Sweet Prince 2 Aesthetics

So, it's impossible for me to really put into words how these serials came together. Basically, I started Sweet Prince last year right after Compulsion because I knew I wanted to write about an older Rias, 

It was mostly going to be the funeral scene bur I needed another pallbearer and I kind of just added Haley's name for kicks. Then I decided to make the funeral from Twyla's POV and then I wrote the Luce getting a tattoo scene and Haley showed up in the apartment and he had tattoos for some reason too.I think I was going to keep Haley's past kind of fuzzy , but then I decided to write Bright Lines and as I wrote Bright Lines (and Arkham Academy) I just kind of layered back information and added things I was going to bring back.

 I've been wanting to write Haley and Luce in the same serial since I did a TDOSH where they breifly "met". In fact, Luce was originally going to be in the end of Compulsion but I couldn't quite fit him in.

Also, I'm currently playing with this side story about Jean's brothel but it's kind of...dark, When I was writing the sexy times scenes in UL3 I used this Tumblr list to help me and I kind of want to break it out again.

Okay, who's ready for some aesthetics (I think that's what the kids call picspiations these days)

Grace/Washington/Banner Family

So, the inspirations for Zacharias and Twyla are random photos I found  but Luce's is Sam Hueghan from Outlander with dark hair. It's crazy how much his hair color changes the way he looks. I also imagine Twyla with this coloring:

 

 Colette Santoro Aesthetic

In my head she rides a sports bike, but it's surprisingly hard to find images of women riding those kinds of bikes. I just imagine her with strong Mediterranean features and like Cara Delevigne eyebrows.

Haley Aesthetic

Keep Ruby Rose

My new picspiration for Haley is model Erika Linder. I am kind of obsessed with her look because she just kind of presents as either gender depending on how the light hits her, it's not so much about how she's dressed or her hair. length. Like to me, in this gif she looks feminine from the side and masculine when she turns her face.

Also,  her thing when she first came on the scene is that she kind of looks like a young Leonardo DiCarpio when she frowns. It's actually kind of fascinating to look at how much body language influences our perceptions of gender.

Also, yes, yes she did a photoshoot for some fashion magazine with Andrej Pejic... I think this is the future liberals want.

Sweet Prince 2 

Recap: Twyla Banner, the sister of Zacharias Washington, the next leader of the cartel is secretly friends with Colette Santoro, the daughter of a rival cartel leader and a motorcycle assassin.  They try and keep family out of their friendship and Colette invites Twyla to a concert. Twyla decides to tag along with Luce to deliver some medicine to her brother so she can gain some "good sister/daughter points." before sneaking out to the concert...
