Am I allowed to ask beach AU fashion hcs or that counts as spoiler >_>?

(Doodle the answer if ur up for it?)

noo not a spoiler 🤞 im happy to yap abt this au forever i literally cant wait to release it o_o

okay originally i hadn’t pictured them outside of their lifeguard uniforms/surfing wetsuits, but now that i’m thinking about it, they spend a lot of time not in those outfits so thank you for this ask!!!

megumi runs cold, even in the summer, so he tends to wear sweatshirts, but layers them with a t shirt just in case he does get warm. lots of blue and black and white in his wardrobe. nike air force 1s for shoes. he picks clothes w really deep pockets bc he bikes everywhere and a) he thinks bags are a pain and b) he doesnt have anywhere else to put his stuff (i swear this is relevant to the rest of the hcs)

yuuji will definitely pull out some tank tops in the summer. he tends to run warm as well so that’s why….not trying to show off his muscles to catch megumi’s attention or anything….also my consistent yuuji graphic tee hc 🤞 and jorts. converse wearer (low tops, probably some fun color, maybe green or pink?). ignore the backpacks in the pics. yuuji has a beat up jeep and throws everything in the back randomly.

yuuta is a button up enthusiast. very yacht boy aesthetic (he does not have w yacht w his lifeguard salary but yk. it’s the vibes that matter). always layering the button up open over a t shirt, khaki shorts or mayyybe jeans. shoes are sperry top siders or The birkenstock sandals. i can see him being the type to carry a tote bag around too. he’s the type to carry around a ton of things - phone, wallet, keys, hand sanitizer, chapstick, lotion, breath mints or gum, and sunscreen

toge is another funky shirt wearer. honestly he just likes to be comfy. probably very little difference between what he wears to sleep and what he wears out in the world. he does wear a mask frequently, since he’s a bit self conscious about his birthmarks around his mouth (he’s working on not wearing it. toge self acceptance journey anyone?). he also carries a bag, mostly with things he needs for surfing, like sunscreen, surfboard wax, bandaids in case he gets hurt or something.

nobamaki also make a brief appearance but i havent actually given them an “on-screen” moment so i havent pictured their fits yet. soon 🤞

this is the closest i imagined for the wetsuits/lifeguard uniforms.

i have some bathing suit ideas but i have discovered that mens bathing suits are…not very cute most of the time so perhaps i’ll sketch a few ideas and send them via dm if ur interested 👀 and potential surfboard ideas for yuuji and toge

thank you for the ask! hope youre having a good weekend <33

Clinical Formulations of Histrionic PD

Clinical formulations and case conceptualisations are introduced in this post.

These are all generalisations and theories of how HPD develops, not something that is supposed to be true for everyone with HPD.

Psychodynamic model

Histrionics lack relationships with maternal caregivers so turn to paternal caregivers for love and attention

Learn that they can get attention through sexualised behaviours

Men with HPD may be hypomasculine (effeminate) or hypermasculine if their paternal caregiver is emotionally unavailable

Biosocial model

Mood swings, very emotional

Biggest influences are environmental: caregivers’ reinforcement of attention-seeking & manipulative behaviours and histrionic role models

Children learn they can use cuteness, charm, attractiveness & seductive behaviours to get what they want/need (attention from caregivers)

Histrionics are externally focused and largely ignore their internal worlds

Histrionic behaviours are self-perpetuating

Cognitive-Behavioural model

Two main underlying assumptions: “I am inadequate and unable to handle life by myself” and “I must be loved by everyone to be worthwhile.” 

Need attention and approval from others, and in a similar way to DPD feel they are inadequate to look after themselves and need others

Hypersensitive to rejection & criticism (similar to DPD, NPD and AvPD)

Feel they must perform for others to gain approval and self-esteem

Thinking is “impressionistic, global, and unfocused” and leads to over-generalisation, emotional dysregulation, and splitting

Two subtypes:

The controlling type, who tries to gain control through dramatics and manipulation; they struggle with reading others’ emotions and are shallow, self-centred, and uncomfortable without immediate assurance; lack empathy.

The reactive type tries to gain approval and reassurance.

