shopping spree

Plot: To fully enter the modern world, Bucky decides to switch up his wardrobe first, starting with some jeans. Unfortunately, he has no idea where to start with all the new trends and styles... but the sales assistant Y/N is more than happy to help. Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female!Reader sort of Warnings: A few mentions of Bucky feeling like a man out of time and out of his depth. But as always, if I miss any triggers, please let me know! Notes: So I saw an anon on @anothersebastianblog mention that they wanted to see Bucky shopping for skinny jeans, and it gave me some inspo, so here we are! Also I wrote most on this on the bus to work after being up since 4am so....sorry if it makes 0 sense

Bucky stands with his arms crossed, jaw clenched. This is a nightmare. He should never have done this. Ever since he got his life back, he’s decided to try to fit in more, rather than being seen as an Avenger for the rest of his life. And since Sam constantly brings up his ‘dark and depressing’ wardrobe, his first step will be to make a change by updating his clothes. Starting with jeans.

Initially, it sounded like a great idea. But now, he’s completely lost, and doesn’t know where to start.

In front of him, various styles and colours are displayed. Ones that flare slightly at the bottom that look like something he saw in the 70s, more loose fits, and ones that look so tight, he would need to be cut out of them.

And are those…holes?

“Why the hell are they selling these things half finished?” Bucky grunts to himself.

Where is he even going to start?

How is he even going to start?

Maybe he should’ve just got Sam to show him online, or stuck with what he knows, what he’s comfortable with. This was a terrible idea and-

“Can I help you find something?” A voice asks, cutting through his stream of thoughts. 

Bucky turns to see a sales assistant smiling at him. But it’s not an overly fake smile like someone desperate for a sale. No, she seems like she genuinely wants to help him.

And for the first time that day, Bucky Barnes can relax.

“Yes, please. I’m a little lost.” He admits, his gaze flickering to the floor so he doesn’t see her reaction. Despite his big, tough and grumpy exterior… all Bucky wants is to feel like he belongs. Even though he’s an Avenger, he has never felt more lost and out of place. After being a man out of time for decades, placed in and out of cryosleep, he’s completely oblivious to what the modern world is like nowadays. And of course, being blipped didn’t help either. “I just don’t know what’s cool with the kids nowadays.” He sighs.

Y/N frowns. This man doesn’t even look that old, probably mid thirties. Definitely not old enough to say something like that. But he does look lost, and she’d be lying if she said she didn’t feel a little bad for him. 

He is very cute though - with gorgeous silvery blue eyes, his short brown hair and stubble. She can also see muscles straining through his shirt, despite the jacket and…gloves? It’s enough to make her breath catch in her throat.

“Well, that depends.” She begins. “Nowadays, it’s more what you want to wear, rather than what’s ’cool with the kids’.” She chuckles. 

For a moment, Bucky frowns, expecting to be the butt of the joke. Instead, it’s the opposite. She’s laughing with him, making him feel comfortable. Bucky smiles, something in his gut fluttering.

“Thanks…” he glances at her name tag. “Y/N. I’m Bucky.”

“I love the way he says my name. And he has a lovely smile.” Y/N thinks. “Well, Bucky, I’ll show you our most popular styles and we can go from there.” Bucky nods. “Any colour ideas?”

“Black.” He answers quickly. Y/N nods. 

“A man after my own heart.” Bucky smiles. He wonders what it’d be like to know her in real life, outside of her job. To have a friend, one who isn’t an Avenger. A regular, normal civilian.

But just as he thinks that, has one moment of hope, it’s quickly squashed by his anxiety. “She’s just being polite to help you. She probably doesn’t even care about you that much. Nobody does.”

“You okay?” Y/N asks softly, bringing him back down to earth once again. “You kinda zoned out there.”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He lies. This poor sales assistant definitely doesn’t get paid enough to hear all his woes.

Y/N nods, pulling out the first pair of jeans. “These are slightly baggy, and they’re really comfortable.” She says. “What do you think?”

“Uh….” He murmurs, still feeling completely out of his depth. “Maybe not yet.”

Next, a pair of skinny jeans. “It’s entirely up to you,” Y/N insists. “but these are definitely our most popular, and they’re always in fashion.”

“And they’re not… too skinny?” Bucky asks. Y/N shakes her head. 

“Nope, they’re nice and comfy.”

Honestly, the more Bucky thinks about it, the more he trusts Y/N and her judgment. So, he nods, and she adds them to the pile. 

She pulls out another pair, one with rips all over the legs. Bucky frowns. “Those aren’t even finished! They’re destroyed.”

Y/N shakes her head. “No! That’s the style. Very…rock and roll, I guess?”

“You’re serious? People wear jeans like this?”

“Deadly.”

Bucky rolls his eyes, shaking his head. “Not for me.”

“I think you’d suit them.” She admits, smiling. “Maybe not as many…extreme rips, but we have ones with just rips at the knees.” She suggests, holding up a pair. “It’s entirely up to you.”

Bucky frowns, thinking it over. Originally, it was a hard no. But Y/N does recommend them, and Sam said to try new things. And they don’t look that bad.

“Okay. Just cause I trust you.” He says, the words slipping out before he can stop them.

Y/N’s grin widens, a sight that sets him off too. “Aw, thanks Bucky.”

~ * ~

“Ready?” Y/N asks, leaning against the changing room wall.

“Almost!” Bucky calls. The door opens, and he steps out. He’s in a pair of basic black skinny jeans.

“How are they? How do you feel?”

“I feel…great!” Bucky grins, staring at himself in the mirror. He looks so happy, so confident, that Y/N can’t help but smile just as wide as him. 

He turns, admiring the way he looks. Y/N can’t help but let her eyes drift lower. His ass looks incredible in the jeans, and she can’t help but feel her cheeks heating up. He’s gorgeous. “What do you think?” Bucky asks, oblivious to her staring.

Or at least she hopes he is.

“Y-Yeah.” She stammers. “You look incredible.”

~ * ~

After trying on all his picks, Bucky and Y/N go to pay. “Thank you so much for this.” Bucky says. “You really helped me feel a lot more comfortable and confident with this whole thing.”

“Not at all.” She chuckles. “It was my pleasure.”

Y/N rings up his jeans, and Bucky watches her. Maybe he could ask if they want to hang sometime? No, that’s creepy. She’s just doing her job, not flirting. She doesn’t even feel the same about him.

“Can I get your number?” She smiles. Bucky goes red. Or maybe she does feel the same.

“I mean, we just met, but if you wanna…..” He stammers, pulling out his phone. Y/N’s eyes widen.

“Oh, not like that.” She gasps quickly. Immediately, Bucky's heart sinks. “I just mean it’s for our rewards program. When you give us your phone number, you receive points each time you shop. After a while, you get a discount. It’s a good deal.”

Right then, Bucky wishes the ground would open up and swallow him whole.

“Oh! Oh, I-I mean…sure.” His skin is burning with embarrassment now, and he can’t wait to pay and get this over with.

Despite the second hand embarrassment flowing through her veins, the look on Bucky’s face makes Y/N’s face soften.

Honestly, she would give him her number. He may be just a customer, but there’s something different about him, something that seems to pull her closer to him.

