╰┈➤ ❝ [ Can you send a message to pretty little princess hiding in your heart? Tell her that her knight in shining armor is here ] ¡! ❞

For a long time, you've hated the idea of being a girl. In desperation to fit in with everyone else, you purposely acted like a tomboy. Pushing away those barbie dolls, mocking the idea of liking make-up, being disgusted with the other girls hating to get dirty.

All of that for the sake of fitting in, all of that for the hope that maybe if you become cool enough in everyone's eyes by not acting like a girl— You would find acceptance and validation from everyone around you.

But now, now who's laughing?

You're a grown woman now, and yet you cant even apply lip gloss or any make-up. Your clothes? Shabby long sleeves and hoodies, shirts that make you feel bloated and icky.

Your own body makes you so uncomfortable that even looking at your own face in the mirror makes you gag. The sight of your eyes, tho round cheeks, those awful dry lips— It made so sick in the stomach you purposely avoid mirrors as if they're going to kill you.

Despite how terrible you felt about yourself, despite how much you hated mirrors— You somehow capture Jinwoo's heart.

That perfect, perfect boy.

A clean shaven face, fluffy hair that always misbehaves but makes him more charming, a small smile that feels like it's lighting up the whole world— Yes. That perfect Jinwoo is your boyfriend.

And despite him not giving any hints nor saying anything, he knew of your self-destructive habits because of your appearance. Truthfully, there's nothing wrong with you, you've always been perfect. But even if JInwoo told you that— The only replies he gets are nervous chuckles and fidgeting.

He really didn't know how to help you at first, he wasn't a girl.

Ah, but he has a sister.

So he approached Jinah regarding you. She was perplexed by her brother's confusing statements since Jinwoo is so unsure of what to say. So instead, Jinah suggested he observed you more than he normally does.

And observe he does.

Jinwoo would often peek on your phone, not that he's worried that you'll be cheating since he's always around you even if he's not there.

He noticed a lot of things, your pins often involved dresses, your favourites had various pictures of make-up and other pretty things. It intrigued him, after all, you never shown interest in girly things outwardly.

Once Jinwoo had done enough watching, he knew the problem right away and how he could solve.

So, on one faithful day on your date in a mall— Jinwoo purposely passed by a shop that had similar dresses he saw on your phone.

Your gaze would wander absentmindedly towards the displayed frilly dress that had strawberry patterns on it's graceful fabric.

Bingo.

"Pretty colour, don't you think?" Jinwoo asks out of nowhere, leaning down a little towards you.

"H-huh?" You sputter, realizing wha you have been doing. "Well... It's fine I guess"

"Come on" Jinwoo gently tugs at your hand, guiding you to the store. "Let's see if there's a size for you."

"Hey!" You squeak, grabbing his arm to try and stop him. "I-I don't wear dresses! It won't look good!"

"It will," Jinwoo gently smiles, flicking your forehead. "I wanna see you in a dress, so come with me, yeah?"

You reluctantly sigh in defeat, letting Jinwoo drag you into the store. The man was quick to move about and get the dress, pushing it in your hands and then directing you to fitting room. Jinwoo waited patiently, until he saw your little head peek from the curtain of the dressing room.

"Come out, baby" He coaxes softly, as if he were talking to a little child hesitant to show themselves.

And when you do, Jinwoo felt his breath hitch. His mouth would slightly hang open, his grey eyes complete still as it gazes upon your beautiful figure adorn in that pink strawberry dress. The way it so gracefully lands on your curves, eloquent and meek. The flowy freels making you look like you best belong in a fairytale book.

Jinwoo felt like he just fell in love all over again.

"I-I knew it, it looks stupid!" You cry out, immediately shutting the curtain but Jinwoo sprang up to his feet and prevented you from hiding away.

"Hey, hey, sarang" Jinwoo chuckles, "You look pretty, I just couldn't talk for a moment hahah..."

"But..."

"Sarang, can you look at me?" Jinwoo cooes softly and you hesitantly meet his gaze. "See that girl in my eyes?"

"She's the prettiest princess I've ever seen"

His words make you shy, like it always did. Somehow, Jinwoo had a knack for making you shrink into feeling like a giddy little girl in her birthday.

"So, will the princess please spoil me by wearing more pretty dresses?" Jinwoo asks, his eyebrow cocking up a little as he leans down. "Hm?"

"Okay— ???!!!"

You couldn't even finish talking as Jinwoo shoved atleas tten dresses into your arms.

The rest of the time? Jinwoo swears he almost died with every dress he puts on. His heart was bleeding a river at this point. You're such a pretty girl. How come you've never tried such clothing?

Jinwoo could tell that you absolutely enjoyed it, the way you were hopping around, spinning a little to watch the fabrics float and twirl along your movement— The look on your face proves that you have been dying to feel this way in forever.

He adores that smile of yours, more than anything else in the world. If you look this happy in such clothing, he can only imagine what you must have gone through to not have the courage to wear pretty things until today.

In the end, Jinwoo bought at least 15 dresses off of his wallet and the idiot seemed to be even more happier than you do.

Just as you thought Jinwoo would be done for today— The man decided to drag you into dior where at this point you wanted to cry.

"Nah-ah~" Jinwoo hums, continuing to guide you inside.

He scanned through the lipstick sampling area before picking up a single shade, holding it up to your lips.

"Come now," He says gently, and you obeyed.

With a mouth slightly hanging open, Jinwoo started applying the lipstick with intense focus. His stare was boring into you, it was as if Jinwoo is currently doing something extremely important.

After a few more seconds, Jinwoo swipes his thumb under your bottom lip.

"Look," Jinwoo turns you around, showing you your the lipstick he had applied on you. The color was magnificent, suiting your sweet features and making you appear dolled up even by just a little. "This colour looks so good on you, sarang."

"Why?..." You ask, pursing your lips. "You keep..."

"Spoiling you?" Jinwoo finishes your words for you, his voice growing a bit quieter. "I know it's rude, but I snooped around in your phone and found that you are very fond of pretty things. Not that I minded your current appearance, of course not. But I can't help but notice that you somehow feel like an imposter in your own body. So what am I to do as your boyfriend? I help you come out of your shell."

"My pretty little thing, if you want something, tell me" Jinwoo kisses the side of your head affectionately. "Didn't I tell you? I'll always help you whenever you need me, just say the word and I'll do it"

"If you want to be a princess, then I'll help you become one. So wont you tell that shy little girl in your heart to come out and play with her knight in shining armour?"

You didn't answer, but that was more than enough for Jinwoo to confirm what he needs to. So he picked a few more colours of the lipstick he knew would look good on you. He'll start out slow with buying cosmetics since he doesn't know much. Maybe he should ask Jinah once he's home.

After succesfully purchasing the lipsticks, he gently intertwines your fingers as he guides you out of the store.

"Why don't you say we test these out at home?" Jinwoo muses. "I wanna see how well they'll stain"

Oh that devious smile on his stupidly handsome face, you knew at that moment Jinwoo was planning to probably kiss you until he cant breathe.

꒰ A/N: I'm struggling to embrace my own feminine side, despite my age I don't know how to wear makeup nor do I wear pretty things. I still have a very bad case of body dysmorphia, so I made this fic to heal me and maybe even allow me to be a bit more confident. I hope you guys don't mind this very selfish fic</33 ꒱

Set breakdown time! Next up: Niko's room.

As before, I've circled the points of interest and numbered them to make them easier to talk about. Cool? Cool. Let's do this!

1: Niko's mom's name! This part is her and Niko's surname. The kanji are 佐々木.

佐 – sa, meaning help or aid

々 – an iteration mark. When you see this, basically it means "exactly what the last one said, one more time." So another sa meaning help or aid

木 – ki, meaning tree

It's really neat that they picked a last name for her that doubles down on her role in the narrative. Just like Niko is there to support and help other characters in whatever way they seem to need, her surname hammers it home by including 佐 not once but twice.

2: Riza (リザ) Niko's mother's given name. Somewhat odd here is that it's written in katakana and not kanji. Without getting sidetracked too much (you can pop over here to read more if you're interested) most Japanese people write their names in kanji.

Katakana seems like a bit of a strange choice here, unless a) Niko for some reason doesn't know the kanji for her own mother's name (weird, given that she's in high school) b) her mother is a foreigner (a possibility; foreigners usually write their names in katakana) c) the set designer/whoever prepped the letters didn't know the appropriate kanji for "Riza" (seems unlikely, given how accurate all the rest of this is) or d) some sort of personal habit. An interesting side note is that her letter to Niko also puts Niko's name in katakana.

3: Cutesy stationery, used for marking your place in a document or book

4: A cute blue purse!

