    Well, both Snow White and Rapunzel are definitely plain old central European fairy tales and as such would allow any kind of interpretation for this CC.
     

    That being said, I would think it is save to assume that if you took any likeness to the Disney movie versions of those stories, you would get ripped by the admins, given their touchiness about trademarks.

     

    Okay, that makes sense. Maybe it should be interpreted as characters that were created exclusively for Disney were not allowed. Or even, like you said, a movie version created just for Disney.

    Hmmmm, now that will be interesting… Thinking about this I would say my favorite dessert is Creme Brulée… or Kaiserschmarren…

    But I have absolutely no idea yet how to put either of THAT into a costume!
     

    I will probably dress up Bananiac again in some way. Choice of LVL45plusses is growing, but still limited…

     

    Creme Brulée would be various creamy shades of yellow, orange, brown. Like Mister Marzipan, LOL, just use that costume again and alter the colors a little!

    I worked on Key Lime Pie last night and also struggled with how to make white whipped cream trim on slick green filling.  I made like 6 different costume designs and don't like any of them. LOL. All the white fur pieces which would be great as whipped cream have a grayscale tone to them so it just looks like dirty whipped cream. No dirty cream on my pie, thank you! You should make Bananiac into a Banana Cream Pie!

    I have to say, however, that this CC theme seemed to be too unspecific… I failed to recognize any relation to any fables, lores or myths that I would know of at a good deal of the entrants (some of which still looked stunning nonetheless, of course, but a little explanation in a bio here or there would likely have helped).

     

    I agree, it is too complex of a concept to rely on visual alone, and I wish the contest had combined bio with costume. I made a Rapunzel character but visually she just looks like a blonde-haired girl dressed in scraps and rags and peasant clothing. And even her name would not give her away because of course I had to come up with an alternative for her real name, so I used Bellflower.  So I wrote her a story to make it complete for myself even if not part of the judging yesterday.

    Your character looks great! How do you mean right place at the right time, did you win?

    I also have to salute the Kraftwerk homage! Which brings up this question:

    @TrixieKixx, we all know your obsession with food themes by now 😉, but how about a „favourite musician/band“ theme for one of the future runs?

     Thank you, it was a lot of fun creating her. And now you've got my gears turning again! I already have a Rammstein, and now Kraftwerk, girl..... hmmm.. what other music themes can I dream up?  😄 I wonder if "Wish of Night" is taken?  Or Lamb of Goddess?  Now I'm thinking it would be fun to create Lene Lovich and name her "Lucky Number".... okay back into my design studio I go!

  5. I had a lot of fun today. About 2 1/2 hours for those 11 missions at a leisurely, but yet not slow, pace. Lots of XP, my archery/SR sentinel got from 42 to 46. And a lot of new badges for her.

    Thanks @Midnyte  for the Photo Ops, you got great ones. And for entertaining my Bananaplant, it sometimes can get restless. 😄

    And congratulations of course for dinging 50 with Embers, that feels like a special moment if this happens when on the team 🏆

    Thanks! She was the very first sentinel I tried, and loved it, but then water/regen was more fun, and then ice/rad was even MORE fun, so those 2 dinged 50 before her! So her time had come. 🙂

     

    LOL! Your whole post had me literally laughing out LOUD! Especially the part about us being obsessed with doors!

     

    Capturing Rich's "brung it" comment!  LOL, was trying to get everyone to do the "bringit" emote. Trixie complied! 😄

     

     And the Pepsi comment by you and Rich, brilliant 😄

     

    Have a wonderful vacation in Austria, I love it there, what little I know and remember from a trip another lifetime ago, and sorry your traps character will miss out, but there will be other opportunities!

    FYI...maybe we all show up 20 minutes early so Midnyte can get her pics and we can roll a little early to get Tyger out the door quickly? Is everyone okay with that?

     

    Good deal! The sooner we can start, the more chance she has of being able to stay for the whole thing.

    Something Wicked Sunday I was engaging, entertaining, and enteresting! Nine successful bank jobs and four new Invaders, Vandals, and Impounders. (Six on the team, but a couple of us already had the badges.) The Atlas Park job was a bit too chaotic, but we came together quickly for the remainder. Well done, villains!

     

    I had a lot of fun. Was able to get some bonus badges: Safecracker, Doorbuster, Hero Slayer. Looking forward to your event next week!

    I've just never seen so much xp dropped at once before, was that a mission or task force completion bonus??

     

    It was for the completion of the task force. The last mission was completed a couple minutes prior to that, but once the TF was rtc, that's when I got the 4 million XP, leveled to 50, and the 84 reward merits (worth 20 million inf).

    Love it.  Missed you guys this week!  I've never played Devices or Traps, so I have some work ahead of me!

     

    Me either! I made a MM, bots/traps and have been having fun learning it.

    Except ironclad beetles don't fly! 😞 😞 😞 

     

    Bug discrimination!!!!!

     

    LOL, you've got a point there, Rich. Maybe that's what my thought process was late last night. Looking for an emote that works in flight the same as standing, so that we could all get in the same pose regardless of flight or not.  🤷‍♀️

     

    I found that "bringit" that we all had so much fun with one time, works in flight. That might be funny dressed as bugs. It's worth a test. 🙂

    Just a Heads Up, looks like thanks to a strong vaccine reaction from last week I am gonna stay home today.

    Which means in turn that I am going to be there for the Theme Team. Looking forward to see all you pests hovering around in the Shadow shard! 😉

     

    Ohhhhhh 😞  Sorry you are sick, but glad you'll be joining us today!

  16. Some notes about our bug-a-licious gathering in the Chantry tomorrow to experience The Saga of Faathim for Justin Augustine.

    Completing the task force awards the accomplishment badge Protector of Kindness for blue-leaning players, and Thorn Crusher for red-leaning.    File:Badge task force ProtectorOfKindness.png

    Awards 42 merits (x2 for WST).

     

    Looking high and low for an insect-appropriate emote for us to do for a picture. Not coming up with anything! I even went down the list of costume change emotes. If there is truly nothing that fits an insect theme, let's just choose one that would look cool if done simultaneously. That can be done in fly/hover with a hold-stance so we can comfortably snap some pics without worrying about timing. Open to ideas! 😄

    There is no more Beat-Down. He changed his name to Wreckin' Ball.

     

    This guy is National Defense in disguise.

     

    No more Beat-Down! Then I shall delete Mourning Temptress.  I remade her when you asked about it but still a baby in Mercy.

     

    I remember National Defense. From our old Six Paragons group. Mine was National Holiday

     

    So glad you can join us tomorrow!!!
