Hi! I absolutely love your thoughts on Planetosi fashion and the culture aspects and changes in fashion over the time periods. It’s such an aspect of world building that I don’t think gets much focus in media and it gives a look into so much of a richer world that we didn’t see as much in the show (in my opinion).

I know you mentioned a bit about the Daynes style of dress, but do you have any more HCs on Dorne? I know you mentioned the the amount of layers would change according to the region because of the heat.

Yes I love thinking ab dornish fashion!!

Starting from the north, near the Dornish marches and by the Red Mountains, where those with the most Andal blood live, we have a little bit of a mix between influences. Either because they live so close to the edge of the kingdom, or because Andal traditions trickled down. Clothing is thicker bc it is a (slight) bit colder for where stony dornishmen live. Textiles are also a combo of thicker fabrics they get from the stormlands/reach and traditional airy fabrics from Dorne.

Moving to the actual deserts of Dorne, this is where you see full coverage clothing. Usually this consists of a singular long and loose shift, with added robes for added protection. If you pass a sandy dornishman in the desert, you will hardly ever see their face. Clothing is almost solely made up of cotton and linen (they’re the most breathable fabrics) and there is always going to be a turban or hat of some kind while they ride or herd or work

And “Salty” dornish fashion (so around the coastlines) still has strong remnants of their Rhoynar ancestors. Both in patterns/accessories and the fabrics they use. They can afford to have both light and heavy fabrics since they live near the water and weather will cool during winter, unlike the rest of Dorne. Their patterns and textiles still reflect the intricate artistry of the old Rhoynar cultures, and has striking similarities to the free cities, mostly Myr

The Martells themselves :D very much drippy. Despite the fact that Dorne is a notoriously brutal climate, their clothes reflect the fact that they are not only wealthy enough to survive but also have extravagance. I’m obsessed with the idea of gilded and embellished clothing for the Martells, especially for ceremonial/traditional clothing to show off power (the left pic is Doran and Oberyn at an important Sunspear ball is it not) ALSO I like to think that princesses of Dorne will wear their bride price on their clothing as a sort of “I’m expensive” type thing, embellishing their dresses with silver coins and charms that equal the cost of their bride price

BONUS sand snake fits: I think the girlies like to match, especially when they need to go intimidate someone. Still fairly practical most of the time for riding around and fighting but still indicative of their royal blood despite their bastard status. Other times I think they fully dress practically and essentially like a commoner (when they need to stay hidden for ~espionage~ reasons) and it’s just easier to move around in whenever they’re in rough terrain. Probably favored by resident butch Obara

#asoiaf #asoiaf hair and clothing #hi :]#sorry this took so long anon 💔#I was feeling so uninspired and I still am kinda iffy ab how I feel but #we ball

actually when ppl do bob's burgers genderbends and they give louise dog ears or make her hat blue or something i immediately lose 10 years of my life

#her hat being pink has NOTHING to do with her gender and same w/ them being bunny ears #even if you're arguing “if louise was a boy she wouldnt want to be seen wearing bright pink ears!!!!” like be for fucking real rn #you KNOW that's not true. i get they're trying to make her genderbend design unique or whatever but it's lazy and uninspired #also plays into the dogs = boys thing which is just kinda funny #if dogs are boys and cats are girls what gender are rabbits? nonbinary??#txt #bob's burgers

aot guys: boyfriend does your makeup challenge

reiner: knows what everything is because he loves standing in the doorway to watch you get ready any chance he gets. has also asked you questions about it before while sitting with you. he finds it so relaxing. reminds me of the guy in a video that FaceTimes his girl to talk about their days while she does her makeup. also actively pays attention to the brands and colors you prefer buying when you're out shopping together. but just cause he's watched you apply everything and technically knows the steps, he doesn't have the steadiest hand or smoothest application skills. gives it a valiant effort and it doesn't look half bad in the end!

jean: an artist so at least he gets color theory? lol But feels completely overwhelmed when presented with the task. Even if you aren't someone that has a bunch of things to choose from. Does have the common sense to read any labels to see what an item is for tho. So whether for eyes, lips, blush, etc. Takes soooo long with your eyeliner because he wants to try and do the winged eyeliner he's seen and wants it to be perfect. He's not used to such a tiny brush though, or the fact that skin moves and pulls with the pressure of the brush unlike canvas or paper. But he's a quick learner. In the end everything looks good! blended well and wings sharp enough to slice a titan! he's so proud when you tell him how well he did!

