author’s notes: This was so fun, but I misread this for the LONGEST and was just like “omg cute bimbo!reader??? in love” cause i’m a bimbo in training 💕 i hope you like it!!! Also pretty sure I spelled al-naturale wrong but I didn’t feel like searching it up.

word count: 2.4k

┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Donnie 💌

Pink and Purple are a good color combo, considering they’re analogous colors! So, while he had tried to push purple into your wardrobe, Pink was a suitable settle! (Though, you did find a few items to be a nice enough median between pink and purple to add them to your wardrobe, stationary supplies, and even a matching bracelet or two. This delighted him beyond imagine)

You and Donnie do have matching bracelets, in a unique purplish-pink shade of fuchsia. And while you manage to adjust yours to fit any outfit, Donnie was not much of a fan of having its material against his wrist. But, fret not! He treasures it all the same. It has undergone a couple of experiments to make it nearly indestructible and rests neatly on his tech-bo, near where his hands rest. So, that counts for something, right?

If you’ve ever been up late at night, then you know just how weird things can get around the AM hours. And, as if following the “ late-hour-culture ”, you have successfully gotten Donnie into a pair of heels. This was a planned adventure, one planned for two important reasons: 1.) for Donnie to prepare himself to willingly stand atop death trap shoes and 2.) to make sure his brothers weren’t home to catch any of it.

To prepare for this night, you and Donnie went through trial after trial of measurements to secure the perfect size in heels for him, and out you ventured to collect samples in your most FAVORITE way possible.

Shopping !!! April tagged along, and when you showed up to meet her, you met a new person—Sunita. She apparently had just as much interest in shopping. You were unsure if it was for the same reasons as you, but who cares? The best delight of shopping (aside from the cute fits, mirror montages, and fashion-show-shots on your phone) were the try-on-and-step-out-to-show-your-friends moments!

Wait, you were here for Donnie’s heels! … He wouldn’t know (he will, there was a safety-tracker embedded in your cute phone. he had one on everyone important to him, don’t worry!)

There was one particular moment walking in the store where the heel of today’s beauties ended up snapping off in escalator. Had it not been for Sunita and April’s quick hands, you might’ve gotten down these moving steps with record time! But, the most shocking part for them was when you mourned your shoes for a second and immediately pulled out a second pair (which of course was within the color palette of today’s outfit, cotton-candy pink.) Their puzzled looks were responded with you purring out a, “ What~? You didn’t possibly think I wouldn’t plan ahead for the classic ‘heel breaks’ scenario, did you? ”

They burst out laughing at that.

After a little girls time in the shops, you ended out the day with a rather nice array of choices for Donnie to try: platforms, stilettos, kitten heels, chunky heels, and wedges! How’d you pay for them, you ask? Oh, well, that’s easy. Your beloved have you an allowance on the premise that you do not question anything at all.

When the night of the plan came around, you had even snuck in some makeup. This part wasn’t hard to convince Donnie to be on board with. He wears a mask and also was vaguely experienced in make up to begin with (what, you think he beginners luck’s those eyebrows every day?)

Surprisingly yet also unsurprisingly, Donnie had no problem walking in the stilettos. Well, initially he wobbled, latching onto you, but he recovered remarkably quick. Platforms were a breeze. The platform part of this particular shoe was apparently far too perfect in ensuring the balance and comfort of the foot’s distribution with weight. You couldn’t help but be a teensy-weensy bit jealous and vowed to get yourself the same pair in your size later.

The most memorable part of this night had to be the little dance montage you both had in a pair of stilettos. This one happened to be the one and only time you ever saw Donnie almost completely shatter his ankles when you both suddenly heard the, “ We’re home! ” ring out through the layer. The struggle to release his feet from the pretty pink heels with the ticking time bomb of his brothers’ barging in was immensely stressful yet also hilarious.

He later let you convince him into an entire get up—full makeup, cutest of heels, and the best outfit you could come up with. Had it not been for the “mutant, stay hidden” part, you definitely would have hit the town.

Oh, but that doesn’t stop you guys from being able to online shop. Donnie’s most favorite creation for you was an emulator that could let you try on the digital clothes as if they were really there. This saved you from clothes that didn’t fit but also doomed your wallet!

It also allowed you and Donnie to use the emulator to wear extravagant clothes neither of you could imagine having, dancing hand in hand as the two happiest people in the entire world.

┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Leo 💌

So the most unexpected part was that your boyfriend had wack fashion sense. It was either a hit or miss. He would come up to you like, “ Hey, do these match? ” And you would turn to see him trying to get a nasty, worn-out basketball shirt to work with the most distressed khakis you had ever seen. At this point, they weren’t distressed, these jeans were downright TRAUMATIZED.

This led you to discover that his amazing outfit choices to dates with you had been influenced by Donnie and his far-too-extensive vault of “ Human Trends and Aesthetics “. Though, you did admit it was impressive and asked for a pdf to be sent to you.

But anyways.

Leo had a huge appreciation for your commitment to heels. Like, seriously. He has watched you climb up and down the manhole ladders in heels he only knew existed in horror movies where the killer was a gorgeous girl with heels as tall as the blades on knives are long.

You tried to convince him to try on heels.

He refused for a while.

Then you made it a sugary-sweet deal of makeup + heels.

…

He declined.

So you made it IRRESISTIBLE. Makeup + heels + outfit.

Sold! Sucker. As if that wasn’t your true plan all along.

Though, the best part had to be that once he agreed, you were like, “ Great! So, when do we go? “ and he pulled you close, placed a kiss on your head, then said, “ Now, of course. “ And through a portal you both went!

It was a boutique unlike any you had ever seen, in the Hidden City no less. He had told you about it, promising to take you one day. When he found out about your love for shopping, the passion in your voice and the love in your eyes made him want to experience it WITH you. He spent an undisclosed amount of time figuring out if there was a clothing shop in the Hidden City.

And gosh, the shop he found? Boy does it have RANGE. The shopkeep could even change the color of an item with the twirl of her wand! How perfect was that?!

The way your expression lit up had Leo completely and utterly smitten. Together, you guys tried on clothes, sliding open the curtain to see the other’s choice. You would either swoon or laugh too hard at Leo’s choices, quickly turning him back into the room and tossing different clothes to him with a, “ Wear this what those jeans—oh! And add this! Then try this shirt with those shorts! “. Leo was always left speechless, though maybe he just loved looking at you just that much. You truly could make anything work out.

Considering it was his venture, Leo took the bill (with money that may have been his own earned cash or maybe Donnie’s money that no one really knows where it came from….. anyways), and the two of you began your venture out, to a less populated place to teleport out. On the walk, Leo decided to be a gentleman and offer to carry your bag. I mean, how heavy could it be? It was just a little sumthin here, lil sum there. You obliged, of course, with a dazzling smirk, sprinkled with a bit of mischief.

When you hands your bag, letting it go in his hand, he didn’t even have enough time to let out a yelp of any kind. Just, silently dropped to the ground.

“ Whuh—Why’s it so heavy?! How did you—“ He stared up at you walking away, turning just to give a teasing grin, “ What? You offered to carry it! No takesies-backsies. ”

He flexed a bit, straining as he got back onto his feet and goofily ran to catch up with you, “ Y/N, wait! How were you able to carry these?! In THOSE heels? ” This time he let out a “ gyiuu “ as you squeaked out a, “ And WHAT does that mean LEO? ”

You have definitely come home to Leo trying on your outfits (nothing he could ruin. Only stuff he knows fits him OR is already stretchy.)

He once tried on your cute pink overall-skirt and was having a meltdown in the mirror when you walked in. “ Leo? You okay? ” You said, slowly, stepping into your room and sidestepping towards the bed to start taking off your shoes to lay down. “ Yes, I just, Y/N, ” he turned to look at you, a smile growing bigger and bigger as he struck a pose, “ I just look WAY too good in this. ”

Cue a “ You dummy, I thought you were sad or something! “ and a pillow getting tossed.

┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — April 💌

With April, your relationship had bloomed on a night you were preparing together to go to the prom. Neither of you had a date, but whether that was because no one wanted to ask OR they were all too intimidated was… Well actually, it was an easy question. They were intimidated.

April, for how outgoing and overzealous she was. In a good way. You, for how impressive your makeup and commitment to heels were. The two of you were seen together almost always, having become friends in middle school and been basically inseparable. Of course this meant you knew about her dearest four friends below the ground.

But never mind that, they aren’t the focus here. You and April are.