“There you go.” Bucky quickly pays and takes the bag, ready to get out of here and home to Alpine. As he walks away, Y/N sighs. “Bye, Bucky.”

~ * ~

Later that day, Bucky takes out his new jeans. Alpine curls up in the empty shopping bag, swatting at the receipt. “Hey!” Bucky chuckles, pulling it away. “That’s not yours, buddy.”

As he lifts it up to put it away, trying to dodge his cat’s claws, Bucky spots something. A note is scribbled on the back of the receipt: 

Hope to see you again soon, Bucky. If you ever need style advice, you know where to find me. Y/N :)

Bucky grins, placing the receipt down.

He was looking for some new t-shirts, funnily enough.

How have you been!? Idk if you have TikTok or seen this trend, but it’s basically where someone is putting on lipstick and it ends up smudging the wrong way and the camera shows another person wiping it away and the other person had a bunch of kiss marks on their face.

I think it would be cute if that could be a one shot with Larissa Weems? It could be that Larissa is putting on the lipstick or the other way around with y/n?

𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐞

(𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐱 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫)

a/n: thank you for requesting this anon i really liked the idea and immediately worked on it (like i'm not working on a couple of fics already) this was too cute.

warning/s: nothing.

Larissa took the compact mirror from her desk drawer and uncapped her lipstick, mindful of your lingering eyes that glimmer with excitement, lips slightly ajar in anticipation.

She started to apply her lipstick wantonly slow. You watched it glide on her lips like butter, painting her lips red. The colour was sensual contrasting the cool, breath-taking big blue eyes. It was so tempting and inviting you couldn’t help yourself but ask for a kiss. Just a kiss. One quick peck on the lips. 

“Please?” Her lipstick wasn’t smudged proof, it would transfer to your lips but that didn’t seem to bother you at all and she had seen you proudly walk in the halls of Nevermore wearing the sheer colour on your own lips, unapologetically flaunting it to everyone. 

She chuckled and beckoned you to come closer. You complied with unbridled enthusiasm and stood from the armchair in front of her desk. Larissa stood, leaning halfway over her desk and grabbed the collar of your button-down to pull you closer and peck your lips. And as always, you giggled as you attempted to kiss her deeper, ruining the freshly applied coat of lipstick.

And it happened, again and again. In the morning before she exited your shared bedroom, you asked for a kiss just after her lipstick was done, she shook her head, and kissed you.

After lunch with the faculty, which included you, she excused herself, grabbed her little purse and disappeared in the restroom to retouch her make-up and lipstick–for the third time and it was only midday. The culprit? You.

Eventually during one afternoon, you waltzed in with your hands behind your back, Larissa didn’t think much of it. You were holding back a cheeky smile when you noticed the tube of her favourite lipstick in her hand and her lips were popping red. “No” she said immediately while shaking her head knowing how this would go.

“You will not ruin my lipstick.” she added glaring playfully,, her tone final and dismissive.

You merely laughed, stalking toward her desk, “I’m afraid you’re overreacting, Love.”

She huffed, rolling her eyes and ignoring your antics. “Why are you here?”

“Am I not allowed to visit my favourite Principal now?”

“It’s usually more than that.” she said knowingly while feigning disinterest.

“I’m actually here because I’ve got you a gift.” But it wasn’t her birthday or your anniversary. Her eyes shot up. 

You pushed the little box you had been hiding behind you. You saw her eyes lit up. “Go on, open it.” She tried to hide her excitement by rolling her eyes but her lips betrayed her by curling into a dainty appreciative smile. She took it in her hands and unwrapped the gift.

“Now you don’t have to worry about running out of lipstick.” 

In the box was three full sized lipstick in similar shade–her favourite.

“Come here, darling.” her voice was much softer now  like she was melting inside. 

Sat on her lap, her arm smoothly pulled you in, keeping you close by the waist, eyes were levelled with yours and as if that little-to-non-existent gap wasn’t enough, Rissa leaned forward, her lips ghosting on the shell of your ear, “I think you deserve a kiss.”

The kiss was fond, very sweet and gentle, short but satisfying. You thought it was over, that it was done because you confusingly watched her retouch her lipstick. You thought she would usher you off her lap but then Larissa ’s lips were hot, a little damp as they made contact with the outer corner of your eye, then to your nose and automatically, with the attention she was giving you using her lips, you puckered your own, directly asking for a kiss on your lips. She chuckled and gave in.  She nipped on your lip affectionately, moved on to kiss you down to your jaw again. 

It was so wholesome and light, then it turned to sloppy, playful bites and before you knew it her lips were smothering your whole face with kisses, faint marks filling your face like an art on a sheet of canvas. Larissa’s very own art.

The adorable sound from your lips falling in between a snort and laughter filled the room. Larissa kept kissing you, filling the areas where she hadn't kissed yet. You let her fill your face with the imprint of her perfect lips.

And then the doors flung open without any sort of warning catching you off guard in Larissa’s lap.

Wednesday’s eyes widened in disgust. Enid, who was trailing behind her bumped to her roommate when the goth girl suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Oh, hi Mrs Weems!” The werewolf greeted with a wave—you waved back. Larissa pinched your side. 

Enid had a megawatt smile on her face like finding you in their Principal’s lap, your face filled with kisses was the most normal thing on earth.

Wednesday turned without breathing a word and pulled the other girl outside. The door slammed leaving you two alone. 

“I think I just saved you from Wednesday.” you quipped and bursted into laughter. Larissa laughed along, too carefree to care–for now–about what Wednesday and Enid just witnessed before resuming to kiss you all over again.

Now this, this is heaven, you thought.

Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 🎀

Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.

🩷 What I Accomplished:

listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input

typed up a detailed goals sheet

attended both classes for the day

worked an ~8 hour shift

studied chemistry

hit over 10k steps

began looking at how to fit exercise into my schedule/club pilates classes I could take

🩷 Good Things That Happened:

my supervisor and I knocked out a large catering order on time

talked to my dad on the phone for a bit

went to my psyc class, which I typically struggle to do

Realized studying the material from chemistry was actually helping me retain the information

got semi invited to go out after work some day soon with some work friends

🩷 What Could've Gone Better:

didn't get home until late cause work took forever

got weirdly emotional before falling asleep

super short zoom call with my boyfriend

did not study Spanish the way I wanted

was super tired all day

drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)

a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other

🩷 Stuff To Do Tomorrow:

write psyc notes from lecture

study chemistry some more

decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major

double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)

study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday

keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)

cook dinner after lab

yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!

til next time lovelies 🩷

p.s - check out my depop shop, still uploading need listings as I can! 💗

💕 Song of The Day-

Le Sserafim - Blue Flame

Cigarettes and Guava

Javier Peña x Mia (plus size OFC)

Fanfiction 18+

Javier Peña Masterlist / Main Masterlist / A03 Link

Summary: Mia is tired of working the last two New Year's Eve holidays. Since she's here for a third and encounters a familiar scent, she decided to try something out in the office.

Word Count: approx 2.7k

Warnings: toxic work environment from management, masturbation, Javier Peña's lips, Javier hands (Nerdie is noticing a trend), teasing, edging, voice kink (maybe), cum eating (might be turning into a staple), every so slight begging

Notes: So I finished my pickle submission and thought about Javier some more because thots and wondered, did we see this man put anything in his mouth besides cigarettes, whiskey and pussy (maybe we didn't see that one, but my head cannon remains the same)?

No, and I know he likely hates pickles. But might be interested in a fruit that resembles something else pink and fleshy. Maybe. Thus we have this fic, not beta-ed, just out here raw.

Mia sits at her desk again on another New Year’s eve. It had been the same in the previous two years. She was told that because she has the least seniority, she'll have the graveyard shift in the consulate. 

“It’s fine. I have to pay my due, I guess.”

But she has told herself this in previous years when she didn’t have plans.

This year was different, she’d actually had plans and even went as far to request the day off and put up as a suggestion that there be a rotation for working different holidays. Most workplaces that required holidays had rotations so why was the consulate so different? Maybe it wasn’t just the consulate.

Mia had maybe rebuffed one of the manager’s invites of drinks after work one too many times a few years ago. And maybe she saw him speaking with her boss. And it was maybe then she started working New Year’s eve. Who keeps a grudge that long? And sir, there are many other women here. 

Sitting in her office, shuffling papers, staring at her office phone that in previous years she’s never had to answer because even people seeing asylum and wanting to talk to ambassadors apparently wait until after January first so she truly is the only one here. She rose to make a short bathroom trip, which on her way back, a scent caught her nose: cigarettes, musk, a little sweat topped off with…guava? It made her giggle as she stepped back into her office and plopped down, removing her light blue buttoned down shirt that had been tucked in, off her skirt  and opened her legs a bit, feeling the cool air touch her inner thighs finally. It felt so good to just loosen her clothes a bit. The dress code always called for business casual and everything to be tucked in. Mia would feel better about it if she didn’t have a stomach that was both large and she had to pull her shirt up over the lower portion of her belly. It took quite a bit of readjusting in the morning and throughout the day to ensure that her shirts didn’t bunch, making her stomach that much more noticeable. She got up, turned off the light and returned to her seat.

Her cool hands ran over the tops of her warm thighs as she continued to inhale the faint scent, she recalled who it belonged to - one Javier Peña. Her date tonight would have been with another man, one who was willing to treat her to dinner and possibly more. Well, Mia definitely would have been up for more, it had been a few months. The holidays where everyone seemed to have coupled off already and she was taking on more responsibility as those same people suddenly couldn’t work late or arrived late. 

Mia stood, huffing with her hands on her hips, it was an hour until the New Year according to the program on the radio. “Why the hell not? Seems like this is the only way I’m getting any action is if I make my own.” She used her thumbs to raise her skirt and loop around the waistband of her panties, pulling them down and placing them on her desk, she then sat back down and thought for a moment. She was really going to do this in the office? She’s the only one here so it should be fine.

The scent and all its memories had set her body ablaze. Speaking to Javier after he’s just come back inside from what his assistant calls ‘a breather’ which translated to a smoke break for him. He always puts his hands on his hips and moves his jacket away from his torso to reveal that waist of his as he assigned tasks and greeted the staff, her included. The lingering scent of the tobacco would waft from his body as he spoke combined with his baritone voice. The first time she spoke to him after he came back in, she felt quite damp afterward, embarrassed that he hadn’t touched her at all to enable her body’s reaction. Her hands slowly rose up her thighs toward her core and Mia found that she didn’t even need to lick her fingers this time before spreading her folds and slipping a finger inside. “Fuck Javi…ah!” She gasped at the sensation and lifted her left leg to set it atop the table for better leverage. With the slow pumps of her fingers beginning she reached up and pinched one of her nipples, letting herself be as loud as she wanted.

Guava had her recall when she arrived in her office last week and saw Peña eating one of the fruits off of her desk. A coworker said that she’d drop them off for her and she did, Mia was grateful that she did. The light pink juice at the corner of his mouth as she heard him slurp the fleshy rose coloured fruit. She stood in the doorway until he turned to acknowledge her with a smirk. “Buenos dias hermosa dama (Good morning pretty lady)? You’re Mia correct?” He asked, popping his tongue after licking a bit of the pink pulp off his top lip. There was a slight sheen on the tip of his nose and mustache. Mia leaned against the doorway and crossed her legs.

“I am Agent Peña, how can I help you?” His brows furrowed and she gasped lightly. “Sorry, Javi. How can I help you?” Peña gave a chuckle and gave the fruit another bite, ensuring that he licked both lips slowly this time. Mia cleared her throat and made the short trek to her desk, nearly tripping over her heels. 

“Close call there. There’s no rush. It’s first thing in the morning. Though you will need to take anything you normally use for work.” The confused look on her face must have been quite something because he tossed the empty husk of guava in the trash bin and put both of his large hands on his hips. It had Mia sitting up straight. “So you’re going to be filling in for my secretary this week. She took a trip, I don’t remember approving it, but I could have so it’s fine. Who knows, you might do a better job than her.” He gave her a head nod and she stood to follow wordlessly, scooping the fruits into her purse. It was a routine week, answering calls, setting appointments, filing. Nothing she hadn't done before, though she didn’t think Javier would be in office that much. Though it allowed her to hear more of his voice, take in more of his scent and even see him eat another few fruits. She suspected he may be teasing her by the exaggerated way he was consuming them, but she'll be back at her desk next week. The fantasy is fine, right?

Mia inserts another finger as she starts to buck her hips, calling Javier’s name. By this point, she has a light sheen of sweat on her skin and she managed to unbutton her top three buttons to fish one of her breasts out of her bra. Her voice became more ragged and higher pitched to match the frenzied squelches of her core.

A voice rang out, “Mi princesa (Princesa)? Busy tonight I see hermosa.” The light in her office flipped on.

The woman’s body froze and she nearly slipped out of her chair, turning her head toward the door. Javier Peña was walking toward her and placed his palms on the desk, his fingers strumming her underwear and observing the slick coating them. The look of embarrassment and fear on Mia’s face had Peña shake his head and he spoke again. “That’s my nickname for you since you kept giving fruit to me and enjoyed watching me eat. I don’t think you ever offered me what you really wanted.” He leaned toward her as she swallowed despite her mouth being curiously dry at the moment. “Keep going. Don’t stop on my account. I’m here to watch, after all, you called me.” Closing her eyes eyes for a moment, she re-opened them with little reservation,

“I’m not proud that you caught me, but I’m not going to apologize.” Her finger started moving in and out of her again slowly, feeling herself even more wet than she had been a few minutes ago. “I deserve…ah…to feel good…fuck…” Mia kept eye contact with Javier, his lips twitching at the sight of her continuing in front of him. He hadn’t expected her to be so bold. To him, she’d been more of a ‘yes sir, no sir, thank you sir,’ type but he clearly was wrong. Mia had a fire in her and he’d been damn glad he finally had more of an opportunity to speak to her in more than just passing. Peña had glimpses of that past week, her quips, finishing tasks much quicker than his previous secretary and asking, “Is that all? Any more you need done?” As much as Javier enjoyed women, he had an elevated level of pleasure from competent women - no matter their job or role.