Interpersonal model

People with HPD learnt that their entertainment value and appearance was more important to others than their worth as a person

Learnt that physical appearance and charm can be used to manipulate others

Their childhood homes were unpredictable and probably involved substance abuse

The unpredictability was dramatic and interesting (unlike the “primitive” and life-threatening chaos associated with BPD)

Histrionics were likely rewarded (i.e. had their physical and emotional needs met) for their disabilities, illnesses and complaints

Histrionics “exhibit a strange fear of being ignored, together with a wish to be loved and taken care of by important others, who can be controlled through charm or guile.”

Integrative model

Histrionics experience reactive mood swings and have high levels of energy

They are hyper-responsive and externally oriented

“The self-view of the histrionic will be some variant of the theme “I am sensitive and everyone should admire and approve of me.” The world-view will be some variant of “Life makes me nervous so I am entitled to special care and consideration.” Life goal is some variant of the theme “Therefore, play to the audience, and live in the moment.””

Cargivers’ style based in reciprocity, i.e. “I’ll give you attention if you do what I want”, with minimal or inconsistent discipline and probable neglect

Internal experiences of HPD are “denial of one’s real or inner self; a preoccupation with externals; the need for excitement and attention-seeking, which leads to a superficial charm and interpersonal presence; and the need for external approval. This, in turn, further reinforces the dissociation and denial of the real or inner self from the public self, and the cycle continues.”

SHADOW IN THE CLOUD (2020)

It is 1943.  A woman furtively prepares for a mission.  She is Chloe Moretz, who we last saw in “Let Me In” (2010).  She dons a flight jacket, types up some orders, and looks at something in a big leather “radio box” (just a big box with a strap).  She heads to the airfield, and after some spookiness, boards the plane.  It is a B-17 “Flying Fortress.”  It was an iconic bomber plane of World War 2; it’s been featured in movies before, but this might be its first horror movie appearance.  Anyway, the all-male crew are incredulous at Chloe Moretz’s presence, but she shows them some orders, and they reluctantly let her aboard.  She says that her radio box is confidential and cannot be opened, and one crewmember, Quaid agrees to protect it.  Chloe Moretz is shoved into the “Sperry ball turret” on the bottom of the plane. 

The plane takes off, and we’re subjected to the casually misogynistic radio chatter of the men toward Chloe Moretz.  She talks to them over the radio, and a good part of the movie is just this: Chloe Moretz talking to the men over the radio.  In a fine English accent, she explains that she’s in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) of the Royal Air Force.  Then she sees a gremlin hanging off the bottom of the plane!  She reports what she sees.  The crew is, again, incredulous, and the captain orders her out of the turret.  Unfortunately, there are mechanical issues with the hatch.  Chloe Moretz attempts to defend herself and disabuse the men of their disdain for her.  In a fit of male pique, the captain just has the men turn off her radio, and they leave her in the turret. 

Chloe Moretz is then attacked by the gremlin!  It tries to enter the turret, but she drives it away with a bullet from her pistol.  The crew demand to know what’s going on, but she says she’s fine.  They then learn from base that there’s no one with her name on the WAAF roster!  But then someone says that they see the gremlin!  Then Chloe Moretz sees an approaching Japanese airplane!  She activates the turrets and shoots at it!  She shoots it down!

As the men react to what’s just happened, Chloe Moretz asks about her package, but now she has an American accent.  After some conversation, engine three goes out.  Chloe Moretz sees a gremlin crawl out of the wing.  It sees Chloe Moretz and approaches to stare at her.  It looks like a big bat.  It crawls back into the wing and destroys some more of the plane.  Engine four begins to fail!  The men on the plane suspect that whatever’s in the package is the cause of their trouble.  They seize it from Quaid, and we hear a baby crying over the radio.  Chloe Moretz explains that the baby is hers and Quaid’s.  She is also married, so they had an affair, and he left her.  Then her actual husband showed up.  He’s a drunk wife-beater, so she’s just trying to escape him.  She says, “I will not let myself be dishonorably discharge so that a drunk can choke me to death in the privacy of his own home.” 

The captain says that he’s turning the plane around, but then they spot a trio of Japanese Zero fighter planes!  Then the gremlin attacks Quaid, who’s in the top turret with the baby!  Then there is silence, and Chloe Moretz screams.  She sees the gremlin crawl out the wing, with the radio box!  Then the Zeros attack!  Chloe Moretz looks at the gremlin and shouts, “You have no idea how far I’ll go.”  She pops open the turret and shoots at the gremlin, and it flees.  The box with the baby dangles from the wing from a pipe.  Chloe Moretz then crawls along the bottom of the wing and grabs the box.  This seems kind of unrealistic.  A Zero shoots off the Sperry ball turret, so she crawls back to the hole.  She shoves in the baby box, then then she falls out of the plane!  As she is plummeting to her death, a damaged Zero explodes right underneath her, and the explosion propels her back into the plane. 

