Mileapo are having another nice touristic day around Paris, and their IG stories contain hints of each other...

Mile posted this Piaget watch, when Apo is affiliated with this brand:

It's green, Mile's fave color, and matches all the green Piaget watches that Apo posted on Sep 13 and 16, kind of subtly confirming who all those pics were for...

Meanwhile, Apo posted this pic of Mile with Jared Leto at the BOF 500 gala on Sep 30, and he added music from Jared's band, Thirsty Seconds to Mars. There are plenty of pics taken at the event of Jared with Mileapo, but nah. Since Mile was probably excited as a musician even more than as an actor to meet Jared, this update is all about Mile, celebrating him on Apo's IG.

And then Mile posted this pic of a green toy car:

A second later he added a pic of it with clear-rimmed glasses placed on top of it:

Who wears glasses like that?

OH! An Indonesian gay blogger seems to have spotted Mile at a Paris cafe... Gift is there as well, but based on everything they've all posted, Apo is likely there, even if he happens to be in the bathroom or ordering another cup of coffee (or three) when the blogger who was waiting to get into a restaurant happened to spot Mile.

And just as a bonus, here's another moment from the live they did yesterday, during their romantic night stroll to the Louvre museum. This is Mileapo watching the moon together:

10 tips if you're going to see the 2024 Olympics in Paris and/or visit the Louvre museum

As a French I get the reminder everyday that the Olympic Games are taking place in Paris this year ; and let me tell you that I do not care the slightest (mostly because I don't live even close to Paris myself). But maybe some of you are going to see the Games, and I feel like I should give you some tips to survive in the capital. And given that I worked at the Louvre museum for a few years, I added tips for you if you want to visit it as well during your stay.

Parisian people are rude af most of the time (French people are, in my opinion, but even as a Frenchie myself, people in Paris are usually the worst). Don't expect smiles at every shop, counter or street. You're not the problem, don't take it personally (but don't feed the stereotypes like in Emily in Paris either, they'll burn you on the spot).

Don't expect everyone to speak English ; they'll also might get mad that YOU don't speak French. (my people are assholes okay, I'm sorry) (ofc I'm generalizing, but better safe than sorry)

Don't EVER buy a subway (or museum) ticket from a stranger. You'll most likely pay for an overpriced and/or already used ticket. Always buy your tickets from official counters. Also, there are a lot of pickpockets, especially in the subway, so be very careful (never hold a phone in your hand in the streets)

Police officers aren't going to be your friends. First of all, they rarely are, and second, it's gonna be a very tense event. If you "only" have a question, they'll probably be rude.

French people usually eat from around 11.30 am-13 pm. If you don't want to be in the lunch rush in takeout restaurants or boulangeries, I'd advise you to buy your lunch in advance, in the morning; but not too early to have a choice. Try buying your lunch between 9 and 10 am.

The Louvre museum:

Make an online reservation for your tickets; you'll get in faster (you'll still have to wait of course, but it's a bit faster).

Take. A. Map. Of. The. Museum. Of course, there are surveillance agents to help you if you're lost, but trust me the museum is a big ass building, even if you're great at orienting yourself, you'll need a map.

Try to avoid going to the Louvre on Mondays; the Orsay Museum and Palace of Versailles are both closed on those days, so there are more people at the Louvre.

Don't hesitate to reach out to the museum staff in the rooms! (people dressed in black, with a badge). They are here to help you and answer your questions, and unlike what I said before, they're usually really kind! Most of them are students on their summer jobs, they're kind and fun to have a chat with! (yes they were my colleagues I'm gonna defend them krkrkr)

Even if I find the Mona Lisa overrated as fuck, I get that you want to see her; so try to see her first when you visit the museum, then go to less crowded sections. Here are some amazing ones, less famous that I can suggest: the Michelangelo section, the Islamic arts (one of my fave, the rooms are really amazing), Dutch paintings, and the inner courts with statues. Give them a look, I promise it's worth it.

Bonus: if you're from Europe and under 26, the entrance is free in the Louvre, and in most of the Parisian museums.

Hope it's useful, and my fellow French baguettes, don't hesitate to add your tips, oui oui

(let me know if you want more tips on visiting the Louvre Museum !)

