You Call It Madness But I Call It Love

Chapter 1: You Shouldn't Have Answered The Door

Pairing: Soldier Boy x f!reader, Reader POV

Summary: When the reader left Payback 40 years ago after a falling out with her childhood best friend she never looked back, but when two men show up to her apartment and start asking her questions about the past, the reader begins to think those things can’t stay hidden and starts to question what’s real and what’s fantasy. This is a re-telling of The Boys Season 3, where the reader is a supe who's known Soldier Boy since 1927. The chapters will fluctuate between past and present. This is chapter one of my "You Call It Madness But I Call It Love" series. (I'm so bad at summaries please forgive me!)

Chapter 2

******************************************

Present Day

Your head rests against your forearms on your desk, jerking upwards as a loud rhythmic knocking assaults the front door of your apartment.

What?

You think to yourself, rubbing your face with your hands. Your sketchpad was laid open on your desk beneath your head, the rough sketch of an egret bowing its head along the bank of a small pond splayed over the page in shades of gray. It would be the first in your new series of nature paintings that you would be unveiling in a month.

At least I didn't poke my eye out with the pencil. You think eyeing the sharpened point of the pencil that was dangerously close to your face a few seconds ago.

You turn your wrist to glance at your watch and note the time. It was an antique, square faced and strung on a simple black band, a reminder of a past life that you couldn't bear to part with.

Who would come see me at 8:00 am on a Monday?

For a minute you try to remember if you'd received a call from the curator of the gallery downtown, or if there had been a meeting or a lunch with your agent to discuss your next installment of work, but nothing comes to mind.

When you officially retired from being a hero you decided to become a full time artist, a hobby you had since you were a child. You hadn't expected it explode. You had enough money from your heroing career to live several lifetimes, not unwelcome given the fact that you couldn't die, not in the traditional sense at least, so art was supposed to just be a way for you to off steam. But you were happy with your life now, a lot happier than you had been when you were a hero on Payback. The thought of your previous employment with Vought sours in your mouth followed by the unavoidable thought of Ben that you push down with a well practiced sigh.

You didn't feel like reliving all that over again right now, though you knew it would probably happen later. It came in waves, especially at night when you found it difficult to sleep, the melatonin wasn't working, and all you really wanted was a hard drink.

Sobriety sucked.

The knocking persists, rattling around in your head like a bee trying to get out of a plastic cup.

"Fine. I'm coming." You shout standing up from your desk and making your way from the wall that serves as your studio towards the front door of your apartment, while trying to rub away the line the page made on your cheek.

Your apartment was the one extravagance you allowed yourself. Despite the amount of money you had, flashing it had never been a priority even in your hero days. The apartment was open concept with exposed brick walls, tall North facing windows that angled away from the inside and jutted outward over a raised wooden floored area that served as your studio. A large modern kitchen sat just to the right of the front door with stainless steel appliances, on another wall a tv hung above a leather couch and held a dark hallway that lead to your bedroom and the guest bedroom, the other walls were covered in your work, and the final wall held several bookshelves with art supplies and your vinyl record collection. A collection you started forever ago and that continued to grow with each passing year.

Need to get another bookshelf. You note looking at the limited space that remained.

You look through the peep hole in the solid metal apartment door. A tall dark haired man wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a black duster and a thin younger guy with brown curly hair stare back at you.

"I don't want to buy any girl scout cookies." You shout through the heavy metal of the door.

The younger guy snorts.

"y/f/n y/l/n?" The dark haired man asks an accent tilting the ends of his words.

"Who's asking?"

He pulls out a badge, holding it up to the peep hole. "I'm Agent Butcher, this is Agent Campbell. We’re from the CIA, here to ask you a couple of questions about Soldier Boy."

At the mention of Ben's hero name you pause. You had avoided thinking about your former best friend as much as possible over the past forty years. Your relationship with Ben was complicated, the final few days you spent together even more complicated than the early years.

It hurt to compare what your life with him was like before you both became supes to the life you had together after. You had grown up together, forced into close proximity because your parents were friends and then became best friends yourselves. You stayed friends, before you both got injected with Compound V and a few years later moved on to Payback together. You were the only person able to keep Ben in check and as violent as his temper was, he didn't like to cross you. You were the only person who knew the real him, had been with him longer than anyone else. Not that he ever admitted that to you or admitted that he cared about you, but you thought somewhere deep down that he had to, felt at least something for you.

That was the problem. You were in love with him, cared deeply about him, cared more about him than anyone else you'd ever had in your life. On the night you finally slept together you were happy, you thought he felt the same way, and then the next day at his premiere you found him in the bathroom with Countess bent over a sink. The fight that followed had been your resignation from Payback and also the reason why you weren't there when Ben died.

Your jaw clenches together at the memory, followed by guilt. You were always there for him, you had his back just as he had yours, but the one time you hadn't been there-

You open the door to look at them. "The singer?"

"What?" Agent Butcher looks confused.

"The artist? Soulja Boy-" You arch a brow feigning confusion. "Because honestly I don't understand why the CIA would be asking me about that."

“No.” Agent Butcher holds up a photo.

You keep your face impassive. It’s a photo of Ben and you at a movie premiere the week before he left to go to Nicaragua. Both of you were standing in your supe suits, your own was a sleeveless black one piece suit with purple embellishments that traced from the sides of your ankles and stretched up under your armpits, while a dark hood covered your head and a black mask hid the bottom of your face. You always thought you looked more like a supervillain in it, but you were thankful that it hid your identity. It was so long ago, but you still remember that night clearly. The ridiculous movie, the afterparty where everyone was so tipsy and the smell of alcohol burned against your nose, and finally when you went to the bathroom and found Ben and Countess together, the immeasurable rage followed by heartbreak that you felt when you saw them. Not to mention the fight that followed when Ben trampled all over your heart and stated that you meant nothing to him.

“You’re here to talk to me about my mom?” You flit your eyes back to the two men standing in the doorway, easily slipping into the lie that you and Legend invented.

“Your mom?” Agent Campbell looks confused.

“Yeah. Indigo? I mean y’all can come in if you want-“ You open the door wider, understanding that they won't leave, before you begin to move towards the kitchen. “I apologize in advance. I’m not quite myself, I was up late working.” You pause halfway into the kitchen. “I’m going to make some coffee, you guys want some?” You eye the man in the black coat. "Or tea?"

“Coffee is fine."

You find the coffee filters and shuffle through the cupboards to find a bag of coffee, still trying to wake up. Staying up late wasn't unusual for you. You tended to find the urge to create in the wee hours of the morning, not to mention everything that happened in the past kept you up.

You open the bag of coffee to smell the grounds, thinking that it will wake you up, but as soon as you do the smell of Agent Butcher and Agent Campbell washes over you.

You could smell the compound V in their veins pumping through their bodies with every beat of their hearts.

So, they're supes. You think to yourself, pouring the grounds into the coffeemaker. Which means they probably aren't from the CIA.

Despite the realization, you weren't worried. Your particular ability was a well-kept secret, a secret that only Ben knew despite you being on Payback. Stan Edgar and the others had believed that "Indigo," the hero name assigned to you, had enhanced strength and senses, but it was more than that. You had an ability that, if brought to the public, would probably land you in a government facility. Laying low had it's perks, your freedom was one of them.