A crewmember who saw that is flabbergasted, as am I, and then he dies in a hail of bullets.  A crewmember then gets into a fight with the gremlin, and it shoves him out the open bomb bay.  Chloe Moretz manages to dislodge it from the plane, but it sprouts some wings and flies away.  Chloe Moretz proceeds to the cockpit and tells the captain and co-pilot that they have to make an emergency landing, but then the captains is shot to death.  As he dies he tells Chloe Moretz, “What were you thinking?”  She convinces the co-pilot that they have to land.  She goes to the rear to find a place to land, and then another crewmember, who is both misogynistic and racist (because the co-pilot is a native New Zealander), is shot to death. 

Chloe Moretz then discovers that Quaid, her baby-daddy, is still alive.  He must have been hiding in the wing.  Then they see the gremlin attacking another crewmember!  Chloe Moretz takes her time aiming her pistol, and she shoots it in the upper chest.  It falls out of the plane and toward the ground.  Chloe Moretz then runs to a turret and shoots down the final Zero.  Then the B-17 begins to dive uncontrollably!  Chloe Moretz runs back to the cockpit, sits in the now-empty pilot’s seat, and basically says that they have to, sigh, invert the plane.  Denzel Washington did this in “Flight” (2012).  Everyone straps in and we see them hanging upside down.  We can tell because Chloe Moretz’s hair hangs from her head.  Strangely, we don’t see an exterior shot of the inverted B-17 Flying Fortress, which would have been neat.  I can imagine that it would have damaged, perhaps smoking, with bits flying away as it streaked over the forest below.  Maybe they couldn’t afford a decent 3-D model of the plane.

Anyway, the maneuver works.  They crash land.  Chloe Moretz has a vision of both Quaid and her baby dying, but they are fine.  They have to flee the plane because it’s about to explode.  She and Quaid open the baby box, and the baby is fine.  The surviving guys (both of them) explain how they’ll cover for Chloe Moretz.  Quaid is then proposing to Chloe Moretz, but the gremlin attacks!  Again!  It runs away with the baby box, but Chloe Moretz bonks it on the head.  She gives the box to Quaid, and then she stalks the gremlin.  It attempts to flee, but she shows no mercy.  She beat it to death and finally kills the gremlin by shoving its own claw into its throat.  She returns to her baby, sits down, and begins to breast-feed it.  She looks at the burning plane and its icon, “The Fool’s Errand.”  She looks at us.

(That’s the end, but over the credits we see archival footage of WAAF members during World War 2.  This is a nice touch.  Yes, women contributed to the war effort.)

I want to say that this is ok, but it’s actually meh.  In some respects it’s a decent horror action movie.  World War 2 has been mined before for its horror potential, but this might be the first full-length movie to feature a wartime-era gremlin.  There have been other productions with similar types of monsters, such as the “Twilight Zone” episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (1963), starring William Shatner!  There was also a remake of that short in the “Twilight Zone: The Movie” (1983) starring John Lithgow.  These are classic shorts, and probably just the right length for this type of story.  This movie, “Shadow in the Sky,” is overly long and repetitive.  The gremlin is attacking the plane.  But then the Zeros attack!  Then we have to save the baby!  The Zeros attack again!  The gremlin attacks again!  Save the baby! And so on.  The movie can’t quite figure out what it wants to be.  We’re also bludgeoned with the casual misogyny.  The men comment on Chloe Moretz's appearance, ask her if she’s a lesbian or a whore, and wonder if she’s menstruating.  It’s all a bit much, stretching both our patience and our sense of verisimilitude.  The highlight is Chloe Moretz.  The monster effects are also pretty good, with the movie not afraid to show the gremlin in the daylight.  But, as for Chloe Moretz, she spends forty minutes out of the total runtime of seventy-four minutes sitting by herself, and she acts the hell out of her part.  She can deliver both a heartfelt speech about the horrors of domestic abuse, and then she can beat the shit out of a monster on a beach.
