It's like every week there's some new trend that artists get to jump on to on Twitter, and this was my latest attempt to do so myself~

The golden bikini trend, which was also a good excuse to learn how to do shiny metallic coloring~

I'm genuinely shocked at how well I pulled it off on this piece.

And speaking of pulling it off, Dusk might desperately want to do that with the outfit, but he should be careful...at least find something to cover himself up first 😂:

------------------------------------------------------

Not all of Dusk's headswap/TG scenarios NEED a proper backstory to them, but if i have one then by jove I'll try my best.

Twila took herself, Dawn, and Dusk on a trip to the beach. Dawn sauntered off to hang out by the boardwalk and have her own little adventures, which kind of irritated Twila as she was banking on her to do "girl stuff" with. Dusk was left carrying everyones luggage and supplies (though it was entirely on him as he offered to do it to appear more "macho".)

In a stroke of mischievous genius, Twila used her ice powers to mess with Dusk's collar, the thing that keeps his "Autumn Curse" stabilized.

In an attempt to induce the curse and activate it, Twila calls over a bunch of cute guys on the beach to try and held Dusk out. This embarrasses him enough to start changing, although the changes happen so rapidly that they cause his thin tanktop and beach shorts to threaten to rip to shreds.

Thinking quickly, he runs into the nearest changing room.

He panics a bit when he realizes that he's only thought to grab the duffel bag on his back with him, which was only filled with everyones towels and a single alternate outfit that Twila brought along.

Without much of a choice (unless he wants to go au natural with this body) he puts on the "WAY too tight for his busty figure" golden bikini top and bottom.

As he stepped out of the changing room, he cursed his figure for being so enticing and sensitive as the shiny gold of the bikini top caught the attention of every boy in the are, including the ones talking to Twila.

She'd have been more disappointed if this scenario weren't exactly how she liked it to be, with Dusk being all cute and embarrassed as he kept being constantly hit on.

Speaking of, Dusk was forced to put on his "girl voice" and attempt to get out of the swarm of cute boys surrounding him and complimenting him and trying to get with this new cutie on the beach without drawing too much attention to himself and outing himself as a boy normally. Politely declining all of the advances, he manages to find himself on the boardwalk. Unfortunately, the boardwalk scorching hot from the sun overhead and the only footwear in the duffle bag were a pair a of matching golden strappy heels.

Admittedly, Dusk DID think the heels were cute...but he still acted as if he was "begrudgingly" wearing them.

Admittedly at this point, he didn't have much of a plan, and people were still checking him out, heck probably more so since the boardwalk had a ton more people. Maybe if he could find Dawn she could help him out?

Going back to Twila wasn't an option.

It wasn't much of a plan, but it was something. Arching his back and remembering to walk daintily since he was in heels, he strut his way across the boardwalk in search of Dawn. He just hoped it would be soon, he could FEEL everyones eyes on him as he bounced along, hips swaying and bust wobbling thanks to his proportions.