Your relationship had begun the night of prom. April was done quicker than you—as is what happens when one person wears makeup and the other doesn’t, “ al-naturale “ she would call it, purely joking of course.

You were dolling up, placing the final touch—glossy lip gloss upon your lips. As you dragged the tube along your bottom lip, you had made eye contact with April in the mirror and smiled. She was sitting on the bed’s edge, leaning back and completely distracted by your reflection.

“ Yes? ” You purred, pursing your lips and rubbing them to uniformly coat them in glossy shimmer. The tube clicked against April’s desk as you turned to her with your usual cute grin. “ Y/N, uh—“ April stammared, hopping off the bed—stumbling a bit on her balance— and then tripping into you.

Her hands caught on the desk behind you, pinning you there while she was dangerously close. A stuttering mess, she glanced at your lips then into your eyes, “ Y/N, will you, um—the Prom! Yeah, will—You—Um… ” The dark hue blooming on her cheeks stirred a melody of giggles from your lips.

“ Go to prom with you, April? We already are. ” You teased, raising your eyebrow while tilting your head. She leaned back, releasing you from the cage. That made you frown a bit, but she didn’t catch that.

April spun, her back to you, then hit the bed a few times with a muffled scream. Stiffly, she spun back around and dropped to her knee, taking your hand like a knight holds the princess’ hand.

“ No, Y/N, will you go to the prom WITH me, like, as my date. Not as friends, but as—“ “ As lovers? ” Your heart went pitter-patter at that, and quickly you grabbed the sides of her face to pull her into a kiss, “ Of course, April! ”

That prom night had been the best and the most eventful. Not only did you get the last dance with April, at the school event’s adjourning, a mutant had become a party crasher.

Giggling a fit, you tried to keep up with your dearest April, but she was vaulting over all kinds of things! You were agile and strong too, don’t get it twisted, but you weren’t APRIL O’NEIL agile! She looked like a parkour video straight off YouTube! Still your giggles continued, calling out a, “ April, April wait up! ” Your hand reached out, and she of course stopped to take it, “ Y’know, Y/N, if you took off the literal HEELS, you might run faster! ” She hoisted you up and over a thrown garbage bin.

You gave a playful glare and screeched, “ Like hell I will! I would rather DIE than be stripped of my LIVELIHOOD! ” April laughed along with you then yanked you into her chest, cushioning the tumble you both took while narrowly dodging debris that flew past your heads, “ Hush up, Y/N, you might jinx it and get that wish! ”

She sent emergency calls to the boys, and realistically speaking she might have genuinely stood a chance to that party-pooper mutant (and honestly, you probably could’ve done a good number on it too) but..

Who didn’t like a romantic life-or-death run together?

April definitely makes jokes about how you could probably have taken Shredder down in heels. The boys (coughdonniecough) are always quick to try and explain how, um, actually no?

She never misses a chance to go to the mall with you. Doesn’t always get anything, but do you really think she won’t want to spend her free time with you? Blasphemy if you think she would rather do anything else.

Also, April loves giving you kisses right after you’ve glossed up your lips. They are so smooth AND she gets gloss afterwards? Score. Watch out though, she will pepper kisses all over your face. You may have to wipe gloss off ( don’t worry, she refrains from doing it if you have a full face of makeup or so. Aside from lip gloss/lip stick, she would never want to ruin your creation. )

15 Questions:

tagged by @thehiddenbaroness, @oftwodarkmoons, and @daughter-rhaenyra thank you all!!

1. Are you named after anyone?

Allegedly named after my mom's favorite author, but my first and middle combo was basically the default name for girls in my class growing up. It was her second choice of a name which is disappointing considering her first choice was awesome. Instead I am literally Trendy McTrendName for the year I was born.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I don't really cry unless I have gone through something life altering or am very, very drunk. As such I'm guessing the last time was last St. Patrick's Day, as it likely will be again tomorrow.

3. Do you have kids?

No, never wanted them

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

Competitive swimming was my entire life from elementary school on until I had to dial it back and eventually quit in college (too many injuries). I also did a fair amount of skiiing/snowshoeing/hiking/kayaking/etc growing up. In my 20's I got very into distance running but had to quit in 2019 because of (new and different!) injuries. These days I mostly do running (though less than before) and weights. Since the TikTok brigade took over my gym post-pandemic, I have been trying to somehow build a home gym in my 800 sq ft apartment and at this point I am only a stationary bike away from being free of them forever.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

You could say so, yes

6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Honestly I am usually trying so hard not to make eye contact with people that I don't see much of anything. I suppose the honest answer is that I can tell if their body language is genuine or fake. And to really answer it, eyes and also arms. I love that my husband can pick me up like it's nothing what can I say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

7. What’s your eye color?

Very, very dark brown.