You watch them begin to walk around your living room examining the artifacts of your new life, the one you crafted when everything fell apart. There wasn't anything in the living room to arouse suspicion that you were the original Indigo. The only remnants of your past life that remained were in a wooden trunk at the back of your walk in closet, hidden behind a collection of paint splattered overalls almost identical to the pair you were wearing right now.

"You've got a nice place." The younger guy says looking around.

"Thanks. It's rent controlled. I got lucky-" You fiddle with the coffeemaker to buy yourself some time.

Why were they here to ask me about Ben? It had been 40 years, hardly seems relevant now. And why were they pretending to be CIA?

"You're an artist?" Agent Butcher asks, staring at the canvas sitting on an easel by your desk. It was a collection of multicolored dark greens that swirled together, flecked with pieces of gold that shone in the brilliant sunlight from the wall of windows where your studio was.

"Yeah. And I tend to paint my best at night. Hence the coffee" You turn, placing your hands on the island to face the two men.

“You’re really good.” Agent Campbell says examining some of the canvases on the wall.

“Thanks.”

“So your mum eh?” Agent Butcher turns to look at you. You note the smirk on his face and incredulous raising of his brow.

He doesn't believe me. Hard not to. I don't age.

“Yes?” You raise an eyebrow to challenge him

“You look a lot like her.”

“Thanks. I think there’s a compliment in there somewhere.” You look from Butcher to the younger guy who has moved on to look at your vinyl collection. "And I'm pretty sure that most kids look like their parents. But I'm not a geneticist."

"NO WAY! You have a signed copy of Billy Joel's Glass House!" Agent Campbell shouts holding up the vinyl cover in awe.

"Yeah." You can't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

"How did you-“

"Hughie." Agent Butcher sighs.

The younger guy now identified as Hughie puts the record back with a frown, before turning back to the collection.

“But you have the same name.” Agent Butcher's eyes flit to yours.

“She named me after herself. I’m sure the CIA can locate my birth certificate."

“Right.” Agent Butcher smiles, but it’s tight lipped.

You stand there for another minute looking from Agent Butcher to Hughie, trying to think of why they're here. "So what do you want to know?”

“Well is your mum around-“

You allow your shoulders to droop and take in a shaky breath. "She died about a year ago. Cancer."

They weren't the first to come here and accuse you of being Indigo. Legend and you had come up with the farce to protect you, help you start over, but you hadn't wanted to part with your name. So other precautions were put in place: a funeral plot was purchased and a death certificate was issued as was a fake passport, I.D, and birth certificate that made you thirty two rather than over one hundred.

“Really? I thought Indigo-“ It’s enough to make Hughie turn around and look at you.

“Don’t read everything Vought says." You interrupt. "That experimental shit they put in her veins may have made her powerful, but it couldn’t protect her from that.” You sigh again to sell the lie, before turning to the coffee maker, to pour them and yourself a cup. "There should be some milk in there, sugar's in the bowl." You gesture to the refrigerator and the small blown glass sugar bowl on the counter next to the coffee maker.

Hughie moves into the kitchen to pour himself a cup, but Agent Butcher continues to eye you suspiciously.

“It wasn’t in the news.” He grunts.

“They covered it up pretty well. I mean do you blame them? One of the first supes gets killed by something like cancer. Can’t be good for Vought given they pride themselves on showcasing unstoppable heroes. I mean can you imagine if Homelander or Queen Maeve died of something like cancer? Doesn’t look good.” You shrug your shoulders and take a sip from the coffee in your hands. “What did you want to talk to her about?”

“Soldier Boy.” Butcher moves to the coffeemaker and it takes a strong amount of willpower to stop the urge to turn towards him, but you know that you need to act indifferent.

“Did she talk to you at all about him?” Hughie moves to one of the bar stools on the opposite side of the island with his coffee in front of him.

“Yeah.” You look down at the mug with a sigh, rolling the warm glass between your hands. “He really did a number on her. Plus towards the end she started seeing him everywhere."

The emotion that you summon is not fake. You allow a small amount to trickle over the dam you built to protect yourself from falling back into the pit you fell into when Ben broke your heart and then died. When you broke every piece of glass in your apartment and threw your couch through the wall.

“I’m so sorry for your loss.” Hughie looks sincere when he says it.

Why is someone like him hanging out with this guy? You think to yourself eyeing Agent Butcher again.

“It’s been hard. But I took care of her, sometimes it was only me. It’s kind of hard to restrain an 103 year old with super strength.” You smile to yourself at the joke.

“So you’re a supe?” Hughie takes a sip from his coffee mug.

“No I was just able to talk her down. Guess that first batch of Compound V doesn’t work the same way. Never transferred. Plus my dad wasn’t a supe so maybe it just diluted.” You shrug, the lies weaving easily through the air.

“But she did talk to you about him?” Agent Butcher presses. He's leaning against the counter to your left.

“Yeah.”

“And?”

“I mean what do you want to hear? There’s a lot.” The mug sends a pleasant warmth through your hands as you hold it, but does little to stop the chill of the past from creeping up your spine.

“Start at the beginning.”

“Well.” You take another sip of coffee. “I don’t know details-details but- I just know that she grew up with him, they were from the same neighborhood in Philadelphia. All that shit they made up about Soldier Boy being from a poor family was just propaganda. His dad owned half the steel mills in the state of Pennsylvania. Used to invest in property with my grandfather. Soldier Boy and my mom were friends. When he got the Compound V shot, she did too. They were looking for female and male volunteers. I think he asked her to? Or-“ You shrug your shoulders to push away the memory of the day Ben told you about the experiments. When he told you he was finally going to make something of himself and convinced you to go with him.

“They were dating?” Agent Butcher asks.

The question makes you pause. It was difficult to think about that, difficult to relive the memories of Ben continuing to push you away and his final refusal to admit he loved you. Ben never did say that to you. You had been through so much together, so many years as friends and then after the night you finally were together he threw you away like you meant nothing.

“No, but he really hurt her-“ You avoid their gaze.

“What did he do?” Hughie asks leaning forward on the counter.

“They had been through a lot together and I think when their friendship began to transfer to relationship he pushed her away. My mother said something about him refusing to admit he loved her. I think the last straw when she caught him with Countess.”

“Do you know anything about how he died?”

The memory of the phone call strikes you in the chest, when Stan Edgar himself called to tell you Ben was dead. When the darkness swallowed you whole and all you felt was guilt and heart break over the fight you had and how you left him alone when he needed you most.

“It hurt my mother a lot. Broke her. She never really got over him, no one was good enough, not even my dad. She drove him away too and then it was just us.”

“Was she there when Soldier Boy died?” Hughie spins the coffee mug in his hands.

“No. She left Payback before that mission. It was right after she caught Countess and him together.” You force a shrug. “I think she regretted not being there. She was almost as indestructible as him, but I think she felt worse because they had a big fight right before.”

“So she didn’t know about Nicaragua or the thing that killed him?” Agent Butcher raises an eyebrow.

You cock your head to the side feigning confusion. “What are you talking about? Soldier Boy got vaporized in a nuclear explosion.”