5: Watermelon! Judging by the shiny material and placement near the other bag, I'm going to guess this is another purse

6: Niko's clothes :>

7: Pink luggage

8: Lots of instant noodles

9: A rice cooker

10: Rice vinegar

11: This girl LOVES her some plants

12: Probably food items…? The one on the right looks like it might be a five-pound bag of rice, but I don't recognize the brand

13: Lots of unwashed dishes

14: A toaster oven

15: Chopsticks

16: A cute octopus pillow. I think I saw someone mention that it's from Ikea :>

17: She often leaves dirty dishes sitting on the bedside table

18: A painting of what seems to be a skyscape

19: Brightly colored pillows

20: Metal art in the shape of a moon

21: A decorative window hanging

22: More plants :)

23: Candles

24: Her tv

25: Cute pens with pompoms on the end

26: Regular tape

27: A cute cat statue

28: Marble Pop Ramune, strawberry flavor. Ramune is a type of soda that's a popular festival drink in Japan. It's sealed with a  glass marble and you have to pop the marble down into the little catch basin before you can drink it.

29: Anime wall décor

30: Fruit jelly cups. In Japan, small gelatin based snacks like this are popular. They're tiny, about an inch tall, and you eat them in just one or two bites.

31: Niko's laptop. She has stickers on it

32: Washi tape! It's decorative Japanese tape, often with bright colors and patterns, used for crafting.

33: A lot of cute magnets, including the bunny one, which serves double-duty as a kitchen timer

34: Niko's grocery list. The only thing on here that's here because she wants it is strawberry ice cream. The rest of the items, licorice tea, manuka honey, and Epsom salts, are all natural remedies. She's been trouble-shooting how to get rid of the effects of the sprites. She knows she's sick, but not why

35: Cutesy craft supplies! Sequins, glitter, and pompoms

36: More washi tape!

37: Niko's manga collection. She is that particular brand of organizational mess that does not put her numbered volumes in order. She has made an exception for the series that makes a complete picture when you line them up, though

38: More plants :)

39: Manga posters! Issho is one of the series that she has on her shelf

40: A decorative jar

41: Little metal bird sculptures

42: What seems to be the only framed picture in her room. The angle is wrong to see what the photo is, but it's interesting that they added just one in here. Maybe it's her family…?

Hello! I really like your writing for a long time and I decided to make a request ^^ Scenerio with a Dante (DMC3 or DMC5, whichever you think is most appropriate) discovering by accident that his crush wears... strawberry-print panties and that that excited him more than any lace thong...

Sure, here you go, pleasantly suggestive.

Strawberry Panties (Dante x Reader)

You'd just moved into Devil May Cry at Trish and Lady's request, as they--and you--wanted to be closer for both work and social purposes. Once you'd gotten your stuff settled in, you decided to go out shopping with the girls, leaving your possessions locked safely in your new room.

Or so you thought.

The moment you left was the moment Dante would initiate his secret mission: Sneak into your room. See, the man had it bad for you, so much so that during his mating season he'd constantly think about you, and nothing but you. He couldn't really confide this crush in anyone, for fear they would laugh or blab, so after a few months of brainstorming, Dante came up with a plan. He would sneak into your room and surprise you with an endearing confession.

The plan seemed simple enough; acting it out was even easier. With no one around to stop him, Dante slipped into your room and situated himself on your bed. Almost instantly, he felt the butterflies return, along with a string of worries. What if you were creeped out upon finding him in your room? What if you rejected him? What if he fell asleep waiting for you?

He soon waved these notions off, assuring himself that he was hot and that you would be pleasantly surprised when you came home to find him chilling in your room. Smirking at his own "charisma", the man plopped down on your bed, crossed his legs, and waited.

Unfortunately, Dante couldn't sit around and wait for very long. He began to get bored, very, very, bored. He bounced his leg, fidgeted with his clothes, tugged on his hair, and even attempted downward dog on your bedroom floor, when he realized that his boredom would not be cured anytime soon. Sighing loudly, the man paced back and forth in your room, wondering what to do when all of a sudden, he spotted something pink sticking out of one of your drawers.

Curiosity overwhelming him, the devil hunter slid the drawer open, fished out the pink garment, and gasped.

He was holding a pair of your strawberry panties. They were a light pastel pink, with dark red kawaii strawberries patterned all over them. Dante began to salivate, staring at the fabric. These were yours--you wore those panties. These things touched your bottom!!! The devil hunter started panting, feeling his whole body heat up and warmth rush into that area between his legs.

It didn't take him long to realize that your strawberry panties were his only hope of relieving himself. Glancing at the door to make sure no one was watching him, he stuffed the undergarment into his pocket and slithered out the door. He was just gonna borrow it for a few hours at most--it's not like you'll notice, right?

[ithoughtghostsjustfloatedaway]

ok wair actually i Do have a question. FOR your fem losers designs do you have like. Specific reasons for why you designed them that way?

this is actually so sweet tysm for this question, i love my gals & don’t feel like i get to talk about them much!!

might be a bit long so i’ll put it under the cut

for my fem!losers designs, i took inspiration from the movies, other artists’ fem losers designs, & even some fanfics. i looked at a bunch of things & sketched a bunch before i came to what their designs are currently. & their designs are still changing, i’m always tweaking what they look like, but they’ve stayed relatively the same since i started drawing them as girls back in 2021. it’s mostly just finding a mix of making them look like their film counterparts, taking my own creative liberties, & just what seems right

as for more specifics, some of the designs just felt right & others i have a lot more hcs & reasons for why they look the way they do. for bill, mike, & ben, i don’t have a ton of hcs atm for why i designed them the way i did, they just felt right. bill seems like a short haired girl & she doesn’t seem like a huge dress girl. mike seems like she’d have big curls-that she always keeps back- & is more about practicality than style (tho bev loves to dress her up & she definitely doesn’t argue). ben would wear her hair back more often than not cuz it doesn’t draw attention, & she wears lots of skirts & big t-shirts for the same reason. & besides that i just wanted to make all their hair colors stand out more so i made bill’s a bit more red & ben’s more blonde than brunette.

stan is fun cuz i feel like she looks the most similar to her canon counterpart (at least, i try(?)), but i still take my liberties. she’s got more strawberry blonde hair, & she’s got big curls. i think she wouldn’t care for them much when she was younger but once she learned how to maintain them she grew to love her curls. i also draw her in a lot more preppy-styled, modest clothes cuz i think it just makes since (cuz of her parents)

richie’s fun cuz i feel like her who design just makes sense? she’s got big hair (i made a whole post on my hair hc for her a while ago), of which she grows out & cuts throughout her life. she likes to keep part of it pulled up usually too, for variety (but mostly cuz she lets eddie borrow her scrunchies when she wants to pull her hair up & richie loves when eddie wears her scrunchies but you didn’t hear that from meeee) she wears a lot of mismatched clothes, lots of ripped jeans & ofc her hawaiian & other brightly patterned shirts.

eddie is by far the loser who’s design i have the most hcs for, & it’s NOT cuz of favoritism (…maybe a little). i’ve always had the most ideas for her cuz hee characterization imo would be the most affected by her being a girl in the canon. she would have to fit sonia’s “perfect little girl” ideals, which is not eddie in the slightest. perfect little girl eddie keeps her long hair down at all times, always wear skirts & blouses, & always does what she’s told. real eddie pulls her hair up all the time (until she finally cuts it, i also made a post about my eddie’s hair hcs), wears t-shirts & shorts her friends keep hidden for her, & has a trash mouth that only rivals the trashmouth herself. i give eddie more freckles the older she gets (until chapter 2, she has less then) cuz she’s outside running around all the time (which sonia hates). idk if anyone pays attention to it, but i draw eddie (especially teenaged & up) with an hourglass body cuz i still think she’d be small, but she’s got a bigger chest & curvier hips (sonia kaspbrak genes). i also think it plays into that “perfect little girl”-> “desired woman” pipeline that sonia would believe it, & that eddie hates. idk if that even makes sense. 

i’ll be so fr, idek if any of that made sense, or was even what you asked for. but hopefully that was a little bit of a glimpse into my mind when it comes to these gals? i’m constantly thinking about them & i’m always messing with what they look like so if anyone has any suggestions/ideas/want to know more about something specifically just lmk!! <3 <3

New oc! And a relatively wholesome one too! *she's a victim of the "I don't want to put clothes on this sketch" phenomenon*, but also she does wear heart shaped bikini. for work.

Philadelphia from Tommy Wiseau's The Neighbors was a big inspo ngl.

She's not a stripper. She's actually paid by the king, and responsible for maintaing a sort of day-night cycle in one part of their land! just wanted to draw big chunky heels.

So say hi to Jubie! And imma hide more info abt her and an infodump about swimsuit fish people down here.

Jubie is a monster, one employed by the King to work as a Lightbringer (WIP name). There's a specific type of monsters with a mutation, which leaves them with glowing hair and blood. (their hair's literally transparent veins with blood flowing through)

(A drawing of different Lightbringers, in digital and with their hair out, so we 'get' the vibes. The yellow one is Inkie, one of Jubie's *besties!!1!*, the pink one tho is Morty, and she was made by a friend of mine @firefries !)