“I know you can do better than that. Weren’t you just calling my name louder Princesa?” Peña teased, his eyes darkening as he bit his bottom lip. He was pressing his palms into the desk, feeling his cock ache. He was dressed casually, and had come into the office to take a quick peek and see if he had left a bottle of whiskey in his office. Javi had finished the ones in his apartment and wanted some for the New Year. He didn’t expect that on the way to his office, he'd hear his name. Not moaned in these walls. Curious, he went to see who it was. His eyes widened and he waited in the doorway, watching her. Mia hadn’t noticed him and was going faster and louder. ‘She sounds close, but I don’t want her to finish yet. No one should come quickly to my name unless I want them to.’ That’s when he walked in and surprised her and why he was watching her short fingers work to try and bring her to a peak. He made sure to pat his back pocket though, making sure he had a condom with him.

Javier walked behind the desk and set his head on Mia’s, making her eyes open as she didn't see him in front of her any more. “Hermosa, let’s switch, give me your hand.” It wasn’t a suggestion or command, he just pulled on her hand that was in her core out of her and snaked one of his hands around her waist, patting her belly before reaching down to squeeze her thigh. “Let me smell you, princesa.” Her slick fingers glossed his lips before he kissed her palm, letting her fingers graze his nose. “Tienes un olor divino (You smell divine).” Javier used his tongue to make a wet path back to her fingers and placed them in his mouth, hollowing out his cheeks on them, pulling at the skin. The sounds he was able to pull from Mia changed immediately from whines that she had done by herself to low growls as soon as he began using his tongue. Her walls were clenching around nothing with her chair now soaked with arousal. Without warning, he slipped a finger into her cunt, stretching her slightly. 

Peña heard her gasp and then curse, his grin felt on her fingers as he removed them from his mouth, “Been a little while has it princesa? All work and no play is no good for you.” He bit her earlobe, licking the bite and then nibbling on her lobe. His thick digit began to tease her walls, pressing into them as they squeezed. “Let me open you up some Mia.” he added a second finger and began to drag them back and forth inside of her, making her hips buckle. Peña dropped her hand and used his now free one to put her other leg on the desk while remaining behind the chair to keep her from sliding back as she humped his fingers. 

“Dammit Javi! Faster! I need more, g-give me…shit, more..” Mia continued to groan, reaching back to take a handful of Javier’s hair. Her head was tilted back on his shoulder, Peña’s lips scoured her exposed neck, nipping at her skin and bit into the sot flesh of her rounded shoulder. He felt her core pulling on his fingers trying to keep them inside, just one more push. 

“Scream for me princesa, say my name.” Javier cooed in her ear, he blew air into her ear before kissing her cheek. Her hips were grinding on his fingers, he knew what to do, he was just taking his time, milking her moans. 

“Make me…make me come Javier, please…” She whined, turning her head to look at him, her hips making erratic circles.

“You know what to call me princesa.” Peña cracked a smile as he heard her hiss. His lips once again toying with her neck. Soft kisses planted over the bite marks. 

“Fuck it all to hell Javi just let me-” Mia screamed in frustration at the agent, he gave her one more bite before having his lips claim her ear again. 

“As you wish cariño (dear)” Javier’s thumb grazed her sensitive bundle of nerves before circling it, Mia cried out for Javi as her cunt quivered from his fingers, spreading her slick over his hand and her chair. The little whimpers she unleashed had Javi give her a small smile as he pulled his fingers from her. He sucked her nectar off and kissed her lips so she could taste herself. It wasn’t hungry, instead a slow deliberate kiss. When he parted from her he decided, “Smell and taste better than guava Estas deliciosa (You’re delicious).”

Mia gazed up at Javier with glossy eyes as her chest heaved. She moved her legs off the desk and slid back into the chair, able to relieve some of the strain on her back. “Gracias (Thanks) Javi. Estas mintiendo (You’re lying). Go about your New Year’s celebration. I still have to finish up here…somehow.” Javier leaned against the desk, watching as Mia was adjusting her shirt and bra back, she didn’t tuck in back in though. “You don’t need to watch. I’m fine. I’ll get up when I’m ready” Or able, that was only with two fingers and his mouth. Damn. She was buttoning the top of her shirt when his hand cupped her face and had it face toward him. 

“I’m just watching you like to watch me, even before last week. Turnabout is fair play.” Planting a kiss on her forehead, he touched his nose to hers. “Come to my place with me. I’d prefer you come tonight, but if you have other plans…”

“You’re aware I don’t have other plans, otherwise I wouldn’t have been here.”

“So do something else not planned, namely me.”

Mia giggled and placed her hand on his thigh, feeling him pulse next to her hand, his bulge was moist under his jeans. “That so? Why not here?”

“I could, but we might want to be a bit kinder to your back considering what I plan on doing to it princesa, besides,” Javier slipped an arm around Mia and stood her up, having her lean on him as she wobbled a bit, “I may want to eat some guava with you instead of for you tomorrow morning.” Mia laughed and pecked Javier’s lips as he spun her around, taking the opportunity to grab her panties and slip them in his back pocket. 

The radio explained that it was already ten after midnight. “Well princesa, you started the year off on a high note and with my name rolling off your lips no less.”

“You can’t just say Happy New year like a normal person? Geez…Happy New Year Javi.” Peña had picked up her purse and was walking Mia down the hallway, his bottle of whiskey forgotten.

“I could, but would you have wanted me to Mia? Just ‘Happy New Year’ instead of my fingers? No you wouldn’t.”

“You’re right and I’m not mad about it.”

As they left the office, their banter continued and they hopped in Peña's car and drove to his apartment, a little fast for Mia’s taste but that didn’t matter as much as what they planned to do when they got there.

Day seven: A bunch of EAxis hairs I’ve messed with!

F hairshortcute “Chelsea Cut”: I wanted to try hacking up some alphas to see what meshes could work partially buzzed; this one (imo) was a great success. TF-EF. This one has some bonus unnaturals (pink, blue, dark green, and firetruck red).

F hairlong “Half Buzzed”: Less successful, but the closest I got to a working side cut on an EAxis mesh. Every other scalp mesh was busted. This one is a little pointy from some angles but... I finished it, so you may as well have it! TF-EF.

F hairfuzzylong “Curly Alpha Afro”: At first I was dismayed to see such a weird scalp mesh under the curly BG hair until I realised it made for a very cute short afro hair. It may clip strangely with some ears but I like its overall silhouette. CF-EF.

M hairlongsimple “Pretty Face”: An edit of the long AM hair from uni to keep it out of one’s face with a simple clip. I know we aren’t limited to EAxis meshes any more when it comes to femme hairs for AM Sims, but this mesh has always had a place in my heart. AM-EM.

M hairmodbangs “OFB Modbangs Neater”: I always thought this hair from OFB was meant to look dry and ratty on purpose until I took a closer look at the textures/filename and realised it was probably supposed to look cool and handsome. I tried to comb it into place, but fair warning, the mapping on this one was a nightmare so I gave up past the fringe- but that was the worst part anyway, so IMO it’s an improvement. AM-EM.

