Two Truths And A Lie Tag Game

Two Truths and A Lie Tag Game

Thanks for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck! I'll be using Michael from Asteria Heights (fantasy murder mystery), one of Meg's closest friends as she tries to solve her neighbor's murder!

This was fun! Would love to do it again lol. I'm very curious to see the results of this :D

@starlitpage, @the-down-upside-finch and anyone else who's interested :D

just a reminder:

a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair

a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time

a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself

a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive

not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls

the sexism we face overlaps, but it is not the same

Character Inverse Tag

Thanks @mysticstarlightduck for the tags! I'll be using Crown of Blood <3

Rules: Write who you think your character’s opposite would be!

Original Adrasteia (and Lilia?):

Ironically, she kind of already has a canon opposite. I hadn't intended it that way necessarily, but when envisioning who would be her exact and total opposite, I realized I already have one in Lilia, lol. Lilia is kind where Adrasteia is cold. While Adrasteia is conniving and manipulative, Lilia is honest and earnest. Adrasteia is largely jaded, with tiny spots of vulnerability that she desperately hides and buries. Lilia is somewhat naive and open, despite her upbringing, with rare moments of strength. Not even she always knows what buttons need to be pressed to set her off- essentially, the quintessential "perfect female protagonist" seen in many fantasy romances. As such, Adrasteia is her "perfect villain".

Cassius:

His opposite would be someone who comes across as awful or mean or off-putting, but is actually really nice and genuine. Probably socially awkward, a really bad liar, and not very conventionally attractive. Also poor (omg same). Someone largely unambitious and go-with-the-flow. They'd also be pretty bad at fighting, and probably doesn't have magic.

The Whitehalls (This is multiple, but honestly they're all very similar):

Charitable, good-natured people who just want to see the world become a better place day by day. Loves their family members and wants them to just be healthy and happy, wherever they end up in life. Wouldn't care about social status or politics at all (beyond doing their part to make the world a better place)! Surprisingly good in a fight, very brave people!

Fenris:

A very chill, calm, open person who is super secure in themself and doesn't use false bravado and arrogance as a coping mechanism. Very knowledgeable about the world and has a really good relationship with their family. Has all the love and security they need in life and has clear and realistic goals that they're actually capable of achieving. No magic, but they're academically gifted and has lots of genuine friends. Probably really self-disciplined.

Hope y'all liked it!!! Let me know what you think lol. I hope I did it right!

looking for new writeblrs to follow.

hello, hi, yes, my dash is looking pretty dead so as the title says, i'm looking for new writeblrs to follow. i would personally prefer to follow people who are 18+, but other than that if you're a writer please interact with this post so i can check out your blog.

Heeyyyy hope you don't mind, I found one of the pictures I was talking about when I made that post about fusion fashion!

This was once a furisode that was turned into a tea gown! I wish there were more examples, but so far this is the only actual image of a real physical example. I just really love the idea of mixing patterns/fabrics and cuts to create new styles!

As I said before, I've found a lot of more modern examples, which aren't exactly what I'm looking for but they're the closest I have besides this! They're mostly Taisho-era-style, but some of them mix other stuff in and I think it's so pretty!

Like, I just LOVE the half-corset + blouse + kimono-style top overlaid! I realize Japan/east Asia already kinda "remixes" Western clothing in a way that makes it more to their own tastes, but I'm envisioning that kind of spin on more historical clothing. I haven't pinned the eras or specific countries down yet, but I'm getting there!

A lot of the "medieval" clothes are usually drawn and don't have physical examples either, so it's always a gem when I can kind of find something to bounce around in my head!

Some of these aren't Japanese (I know a few of them are Chinese, not familiar with the others), but I tend to focus on that since that's what I know. Still, I really like the other styles as well, and I think they're great inspiration, so I added them too!

Ok I think I did enough now, lol. Sorry for going on and on! I just get really excited. Do you also have any inspo pics/stuff that you're planning for your WIP? I'd love to know!

WOWOWOWOW YES OMG OMG AHHHHHH I LOVE THESE SO MUCH OMG YESSSSSS😍😍😍😍😍 This is my favorite style, unironically, 100/10, would wear any of that and/or put any of these on a character amazing AHHHHH
