Was looking at Lunatic costume design. Noticed flares. Suddenly desired fanart re-imagining Tiger & Bunny characters in 1978-era American superhero comics. Fire Emblem and Blue Rose would both absolutely wear some sort of Mike-Grell-on-Legion-of-Super-Heroes* monstrosities. It is like the opposite of all those fics where Barnaby isn't a hero and is Edna Mode instead, where everyone wears costumes that are even less practical than what they're already wearing.

Am so rusty in re: writing that not even write-or-die on kamikaze mode is getting me past the "Why is my word document blank? :(" phase. Drastic measures may need to be taken. [edit: And the minute I whine about it in LJ I suddenly vomit up 500 words I don't hate and have a rough outline. This is like whining to guild chat about shitty drop rates to make drops happen.]


* For those of you who give fewer fucks about the Legion than I do, that would be the guy who put Cos in a corset and Saturn Girl in a bikini.

A lot of billowing cloth and sashes and swords? Actually that's how they'd design Ivan if he was an actual Japanese character, oh seventies comics.

THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE SAD :(((

Yeah, that would absolutely be ivan. he would have the most ridiculous costume. [Now I'm like lol ivan is danny rand in spirit, if not in powers/abiities]

actually, basing dragon kids off her current civilian outfit wouldn't be too bad, since that does give that aesthetic, being the bruce lee jumpsuit. hm.

If he were Japanese they would make him be a ~samurai hero.~ I'm pretty sure there was a Superfriend like that. (So uh, we can just ignore that particular reality for Kotetsu, obviously.) But yeah as it is...oh Ivan. He totally is Danny Rand. Does this mean Antonio/Ivan bromance? Because that's kind of weirding me out, tbh.

I just feel like there were a fair amount of jumpsuited heroes back then? It is an aesthetic I recall encountering. Usually more disco-type jumpsuits but same difference.