They glow so much actually, that yeah, they can light up entire streets. And there's an entire part of the City, placed in the old sewer system. They can't get any light down there. So these Lightbringers are paid to hang out and roam these areas, to simulate a sense of light. Pretty sweet job! Almost all Lightbringers are 'fish people' too, so they love hanging out in murky freezing waters! They wear fun or convienent swimwear 'at work', and to them, it's like getting paid for lazing around on a depressing beach. They also roam the streets, look for any lost or drowning citizens, and guide them to their destination. These fellas have not only glowing hair, but souls too, as they're some of the cheeriest and most excitable people to be around! Who wouldn't be tho, when they stop by an ice cream stand, that still counts as work for them!

Before though, these guys were hunted, to be used as lanterns for humans. For that, they started covering their hair with intricate scarves and 'socks', wrapped all around. These coverings were also used as bonus storage for items. Nowadays, even tho relatively safe, the Lightbringers kept the scarves. They're almost a part of their small culture, and took on a more fashionable direction - with many patterns, pins and bands, the customization and personalization options are truly endless! And these scarves aren't for fashion only. In my world, most people aren't born with the conditions they 'recieve', and so it was for the fish folk who's hair now glows. They were used to darker or 'normal' light, and their hair glows so brightly, it makes seeing in small places with them impossible. And they can't even sleep in so much brightness, it tricks their brains into thinking it's still day. So they wear the scarves essentially everywhere outaside of work. On sunny streets, in stores, at home, ESPECIALLY in bed! And they're quite proud of them!

So Jubie, obviously she LOVES hearts! and the color pink.

She's a very sweet and upbeat girl. A bit absent-minded and loud, but well meaning. She's convinced everybody around her LOVES shopping, getting bubble tea and makeovers! She's got that one way of saying "OH MY GOSHHHHH!" and is the girl who says "HIIIII!!!"

She actually doesn't have fingernails! so she just paints her fingers pink. she makes of it what she can.

She smells like bubblegum and artificail strawberry, all mixed with a hint of fish and mud stank. And oh! Originally, she's got remains of a carp rooted deep down (she was supposed to have a 'moustache' too, but it was messing with the head shape too much) And she's as stupid and indestructible as they are. She's an invasive species on her own. not in a mean way, she just wants everyone to be happy over things she loves and cares about! And once you let her in, she's impossible to get rid of. Also she's an omnivore and will devour literally anything (but mostly bugs and worms. she loves them when they still squirm the most, and she puts marmalade and sprinkles over top!)

Jubie's full and real name is Jubilee Giggles, and whilst everybody gives her weird looks for it, girlie simply used her right and picked a name, which in her eyes sparks hapiness and makes everybody smile.

Jubie also survived The War. She feels for all her brothers and sisters, and comes to mourn them every 6 months. She has lost her own sister and parents. Being left alone and orphaned were another reason for her switching to such a stupid name. She does not want to be reminded of the family she's lost, and in this new world, everybody is grieving for their own loss so much, they won't ever care for her relatives and what they meant.

Jubie has 2 besties so far!! Inkie, a fellow Lightbringer, and Pogo, an actually succesful actress who's on a path to stardom! Together they meet up all around the sewers, and when they're not shopping and enjoying life, they play beach sports, like volleyball! Jubie's also constantly looking for a new gf/bf (nobody can keep up with her!) so those 2 are her cheerleaders in this journey.

Jubie also has an apartment! This queen can provide for herself, and she shares it with another Lightbringer! (He has yet to be designed, but I am SO tempted to name him Chad...) The Chad guy? Just like Jubie looks suitable for pole dancing, Chad flat out looks like a stripper. He works on fixing the electricity and pipes all around the sewers as additional income besides lightbringing. And he's well known for looking like a handyman stripper. Bro's pants keep falling off all the time. And just like Jubie, there's not much in his brain left. Those 2 share a braincell, and they always leave it at home too. Their household is visited often, and all the neighbors know them, for their unmissable glow and appearance. Jubie's friends love to come over to look at Chad, and Chad's friends love to see Jubie too. And through all this, Chad and Jubie's relationship is as asexual as it gets. They see each other as very good friends (besides the fact they both can't clean up their clothes and they always argue over who's the messier one. It's a tie every time.) And they help each other with fixing their scarves every time - because you can never see if the top part is covered well enough! And mutual haircare is actually seen as a very comforting and sweet activity for the fish folk!

Also I said she wasn't a stripper? The heels were drawn before when i was convinced I wanted to draw her in a jean miniskirt. Times change. The shoes were too funny to be erased. But honestly, Jubie knows how to do striptease. So does Chad. They don't mind earning money on the side. And they can order the fanciest fish food in the town when it works out! So it's a steal! And thanks to Pogo's connections, both of them acted in *adult* movies. They thought it'd be fun (also tbf the genre and culture around these things in my world is...different. Half the time there are flamethrowers and mlg effects edited in) and also aren't capable of remembering more than a4 page worth of text/lines.

They stupid, but mean well.

Fish people.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS MEME A meme for first meetings and introduction threads, or a ‘What you will notice about my muse’ cheat sheet. Copy from template meme: x , don’t reblog. 

GENERAL APPEARANCE

Sex: Feminine. Notes: afab and has never encountered a reason not to just go with that, though really she doesn't strongly feel pressed about presenting as any particular gender, like. She's Tech. It's sort of a non-thought? Gender is a performance and she is the show's tech crew.

Race: Caucasian

Complexion: Fair and freckled; holds a little color, but even now she's more likely to freckle further (or even burn) than tan very deeply. Pale girl struggles. (At least she's not as pale as Vi-)

Height: 5'2"

Build Type: Slight. Other / More Details: In terms of physical development, she fell behind in her preteen years for a variety of reasons (but mostly because of interference/side effects) and never caught up or reached her full potential. She's not frail, but she'll never be particularly strong, and she struggles to put on any mass, muscle or otherwise (also for many reasons but mainly because of that interruption in her growing years.)

Hair: Varies a little from a shorter bob (close to her chin) to kind of medium (touching her shoulders) with choppy layers and a slight wave texture Color: Naturally red; it was lighter when she was younger, almost more strawberry blonde, and got darker as she got older, into coppery, rusty shades. I tend to draw it orange because it suits her but I do technically think it has mostly been natural lately, because of her smuggling efforts/fake city identity. Style: She wears it up a lot to get work done, often putting it into a ponytail or sometimes a big jaw clip or with a hair stick. Lots of smaller clips for the many little flyaways. When not working she generally leaves it loose, because having it up for long periods tends to give her a headache or make her head tender

Eye color: Hazel Notes: Often described as curious, sharp, and/or seeing. A little wide-eyed vibes, too, sometimes.

Scars: Quite a lot of little ones, largely work-related (burns and cuts on her arms and hands) and from that whole survival thing. Some more notable ones include: one through her right eyebrow, one on her outer left arm, the Many on her outer left thigh, and the entry and exit wounds on her upper back and chest respectively. It's probably worth noting that before her reeducation she had different scars, including one through her bottom lip, which were 'scrubbed', so anyone who knew her before would probably note she looks different, even if they couldn't exactly place why.

FASHION

Fashion Style: A little tomboyish at times. She's got some clothes purely for functional reasons when dealing with bigger scale projects, and the rest of the time it's very... early thousands punk-y/grunge girl, spiky updos and all Notes: In terms of silhouette, think like Linds.ey Lo.han and her on-screen friends in Freaky Friday - actually kind of just early thousands Lindsey most of the time? Avril La.vigne(!). Early thousands P!nk a little bit. Whichever of those Mary-Kat.e n Ash.l.ey movies is the one where they have this vibe.

Typical Clothing: More fitted tops, t-shirts and tanks, paired with looser bottoms that are usually cargo-pants in spirit if not literal application (pockets!!! a must-have.) Sometimes she has a jacket or secondary loose layer over top, sometimes she does not. It's not usually Noticeable with a capital N I don't think but there is a pattern/fact of her shirts never touching her neck- they either have some kind of dropped collar to begin with or she will alter it. She dabbles in clothing theft, but usually more for sleepwear than every day. Loves a good giant shirt for sleeping.

Color Palette: Maybe like.... orange, green, pink? A dash of teal and yellow? All over the place if we're honest. The more regular note is: stripes. She wears a lot of striped tops in particular- she's owned no less than three different orange striped shirts. Her pants, if only because she likes the cargo style, tend to be the more neutral part of her outfits, ranging around in khaki and dark greens, dark blues, grey- you know. Cargo pants colors. She's owned at least two pair of camouflage colored/patterned pants, one of which she cut into shorts at some point (and the second pair to replace the first lmao)

Jewelry & Piercings: Her ears are double pierced on the lobes; she tends to wear studs in the higher/second set, and likes dangly bright charm earrings in the lower/first set. She had a septum piercing at one point but I don't know if it's still there. She does not and will not wear necklaces (though may occasionally pull her goggles down and leave them there, while she's working. Mostly they go up on her head though.) She likes woven bracelets, and anything clicky-clacky (but not jingle-y) like wood and plastic. She picked up the habit of wearing 'bad luck beads' from a certain someone.

