so if it's real, then darling let me know

I wouldn't mind if you steal the show ✨️

Mohabbot + Steal the Show by Lauv

Okay, so I was totally gonna wait til Mohabbot Monday to post this, but with all the horrendous technical difficulties I soldiered thru and the literal days it took to resolve them all and export this monster (😩😩😩), I'm much too eager to hold off, lmao. Mohabbot Thursday it is!!

Anyway, I re-watched Elemental with a friend a few weeks ago, and was reminded of this song, after which I immediately decided I simply HAD to make a Jack/Samira edit with it. The overtly romantic vibe and South Asian-influenced sounds paired perfectly with them if I do say so myself. 😊💖

So, first things first, here's the kandi I have based on my comfort characters!

Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey:

Wade Ripple from Elemental:

A giant rotating cuff based on Wade, including a little Perler charm of him :3

Wilt Michaels from Foster's Home:

And here we have Jack from the Magnus Chase series. The Fs are supposed to represent the fehu rune, since, obviously, I don't have any actual fehu beads.

Now here are some based on random characters/things from my special interests. Starting with Ember Lumen from Elemental:

Then we have the song Steal the Show from Elemental:

Blooregard Q. Kazoo from Foster's Home:

Then we have Crazy Cap. It's the store brand in Super Mario Odyssey where you buy outfits and shit.

Obviously, I just had to make a Riptide bracelet to go with Jack.

This one says "I like the word moist, ok!?", just without the exclamation and question marks at the end. It's a reference to an Elemental fan animation by Kevin Temmer Tunes.

This one says "I'm a hot toe picker". Iconic FHFIF quote.

I mostly based it off of this glorious billboard.

This one says "Blades before babes", one of Jack's iconic quotes. I just had to add the aroace flag colors :3

This one says "An act of Clod". Goofy line from Elemental.

Eduardo from Foster's Home:

Then we have A113, the Pixar number:

It's not technically kandi, but this one is based on Bonneton, pride of the Cap Kingdom. I used these seedbeads instead of pony beads because when I tried to make it with pony beads, it just ended up looking like my N bracelet.

This one says "STAY DEHYDRATED". Obviously, you shouldn't consume Wade Ripple's flesh. /silly

This one says PISSS. It stands for Partying is Such Sweet Soiree I swear!

Uncle Amiibo (perhaps the nichest Mario character ever):

Ok now here's some based on random characters I love.

Flippy from Dog Man:

Derpy from KPDH:

Skid and Pump from Spooky Month. Gawd they're the silliest little kids I want to party with them all day

Rambley the Raccoon from Indigo Park:

Doey the Doughman from Poppy Playtime:

Lancer from Deltarune:

Then we have Proginoskes the cherubim from A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L' Engle. It's one of my all-time favorite books, and Progo's a big reason for that :3

Ralsei from Deltarune:

Then we have Ren Zotto, my favorite VTuber and pretty much the only one I actively follow:

Lauv - I Like Me Better

“We've been friends for years

And you were always here

Through my heartbreak tears 🫂

But none of them compare to you

//

I'm not afraid, I gotta say:

Oh, damn, I think we got potential

I call it how I see it, and I see it in my mental

Like, damn, I know we could be special

I'll sell you on the vision, but this heart is not for rental

//

Had a heart attack

When I told you that- That I love you back

You never said, but I always knew 🥹

You'll be the one (left) at the afterparty

//

I know you're with somebody, but your body shouldn't settle

Like, damn, I think we got potential

//

With a body like that, body like that I just want you to myself”
