Koisenu Futari Production Journal ⑩ (translation pt. 1)

part 1 of 3 | part 2 | original article here

this is kind of long (and it's only part one!) so I'm putting it under the cut. if you catch any errors, let me know!

Hello, I am Sayaka Takahashi, the costume director of Koisenu Futari.

In a drama, the costuming of a character plays the fundamental role of adding realism to a characterization. In addition to that, however, I think costuming expresses a “background” that can’t be conveyed by the dialogue or storyline alone, and gives viewers the chance to dig deeper into the characters.

I especially tried to keep this in mind while styling the characters for this show.

Like many, I first heard of the existence of aromantic and asexual people while working on this show. Although there were many new surprises in this regard, reading through the script and understanding the characters better helped me to understand that they were all very fascinating. I soon began working on expanding upon the impressions I got through the costumes.

Approachable and somewhat delicate, despite their strong sense of individuality—in order to convey this impression, I used a variety of colors in the composition of each character’s outfits. The costumes needed to be heavily emphasized in order to come across as colorful in a show with lots of location shooting, but I tried to add color freely without getting boxed in by that.

I will specifically explain the costuming processes of Sakuko, Takahashi, and Kazu.

⚫Sakuko’s Costumes

When styling Sakuko, I tried to ensure that she immediately came off as a bright and likeable character.

At first, I developed a soft, fluffy look using pastels and muted colors, and incorporated recognizable trends such as frills, see-through fabrics, and puffed sleeves in order to create the image of a girl who has fun with both her work and her fashion.

I also expressed her sociable nature using the colors of her jackets and the balance of her backpack. However, after her encounter with Takahashi, she begins to realize that she had been subconsciously changing herself to suit the needs of the people around her.

When Sakuko goes from realization to acceptance, we see her world become more vivid and colorful. This is when her clothes and accessories begin to gradually change. We decided that she had liked rather large earrings even before her realization, and used those alongside her backpack to emphasize her individuality.

While the outfit she wears to visit Takahashi’s home for the first time is a normal commuting outfit, the balance of color used to express her joy and excitement at finally being able to relate to someone, as well as the vigor with which she innocently barges into the house, makes it one of her main looks.

And in episode 3, the coat Sakuko comes across during the shopping scenes in episode 3 becomes a vital part of her awakening to a newfound sense. For this scene, we looked for something very impactful and something that, above all else, suited Sakuko the best. Ms. Kishii looks very good in vivid colors, especially red, so we unanimously decided on this bright red coat during the costume fittings. This coat becomes the start of Sakuko’s discovery of a new part of herself as she begins to try out clothes and accessories she had never chosen to wear previously.

Starting from episode 6, there is a clear change in Sakuko’s appearance, where Takahashi’s grandmother’s influence can be seen. Her style begins to broaden as she begins to embrace vintage clothing and accessories, such as brooches, and begins incorporating more masculine elements. Specifically, we introduced elements that we had been avoiding up through episode 5, such as second-hand clothing, denim, primary colors, black, and large earrings.

I hope we were able to convey the relief and freedom Sakuko feels as she chooses to wear the things that she likes without having to care about what others think of her.

thanks to @dollopheadsandclotpoles and many others for their kind words of encouragement - I hope you enjoy!

matt mercer saying in an interview that tmn animated will have none-tmn pov episodes concerns me a little. like , it doesn't need to be huge and expansive, theyre scrappy little weirdos, i rly like their weird small worldviews being challenged as the plot expands. but on one hand i sort of like the idea of a simultaneous plotline of them befriending a snooty fancy drow (essek) and that cutting between him absolutely ruining countless civilians including tmn's lives, but idk if the way i envision that is vry diffferent to what it would actually be, seeing as it implies episodes. either way i hope it stays like, he's fucking terrible, because if theres too much fanservice-y soft boy uwu shit i might have to hit him with a brick

#refering to a vry short interview article thing on businessinsider bc i saw people mention it and looked around for it #im like fully aware it wont fulfil my Vision and suit my taste and what i got out of cr2. but i would like it to be good and fun #kiddo say #sorry this is a hater post. and reading into things a little toooooo much maybe #its /lighthearted though #i wish i could show everyone the tmn animated show in my brain because its cool . unfortunately it will stay in there #ok i need to stop being distracted

Yall, its time to ramble about visual/environmental storytelling cause this is silly article is driving me insane.