Tattoos: N/A

Other Information: Gloves! Fingerless. Sometimes practical but more often a fashion/cultural thing, the patterned useless kind. Headphones sometimes, and welding goggles of some kind, I haven't settled on a particular style. I'm still not sure I'm committed to the cat ear helmet, but. Potentially there is also the cat ear helmet sometimes (<- which would not be in that color but that is soooo the vibe, the energy, if she does have one)

EXPRESSION

General Facial Expression: Fluid and ever-changing, even when she's otherwise placid. It would be incredibly heart-on-her-sleeve if not for the fact that her expressions and moods don't match the way you'd expect. (In fact, it often counterintuitively serves to obscure what she's thinking; people generally have a hard time reading her expressions (and sometimes body language). More information does not always mean better clarity.)

Default Body Language: Much the same as her expressions, though a little more traditionally matched. Small for scared, fidgety for nervous, tall shoulders for angry. The problem is more that she doesn't really seem to have anywhere to settle. There is no default, only wherever she's at that day.

General Movements: Cautious and guarded. A hand-talker, though she's often known to keep herself strictly contained in unfamiliar settings— she's typically an incredibly high self-monitor, constantly aware of where she is in a space, how much of it she's taking up, if she's in the (apparent) way, how close people are to her, etc. etc. Thus, she gives off this sort of... tightly wound energy. Like she wants to go big, but won't commit. When at work on a project she's very nimble and clever, generally confident, almost a whole different vibe: she's great at tiny fiddly machines and wires.

NOTABLE FOR RP

Presence: In person, usually pretty innocuous. She's colorful yeah but in home setting that's the norm, so she doesn't generally stand out in a crowd. She mostly just wants her own space, but with her wandering expressions and habit of talking to herself and the occasional little tic, some people are put off and/or rude to her. She also... doesn't necessarily Miss social cues, but will fail to initiate them first, or the way people expect. She's just... a bit odd. Has some crazy currency. Over the transmitter she's an absolute menace and regularly antagonistic to anyone who gets on her nerves even a little.

Appearance: Always at least a little wild looking— her hair messy, her clothes crooked. She (accidentally) ends up with tears in the knees of her pants a lot. A little like... you know how people dress after they develop a personal style but before they get it in their head to be self-conscious about being "put-together"? It's kind of like that. There's an energy and a vibe just not necessarily a huge amount of polish — things she likes, rather than outfits she puts together for people to look at. Also, with all her workshopping and tendency to bump her elbows and scrape her knees ... a little bit spicy kitten feral. A dash of mad-scientist. Odd little bug.

Scent: Ignoring the obvious notes to be made about people in apocalyptic-esque settings (although I really think. Personal HC disclaimer or whatever but I think it's not that bad, broadly speaking. No-showers georg probably exists but... there is a city actively manufacturing things, and a thriving smuggling scene, and an entire trade system, and sort of prairie-culture more than apocalypse wasteland, you know? it's more about conserving the safe water than not having the access to the necessities, I think. Dry alternatives are probably popular. ANYWAY-) I think anything else noticeable might be... a little bit of a (good) cat-smell, because of how much time she spends with Glitch+how often he's sitting standing or laying on her.

Voice Description: Honestly I have never had a particular association other than knowing she talks fast.

Accent: (This was presented as a "yes/no" question and I am here to say: Everyone Has An Accent.) More information: There's a kind of... zones accent? That isn't formally plotted out but just sort of developed as we were writing. It involves lots of dropped consonants + some Spanish influence and rapid-fire sentences ft. all that slang. To me it's always seemed almost... American South in terms of vibe? But that might be a biased take on it. I don't know that it necessarily sounds that way, like with the same vowel placements, but it reads that way to me.

Speech Mannerisms: Sort of wobbles between some natural leanings and just a little bit of putting-on — she tends to exaggerate her 'zone accent' a little bit when she's feeling either superior or inferior or if she's just trying to make a Point of something. Naturally a chatterbox, though it might take her a bit to warm up (and sometimes she also goes entirely nonverbal). Time alone during years she should have been expanding her social skills led to her talking to herself out loud a lot, and sometimes she forgets people like to be able to respond. If she gets snapped at or fussed at specifically for talking a lot/too much she's incredibly likely to A) snap back and then B) become a lot more stiff and/or outright refuse to speak with a person anymore. Practices being brave about things she doesn't want to say by saying them AllinOneBreathWithNoSpaceAndVeryVeryQuickly

Anything else to add? People who think they have her figured out off a first impression and go on to try and predict and/or direct her behavior typically set off several alarms for her, and always fuck it up one way or another. This is largely lefftover from the way her mother treated her. I know what specifically sets it off, and how to avoid it but don't like to announce it because then people. try to Outwit it. and it annoys me.

Coming Out

Penn felt strangely free while he was on his skateboard through the almost desolate streets of the city. The way the cold wind brushed against his body, how the rays of light from the almost setting sun bathed him and the way he increased in speed with each push he made with his legs. He didn't know how to describe those sensations. Penn felt a vibration in his pocket; he took out his cell phone and saw a message from his mother:

"Come to our house soon, everything is ready".

True, it was his birthday, his 19th. Penn didn't much like the idea of ​​celebrating it, he'd never been excited about it, but what else could he do? He had no choice. At the next corner he turned in the direction of his house, and went on his way; however he tripped over something and fell.

"What the hell?" he thought as he rubbed the areas that hurt him for an instant. "Was it a stone I didn't see?" He wondered, since he didn't seem to have seen anything on the asphalt. He looked towards where his skateboard was and a strange object was on its side. He got up to pick up his skateboard and noticed it: a mask. "Did you magically manifest or what? I didn't see you." He grabbed both his skateboard and hooked it onto his back, while he held the mask in his hands. "It's horrible… I like it." He looked to the sides of him and there was no one paying attention to him, so he chose to take it with him, who would miss such an object anyway?

Penn returned to his mother's house a few minutes later, as he had decided to go on foot. Upon entering, his mother and some of his classmates when he was at school gave him a small party with a vanilla and strawberry cake. Everything was going as expected, excellent, but still Penn couldn't feel that joy inherent in a birthday; that caused him a certain disgust with himself. Was it repression? Mere disinterest? In any case, absolutely no one had noticed the mask, perhaps thinking that it was a peculiar gift that he had bought for himself.

The little celebration over, Penn, carrying a bag of gifts, headed to his own house and into his bedroom. On the bed, he was unwrapping the different gifts. An envelope with some bills, a new shirt, a bracelet, and a letter with a love confession on it from one of the girls who attended.

Girls, Penn has never been drawn to them, despite having a somewhat intense libido. So many sexy girls that had been proposed to him and none of them interested him. To tell the truth, he was never interested in anything.

After seeing all the gifts, Penn looked back at the mask. It didn't seem like a big deal to him at first. He turned it over and saw a greenish glow appear from left to right.

"Wait… What was that? What does that mean?". For a moment he thought it had been an optical illusion; it caused him a particular intrigue, an inexplicable feeling that promised great things, mysterious, but great... When Penn blinked, he realized the strange closeness between the mask and his face, until finally he felt that cold and rough wooden surface on his warm and somewhat soft skin.

The mask, as if coming to life, began to move, stretching himself and expanding by thick tendrils. The feeling was mostly uncomfortable, so Penn wanted to take it off for a moment. He moved his head forward, facing the ground; however, the mask did not fall off. He trailed his fingers to the edges of the mask, painfully pulling, unable to feel where his skin ended and the mask's began. It crept over his head gently, like someone calling for a new gift. Penn didn't give up: he caught the edges of the mask around his lips and pulled; he felt like he was going to come unstuck, but he cried out in pain, and stopped pulling, making the mask hit his face hard, and helplessly, the tendrils covered his head, joining at the back of his head.

Penn felt invaded by new, strange, intense sensations... The mask emitted greenish smoke, crackling sounds resounded throughout his body, his clothes vanished, strange patterns (like tattoos) were drawn on his body, the mask's tone changed to being a lime green and its meatier texture. After a while, Penn couldn't handle so much on him and he fell to the ground, invaded by the gas...

(...)

A hand gripped the edge of the bed and used it as an initial push to get up. The figure was smiling, positive, with new vibes and energy to give and demonstrate.

"What a rush!" said the man and from his pocket he took out a mirror so he could see himself better. The most remarkable thing about him was his new handsome green face, which made a sexy contrast to the color of the rest of his skin.

"Wow, I look really handsome, awr…". He told himself and tossed the mirror aside. "This is amazing! I've never felt like this before… what else can I do?!" he exclaimed and, at great speed, left his house creating a hole in the wall.

