#theyre very distinct

One of my absolute favorite parts of golden wind is the singularly horrible outfits that the main characters wear, but not just the fact that they're terrible, no no. Sure, they all look like they got dressed with their eyes closed in a boutique for clowns, but the REAL kicker is that they did not always dress in this way??

We see the characters' backstories. We see how they used to look. And almost ALL of them USED TO WEAR NORMAL PEOPLE CLOTHES!!! Why? Why the sudden shift to kitchen sink fashion?? And, of course, there are layers to this, too.

Like. Giorno is his own whole can of worms, concerning exactly what happened between middle and high school. Sure, there's the whole hair color change thing which I refuse to acknowledge the canonical reason behind, but whatever, I can ignore that. Why suddenly decide on that hairstyle? That wardrobe? Especially considering that in every other way he's not exactly the flamboyant, attention-grabbing type... The only explanation I can think of would be, I don't know, he just happens to have a surprisingly eclectic fashion sense and high school was the first time he was able to be on his own away from home to indulge it. First opportunity to show off his individuality and he went whole hog with it, I could see that. Yeah sure you go giogio!! have as many heart shaped boob windows and ladybug brooches as you like

Abbacchio, too. It looks like he mostly dressed normal for his job, but the second he left, he transitioned to his current look? Either that’s just his usual taste or his emotional crisis led him to an emo makeover. Or both. In either case, I suppose that’s valid and I support him. His weird eggshell hat is the only part of his outfit that’s really that out there anyway

But the others??

Narancia. Mista. Fucking Fugo. They all dressed at least mostly normally right up until they joined Passione, at which point they switched on a dime to looking Like That. Sure, some aesthetic preferences seemed to carry over, like Narancia’s boyish style, Fugo’s suit pattern, and Mista’s navel window + crisscross pattern + hat. But they still used to wear, yknow. People clothes. So... Why??? What on EARTH happened???

Well...

Strangely enough, Bucciarati looks like he’s ALWAYS dressed Like That. Same hair style, same colors, same patterns... Given how much everyone else’s backstory outfits clashed with their eventual outfit choices, it’s almost weirder to see that Bucciarati clearly has clothing and style preferences that match up from past to present.

So. I can’t help but wonder.

Did... did the others just assume that, since Bucciarati (and maybe also Abbacchio) dressed Like That, that was just The Mafia Style??? The Style Of Clothing That Mafia People Wear???? So, in order to integrate themselves into Passione, they’d have to start dressing Like That too??????

Actually. Given that all the members of La Squadra and Polpo and the boss’s personal guard and the boss himself ALSO dress Like That... fuck, i don’t know, maybe they were right and that IS just The Mafia Style!! The fact it also happens to align with Bucciarati’s/Abbacchio’s/Giorno’s personal fashion sense might just be a coincidence!!! Who knows!!! Who cares!!!

Where do you even go to BUY clothing like that??? Are there special, under-the-counter sections of clothing stores that specially cater to Badcore fashion for mafia members??? Do the designers earn a special commission for designing clothes no sane person would wear that fit as uncomfortably as humanly possible??? Didn't they say at some point that mafia members try to dress inconspicuously to blend in???? RISOTTO IS LITERALLY JUST WEARING A JESTER HAT WHAT KIND OF CIRCUS IS THIS

But yeah so the logistics of part 5′s character designs drive me insane and I love it

my argument for adaine with glasses is that what else is she going to fiddle with when she earnestly says things like "um actually you can't carbon date trilobites" and what else is she going to wipe blood off of whenever she kills someone and what else is she going to leer down incredulously at you through whenever you ask her about your future. you have to consider these incredibly important things

my favourite thing about the always sunny podcast is listening to rcg all say something extremely neurodivergent and then agree amongst themselves and convince themselves its completely normal

Suns like to be chased. So what does it mean that Vongola Primo, one of the first bosses of organized crime, had a priest for a Sun Guardian?

I think that Guardians, beyond compatibility, also embody certain aspects of their Sky. And the job of a Sun is to embody the Sky's ideals, what the Sky has decided to chase despite everything - what the Sky has decided to aim for.

The Sun and the Cloud would sit as equal and opposing forces in a Sky's court. The Sun pulls the Sky forward and the Cloud pushes the Sky backwards.

Clouds liked to be challenged. Vongola Primo, again the first of all Mafia bosses, chose a cop as his Cloud guardian.

The job of a Cloud is to set a constant and consistent reminder of what the Sky is fighting. If the Sun lights a path forward, then the Cloud makes that path difficult to find. Alternatively, if the Sun is a goal - something out of reach, the Cloud keeps the Sky from burning up trying to reach it.

[Personally, I just enjoy the fact that during the future arc, out of all the guardians, Tsuna chose his Sun and his Cloud to stay behind and guide his younger self. His ideals and his principles. Not to mention, that out of all his guardians, Ryohei and Kyouya actually do take a bigger leading or guiding role (a pull from the front and a push from the back) compared to Takeshi and Hayato who happily follow.

The nice little allegory of weather patterns also makes this extra delicious. Storms and Rain require build up. But Clouds and the Sun can exist wholly as themselves.]

The Cloud and the Sun are startlingly alike. Both enjoy independence and recognize that independence within each other. They clash more often than not. But a good Cloud and Sun guardian set will understand each other as equals, regardless of the airs they like to put on. In short, they work well together and they work best as team when centering a Sky.

one thing I'll say about ovw is i think their character designs are getting weaker + the addition of mythic skins is really muddying the, like, visual language? of the game? if i cannot tell who that hero even is. that is a problem.

Nothing scratches the brain like drawing your OCs in their cultural clothing

lgbt people need to stop thinking in terms of black and white and by that i mean stop thinking our oppression as directly analogous to the oppression of black people by white people it's not the same !

You guys know lyricstucks? Those series of illustrations with lyrics on top presented (initially) in a non-video format? Is there another word for that or did homestucks copyright the idea?

I know it's because she's an attempt at a main series Sunset Shimmer and because they eventually have her be Twilight's student, but man I don't quite see the point in having Starlight Glimmer be a Twilight Sparkle parallel