I won't argue for if the game should have had more constant and involved cutscenes like Robobot or Star Allies, but what I will say is that this game is VERY rich in story through the world design. The Forgotten Land as opposed to say the Land of the Sky in TD or the entire galaxy of Star Allies is like, DROWNING in writing and narrative. It builds so much mystery and intrigue through the theming of every world and even individual levels, with exploring both how the people of the land originally lived and how it's being reclaimed by nature and the animals.

I think the closest things maybe is Robobot and Halcandra in RTDL, the former having great little designs that key you into WHAT Haltmann is doing and what makes it so toxic. Halcandra though is the ultimate grand-daddy, the contrast between it and the Lor, and Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner is full of theming and clues about the nature and history of the planet. AND THAT IS STORY, THAT IS WRITING! Especially when compared to say Star Allies, where most of the levels of the levels are just ye average Kirby themed fluff with little to say about the Jamba or the state they've left the galaxy in. But when you play through the casino levels of Robobot, as well as delightful theming and level design, you see that Haltmann is erecting literally the most predatory entertainment centers imaginable. When you step off the sleek futuristic Lor into the scrapyards and wastes of Halcandra, you get fun intimidating final worlds, and a good grasp on *why* the people who made the Lor aren't around anymore, and may even start questioning why Magolor made such a great fuss of dragging you to this horrible place. Music is also deeply important to this storytelling. Each of the factories/towers erected in ever world of Robobot's theme is a remix usually of themes related to older mechanical levels, subtly clueing you into where Haltmann go their technology from. Outside the Lor rather than the comfortable motif of Green Greens is this almost comically suspicious and disoriented theme once you're stuck on Halcandra and returning to Magolor with more doubts about his words. The final level inside of the volcano house a theme that is teasing the twist to come, and the theme for fighting Landia before the big reveal is less triumphant, and more majestic and pensive. Possibly trying to evoke more hesitance than confidence, even if most people wouldn't catch on to that on a first run.

But the cooler thing, is that while Robobot has this cool theming at key levels, and RtDL does at the end, this type of shit is pervasive ALL throughout Forgotten Land. Every world and nearly every level is a unique, well thought-out set piece! You get to see abandoned towns, cities, malls, stores, factories, resorts, and an amusement park, each which serves as more than just a fun location, but a clear picture of the world and the state its in. This intent is made clearer through the music and tone that goes out of its way to not highlight the destruction of these areas but their beauty, wonder, and mystery through the eyes of an clueless animals and our favorite pink alien. The abandoned Alivel Malls theme is a track as upbeat and peppy as what must've played over it's speakers in it's hayday, because the hustle and bustle breathed back into it by the animals and Kirby just exploring this mysterious complex is just as lively. The theme of the Everbay Coast is peaceful and sunny despite the Holine ruins because it's as part of the scenery to the animals and Kirby as the picturesque palms and sands. And Wondaria!!!!!!!!! OMG WONDARIA WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN WITH EVERY FUCKING LEVEL AND THEME IN WONDARIA!!! THIS IS WHY I CAN'T TAKE THAT CLAIM SERIOUSLY - y'know when I cried at Forgotten Land? In world 3. Not because of a cutscene or a line of dialogue, but just from the sheer emotion the setting evoked in me. The sweet, laid-back, starry-eyed wonder that it expressed from Kirby mixed with my own sense of nostalgia being aware of what that place was, and how beautiful it was to see it rediscovered and adored by Kirby and the animals of the Forgotten Land. It evokes such a strong feeling of bittersweetness, of existential dread comforted by the knowledge that the simple joys and memories we create places like amusement parks to share will continue on as long as there is life in the world. And unlike some of my musings about past games, this was explicitly intentional. What truly brought the tears to my eyes was remembering an interview where the devs were explaining how they were trying to keep the tone light and Kumazaki said specifically they wanted to evoke peace and beauty rather than loss.

