More Tomodachi stuff! Mostly clothes this time, haha. The Spamton city skyline dress is by @finforkys, I just love that design so much! I ended up having to do it twice since I did it as a robe first and the shape was completely wrong. I wish you could have long sleeved or no sleeved poofy dresses, but you've gotta work with what you got.

Zorn and Thorn look terrifying lol, I haven't thought about them in like a decade but all of a sudden they've popped up again. Why I love them so much remains a mystery to me...

Utena and Anthy's outfits were complicated but I did what I could! Don't have shorts in quite the right color for Utena but surely it'll pop up. Gotta have Chuchu for Anthy. And a simple Spaceballs shirt for myself. |D

Mermaid Evolution

Mermaids are completely unrelated to humans, rather they are fish with adaptions in mimicry. The ancestor was a large, ancient fish that preyed on wayward sailors with disorienting shrieks.

As time went on, they rearranged their bodies and minds to more closely resemble humans. Their gills detached from their skull and created a resonating cavity that turned their shrieks to song. Their fins changed to resemble appendages, including splitting the base in two and creating a pouch that could be filled with water, resembling a human chest when displaying.

Be careful when sailing, and when you hear a song that sounds too beautiful for human lungs, it is. Alter your course, and pray it doesn’t follow.

Did you know that beetle wings used to be sewn onto dresses? Like, hundreds of them on each dress? It's equally creepy and beautiful.

oh my stars, anyone have pictures?

Something like this I believe!

biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist

that’s one of the famous ones, a Lady Macbeth stage costume from 1888. apparently it wasn’t uncommon in victorian fashion:

we should bring embroidery like this back (but w/ imitation wings). we should all be walking around with beads & wings, clanging

Bring this back in 2019

There’s a youtuber who does historical sewing and costumery who did this recently

OH MY BEETLEJUICE

To everyone in the comments- No, the beetles aren’t killed for their wings. These jewel beetles have short adult lives (2-3 weeks) and the wing casings are harvested after their death to ensure their conservation.

The Victorians did not invent beetlewing art. This species of beetle is indigenous to South and South East Asia where beetle wing art actually originated. Thailand, India, Myanmar, China, and Japan all practiced beetlewing art before the Victorians. Most notably, they have been used for centuries in clothing and art in the Thai royal court. Queen Sirikit has promoted beetlewing art in an effort to revive Thailand’s art and cultural history. Queen Sirikit has also forbidden the harvesting of the wing casings prior to the beetle’s death to protect them.

Unfortunately, it is hard to find old Thai art online but here are a couple of examples.