Masked Penn got the skateboard from him and spun it. In doing so, rockets were added to the board at the rear for propulsion. He got on top of it and fired the rockets. The speed and adrenaline he felt was incomparable to any everyday experience. He would go through the streets (and sometimes from roof to roof) with his tongue hanging out, with the wind blowing his skin and leaving a fiery trail as he passed. He visualized a ramp and headed for it. Masked Penn flew through the skies, getting a beautiful view of the city at night, and in a few seconds he was back on the ground.

He had fallen in a park, where he stopped. The people who were there watched him, some with curiosity, others with surprise at the unusual way in which he appeared. He was no longer half naked, but was wearing a full suit, somewhat formal, but somewhat provocative. The park lights were pointed at him and Masked Penn, feeling the spotlights, began to sing and dance. The others didn't even know what that crazy man was doing, where the music was coming from, but they danced to the beat, as if they were in a music video. Masked Penn, at the end of his song, took a few presents out of his hat and handed them to each one and, like a gust of wind, said goodbye to them and left, leaving the people there in confusion.

Masked Penn returned to his room and noticed the holes he had created. "Next time I'll remember to use the window" he commented and laughed. From his pocket he took out a pencil and drew the rest of the wall that he had destroyed on his way out. "Look mom, I'm an artist!".

He then walked a bit and came across a huge mirror. He admired himself for a moment and was starting to get excited. He took off his clothes and started groping all over his body. Little by little his penis grew hard and his size increased to proportions that Masked Penn couldn't seem to ignore. A dirty thought passed through his head.

"Does it count as 'losing my virginity' if it is with myself?" he asked comically before extending his own cock, curving it and inserting it over his hole. It was a miracle, heaven on earth, something unique and unrepeatable. He thrust after thrust after thrust as he pinched his nipples and screamed uncontrollably. Half an hour passed before he ejaculated (he made it out), flooding the floor, and he fell back on the bed somewhat exhausted. "This is the best gift I ever had…". And he fell asleep.

Thanks to @thesantorias94 for the masked pic.

ok last one (for now xD) may i request the entire bedroom headcanon prompt list for kira 👀? i feel like the set design team for teen wolf had no idea what they were doing with any of the characters xD

- @bebbie-bilinski

🍓Little Kira Bedroom headcanons 🍓 ➢ event masterlist

[pictures included]

1. What kind of bed do they sleep in? What size is it?

- she sleeps in a full size bed that’s a memory foam mattress, she can get pretty sore from all the fighting she does while big so having something soft and squishy is really nice when she gets home and can regress. She really leans into her feminine side when she’s regressed, often feeling that it gets overlooked in turn of people focusing on how she’s a kitsune instead, so a lot of her bedding/room is “girly girl” pink. including a canopy that Scott got her after finding out about her regression, she adores it and will invite Scott over so they can sit under it & watch shows or read books. her bed frame isn’t bulky or anything special really, just something she picked up from ikea but she likes keeping it tucked against a wall so she has less of a chance of rolling off (she moves a lot in her sleep)

2. How many pillows do they sleep with? What’s the color of their pillows?

- so so many pillows and stuffies on her bed at all times!! sometimes she wakes up with half of them kicked off her bed just out of the sheer amount of them. her two main pillows have strawberry pillow cases but her actual bed has a pink silk fitted sheet. her favorite throw pillows are a fluffy pink heart that she tucks under chest when she lays on her stomach to watch movies & a cherry blossom pillow, that Lydia got her, she uses to prop her phone up

3. How many blankets do they sleep with? What colors are they?

- she keeps her comforter folded at the end of her bed and opts to sleep on top of her sheets, and she uses at least three different fleece throw blankets every night! the hall closet closest to her room is filled with a bunch of throw blankets, seasonal or just random ones she’s acquired over the years. the ones below are just some of her favorites

4. Where do they keep their clothes? How are their clothes organized?

- her clothes are stored in cloth organizers she keeps in a wooden shelf made for them! she used to have a dresser but the organizer is easier for her to navigate and doesn’t take up as much space as her old dresser

5. What kind of light sources do they have? How many do they have? Why?

- there are so many lights in her room she sometimes finds it hard to keep track of them all. there’s her main light that’s attached to her ceiling fan, the lamp she keeps on her nightstand, led lights that are lined around her whole room, fairy lights she trails along the canopy Scott got her, at least two of those light projectors that display different colored patterns on her walls/ceiling, and she has two nightlights that are used almost every night. the nightlights are those squeezable ones as they’re battery charged and she won’t need to get up from bed to get to an outlet if she ever wanted to turn them off

6. What colors are their bedroom walls?

- they’re white, it’s versatile and will fit any aesthetic she could want to decorate with

7. What does their bedroom look like? What kind of furniture do they have in there? How big is it?

- it’s a decent size bedroom, not too small for Kira to feel like she’s running out of space but not big enough for her to not know what to do with it. as I said, her bed stays against a wall, her nightstand next to it and then her organizer of clothes at the end of her bed so she has maximum space on her floor. she also has a small white vanity that’s on the other wall of her room

8. What kind of floor does their bedroom have? What color?

- she has a wood floor since things get a little too messy for a carpet. It’s not too dark of a wood but not super bright, she likes it

9. Do they have any toys? Do they sleep with any of them?

- she has a plushie army! there’s a million of them and they all have names. she also has a pretty big collection of littlest pet shop & dolls, barbie and monster high are her favorite!

10. Do they have any rugs? If so, what color are they?

- she has a small circle shag rug that’s pink and matches some of the decorative pillows on her bed!

11. Are there any decorative elements to their bedroom? What are they? Why?

- she has a shelf where she keeps her tea & tea pot and while that’s not purely for decoration, she really likes how it looks. there’s other miscellaneous things scattered around on her nightstand or vanity that’s decorative. a lot of it is to remember trips she’s taken, places she’s moved from, memories she shares with people from the pack, and some things her parents have gifted her over the years. there’s also a few plants she has, she’s really good at growing things and she likes to sketch them while she’s little

12. What are some of the things they do in their bedroom?

- loves loves loves to sing & dance around in her room! She also likes to practice with her lacrosse stick if she’s feeling big enough, she knows better than to touch her sword while small. she loves to watch movies too, she’s even gotten a projector she’s able to set up on her nightstand and point towards the wall where her vanity is to watch!

13. Do they share their bedroom with anyone. If so, who?

- nope! she has no siblings so nobody to share a room with, but occasionally malia or lydia will stay over!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VAIL!!!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! AS WELL~

Today is not only the first day of 2024, but also the the birthday to best boi Vail. I drew him some soft uwu art because he is a soft uwu boy. Well, he is to Lei LOL. I would not say he's soft and uwu to anyone he has killed.

This outfit is based off the one I designed for Lei and her friends way back! I'm planning to redesign it XD cuz it's concept art for a series of illustrations I want to draw... I have so many WIPs both in sketches and in my brain it's kind of painful... cri... Anyways this outfit is more modern and I didn't change too much for Vail's design but I did add some patterns into his parka -- the cat face and some of his signature V's! The blue plaid inner lining is actually one of my fave parts of his whole outfit! :3 Cuz the theme in that series was their theme colour + plaid... man I really like that series 🥺🥺🥺 I want to draw that concept art so bad.

I think he turned out pretty cute here! I especially like how his hair turned out~ His blue gradient hair is one of my fave parts of his design, after all!

So what did he receive on his birthday as gifts? In my headcanons, not sure what Lexi would have given him tbh... but she's a rich girl so I imagine a previous gift was the red bike he uses XD Zoey's gift to him would be some nice alcohol or maybe one of the masks from her stash. Keeper's gift to him would definitely be something SHE personally finds cool... which probably happened to be a shiny holographic card from her personal collection. Possibly of a cat because they both like cats. Rose's gift? I'm not really sure. In my headcanons, Rose usually is the one who buys Vail cake since Rose knows of Vail's sweet tooth (specifically strawberry shortcake!). For dad vibes I imagine Rose often gets Vail some clothing as well xD Maybe fuzzy socks this year? :3 Maybe accessories some years? (Ex: like those silver chains he's wearing. In my design of Rose I gave him gold chains XD #drip).

As for Lei? Oh boy buckle up. It went something like this (this may be copium delulu and not canon but that's okay):

After already seeing his friends throughout the day, Vail sat on the couch of his apartment and waited for Lei to come home. She had asked him specifically to wait toward the evening as she apparently had a special surprise for him.

He was petting their cat Meng, a cat he had technically got for her during her last birthday, when he heard the sound of the door being unlocked. Meng let out a loud meow and leapt out of his lap and ran toward the door, being the loyal and affectionate cat she was. Vail followed suit.

Lei scooped Meng into her arms and gave the cat little pets and scratches on the chin and head. Meng purred as she always did, flopping over in Lei's arms and wiggling around.

She then turned to Vail with a smile and kissed his cheek, while still holding Meng in her arms. "I'm home~ Did you miss me?"

