Hello! i’m super excited for your if!! especially since i love ice skating!! I hope you don’t mind me asking but i was wondering what Noel’s figure skating costume would look like? If it would be more stereotypically masc/femme or a combination of the both? Do they switch it up for each contest? I kinda want to doodle them you see so i wanted to make sure i got it right lol! Hope you have a good day/night :)))
I'm glad ur excited!! very nice question as well.
As for their costume, I would say they usually lean more go for a mix, probably leaning towards more feminine if anything, though never feminine enough to just go for a dress.
Think like Yuzuru Hanyu's outfits.

^^ the third one especially!!
Noel does tend to have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to skating.
They would go for lighter colors as well; light blue, lilac, white, light teal, muted cyan. light cool tones I suppose.

I finally hopped on the bandwagon and created a Spider-Sona. Ever since "Into the Spider-Verse" came out, there's been an explosion of people creating their own spider themed characters, and all of them have been so creative and diverse. And now with the recent sequel, "Across the Spider-Verse" having come out, and having loved it so much, I finally broke down and made a spider character of my own.
I decided to pull from my own life, and made her themed around being an artist. She hails from Earth 20-1-11-5-15-14-13-5, which, if you break down the numbers, they each correspond to a letter of the alphabet. So it spells out "T-A-K-E -O-N-M-E"....yeah, it's a reference to the Aha music video for "Take on Me", which is what this universe would look like stylistically---very sketchy, with surfaces looking like crinkled paper and cardboard and such.
Her backstory is that she lives in the suburbs with her parents ('cause money's tight and all that), and works as a freelance artist. Her parents know she's a superhero and were the first to know about her powers. (And didn't take her to any doctor in fear of their kid being taken away and experimented on) So yeah, this spider doesn't keep too many secrets from her friends and family. She takes daily walks through the woods behind her neighborhood to get exercise (since her job has her sitting down a lot).   One day, she came home to discover a bite mark on her ankle. She was sick for a few days, but didn't make any connection with it, until she discovered her spider powers. Prior to the bite, a truck from a science lab went off road and crashed; dumping all sorts of chemicals and other hazardous material in the woods by her house, so she theorizes that's how the spider bite gave her powers.   This is also where some of her rogues gallery comes from, like the Scorpion and the Lizard, who were normal animals that mutated into monsters (ala TMNT). She was inspired by comic book superheroes to put on a costume and fight crime.
Though honestly, she tends to stick to the suburbs more often than not, stopping normal crime most of the time and doing community service. But she's not afraid to fight the occasional monster or super villain if it comes up. She has both organic and synthetic webbing. The organic webbing shoots from all of her fingertips. She's able to sew and draw all sorts of designs and patterns with the webbing that way. This is also the webbing she uses to web-sling around, but since she tends to patrol neighborhoods,  she uses roller skate shoes and tons of parkour to get around.
The synthetic webbing is where her different color "paints" come in that do different stuff.  She'll web something first, then splatter it with her special paint to turn it into what she needs.   She took more of an interest in science after she gained powers, but she's no super genius. So most of her gadgets she jury-rigged thanks to watching all sorts of science and tech videos on the internet.  As for her special paints, each color has a different effect on her webbing.
white: basic organic webbing used as the base
red: fire/plasma webbing
orange: turns webbing into plastic explosives
yellow: gives webs electric charge
green:  acid webbing
blue: ice/freeze webbing
purple: turns webbing into water-like oil slick
brown: turns webbing rock hard like stone
pink: has anti-bacterial elements to clean and seal wounds
and black, well.....it's the only other organic webbing, and she only obtains this when possessed by the Venom symbiote of her universe. Shoot this stuff at someone, and they become infected or taken over by a part of the symbiote
Other odd colors like teal, magenta, silver, gold, etc: would occasionally show up for very specific missions. But all those other colors are the standard part of her arsenal.
As I was trying to design her, the first thing I thought of was a standard Spider-Man suit, but with blue painter's overalls that have plenty of pockets to store tracers, extra paint pellets, and other gadgets. And while I loved the overalls idea, the rest needed a more unique spin. So I went with a T-shirt underneath, as this girl's gonna' get messy, like, a LOT. And I tend to like costume designs that include a person's hair. So, inspired by the original Spider-Woman, I wanted this girl to show off her hair....but not her real hair. Her real hair is tucked away underneath. (Gotta' preserve identities and all that.) So I went with long, neon-blue hair that helps her stand out more. It's just a wig that she built into the mask.
I also added fingerless gloves. It made sense to me, as her fingers would have to be at least partially exposed to shoot webs, but still protect her palms from being scraped up. And as I was sketching, I kept feeling like something was missing. And so, I added the beret at the last minute to complete her artist look. The other last minute addition was the color wheels on her wrists that store and shoot out the different colored pellets to make the different web effects.
And thanks to a suggestion from my friend, DarkNeon of deviantArt, she finally gained a name. Say hello.....to Silk Sketcher.

Hi! Could you please write another fic about the inhabitants betting affected by Balan's hiccups?
Oh, so you would like a sequel? Okay.
Things have been total chaos for the twelve Inhabitants. A cure for Balan's hiccups still has yet to be found. "I will never get used to this," Iben said, frowning at her maid outfit. "I want my original outfit and stage back."
"Me too," Bruce said. "I do miss my youthful days, but I'm happy with my adult days as well."
"HIC!" Balan let out another hiccup. And the Inhabitants drastically changed outfits.
"This is…unexpected," Jose said as he looked at his new outfit. He now wore an expensive CEO suit and his dark brown hair was styled.
"You're telling me," Haoyu said, confused as he was now in a chef's outfit.