“Well I think we’ve wasted enough of your time.”

They get up to leave.

“Wait-“

Agent Butcher turns to look at you.

“Why are you asking me about him? It's been what? Forty years since he died-"

"That's classified love. Thank you for your time."

You watch them leave, but listen to them as they walk down the hallway.

“So do you believe her?” Hughie’s voice echoes in your ears.

“Not a bit. Maybe we trail her for a day. See if she really is an artist." Agent Butcher grunts. "At least until we go to Russia."

Russia? Why would they go to Russia?

You stand there for a second, holding the coffee mug in your hands. As you do the memories of the past 90 years wash across your mind, breaking through the damn that you built to protect yourself.

You were friends for years. You loved him since the moment you met. There were good times before the serum and then the bad, when he got famous and you were there to keep him in check. Sure you may have annoyed him, but he liked that about you, that you were able to bring him back from the edge. The day you finally had sex you remembered it, it was special, or you thought it was. You were excited that finally he loved you as much as you loved him. But then it all fell apart. That fight hadn’t been pretty. When you left him you felt yourself begin to slip, you didn’t eat or drink for days and when you finally got the phone call you thought it was him trying to apologize, but it was Stan.

You think again about Russia and finally your mind drifts to Countess.

She was the one that said that the Russians killed Ben, she saw it happen, saw his body get taken away-

Your jaw clenches together in anger and frustration as you remember the last time you saw her, when she taunted you and you almost ripped off her head. You never heard it directly from her that Ben was dead, only heard it from Stan. Of course the ridiculous funeral for Ben that you were expected to go to would mean that you saw her, but you hadn't gone, didn't want to keep up the charade. Instead you went to Philadelphia and walked the streets aimlessly with a bottle of whiskey in your hand, remembering what it was like when you were kids. Sometimes you think it all would have been different if you never got the injection, if you said no when he showed up in your bedroom and asked you to come with him. He was your oldest friend. The only real person you'd ever loved or cared about. The memory of the fight rings in your ears but you push it down.

You think again about Countess. She was the reason why Ben and you had the fight. The reason you weren't there in Nicaragua. Regret spikes in your chest. You should have been there that day, should have tried to save him. You always had each others backs and the one time you weren't there he died.

Maybe it was time to pay her a visit.

Animal of the Day!

Franklin’s Bumblebee (Bombus franklini)

(Photo from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)

Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Southern Oregon; Northern California

Size (Weight/Length)- 15 mm

Diet- Flower nectar

Cool Facts- The Franklin’s bumblebee has the smallest range of any bee species of only a 310 by 110 square kilometer area in Oregon and California. These bumblebees are an important pollinator of the various wildflowers of the area including California poppies and lupine. Sadly, these bees have not been officially spotted since 2006 but hope remains that hives exist in the Sierra-Cascade mountains. In 2019, a monumental decision to add four species of bumblebees, including the Franklin’s bumblebee, to the Endangered Species Act was decided upon. Various search parties are deployed every year with the hopes of finding these bees, but so far none have been successful.

Rating- 11/10 (One of the many examples of a protection enacted too late.)

Yesterday, my friends keep on asking me who’s the actual leader of Panem in my TBOSAS Crack!AU. So of course, as an equally crazy friend, I answered.

According to Felix Ravinstill in this short take, the real rulers of Panem are:

1. President Ravinstill’s 2 dozen Bichon Frisé puppies. And yes, you heard me. 2 dozen of these little crusty doggos are the “real” leaders of Panem. No wonder the country is (literally) going to the dogs.

2. Mayor Boa Bell the Cat. Honestly, Pluribus Bell’s beloved cat won the election fair and square because the other candidates were Monster Mama Cardew (who is married to the IRS) and creepy Mr. Heavensbee Sr. (who has officially received 77+ restraining orders from the Ravinstill Supreme Court).🤣

PS: In this Crack!AU, only a Capitol Noble with Ravinstill ancestry can become the President of Panem. However, the funny thing is that every single Capitol Noble (and I mean everyone except the Plinths) are actually related to one another and are in fact family by blood. So yes, Hilarius, Coryo, Festus, Lizzie, Percy, Livia, Palmyra, Andie, and the rest of the Mentors (except for Sejanus) are all ✨COUSINS✨.

This happened because a certain crazy Ravinstill (great great grandfather Augustus Tiberius Vipsanius Cornelius Antonius Felix Ravinstill) married off 2 dozen of his beautiful daughters to every available ✨Ancient & Noble Capitol House✨ in existence. So everyone in Coryo’s circle of friends and neighbors (except for the Plinths) are all related through the ✨Ravinstill Royal Bloodline✨. And yes, they all carry the “crazy” gene because of that.😅

Heck. The House of Snow, House Cardew, House Monty, and House Heavensbee of the Queen Bee have so much “crazy” Ravinstill blood in their veins, they can’t even pass a simple mental health test without having to pay someone under the table for them to be perceived as “normal” functioning human beings.🥲

And even poor Class President Felix Ravinstill has trouble remembering all of his 100+ cousins and shady relatives every time he sees them attending another one of his Gran Gran’s family gatherings.

At least Rich Boy Sejanus Plinth will be the only President of Panem who is fortunately not related to a crazy Ravinstill. However, that doesn’t even matter because his and Coryo’s 24 gorgeous SnowPlinth children will have the Ravinstill blood running through their veins anyway. The “crazy” gene included.

And when we get to Katniss and Peeta’s timeline, everyone in the Capitol (and I mean everyone even the Plinths) are all part of one crazy family lineage. They will all be cousins (whether they like it or not) because of the famous/infamous ✨Ravinstill+Snow+Plinth Royal Union✨. Even Effie Trinket is part Ravinstill now.

Lol. I’m so gonna get a lot of flak for doing this, but who cares! I’ll give our favorite crazy meddling Mentors the weirdest family tree in Panem! Even the incestuous Targaryens of Westeros will be jealous of House Ravinstill and its ever expanding never ending crazy family bloodlines.

But we all know that this is all part of evil Strabo Plinth and the Grandma’am’s genius plan to rule Panem forever through the ✨Snowjanus Union✨.😌💅

*cracks knuckles* Get ready for a long ask As an animator/artist myself, I have a lot to say about the character designs. I'm sure you've heard this before, but these characters are not animation friendly. More detail just makes it harder to animate. (While Bee is a notorious example, nearly all of the characters suffer from this) When designing a character for animation, you need to pick and choose the key parts of their design, because you're going to be drawing the same thing over and over. Another thing: The characters have so much freaking red to them. I won't dwell on this for long, but they don't stand out from the background because there's so much freaking red (Another thing that bugs me is that the characters don't look like what the artist wanted them to be like) Ex: Charlie doesn't look like a doll Vaggie barely has a moth resemblance Angel Dust doesn't look like a spider Alastor doesn't look like a deer Niffty doesn't look like a bug or B-movie styled aliens Ozzie doesn't look like a rooster Beelzebub doesn't look like an animal trainer (you would think with all the suits and shit she likes to use, an animal trainer's outfit would be perfect for this)