connie: taking this opportunity to experiment with a bunch of wild colors you'd never wear. doesn't care to look at what each thing is for. just chooses by color, texture, shinyness. claims he has some artistic direction/ theme he's being inspired by but is talkin straight out his ass. as soon as he's done and you get a look in the mirror 🤡🤡🤡... you are reaching for the makeup wipes cause WTF Connie?? He's laughing but swearing up and down he legit tried and thinks you look cool. 😒

marco: this sweetie!! I headcanon he grows up with older sisters and has watched them put on makeup before. therefore he knows pretty quick and easily what is used for what part of your face. knows a bunch of little tricks he's seen/heard his sisters talk about. Like using an index card edge or scotch tape to get a perfect wing. Or being sure to do the bottom lash mascara first so when you're opening your eyes wide the top lashes won't leave marks on your eyelids. best way to apply lashes. he knows so much! contouring and such is beyond his depth but he's got you dolled up ready for a date night on the town or photoshoot worthy in no time at all!

bertholdt: he's so nervous. when isn't he? lol he ends up choosing the minimal look to avoid messing up too badly. applies your eyeliner just to your top lid and gives the tiniest little baby wing from the corners. no eyeshadow. uses some blush on your cheeks that isn't a super bright or noticeable color cause he's scared to overdo it. bypasses the foundation and concealer. claims there's nothing about your face that needs to be concealed because you're so beautiful. surprisingly chooses a bold lip color though. he thinks it suits you. and turns bright red when he mentions liking when you leave lip prints on him but completely forgot this was all being recorded. he wants to curl into a ball and die of embarrassment but it's so cute!

porco: you think this is going to be a disaster. you're actually pretty surprised when he's picking up things and you're asking him what it is and he knows it exactly without having read the label. apparently he's paid closer attention to you getting ready than you getting ready than you ever thought. His hands are also steady as he holds your chin and gently turns your face to whatever angle he needs to apply your eye makeup. does take a long time though cause he's determined to make everything look perfect. he claims it's cause he doesn't want it to look sloppy and get roasted in any comments. it actually looks really good in the end, something you may have done yourself. but you tease that he's never allowed to complain about you taking a long time to get ready, ever again.

#saw the prompt idea in a tag and got hit with thoughts #so self indulgent especially w the porket one cause imma grade a simp #aot x reader #reiner x reader #jean x reader #connie x reader #marco x reader #bertholdt x reader #porco x reader #connie's is probs cliche and uninspired but oh well #i tried #kinda long but dont feel like its readmore worthy long sooo....#nat writes

Music Giant AU

Tallulah is the daughter of the Music Giant Wilbur and stands at 50 ft tall (which is relatively small compared to her father)

One day, a human thief named Tommy ends up finding her cave and hides in there to get away from King Cellbit's guards

What he doesnt realize is that a young giant is staring down at him and watching him curiously

Tallulah gets rather curious about Tommy once he realizes that she's there and eventually starts holding him and fawning over how small he is and how she can't wait to show him to her papa

Wilbur has dealt with humans before and is a bit hesitant about Tallulah keeping him around, knowing he probably has a life to get back too but Tommy agrees to stay considering that Cellbit still has guards searching for him

Wilbur is about 150 ft tall, pretty tall compared to Tallulah

They live in an enchanted forest separated from humans, they aren't the only titans that live there

Tommy doesn't realize he entered a giants cave until the last minute before Tallulah grabs him lol

Each Giant has their own abilities, not sure what Tallulah and Wilbur have, but I do know their powers surround music

#giant!wilbur #giant!tallulah #mcyt g/t #g/t community #tiny!tommy #tiny!cellbit #qsmp g/t #dsmp g/t #been pretty uninspired lately #i can write prompts but cant write full stories #kinda inspired by an OC i had #idk what to put in the tags #luna talks #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #g!wilbur

spotted

kai knew the moment the man spotted him, how the night would end. he wasn't surprised when the man ended up approaching him, drunk, to solicit his services. kai wasn't 'working' tonight but he also had just 500 simoleons to his name at the moment. so he didn't refuse the man's offer. kairi didn't care about the ring glistening on the man's finger as he blew him in the backroom of the bar, all he cared about was the payment he received after.