"My hair is now a light purple!" Yuri exclaimed, blushing. "But what's with the tea party dress?" Her outfit consisted of a lilac dress with a white frilly apron.
"And I thought my new outfit is weird…" Fiona blushed as her hair was now in pigtails. She now wore a two piece blue and white cheerleading outfit and carried matching pompoms.
"Guess I'm a…nurse?" Sana glanced down at her nurse outfit. She blushed when she saw that the skirt was on the short side.
"I feel…so exposed." Iben reluctantly showed everyone what she was wearing. It was a lavender mermaid themed bellydancing outfit. A slit was seen on the left side of her long skirt.
"What happened to my eyes?" Attilio asked, looking into a mirror. "They're yellow! And…where's my clown costume?" He now wore a…basketball player uniform.
Cal's hair was now black. He frowned when he saw that he was wearing a kimono that was indigo and white. "I don't wear kimonos…" Cal said.
"Where did this puppy come from?" Bruce asked, holding a Dalmation puppy. The animal started to lick Bruce in the face. As for Bruce's outfit, he now wore a Volunteer outfit for an animal shelter.
"What's with this treasure chest full of gems?" Eis asked. His outfit was an explorer outfit, so he looked as though he had been exploring.
Cass blinked in confusion as she was now in a fuschia ice-skating outfit. "But I don't ice skate…" She said.
"I'm a…popstar!?" Lucy exclaimed. She now wore a sparkly outfit that resembled Hatsune Miku, except what was teal on Miku was green on Lucy. Also, she sported green headphones with a mic attached to them.
Balan sweatdropped at this. Then, he hiccuped again…which changed their stages again.

Tag Game
Tagged by @slytherinocicat
Are you named after anyone?
Dad says I’m named after my grandma’s cousin so... maybe? It’s a grand mystery. XD
When was the last time you cried?
Some time ago. My tear ducts don’t function quite right so crying generally just... does not work properly? 
Do you have kids?
Nope, not currently... but I have one toddler nephew who can’t figure out why Mommy is pregnant and Auntie is not. He keeps looking for my baby. 
Do you use sarcasm?
I do, but generally very drily. Most people take me literally so I use it with caution.  
What’s the first thing you notice about people?
General vibes--learned to take semi-quick assessments over many years of costumer service work. 
What’s your eye color?
I range along the blue spectrum depending on what I’m wearing--from icy blue when I’m in light colors to a super deep almost teal when I’m in darker clothes. 
Scary movies or happy endings?
Satisfactory endings. I don’t like scary movies and happy endings are often too saccharine. 
Any special talents?
I wear many hats including nurses’ aid, counselor, cook, house cleaner, chauffeur, gardener (ahh the joys of full-time caregiving) but the one I’m most proud of is Lizard Wrangler.  
Where were you born?
Colorado. Shall not expand deeper... but bumped around the west for most of my life. 
What are your hobbies?
Currently knitting, cross-stitch and writing. I need to get back into original writing, my drawing, and start up some sewing.... also gardening which mainly consists of me trying to figure out why my tomatoes keep putting out blooms and tiny tomatoes in JANUARY 
Do you have any pets?
Not currently--I had a cat a while ago but all alone (pet-wise) now. 
What sports do you play/have played? I never played a team sport, but on my own I’ve enjoyed experimenting with archery and ice skating, and I like hiking. I want to try golf but I’m not rich enough XD
How tall are you?
Roughly average XD
Favorite subject in school?
I generally liked all my subjects in school. I was home schooled so I only had the lessons to deal with... not the overall school environment. I will admit that my class on how to analyze movies the way we are taught to analyze books subtly changed my life in high school. 
Dream job?
Don’t really have one... I have a degree in Public History, and I would love to get into park ranger work on a state level but I’m very flexible. There are all kinds of very interesting jobs out there. 
Tags: I don’t really tag... if you see it, feel free to steal it!

My kid was home sick this week and used the time to rewatch Neverbeast a couple times for research and then sketch out a few designs of the costume they envision. The most important thing this let me know was the silhouette they are going for - think... "I want a girl with a short skirt and a looooooooooong jacket"
(My kid always wants Hallowe'en to be glam - so why not? Last year the costume was a "disco sock-hop bunny" complete with a black and teal dress with a crinoline, a teal fur pompom tail, sequined ears and a green sequined jacket..the year before "a bear going to a tea party" another fancy dress, furry 4 inch heeled boots...and yes my 7 yo could walk in them...and a variety of fancy accessories.)
This year we found a grey coat and a grey dress, wings, boots, and a furry hat to serve as the base for the Neverbeast costume. We also bought armature wire for tail, ears and horns...an air-dry modelling compound... And glow in dark and metallic fabric paint to do the markings. Oh and fake iridescent nails and sun glasses to build something of a mask around. We also found a key chain Tinkerbell...now I have to figure out a small Faun too.
I am very pleased and most important the costume will have both a version for indoors (sans mask) and a warmer one for outdoors...since it regularly snows on hallowe'en and plus there is a skating lesson in costume...
There's still work to do...and facepaint to acquire ..but having the bones two weeks out is reassuring.

Okay, I only have time for a quickie this week. What in the Barry Manilow Copacabana mess was that from the Georgians? Is the 80s theme infectious so it's spreading to the pairs? It was comically atrocious, you'd think Max would have a brain cell or two to advise them against this but I guess it's too much to hope for. All the other juniors are off the hook because they were delightful. The black/teal dress has a bit too much going on but it's the best one yet, I'm glad someone is learning from Ashley Wagner.
