Inky Mystery x The Gray Garden - Cuphead!!
"For being the Ruling Demon's right hand man, he's really chill - able to keep his cool on the battlefield. Also, he's one hell of a prankster." - You find written on a metal placard, somewhere within the walls of BlancBlack Castle.
This was one hell of a fun little project to do, as I like designing blorbos from time to time, and trying to replicate (to some extent lol) the style of the intro cards in the game was fun as hell
Oh and be sure that I AM gonna push it further - next in line is Mugman >:]

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.
arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

we don't talk about it enough but duck and billy's relationship in amnesty is truly a tragic one.
imagine: you rescue a mindless drone. you save his life, you give him autonomy, you give him language. you teach him trust. you protect him at your own expense. you name him billy. he knows three words in your language, and one is your name. you promise to keep him safe, and he betrays his programming to help you in return. he defies everything he was designed to do in order to aid you.
you save him from being a drone, but in doing so, you kill him. he was never supposed to be here this long. you gave him freedom at the cost of rapid decay, and now he's dying. and if he could just go back to his home planet, he would live, but he doesn't want to. because you're here. duck newton, his first friend, his savior, his guardian. you showed him that there is a better way to live - with free will, with pizza and playstations.
he's damned if he stays and damned if he goes. but you can't watch him suffer. that's not who you are. you're duck newton, local beefcake, defender of the disadvantaged. so you wait until he's engrossed in his video game - in humanity, in freedom of choice - and you strike him down out of mercy.
billy reverts to his original form: a four-armed being of light, once a drone, now a friend. he's beginning to disintegrate, but he has unfinished business here. he never finished his video game. and you give him one last gift of mercy: you lie to him. don't worry, you tell him - that character you're worried about? she's fine in the end. no, i know it seems bleak now, but she turns out okay.
you can't give him anything else, so you give him hope. it's the same thing he gave to you, all those months ago when you saved him.

Goldhauben (northern Austrian) Miku! 🏔️🌲
And yes, the fancy umbrella is a part of the attire, so is the dress being short enough to see the white stockings lol
The colour scheme now, for the revived traditional wear is a bit more like this:
And I could not resist making an all teal version just for maximum Miku, under the cut!
Also, Miku is young and thus would probably not have gotten the full goldhaube yet, but instead a smaller golden cap meant for teens and young adults. There is of course also a smaller cap even for tiny little ones bc it's cute. Both in gold though.
The first image is from what I gathered from illustrations around the 1890s, the second is closer to what my grandma wears for church processions on holidays, like Easter etc. It's a very shiny black fabric, and the umbrella has the same one. The dress being this short is not a thing anymore, my grandma's dress is almost floor length, but it was in all the old illustrations I found!
