That sounds horrible and tiring but also kind of fun

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

You dare hurt him (before I do)

Good evening I’m fucking losing my mind over Jellie’s coat color and genetics what do you fucking mean she has red patches I’ve never noticed that have been diluted to cream and that means she’s a tortoiseshell

Look!!! Look at that!!!!! That is red and if you look closer you can see it behind her legs and dispersed throughout her coat. TRICKY LITTLE GIRL!!!!

I’ve been thinking this whole time she’s a black silver classic tabby but NO she’s a black tortoiseshell silver classic tabby with white.

girl your genes need to CALM DOWN

Anyways I think that Scar has all the rights to make an entire theme park based off of her or something because she’s so pretty and cool.

And the reason I did all this research is because I’m making a fic where she has kittens that are called the Jamlets and I just need you guys to know how much work I’m putting into it and also that her kittens are adorable. Thank you that’s all.

The June Effect is getting to me bc this is the 3rd full rks drawing I've done TODAY. Man.

Ruikasa Week, day 4! Fantasy!

"Do you trust me?" in a world where magic is frowned upon unjustly. Rui, a lowly sorcerer showing Tsukasa, the kingdom prince that it's actually quite beautiful. I LOVEEE any and all fantasy aus