Has Lia missed a throw before? I don't think she has. They need to lock Trennt in a room with 4 sports psychologists as soon as he lands home. I worry all the shit he went through has messed with his sense of worthiness to be here. They set a BV world record in the free in France, so they should inch ahead of at least the second Italians, and if my prayers are answered, this soulless "Hungarian" team too. Both panels took a nice little nap during this event, bless them. I'm worried that Annika and Rob will quit ☹️.
I kinda understand why Minnie and Nikita are getting the push but also kinda not, their skating is quite clinical to me? I know they're a new team still but I'm very meh on them. I also don't understand what's going on with Rebecca and Filippo, they should be better than they actually are? She has some classic pair lines and positions yet it never seems to come together, so I get why they're good friends with MT/M. The clipped forward skating into the twist is awkward as all hell. Poor Maxime was holding on for dear life out there. I can't fully get behind them because I despise their coach and everything she represents.
The men! What an event! Shoma really is That Bitch, huh? The only gripe I have is that I'd rather Kazuki were here over Kao because he's still so underdeveloped artistically, but good on him for squeezing out a combo. But omg Ilia's costume. How is the ISU supposed to market this boy when he's clearly shopping at the circus surplus store? There are two types of skating parent/coach: the likes of those of Yuma and Matteo, who know the value of a slow build and not burning out 2-3 years out of an Olympics, and the likes of Ilia's and the Mokhov's, who are clearly frozen in time and are trying to relive their glory days through their kids (yuck), and are throwing in the technical kitchen sink at a time when it doesn't matter. Adam is really testing me but I understand why he might be dead on his feet at this point.
I hate that there's no stream from Golden Spin, Amber landed two 3A in practice (check nora_bruckner on IG for the clips). S/F seem to be reusing their Charles Aznavour FD from 3 years ago (sigh). I'm curious to see how this Aussie team develops under IAMO, they've been struggling for so long and seemed to have no resources at all. It's interesting how teams' skating skills have improved at IAMO but all the MIDA teams still have basically the same ones they arrived with (and weaker material. And barely any political push). I struggle to understand what that school's selling point is and wonder what the first team to jump ship will be (prayer circle it's G/Pa).
A perfect message, Fashionista Nonny, you continue to be an icon. I agree on all accounts about all things, amen.

My next project: Historically inspired skating costume. I’m using the same pattern as my blue vest, but simplifying a few things (no real pockets, no high collar) and adapting the construction for working with spandex. It’s an adventure!

Bww MoD - Chapter 1 Costume Homelands
This is for my bww au called Masters of Disguises, so yeah big info is in here.
Anyway, here’s the tour of 7 Costumes that lives in the Land of The Man who rages against the Storm or in short; the Land of Fertility.
🌽
The Land of Fertility (Chapter 1 World)
This is the Land of Fertility, A world created by the Heart of Scarecrow, or as his real name; Jose Gallard. In the Land of Fertility, Crops grow with no expiration whatsoever and the weather is peaceful with sunny days, breezy days and rainy days. Hold onto your hats because we are going to the homeland of our first costume.
🚜 Farmtown 🐺
Welcome to Farmtown, a Village of barns inhabited by the Tornado Wolves. Tornado Wolves are typical cartoonish depiction of bipedal wolves with Light/Dark Brown, Beige, and Yellow Fur, They work in packs when it comes to hard working on the job, they also scare away any pests from their crops by using their claws and signature move; Tornado Attack. Surprisingly, the Tornado Wolves are the Representative Costumes of the inhabitant Jose Gallard for their Hard working skills and brown color like his hair. Tornado Wolves are courageous that they travel lands for trying new crops and such, they are one big fuzzy ants of the farm. Like Farmers and cowboys, they like to celebrate their own holiday where it is like a fall festival called “Day of the Howling Wolf” and on that holiday they have a feast and Howl at the moon for good luck. Despite their friendly nature, they can get territorial whenever an outsider enters their farm unattended and they start a conflict…and when that happens, it calls out to a game called “Howling Wind” where two Tornado wolves have to knock each other out from giant corn cobs, whoever is the last standing will get their way settled. They also help out Jumping Jacks, Pounding Pigs and Dainty dragons, which foreshadows the costume concept of the Nega Boss: Barktholomew. Well, that was a breeze about Farmtown, let’s get to the next costume and their homeland.
🏞 Bouncelands 🦘
Welcome to Bouncelands, home to the bouncy and energetic Jumping Jacks. Jumping Jacks are Blue Kangaroo-like Humanoids with Light Blue, Navy, and White fur, comes with a White Bunny plush on their Pouches. In the Bouncelands, Jumping Jacks lives in Holes on ground with different rocks each to know which house is which, and Hills to serve as shops, diners and other buildings. Jumping Jacks love to do jumping sports when it comes to games, there is Fetchcorn, Hop Trop, and Leg Dance, everyone in the Land of Fertility from all kinds of homelands would love to watch the games go on! Such a leap of fun from Bouncelands, let’s get to the Next costume and their homeland.
🐖 Muddy Slopes
Welcome to Muddy Slopes, home to the Loud and Boisterous Pounding Pigs. Pounding Pigs are Round, Bipedal Pigs that like to live in pig pens and have good source of mud around Muddy Slopes, which is good for nourishing their bottoms’ skins. Pounding Pigs help out the land by producing more soil using their ground pound power to make holes from mountain to mountain, putting ground pounded dirt into soil bags and sell them for profit, which in this case it is copper. In free time, Pounding Pigs like to bath in mud and make mud-balls, mud-angels and mud sculptures in order to cool down from the sun’s heat. When the mud is dried, they wait until rain comes and makes mud again, and they come back into the mud again. Well, that sure was messy from the mud, now let’s clean up and get to the next costume and it’s homeland.