Hi, I’m going to the Louvre in roughly 2 weeks, and I’m not all that experienced in art (yet), and there’s way too much in the Louvre for me to comprehend. So I wanna ask if you have several pieces that I absolutely cannot miss (besides the ones mentioned in ahb, because I’m definitely going to see those already) :))

omgomgomgomg okay okay okay love this for you vibrating with excitement for you rn !! so the ones mentioned in ahb! are some of my faves that are definitely worth a visit but ALSO!!

liberty leading the people is there by Delacroix! also the oath of horatii by Jacques-Louis David! the lacemaker by vermeer!!! felicity triumphant by artemisia gentileschi!! those are some really good ones !!!

Hello! I was curious on what your thoughts were on MC being in a relationship with both Hayden and Sloane. Do you think it could work out? Thank you for all your insight!

Thank you for the ask, @choicesfrog! Glad to see all your thoughts and hcs on different Choices books! 😃

Hmm...I think honestly that depends on how you interpret them and their relationship with each other. Canon does lean towards a more familial type of relationship b/w Hayden and Sloane, but there is enough wiggle-room for it to evolve. It also depends on how you view their relationship with the MC outside of each other.

PM has a number of scenes as well where Sloane and Hayden are shown comfortably engaging with the MC romantically together, such as the handholding at the Louvre (Book 1 Ch 16), banter in Tokyo (Book 2 Ch 4), or co-sleeping with the MC the night before rescuing Damien (Book 2 Ch 3). There's even a moment where Hayden spots Sloane and the MC in a state of cozy domesticity and happily teases them about how cute they are together.

I view the PM MC as one of the more genuinely sensitive, caring ones: their (optionally) being polyamorous - while there are some flaws in handling (I wince everytime the MC apologizes to an LI for loving other people in their series finale confession scenes...and I wish there was more discussion, less jokes, about their polyamory*) - is still depicted without judgement, and the narrative clearly shows the MC as being extremely caring and careful with their partners.

I do think it will work out, the way the PM MC is shown handling relationships. Sloane at least has had experience dating polyam people, and Hayden does ease into the idea of their partner dating other people quite comfortably. The one other thing they may need to ease into is how that may change their relationship to each other, but...as I said, there is enough wiggle room for the reader to imagine how that relationship evolves 😃

In my HCs they are supportive of each other's relationship with the MC and find a lot of joy...and in certain universes I have them hold similar interests that they engage with together (like road trips and astronomy). In fact one of my fave Sloane + Hayden fics that I've written has Hayden help Sloane with her love letter for the MC because I really feel like that is the kind of bond that Hayden would have with her.

16 and 17

[from this fic writer's ask game!]

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

i am so in love with priest obi-wan aus, tbh. i know we just had blasphemous week and i loved it a lot and have fics saved to read later when i have time, but i love love love priest obi-wan aus (thank you angels and demons movie)

i also really love aus where the jedi order is like. made to be its own independent planet basically? someone marries a jedi because they have high standing, or a jedi marries a ruler of another planet because the jedi order is known to be important.

also?? jedi order canon au but make the jedi more explicitly priesty? i love that shit. i LOVE that shit. the only fic i can think of that fits into this very nice category here is may the stars bless them by greenqueenofclubs (who also wrote hunting the homeward light, a fave of mine)

17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?

oooo this is a hard question because i feel like so many of my aus (especially on tumblr) are very, very kit-specific. like i really thought the wine party au would net no other interest and it was really surprising to see people were willing to go along with the whole thing

i guess something in the same vein as wine party au---i would love to see a snob au. like wine party au is snob obi-wan, but i would love to see like. snob art history au. one is a tour guide at the louvre. the other is a hungover tourist. one is an architect, the other is visiting old homes and not fucking appreciating the fucking staircase. etc etc.

i would love to see aus where the writer's passion or niche knowledge shines through i love that shit that's the sort of shit i love to read. there's a lot of that but i would love to see more

#asks #i am so late getting to the rest of these #thank you thank you for sending tis in #i hope these answers are not just rambling nonsense #they will probably be a bit of nonsense

Fave Long Fics

good ol' @arahir is asking for everyone's fave long fics, so here are mine!

sorry if the rambling is a bit long, I just want to express my love <3

🌟: denotes a fic that belongs in the literary equivalent of the Louvre-- a stunning piece of writing even outside of its contribution to the fandom