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

I am pretty indifferent to scary movies though I do enjoy them from time to time. I do like happy endings mostly because I hate loose ends. It's okay if they're bittersweet though.

9. Any talents?

Cooking and baking. They're my primary hobbies for a reason.

10. Where were you born?

The most beautiful state in the Union.

11. What are your hobbies?

Cooking (I try to do a new recipe once a week), baking, fitness, trivia leagues, word puzzles, garbage television, this godforsaken website.

12. Do you have any pets?

yep <3

they are 10 and 11 this year and it's absolutely killing me. I need them to live forever.

13. How tall are you?

5'6''

14. Favorite subject in school?

I loved English and US history a lot, but biology was always my favorite. In college it was biological anthro and archaeology.

15. Dream job?

My first thought was wine critic but I realized I would need to get better at describing wine as things other than "good" or "okay" (It would take a lot for me to call a wine bad. I drank exclusively Two Buck Chuck for years).

I think some sort of hotel or restaurant critic would be my dream. Letting me sample pretentious things while being professionally judgmental really would be ideal for me.

Please consider yourself tagged if you would like to fill this out!!

#thanks to everyone who tagged me!#it was a lot of fun #i found this waayyyy back in my drafts the other day and then got tagged again so i figured it's time to publish it!#and now i am off to the first day of saint patrick's day celebrations #discounted baileys i'm coming for you #about me

How do you organize/store your stickers? :o

My friend. You have opened a whole Can of Worms*. I shall gladly answer your question, sorry it took so long I had to figure out how to do it with a ten picture limit asdfghjkl

*Worms would be located under "Wild Animals -> Bugs" or alternatively "Individuals -> Mostly Wild Animals -> Non-Butterfly Bugs"

So first off.

The sticker bins themselves are mostly kept in my closet, though the ones I use the most (Individuals, Domestic Animals, and Food/Garden) are kept under my bed for easy access.

I have 14 bins of stickers total (though I'll be honest some of them are getting Very Full and I probably need to get some more). Each bin has its own category, though many have subcategories. And they're all approximately shoebox sized.

Early Year Holidays/Seasons (New Year's, Winter, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Spring, Fourth of July, and Summer)

Late Year Holidays/Seasons (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Fall)

Latest Year Holidays/Seasons (Christmas and Christian stickers)

Shapes/Patterns (Hearts, Stars, Smiley faces, Other Shapes™, Borders, and Words and Affirmations)

Wild Animals (Sea Creatures, Bugs, Woodland Creatures, Other Creatures™, Bears, and Dinosaurs. Admittedly the subcategories for this one are kinda wack)

Domestic Animals (Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Rodents, and Farm Animals)

Miscellaneous (...I have a different diagram to explain the subcategories here)

Non-Disney Characters/Logos (Characters My Brothers Like, Scooby Doo, Superheroes, ""Girly"" Characters, Colleges, and Various Other Trademarked Stickers)

Disney Characters/Alphabet (Muppets, Mickey & Friends, Princesses, Fairies, and Alphabet. Weird combo I know but I have a surprising number of Disney alphabet stickers)

Food/Garden (Ice Cream, Candy, Cupcakes, Fruit, Fast Food, Other Food, Flowers, Other Plants, and Gardening)

Weird Shaped Packages (no real subcategories but this is where I keep Sticker Books and Sticker Flake Packages)

Individuals (I have another diagram for the subcategories here)

Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Club Part 1

Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Club Part 2

(Note that I hope to organize the Mrs. Grossman's Sticker Club stickers into their respective categories before I leave for college but that may or may not actually occur :P)

The Miscellaneous tote is an organized, if lawless, land. Here are the subcategories for it!

(I wanted to color code the text but Tumblr only has like 7 colors 😔)

Maroon: Stationary/School

Red: Music/Theatre

Pink: Travel/Countries

Magenta: Modes of Travel

Orange: SPACE!!