🌋 Pyro Plateau 🐉
Phew! Is it hot in here or is it just me? Well, we are here in Pyro Plateau, home to the Hotheaded yet kind Dainty Dragons. Dainty Dragons are Small Bipedal Teal green Dragons with hollow centers that houses a blue flame each, they live in different caves located in miniature volcanos with the big main volcano as the land’s furnace and tournament arena for housing Dodge-Fireball tournament sports and other hot tournaments. Despite their ferocious nature, they are gentle and kind once you get to meet them, they let you watch their games and try out their spicy foods, if you are bold enough. Man, that is one hot land and I cannot stand this heat, let’s get to the next costume and it’s homeland to cool down.
🌱 Croptopia 🌸
My that is one big mighty crops and gardens here, well welcome to Croptopia, home to the elastic Elastiplants. Elastiplants are Cartoonish Flower Humanoids with Red and Yellow petals and pots as plants, their species was Discovered by some Tornado Wolves after planting magic flower seeds to the ground and let it get soak by raindrops. Elastiplants lived in giant pumpkins as houses and giant fruits on trees, which the way to get up or down is to stretch their stems from down here to up there. Elastiplants love to eat Sunfuzzes and water as a special diet of theirs, which a Sunfuzz is a yellow cotton Candy made from sunlight and sugar made for Cotton Candies and they enjoy doing daily Yogas whenever it is a sunny day, especially with their Tornado Wolf Neighbors. Man, what a stretch that was, now lets get to the next two costumes and their homeland.
🌙 Groove Moon 🎶
Welcome to Groove Moon, Home to two humanoids of the Skyland; Metal Bad Boys and Super Skaters, let’s get to the Metal Bad Boys first. Metal Bad Boys are Metallic Robot Humanoids with Rockstar appearances that live inside the center of the moon, and crystals that can generate music by using soundwaves from their guitars. Metal Bad Boys are rowdy and loud who loves to play rock and roll music that they are famous for and if you go in there, your voice would be drowned by Loud rock music and cheering, there is also Indeed a rock and roll contest to see who‘s the superior rock and roller. Now let’s get to the Super Skaters, the neighbors of the Metal Bad Boys. Super Skaters are humanoids that wears pink and blue skating outfits, earning their species’ name, and they live on the surface of the moon.

A Very Strange Tea Party
This story is inspired by the amazing work of katydoodles, specifically this adorable drawing.
This would take post-Battle of the Miraculous.  Luka knows that Marinette is under extreme stress (and knows why, although he’s keeping that to himself), so he decides to give her a relaxing, fun afternoon.
Luka asks Juleka to gather the girls together, though he doesn’t tell her why, just that it involves Marinette.  He’s surprised at how quickly they all arrive at the houseboat, not realizing that they all think he’s trying to make a plan to ask Marinette on a date.
Rose is already squealing quietly into Juleka’s shoulder as they all settle into their seats and stare at him expectantly.
“It’s just so romantic,” Rose mumbles.
Juleka chuckles softly into the other girl’s blonde locks and whispers, “You think everything is romantic.”
Luka looks around at the assembled young women and gives them a smile.  “Thank you all for getting here so fast.  I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Marinette has been really stressed lately, and I think she deserves some help.  She’s always here for us, so let’s be there for her.”
A little embarrassed at making a speech, especially without his guitar in hand, he looks down at his shoes for a moment.  The memory of Marinette crying into his shirt surfaces, though, and that gives him the strength to look back up.
“Not that I’m not supportive, but how is asking her out going to make her less stressed?” Alix asks bluntly.
“Because then she’ll have someone to lean on, and someone to love her and hold her and-”
“Whoa!”  Luka bursts Rose’s romance bubble, turning redder and redder.  “Who said anything about- that’s not- I didn’t gather you all here to talk about me asking Marinette out.”  He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, ignoring the sighs of disappointment from around the room.
“Alix is right; that would just put something else on her plate, and she’s conflicted enough right now.  At the moment, she needs her friends,” the teal-haired musician says firmly.  He then turns his gaze to Alya.  “What’s a book or movie that Marinette really likes?  Maybe something she dressed up as for a party?”
Alya looked thoughtful for a moment.  “I’m not sure where you’re going with this, but she loves those Lewis Carrol books, especially the first one.  Alice in Wonderland, I think it’s called?”
Luka grins.  “Perfect.  Does she have a dress she’s made that would fit that?”
“I don’t know...” Alya dithers.  Suddenly, Myléne perks up.
“What about that Little Bo Peep dress she made?  That’s like Alice, only in pink!”
“Yeah, that should work,” the redhead agrees.
“So what’s the plan?” Alix asks.  “Clearly you have one.  Care to share with the rest of us?  We’re Marinette’s friends, too.”
Luka smiles again.  “We’re going to throw her an Alice in Wonderland-themed party.”
The girls meet this announcement with grins and the whipping out of phones.  Even Alix, who would normally hate this sort of thing, is nodding.  “Let’s give Marinette a party to remember!”
OooOooOooOooO
Several hours later, they have a basic plan in place and characters assigned.  The location, one of the many park/gardens of Paris, has been chosen, and tasks have been allocated.
Rose has been put in charge of decorations, with Myléne to help rein her in.  Obviously, none of them are as handy at designing and making clothes as Marinette, so they’ve decided to keep the costumes simple; Juleka, as the resident model, is given that task.  Alix is to get Marinette to the party with the help of Myléne, while Alya is in charge of research.  She, as the “best friend” also has the unenviable job of somehow convincing Marinette to wear her pink Bo Peep dress the day of the party without making her suspicious.  Luka is, rather obviously, in charge of music, and he’s convinced Marinette’s parents to supply food and drink; that phone call had gone surprisingly well.  He’s also in charge of transporting said food and drink.