M hairsixty “60s trim”: I was looking for a hair I might be able to put swoopy idol curtain bangs on. This wasn’t it, but I what came out is still really interesting. I can’t decide if it looks dorky or cool - I think it depends heavily on the Sim. AM-EM.

F hairmessy “Dyed Bangs Long”, F hairpagepunk “Dyed Bangs Bob”, F hairlongsimple “Stealth Dye Straight”: Very simple partially dyed hairs inspired by current trends. These are binned as natural hairs - the blonde hairs get pink, the green hairs get green, the black hairs get blue, and the red hairs get purple - but elders get to choose from all four dye colours. There’s also a bonus custom colour. TF-EF.

Textures/alphas are a mix of EAxis and hand-painting. None of these are default replacements.

No meshes required!

Guide to Basics: My Current

I mentioned that I got rid of atleast 60% of my clothes a year and a half ago and it's been the best thing I've ever done for my wardrobe. My choices are easier and I can't remember the last time I've ever sat and cracked my head about an outfit. That's the way I like it. My life has a million other stresses and I mainly care about 2 things. Consistency and Presentabiltity.

Over consumption has been normalised, and honestly, no one needs to be doing allat (😂). If you try and follow every trend and phase, you'll find yourself disappointed and having a fair amount of confusion and dread whenever you open your closet.

Me

Let me start off by saying that my environment has influenced me A LOT when it comes to how I dress and put myself forward. I navigate certain countries that have a very stereotypical style for certain groups. It's made things easy for me. I love my squads, and I love how I can maintain who I am by the way I dress and have been shown to dress by the girlies around me.

It works, it's trusted and that's what I care about.

Jeans. I only wear white or cream jeans made of mostly denim. It's just what works for me and my location. I physically cannot get a taste for blue jeans, I'm trying so hard, but they just don't suit me or brighten me the way a pair of flared whites would. The same goes for shorts. I wear white shorts of every cut because you'll need a different type of short for the beach vs. the court. My golf skirts follow the same law. Linen pants are also some of my favourites for casual days, I implore everyone to give them a try! I love how they flow when the wind blows and they are the pants I've gotten the most compliments on.

I'm still going through my crop top phase and will continue to do so till I cannot. I love a solid coloured cropped top, deep blues are my favourite because they enhance my skin in such a beautiful way. I'm someone who is lollypop shaped, so slightly cropped tops break the illusion from my pants and accentuate the top. I love to keep the colours plain and cool toned as that is what suits me best.

I also wear full shirts a lot in white, black, blue and green. When it comes to these, I make sure they fit like a dream and are preferably purely cotton without any unnecessarily thick stitches at the neckline. A neckline can make or break a silhouette. Find which one works for you, I can not work a deep V cut and like softer and rounder necklines. I like a bit of room for my silver/white gold jewellery to sparkle against the dark of my skin before being consumed by the shirt.

I go crazy when it comes to dresses and skirts. That's what I love and what those around me love too. Stripes, florals, swirls, beading, crotchet, anything. I love a Zimmerman look, it's very feminine and fun for lunches and events where moods are high and hands are going even higher.

For shoes I'm basic. Birkinstocks, gold sandals, nude, black and white pumps, and any platform white sneaker. I'm fairly short, I need the height on a normal day. For adventures, I go for the Birkinstocks. For a lunch, I go for my gold sandals, sometimes heeled sometimes not. For formals, I fold and take the pumps for a spin. And for everyday I keep my assortment of white platforms. It's a simple, trustable rotation. Of course, there will be rainy or cold days where you need to get the Wellingtons out or some old Timberlands/Uggs, but that's not most of the time.

When it comes to jewellery, I adore pearls and everything they stand for. For my 15th, I got my first pair of real pearls, and I haven't gone back since. Whenever I go to a port city, I always snake my way through the local pop-ups to find a jeweller who uses fresh water pearls on silver chain. I wear either pearl earrings or a hanging gem stone. I have multiple piercings on each ear. First hole is for a basic tiny gold stud. Middle for a dangle gemstone or pearl. Last for a diamond or zirconia of sorts. It looks almost religious how beautiful they are. I always thought pearls were for old ladies. My mother wore black pearls with shiny stone bottoms, and it always peaked my interest. I think of Venus coming out of the clam every single time I pop them in, and it makes me feel divine.

Shades are optional for most people, but where I am, you NEED to have them. I am a RayBan girl. My first pair was thick with a blackish purple polarisation. Second, where polarised green for my society ( incredibly iconic time when I think of it 🤣.) Now I have a pair of black ones that make sense for my face and everyday wear. I'm moving onto chunky Pradas. They're yet to come in since I wanted a specific type of lense on the frame. As I get older, I get more chunky, but right now I'm loving my thin black. I love the privacy, I love how others love them too. We exchange sometimes for different occasions.

I am a big fan of community, and having one is very important to me. Likewise, I wear logos from schools, societies, bands, productions, and companies I've been a part of. Don't do this if you're a crash out, you'd be putting the brand in disrepute, but if you're new in a place maybe some community gear for a certain cause you're interested in would be a good conversation starter. I have been privileged to be a part of many big communities that connect as far as from the dips of South Africa to the Ivy Leagues and big banks. I wear them with pride as I have earned them, fought tooth and nail to be rewarded them, and done my time. I worked for a lot of my branded gear, and it's recognised. Most of my jackets, hoodies, gym shirts, suit accessories, and stationery come from little things like that. It's my number one favourite thing to wear.

I love fashion, I love looks and can't wait to see what future me will have a taste for.

MULTIMUSE QUESTIONAIRE

RULES: Answer the questions with the Muses that would best fit the answers. Bonus if you give details why. If tagged, copy and paste into a new post – DO NOT REBLOG!

(Since this is a single-muse blog, I'm going to include muses I've played on other blogs. I'm not going to include every muse I've ever written though because 1. it already feels funny talking about muses that 99% of my followers have never seen me write, and 2. some of them were very short-lived. So I'm only including the ones that I've written most or were most significant, plus my newest one that I haven't written yet, since they've been on my mind a lot lately.)

1) Rank your softest Muse and your toughest Muse. (Personality-wise) - Strictly personality-wise, softest to toughest: Ted Logan (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure), Max Caulfield (Life is Strange), Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!), Amaimon (Blue Exorcist), Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen), Negan, Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan.) This is kind of funny though because aside from Ted and Max, none of these characters can really be considered "soft."

2) Which Muse would blow through $1000 quickly? - Gojo. But he's also rich rich, so $1000 is nothing to him. He canonically owns shirts that cost more than that. Aside from him, I think if you gave Ted $1000 he could easily blow it all on music gear and albums pretty quickly lol.

3) Do any of them have nicknames? Is there a meaning behind them? - Negan has been called "Neegs" by a few, but not many can get away with that. "Ted" is short for Theodore, and "Max" is short for Maxine (never call Max by her full name, she hates it.)

4) Are any of them up-to-speed on the latest trends? Anyone more old school? - Ted, Gojo, and Max are most likely to be up-to-speed on trends, but Max appreciates the old school stuff (she prefers analog cameras over digital for her photography, for instance.) Levi and Negan are more old school, though Negan might attempt to learn trends to seem cool to his students/the kids (it rarely works.)

