taller or wearing heels, an oversized bag can make a striking statement. However, if you’re on the shorter side, smaller crossbody bags tend to flatter your figure more effectively.#7. Look to layer where you canPhoto: @freshlengths/InstagramMastering layers is a great way to choose the right accessories to complement your outfit. Layering your accessories is fashion-forward and allows you to showcase your creativity and personality simultaneously. For a cascading effect, try wearing multiple necklaces of varying lengths, or stack bracelets that mix different textures and metals. The key is to vary the size and spacing of your pieces—piling on five thick necklaces of the same length, for instance, can feel overwhelming. Instead, give your layers room to breathe. Remember, layering isn’t limited to jewelry; you can also layer hats over scarves or belts over coats to play with texture and shape.#8. Be experimental with texturesAccessories offer a wonderful opportunity to introduce texture into your look. For instance, suede boots pair beautifully with a wool coat, while a straw bag complements a flowy linen dress perfectly. These contrasting textures add depth and visual interest, transforming even a monochrome outfit into something dynamic and captivating.#9. Don’t forget the basicsPhoto: @paraisofeminino/PinterestTrendy pieces may come and go, but classic accessories are timeless investments worth splurging on. Think of staples like a sleek black leather handbag, nude heels, diamond or pearl studs, and a neutral-toned watch. These are the pieces you’ll reach for again and again—the true foundation of your accessory wardrobe. By building around these enduring essentials, you can effortlessly layer on trendier items without losing your signature style.#10. Coordinate your bag and shoesIt was once said that your bag must match your shoes—but that rule no longer holds. While matching can still feel elegant for formal occasions, modern style embraces greater creativity and freedom. Rather than exact color coordination, aim to pair accessories that share similar tones, materials, or overall vibes. For instance, a tan suede bag pairs beautifully with olive green ankle boots, while a bold red bag can make leopard print flats truly pop.#11. Express yourself where you canAccessories are the simplest way to personalize your look—whether your style is quirky, bold, romantic, or minimalist. A punk-inspired leather cuff might become your go-to for concerts, while delicate floral pieces feel perfect for brunch with friends. Ultimately, accessories let you tell your story and make every outfit uniquely yours.#12. Don’t forget your hairPhoto: LELET NYOne place you shouldn’t overlook when accessorizing is your hair. Hair accessories are having a major moment right now—from padded headbands and silk scrunchies to pearl barrettes and printed scarves. With options to suit every style, function, and occasion, they’re the perfect finishing touch to elevate any look.#13. Go with the seasonsJust as your wardrobe evolves with the seasons, so should your accessories. In summer, lighter materials like canvas, rattan, and shell jewelry bring an effortless, breezy vibe. Then, as the temperature drops, rich textures such as wool, velvet, and leather add warmth and depth to your look, perfect for the colder months.#14. Put some balance between trendy and timelessTrends are fun, but when learning how to choose accessories, remember that not every piece needs to scream “must-have of the season.” Build your base with timeless staples and sprinkle in trendy items for a modern touch. For example, pairing a classic trench coat with bold geometric earrings is a stylish way to stay current without looking like you’re trying too hard.#15. Be confident in your choicesPhoto: Getty ImagesThe truth is, no accessory truly shines if you’re not confident wearing it. Confidence is the best accessory you can have. So, if you love your giant tote bag, own it. If bold earrings feel like you, even if no one else is wearing them, go for it anyway! Fashion is meant to be fun and a little frivolous. Trust your instincts, break a few rules, and wear your accessories like you mean it.ConclusionIt’s so important to regularly take stock of your current collection and clear out any accessories that feel dated or simply don’t spark joy. Learning how to choose accessories thoughtfully means treating them as an essential part of your wardrobe, not just an afterthought. After all, accessorizing is an art form—a blend of skill, creativity, and instinct. Whether you’re layering necklaces or coordinating your bag and shoes, the right accessories will elevate your look and effortlessly express your personal style.By embracing the playfulness of accessorizing, taking risks, and letting your pieces speak volumes, you’ll unlock your creativity and confidence. At the end of the day, it’s not just what you wear, but how you wear it. Now that you know how to choose accessories, it’s time to go forth and accessorize with flair.Featured Image: Saint LaurentFor the latest in fashion, lifestyle, and culture, follow us on Instagram @StyleRave_—Read also!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window, document,'script', ' fbq('init', '496558104568102'); fbq('track', 'PageView');!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments);if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n; n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window, document,'script',' fbq('init', '1453079628754066'); fbq('track', "PageView"); Source link

5 Accessories to Pair with Your Baseball Hat

The baseball hat is the staple of many different styles. When you want to show off a limited-edition New Era hat with a unique design, how can you pair it with other accessories to complete your fit? Whether you are adding a stylish edge to your favorite outfit or just shielding your eyes from the sun on a game day, pairing your hat with the right accessories can help elevate your look.

Sunglasses Pairing your baseball hat with sunglasses is a timeless duo. It’s a stylish combo that will also help shield your eyes from the sun’s rays. It’s not as simple as throwing on your fitted LA Dodgers hat and grabbing a random pair of sunglasses, though. You need to match styles. Baseball hats give off a sporty vibe, so you want to pair them with sleek, athletic sunglasses when possible. You should also try to choose complementary colors. A neutral-toned hat works well with black, brown, and tortoiseshell sunglasses, while a hat with brighter colors should be paired with a neutral pair of sunglasses to help provide your look with some balance. Watches Do you want to add a touch of class to your outfit? Try pairing your hat with a watch. Baseball hats lean toward casual style, so the right watch adds another layer of sophistication, keeping your outfit versatile enough to look at home in many different settings. Classic watches, like an analog watch with a leather band, can help elevate a look and pair perfectly with New Era hats for a weekend brunch with friends or a casual Friday at the office. If you are going to a game, choose a sportier watch for a more athletic look.

Scarves During the colder months, a scarf is a fantastic way to add another accessory to your outfit. The main consideration is choosing a scarf that goes well with your hat since certain colors and patterns can clash. Lightweight scarves are best in the fall, and, along with your hat, can add a pop of color to your outfit without being overwhelming. Chunky scarves meant for the winter are best done in neutral tones or complementary colors to your hat. Jewelry Another way to add a pop to your outfit is with jewelry. For men, rings and chains are excellent options. Signet rings, dog tags, and leather cords work well. For women, delicate gold or silver necklaces and leather or beaded bracelets match baseball hats well. The key is to add more texture and color without clashing with your hat or other accessories, like the watch.

Kicks When crafting an outfit, you need to consider every detail from head to toe. You’ve already topped things off with a baseball hat, but for your feet, it’s time to choose the right footwear. Sneakers are the classic combo for baseball hats and are a natural choice for both sporty and casual looks. If you want to coordinate colors, match your shoes to your hat. If you want more of a rugged look, lace up some boots. No matter which shoes you choose, they can be the perfect way to create a cohesive look you can rock with confidence.