Another thing: Her characters reuse the same design tropes. Bow ties, suits, fingerless gloves, gold tooth, stick thin figure, top hat, etc I'd excuse it if this was a beginner artist (heck, I used to do this, but eventually learned and grew out of it) but this is a woman in her 30's who graduated art school. TL;DR The designs are bad and hard as heck to animate

Couldn't have said it better myself

I feel like, when Viv sits down to design a new character, her personal preferences come first and everything they're actually supposed to represent second. Sort of tacked onto the final product like "yeah sure that'll do it"

As for the details, if I may add on: not long ago I've studied screencaps of a character from Helluva for redesign purposes. The amount of inconsistencies I came across was surprising! I'm pretty sure he didn't even have an official ref sheet (nor has one been posted to date), but I've heard that even for more prevalent characters the animators only have the most basic turnarounds? Also stuff like Millie's hair and spots tend to be inconsistent. With so much gratuitous/weird detail and apparently lack of proper reference, consistency suffers

Everyone is also very spiky and full of triangles; I'd love a more soft or even square character. Also some different body types... I mean, remember Mimzy from Hazbin? I don't know if Viv does. I wonder if she's still gonna appear at some point. But anyway

On a more positive note, there's a lot of background character designs that I find really cool & enjoyable! Maybe I'll make an appreciation post for them sometime

#confession #you know what also bugs me? somewhat less prevalent than the bow tie. and relatively harmless. but #c h o k e r s #a lot of characters have them. Millie. Loona. Verosika. Angel Dust. Vaggie. Crimini (pretty sure she was retconned but still)#and they're just there... because. no particular reason for it #(except for Loona I suppose. bc spiky dog collar)#it annoyed me because I was gonna give said redesign a choker to symbolize something. but then it felt redundant #also remember when they gave us a green environment for most of the episode where the imps stood out for a change #and then a new character with a wholly green design. and his ass was completely camouflaged for a significant number of scenes #it was almost funny #(but man I sure did NOT enjoy that episode)#helluva boss critical #hazbin hotel critical #helluva critical #hazbin critical #OOPS HAHA FORGOT TO ADD THE TAGS I am silly

i was wondering if you can please do a cher from clueless style inspo

Of course!! I love Cher, and clueless is one of my favourite movies 💛🖤🤍💛💛🖤🤍

Cher Horowitz style guide

A style guide of Cher Horowitz from 'Clueless' 1995

Argyle

Starting off simple, we have argyle patterns. These give off a very mature look (she does wear the skirt to her drivers exam) and they remind me of autumn and back to school (in a good way).

she wears this pattern in skirts and sweaters.

I recommend pairing the brown jumper with a black mini skirt and casual loafers. For the skirt look, a button up top and Mary Janes, maybe throw a blazer on top for colder weather.

Headbands

These go perfectly with her 90s prep girl look. She wears them with her hair straight down

Tank Top over t shirt

Unlike the argyle print, I think that these are more of a juvenile look. That's not the say that they're childish, they're actually some of my favourite of her outfits, but they're definitely less mature than she usally dresses. She wears them for casual occasions and for sports.

Matching Sweater sets

We see her wearing these twice when she's at home, so I definitely think that they're one of her go-to lounge looks. Paired with either mom jeans or a pleated mini skirt

Dark Red Plaid

She wears plaid quite a few times throught the movie (we'll get to those looks later) but these red outfits have to be my favourite. She matches the mini skirt with a long collared shirt and a cropped vest, and the dress with a beret, a shirt and a matching jacket

Eyelet

Eyelet doesn't always agree with me (story for another day) but I think that it's so beautiful and summery and definitely a Beverly hills girl look. Cher wears eyelet in two different ways, 1.)shirt and jeans and 2.) a mini dress.

I recommend these

eyelet top

eyelet dress

Vests

Cher wears multiple different styles of vest throughout the movie. 1 and 3 are more her normal style, but 2 leans into her more innocent fashion and 4 is definitely a mature look.

red sweater vest

brown sweater vest

jean vest set

argyle vest

Swimwear

In the opening montage, we get to see this adorable bikini. This is the only piece of swimwear that we see Cher in, but these are just some random ones I think she'd like

1.)

2.)

3.)

4.)

5.)

90s girly girl meets vampire

This look is a lot darker than what Cher usually goes for. It definitely stands out the most when you look at it beside her other outfits

Get the look:

black sheer top

white tank top

black jeans

black boots

cross necklace

Full Blown Beverly Hills Princess

the outfit Cher wears while on a date with her perfect Prince charming (too bad she doesn't learn about the gay thing until after) really cements her status as the Queen bee of Beverly Hills.

dress no.1

dress no.2

Plaid Set

By far her most recognisable look in the entire movie. She wears two of these, both in yellow.

Where to buy: ASOS, New Look, Urban Outfitters, Zara and Bershka

Get the look

Hair

Cher has beautiful mid length blonde hair. She usually wears it down, pushed back with a headband or tied up with a scrunchie

How to achieve: we see her use roller sets, but my best bet is that she frequently got her hair blown out at the salon. Blowdryer brushes can also give off the same soft and silky look

Nails

Her nails are always freshly manicured, and she has a preference for French tip.

The verdict

Berets are a girls best friend

French tip nails

Pleated plaid skirts

Don't be afraid of blazers

Mary Jane heels

Matching sets

Mom jeans

Sweater vests don't have to make you look like you're in an episode of glee

Twin with your best friend

Knee high socks

Headbands

Bright colours and pastels

I hope you like it @xojasminexo31 !! 🩷🩷

HEY GUESS WHAT I CAN FINALLY SHARE

Official character art for the main characters from The Spider Prince Trilogy, brought to life by nikcandoart (twitter, instagram)

Following Author Wilshire, Edna Koch, and Eddie Karpinski as the three humans from Fairy Hill, Alberta, Canada make their way through faerie realms in search of curse cures, this story revolves around friendship, love, and making one’s own way.

CHAOS AND THE SPIDER PRINCE: When Author Wilshire’s oldest friend, Eddie, is attacked by the Wild Hunt and transformed into a spider, Author must travel to Lockswood to reconnect with an old friend and plead for the help of the Spider Prince. It might have worked, if only the Spider Prince weren’t cursed as well.

THE WITCH HAZEL TREE: Edna Koch has been cursed since birth to only speak in questions, which keeps her cut off from experiencing the full joy of her magic. When another witch offers to help her, she isn’t expecting being roped into faerie politics and an anxiety-inducing romance. Good thing she has friends in Author and Eddie, who will drop anything to come help her.

SPIDER SPIDER BEE: There’s a faerie in Eddie Karpinski’s room, and he’s claiming that they’re friends. With little memory of the faerie world, and none of the events that this strange faerie boy keeps describing, Eddie agrees to help search for a missing human girl, but does not agree to make it a smooth process. Even Edna’s insistence that everything is true doesn’t change Eddie’s mindset, but maybe more time amongst the fae and magic will.

The Spider Prince trilogy is available NOW!

