OMG 70s glam rock Satsuma???

Oh you had better believe it!

This was the late 1970’s of course, and hair metal wouldn’t be a thing for a couple of years yet! But 16-year-old Rentarou wasn’t happy with his father and paternal relatives berating him to be part of the police force. So in high school, he was part of a rock band club that had four other boys in it, and they all decided to be as polyester, lamé and caked with makeup as possible, because that’s what girls liked! (and that’s what young Rentarou thought would piss his dad off the most)

What’s worse is that one of the boys (the keyboardist) had a father who worked at a TV station, so they recorded a performance back around 1978-ish. Present-day Satsuma hopes the reels for that never get found, or were destroyed.

If it helps, I also had something in mind as I had traded an Espurr to Larry in exchange for a Dudunsparce. I wrote a whole thing and I have no idea if I can turn it into a full publishable story yet. 😵‍💫

(fwiw Saguaro trades you a Hattrem, I’m trying to decide what I’ll give him…I can’t give him an Alcremie as he already has one when you battle him, a Strawberry Sweet Ruby Cream one!)

@prince-kallisto @crystal-clovers @windynebula I am outraged and appalled that Larry and Saguaro don't interact with each other when you invite them both as coaches. We need to fix this.

Just…hear me out for a second.

An anime of the 2017 Thrawn trilogy books, but Hikaru Miyoshi of “Moriarty The Patriot”-fame does the character designs. (No clue who does the animation character designs, depends on which studio animates it.)

Come on, if Tite Kubo could do Sakura Wars or Kazue Kato doing Godzilla, the person who made Sherlock Holmes gayer than even the BBC could can do this! Easily!!👏

A sequel? Really? Maybe.

This is more studies than anything else. If I was gonna do something more polished, I would have paid more attention to proportions and how Nendoroid heads behave. >_>

Did I get his lop-sided smirk right? You know that’d be one of his faceplates.

So who wants to listen to me ramble why an Empire reestablished by Grand Admiral Thrawn would be an “Empire” in name only? Nobody? Well that’s too bad, because you’re going to hear it. ^_^

Whether you like how it’s being portrayed or not, Thrawn’s ultimate goal as of the events in Ahsoka is to reestablish the Galactic Empire, all to help the Ascendancy against critical threats like the Grysks. Timothy Zahn has even stated this as such.

But it’d be an Empire in name only, as I just don’t see him being Emperor, nor do I even see him having someone in mind to be his figurehead/puppet ruler. After all, Thrawn is shown in canon (or the books at least) as being terrible at playing politics, which Palpatine was a master at thanks to the Force. I don’t even know who he’d even choose as Emperor, as ultimately what Thrawn wants is an overwhelming military power to crush the threats to the Ascendancy and his people, over anything else.

Realistically, any government led by Thrawn would be a military junta, where he works alongside other high-ranking Imperial military and regional governors to maintain order.

It makes the most sense, when you think about it: he can work behind the scenes to guide them and manipulate situations to best suit his needs. Like someone who can speak to the people on his behalf, someone who can play politics (but doesn’t outwit him), someone with charisma who can pacify the public, etc; It’s possible even other non-humans will be part of this council, if he deems them beneficial. (Which some of the more hard-lined, anti-alien council members wouldn’t like, for sure!)

All the while, he gets to operate in the background, where he works best. This makes him more a military dictator than an emperor, as he’s still the center of the council—he just doesn’t openly rule.

Would this be a fair system? Hell no, juntas are awful governments that oppress people and commit atrocities on the regular. Despite Thrawn’s best efforts to avoid this, he’s still cultivating an authoritarian regime that has shown in history to be built on sand and innocent blood. There’s going to be too many bad apples that he can’t—or feels he shouldn’t—cull from the system. They will do horrible things to people and some of those things he’ll allow as a lesser evil.

And there’s the fact he won’t live forever. He’s up there in age, and unless he’s okay with cloning—and we know trusting Imperials is not good—the paranoia is going to amp up. Who can he trust to keep up the system he’s so carefully crafted? Potentially none of the Imperial Shadow Council can be trusted outside of Captain Palleon, and maybe some of the humans he’s sent to the Ascendancy for aid. Somewhere down the line, someone will destroy what he built out of greed and egomania. And he knows this. Paranoia could be his ultimate downfall if he allows it.