JJBA

🌟 scheherazade -- shylittleghost; Josuke/Okuyasu-centric, but multiple POVs; canon-compliant prequel/sequel to part 4, necessary to read/watch part 4 to understand

this is one of those fics that not only elevates the original work in several ways, but it's a stunning piece of writing as a whole. the flow and tone of the piece is so unique and difficult to describe, with a fitting balance between mystery/horror and deadpan humor, and uses the narrating voice to play with the 4th wall in a really fun and satisfying way. oh, and one of the last chapters is a little RPG game, adding a bit little multimedia twist <3

BEASTARS

🌟 Mongrels and Strays series (mainly Mongrels and Lockjaw)-- HassouToby; technically Mongrels' primary ships are Legosi/Haru and Louis/Juno, but it's more genfic with multiple POVs. Lockjaw is Pina/Riz-centric; canon divergence from ch 156 of the manga, so it's necessary to read at least that far to understand

I have a complicated love/hate relationship with Beastars, but this fic honestly retroactively makes Beastars a better experience, imo. it not only enhances the source material, but engages and challenges its implications in ways that I frankly think Beastars itself failed to, introducing a new final antagonist, new thematic tension, and new challenges for the main characters to face. more than anything though, Mongrels feels like what the end of Beastars should have been. this fic isn’t afraid to up the stakes and have actual consequences, making the central conflict feel like a real threat to both individual characters and society as a whole. this fic is intense and brutal, and it’s not afraid to make the characters you love hurt

Homestuck

🌟 Detective Pony -- sonnetstuck; Dirk-centric(??); it's an extension of a one-off joke in the comic, but it's not necessary to know HS to read it (but it's def more satisfying if you're at least familiar with the Alpha kids)

does this fic even need to be stated, for any HS fan? this is a classic of classics, the best rec any HS fan could give. a fic that starts off with a goofy joke from the original comic (a Pony Pals kid's book that Dirk has edited with silly commentary), which gradually snowballs into a much deeper story. a stunning piece of writing, I rank it among the best works of metafiction literature of all time. this fic does an incredible job of imitating Hussie's writing style (specifically Dirk's voice) and the multi-media presentation of HS, it almost feels like it popped straight out of the comic

Endangered -- Mortior; Dirk/Hal, Dirk-centric; robot-apocalypse AU, not necessary to know anything about HS

rly fun au, and one of my fave whump fics, for any whump fans out there. it's also one of my favorite depictions of an AI personality, like the approach to relationships and perceptions feels believable

The Magnus Archives

🌟 Two Ships Passing -- pyrites; Gerry Keay/Jon Sims-centric; a canon-divergent au starting before canon which slightly shifts the flow of the original story, so it's not strictly necessary to be familiar with TMA, but it helps

I must admit I never got around to finishing this one after it finished updating (😭), but trust me when I say this fic is stunning. some scenes still grip me 'round the throat to this day even just thinking about them. and the additional lore/background-building for certain characters is so so fitting and satisfying, it adds so much depth

To The Moon and Back series (main fic is Banned Book Week) -- verboseDescription; several different POVs, though BBB is Gerry/Tim-centric; the main fic diverges from canon after season 3, so I suppose knowledge up to that point is fine

another one I need to get around to finishing someday (idk why I dropped off a bunch of TMA fics specifically...), but this one introduces some interesting new character dynamics, and additional lore-building for many of the characters that adds fun new depth. also a few OCs whom I simply adore <3

What Belongs to the Sea -- TwoDrunkenCelestials, WhyNotFly; starts Elias/Jon, with Jon/Martin endgame, Jon-centric; "Jon is a selkie" au, and the fic implies/explains the rest of canon well enough to read without being familiar with TMA imo

this fic approaches canon worldbuilding from the direction of a different species, giving a unique new perspective on established truths of the setting. I also love the way Jon's character is so different, but still fundamentally the same kinda guy-- "fuck around and find out"-ass man lmao. not to mention Elias' fucked-up dynamic with Jon is ramped up here in a really delicious way, it rly puts their canon dynamic into perspective

Danny Phantom

🌟 Phantom of Truth / Shadow of a Doubt -- HaiJu; Danny Fenton & Maddie Fenton-centric; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, would prolly be best to be familiar with the show but u can prolly get away with some wiki skimming

this one's a classic, and one of the big contributors to the "dissection/vivisection" genre of whump in the DP fandom, haha. it's such an intimate analysis of Danny's relationship with his mom, and it refuses to pull punches on Danny's situation and resulting trauma. I think it also does an excellent job challenging Maddie's perception/ethics in genuine and fundamental ways

