Tomorrow!!!
i think taylor swift wishes she was bisexual because she knows it would make her slightly more money. whereas sabrina carpenter wishes she was bisexual so she could have sex with someone who looks exactly like herself. and ariana grande wishes she was bisexual because she did too many designer drugs on the set of wicked and now she has kin memories of being glinda for real
they are the main characters. to me.
Thjazi's partner in everything learning of his death
“Let’s not make a spectacle of my brother’s passing.”
Hal, buddy, you are unfortunately starring in “The Spectacle of My Brother’s Passing: The Campaign”.
she's an angel, don't mind the horns and the sulfur <3
Tonight, we begin again.
this is what thaisha sees btw
they married young......... she left because thaisha fell in love with the world reflected in hal's art..................... he crafted a tapestry from his poetry so beautiful she couldn't help but leave to chase even the afterimage of that vision................... left behind her children to be raised by the man who helped her fall in love with the world entire....................................
Samfit update!
Yes, he's continuing with tradition:

What's fascinating to me about Thjazi Fang is that, in an actual fantasy book/series, he would have been our protagonist. The charismatic mercenary band leader, who became a hero and married into nobility, and then turned on the nobility when they showed themselves to be corrupt and/or oppressive to the people. The man with a fairy sidekick, who stole magical artifacts and had connections with all sorts of community members, a number of them shady. He's like what you'd get if you put Peter Pan, Link, Robin Hood, and yes, a bit of Griffith into a blender (albeit a Griffith who actually was the persona he put on in public, rather than ambitious to the point of sacrificing all of his friends for power). I love the concept of him, but what I love even more is that now we get to see what happens after the Hero dies. What do his friends and enemies do now? How do they deal with his legacy? How will they redefine themselves around his absence? I can't wait to see what happens next!
Honestly, if you ever see a manga character and think "Damn, their style is dope as fuck" 9 times out of 10 their fit comes directly out of a fashion magazine. Sailor Moon was wearing Dior. JoJo was wearing Missoni.
Not to downplay the skill of the artists adapting those styles to their characters, but that is why the drip is so clean.
Like, this is a piece of trivia I love to share and I think it's important for a few reasons. One is because it emphasizes how much great art is about study and reference. Artists learn from artists and it elevates their work.
Two, because fashion *is* art (which is maybe a less controversial take now than it was a decade ago) and it's important that we recognize when great fashion inspires us.
Three, because acknowledging how much time great mangaka spent studying fashion *is* recognizing just how much hard work and effort goes into their creations.
And also I just think it's cool as fuck.
Is someone gonna post some examples? 👀
From Sailor Moon at least these are probably the most relatively famous examples.
For instance! ☝️🤓
- Sailor Pluto wears the Karl Lagerfeld-designed Chanel gold chain dress from their Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1992 collection. Even the jewelry takes cues from the runway styling as worn by Christy Turlington
- Neo-Queen Serenity's dress is inspired by the Il Palladio gown from Dior's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1992 collection. It's not a full lift— the manga's version plunges in the back whereas the neckline of the original is fully straight, among other stylizing on the details of the gown
- Black Lady's outfit was inspired by the styling done for Kate Moss for YSL's 1994 print advertisement campaign for their Opium perfume
- Koan's whole look was based off the sheer jumpsuit with the feathered tutu worn in Mugler's debut collection from Haute Couture Fall/Winter 1992 (for the life of me I cannot find this model's name 😭)
Here’s an example from JJBA. Araki references fashion media a LOT in his art, especially with the signature JoJo poses people know and love. Here’s some more:
