this past month i've been imagining what various OCs of mine-- some from a DECADE ago, some of which i've never talked about publicly-- would look like in MET gala style outfits! the theme was THE FOUR ELEMENTS and characters were sorted into whichever element i felt suited them best.
water | air | earth | fire
director's commentary below the cut!
Zeya Kade (The Gemini Heist). Zeya's look was fun because i didn't want to put her in a dress, and kept seeing all these cool ceramic corsets. the water theme is a bit more subtle with her, though. i wanted something moon-related as the moon represents mystery and Zeya has that mysterious air about her. the pattern on her corset is not marble, but ocean waves 🥲
Maeve Santana O'Reilly & Kitty Royce (UnSuper Squad). Maeve's look is just a simple military style jacket embedded with seashells; she's a pretty lowkey person stylistically but would still be faithful to a theme. her girlfriend Kitty has a cute, sparkly, wave-inspired two piece set accented with pearls. they're not the type of couple to fully match but they do complement each other nicely.
Marie-Claude Prince (Girls With White Teeth). MC is the daughter of a model and an online influencer so you bet she had to serve at this gala. she's wearing a literal mermaid dress, with a seashell bra and iridescent scale tail. while pretty, this looks incredibly impractical to walk around in.
Mila Freeman (Girls With White Teeth). Mila had to be in something cute, because she is cute. she's giving ocean princess in her little sparkly dress adorned in seashells, pearls, and glistening starfish. and perhaps her earrings whisper compliments in her ears like in Aquamarine (2006) bc god knows she needs it.
Blanche Saint-Pierre (Aurora Hearts: Mirage). Blanche is a very old OC (lowkey an Elsa Frozen ripoff lol) that i repurposed for a friend's universe. naturally i put her in an ice queen outfit.
Emma Chakravarty (Strangewayes Library of the Arcane). Emma is a grad student in magical theory. she's a bit of a refined girlie and i wanted to give her something simple but elegant, so a famous painting on her skirt felt like the move.
UnSuper Squad Character Intro: Katherine-Michelle “Kitty” Royce
Age at start of series: 21
Birthday: March 19th (Pisces)
Powers: Biological manipulation, panicking when there’s nothing to panic about
On the surface, Kitty has the perfect life: a higher-than-average IQ, two Master’s degrees at 21, a research job at the prestigious Galaxy Labs, and a rich, influential father. But she lives in fear that her powers, which can be used to heal--or hurt--will be discovered. When the Squad approaches her to help them catch super criminals, Kitty must overcome her anxieties and choose whether to deny who she is and what she can do, or use it for the good of those like her.
Other quirks:
has a cat named Cinnabun (aka Bun-Bun)
may or may not have a coffee addiction
has an IQ of 167 but like, 3 braincells
fount of useless science facts

THREE??? you SPOIL me 💖
i’m gonna gush about my three leading ladies from UnSuper Squad then!
🖊 Jack is, first and foremost, BABY. also i love how she’s so dang determined and optimistic, despite everything she’s been through and all her bad decisions, in the end she really just wants to do the right thing. she just needs to allow herself to feel a Serious Emotion every once in a while, though.
🖊 Maeve is such a babe. she’s hella smart and she knows it, and she takes crap from no one. her biggest issue though is letting herself be vulnerable and not trying to be all Tough and Strong all the time.
🖊 Kitty??? my sweet baby ???? my idiot genius child ?????? she just wants to LEARN about other people like her and feel like she BELONGS with them but she’s stuck in an environment where she just ?? can’t do that freely ???? and i just wanna HUG her