[ID: A series of five images, depicting five different characters from the Spider Prince Trilogy. In order they are: Author Wilshire (a square jawed white woman with chesnut brown hair in pigtails and a yellow denim jacket, wearing gold earrings and bells in her hair), The Spider Prince (a faerie with skin the colour of spider silk, pointed ears, eight black eyes, and black hair, wearing a golden circlet and a brown capelet), Nuisance (a faerie with warn brown skin, pointed ears, black hair, and honey coloured eyes, wearing a black capelet and golden jewellery), Eddie Karpinski (a Black person with short black hair and gold wire-frame glasses, wearing bell earrings and a red flannel), and Edna Koch (a blonde and blue-eyed white woman with her hair in a braid crown, a white dress, and earrings shaped like autumn leaves). All drawings are from the shoulders up. END ID.]

Burrito^Squared: A [Debug Teaser] CYOA MariBat Vote Fic - Ch. 1

[ Author's Note: While I work on setting up the first chapter of the official MariBat Vote Fic, I decided, with the encouragement of the fandom on Discord, to test out how to work Polls into a written story on Tumblr. I chose what I endearingly call "The Bottom of the Barrel" to do this with! AKA, the lowest voted answers of the 4 Set-Up Polls. I hope you all enjoy what has been born from the ashes of Daminette's win <3 ]

Chapter 1 - A Hero's Game

Capture the flag. A simple game of two teams, two goals, and two lines of defense, each facing off against the other. The more members put into the offence, the weaker the deffence. The stronger the deffence, the less offence one could provide. But no mix of defence and offence could possibly hold against an all-out attack by a strategic mastermind with a one-track mind! Especially a hungry one on a time crunch who knows her flags have no offensive capabilities.

Batgirl sped through the streetlamp lit streets of Metropolis, every available computer system on her person and her scooter out, open, and running like some kind of crazed Pokemon Go player on a never ending hunt. Which wasn’t all that inaccurate of a description.

“Come on, come on, that last one has to be here somewhere!”

She fretted aloud as the wind whipped around her, eyes on her screens more than on the street ahead. It might have been a miracle that she hasn’t gotten into any accidents after all the time she has done this, or it could have simply been the skill of an obsessed teenager. She didn’t have time to figure that out, though.

The communicator on her wrist beeped and she held it up to her face like it was her last hope. “Bumblebee! Please please PLEASE tell me you found it!”

There was a pause, before a timid voice came through. “Well…Do you want the bad news first…?”

“Noooo-! Please, the Metropolis HackCon is tomorrow! I can’t lose this competition to that sad little puppy-eyed rich brat again!” She bemoaned. That Tim Drake kid may not have been as odl or as skilled as her, but he had more resources than Barbra Gordon originally had access to. That has since changed, but who knows what might have changed for him, too. She didn’t want to think about it.

“You know i’m not much of a hacker, Batgirl,” Bumblebee replied apologetically. “I do more of the mechanical aspects than the programming side of things. It’s why I had so much trouble with making my suit… Besides, what kind of convention sets up a competition that takes place before the actual event? How do they keep track of cheating, or maintain their servers, or- or- or ensure the safely of their participants!? Do you really have to be going all over the city just to find these Flags? It doesn’t seem right…”

“Oh psh, you worry too much, Bee! This Con is hosted by none other than Lex Luthor this year!” She revealed excitedly, getting a squawk from Bumblebee, who couldnt comprehend how her friend was excited about something held by a suspected Supervillain. “They say the top prize gets a college scholarship and guaranteed internship upon graduation! I’ve been trying to win that myself for years now- Darn Drake kid keeps mocking me by donating the scholarship to the second and third placers.”

“Wait, so you don’t actually need-?”

“It’s the principle of it, Bumblebee! The principle!” Batgirl declared loudly, before ending the communication.

“Batgirl…? Batgirl? Oh, she hug up. But, I didnt even get to tell her the good news…”

Soon enough, Batgirl reached her limit and ended her hunt for the last Flag. Stashing her scooter in a narrow and dark alley, she grappled up to a highrise rooftop and flopped down, defeated and feeling like a dried up starfish.

“What kind of Capture the Flag game is also this much of a Treasure Hunt??” She groaned. “It used to just be held at the HackCon, sitting at computers and digging through the servers of the Convention Center an connected Hotels! How did that Luthor guy get so many businesses around Metropilis to participate like this…? Ugh, I don’t care! I wish he would at least give us hints!”

A few moments passed, as Batgirl grumbled to herself, complaining and going over what she knew so far so she could try to find a lead hidden within her own brain.

Then the crunch of rooftop gravel had her looking up, or as relatively up as she can while laying flat on her back. A head of blond hair looms just behind her, a familiar bucket of food obscuring the face. “Tough time?” a sympathetic voice asked.

for the february event

super random kisses 🕶️

square modified brilliant, by @alexseanchai

AO3 link; post reveal, post hawkmoth defeat, wedding fic

Summary

A year after Monarque's defeat, Ladybug and Chat Noir are getting married. (Nobody mention the part where they're not yet old enough to get married.)

---

"I will always do anything in my power to help the two of you. All of Paris will." Mayor Bourgeois does not look nearly as confident in this assertion as he sounds. "But the law requires public notice, under your legal names and in advance, for a reason."

"Super," mutters Chat Noir.

"We would never dream of suggesting you break the law," Ladybug says, without a hitch in the dexterity practice game of cat's-cradle she's playing with her yo-yo cord. Chat Noir, who kind of was suggesting exactly that, says nothing. Ladybug continues, "We're just hoping you will say some things that are true. Like, it is true that almost everyone who has ever gotten, or will ever get, married at this city hall is not a superhero. It is true that superheroes are only celebrities when we're wearing the masks, and when we're not, we're just ordinary citizens."

"Certain exceptions apply," Chat Noir says. "President of the United States Camilla Hombee, alias Victory, for example." To say nothing of Chloé Bourgeois, alias Queen Bee. And definitely to say nothing that might give away Chat Noir's identity if Chloé's father doesn't already know, just in case he doesn't already know.

"Which is a choice President Hombee made for herself," Ladybug agrees. "With the consent of her family, especially her spouse and her minor children, who are after all the first people an enemy might target if they wanted to emotionally compromise her. But as I was saying: as far as you know, it is true that when we get married, we will be following all relevant laws. Yes, we know it's illegal to have a religious wedding ceremony before the legal ceremony, but unless you're planning on tracking down the girl I play-married in the park when we were six and arresting both of us over it, you're going to need more than just 'we said we're married now' to say we're breaking the law."

"As far as you know," Chat Noir adds, grinning, " 'when Ladybug was six' could mean anytime from 2000 to 2006. For all you know, you officiated at our wedding a year and a half ago. I could say I remember exactly that and it wouldn't be a lie."

Ladybug rolls her eyes. "It is true that going through back records of posted banns to figure out which couple is us would be an invasion of a lot of random people's privacy, which you ought to remind everyone of if anything makes it relevant. It is also true that we have no plans to lie about any of this, and saying we remember something happened would be weird enough phrasing if we knew it happened. Since we know it didn't happen, it's too close to a lie."

Chat Noir turns away and starts licking his gauntlet, radiating sulkiness. He wasn't really going to say that anyway.

"…One of you is younger than Chloé," Mayor Bourgeois says, in the slow tones of someone coming to a realization. (Chloé turns eighteen next week.) "It is possible that not one of Paris's superheroes became one as an adult. You are asking the city of Paris to protect your secret identities by implying you are older than you are."