As the meeting breaks up that evening and the visitors head to their various homes, everyone is excited and hopeful, ready to start on their tasks.
OooOooOooOooO
The day of the party dawns sunny and warm, and all of the final preparations are quickly finished.  Luka ferries pastries, finger-foods, and tea from the Dupain-Cheng household to the garden while Alya video chats with Marinette to keep her safely out of the way.  Rose sets up a lavish tea set and table for the goodies, along with plenty of decorations (not all in pink, thanks to Myléne).  Juleka hands out costumes to everyone, and then it’s time to fetch the guest of honor, whom Alya has finally talked into showing off her adorable dress.
Alix skates to the bakery, her white rabbit ears flying behind her, and exchanges her prized skates for a pair of white sneakers before strolling inside.  Tom and Sabine give her matching grins and call to Marinette that she has a visitor.
When Marinette appears at the bottom of the stairs and spots Alix in her waistcoat and bunny ears, she gives the girl a confused look.  Alix just smiles and pulls out her prized pocket watch.
“You’re late for a very important date,” the skater informs Marinette.  “No time to say hello, goodbye; you’re late, you’re late, you’re late.”  She grabs Marinette by the hand and pulls her out of the bakery.
“Have fun, kids!” Tom calls as the door swings closed.
For a few minutes, Marinette allows herself to be dragged along in silence, too confused to protest.  In fact, when she sees the fluffy white tail protruding from Alix’s white pants, she nearly trips over her own feet.  Eventually, she gathers herself.
“Alix, what’s going on?”  This barely affords her a glance.
“Don’t worry.  You’ll see.”  As Alix turns back around and starts tugging Marinette along again, Myléne comes around the corner ahead of them.
“But I have work I should be doing, and I’m sure my parents need help in the bakery, and there’s so little time, and I’m wearing this silly dress, and-”
“Now, now, don’t cry,” Myléne chastises gently as she joins them.  “Wouldn’t want to create a sea of tears, now would we?”
Marinette’s head snaps around, and she takes in the shorter girl’s grey sweater, mouse ears, and drawn-on whiskers.
“The... doormouse?” Marinette mumbles quietly.  “And... the white rabbit?”
“Very good, Alice.  But don’t get too far ahead of us,” Myléne adds with a grin.  Marinette looks down at herself and reassesses her dress, putting a few more pieces together in her mind.  She nods decisively and speeds up to walk between her friends instead of being pulled behind.
As the group turns another corner, they are met with the entrance to a garden.  The gate is open, but placed into the gap is a small door.  Marinette grins and kneels down to open it.  She crawls through and gasps as she looks up on the other side.
Rose has truly outdone herself with the decorations, turning the garden into a magical forest fit to be called Wonderland.  There are flowers everywhere, shimmering cloths draped through the trees, ceramic mushrooms dotting the ground, and a large table set up in the center.  As Marinette spins around, taking it all in, Rose pops up next to her with a huge, well, Cheshire grin.
“Welcome to Wonderland, Marinette!” Rose squeals.  The stripes on her face are beginning to warp with the size of her smile, and she bats at one of her cat ears with a gloved hand, showing off the paw pads felted to the underside.
“Glad to see I convinced you to wear that dress,” Alya comments as she swishes over, her red and black skirts flowing around her and her crown shining in the sunlight.  Her heart-painted lips pucker in a smirk.  “Fancy a game of croquet?”
She swings a plastic lawn flamingo down from her shoulder and offers it to Marinette.  “I guess since you’re my best friend, I can pass on the beheading part.”
“Heads are made for wearing hats, not for rolling,” comes a shy voice.  Juleka steps out of the shadows and sweeps her overlarge top hat off of her head as she bows.
Marinette’s eyes begin to fill with tears.  “I can’t believe you guys did all this for me!  This is... amazing!  Thank you all so much!”  She gathers her friends into a group hug.
As they pull apart, Myléne smiles.  “Well, it wasn’t all us...” she points out.  When Marinette shoots her a confused look, she steps back and gestures toward the tea table.  Blue meets blue as Marinette turns to face Luka, who is stepping towards her with a soft grin.
“Why, hello, Alice.  Or Marinette, if I may.”  His large rabbit ears flop forward slightly as he takes her hand and leans down to give it a kiss.  “The March Hare, at your service.  Would you care for a spot of tea?”
Marinette, still blushing, giggles and nods.  Luka leads her to the table and pulls out a chair for her.  Seeing the spread of desserts, finger sandwiches, and a beautiful tea pot with steam drifting from the spout, she tears up again.
“You guys really didn’t have to do all this.”
“We know, but we did, so sit down and enjoy,” Alix responds firmly.
“Besides, your parents helped,” Alya points out.  The others all chorus agreements and encouragements, and Marinette somehow finds herself settled into a chair with a cup of tea in front of her.  The others all settle around her and begin passing around the food with smiles and laughter.  Luka’s fingers brush Marinette’s as he hands her a cucumber sandwich, and she nearly drops it at the tingle that runs the whole way up her arm.  That tingle spreads and becomes butterflies in her stomach when Rose mentions that this party was all Luka’s idea.
OooOooOooOooO
Several “clean cup, move down”s, a lot of tasty snacks, and a very strange game of croquet later, Luka rises.  He pulls out his phone and presses a few buttons, causing music to begin playing from hidden speakers.
“Would you like to dance, Marinette?” He asks softly.  A muffled squeak is the first response he receives, but she puts her hand in his nonetheless.  As he leads her to a grassy area and begins to sway with her, he looks down into her eyes.
“You look beautiful, you know.  And your heart sounds so much lighter.”
“Thank you, Luka.  For all of this.  I still can’t believe you guys did all this for me.”
