Self-affirmation For Cisgender Kids Vs For Transgender Kids

tl;dr : TOO YOUNG

when u get connverse and pearlmethyst in the same ep

There was like 3 steps and some rules: 

1: PRELIM RESEARCH

I compiled like a collage of all the pearl outfits I could find to illustrate my point but basically what I did was look at every official instance of a pearl from Kat Morris’s potential pearl regen outfits and pilot pearl to Yellow and Blue pearl in the last week. PEARLS ARE FANCY and homeworld is basically just as fancy! So after looking at all of em I boiled down 4 design rules:

Identical anatomy

Generally form fitting clothing

1 or 2 sheer elements that seem to be the feature of each design

Diamonds, Diamonds everywhere

Aim for simple elegance (I strayed from this rule a couple times but it was a rule)

2: SECONDARY RESEARCH

Honestly most of the pieces came together pretty naturally once I saw Vivertido’s diamond murals. Even in some of the diamond/homeworld designs we’d seen in previous episodes I’d read a lot of Deco from them?? Maybe just because I like art deco, who knows, but more or less around 50-60% of the pearl designs stem from or simply are callbacks to a lot of art deco and more specifically Erte’s fashion sketches which are simply wonderful.  Additionally I had an inherent sort of design-meandering back to some of the fashion I’d seen from when I was researching for Cordless/Moonstruck– Gareth Pugh is a huge influence on a lot of these designs. Also basic ballet costumes, gymnastic leotards, and various cirque du soleil costumes kind of wormed their way into some of the concepts.

3: JUST…. DO IT

That was pretty much it, like I picked elements from designs and costumes I liked and mashed em together. SEEMS KINDA DISAPPOINTING but like they all just kind of came out :| Some of them were straight homages to fashions I liked (ie: Olivine and Forest Green reference specific Erte pieces) but most of them were just mixing design elements with common themes.
