Formal, favourite and alternative for your dropout ocs please and thank you

ty @unitedindistaste <33! Asks taken from here.

formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?

This is hard because I had No Thoughts about their formal styles. Can they even do formal styles? I feel they were forced to when they were younger, and both were intent Not To for various reasons as they got older. I gave it a go, not fully satisfied and this may change but:

Hayden: I feel Hayden is still, of course, very masc. Very stud aest in particular. Like, this is specific. They're a black queer woman, they're from New York. So this matter. This likely influenced them a lot growing up, even despite having spent time in Cali. I don't see Hayden as overly fancy. Probably a button down and some nice pants, maybe a jacket that they take off. The button down is upon [something like the left]. HOWEVER, I feel that's for like regular formal. Like you going to mass or you're just going some place, an interview. But for something fancy, if they must, I do see simple but more colorful. Like the right [but sans hats]

I also like this for Hayden. A part of me says she does MORE, but I think MAYBE it is in terms of patterns not so much as pieces [Like I don't see her with ties/bow ties, and probably not vests. And her casual outfits are more out there in sillyness rather than STYLE.] I like this too.

Lloyd: I see Lloyd defaulting to just black, lmao. It's simple. It looks nice. It looks mysterious and even he can say he looks hot like that.

I feel for the first outfit, he could wear it like that. But he'd prefer a darker colored shirt. OR he could go with a sweater instead of the jacket, and again a darker colored button down. The second outfit is perfect for him. He could go for the third, probably. But it would again have to be darker. I feel he can go for lighter colors when casual but for some reason formal makes him feel more shy? So something that could make him blend it in would be best.

favorite: Does your OC have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? What is it? What's the meaning behind it? Do they wear it all the time or do they wear it sparingly to keep it safe?

Lloyd LOVES sweaters, lmao. He also, I feel still has a scrunchie Uma gave him. He probably has a few that he 'stole' from her. I feel a couple are threadbare but there are some he is very careful with. There are special occasion scrunchies. [He is so obsessed with them. Uma run for your life.] I feel he could probably have something of Travis [Travis run for your life wqer lmao], but I don't see Travis giving pieces of himself as freely. But if he did, it would probably one thing unlike Uma, and he would wear it a lways BUT also be careful with it. [Travis would be so mad about this ROFLMAO. Gonna make Lloyd cry.]

Hayden: I feel Hayden is less sentimental but I feel maybe something Maude got for her when she came out. Maybe a chain necklace?

alternate: What would your OC's alternate universe look be? If they're a fantasy character, what's their modern look? If they're sci-fi, what's their fantasy look? What AU would you want to see your OC in, and how would they dress themself? Bonus: Prompt an AU!

Hrm. I say. Since tthey're modern and I love a good fantasty, let me do a fantasy look. I also don't know what AU I'd like to see them in. I think Lloyd could do well in a Noir or a thriller. And Hayden something light and fun, either like a sci-fi fantasy like Atlantis or the Treasure Island or one of the ones wher eyou're sent to a muppet/cartoon world. As for how thwy would dress themselves -- this question as too many questions, so we're gonna skip that.

I feel Hayden in a fantasy [maybe bc I'm on bg3] would dress like more somber bard. Maybe something like a ranger in color but with a touch of flair? Maybe a pirate! Maybe like this or this.*

For the boy ... I think Lloyd would be somethink Monk-like but with darker colors? Like this [a touch less fancy and without the shawl] or this.

*funnily I feel Flint would seem to be more where Lloyd would lean but I think Rackham would better suited for Lloyd. The jewlery, the slouchy queerness. Flint is def masc queer woman material llmao.