"Yeah." Vail replied honestly. He kissed her back. "I did."

Lei hummed happily and went to the kitchen table, placing the cat on there as she began to rummage through the multiple bags she had brought home.

"I heard Rose already got you a cake but I had already placed the order so you'll get two." She was saying, as she pulled out a cake box and placed it into the fridge. There was already a strawberry shortcake sitting in the fridge, so she seemed to struggle to place it on another shelf. Ever since she had moved in with him, there was considerably more food in the fridge.

"Do you want to have dinner first or are we having cake for dinner today?" She asked as she turned back to face him.

Vail smiled at her cheekily. "Depends on what kind of cake."

It seemed to take her some time to process his words because she first furrowed her eyebrow, looking at him with confusion, before a blush crept on her face. But she leaned in anyways to whisper, her breath hot in his ear, "You can have whatever cake you desire~ You're the birthday boy, after all~"

He barely resisted the urge to throw her over his shoulder and do as he pleased with her, but luckily she stepped back to the table to go through her other bags so this thought passed.

"Before that, though, let me give you your gift." Lei said, as she pulled out what looked to be a leather collar. It was dyed a light blue, similar to the colour of his hair and had a silver buckle. There was a silver tag on it, and when he flipped it over, the words "Belongs to Lei" were inscribed in the back. "Since you've been a good boy and all." She smiled mischeviously at him.

Looking at such a cute smile, he felt like there was no choice but to take the collar, which was soft and supple, and he started to put it around his neck, right above the turtleneck underlayer he always wore.

Lei seemed to be much more hesitant and less confident now. "You don't have to actually wear it..." She said, her voice trailing off. "This one was actually a joke and your real gift is in this other bag." She tapped another bag and there was a solid knocking sound.

"Of course I do." He said with a smile, showing off the sharp canine teeth she liked so much. "It's a gift from you, after all."

She looked at him then, biting her lip a little, as she raised the green eyes he liked so much to meet his. "I do have to say, it's a good look for you~" She reached out and slid a finger under the collar, gently pulling him closer to her. "I have good taste, if I do say so myself~"

He went with her willingly, as he always did. It was near impossible for him to resist what she wanted. "Is part of my gift the same as the one from Christmas?" He asked with a little smile.

She smiled back at him. "But of course~ You can take that part of your gift whenever you'd like."

"I'm looking forward to that~" He said. "After we have dinner. You're going to need the energy."

But he couldn't help but give her a few hungry kisses. They were appetizers for the main course after all.

[insert suspicious line break]

Later, when she had fallen asleep, he gently twirled a piece of her hair in his fingers. It had gotten longer and the green underdye had shifted in position. She had asked him once if he preferred long hair or short hair, but he had told her honestly that he would like whatever length of hair she had. It wasn't so much the hair that mattered, but the person who that hair belonged to.

Months before if you had asked him if he planned to find a lover he would have scoffed and said no. It would be a bad choice for any runner who could die at any moment. And at the time, there was no one he could imagine liking him in such a way. Although there was someone who came into mind when Rose had asked him. The smug bastard probably already knew what was in store for him.

When that same person he had thought about at the time asked him if they could be more than friends... he couldn't help but give into such a dream. The dream of being loved and loving someone.

He was already relatively content with what he had: He was good at his job as a runner if you could call it that; he had people who he could talk to and understood him as they had gone through the same things as he did. They had taken away his ability to dream at night, but it didn't stop him from daydreaming. As his parents had told him -- or perhaps warned him -- long ago, he was a dreamer who always wanted to dream of more.

He still dreamed for himself. But he now also dreamed for others; wanting others to have their dreams fulfilled. It was only fair, when some of his dreams had come true.

He took the sedative he needed to fall asleep. Lei always looked so sad when she saw him take sleeping pills, so now he always waited until she was asleep before he did. After all, he needed to sleep, as there would be another day he'd have to get through when the morning broke again.

Wrapping his arm around her, he let himself daydream a little longer, thinking of sunshine and a future where his friends and loved ones were safe and happy. He was still thinking of these happy things when the sleeping pill took affect and darkness claimed him.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

Yeah so the collar was a gag gift but u know I write these two as very horny so uhmm... things had to happen.

The actual gift she got him was a bike helmet that is made of out of sturdier material which matches his red bike! He broke the last helmet he had in the campaign LOL + I imagine the bike helmet she got was a cat eared one! Also hopefully from the same vendor / store Maric buys his helmets from cuz that shark boy has never revealed his face XD

BUT I MEAN I THINK THE ENDING IS KINDA GOOD XD Soft hours and some hurt with comfort thoughts you know

I love them so much 🥺🥺🥺 My OC OTP.

Rating Every Strawberry Shortcake Design*

I haven't made this clear on my Tumblr before, but I love Strawberry Shortcake. Something about the tv shows and official artwork always puts me in a good mood. So, because I feel like it, I'm going to talk about the designs she's had over the years and give them the tier list rankings.

Before I do that, I have to lay down a few ground rules.

1. I'm not doing every single design. Even if I limited it to one generation, there'd be so many different versions of Strawberry in dresses and swimsuits and winter clothes to rate that I'd never get it done.

2. What I will include are the base designs from official artwork and the tv-show versions if they have notable differences.

3. I'm judging these by the design alone. The artsyle won't factor into my ratings at all.

4. My opinion doesn't invalidate yours. I'm going to point out a lot of issues with some of these designs, but if you like them anyway that's fine. I'm not here to change anyone's mind, I just want to share my opinions.

5. This is how my tier list ratings work:

S tier is rarely objective. It's usually for designs I really like regardless of quality.

A tier is for great designs with little to no flaws, it's one I try to be really objective on.

B Tier is for good designs that for whatever reason, don't impress me like the ones in A or S tier do.

C Tier is for okay designs. They might be boring or get something wrong, but at the very least, they function.

D Tier is for bad designs. I don't hate them, but I don't think they get much right either.

F Tier is for designs that are straight up terrible or ones that I hate. I tend to have strong feelings about anything in this tier.

With all the boring stuff out of the way, I can begin the rating! Starting off with...

1970's Keller design

This is Strawberry's most iconic design, and it's not just because she was the first one. This version of Strawberry went for a bit of a rag doll look and is clearly a baker. That's one of my favorite things about it since none of her future incarnations make that a part of her design. It's a little disapointing since bakery-esque outfits can be really cute, but if it could only happen once, I'm glad they got it right.

The patterns are a little too much for me, with the stripped stockings and the polka dots and the green diamonds and the row of x's on her apron. The use of color more than makes up for that though. I love that they were able to use green and white as accents without drowning out red as her main color. I kinda wish her hat was closer to red than it was pink, but it works fine as is. My final compliment is that the ragdoll elements(yarn-like hair and fingerless hands) make the design better instead of worse. Ragdolls can look a little creepy in my opinion, but the parts of that look this design borrows makes Strawberry look more childish in a good way. Pretty great design, A tier.

1990's THQ Design

So this one is...weeeird. As far as I know, This era of Strawberry shortcake didn't have a specific theme, it was just cute girls doing cute things. If that was all it needed to do, I'd put it B tier because it does that pretty well. It has a cute color pallete, cute clothes, from that perspective it does what it's supposed to do. But since it's supposed to be a design for Strawberry Shortcake, it unfortunately falls flat because of how disconnected it feels. In her last design, she was clearly meant to look like a baker and the giant hat covered in strawberries added to that. But in this one, the fruit theme is very downplayed and the dessert theme is gone in favor of...balet? Sometimes?(It varies depending on the artwork tbh) The only other notable difference is that her eyes are blue instead of brown, which doesn't change anything in my book. It's a good design, but a bad fit for Strawberry Shortcake as a brand. C Tier.

2003 Bandai Design

This version of Strawberry shortcake differs from the original again, this time towards a casual look for kids. The flat mary janes, baggy jeans, and sun hat do a great job pushing that look, and I personally love how she wears the jacket, that's such a kid thing to do!

Aside from the blue in her jeans, Strawberry's color pallete here is pretty close to her 70's design. I think it's a nice way to keep the design familiar without rehashing it, though it does come with some improvements and downgrades. I like that they toned down the patterns, but don't like that red still isn't the prominent color in her design. Baking isn't a big part of Strawberry's character in this generation, so I'm not sure why they didn't add more red(granted, the version used in the TV show does by changing the stripes, but this doesn't do anything for the key art version being judged).

I think this design is solid. It's simple but effective, although I do wish we got to see her wear the jacket. B tier.

2005 Playmates Design

I'm not 100% percent sure if this is her main design from this era or a varient, so take this with a grain of salt.

Either way...this design is AWFUL. This is the 1st time the franchise made Strawberry's main color pink, and I can't stand it. But even if I could, the colors are so saturated it makes the whole fit an eyesore! It's honestly really hard for me to critique this one, but for the sake of you guys I will ignore the excessive use of hot pink to judge the rest of this design.