LIKE THIS IS WRITING! This is storytelling, this is intention. It's just subtle, but not at all unimportant, and it ties into the more overarching plot. It raises the question constantly of where the people went that is answered by Forgo, and expresses the dichotomy between the simple innocence of the animals compared to the ambitions of the people who abandoned them and that is now possessing their leader. It creates stakes for Elfilis and Forgo's intentions to destroy everything so beautiful and pure about the current world, but as it absolves the current world of guilt, it puts into perspective JUST HOW LONG Forgo must have been locked away that things changed so much. And as softly as the exploits of the original people are portrayed by the game, knowing their treatment of Eliflis and Forgo as a thing of entertainment and tool for innovation is sickening placed in contrast with it. Like back to Wondaria, the way it shows how much space travel must have pervaded the imagination and escapism of the people either before or after Forgo's arrival is insanely smart. And it gives me chills in the best way seeing Kirby run around images of cartoon aliens from a civilization who would never meet him. Of Kirby, Elfilin, and Bandana sticking their head into a cardboard cutout of an astronaut meeting an alien, with the text "wish you were here" above in a script they don't even understand. A SCRIPT THE WRITERS MADE FOR THIS GAME SO THAT THEY COULD ADD MESSAGES LIKE THAT INTO THE WORLD FOR KEEN PLAYERS TO NOTICE AND MAKE CONNECTIONS. Like it's insane. The dedication the Hal Labs has to stuff like this is maddening! It's so sweet and heartfelt and crafty, I'm so pissed off how little respect it gets because people don't understand visual storytelling!!!!! Saying Forgotten Land is light on story is preposterous, it might just be one of the most finely crafted stories the series has had to date, and is just a really solid piece of science fantasy writing in general honestly. It is packed with environmental storytelling that drives me Up The Fucking Wall, Man.

Was this the article you read by any chance?

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/13/chinas-rotten-girls-are-escaping-into-erotic-fiction-about-gay-men

It was not but that was a rollercoaster ride to read oh my god. . Absolute rapid fire combo hits from narration about Hualian making out to tgcf KFC to pregnancy to fujoshi to danmei men are nonbinary to the CCP arresting danmei authors ... That was a lot to put in one 5 minute read I feel like I just got hit by a train

#thank you for sharing though... no the article i was referring to was like a research paper done in 2011 #but honestly this is more fun #had my jaw dropped for the whole thing

Starfleet officers: [use the holodeck, a machine which has tried to kill them multiple times and breaks on the regular]

Starfleet officers: [shocked, flabbergasted, stunned when the holodeck breaks and tries to kill them]

#star trek #this is mostly refering to tng #but im sure it happens often enough elsewhere #i havent seen enough to know #however #i do question the continued wisdom of using the holodeck #which tried to kill them as minuette #made a sentient moriarty to try and kill data #shot at them in the 1940s #set a load of fake datas on them #and has several articles detailing every time the damn thing broke #good episodes though #always very fun

played thru ys vi back in august, was really surprised with how charming the game is. here’s some doodles

#now then. how do i tag this... #ys vi #ys vi: the ark of napishtim #adol christin #art stuff #ive never heard of this franchise before & found this game randomly thru an article when i was looking for 00-10s pc games to play #the art style is so cute! the characters are very likeable and i found myself growing really attached to adol #despite him never saying anything. i like to think hes mute though #i didnt really like terra that much but after i beat the game i found out shes 16 and i was like oh actually nevermind. shes literally fine #the adoladoc yaoi in this post is purely for fun. theres literally no reason for it in the game lol. i just think ladoc is sexy #found out he has a quote unquote wife while looking for refs though. sad #anyway you should play this game if you like cozy jrpgs

i think the point of a university-level education is a bit lost on some of my course mates...

