Does this make my butt look big? [MINGLE POST]
Who| EVERYONE who wants in
What| Costume mingle post! Characters can try on their costumes for the first time and react to them with each other.
Where| The Anthramite Clothers' Workshop
When| A few days after everyone gets to adjust
Warnings/Notes| None!
"This is going to be great!" Ferro enthused. He got so excited he clapped his hands together a little bit, which made a dull, metallic ringing sound.
There were quite a few dressing rooms in the large workshop where the Anthramite clothiers worked and Ferro was waiting in the large area outside them all, eagerly waiting to see how everyone reacted to their new costumes. The Anthramites had done most of the designs, with input from their respective Legionnaires, but they'd started to let him help sometimes after he'd shown them some samples of his sewing, so he'd gotten to suggest some alterations this time, too.
He sat on a stool and kicked his legs slightly, idly looking over at one of the many mirrors around the workshop, but then he quickly looked away.
It wasn't that he disliked his reflection the way he used to. Back then, whenever he did, all he could think about was the ugliness that his mask was covering, but he'd finally made peace with that. No, he hated looking in mirrors because in their shining surfaces he saw his body shining back and it just made him think about how he might be stuck as living metal forever, never able to turn human again. He might never be able to taste food or feel people's hugs or --
Ferro decided to stop thinking about it and instead looked at some of the sewing patterns the Anthramites left out. They'd left the room for now, mostly because some of them was getting cranky at them trying to re-measure their inseams fifty times, so now he was getting to poke around in their stuff in a way he usually didn't.
"You don't really feel like a superhero until you put your costume on for the first time." He paused. "Well, actually, that's not true, you don't really feel like a superhero until you put your costume on for the first time and save somebody, but the costume part makes it feel more like you're a superhero than just the saving someone, because if you save someone in normal clothes you're kind of just a hero, so you need the costume for the super part."
[ooc: If you guys would like to make some visuals, there are a few superhero generators you can check out. 1 (f only), 2 (m/f, somewhat complicated to use but the 2.5 version is simpler so you can also try that), 3 (m/f, somewhat limited), 4 (m/f, not in English but easy to figure out, good options), and 5 (m/f, limited options, but simple to use).]

"Fishlegs would have his face in a book, spouting off the undoubtedly extensive history of why the Legion uniforms all look this way, and Astrid would've punched Snotlout for any number of reasons. Then she'd start poking my stomach, trying to set off my stabilizer fin for the nine hundredth time, and give me grief when she found out I don't have one anymore," he continued, with fond annoyance in the case of Astrid, more fond than annoyed.
Hiccup stared at his mask, his expression quickly matching Tadashi's own.
"Kinda just hit me, this is the first time in years I've had to do things without them. Even when I had things to do on my own, I could always count on them cheering me on. Or claiming dibs on my stuff if I died."
Toothless bumped his head into Hiccup's side, pointedly reminding the Viking he was there. Hiccup gave the dragon a half-hearted smile. At least he did have Toothless, but he wasn't going to bring that up to Tadashi.

"Yeah," he agreed sympathetically. "It's weird not sharing a room anymore."
He probably couldn't say with whom he was used to sharing without either a moment to prepare or his voice cracking, so he forced a grin and steered the conversation away. "Ah, the good old 'if this fails, I want your stuff' support. Good to know that's something that spans multiple universes."