5) Who has the best relationship with their siblings? - Three of them have siblings: Ted, Izaya, and Amaimon. Ted and his little brother probably have the best relationship, at least as kids, though he deals with insecurity and envy as their dad clearly favors his brother. Izaya has two sisters who are twins and about ten years his junior. Their parents were abroad for work so much that he basically raised them, but his bad influence played part in them turning out eccentric. Their relationship is complicated and a bit love/hate. Amaimon has six brothers and a sister. They are all demons (literally, they are children of Satan lol.) He's only seen interacting with one which I interpret him to have a neutral to positive relationship with. I don't see him having a close relationship with any of the others. But I also haven't read or watched the series in years, so I have no idea if more has been revealed.

6) Karaoke night! Who is likely to grab the mic first and bust out a tune? - Ted. Max will join him with some encouragement. Negan if he's had a few drinks.

7) Who is least likely to enter a beauty pageant/model? - Levi (he could actually probably do well as a model, but suggest this and he'll vehemently deny it.) Also Amaimon because he doesn't spend much time on Earth and probably doesn't even know what a beauty pageant is.

8) If your Muses visited a haunted house where actors scare you, who would panic and who would be unfazed? - Ted and Max would be panicking (but they're having a blast.) Levi and Amaimon are unfazed.

9) Are any of your Muses particular about taking certain modes of transportation? - Not really. Max does get nervous about airplanes and Izaya prefers to walk or take a taxi/public transport. Gojo doesn't drive and either takes the train/subway, has his assistant drive him, or teleports/warps short distances since he can do that lol.

10) Share a little-known fact about any Muse. - So I can't really think of anything, but I have twd verses for most of my muses that I never got to use/talk about so I'mma ramble on about little things about them here. Ted - and Bill - were following a band on tour that summer, and were at a music venue in the Atlanta area when the outbreak hit. Bill's dad died saving them the first day, and they and Missy go on to survive traveling around in their RV for a while. Max found an old vintage photography store shortly after the outbreak and took as many packs of polaroid film as she could realistically carry. She continues taking photos, not just to document the new world but to also capture small moments of beauty and happiness within her group. Gojo acts nonchalant about the apocalypse until he loses his best friend to a walker bite, after which he essentially shuts down and locks himself in a room with the (restrained) walker for days, refusing to let anyone in. He even attempts to remove its jaw/hands to keep it with him (kind of like Michonne did), and it wasn't until after that he finally killed it. He puts on a big smile and acts fine, but the unresolved anger and grief come out in spades whenever he goes up against walkers. Izaya and his sisters are in an airport preparing to fly back to Japan when the outbreak hits, and get stranded in the Virginia/DC area. A group takes them in out of pity, despite Izaya giving them the creeps. But when his sisters are eaten in a large walker attack, the group abandons him, and he's presumed dead. Months later, cue The Saviors showing up with Izaya at Negan's side as one of his lieutenants. Surprise! Levi meets up with his uncle, the only family he has, when the outbreak happens. It doesn't take long for them to start butting heads morally - his uncle is much quicker to warm up to the idea of stealing and killing. But they stick together until they're separated while fighting a horde, and Levi's been on his own ever since, unsure if he's alive. He's eventually taken in by Alexandria, but has a hard time adjusting. I don't have anything set for Amaimon, but he's naturally violent and off-putting and very likely ends up with the Whisperers or becomes a cannibal or something lol.

tagged by: @wexarethewalkingxdead tagging: @esoterium @survivoirs @chitteringbeast and anyone else that'd like to do this (y'all are the only active mutuals I know that have multiple muses and weren't already tagged I don't think??)

Elara is technically a Overlord but doesn't really do Overlord duties.

Personality: Elara is like a cool grandma. Even though she dresses in the time period she died in she loves modern things. She calm, collected, and carries an air of vintage grace. Adaptable and observant, with a touch of mystery.

Abilities: Ice manipulation, capable of creating intricate and powerful constructs. Basically Elsa. XD

• Disrespect towards traditions

•Velvette

Character Quirks:

1. Listens to hardcore rap music, despite her vintage appearance.

2. Mixes slang from the 1910s with modern-day lingo.

3. Often adjusts the collar of her vintage clothing.

4. Speaks with a refined and slightly formal tone.

4. Demonstrates a nurturing side, often giving advice like a "hip and cool grandma."

5. Has an impeccable memory, often surprising others with her recall of historical and personal details.

Negative Character Quirks:

1. Sometimes comes across as out-of-touch or overly formal due to her old-fashioned speech.

2. Struggles with emotional attachment to her past, making it hard for her to fully adapt to the present.

3. Can be overly critical of disorganization and lack of manners in others.

4. Occasionally uses outdated slang that confuses her modern counterparts.

5. Her fear of drowning can lead to moments of intense anxiety, particularly when dealing with water-related tasks or environments.

Backstory: Elara, a spectral presence from 1912, lost to the icy depths of the Titanic alongside her twin sister. Elara's ethereal essence manifests in the form of a blue polar bear demon, wielding formidable ice powers.

While her twin ventured into modernity, Elara remains adorned in the elegant attire of her bygone era. Elara was the calmer one between her identical twins. Always following and doing whatever her sister wanted. No matter how bad. Her sister and her husband were having "trouble" in their marriage, so they invited Elara with them on the Titanic to help them "fix it."

Long story short, the Titanic crashes and sinks and the two twins end up in hell. Her sibling, once aspiring to be an overlord, met her demise during the extermination, leaving Elara to navigate the chaotic underworld alone.

Elara's journey continues in the afterlife as she finds herself employed as a secretary at the Hazbin Hotel.Elara catches the eye of Alastor, the radio demon, who is drawn to her unique combination of chilling powers and vintage charm.

As she navigates her afterlife, Elara grapples with the memories of her past and the peculiarities of the demonic realm, all while forging unexpected connections in the Hazbin Hotel.

AWARD SEASON #2

'Hammerscale' - 'Blue Eye Samurai' S01E01

Short commentary

(Nominated for 3 Annie Awards, including 'Best TV/Media - Mature')

★★★★½ - spectacular

Not since 'Arcane' (2022-) has a show impressed me so much in the very first episode.

This looks absolutely INCREDIBLE. I loved every minute of it. I hadn't even heard of this show before it got nominated for a ton of Annie Awards. I'm glad I decided to watch it. And If this episode is any indication of how good the rest of the show actually is, I might have just found one of my all-time favourites.

The animation is just stunning. I think there is something of a trend now for making animated shows mixing 3D and 2D elements and backgrounds. 'Arcane' did this wonderfully, and 'Blue Eye Samurai' is no different in that regard. The style works for both the amazing action scenes, and the incredibly beautiful and somewhat calming shots of Edo-period Japan.

The characters are also really really cool. I can't wait to see what the show does with them. The way this first episode tells the story of the protagonist is really well done, and really makes us connect with the struggles the characters go through, especially in a society so full of prejudices and social pressures as the Japan of that time.