I also don't like the stripe patterns on Strawberry's shirt. The red stripes only emphazize the bright chunks of yellow and pink, while also blending in with her belt too much. Not surprised if you didn't notice that until now. That's the last of what I dislike...but there isn't anything I like either. I'm pretty neutral on her denim skirt, the sleeve ruffles, and the different hat. This is the only design with, in my opinion, no positive traits. F tier.

2005 Playmates Design, TV Show Version

Feel like I forgot something...oh yeah. This is the same Strawberry Shortcake from 2003, but aged up to make her seem more mature(and to sell more toys but this post isn't about that). Aside from being simpler, this design differs from the last one with different shoes, pants, and a zipped up jacket(that isn't the one from her 2003 design, real shame). Also she's wearing her old hat. It's definitely better than the last design, and it feels like a natural progression from her 2003 design, but it doesn't leave a strong impression.

For one, I don't like pink being her main color and this design does nothing to change that. It changed her hair back to red, but her outfit is still too sparse of it to me. Why did they never try making pink her accent color instead? Still not a fan of the sleeve ruffles either. The idea's cute, but since the rest of her outfit leans toward a casual look, they look out of place. Also the pant lines being under the pant pockets...is a choice. Overall it's fine, C Tier.

2007 Playmates Design

From what I know, this design barely counts since was made for a Strawberry Shortcake video game...but I just love it so much! This design leans into a gardening theme with the boots and denim jeans, but still has a focus on the titular fruit with the color pallette and strawberry patterns. While the actual outfit is pretty cute, it's the color pallette and placement that wins me over. It would've been easier and way worse if they covered her in the bright cherry red. But instead they break it up with softer reds(her hair and hat) or with blue for a nice contrast, while keeping the cherry-red on each part of her design(strawberry clip on top, blouse on middle, and boots on bottom).

I do have a few issues, the polka-dot pattern is a little garish and I wish they put some blue on the top of her design, but those are far from dealbreaking. This is my favorite Strawberry Shortcake design, S Tier.

2009 Hasbro Design

I'm going to be blunt: I do not like most of the designs from this era. They tend to have the same exact issues, so if I make this a series get ready to hear that criticism a LOT. If it's any consolation though, I'd say Strawberry's design is an exception. I like the pastel pink on her clothes and the use of green as an accent color. Making the hat look like a strawberry was a clever way to add the fruit motif into her outfit, and the shirt pattern and is a nice homage to her original design.

I do have some gripes with it though. The biggest one being the lack of red. Why on earth did they ditch the red??? It's even worse here because another character from this era is clearly supposed to have pink as her main color, but they made her share with Strawberry instead of keeping the red from her older designs.

Another small problem is the style of her clothes. They succeed at pushing Strawberry towards a more casual look, but they don't tell us much about her as a character. This generation put a larger emphasis on the characters having their own businesses, but I couldn't tell you what Strawberry's is with her design. One last gripe is the polka dot pattern on her skirt being different from the one on her hat bothers me, but it's not a big deal.

Overall this design is good. It has a nice casual vibe that's complimented with great use of color and color placement. The issues I have with it are small, but they do stop it from being great. B tier, would've been an easy A if her shoes and hair were red.

2019 Wild Brain Design

This design never became canon, but it's practically a rough draft for one that is. BIG emphasis on rough. I didn't hate this Strawberry when she was revealed, but I can definitely see why the rest of the internet did.

The real problem with this design in my opinion is the lack of direction. From what we know about this scrapped generation, it was going to take place in a forest and have the characters use magic to some degree...but NONE of that is present in her design. No fairy wings, no magic pendent or anything remotely fantastical. So that's why it's not an S tier design. But what it does go for doesn't work either. The tutu dress and stockings are a decent pair, but they clash with her shoes and beanie hat. Is she trying to dress for summer or winter? I'm also not impressed with her hair or color pallet despite the extra red, it's too generic to comment on.

Overall this design feels like a 1st draft, and that isn't because of the artstyle. Every part is of her look is either generic or clashes with other elements. There are some good ideas in this Strawberries' design, but as an ensemble they all fall flat. D tier. Don't hate it, but definitely don't like it either.

2021 Wild Brain Design #2

Looks like they did make a 2nd draft for that design after all! Yeah that's why I ranked the scrapped design, so many parts of it are present in this one.

Let's get the negatives out of the way, too much pink, no baker themes, yada yada yada.

As for the positives, most of them are unfortunately pretty light. Not enough to land it in D tier though, because this one is actually cohesive. The setting for this version of Strawberry Shortcake is in the city: no nature, no magic, just slice-of-life. So the lack of magical elements isn't a problem. I also like, say it with me, the color placement. The reds and greens are nice accents and the blue jacket pops against the shades of pink and red in her hair. The only thing that really holds this back is that the outfit's too generic to warrent anything higher than a C. So I'm going to put it in C tier.

And that's all of them(as of now anyway)! While I was working on this I had a huge hyperfixation on Strawberry Shortcake, but by now it's definitely gone away. I can't promise when I'll make another design ranking for this series, but there are still some characters I want to talk about.

[starrabbitmedia]

Could you give me a description of everyone's appearance in the human AU? I wann make them in the sims •v•

Absolutely! One day I plan on having some art done of them. It's just that the main canon stuff takes priority. Shura and Dimitri obviously look the same. (Art of Dimitri is coming soon.) For height reference, Shura is 5'9", and Dimitri is 6'4".

Felicity: She's a pear-shaped girl (curvy on the bottom but flat-chested) with very pale skin, freckles, blue eyes, and strawberry-blond hair. It's got a nice little red tint to it, but it's still very much a shade of blond.

You'll either find her wearing bellbottoms, or short-shorts. (Sometimes jean, sometimes athletic.) She also likes wearing crop-tops, which can range from the country-esque gingham, or fun 70's prints like flowers and psychedelic patterns. She also tends to keep heir hair in low-braids, or tries to do the "in" style of flipping the ends upwards if it's loose.

She's pretty tall and is actually one inch taller than Shura, being 5'10".

Milton: They are MAB, and like Shura, they are albino. Therefore, their skin is incredibly pale, and their bob-cut hair is white as snow. Milton has the albino pink-toned eyes, but always wears round, black sunglasses to keep them safe from sensitive light. Even when they're inside.

Much like Shura, they tend to cover up most of their body as much as they can with their clothes, though in their case it's specifically because they don't feel comfortable showing skin. Not just because they burn easily. Slacks, boots, and long-sleeve shirts tend to be their go-tos, and their favorite color for their shirts tends to be a merlot red.

Being the shortest of the group, they're about 5'2".

Zachary: He has very tan skin, green eyes, and absolutely beautiful dark brown curls. his hair has a LOT of volume and he takes very good care of it. He's still tall and honestly has a lot of booty for a man.

Zachary's fashion tends to primarily be men's disco fashion. A button-down shirt that is.. barely buttoned and shows off a lot of his chest, a gold chain with a medallion on it, and slacks that still have a bit of a bell-bottom feel to it. He also wears a surprisingly nice pair of boots.

He's 6'3", but is made taller by his boots.

Zachary and Felicity admittedly don't have a LOT of clothing due to living the van/truck life. They keep only what they need. But Zachary still manages to look fashionable despite this, and Felicity honestly doesn't care if people see her wearing the same outfit multiple times.

Milton on the other hand, has many outfits, but kinda suffers from "cartoon syndrome" where they all look almost exactly the same as each other.

Trick or treat!

Treat for you!! Thanks!

Here's a scene/snippet from my wlw romance The Winner Takes It All (Yelena and Embry's story):

After the class ended, Embry stood across the classroom, chatting with a cluster of women. With a warm goodbye to her partner, Yelena thanked the instructor and left on her own. Rather than her usual post-workout shower, she went to her locker and fiddled with her change of clothes. She wanted to talk to Embry again before she left, which really meant she needed to bounce ASAP. So she changed in her favorite stall, splashed some cold water on her face at the sink, and sat on a metal bench to take off her dance shoes. The left one came off without a problem, but she struggled with the right.

Embry entered the locker room with the women she’d been talking to. When she saw Yelena, though, she broke away from the pack. “You didn’t wait for me.” Inexplicably, she sounded almost hurt.

Yelena picked at the clasp of her shoe, unable to get a grip on the leather. “You looked busy.” She tried not to sound hurt herself; she held no claim to Embry’s time or attention. And she didn’t like Embry that much anyway. She dug at the strap and grumbled with more frustration than the situation merited. “Oh, come on.”

“You okay?”

“I’m fine. Just can’t get my shoes undone. Short nail problems.”

Embry chuckled. “My nails are short too, for reasons we’ve already established, but I can give it a go.”

Yelena hesitated and then extended her leg. “If you don’t mind.”

Embry knelt in front of her. “If you kick me, I’m never helping you with anything ever again.”

“If you tickle me, you deserve to be kicked.”