Yellow: Science/Technology

Gold: True Miscellaneous/Pretty Things

Bright Green: Fantasy

Forest Green: Sports

Teal: People/Occupations (ie clowns, cowboys, ninjas, etc.)

Cyan: "Girly" Things (ballerinas, teacups, purses, etc.)

Royal Blue: Parts of People (eyeballs, mostly)

Indigo: Games/ Toys

Purple: Baby/Birthday

Then there's the Individuals tote. "Individuals" basically refers to any sticker that is smaller than your average sheet that I'm worried would get lost in a big tote. This includes sticker mods, stickers off a roll, sticker flakes, anything cut out of a larger sheets, water bottle/laptop stickers, and just. Small sticker sheets.

I, apparently, have 20 main snack bags, each with several subcategories (though there's enough of them that I'll leave most of them to your imagination rather than list them all XD). Most of them mirror the categories of the big totes, but some are unique.

A: Shapes/Patterns

B: Nature (includes weather, plants, and beach stickers)

C: Miscellaneous 1 (art and travel focused)

D: Miscellaneous 2 ("true" miscellaneous)

E: Miscellaneous 3 (school and science focused)

F: Early Year Holidays/Seasons (Winter-Summer) + Birthday

G: Late Year Holidays/Seasons (Fall-Winter)

H: Food/Scratch and Sniff

I: Domestic Animals

J: Mostly Domesticated Animals

K: Mostly Wild Animals

L: Wild Animals

M: Zoo Animals**

N: Bears

O: Disney Characters

P: Non-Disney Characters

Q: Logos/Companies

R: Words and Affirmations

S: Water Bottle Stickers Overflow (they physically don't fit in the other bags)

T: Tile Stickers

**Zoo Animals is different than Wild Animals in that "Zoo Animals" means the sticker has one particular animal instead of an assortment of different animals (which falls under "Wild Animals".) Yes it's very arbitrary. All the animal distinctions are tbh.

Of course, putting the stickers under my bed and in my closet means I don't get to admire them very often. To counteract this I have a display board I put some new/seasonal/favorite stickers on.

Currently on display I have a Discowing sticker, a summer sticker mod, and a sticker sheet from my penpal when she visited (plus some bonus sticky notes from the penpal as well).

Since I'm sure you're wondering, the stuffed rabbits are named, from left to right, Blueberry (made by a friend!), Snorb (also made by a friend!), Mocha, Mellie, York, and Spotty.

Of course not every sticker I get is fortunate enough to have a backing. Sometimes I'll get stickers from the supermarket or I'll peel them off a package and I know they'd never survive in the bins, so they go in the Hello Kitty sticker book!

I've had this thing since I was like 4. I'm a little bit obsessed if I'm being honest. She's never let me down.

And that's the important stuff for stickers! Though I wanted to show off my other stationary, too.

I keep all my miscellaneous scrapbooking materials/stationary in a Batman lunch tin. All of my letters and envelopes are in an old shoebox. Both are stationed at the end of my comic book shelf! The tin and the assorted letter sets are hidden behind the two Batman stuffies :P

.....does that answer your question? :D

#asks my beloved #Yeah maybe I overanswered this. What's it to you? I had a good time 😌👌#Anyway I'm always happy to have asks seriously I was thinking about how I was gonna answer this nonstop all week.#Made my life buddy <3 #Anonymous #Anon #Long post #stickers #sticker collection #Stationary #bunny babbles #In the words of my friend (who helped me sort a new shipment once):#'Bunny this makes no friggin sense'#Correct <3 any other questions :D?

i really like GF's FD music - it totally highlighted for me though that i don't feel a thing when i watch them skate. i think because i don't believe they feel the music- i don't see it in their bodies and movement. most of what's being used for expression is big arm gestures. it has some lovely elements like the stationary lift, though

super curious what the narrative of the Taschlers's FD is - with her miming what looks like holding a mirror and wiping at her face (ed: just read this program is in memory of their dad😢). glad to see them do well here - a small fed sibling team who skates with power and makes programs they really believe in 🙌

ouch Green/Parsons - the FD has a lot of potential, some of it is very beautiful. other moments look a little awkward, including the opening pose, though where it goes is pretty. but ooof kind of a bad dream of a competition for them.