“You’ve been so stressed, Marinette.  We’re your friends, and we wanted to be here for you.  You needed a break and some fun.”  At this, Luka twirls Marinette out, showcasing the loveliness of her dress and making her giggle again.  He pulls her back into a dip and swings her upright smoothly.  As they lock gazes, the song comes to an end, to be replaced by “I Love Unicorns” by Kitty Section.
This jolts a laugh from Marinette, who had been lost in Luka’s eyes until then.  He lets her go, and she is immediately swept up by her friends into a silly jumping dance.  Luka smiles at her joy for a moment before joining in with dramatic air guitar.
They all dance and laugh and play the afternoon away together, Jagged Stone melding with songs from the various movies and shows based on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderful, along with songs from Kitty Section.  Soon, everyone’s sides hurt from dancing and laughing so much, and Marinette feels happier and more at peace than she has in a long time.  If that feeling amplifies every time she looks at Luka, well, that’s her own business.
The last song on the playlist is a recording of Luka playing Marinette’s song, and as soon as it begins, she shyly asks him to dance.
“Of course, Alice.  This Hare is always at your service.”  He bows over her hand.  Marinette tugs one of his ears in response, startling a chuckle out of him.  As Luka and Marinette wrap their arms around each other, Juleka attempts to stifle the squee emerging from Rose.  Alya takes numerous photos of the pair as they sway together, and none of the girls can deny how sweet this moment is.
As the end of the song approaches, Marinette lifts her head from Luka’s chest to look him in the eye.  “Thank you, Luka.  I really needed this.  I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun, and everything has been so hard lately.  Just... thank you.”
“Anytime, Marinette.  I’m always here for you.”
“I know, Luka.  You’re sweet that way.”  After another moment, she nods to herself decisively and tugs on the back of Luka’s neck to bring him closer.  He bends obligingly, and she whispers in his ear.  “I want to thank you properly.”
“Marinette, you don’t have t-”
The rest of his words are lost as she kisses him.  Her nerves are evident, as is his surprise, but they both soon melt into the chaste kiss.
“Thank you, Luka,” she whispers when they pull apart.
“Do we all get one of those?” Alix calls.  The pair blushes, but eventually, everyone laughs, and Marinette’s heart soars.  For the moment, all stress is forgotten, thanks to her friends.

Once upon a time, I asked @yeoldespacebuns​ what she thought the best alternate costume for each queen was. She was confused, for which I don’t blame her, it’s a confusing question, but she asked what I felt my answer was. I ran out of space to answer her, so I answer it now.
It’s long, so I give you a jump!
1. Catherine of Aragon - Zara/Shekinah’s Lilac Costume
Tumblr media
I like this one for Aragon, because while it photographs well, it is very stiff in actuality. If you watch megasixes, it is very rigid and doesn’t have the same flowy aspect as a lot of the other costumes, which I feel fits Aragon specifically- she’s a paragon of royalty, after all, the rules and doing what’s right and proper is her entire jam. Plus, the color could be classified as purple, without being the purple of the show itself, and purple has always been associated with royalty! Also, this is the only valid peplum, don’t @ me.
2. Anne Boleyn - Vicki/Jennifer/Cherelle’s Blue Costume
Tumblr media
It’s not exactly a secret that I love Anne’s principal outfit, and I am known to be a fan of skirts in general, but for some reason, the little shorts really speak to me! And the color blue does just seem very playful to me- out of all the colors of principals and alternates, this teal just screams to me that she is here, gay, and ready to play! (Or bi and ready to try, or straight and here to participate, or ace and trying to place, headcanon Anne however you want, I’m not your mom) And the shorts are just so cute and really seem to fit how I understand Anne’s character.
3. Jane Seymour - Natalie’s Black Pants
Tumblr media
You may think I am cheating, because Jane was only ever Natalie’s second cover, and so this outfit was not designed for Jane, but trust me, honey, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Something about Jane with pants has always spoken to me. I’m not sure I can explain it. I think it started when @charlicpace​ referred to Regina’s Meet the Plastics outfit as “power trousers” and I started seeing pants in a new light. And Jane’s repetition of being unbreakable, pants really compliment that to me. And the black is just such a strong color, it’s decisive, it’s there, and it’s like obsidian- which is my personal favorite type of stone.
4. Anna of Cleves - Cassy/Collette’s Black Cleves
Tumblr media
The only picture of Collette’s outfit I’ve seen was blurry, but I take it it’s the same as Cassy’s. But goth Cleves speaks to me and it should speak to all of you as well. It’s just so suave and so smooth, which I think Cleves is often portrayed as the queen who skated by the best, and it just embodies her well, I think.
5. Katherine Howard - Shannen’s Boleyn Skirt
Tumblr media
Said just you wait, when it comes to cheating. I don’t know if Shannen will ever get to go on for anyone besides Parr, let alone Howard. I do not know if she has a Howard variation. However, I see this, which I can only assume is her Boleyn variation (and this is the only picture of it that seems to exist at this point in time, as it has yet to make it’s debut) and I hope she wears it for Howard.
It’s not a secret that I am not the biggest fan of the Howard outfit. It’s grown on me with time, but I don’t like it as much as I like this, and I feel this fits Howard- even if it’s not for her. The skirt being bouncy and playful emphasizes Howard’s youth, yet it is also ridiculously short, especially if you compare it to Bryony’s version, which also highlights her sexuality, and the juxtaposition of those two really, I feel, sets up All You Wanna Do.
6. Catherine Parr - Courtney’s Orange Costume
Tumblr media
Remember the good old days, when the orange variation didn’t have a peplum? Ah, it was a different time back then. Why I chose orange, for Parr, though is such. A google search tells me this: Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation. Maybe not all of those words fit Parr, but I feel like enough of them do to validate it. 