#things are not going to be spoon fed to you you will have to do your own research #seek out your own education guided by lectures and assignments #relish that freedom instead of lamenting it!! #some of these assignments are actually good and ive been able to tailor them to my interests #like rn im learning about the uses of bracken in ancient scotland! #i just did a whole project on tomato grafting (i love solanaceae - tomato family) and whilst it was hard i did enjoy reading about it #we had some mini essays to research and they were so interesting to research and fun to write because one of them was a comparing two #articles and one of them was really bad so it was fun to rip it to shreds and actually apply the knowledge we've been accumulating in class #but i think the point of doing all this is lost on some of them #which is a real shame #maybe im just a nerd? #i very much have the benefit of doing a degree before this so maybe im being harsh #but saying that assessments suck doesnt make them any more interesting #also we have so much free reign over topic that if it sucks it's kind of on you a lil bit #though i will admit some of the assignments are stupid

I know we make jokes about tumblr affecting our brains but apparently tumblr has altered my understanding of friendship entirely. I had to ask someone how to tell if you were friends irl because I had some problems and they were like "do you share interests?" as a baseline and that gave me pause because like

share interests with potential friends?? here?

I'm lucky if my interests are in the same zip code anymore with my mutuals, nevermind friends I have outside of tumblr. The closer we are the less they seem to line up at the same time even if we met through a shared fandom

and here I am like a fool trying to make friends on vibes alone on the assumption that it doesn't matter if we like totally different things irl smh

#personal #it's easier with crafting and board games because it doesn't matter what my hyperfixation of the month is I always do that stuff #but like 'oh what tv show are you into' is a can of worms that I don't want to get into with some random person #how do I explain that my interests are split right now between mob pyscho and barbie 2023 #crafting spaces are my safer space because I could be like 'I'm really getting into the diaries of this long dead poet' and it'd be fine #'oh yeah long dead poet stuff yeah my grandmother's cousins' sewing group does that' is the kind of response I'd expect #though maybe I should just live my truth #alright folks which of you reads wikipedia articles for fun and likes learning about weird mushrooms

thinking about how Les Mis is historical fiction that was written so soon after the historical event that inspired it in this Chili's tonight ladies

#like... vicky was IN paris when the june rebellion happened. #also how much of the brick is so historical... hugo gives so much historical background and contemporary context of the time #waterloo!! the slang chapters!! #we make fun of his 3-hour tangents but they're TEACHING they offer INSIGHT!!! #victor hugo wrote a history and proved his own characters' points: history is a tragedy as R says but the tragedy is worth it as E says #it's worth it for love!!! every type!!!! every type is given just as much weight!!! #because that's why the tragedy is worth it!!! that's why living (history) is worth it!!!!! #the adaptation of the musical showcases it as well even though they don't have end of the verses OR ofpd which are thesis moments. #to me. #but they have everything most important and ''to love another person is to see the face of God'' and i just- unnfhdjfsjjf #Lu rambles #les mis #paris taylorswift but like. in reverse. #not factchecking myself btw i read articles like 2 years ago and I'm too tired to double check i remember my facts right ajflsjgkjsk

[tricoufamily]

ok i made a basic little description bc i realized i never even said the plot of my story lmao

#i was like eh this is boring i don't need this #then i realized you all don't live in my head and can't read my mind #so basic backstory 🕺 #you know i used to hate writing descriptions but i actually like it now #it's still very hard for me. but rewarding and kinda fun #i tried to make this one sound like a news article but i don't know if it really comes through. it says what it needs to though!

[wintersettled]

i am once again thinking about the hilichurl rogue :(

the first time i fought it was actually yesterday after climbing a mountain in fontaine cause i wanted to see what it was and the drops really reminded me of neanderthal flower burials + how both neanderthals and hilichurls are/have been seen as primitive beings despite tons of evidence to the contrary (ignoring what we know about khaenri'ah since the curse of the wild seems to cause them to be catatonic for a period of time).

theres tons of literature on how neanderthals actually appear to be similar to homo sapiens and have higher mental functioning as evidenced through their tools, their presumed social structures (taking care of injured/disabled neanderthals rather than abandoning them as would be thought of beings focused only on survival), but most notably for this the evidence of "flower burials" at Shanidar.