Rise of the Guardians (movie)

🌟 Shadows and Light series -- not_poignant; Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Jack-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the movie (can't speak for book canon), u can prolly get away with reading a wiki summary if u don't wanna watch the movie

one of my fave fics for a decade now, I absolutely LOVE what this fic does for ROTG worldbuilding. so much thought is put into the politics of the fae community, and how magic functions both practically and thematically. and it introduces a ton of cool fae ocs, many of which now have their own stories, as the author has used their fae world here in other original stories as well (would also recommend!!). and the relationship between Pitch/Jack is excellent of course, with a lot of interesting BDSM elements to their dynamic (a common trend in this author's other writing as well)

Mob Psycho 100

🌟 A Breach of Trust -- Phantomrose96; Ritsu, Mob, & Reigen-centric, but multiple other POVs as well; diverges from canon before the start of the canon story, so knowing MP100 isn't necessary

this is a really fun "what if Reigen and Mob didn't meet when they were supposed to?" canon-divergent au. it pushes basically every character to their worst, most self-destructive ends, and it makes me want to throttle some of them (affectionate <3). the fic isn't done yet (as of posting this), but it promises to end satisfyingly-- it just has to put everyone through the wringer first lmao

Welcome to Night Vale

🌟 run, run, fast as you-- -- (orphaned); Cecil/Carlos, Carlos-centric; compliant with early NV lore, mostly diverges in some of Carlos' background and motivations moving to Night Vale. familiarity with s1 would be useful, but not strictly necessary

really really stunning fic, I love the additional lore-building for Carlos and Cecil here, so much is added to their characters. since this is such an old fic, some of the lore here ends up being retroactively false, as the podcast introduced different lore later on. but I almost wish some of the lore here was canon b/c it's just that good (like Cecil's whole thing with the orphanage, and how the orphanage even functions OUGH!)

The Devil Went Down To Georgia (you heard that right, the country song)

🌟 The Devil Went Down to Georgia (And Then Went Down on Johnny) series -- notbecauseofvictories; Johnny/The Devil, Johnny-centric; I guess a modern take on canon, kinda treated like an original story tbh, but like. you can also just listen to the song beforehand

the author clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for music-- especially country music-- and it rly shines through in this fic. the celebration of music and community and country culture here is just. idk, it's like being invited to the table, somehow, I love it. this whole fic is poetry and it makes me ache

Portal

Blue Sky -- wafflestories; Wheatley/Chell-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the second game, necessary to know the games to understand

I must admit it's been several years since I've read this one, so my memory of it isn't quite as strong. but I remember it being a very loving rehabilitation of Wheatley and Chell's relationship, and I believe it's considered a classic by the ship's fans.

How To Train Your Dragon (movie)

I Hear Him Scream -- Rift-Raft; Toothless & Hiccup-centric; diverges from canon at the point when Hiccup downs Toothless with the net at the beginning of the movie, so watching the movie isn't super necessary, tho I imagine most of us have seen it (as we should!!)

I don't know that I would call this one particularly well-written-- it can get kinda awkward and jarring at points, and the end of the story kinda goes off the rails for me. but the premise and worldbuilding make up for it, imo. but I admit I love xenofiction, so I love seeing the deep lore about dragon culture/society this fic presents

Kekkai Sensen

Fleißiger Junge -- TheLennyBunny; Klaus/Leo, Leo-centric; demon/angel au, not necessary to know KKSS

I really love the demon/angel worldbuilding in this one, with a delicious twist of horror that's so fitting to canon /chef's kiss/. and the way Leo's family is characterized (with several OC characters) is so so fun and charming. good eating for the starving Klaus/Leo fans out there 😭

RWBY

🌟 Teaching Qrow -- ByronNightshade; Qrow-centric; a canon-compliant prequel to the canon story, a bit of knowledge about the setting and Qrow's backstory are kinda necessary

I fucking love what this fic does for Qrow's character, it treats him with way more nuance and understanding than canon ever has (tho tbf, most Qrow fans do, lol). and all the additional OCs and building on the subtle implications of RWBY lore... AUGH it's good

My Hero Academia

Hero Class Civil Warfare -- RogueDruid; genfic with multiple POVs; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, prolly necessary to at least be familiar with the world/characters to a point

really fun "what if this class exercise got got a bit too intense, haha~" au. it introduces a ton of fun new dynamics between the characters, and lets Izuku shine as a badass, chessmaster "villain"