#this is kinda a new story..i'll post it when i feel like it basically. no upload schedule. lani & liyah's save have been kinda uninspiring #so i wanted a new save file to play in where i can just do whatever i want pretty much. & i've been having so much fun with kai fr #simblr #the sims 4 #the sims #sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 gameplay #sims 4 gameplay #sims 4 story #the sims gameplay #sims 4 screenshots #errantcesims #kairi sato

The Power of Patience (and a Little Almond Tofu)

Character: Xiao

Words: 2788

Warnings: blood mentioned briefly, healing from an injury (let me know if anything else needs tagged)

Details: You stayed at Wangshu Inn for two reasons: the low prices, and the strangely handsome immortal you hope to get close to. How easy that is rests entirely on him.

Alternatively: you bring Xiao almond tofu every day. You doubt he even notices, until the day you can’t. Apparently he notices more than you could’ve ever hoped for.

You had known what you were getting into the moment you had decided to try and get close to Xiao. At least, you thought so. You didn’t realize quite how much time and patience it would take, but it was something you were willing to do. For him.

He was an adeptus, which you’d somehow guessed after seeing him the first time. Most people seemed to think he was a very young mortal, if the bulletin boards were to be believed. Something felt lonely about him though, and you wanted to help. Perhaps you’d fail, but you at least wanted to try.

At first, you didn’t see him at all, even when you actively sought him out. Maybe he knew what you were trying to do. Maybe not. Still, you’d gathered the fact he would usually be on Wangshu Inn’s balcony if he wanted to be seen.

Unfortunately for you, he didn’t.

Maybe… you’d see him if you brought almond tofu. It was difficult to convince Smiley Yanxiao to let you borrow the kitchen. You were just a guest who stayed at the inn only for the low rates compared to staying in the harbor, after all. (“You know I could just make it and give it to you?” “It wouldn’t be the same!”) However, his hesitation stopped when you mentioned the adeptus on the roof.

“Just don’t expect too much from him. You’d be lucky to see him.”

Despite his words, and his tone, you could tell he was coming from a good place. The fact he let you use his kitchen was proof enough.

Your first attempt was quite impressive, especially considering you’d never made it before. Smiley Yanxiao even seemed to approve. With his vote of confidence, you climbed the stairs to the balcony.

You’d be lying if you said you weren’t disappointed to not see Xiao, but hey! Baby steps. You honestly weren’t sure if he’d even take your offering. Still, with a sigh, you placed the plate down and headed back inside.

The next night when you went to offer more, it was gone. You felt some sort of pride, but it was immediately followed by doubt. Maybe someone else had found it. Maybe it was ignored and someone working at the inn had to take it back inside. Worst of all, perhaps he had gotten it and didn’t like it. There were no signs in any direction. You sighed, shook your head, and left the food out.

It became a routine. You’d leave it out, the next night it would be gone. The only evidence it happened was your memory. Your doubt grew every day. Still, you pushed through. After all, if a worker at the inn had brought the plate back to the kitchen, surely Smiley Yanxiao would’ve told you. It would be a waste of your time and ingredients, as well as his kitchen, if it just sat there.

Someone was clearly eating it, but who? You just hoped it was Xiao. The fact it was being eaten meant surely it was at least good. Whoever took it kept coming back every time you left it, after all.

You, for better or for worse, had a job. Sure, it was routine to make the food for Xiao but you had other things to do during the day than just that. Which led to the first conflict: a hilichurl attack.

You headed back to the inn after a long day, trying to stick to the path. Was it your fault there was a stretch where the wildlife looked so peaceful under the glow of the sunset, and there didn’t happen to be any Millelith posted? It also happened to be the furthest point of the path from both Liyue Harbor and Wangshu Inn.

“Yaya ika!”

Oh. Well then, time to get going! Unfortunately for you, mitachurls were very fast. They could outrun their targets, especially if said target tripped and fell like an idiot.

You had a Vision at least. You sustained injuries, and yet you fought to the best of your abilities. You took out what you thought was the last hilichurl, and panted from exhaustion. How were you going to make it back to the inn like this? You prayed for a miracle… and were met instead with the sound of a hilichurl blowing a horn.

Reinforcements? Now? You were dead. Maybe you could just run— wait, no. Your legs began to wobble under you. No. Not here. Not like this! Yet, you couldn’t do much. All you could do was grab your weapon and hope you’d be seen soon.

To your surprise, you were able to at least hit a few hilichurls if not incapacitate them when they saw you.

That’s when you got the miracle you were waiting for. The sound of fierce wind, black smoke-like tendrils surrounding a small body, a mask that glowed teal… There was no mistaking your savior was none other than the one you’d been making offerings to.