Plus, my first exposure to Six was the bootleg with her as Parr, so she’ll always be my Parr. <3
So, that’s my list! If anyone else has one they’d like to share, I would love to hear!

Hi. SangCheng modern au, if you will?
I'm gonna indulge myself with a figure skating au because I want to!! Jiang Cheng and by extent Jiang Yanli are based off of the Shibutani Siblings and Nie Huaisang is based off of Evgenia Medvedva in terms of skating style and costume expression.
(gifs below for reference)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, allowing the frigid rink air to fill his lungs and rush out of his lips in a wispy cloud. He stood up, the purple guards on his skates making muted clicks against the linoleum flooring of the rink as he walked toward the barrier. He stopped against the gate, lifting his foot to slide the guard off and setting it on the barrier, repeating the process with his next skate and pushing himself onto the ice from there.
He tugged his sleeves back over his wrists, gliding around the rink and getting a feel for the freshly zambonied ice beneath his blades. He rolled his neck, cracking it and flexing his shoulders as he pulled his ear buds out of his pocket, pressing them into his ears as he queued up his playlist, closing his eyes and allowing himself to move as the music guided him.
He always had his regrets about retiring, yes, it had granted him a second chance in life and allowed him to pursue a fulfilling career in software development, but part of him still yearned for the ice. Part of him felt like a failure, knowing he'd never match up to his brother who was currently fighting Lan Wangji to the top spot on the podium in the upcoming Chinese nationals. A-Jie had found a new partner, and they a better ice dance pair than she and Jiang Cheng ever were.
He exhaled as he flowed into an easy spread Eagle, crossing over into a loose twizzle. In his periphery, a few figures milled around the rink. Lan Xichen stood by the barrier on his phone, tall and elegant in his teal puffer jacket and grey leggings, stretching out before the next training session started and he had to manage multiple skaters throw themselves into jumps and spins for the next two hours.
It was bittersweet, not training anymore. Jiang Cheng's training times never totally aligned with Wei Wuxian's, ice dance and men's singles were two entirely different disciples and needed a fair amount of space, but Wei Wuxian would always come to the rink with him and A-Jie and wait happily, shouting his encouragement until Coach Lan barked at him to shut up and sit down.
Those were the good old days...
"Jiang-xiong!" came a squeal, arms wrapped so tight around his waist he wheezed.
Jiang Cheng whipped around and pulled out his ear buds.
"Shit, Huaisang! You scared me..." He huffed, taking out his phone and pausing his music. Huh. He'd been so out of it he had no idea his playlist on for so long it skipped over to a metal compilation.
“It’s been so long! I’ve missed you.” Huaisang pouted, drifting around him in a lazy circle.
“It hasn’t been that long...” Jiang Cheng mumbled. Huaisang made an indignant squawk and came to a stop.
“That long? Jiang Cheng, I have barely seen you since you retired six years ago!”
Jiang Cheng looked down at his skates guiltily. There had been a reason for that. Since his injuries forced him to retire, it had taken a lot to work up to coming back to the rink. It was difficult to not step on the ice and feel like a complete failure and waste of his parents money and Coach Lan’s time. But then, there was the Huaisang Issue.
Only Wei Wuxian, A-Jie and Jiang Cheng’s ex Wen Qing knew the full extent of the Huaisang Issue. 
Despite their differing disciplines, Nie Huaisang was Jiang Cheng’s best friend while they were training. When they were 13, Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian and A-Jie had moved from Hubei to Beijing to train under the Chinese national coaching team. They only had each other in the big city, and it felt lonely, until Nie Huaisang joined them. 
He stayed with Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian in their shared dorm, and the three boys grew close, but Wei Wuxian was never as close to him as Jiang Cheng was. Late at night, when Wei Wuxian had passed out blasting some rock band in his cheap headphones, Jiang Cheng would sit up and listen to Huaisang’s stories about his family in Hebei, about his older brother who has been in the army since Huaisang was twelve, and didn’t understand their sport but always tried his best.
He held Huaisang on the day his brother came to the rink, and told him that their parents were gone. He sat in the locker room and held his tiny, shaking frame as he sobbed into the lightweight fabric of his sports shirt. He helped convince his brother that Huaisang should keep skating, he helped out Huaisang when he could when money got tight.
The loss brought them closer. There were nights Jiang Cheng would let Huaisang into his bed and hold him through the night. When Wei Wuxian moved to another dorm, Huaisangs bed became unused, and Huaisangs friendship became... Something more.
Something Jiang Cheng couldn't allow himself to have.
It still haunted him, the soft press of Huaisangs lips against his, a quiet confession and a fumbling experiment in the bed that should have never happened. And no matter how hard Jiang Cheng tried, he could never forget about it. His heart yearned for Huaisang.
He could never love anyone the way he loved Huaisang.
"Jiang Cheng? Are you okay?" Huaisang asked, pulling Jiang Cheng out of his head.
"Hm? Yeah. I'm... Yeah. Sorry. I'm okay."
"You sure? You went quiet on me..."
"Yeah. I'm alright just... Thinking. I'm sorry its been so long. I've been..." running from my feelings. "Busy."
"That's alright. It's good to see you again. Wei Ying and Yanli keep me updated but I never see you around here..."
"I'm sorry... Huaisang. I'm sorry." he began to skate away.
"Jiang Cheng?"
"I need to go.. I have... Something. Something to finish I'm. I'm sorry."
He ignored Huaisang's calls as he stepped off the ice, collecting his guards and sliding them back on, stalking to the locker room to collect his things and leave.
He couldn't do this again, no matter how his heart ached.