Bratti/Somerville on the other hand have to be pleased - Ian is looking more like Charlie White in the FD 👀 he's doing some of the arm flinging to signal higher energy and emotion that Charlie would use (like in this program- the number of times he swings his arms around - the program looks much more dynamic if you watch him than if you watch Meryl or just their feet). but B/S did well today for their first time out with this program

the Mrazeks's swan lake FD i like a lot - it's much more skated than D/S's. the Mrazeks are using white swan music but dressing as black swan- i guess as soon as you dress as the white swan, there can be romantic overtones, so carry on lol

Dozzi/Papetti's Nessun Dorma FD is beautiful - that's a musical team - and the combo lift to the hydroblade at the end is😭 i guess speed and more power will come with time. idk why she's not wearing a brighter pop of color, though - this dress washes out on the stream, and rink lighting is grayish or dim

Manni/Roethlisberger's Interstellar FD - i have to admit i kept having to start over because i couldn't focus on it. K/R's Schindler's List - i don't know if they have a personal connection to this music, the red dress is a lot, considering what it means in the movie

a lot of teams are using the barrier in front of the judges and leaning over it, putting their hands on it, using it for choreo - really getting in their faces lol

🥰for the senior season to have really begun now-- looking forward to Autumn Classic next weekend❤️

This is a bit generalized so my apologies if it's not well worded, but as someone who tends to draw primarily animals/creature designs I'm used to designing patterns and color schemes on fur feathers and scales, however I tend to struggle with knowing how to design outfits for characters when it comes to giving them clothes. I know to reference from real life when it comes to drawing the clothes themselves and from time periods, but it's specifically when making up characters who might be in a modern or less specified and exact time period, that I tend to be at a loss for what clothes to put on them outside of something vague that doesn't really tell anything about them, but instead is just clothes to clothe them that doesn't really tie into who they are. Do you have any tips or maybe recommended videos to check out regarding how to go about designing outfits for characters? Thank you!

I’d say the first thing to think about where clothes are concerned is the character’s lifestyle. What kind of job do they have, and what sort of garb does it require? Are they rich, poor, or in between? Are they more outdoorsy or indoorsy? More athletic or more stationary? Do their clothes fit the climate they live in? Is it more important to them to dress for practicality and comfort or to follow the latest trends? How much do they care if their clothes get messy or damaged?

It also helps to watch live-action media and take notes on how different characters dress, and what that says about them. Take Gus and Mike here:

Gus took the time to look professional, stylish, and put together, with a color-coordinated shirt, tie, blazer, and overcoat. He’s very fastidious and cares a lot about his presentation, which is crucial if he wants to keep his status as a high-ranking cartel member a secret from the people of Albuquerque. Mike, on the other hand, doesn’t put much effort into his appearance, going for a comparatively casual look. Just a basic button-up with a t-shirt underneath and a plain fleece jacket on top. Not too fashionable, but it gets the job done.

Don’t sleep on accessories, either. To continue with Better Call Saul as an example, a bunch of those characters sport little accents that are unique to them. Jimmy has the pinky ring, Kim has the triangular earring/necklace combo, Howard has the knit ties and tie bar, Nacho has the snake earring, Tuco has the boxing glove necklace, etc etc. Those subtle touches can show a lot of personality, and if the accessory has a backstory, even better.

Something else that’s hugely beneficial is the ability to name each piece of clothing the character wears. If you have the vocabulary to differentiate between, say, a polo, a V-neck, and a muscle tee, it’ll be much easier to gather options and expand the clothing variety through the whole cast. You could hit the websites of stores your character might patronize, browse for specific items they’d wear, and take note of the labels given to them. Then you could make a list or a mood board to flesh out each character’s fashion sense.

Shape and color symbolism will also factor into your choices here. If a character is sharp and stern, their clothes could have more angular edges, while if they’re more friendly and welcoming, those edges could be round and nonthreatening. As for color, your character could wear their emotional demeanor literally on their sleeve. If they’re hotheaded or otherwise passionate, a fiery red would probably be their go-to; orange if they’re energetic; yellow if they have a sunny disposition; blue if they’re more calm and collected, and so on. You can look deeper into color psychology, why certain colors affect us the way they do, and which colors have different meanings in different cultures.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter. Hope this helps!

For the soft asks: Golden, Poppy, Dimples, and Buttery 💛

Soft Asks

Liv my dear!! Hope you're having a great day💛

golden - favorite stationary product?