It was his duty, you told yourself as you watched. You weren’t special. You were a citizen of Liyue and it was his duty to protect you. That was all assuming he’d even come here to help you and he didn’t just happen to be in the area.

Yet, watching him move swift as the wind, his hair flying, you couldn’t help but wish it wasn’t a coincidence he happened to be patrolling here. The final hilichurl fell, and no horn sounded. The yaksha moved his head back and forth, and finally removed his mask. His golden eyes seemed to glow under the light of the now rising moon. The stars around him shone so spectacularly that you felt your chest tighten.

His eyes turned to you. Oh no. He couldn’t tell what you’d just been thinking, right? Your heart began to race from fear this time. He opened his mouth and you flinched instantly.

“Are you okay?” So, it seemed he hadn’t known. You’d keep it that way.

“I think so. Thanks to you.”

“You’re lucky. If you were any closer, you could’ve been hurt much worse. I cannot guarantee the safety of those who witness my battles.” Then, something pulls his eye down your body.

You follow his gaze and realize finally there was a huge gash from your knee most of the way down your leg. It was bleeding profusely. Oh. In your adrenaline-filled state, you hadn’t felt it. Now that you did, your reaction was to laugh.

Oh archons, you must’ve looked insane.

“You… are very strange. What did you think you were even doing?”

“I don’t know. I guess that’ll teach me to wander.” Your words were punctuated by further bouts of laughter. “I thought I’d be able to get them all.”

“Here.” He walked close to you, but remained slightly distant. He then offered his wrist. “I wouldn’t usually do this, but I don’t think you can get back to Wangshu Inn like this. Just know I won’t be able to do this all the time. It would put too much of a strain on your body to deal with my karma.”

Wow… even one sentence he’d just said contained more words than you’d collectively heard from him before. You took his hand gently, not that you had to grip strength to put much pressure on him.

You closed your eyes tight, and with another whooshing sound, you were back at Wangshu Inn. Only Verr Goldet and Huai’an seemed to be awake, though you felt that had a lot to do with the fact most mortals weren’t meant to know Xiao stayed there.

You turned around to thank Xiao. He was already gone. You could still feel the ghost of his touch on your hand.

Verr Goldet, strange as she could be, helped you clean and bandage your wound. She asked you questions to distract you from the pain, mostly about your encounter.

“It was a bit odd,” you admitted. “I haven’t heard him speak so much ever. It was like he already knew where to go too, but I don’t know how he would. And he- ow!- he teleported me back here.”

“It’s true that would be a rare experience for any ordinary person.”

You were too tired to think too much about the fact she said “ordinary” in such a way it might exclude you.

“Still, it may have been strange to him to receive almond tofu every day, and then one day not.” She smiled slightly at that. “Perhaps he noticed your absence more than you give yourself credit for.”

Once she had treated you, you went almost straight to bed. What a strange day.

The first thing you felt as you woke up was panic. Not because of a nightmare, but because of the night before. Was any of that real? Maybe it was a dream too. Still, you remembered it better than most dreams.

Xiao had saved you from hilichurls. Would you have died without him? Maybe not, but it was the gesture that counted. Your mind lingered on the way he looked under the night sky. You shook your head, and thought back to Verr Goldet’s words. She said something about the almond tofu, right? So Xiao had been receiving it! And he had noticed when there wasn’t any. Maybe he was worried. Wait. Foolishness of assuming an adeptus would notice if you went missing aside, how actually had he gotten to you in time?

You startled at the thought, and the pain that shot through your leg confirmed it was all real. Wait, how would you get to work if you could barely walk? You hobbled out of your room with great difficulty… and were met with stairs. Yeah, you weren’t getting to the harbor anytime soon.

Verr Goldet noticed you from the lobby, and called out. “Be careful!”

“I… I don’t think I can move much,” you replied with a grimace. She left the desk and quickly ascended the stairs.

“I figured. I’ve already sent a letter to your employer saying you won’t be able to make it in for a while. Just focus on resting.

You figured it would be all you could do. Still… “I want to thank Xiao for everything. I don’t think I’d be in a very good state if he hadn’t come, not that I’m doing too good right now. I want to at least bring him almond tofu or something.”

She waved dismissively. “Don’t even worry. He doesn’t seem to like that sort of thing anyway. As far as he’s concerned, it was nothing.”

You didn’t want to offend him. “Is there anything I can do?”