Basically, two neanderthals were found buried in primarily medicinal flowers (indicating their possible role in their group). I believe there were 11(?) other neanderthals found there who appeared to have been crushed by rockfall whos ages (if my memory is correct) were from around 7 to mid 40s. The reason i bring this up is because of one of the flowers found at Shanidar: Achillea/Yarrows. I find these flowers to be fairly similar in appearance of the petals (excluding size) to the hilichurl rogues drops

Now, each drops description:

A Flower Yet to Bloom "a wildflower that a hilichurl rogue treasured. it was plucked before it could bloom. the hilichurl takes nothing with it in its sojourn across the wilderness save this flower."

Treasured Flower "a wild flower that a hilichurl picked bereft of any special qualities. flowers can be used as gifts or offerings to express ones feelings in many cultures"

for this description in specific i would actually like to quote Ralph S Solecki's "The Implications of the Shanidar Cave Neanderthal Flower Burial"

"Under normal circumstances, today, in many cultures, flowers and death go together, as one can see a funeral corteges and burials. The association of flowers as tokens of esteem, respect, or for the joy of looking at [...]. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 'the flower has been a universal symbol of beauty in the civilizations of the world. Confucius included its cultivation among the arts that were essential to a man of culture.' We pride ourselves thinking that we know a lot about Neanderthal man, but the association of flowers with Neanderthals adds a whole new dimension to our knowledge of him, and his humanistic nature."

Wanderer's Blooming Flower "a blooming wild flower that a hilichurl rogue treasured, bereft of any special qualities. the eternal outlander asks not for reward, but only to see their deeds come to fruition"

TLDR (abstract lol); hilichurl rogue drops remind me of the neanderthal flower burials found at shanidar

below the cutoff are some sources if you want to do further reading on neanderthals

(im not an anthropologist or even studying it btw but here are some articles on neanderthals i used for a bibliography on neanderthal spirituality in an anth class last winter in case you want to read up on it, theyre formatted in SAA kinda)

*taps microphone* TLOU inspired prompts pls

Thanks for the prompt request!

Sorry for taking so long lol. (Literally an entire tv show for this story came out while I was getting through my hiatus period T_T)

Btw, while it was genuinely fun researching TLOU and coming up with ideas, I don't think I'll be doing any more fandom-related prompt requests for stories I'm not already familiar with. You can totally still ask for them if you want, but know that I might deny the request on this basis

Anyways, hope you like the prompts. Consider tagging me if you end up using any of them

CW - The Last of Us spoilers

------------

“What the hell is this thing?” Ellie asked from the other room.

Joel heard an inhuman screeching.

He sprinted, and then stopped, staring. Ellie looked up at him with a confused expression on her face.

He burst out laughing at the dilapidated furby in her hands.

---

Snow was falling, and Joel had started murmuring again.

“This is bullshit,” Ellie muttered to herself. It wasn’t like she was a doctor. She had no idea how to help him.

Joel’s murmuring grew louder.

God, she had to figure out how to help him.

She crawled over, and winced at the sight. He was sweaty, and twitching slightly. His bandages had started to leak again.

“Can you hear me, Joel?”

Then, scaring the crap out of her, his eyes burst open, foggy with delirium.

“Sarah?” he asked.

She held back her grimace.

“Yeah,” she said, pushing hair off his face. “I’m here.”

---

What would it have looked like if Ellie came out to Joel as a kid?

---

What were Sam’s thoughts on his last night alive?

----

JJ turned a page and his face brightened. “A giraffe!”

Ellie peered over his shoulder and sipped her coffee. “I saw one of those once. In real life.”

Dina cast her gaze over. “Yeah right.”

Ellie grinned. “I bet I know where to find them again, if you want to come see.”