I'm obsessed with post-its. I just think they are the cutest, especially the pastel ones🥹🩷

poppy - favorite pastel color?

Green!!

dimples - most attractive features of a person’s face?

I feel like this really depends on the person, like different features stand out on different people y'know?

But somethings that will always make me do a double take are dimples and freckles, brownie points if its a combo of both. Brown eyes are also a weakness of mine🫠

buttery - favorite snack?

Anything sweet!! I've got a massive sweet tooth

As the thieves began to explore Kaneshiro’s palace more after rescuing Tiefsee Morgana finds himself huffing his cheeks and sitting on the sidelines.

He was always envious of the equally as short as him creamy yellowish orange skinned elf- eared creature with long flowy yellowish orange tentacle tendril piercing reddish pink eyes with elegant black eyeliner around said eyes as well as a golden mask shaped like the sharp end of a trident, he is wearing a long grey trench coat with golden buttons around it and a skull and crossbones badge on the side as well as a white vest underneath it complete with a light reddish pink frilly necktie around said vest similarly colored to his frilly light reddish pink colored gloves which on the right hand lies a golden ring on his pinky finger, he wears light black pants which are a little hard to see because of his aforementioned long trench coat as well as white boots with black trimmings on it, the lower part of his pants seems to be stuffed into his boots.

Morgana’s jealously extended to Tiefsee when he sees Tiefsee effortlessly killing shadows with his golden colored bladed anchor pendulum combo weapon or magically attacking by using his aforementioned tentacle tendril hair and even when he switched to his stationary weapon the cannonball he was always so calculated coordinated elegant and most importantly graceful and…! Morgana envied him he was always so beautiful handsome pretty and… wait.. he was supposed to keep his eyes on Lady Ann! why was he so attracted to this new man?! just the very thought made him sick but strangely curious and excited.

after Tiefsee finished off the shadows with an water spell from his elegant and beautiful merman-like persona called Blackbeard Morgana approached him.

“ So Squire.. could me and you have a little chat?” Morgana says as Morgana noticed something lighting up in Tiefsee’s eyes almost like code or processing data though Morgana brushed it off as just being in the palace for too long getting to him.

“ In the safe room I presume?” Tiefsee replies seemingly bored as Morgana nods.

Quickly the two men departed from the group back to the safe room Morgana explaining it as the two needed to have a serious conversation.

Once the two got back into the safe room Tiefsee sat down in a chair one leg across the other sitting almost like a king as Morgana stood up to talk, after all he is the peasant in this situation.

“ Why do you think your better then me?!” Morgana says loudly slamming his paw onto the table as Tiefsee unusual for a person seeing this replied calmly opening his cephalopod lips with a knowing smile.

“ Because I am.. plus I have more experience Servant..” Tiefsee smugly smiled sure of himself as Morgana’s cobalt blue eyes gazed upon him irritated.

“ No you do not! for your information I have been around longer! thieving before the phantom thieves were even on the mark!” Morgana yelled back defending himself as once again he noticed Tiefsee hesitating talking for a second as he seemed to be accessing and processing data almost like an algorithm.

“ And don’t think I didn’t notice your suspicious attributes and answer withholding.. just what are your motives?!” Morgana yelled starting to sweat a little because of the amount of energy he was pouring into this and by Tiefsee’s unfazed and stoic expression even by what’s currently unfolding.

Finally knowing the time is right Tiefsee’s mouth opened up.

“ Morgana.. I assure you.. everything that I tell you and the others is the indefinite truth.. now if you’ll excuse me I have to get back to the others who knows what shenanigans they could be getting into without me.. until next time adios~” Tiefsee replies as he gets out of the chair and strokes Morgana’s face gently and lovingly as his piercing bright reddish pink octopus eyes stares at Morgana’s cobalt blue cat eyes with a hint of desire and passion before Tiefsee stops himself and walked off leaving Morgana a blushing mess.

on the other hand Morgana is trying to look out for the phantom thieves of any intruders or traitors but on the other hand even though he has his eyes on Lady Ann/Panther but honestly Tiefsee is already starting to become the more viable and visible option to be his love anyways, what can he says he loves a man that could kick his ass and look good doing it, Morgana’s eyes widened realizing how late he is after his and Tiefsee’s little conference and rushed to get back with the other thieves, though he did remember Tiefsee mumbling under his breath about some sort of grail.. what could he have meant?