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Imaginary Truths -- Mythril; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; actor au, not necessary to know ORV

this fic does an excellent job translating the canon relationships/dynamics to this setting, and keeps the core of the story/themes intact in rly interesting ways.

new game (+) -- illusionedwhite; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk, Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; role-reversal au, and since it starts from the beginning where where canon would have started, I guess it's not technically necessary to read ORV first? but ORV provides more context

this fic is rly careful about the particular way Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk switch roles-- it's very much about their story roles. their core characters/themes remain intact, they're just interpreted through a new lens here. this is for the fans that read ORV and thought, "what if I want to read ORV again, but slightly to the left?"

Genshin Impact

🌟 Begin Anew, O Lost Child -- DarthPeezy; Childe/Zhongli/Guizhong, Childe-centric; a time-travel au that diverges from canon at the battle with Osial in the Liyue chapter, so familiarity up to that point is necessary

there's something about circularity and connection, here. about reaching across expanses of time to connect with those you love, and those you lost. about the horror of fate, and the hope for a future in spite of it. idk, this fic did something to me

we were lovers -- ThirteenSocks; Kazuha/his unnamed friend, Kazuha-centric; "Kazuha loses his vision" au, with a few twists. this fic doesn't really touch canon involving the traveler, but familiarity with Inazuma is necessary, so at least up through that chapter in-game.

what else can I say except this fic is beautiful-- it has the same melodic quality that I associate with Kazuha himself, so it feels perfectly appropriate.

To Be or Not To Be (Human With You) -- lilbittofmatcha; Aether/Scaramouche, Aether-centric; diverges after the end of the whole Sumeru chapter, familiarity up to that point is necessary

I really really love Traveler fics that acknowledge that the Traveler is essentially an otherworldy alien being, and was perhaps even godlike(??) before landing in Teyvat. I especially love Aether's characterization here, and the obvious comparisons to be made with Scara's situation

Sinking Ships in Liyue Harbor -- whereherbonesareburied; Diluc/Kaeya, Diluc-centric; a "what if Kaeya left" divergence from canon sometime after the events of the Mondstadt chapter. it's necessary to be familiar with Kaeya and Diluc's relationship, so reading up on their lore is best, though familiarity up through the Liyue chapter will help with this one

something about the pacing and framing of this fic really charms me. like, Diluc's journey to find Kaeya is kinda framed as a series meetings with several new people, like snapshots from a photo album? it's fun to see so many different, brief impressions of characters through his eyes

Osomatsu-san

Dissociation Disease -- PyrrhicFiend; Karamatsu-centric; technically features multiple AUs, but the core story is show canon. not strictly necessary to be familiar with the show

a fic I never ended up finishing (someday..), but I remember it being incredibly trippy and bizarre in the best of ways. though it may not be the best fic to read dealing with dissociation themself, because it grapples a lot with warped perception and hallucinations

🌟 Frater, Ave Atque Vale -- (orphaned); Karamatsu/Osomatsu, Osomatsu-centric; fantasy AU, not necessary to know the show

this one's perhaps on the razor's edge of not being long enough for this list, but I'm counting it anyways. there's something about 'brief' writing styles that often captures me, like parsing a scene down to its bare essentials makes the tone/emotion land more powerfully. this fic is probably my favorite example of this style

Voltron: VLD

The Rites of Courtship -- calibratingentropy; Keith/Thace, Keith-centric; canon-divergence from the end of s1 ep12, and it's kinda necessary to be familiar at least to that point, though u might be able to skim the wiki

a rarepair I never woulda considered if a friend hadn't recced this fic to me way back, haha. this fic features some of my favorite alien worldbuilding, with a lot of thought and care put into Galran culture and biology, I think about it a lot as a specevo creator myself

The Favored Champion -- sugarapplesweet; Sendak/Shiro, Shiro-centric; canon-divergence before canon, while Shiro is still a coliseum fighter

real fucked-up Stockholm Syndrome abusive relationship, Shiro goes thru the wringer </3. I love the way the relationship with the Lions is depicted here too, the chapter where Shiro basically screams at the Black Lion grips me by the throat. another great example of cool Galra worldbuilding too, not as heavy on the bio side as the last one but fun to see either way!