Ladybug and Chat Noir exchange glances.

"We're also asking the city of Paris to hold off on the anniversary celebration of Monarque's defeat until the anniversary of knowing we were both going to survive defeating him," Ladybug says. "But yes. That's it exactly."

---

Marinette elbows the door open and holds it for Adrien, then keeps pace with him as they head for the Métro. He's not exactly ready to go back to rock climbing or parkour, but he'll definitely bet on himself in a 5K race against, uh, anyone whose personal best is over an hour forty-five.

"Just think," Adrien murmurs, "we didn't even have to play the 'teenage parenthood' card."

"Isn't it hot out?" Marinette says in a rush, face redder than the warmth of a mid-June afternoon can explain. "I didn't think it was supposed to be this hot out."

"Now you mention it," Adrien says faux-thoughtfully, "I could take off a layer or two…"

Marinette makes a teakettle whistling noise and pulls a sun hat out of her bag of holding just to hide her face in. Plagg's cackling laughter doesn't quite drown out Tikki's giggles.

---

[image: An oddly familiar young woman with black pigtails, wearing a pink raffia sun hat, mirrored sunglasses, pink capris, white gloves, and a white T-shirt depicting a red and black hydrogen atom that says "think like a proton: stay positive!", and an oddly familiar young man with ruffled blond hair, wearing a black raffia sun hat, mirrored sunglasses, blue jeans, black gloves, and a black T-shirt depicting bare hands pouring from flasks of lime-green liquid that says "forget lab safety, I want super powers". They're sitting together on a bench on the Pont des Arts and grinning at the photographer, with all their hands stacked on his cane in a pose that shows off jewelry on their left hands: she has a rose gold wristwatch and he has a rose gold ring with a princess cut diamond.]

alya.ladyblogger: Yes, this is exactly the announcement you think it is!

---

[image: A little black cat plush with a gold collar bell and a black top hat with one red rose; a little ladybug plush with a crown of red and white roses; a pair of stud earrings with green gemstones arranged in heart shapes; a golden wirework lapel pin shaped like a cocktail glass containing two red dice with black pips; two pieces of lilac cardstock with gold text, arranged so that the only text visible on one reads "13 juillet 2018", and on the other, "vin d'honneur sur le Champ de Mars".]

alya.ladyblogger: I am told I'm to remind you that though dethroning Monarque was 21 June 2017, the thing worth celebrating the anniversary of was mid-July. The tragic part is I think they think they're being subtle.

---

[video: A toddler belonging to a favorite Fromagerie Trèfle Violet customer claps and dances along as another customer sings, "One thousand oranges two thousand plums, Windemere Vladimir Carl Alexander, raspberry blueberry strawberry gooseberry François Reginald Lancelot Herman son of Her Majesty Queen Constantina chocolate cheddar and Charlotte and Maisie son of his camembert King Maximilian—"]

fromagerie_trefle_violet: Catering the Ladynoir wedding celebration is getting intense enough even the little kids have noticed. A cappella by Luka Couffaine of @kittysection!

---

[image: A map of the restaurants, bistros, cafés, bakeries, crémeries, food trucks, and other participating food service locations in Paris.]

tomsabineboulangeriepatisserie: We're proud to be among the Parisian locations offering a special food item from the Sunday before Ladybug and Chat Noir's wedding through Bastille Day, with a portion of proceeds to be donated to the super causes funded by Ladybugs In Flight Foundation. Ours will be paired dark chocolate macarons: strawberry and wintergreen!

pink_silk_meteor_hammer: We won't have time to drop in everywhere, so we'll be stopping by a random selection over the course of the week. But we're not putting T&S in the randomizer, because my kitty and I absolutely have to try those macarons!

---

[image: Ladybug and Chat Noir. Paris's prince is draping himself over Ladybug's shoulders in a way that simply isn't possible if this black metallic material is any sort of metal; it would work with his old leather catsuit, but his wedding look bears more resemblance to full plate armor. Our Lady herself has, for the happy occasion, traded her practical outfits for what looks like a red silk gown with a sweetheart neckline and an A-line silhouette, speckled with black roses in full bloom outlined in gold, and a red capelet with mandarin collar, similarly embroidered; black opera gloves, black boots with wedge soles, and a black modesty panel mean she remains covered from neck to toe.]

marinettedesigned: I asked what their wedding outfits were made of, and she said "husband material". Photoshoot promptly derailed. Not shown: about eighteen kisses.

---

[video: Time lapse recorded on the roof of Le Grand Paris, compressing thirty minutes into thirty seconds. The city goes from full sun to full thunderstorm to full sun.]

theofficialchloebourgeois: Rain on your wedding day when you have the Dragon Miraculous. Who would have thought? It figures. I hope there's real rain when my brother gets married; he's having his engagement party in Restaurant du Grand Paris today!

---

"We aren't having a wedding Mass," Marinette tells her grandfather patiently. "Adrien hasn't been to Mass since his mother died. I'm not sure I've ever even set foot inside a church."

"Yes you have," Adrien says, setting two champagne glasses mostly full of sparkling orange juice by Marinette's elbow. "I remember thinking it was funny we had to hide in a church on Ash Wednesday from Monsieur Pigeon episode thirty-three when Jesus died at age thirty-three."

Marinette snorts. "Was that one of the times you got hit hard enough you were contemplating your own mortality? Never mind, I don't want to know."

Grandpa Dupain makes a face like he also regrets asking.

"Anyway, we don't need a church for the part where we say, 'I, Marinette, take you, Adrien, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health'—"

"In calm times and in times the entire city's celebrating like mad," Adrien interjects.

Marinette laughs. "When it's magical and when it's mundane, 'I will love you and honor you all the days of my life.' "

Adrien nuzzles the side of her neck. " 'I, Adrien, take you, Marinette, for my play-pretend wife until we do the actual legal part at which point I will take you for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in'—"

Boom.

The orange juice glasses go flying. Marinette glances frantically around—everyone she expects to see is present and nobody looks akumatized—

Boom.

…Oh. Right. Her wristwatch says 22h30. She was supposed to be bracing for that.

" 'In sickness and in health,' " Adrien continues, wrapping both arms around her and pulling her gently down to where she just knocked him to the floor, "even when she forgets about the scheduled fireworks display and the anniversary of no more akumas, to love, honor, and cherish all the days of my life."

"Cheers," mumbles Marinette, ignoring the sticky spots for the moment (and certain he's ignoring a leg cramp for the moment) in favor of scooting up to where she can press kisses to his pulse point and cheek and the scar beside his eye.

I’M BACK EVERYONE!

Hello everyone! It’s me, Muggle-Born-Princess and I just wanna say that I’m officially back from my 1 month hiatus!

It honestly feels really great to be back on here. I know I have a lot to take care from answering questions in my inbox to writing my Chloe and Zoe AUs on @pro-bee-sisters to posting more content on my art and writing blog.

Speaking of content, I do wanna point something out: I’m really sorry to say this, but after Season 5 of Miraculous and the Awakening movie, I am officially gonna be done with the show for good. I’m really sorry to those who only followed me for Miraculous content only, but it’s the truth. After hearing about how the season has been so far with multiple retcons, terrible writing choices, and character flanderization 24/7, I think it’s about time I say goodbye to the show.