This won’t happen, clearly, because the sequel trilogy (and the Legends Thrawn trilogy) indicates he won’t succeed. But I wanted to give you folks a more realistic vision of what the political makeup of galaxy would be like if he did. 🤔

Thankfully, it’s not a knot cut in half as I’d feared when I first read this post: it’s pigtails with half of the tail cut at an angle, and styled upward!

This being said, I had to use a really tough hair gel to get this style to look like Chibi Moon’s buns, and I’d prefer to convert the pins into actual pins that can be stuck into it. Think the Pullip dolls. But I’d have to untie and re-tie the style, and I don’t know if I have the patience for it yet. 8\

I wish I knew how this person did odango though! I love how it looks, but they don’t have a tutorial >~<

Inners and Serenity

My Inner Senshi Styledolls arrived last week, and I actually deboxed them for once!!

Jupiter and Mercury are DEFINITELY my favorites, which is no surprise because they're usually my favorite Inners of the vintage Bandai JP lines too lol Jupiter's hair needed a lot of work (had to layer her ponytail to blend in the stupid short tendril they cut at the top) but Mercury only needed a slight trim to even things out!

Mars is third favorite! Her hair is a little too short imo but looks mostly correct and only needed some flat ironing to curl the ends more consistently. I don't love the way they added crimps to her bangs but it doesn't look horrible and it is pretty accurate to her design, I'm just really annoying about doll hair being as organized as possible lol Venus is definitely my least favorite; her hair is like half an inch shorter than Mars and her half-up style is severely over-engineered in a way that is incredibly confusing to me- she has an entire thatched parting under the half-up ponytail that stretches horizontally across the back of her head, and the ponytail can't lay flat as a result so it looks really wonky fresh from the box. I had to brush out the parting and redo the entire style to get it to lay somewhat correctly, but it's still too short and I hate her bangs lol Aside from Jupiter, none of the Inners have a lot of gel in their hair- maybe a tiny bit on the bangs, but otherwise it is incredibly soft and smooth nylon! Overall a really excellent set of dolls! They won't be dethroning the vintage dolls for me, but they're well made and very nice to handle. Much looking forward to the Outers whenever they get made, and hopefully Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Cosmos! While I was at it, I also deboxed and restyled my Princess Serenity that I got months ago! I have been hesitant to debox my Styledolls because it was an absolute nightmare trying to iron out the factory kinks left behind by the heinous amount of elastics in SSM's hair, but I decided to test fate and Serenity turned out to be much easier to style. From this:

To this!

I absolutely hate the way Bandai has done her hair so far, but I've been collecting SM dolls long enough to have figured out a relatively low effort way to get mostly-accurate Usagi hair that satisfies my personal vision for how her hair should look on a doll lol Still, Usagi is a lot luckier than Chibiusa when it comes to factory hair:

Her odango are literally just....spikes they cut into her hair. Probably the worst attempt at Chibiusa hair I have ever seen, and I will likely never debox her as a result (unless I decide to spring for a reroot lol).

A postgame headcanon

Nemona isn't the only one who hates that everyone in the school prefers "School Battle Brawl" to her "Academy Ace Tournament" title. Saguaro and Tyme agreed her title was better, although their negative feelings towards the "popular" name vary in intensity. Saguaro outright thinks it's vapid and probably is more passionate about his disdain than even Nemona herself is, while Tyme just thinks it's uninspired and has a preference.

They are the literal only two academy faculty members who think this, as the rest either actively use "School Battle Brawl", don't mind it, or are indifferent.

Eventually the mob has spoken, and the name is officially changed to the "School Battle Brawl" at the start of the next school term. Larry has to listen to Saguaro rant about how disappointed he is in Arven for his actions the evening after that faculty meeting, despite his own negative feelings about the tournament period. (He just dreads the day he'll be strong-armed into participating himself.) He inadvertently talks his husband out of not participating in protest, being left confused as to how Saguaro got the opposite of his intentions in the first place.