Tokyo Mew Mew

The Deal -- RizuOnceAgain; Ichigo/Quiche, Ichigo-centric; canon-divergent from an unspecified(?) point in canon, and I um. I've never watched TMM and know very little beyond TMM's basic premise and main characters? so take that as you will

I don't often read fics from things I'm not familiar with, but I trust my friend's recs with my life, and this one did not disappoint. I can't speak on how faithful it is to the original, but Ichigo/Quiche's dynamic here makes me go crazy nutso bonkers!! it has me banging on the walls and chewing furniture, oh my god!! it almost makes me wanna watch the show even tho I know I won't like it nearly as much as this fic 😭.

#there are still a few fics I can't in good faith rec here simply b/c of the source material #sigh. they still live in me heart tho. and my AO3 <3 #shut up ashley #I may end up updating this as I please #fic recs

☕🐸🌸

☕ coffee or tea?

tea, omg tea all the way. I don't mind coffee flavor in desserts but I hate drinking it. one of the only full cups of coffee I've ever drunk was when my dad and I were on the tour of normandy with the national wwii museum. on the day we were doing all the airborne related adventures (so the day I was the most excited about!!), I was so sleep deprived bc my dad snores like an air raid siren and we were sharing a hotel room, so in desperation I choked down a cup of coffee sans cream but with a lot of sugar. big mistake, should've used cream.

I like most kinds of tea but my fave is a good earl grey. very obsessed with palais de the's blue of london and louvre courtyard blends, the latter of which isn't available on amazon anymore and it sucks bc it's slightly too expensive to want to buy it direct from them on a whim.

🐸 describe your aesthetic

idk, maximalist?? I like having my house set up as a little museum/library of all my favorite things, carefully curated into their little displays. feel like this is also a deceptively apt descriptor of my personal style clothing wise because while I am not making sensational brave choices in fashion I have so many casual cosplay pieces and competing aesthetics that it's very difficult for me to have a capsule wardrobe per say. I wish I could be like I am only interested in pastel vintage looks instead of that but also fifteen other things.

🌸 best compliment you've ever received?

this is tough bc my brain mostly remembers the bad things people have said about/to me. 🙃 but while I was cleaning out the basement I found the little time capsule of stuff from my pre-covid job's desk and it included the write ups of both times I won employee of the month for doing a good job on some of my favorite museum projects I've ever done, and that was fun to revisit even if it's sort of silly to be taking stock in something from a job vs. people I love.

The Louvre - Lorde

Couldn’t include it in the first list, but I truly believe Melodrama is the perfect album, and this is one of my favourite on it 🫶

youtube

Beauty Is Empty - Mars Argo

I really love Mars Argo’s music, knowing the messy backstory and that all her songs were wiped except for two is so sad :((( thankfully a lot of them have been uploaded to YouTube by fans and this is one of my favourites 🥺

youtube

Undertale - Toby Fox

I have literally never played undertale, but somehow I came across this song from the soundtrack some years ago, and it has stayed with me since, genuinely I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard 🥺

youtube

I Don’t Think I Can Do This Again - Mura Masa, Clairo

youtube

Edge of Great - Julie and the Phantoms

JATP MY BELOVED the fact that this show got canceled after 1 season is my villain origin story fr 😤

Let's head from the Met Gala right to the Maude Gala! 💄✨️

Show us your fave look that Maude wore at an event! 👗 (or something you'd like to see her wearing in the future? 🔮)

Oh, this is such a fun ask! Thank you. 😊

So my favorite red carpet look is probably the Season 2 premiere dress. It struck the right balance of sexy and chic, and she looked so happy and confident. Yes, it’s a black dress, but the sparkle is a bit iridescent and the fur (feathers? I don’t know) trim makes it more interesting.

Maude generally sticks to a classic silhouette with dresses. It works really well for her (see: Venice Film Festival), but I also love when she wears something structured differently.

There have been some misses like the Loewe red balloons thing and the weirdness of the Louis Vuitton show at The Louvre, but I don’t really care for those brands. I like her in separates:

Would love to see her get edgier with her red carpet looks. Thom Browne had some of my favorite fashions last night, it would be great to see her partner with the brand again. Alexander McQueen would be fun, too. Something like this:

That’s my fave louvre photo too. They look like they’re at their wedding rehearsal. Love the way her hand is looped through his arm and the way he hold her finger

They really will find whatever way they can to be touching…but the intertwined arms just do something for me 🫠
