Quiet snowy day mood for this outfit, pairing a flowery yukiwa (snowflake) obi, with a serene kimono depicting yukimochi nanten (snow-covered nandina/heavenly bamboo).
The arare (lit. hail) ground of the kimono look like falling snow - very chic!

Caitlin for the character bingo!
Funnily enough, she was my least favorite character when I started watching the show, and I was neutral about her for a while, until season 4, which was when I started to actually like her. I kinda felt like she was just there to be the tropey uptight-smart-girl character at first, and while I don't feel that way about her anymore (even when rewatching the earlier seasons), it did take me some time to warm up to her. I think part of that had to do with my thinking she would inevitably get a romantic storyline with Barry and/or Cisco, and I was dreading seeing that happen (with Barry because I didn't care, and with Cisco because I value their friendship too much as-is to want it to be anything else), but once it became clear that the show wasn't gonna go either of those routes with her, I was able to relax and start to appreciate her more.
So the funny thing about Caitlin—I love her, but I dislike so many of her storylines. She spent three seasons being wrapped up in love interest subplots, and when she finally broke out of that cycle, everything started to revolve around Frost. Which wasn't a bad thing at first, but instead of seizing the opportunity to give Caitlin more development, instead the show did the exact opposite, and took away parts of her personality, history, and role on the team, and attributed them to Frost instead, whom they had decided was now a completely different person and not a repressed side of Caitlin anymore. And while there are things I love about them being separate characters, that retcon seriously screwed Caitlin over by limiting her screen time and stunting her potential for more growth (plus it kinda felt like the writers were more interested in Frost, and they didn't know what to do with Caitlin once they'd amputated Frost's personality traits from her, so to speak).
Her treatment in season 8 had a lot to do with why I didn't even watch season 9. She became the character I was most invested in after Cisco left (which I was not expecting), and I just had zero interest in watching things get worse and worse for her.
I hesitated to mark off "the fandom is so mean", because she IS a major fan favorite, but at the same time it's...complicated. You have the section of Iris stans who hate her just to spite Snowbarry shippers, and you have the Frost fans who consider Caitlin to be the lesser/boring Snow, and then there's the chunk of Snowbarry shippers who...don't actually seem to really appreciate her, they just want her with Barry because she's not Iris?? (not black, that is) So like she's simultaneously overrated for qualities she doesn't have, and under-appreciated for qualities she does have.
And of course, I would be remiss not to mention @frosty-the-killer-doll's near-constant cheerleading, endearing me to Caitlin even further.

I've recently been informed that 2/22 is national cat day in Japan, so I did what had to be done
[ID] A digital drawing of Edgeshot from BNHA. He is wearing his hero costume and has cat ears, paws, and a tail (colored like a ragdoll cat). There are also whiskers on his mask and he has solid blue cat eyes. He's sitting on the ground with one paw waving slightly. [end ID]
It is also national margarita day in the US but cats are more important

Had this idea for a swap story where Astrid was the reckless social outcast wannabe dragon slayer who shot down a light fury and Hiccup was the goodie son-of-the-chief blacksmith with a lot of friends
My favorite detail would be that since Astrid doesn't know how to build the tail, she'd befriend Hiccup for the sole reason of getting him to design a 'hypothetical' dragon tail, trust me Hiccup, it's not like I have an actual dragon I want to try it out on this is PURELY for artistic purposes
Their crush on each other would develop from there, I think it would feel a lot more natural

Snow, rain and hail... and this morning it was revealed that the snow won out. (At least temporarily!) Happy February!