cosplay progress and more random vents
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the pieces so far- Missing currently is gray paint for the headphones, and something to do a teal “Bi” cheek tattoo with. Also ordered the EVA foam to cover the skates with a while ago but still hasn’t arrived, hope it isn’t lost
And so I decided to dye the wig today
Tumblr media
It was a process. Basically realized I might need a whole other bottle of blue dye to make it work, so decided to do maths and figure out what I’d need for the recipe- Basically, regular recipe calls for:
2 cups blue
1/4 cup green
3 tablespoons gray
3 gallons water
instead I used these amounts:
1 bottle blue (.875 cups roughly)
5.25 teaspoons green
4 teaspoons gray
21 cups water
the result was... just blue. Cut off a piece of the wig to use as a swatch, and just kept getting blue. Added a few teaspoons more of green, still blue. Eventually, started pouring the bottle in, at least 3/4s of the bottle. Finally, I got an okay color, but rushed it a bit- Was about to get in a call with friends, so I figured, stir it for five minutes and that should be enough
Tumblr media
Well, it looked okay, but part of it felt darker in places, though I couldn’t tell if it was the lighting or not. So later on, I re-boiled the dye, added even more green, and dumped that baby in there (the last white swatch I had came out to a nice green color), so did that, did it for 15-20 minutes this time, and now it’s out to dry. It’s a tad greener... ish...? But I’ll accept it for what it is- Should’ve probably given it a bit more water to swim around in since by the second time, a lot of water had dissipated.
Tumblr media
for reference, the color I was after:
Tumblr media
now, there’s one problem...
I realize I don’t own a flat iron, I swore I did, but alas. Ordered one on Amazon and should be here Friday, anyway. Hope I can restore it to its original shape
Honestly, feeling a lot of anxiety over this costume- Was originally meant to be some silly non-serious outfit, that just had a bunch of hurdles I felt like tackling head on, and now they feel too overwhelming, I guess. It’s like, I work on the costume, and all I do is feel sick while working on it, but it’s a goal, and so I have to do it, I guess- the money’s spent, no going back, but man, not looking forward to the end result, I guess.
Next time I’ll probably just buy a wig closest in color and just style it properly (though cutting/styling hair is also something I’m terrible at...), the thought of painting the fabric is already giving me anxiety
Also need to do laundry, wash those clothes before I paint them and wash my casual clothes in general- Haven’t done laundry in a month, I think (beyond my dress-ier clothes), just never feel like getting around to it and scraping by with what I can wear
But yeah, anxiety, it’s weird. Tonight’s mostly been a sort of existential type- at least, creatively. Realizing I have no projects I feel like working on and nothing I feel like doing, and the dread of sitting here doing absolutely nothing’s been taking over me- I want to work on RN again, but have no ideas of what to draw or how to get myself to work on the comic again. I think of Skatered things, but zero idea of where to start with anything- Should I learn programming? Make more 3D models? Learn weight painting, finally? Mod JSRF or THUGPro? Hard to say.
Just a weird “wasted time” sense of anxiety, I suppose. But I’ve sort of conditioned myself to “not” think creatively, I think? It’s like, if I start thinking of what I can make, I also start thinking of my past failures and how they’ll most likely just happen again, and how impossible it feels to escape my current creative position
I think I can sum up my desires pretty easily- I really want to create things, and I want Kresna to be happy.
Also, random topic, been seeing random drama over some people I used to watch, it’s kind of weird, since they were my favorites of their groups, but I’m kind of impressed at how little I seem to care about it- Stopped watching them for a while and only just started killing time with stuff recently, now no real reason to keep watching again, just a weird apathetic feeling I guess.
But yeah, otherwise, I just sort of feel like I’m starting to let everything slip away again, and it’s a bleh feeling. Just a bunch of small things eating away at me
I’ll be going to work soon, need to fix my bike tire or something, not looking forward to how to get there
Heat’s on and I want to open windows, but traffic is too loud with windows open and I’m uncomfortable if bugs get inside
Chair and headphones are flaking apart and getting all over me, should replace them/parts of them or something
Want a certain type of desk, but can’t find one like it anywhere (other than places like Pinterest of course so I know it exists), just want a decent shelf-lined hutch mixed with a keyboard tray...
Anxious about displaying things like my Kuja figure in general, about trivial things like dust, sunlight, etc destroying everything I own
laundry, groceries, my mother’s estate things, lots of things slipping by me
etcetcetc
but let’s end on a picture of Kuja for good times sake (I love how detailed he is, I wonder if his FMV model still exists somewhere or if they just really studied the FMVs themselves like I have spent too much time doing, he’s so detailed and accurate, right down to the way his armor looks on the back, and aaa I hope to make his outfit someday... my only real gripe is how his left side seems to be curved...weirdly...
Tumblr media
wait did I get a defective Kuja figure
Tumblr media Tumblr media
vs
Tumblr media Tumblr media
did I really get one that reused the right side piece for both sides
not sure how to feel about that actually, honestly kind of impressed

//OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE WHOLE MAYHEM I CREATED AND BROUGHT TO MYSELF. Anyway, a few days ago I was thinking about adding a Figure Skating AU, and yes, I’LL ADD IT when I have time to think about a story or something (maybe it could work as a Modern AU too). Anyway, I thought of two costumes. The first one is more like a mono, with teal and turquoise tones, a thread of feathers that envelope her figure from one of her shoulders to her hip. The other one is more classy, with fine silver and gold threads on her dress, this one has a cut on the side and is mostly blue. In the upcoming days, I’ll create a better concept, these are just sketches. I gotta thank @lunareslacrimae​ bc we’ve been screaming about this au for an hour or so.