Embry grinned. “So someone’s ticklish, huh?”

“Only on my feet, and don’t you dare.”

“I won’t.” Embry grazed her fingertips over Yelena’s ankle and traced the line of the strap on her right dance shoe. Lightly, almost tenderly, she tipped Yelena’s foot for better access to the buckle.

Her thumb grazed the indent of her ankle. Embry cupped her foot carefully as she opened the tiny gold clasp. Her full lips parted, and Yelena couldn’t decide whether to stare at them or at her soft, gentle hands. Her breath shook. Her bare skin burned where Embry touched her. Yelena gripped the edge of the bench for balance. Was she sitting? She felt like she was free-falling, spiraling out of control—and she needed to be in control.

Embry’s lashes fluttered, and then she lifted her chin to look at Yelena. Yelena’s heart went thick in her throat. Those endless dark eyes, framed by such long lashes… a girl could get lost in them. She leaned down. Closer to Embry. Embry swayed in toward her too, her gaze darting to Yelena’s mouth.

Yelena wanted the moment to last forever. Wanted a kiss she could suddenly picture clearly, a meeting of lips long overdue. Wanted the hand holding her foot to trail up her leg, under her strawberry-patterned dress, and… and…

Embry slipped Yelena’s shoe off, cupped her calf, and gently set her foot on the floor. “Shoe’s off,” she said softly, her deep voice almost breathy.

“Thanks.” Yelena’s own voice sounded even more pitiful.

Embry shook her head in a tiny motion, rocked back on her heels, and stood. “Anyway. I’ll see you around.”

“See you,” Yelena echoed, all pitiful, and Embry grabbed her stuff from her locker and hightailed it out of there, but not without tossing Yelena a protein bar.

Yelena’s bare right foot was still on fire from Embry’s touch. Yelena sat, and sat, and sat, trying to get her brain back in working order. What the hell was that?

Fishtail (Loki x Reader)

A/N: This is the first fic I’m posting on this account, so I hope you enjoy!!

(Part of the LDR Song Series)

— ˗ˋ ୨୧ ˊ˗ —

“C’mere my love,” you we’re getting ready for your first official day at court with the love of your life. Serfs were bustling about, chatting about colors and fabrics as the small, warm breeze from the balcony came in. It brushed your face just so ever, your long strawberry blonde hair sweeping across your cheek.

“My love?”

Your focus shifted towards him, a rush of blood coming to the surface of your cheeks as you couldn’t help but smile.

“Mhm?” You hummed. The serfs prepared your dress and continued to ask you questions regardless of your answers.

“A lady should not have her hair waving about in court now should she?” His demeanor serious as he rested against his staff. As your smile fell, he came closer with his brows furrowed.

“Baby, you know i wasn’t serious.” He caressed your head, pushing the strands behind your ear.

He sat behind you on the bed, pulling your shoulders straight.

“Let me braid your hair sweet girl.” He brushed his fingers over the crown of your head, gathering a part to start braiding. You sat thoughtlessly as he gently tugged and pulled on your hair, making his way down to your ends in a fishtail pattern.

Your clammy hands sat clasped in your lap, as your teeth tugged at your bottom lip.

All you could think about was your first official day at court as newlyweds. The past month was bliss, the honeymoon surreal. Everything was forgotten till yesterday, when it was announced you and your husband would be in attendance for court that next afternoon.

“My love,”

Your thoughts cleared like clouds at the sound of his voice.

“You will be okay today. I will not leave your side, promise.” He offered his pinky just as you did as children. You took and bent yours around his.

“Promise.”

“Shall you get dressed now, darling?” He asked wrapping his arms around you.

“I suppose i should, hm?” You joked, he smiled before heading for the door.

“Ill be just outside, baby.”

You smiled as the door shut loudly behind him. Your handmaids bustled around you, taking your night clothes off and sticking you in a tight, but stunning asgardian dress, especially ordered by your dear husband.

“A lady should not wear that type of braid to court m’lady.” One of the older handmaids said, ushering to undo it.

“No,” you turned quickly, grabbing the braid as it swung around and putting it across your shoulder.

“But m’lady,” she tried to rebuttal. You’ve known her since childhood, she changed your diapers, so she had some pull on your opinions.

“No thank you. That is it.” You said coyly. She sighed and reached for the tiara you are to wear for that day.

Your cheeks grew red as she laid it on your head, realization once again seeping in.

“Are you ready my sweet?” He said through the door. Your cheeks were practically tomatoes at this point.

“Yes, my love.” You said as you opened the door. His eyes roamed over your body with such lust. A smirk appeared on his face as he put his hand behind your back ushering you forward.

As he kissed you forehead as you reached the top of the stairs, he leaned down to whisper.

“I shall thoroughly tug that braid later, hm?”

Yuta - “I said two, not twenty-two.”

Pairing: Yuta/Reader

Genre: fluff, bestfriend!Yuta

Word count: 903

Prompt: “I said two, not twenty-two.”

The sun has set hours ago. The light coming from your lamp painted weird patterns of shadows on the walls of the room. Your phone said it was nearing midnight, and you felt like you will tear your hair out by the end of the week.

Finals were coming up, starting on Monday, and you have to get everything in your head, but the only thing that seeped into your mind was craziness, not the curriculum. You studied throughout the school year too, but as the finals were coming up, formulas and historical dates simply slipped out of your head. It was ridiculous. You felt ridiculous. It never happened before, you always knew everything you learned once, but now, as you started to go over them, all of it were gone. Your mind was a blank page. Clean as a new shirt.

The only thing you could think of was calling your best friend, complaining and nearly crying to him, asking what to do. He was silent for a moment, than sounding very determined, stated that you should have some snacks, because it always helps him, so it should help you too. Even offered to buy and bring them to you. You were skeptical, but didn’t say anything, only that he should bring you two chocolate bars at least.

It was after midnight, when Yuta got to your house. He sent you a text, that he was at the front door, not wanting to ring the bell, because your parents were probably sleeping. They never minded Yuta coming over in the middle of the night, so you figured it wouldn’t be a problem tonight either.

As you opened the door, you tiredly looked at his smile, which he liked to refer to as a ‘healing smile’, then your eyes instantly went to the plastic bag in his hand. There were two bags actually, both of them full of chocolates, candies, even some drinks. What was more fascinating, that all of them were pink.

“Aren’t you gonna let me in?” He asked, smile not wavering one bit.

You stepped back. Mind running a thousand miles an hour, you tried to collect your thoughts to finally say something, but you were stunned.

Yuta hated pink food and snacks. He liked pink clothes, even owned a few shirts and sweaters in lighter shades, but when it came to food, he always said that the ones in pink wrappings were too sweet for him, therefore he avoided them like the plague. And yet, here he was, with a bunch of pink snacks, because you liked them.

After taking his shoes off, he went straight to your room, his steps comfortable and quiet, as he has been there many times before.

He gave a disgusted look to the books and notes on your desk, then turned his attention on the bags, pouring all of the snacks out on your bed.

“Sometimes I forget how girly you actually are,” he murmured, but his tone wasn’t malicious at all. He sounded casual as if he was simply talking about the weather.

One hand pointing around the room, the gesture including the coral colored walls, the pink bed sheets and the pinkish decorations. You liked it, and believed that the bright colors were a good influence on your mood. Except for tonight, when your mind went blank right before the finals’ week.

“Maybe because I’m a girl, Yuta,” you replied finally.

He flopped down on your bed, picking out some chips which you never saw before. His healing smile turning to you.

“Thank God, I thought studying did temporal damages in your head, when you stayed quiet for so long. You didn’t even greet me!”

“Oh, shut up!” Rolling your eyes, you sit down next to him, eyeing the snacks. “Just how many chocolate bars did you buy? I said two, not twenty-two.”

“Y/N, you almost cried when you called me. I figured only two won’t do the work.”

He munched on the chips, a sweet scent filling your nose. He frowned down at the pink bag, but kept eating anyway. The chocolate he brought was milky and strawberry flavored, one of your favorites. You could eat it for the rest of your life, and die happy.

“Do you feel better now?” He asked after you finished your third chocolate bar, and started to eat the chips he opened up earlier. It was weird to taste sweet and salty on chips, but you liked it.

“Definitely.”

You lay down on the bed, head resting on his legs, not minding anything in the world anymore. Thoughts about the finals ran far away. Humming in content, you read the label on the chips, but fail big time. It was in Japanese.

“When did you get this?” You inspected the bag further.

“Mom sent it last month.”

“But you don’t like pink food,” you said, offering him a small smile.

“But you do. So I asked her to sent some and I put it away for emergencies.”

“Thank you, Yuta,” your voice sounded small.

“It’s nothing.” He ruffled your hair, his smile brighter than ever. Then he lay back and told you about his football practice from yesterday, and you told him about your own after school activities, joking here and there, forgetting about finals for a few hours, and feeling grateful that Yuta came to Seoul to study and becoming your best friend.