“I think the best thing you can do is heal.” She lowered her voice and winked. “Still, if there was a way you wanted to thank him, I could always look the other way. I think it’d be good for him.”

You thanked her and said goodbye. With a determined expression, you turned back to your room and nearly cried out from the pain. Yeah, this might be difficult.

When you woke up again, there were two plates next to you. One of them, you noted, was almond tofu. You didn’t expect anyone to bring you food, much less dessert too. After eating, you saw why it was one of the only dishes Xiao could stomach. If you were being honest, it had quickly skyrocketed to being one of your favorite foods. A knock sounded on your door.

“Hello?”

“This is Verr Goldet. I just wanted to make sure you’re doing okay and you got the food.”

“Oh, yeah! I’m great, and so’s the food. Especially the almond tofu.”

She didn’t respond for a second. “We didn’t—“ she cut herself off. “Well, at least you seem to be doing good.”

How strange. It seemed like she was going to say they didn’t bring you the almond tofu, but how else would it have gotten there? It was also strange to you that the staff seemed to be so kind towards you. Were they like that with every guest, or had you done something that caught their attention? You thought back to Verr Goldet’s strange actions when you mentioned thanking Xiao. Perhaps you had done something special.

The next few weeks were simultaneously the slowest and fastest of your life. The first days of rest were nice, but you grew frustrated being unable to move as you wanted. Still, you made a lot of progress and after a while your were able to walk down to get your own food at least.

When you finally were mostly back to normal, and had taken the bandages off, you marveled at how fast the time had seemed to fly in retrospect. You decided to test your capabilities one night before you went back to work, just in case. Before leaving, you left another almond tofu. This one had a note. You laughed to yourself and headed off.

Despite your curiosity about Xiao, you knew little about the actual work he did. You had no idea what sort of route he took or when he went out. He must have been at the inn around the time you left his food out. It was a cold dish, so surely it would go bad quickly. With your genius brain, you had the idea to help kill some monsters for him. It would test your leg, and you’d be able to thank him. Nothing could go wrong, unless you injured yourself again. Well, whatever. That wouldn’t happen.

To your credit, it didn’t. The night went well in terms of fighting, due in part to your Vision. Your leg felt about how it did before the injury. Just as you were about to rest against a tree, you heard a familiar whooshing noise. Xiao! What was he doing here?

“What are you doing here?” Apparently, he wanted to know the same of you.

“Thanking you?”

He scoffed. “You’re absurd.”

You laughed.!It sounded different from the last time you’d laughed around him. It was happy, not borderline maniacal. His eyes went back down to your leg.

“I’m fine, see?”

“That was still risky of you.”

“It ended up fine.”

“What if it didn’t? You really didn’t need to thank me for performing my duties.”

Wait. Was he worried? You certainly didn’t expect him to admit it, but you smiled at him anyway.

“I suppose you’re right that I didn’t need to.” His expression changed. It was still difficult to read, but it was something different. “You just missed the fact I wanted to.”

Xiao blinked, then turned away. “Mortals are so fragile, yet you’d never know from the way they act.”

You wondered briefly if he’d gotten your note. Was there any way for you to tell? You could ask, but would that be weird? You decided not to, but still wanted to say one last thing.

“If I were so fragile, how am I still here? Maybe I’m not like you in terms of strength, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything in my own right. Anyway, I want to say it properly. Thank you.”

Xiao’s back was still turned towards you. You couldn’t see his face, nor could he see yours. Still, you smiled. The thought entered your head once more, briefly, that he looked every bit as beautiful as the night he saved you.

“Whatever. Do what you want. I don’t think I can stop someone so stubborn. Insisting on thanking me, insisting on leaving me offerings as if I’m someone to worship, insisting on leaving handwritten notes… Truly absurd.”

That’s when you realized several things. First, he knew it was you leaving the almond tofu. Second, he had read your note. Third, he had a very strange perception of himself. And fourth…

“Before you go, I want to thank you for bringing me that almond tofu the that first day.”

The way he teleported put quickly seemed to confirm it. Of course he’d be the only one who could bring you something without the knowledge of anyone else at the inn.

As you headed back to the inn, this time for real, you felt your heart swell. Several months ago, you never would’ve thought you could experience anything like that. Your smile widened… and then dropped as you remembered you’d probably have to start working again the next day, and it was very late. Whatever. You’d gotten through to Xiao on some level, which was more than most could say. Even if you still had some way to go, you were proud of what you had done. Now, if only you could work on your heart rate upon seeing him.
