9 months later and i finally finished designing my bougie outer worlds captain, cosette haile 🪐

no gif this time, a lot of detail would get lost unfortunately 💔 you can read her short bio here!

at the beginning of the decade, a lot of black people still straightened their hair to some degree, and black women wore wigs as wigs were very popular across the board for all races during this time.

natural hair came into fashion during the mid to latter half of the 60s as it coincided with the black power movement. clothing should be pretty easy to research since we still tended to wear the things that were popular, BUT just as the natural hair movement gained traction, it wasn’t unusual at all to see black people wearing dashikis and african inspired prints toward the last half of the decade.

several black magazines like jet and essence are free to read on google, i would recommend looking at the covers for that decade. i always look to @vintagewoc, @blackinperiodfilms and @waheedpix for specific decades. black archives is an amazing resource but you have to really dig, since i don’t believe they sort by decade on their instagram. you can also look through my 60s tag!

i loved the boxing theme for monaleo’s THROWING BOWS EP that came out last year.

most people think cosette’s british accent is fake. the only people who would have an accent even similar to hers are rich people from byzantium. and there’s no way any of them would be caught dead doing half the things cosette does for other people. like umm she’s from britain, dude. like britain, earth.

cosette’s father, judge haile, opened an account in halcyon for cosette and her sister to live on when they arrived to the star system. since their ship was lost in space for 70 years, their relatives who made it to halcyon assumed they were lost or dead, stole their money, and somehow their descendants spent up ALL OF IT by the time cosette got out of stasis

"Robbie, have I ever told you how much I love playing golf?"

finally bit the bullet and made a gfm..

I can fix this. But how? I'll say you were lying. You'll do no such thing.

oh this is going to be very long!! but here you go:

cosette and max’s initial partnership is very professional, but they quickly warm to each other platonically. they have long, late night conversations about scientism and the plan, and cosette talks about life back on earth.

max finds himself very taken with her regal, yet, take-no-shit attitude. she is smart, worldly… and cunning when she needs to be. she’s glad to have another “adult” on the crew and admires max’s intensity and rambling wordiness.

that being said, they both have strong personalities and are already bickering like an old married couple from the second they land on the groundbreaker (this isn’t lost on parvati at all!) they’re getting more familiar with each other so it’s easy to needle and get under each other’s skin lol

this part is nsfw so im putting it under a cut
