btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

高松出众木，伴我向天涯。作为女主线的重要角色，胸有成竹，步步为营的三公子府主人慕凌辰是个沉稳且颇具城府的人。在设计他的角色形象的过程中，采用了青松为主要元素，碧霄鹰眸如澈，藏万千筹谋。青衫怀玉着身，成翩然君子。风雷瑛冠显威严，黑白弈棋论权谋。粉墨挥毫之间，一个深藏若虚的执棋者形象跃然于纸上。

手捻菩提似念经，目中无物两耳空。相较于喜怒不形于色的慕凌辰，三公子府的女主人萧莲意则是行事利落的恭俭之人。凤带金饰，翠珠玉钗，金银交缀下赤玉宝带加身，云山重翠的锦袍，珠光宝气尽显尊荣。手握念心佛珠，慈悲入怀。鸾凤与佛法的设计元素熏陶下，慈眉善目的主母威仪浑然自成。

光风怀抱玉精神，不染世间尘。九思作为男主线主人公善良赤诚的小跟班，设计之中无不显出阳光与活力。臻白绒球吟斋锦囊，山阴皓雪锋锐宝剑，青竹为衬浮于窗框，一身劲袍干净利落，束发尽显少年意气。游戏以青涩翠竹为设计灵感，塑造出一个坚定执着，真心守护重要之人的热血年轻侍从。

腻颈凝酥白，轻衫淡粉红。她是君上的掌上明珠，是时刻为大家着想的乖巧闺秀。她是靖雪，是个知礼有才不失可爱的温婉女子。指尖的青鸟振翅欲飞，长衫缀着银杏叶片的纹样，娴静之中不失活泼可爱。金饰打造的双边佩环，眉间的一抹朱红，鲜艳动人的口脂，以银杏融入设计，怀春少女的娇俏可人尽在不言中。

KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE 1989 — dir. Hayao Miyazaki

Someone's probably done it already, but i looked at the ref and thought: "yes... It's them..."

The ref:

I Won't Hurt You

Karlach being a lovely, sunny person who can and does unleash brutal violence. And that violence is a very important part of who she is and is not uncomplicated. She's proud of it but also she was taken advantage of because of it; her body is her weapon but also her body is falling apart. She's so optimistic, she's so terrified of death, she will make the best of the time she has, she will fight tooth and nail to survive, she is content, she is desperate, she may or may not have gone a decade without reading a book, she is SO touch-starved, she swears like a sailor. Her teddy bear's name is Clive.

GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

28 April 1948 - 12 March 2015

G: Send the message on to the next Clacks Tower.

N: Do not log the message.

U: At the end of the line, return the message.

@starscall 30 Days Infinity Nikki Styling Challenge Day 9 - Fave sketch found in a chest

VALJEEEEEAN, AT LAST

... It would be cheap to use the confession lace twice, and I've already used the royal blue skirt, so I choose... the glasses...

Which took me considerable time, considerable effort and considerable determination to craft, so I guess I really wanted them too.

This outfit is called the Valjean... because this photo is taken off my joke production of Les Miserables. The bit when Jean(ne???) Valjean's hair turns white overnight from sheer misery and Javert butts in to arrest him a split second later. The glasses are useful for impersonating Nonoy styling cute bookish girls, but also for cool old women (although if I could do this again I'd give her the hair from the newest 4-star outfit instead).

They're up to no good :D

No context

This song has single-handedly taken over my life and it’s only been like a week

@starscall 30 Days Infinity Nikki Styling Challenge Day 8 - Shoes you dislike

Once again, these are not the worst shoes, but there are shoes I consider unstylable (caged greed slippers, plaid knee boots, I'm looking at you) so I settled for the electrician outfit boots and their toxic-looking colour combo.

Turns out, the only way to defeat them is to match their freak and match their freak I did, thanks to the new free outfits. If dark green and neon yellow is what they want, dark green and neon yellow is what they get. This turned out slightly better than expected, and fits right in with the bibicoon club decor.

His similarity to jinshi makes me uncomfortable😭

But also the bEARD LMFAO

Edited: somehow with the different colour, it managed to look him much much more subdued than Jinshi's bright purple (i mean not bright but you get what I mean) something I do appreciate, cause that was his entire characteristics.

@starscall 30 Days Infinity Nikki Styling Challenge Day 7 - Florawish Styling

My first portrait-format photo, mostly because I was riding the wishing crane for the whoosh effect and there's no way to make it look good up close :(

What I'm going with here is what makes me look most like a florawish npc? The confession lace is a perfect dress for touring the sea...

Chapter 85 is now out, Shirahama posted the coloured version of the incredible chapter cover for this one.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go and stare at a wall after that chapter.

fuck terry pulling no punches in this one

@starscall 30 Days Infinity Nikki Styling Challenge Day 6 - Defeat the Sovereign of Cool

"Hark, Dread Queen Aderinna, for I am come," cried the radiant Princess Nikita, "to annihilate thee once again!"

"Insolent brat," said the Queen, "return when thou'rt not dress'd like a crony of the mouse animation studio."

"Thou shalt regret thy words," parried the Princess, "when thou art trounced by Wilhelmina the Mouse."

(And trounce her I did... barely.)

So reigneth bright, the sovereign, forever and a day.

my favorite thing about Corporal Carrot is that he’s a romantic hero plopped right in the middle of the greediest cesspit of a chaotic neutral city ever to debase the pages of literature, and yet instead of having his shining idealism destroyed by an uncaring reality, he makes reality embarrassedly put down the weapons and agree to make nice, and then mutter an awkward “Good morning” whenever it passes him on the street.

@starscall 30 Days Infinity Nikki Styling Challenge Day 5 - Save slot #2

Since save slot #1 is named Mary after Mary Crawford, save slot #2 is named Fanny after Fanny Price, protagonist of Mansfield Park, foil of wicked, uncle-badmouthing, gold-fishing Mary.

The Endless Longing shawl goes very well with that one white sundress to produce a sort of movingly pretty but also kind of sickly effect, because Fanny can and will drop dead without her Daily Horse Rides. The neckline is a tad low, but nothing can't be solved with the Aurosa collar. (Bonus: it comes with a little necklace, just like the chain she hung her crush's cross on)

Fanny might strike one as having a stick up her arse, but she's one of my favourites among the Austen protagonists. It's something about slowly but surely growing a backbone in an increasingly disillusioning world while never losing hold of her compassion.

Well, it’s finally finished.  It was a genuinely satisfying project. I present you Ankh Morpork in the guise of Google Maps.