If I have any problem with it thus far it's the humour. One character in particular seems to be a comic relief character, and the jokes done with him not always worked for me. When they did it was really funny, but when they didn't, it was just kind of awkward. But maybe he'll grow on me, I don't know yet. We'll see.

Still, this just looks amazing. I'm sure this show has a lot to offer, and I expect great things. Love it so far.

...also, peaches.

[otrtbs]

omg your dissertation sounds very interesting. not sure if you're up for explaining your thoughts more but would love to hear about the like, disruptive potential you were talking about.

hiya! thank you!! rambling abt nerdy things under the cut!

so back in the 90s when the internet was coming into being,, there was a movement known as the 90s net-art movement. and a small subgroup of that movement was the cyberfeminist art movement! (some really cool sources to look through here here and here!)

and this movement really explored the potential for gender obscuration or anonymity and/or gender masquerading in a digital age. female-identifying artists realized that they could combat gender bias in the artworld by inventing a new online persona to display and showcase their art. basically artists like Yael Kanarek and Shu Lea Cheang explored the internet as a metaphorical space to construct new identities alongside new worlds in a setting detached from gender.

which seemed like a very disruptive thing at the time! but the movement was super short-lived because as we are well aware of now,,, the digital sphere reflects the same gendered social conditions of the "real world" bc there is no sharp distinction between the cybersphere and the world that exists outside of the internet space. Just as race and gender play pivotal roles in an individual’s "real-world identity" the shaped knowledge, experiences, and values bleed into the cybersphere and cannot be forgotten upon the switch to a digital platform.

all that to say!!!! when nfts hit the mainstream artworld, they were marketed to women artists in a very similar fashion to the early internet. promising online anonymity and obscurity as the tool that will break down gender bias.

buuuut the bare bones are there! nfts do offer a decentralized platform for buying and selling art. and i do think that nft marketplaces make the artworld increasingly more accessible to the general population and break down a lot of "gatekeepy" tactics gallerists and dealers use when picking who to represent and why etc. it also (at least for a while b4 sothebys and christies started collecting and selling 'blue chip nfts') provided an alternative market to sell artwork free from major auction houses and their trend predictions. nft market places aren't algorithmic for the main part and showcase the newest minted nft works first on their websites as well which is cool because hypothetically,,, a first time artist could have her work "showcased" alongside a banksy or beeple.

it's almost as if,, this system,, if left to its own devices would become more pragmatic ,,, this is what you would think (if u listen to the crypto bros and nft enthusiasts) however,,,, we know that nfts still perpetuate the same gender biases we see in the traditional art sphere. and that's because this new technology doesn't solve the issues presented from the cyberfeminist art movement in the 90s. because!! the distinction between cyberspace and the real world still remains very interlinked,,, with no sharp delineation realised... so basically

i guess what i'm trying to say is nfts still have the potential to circumvent a lot of issues in the art world,, but they are still perpetuating a lot of issues as well. they have potential tho!! what is the solution to this problem??? i cannot say. like,,, do we force a sharper boundary between our experiences that we gain in the 'real world' and cyberspace?? is there a way to divorce ourselves from those experiences once we enter an online space?? shut them off once we go online???? would the ramifications of that be entirely catastrophic??? is there an alternate solution?? these are questions i have but am not exploring in my dissertation hahaha but the cyberfeminist site has a lot of publications discussing these topics that are really good if you're interested at all!! i'll link it again here!!

fashion aesthetics - wen qing

describe your muse’s aesthetic in five words or less.

vaguely edgy disaster

does your muse spend a lot of time on their outfit and appearance? how long do they spend getting ready in the morning?

not a ton? they’re someone who has a pretty erratic sleep schedule, so if she’s up early yeah she’ll spend thirty or so minutes getting ready, but they are also completely and totally capable of putting a nice outfit together in under five minutes if that becomes necessary (it’s necessary more often than she cares to admit and they will deny this skill to their last breath)

does your muse consider the way they dress to be trendy? would other people agree

kind of, yeah. they’re doing her best to fit in in the modern world, and did absolutely read a decent amount about trends and fashion, and is pretty sure she’s managed it to some degree. and i think most would agree, they dress pretty cool most of the time

how often do they buy new clothes? are they the type to keep a outfit for years or replace it after one wear?

they buy new clothes when something is ripped beyond repair, and never any other time. she’s pretty frugal, and honestly, after their imprisonment and then their stay in the burial mounds, buying new clothes at all feels like a privilege, even if most of it is thrifted

is your muse the type to accessorize? how much?

maybe a little bit, like a necklace or a belt, definitely fishnets sometimes because they think they’re fun, but nothing too intense. they’re working a lot of days, and you can’t have a ton of jewelry on as a hospital intern, and she also just isn’t super into rings and bracelets and all that. not their style

how much time do they spend on skin care/makeup/grooming?

probably like half an hour max? she doesn’t wear a ton of makeup, just a little eyeliner and mascara and something on her lips, and the extent of their skin care is moisturizer and a shower, maybe a face mask once in a blue moon when they’re incredibly stressed

if money and societal expectations were not a concern would your muse dress differently than they currently do? if so, how?

she might have more formal clothing if they could afford it? not that she really prefers that style, but they don’t mind it and knows it’s sometimes necessary, but they’re generally pretty happy with their more casual wardrobe

would your muse wear the same outfit two days in a row if they knew they wouldn’t run into any of the same people?

probably not the entire outfit, but would definitely repeat a shirt or pair of shorts if there was no chance of anyone noticing, especially if they’re behind on laundry that week (she’s usually at least a little behind on laundry wen qing is not good at domestic tasks)

have they started dressing differently since arriving in washington? was the transition difficult? do they prefer the clothes here or back home? if your character is unaware feel free to answer as if they are aware.

one hundred percent. even the colors they wear are different, there’s still a lot of red, but there’s also a lot of black and blue, and pretty much at least a little of every color, especially with the fact that denim makes up a solid half of her wardrobe. she likes these clothes a lot better, there’s a lot less formality and she doesn’t feel as... i guess dressed up? restricted? as they did in their wen robes back home

About Urban Streetwear and Tech-Inspired Looks We Love

Written by Allison Ruiz

Hi, I’m Allison and for this week’s blog post we will be covering women’s urban streetwear essentials and interchangeable outfit pieces. But first things first- What IS Urban Streetwear?! Streetwear -or urbanwear- is defined as a casual clothing style worn especially by members of various urban youth subcultures (Oxford Languages). Urban fashion is inspired by urban environment and city living.

Urban streetwear reflects individual personalities that are ever-changing and unique, gathering elements of different subcultures like hip hop, skateboarding, sports, and casual wear. With the growing popularity of streetwear trends, we figured we would weigh in with our own observations on what makes for a well-balanced and choice urban streetwear outfit.

This week I will be going over some of my favorite tech-inspired urban streetwear. Let’s get into it.

Cargo Skirts and Tech Pants

This look has been on the radar for a while now, giving more variety for choices in loose-fitting bottoms for many urban streetwear looks. Cargo skirts can be styled with sporty and casual clothing like t-shirts and sneakers or a variety of styled tops that can give a nice silhouette. This trendy item resurfaced after miss Bella Hadid styled it back in 2021, and it is barely hitting the markets in stores such as Urban Outfitter and Amazon.