But,

That’s not gonna happen anytime soon! 😊

Yep, even though I will be closing the book on Miraculous, I won’t do it immediately for the following reasons:

1. I will be rewatching the whole series before I start S5 as a whole just to see what aged poorly or what still holds up. (I think we all know the answers to those both. 🙄)

2. Once I start Season 5, I plan to do some multiple rewrites and AUs for it. Mainly for my second arc for The Lost Miraculous, despite that being in progress still.

3. Speaking of rewrites and AUs, that’s the other thing I wanna do before I leave the show for good. I especially wanna do my AUs involving Chloe and Zoe (i.e. The Queen Bee and the Vesperia & The Bee Sisters Duo!); some Chlonette in there because they’re my now my OTP (i.e. Bug & Wasp Game); and some other characters that deserve focus and potential too (i.e. A Fox and Her Club which features Lila and Sabrina as a duo; Pink and Purple Love Square which involves a Love Square between Rose/Pigella and Juleka/Purple Tigress)

4. I am super excited for the Awakening movie! The trailer and animation look so promising and since Astruc himself will not be apart of it whatsoever, it gives me hope that maybe the show will get back on its feet and if not, then we can officially call the movie the new canon if it’s any good!

I also do wanna point out that I also wanna focus on other fandoms I’m a part of and do more work for them. (i.e. Super Mario, Total Drama, Monster High, etc...) That’s why I also have my art and writing blogs, so I can focus more on those than Miraculous. Don’t get me wrong, I will still do fanwork for Miraculous, but I also wanna expand myself to other interests just to see if anyone else is interested.

Now that brings me up to this:

Will I stop following MLB-related blogs?

Well, that depends. I do have a lot of Miraculous-related blogs I adore (@immaturityofthomasastruc; @miraculousbeezcentral; @emdoddles; and @a-chlolix-blog being my Top 4), but here’s the deal: If they’re still active, then I will still follow them just for their content. However, if they end up retiring from the show just like me, then I don’t see the point of still following them.

It’s been a really long run being a part of the Miraculous fandom, but I think it’s about time I say goodbye to it. It had a very long run for about 8 and a half years with 5 seasons, 124 episodes, 2 specials, an upcoming movie, and more to come. I say it did good for what it became.

Which leads me to my final question:

What’s gonna happen to me now that I will be done with Miraculous?

Well obviously, I still will make fan content for it and sometimes, you will see me with a Miraculous avatar on here to dA to AO3. But, as I said, I will not only focus on other fandoms and expand them even more with their own fan content, but I will also be making a poll asking my followers what’s the next magical girl series I should explore next.

As much as I had my problems with Miraculous itself, I will admit that it did give me a new outlook on the magical girl genre in general, and it made me really happy to see that I can learn to understand what the genre is all about, and what made it so popular to begin with.

All in all, while I will miss those who I befriended in this fandom, I need to move on and find out what other new things that are out there that I will like~

Thank you all so much for reading. Please don’t forget to follow me on my other 3 blogs:

@princessgemsart (Art Blog)

@pro-bee-sisters (Miraculous/Chloe Bourgeois & Zoe Lee-dedicated blog)

@pens-and-gems (Writing Blog)

And remember, you can find me on these other websites on my Link.tree (PLEASE REMEMBER TO BE 18 OR OLDER FOR THOSE THAT SAY 18+)

Thank you all so much for reading and understanding!

Hope you all take care!

UPDATE:

The poll for the Magical Girl shows has been posted! Please remember to vote!

Rise of the Beasts is almost here, and the movie is getting pretty glowing early reviews similar to Bumblebee showing signs we have good talent behind it again. The toys however seem to be sitting on shelves mostly, though that might be due to price primarily as I have seen evidence of people looking at the toys and buying some. I’ve had an eye on the two pack Spark Armor style toys and two pack Autobot/Maximal/Terrorcon with animal weapons, but those are the most expensive toys of interest and not in my price range atm. One older collector I bumped into bought most of the Beast weapon toys so he could display them in Beast Mode and Gun Mode. So there is at least some demand for the toys.

I do have some quibbles due to recent interviews. Ol’ Lorenzo keeps insisting the film doesn’t break canon and is part of the Bay films, but the director and early audiences have all pointed to the film being treated as a reboot but still having nods to the older movies, like most franchise stuff are want to do. Lorenzo won’t let it go, but as far as I’m concerned, Beasts is part of a reboot era, and unless Paramount finds a way to shove the square peg into the Star shaped hole, I’m disregarding anything Lorenzo says. And it appears other officials are doing the same, as it has been officially declared RotB is a reboot, with a new trailer also calling the movie the start of a new era to solidify the deal further.

Steven on the other hand seems interested in seeing more movies that utilize other planets and other kinds of Transformers since they spend too much time on Earth. As much as I’d be open to fiddling with this, I’m not sure if they’ll actually do that. At best you get Nebulous, since it’s populated by human like beings, and you get more Scorponok for whoever keeps putting Scorponok in the films. I’m not sure how a Velocitron movie would work, is it Fast & Furious with the villains being the Stunticons? In any event, for context and mild spoilers, a post credits scene involves GI Joe recruiting Noah. If I had to guess, besides the usual Joe/Autobot team up, if this gets properly followed through, the Joes are likely meant to be NEST in this universe. Not sure atm what this means for Sector 7, which exists still via the Bee movie. Perhaps GI Joe is an extension of S7, as the Joe rep talking to Noah is fully aware of the Transformers. It’s worth mentioning it was recently revealed a Transformers and GI Joe crossover movie is in development, so the scene with Noah is clearly meant to build towards this. I suspect this may be how we get Megatron as well, with Cobra, like in past comic adaptions, discovering the stasis locked Megatron and seeking to utilize him as a weapon, also potentially explaining his inevitable (HISS?) tank mode, unless they decide to make Megs a helicopter like his Animated and EarthSpark selves. In any event, it doesn’t seem like Hasbro wants the Autobots to leave Earth any time soon, and it might depend on if the Transwarp Keys survive intact if they CAN get off world on the future.

Steven’s similar interest in wanting to show threats beyond the Decepticons feeds into my earlier concerns Hasbro doesn’t seem to want to use the Decepticons as major villains anymore. I mean let’s be honest, we all thought a possible Bee 2 was going to involve more Decepticons on a larger scale having picked up Shatter’s transmission because Soundwave detected it, none of us expected Terrorcons or Maximals. It makes me wonder if Horrorcons will be in the sequel: guys like Apeface and Snapdragon would lend themselves well as Unicron agents. With Unicron, at least at the moment, intended to be the trilogy’s main antagonist, I don’t really see any other evil Transformers beyond the Terrorcons right now anyway. Even Beast Machines felt it was less complicated not to involve Predacons so the Vehicons could shine as the main enemy. That being said, when there’s Maximals, usually there’s Predacons, so the Preds might have a shot at becoming antagonists. It’s not clear who else survived Unicron eating the Maximal planet, but they clearly had better luck than the Lithones did. Megatron’s Predacons surviving seems like a safe bet going by advertisements that feature reliefs of Terrorsaur, BlackArachnia, Waspinator and the like. That said, Scorponok was part of it, but he appears to be allied with the Terrorcons and is a mass produced drone despite being labeled a Predacon in toys, so… -big shrugs- I could see Megatron’s goal being similar to RiD Steeljaw in that he wants to create a Predacon homeworld and chooses Earth for his purposes, intending to wipe out all humans, Autobots and of course Optimus Primal to claim his prize. I’m sure they’ll eventually bring in Decepticons later on, but the fact we abruptly jump from the Great War to whatever the deal is with Terrorcons doesn’t inspire confidence there. I do hope though that since we have Scourge, the next leader of the Terrorcons is Cyclonus. Still has the Acolyte of Unicron mask, but he is helicopter patterned after Armada Cyclonus, lol. I mean if this Scourge is a homage to RiD Scourge, I don’t see why we can’t get this.