Here’s another cargo skirt/parachute maxi skirt option from ASOS for my petite ladies as well.

Tech Pants

Tech pants are technical pants that are made with a mixture of fabrics and made to provide moisture-wicking properties and easy of movement as well as all around comfort. They have a baggy/loose-fitting fit and look like cargo pants. Here’s one from Urban Outfitters.

Here’s another cool tech pant made by Free People- are they tech pants or are they work scrubs? Are they for the lab or b-ball attire? We don’t care, we love them.

Okay, that’s nice, but where’s the variety?

When it comes to urban streetwear, the best thing you can do is vary the looks by playing with different shapes and silhouettes. You don’t always necessarily need to wear baggy bottoms, you can use straight leg pants or even a variety of shorts or skirts, even chino pants. Here’s a few other looks for inspiration.

Here we have an OOFTD streetstyle look from Milan Fashion Week of 2019. Although it’s not recent, it’s still relevant and noteworthy! Look at the contrast between the semi-casual sweater mixed with the jogger cargo pants and boots.

Another option is to mix it up with knits and contrasting outerwear to really complement an outfit. Here’s a noteworthy look from Copenhagen Fashion week in 2023. Notice how the knit set still has utility wear details such as the buttons on the hem of the sweater and the drawstring waistline of the knit skirt and on the sweater arm cuffs. This is a great example of urban streetwear with tech inspired elements.

Another amazing ensemble from the 2023 Copenhagen Fashion Week streetstyle looks is this fashionable denim on denim look with some unique jeans and a Carhartt messenger bag. Not quite a Britney and Justin moment- it’s got a fresh modern flare with the white denim vest and blue denim patchwork.

And lastly, you can always make a blast to past into earlier generation’s style archives, like we see here with athletic tracksuit pants, from the late 90’s to today.

Honorary Mention of Microsoft’s ACTUAL Tech Pants!

Microsoft came out with their own tech cargo pants and they have lots of extra pockets and a zip off legs option. They are also 100% cotton ripstop and very cool!

I hope I convinced you to try out some new styles and inspired you to create more outfit combinations. Next time we will be looking at more versatile options for more urban streetwear looks.

Thank you for reading.

Personality

A woman that has a rational thinking of situations that arise; she always remains cool and levelheaded, even situations she should panic. Midnight has a passion for studying all forms of science, but she specializes in biochemistry, astronomy, and philosophy. Sometimes she indulges herself so much into her research that she forgets that someone might be beside her or cannot maintain her health, such as eating, sleeping, etc. Her mind is always thinking of new theories and discoveries with her research. She desires to find out ways to make use of the power stones and used it to help aid the universe from the entity called Noctis.

Because she which to remain rational at all times, Midnight suppresses her will to express emotions—since she believes it is a hindrance to her to function and act. However, she will show concern towards others and show small acts of kindness to those she finds close and dear to her heart. When angered or annoyed, she can react in a rather volatile manner and become rather sadistic. When overwhelmed with emotions, Midnight will go into a temporarily “break down.” Once she was calm, she would discard that her outbursts had even happened.

She appears aloof and is terrible at socializing properly because of her sheltering herself from others. She can appear rude and cold, but her intentions behind her actions are normally good. She has an addiction to caffeine and potato chips. Usually, she appears tired and disheveled in her appearance as she doesn’t care about how she looks since she’s always buried into her lab and research.

As far as romantic partners, Midnight doesn’t prefer what gender or species that she takes and interest in. However, since she suppresses her feelings of love romantically, it is very difficult for her to convey her feelings that don’t appear cold and shallow towards the person of interest; Midnight will try to deny her feelings all together having the belief: if she convinces herself that she feels nothing and cannot love, those feelings will go away. When she accepts her feelings, she is quite coy and will go into a chaotic emotional frenzy. She would go through length to embrace her feminine side and her jealousy would even go to extremes, such as stalking, hostile actions, etc.

She enjoys observing other life forms as she wants to unlock “all the secrets” of life itself. She lacks the ability to keep up with trends and changes since she only is concerned with data and results as nothing else interests here. Everything in her eyes is useful or a hindrance and things that are a hindrance should eliminate in all means.

Appearance

Midnight is tiny and petite, but she looks like a woman in her early 30s. She has pale skin and her hair is rather unique. Her hair resembles the night sky and even has shimmering effects like small twinkles of stars embedded in her strands.

As far as clothing goes, Midnight dresses casually in a loose blouse, a tie wearing shorts in the shade of black. She usually wears stockings and seen always sporting a lab coat—since she is always dabbling around in her lab.  Occasionally, she does tie her hair up in a ponytail when working with chemicals.

The Origin of the Fallen Star Goddess

“I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.” ― Amy Tan

The Planet Vimvite was one of the first planet to discover the power stones, long before the existence of the entity Noctis. Midnight used to work as an assistant to a scientist named Doctor Exitium. Midnight and Professor Exitium were long-time friends and even held some romantic feelings for each other. After the discovery of the power stone, the two have used research, and they discovered their hidden powers that were contained and the effects it has when merged with a soul. They used it as an experiment and fuse the Star Stone with Midnight. Not only it changed her appearance, but it granted her the power to create and control stars. Using this knowledge, Dr. Exitium had Midnight become the Goddess of Planet Vimvite and they called her Lucete Stellae. After making her known to the public eye; while keeping the power stones a secret.

While Midnight enjoyed her new role as goddess, she still worked with Dr. Exitium with the power stone. That’s when Dr. Exitium had discovered they can fuse the power stones with others and was curious about the effects. Not wanting to put Midnight at risk, he had the people offer “sacrifices” to conduct experiments. All the experiments were unorthodox. Most people have died due to it destroyed their bodies or souls because of the overloading power of the power stones. Eventually, Midnight found Dr. Exitium’s obsession and research cruel had pleaded for him to stop; however, consumed by his greed with the desire for knowledge and power—he ignored her cries and eventually he created an ultimate power stone that he fused with himself. Because of his corrupted mind and soul, Dr. Exitium has changed into a dark entity and used his power to become the “God” of the planet. Midnight at first watched helplessly as he slaughtered, enslaved, or created monsters that soon wiped out most of the populations. He became Noctis because of his influence of darkness and power over the people.

Midnight had challenged Noctis, but he defeats her. When Noctis realized how powerful he was, he decided that in Midnight’s retaliation that he would wipe out both the people and the planet as he made her watch. Midnight fled what was left of Vimvite as she took the data of the Power Stone research before Noctis destroyed the rest of it. She traveled to planet Earth and worked as a researcher before Noctis and his army threatened the life of humanity. Midnight took the research that she used to enhance and create new power stones to defeat Noctis in secret. However, the galaxy soon learned about the power stones and use it to create warriors that eventually lead to the defeat and imprisonment of Noctis. However, his army still prevailed, and she knew it wouldn’t be long before Noctis would free himself from the prison and not even the current wielders could stop him and his army. So, Midnight continues to research and find compatible wielders to help her fulfill her wish.