The Ultimate Guide To Minecraft

So 3D printing providers like Kraftwurx, shapeways, or sculpteo will create your Minecraft creations! First off, what is 3D printing? First official video sport available to the masses was a Pong sport - that was in 70's. Nevertheless the game industry started actual growth in center 80's and 90's - the age of publishing Windows and disseminating personal computer systems (Laptop briefly).

Not each archery range will enable so that you can shoot a crossbow, however I believe that the proprietor noticed the pleasure in Jeremy's eyes, and determined that he would let it go this one time. Although there is not a Dark Knight sequel slated for 2014, the animated, squarish and arrogant model of the all-time favorite masked superhero in the Lego Movie is one heck of a memorable and character.

A brand new X- Males film is sure to be shown this 12 months, and as one of the more well-liked mutants, Wolverine will definitely be one of many picks come costume season. So expect extra little boys to pretend they can crawl on partitions after the movie is shown.

Robocop costumes for boys justify our tendency to impersonate robots and make robotic movements, plus it feeds the satisfaction of mother and father who watched the early Robocop movies that have been shown a few years in the past. And even when Steve, the default character, has a sq. head and dons however a shirt and trousers, boys adore him. Youngsters don't thoughts being 'square' nowadays, so long as it's part of the superhero costume. A brand new-generation Robocop was seen in theaters very not too long ago so youngsters will most certainly want to put on the costume fairly soon. If somebody dresses up as Optimus Prime, another boy will certainly put on a Bumble Bee costume. If you are a Minecraft lover, you then will certainly want to enjoy the perfect recreation doable. This pc file will then be despatched to a 3D printer, the place the clever computer on the printer will acknowledge the dimensions. By the time tons of of layers have come down, a product can be created! Some may instantly come near and catch you, warningly.

Hi, sorry it took me so long to respond--RL always gets in the way! Traditionally here we start decorating the house for Christmas from December 8, which is actually a holiday. It is also the day when the city's illuminations and Christmas trees are officially lit in the city. Then living in Rome there is also the tree in St. Peter's Square which is always beautiful and under which the nativity scene is set up, this year it is a grotto, but I haven't been able to see it yet. In Naples, there is a whole street dedicated to the nativity statues. And every year they invent new characters along with the traditional ones. Then I will also tell you about all the traditions specific to my family! My favorite bands/singers are those ranging from 70s to 90s rock, apart from my beloved PF, I'm crazy about Queen. I have a bit of all music formats and have started collecting CDs and vinyl (PF only at the moment).

ps: interesting this cookie thing…do you have any recipes to share? ;)

So I promised a background/minor character design appreciation post...

(Part one because this will likely get long)

Starting with the imps, due to the order in which characters of different species are presented on the wiki

Ah, Pringles. Of course. What a guy. He is very shaped. (Especially the hair and collar. I happen to be a sucker for male characters with that kinda "cat fluff" hairstyle.) Love the weird little cuff on his tail, it's so unnecessary but it fits. Dapper boy. Gotta love him

(As far as I can recall he gets bitches in Ozzie's, which, like, good for him!)

There's this kiddo from Loo Loo Land. I like her shapes as well, very exaggerated. As depicted here she kind of reminds me of some concept art girlies from the Art of Encanto book.

Actually, I think I have an image...

...I'm not the only one who sees it, right?

(Anyway, it's still available for free to view online. Very interesting stuff.)

Ahh... this guy. Or gal, actually. Turns out this is Skye Henwood's impsona, as well as my favorite character in Western Energy. Me and my friend were deadass ready to adopt her on sight. So tiny!! So shaped!! Look at that ridiculously huge bowtie. The littol suit. I want a pocket-sized imp now. Would carry them everywhere in my purse. Speaking of...

That's exactly what she did! Another crewsona (Sam Miller), and this design is incredibly slay. The feathers. The tail. Big, flowy, swooping shapes. (Not a big fan of the hands, though.) Very majestic creature overall.

Moving on to a few background Wrathians from Harvest Moon. She's a cutie. Not much else to be said. I like her outfit with the little boots and gloves as well as her pigtails.

I think these two could be related.

She looks so silly, I love her. Her hat and horns are disproportionately huge and it's precious.

Her name is Square, and she has major resting bitch face energy. I appreciate her instantly. (Long sleeved shirt + short shorts is a good combo.)

This guy from the Ozzie's elevator scene (Aspen) looks like he'd have quite the story to tell over a couple drinks of hard liquor. Slutty, but in a tired way. (A certain saxophonist cat from another piece of online media also fits that description.)

HER!! I love her so much. Everything about her honestly. The colors!! The legs!! The underbite!! She has no official name, but I call her Pomegranate. Or Pom for short. Got some of my own lore for her and everything.

Haven't watched Queen Bee, so I didn't get to see Dennis in action, but from this still alone I conclude that he's pretty cute. (However dude could use to pull up his pants.) Didn't really deserve to get yelled at, anyhow. Justice for Dennis!

Though I do have an old Dennis character, and he's a dick, so maybe Blitzo was on to something.

I like the girlie on the right too. Women with :3 smiles automatically win me over. The ripped pants and loose tank top go well together, and the splotch of magenta on the waist isn't obnoxious.

Mamma Mia, an imp with not purely and overwhelmingly red skin? What a spectacle. She looks way more like a black character than Velvette. And due to her subdued skin tone, the pink looks nice on her. (Which can't be said for Millie in one of the pieces of summer merch. Who thought pink on her was a good idea?!) Cool hair texture as well, feels very poofy.

Some bite-sized imp clowns from The Circus; their names are Eenie, Meenie, and Miney. How charming! Though, as I recall, doesn't that old children's rhyme go on to have four-

...Oh.

I think this might be Barbie Wire. We were never told explicitly, and she isn't even mentioned in the episode itself, but she looks closest to that design.

(Though I just noticed her horn stripes are too thick. Nevermind, then. Seems like she didn't even get that brief cameo in Blitzo's nearly episode-long childhood flashback despite being his twin sister, which should suggest that they were pretty close.)

I like this chick, though.

And that's it for now! Let me know if you'd like to see a part two though I might just go ahead and make it anyway

#admin talks #helluva boss #character design #background characters #I'd be excited to do the sea creature demons from Envy. they all have pretty damn sick designs #disclaimer: I don't know anything about the crew members who made the sonas. in case they're problematic or anything
