I edited my post to include an explanation, sorry I forgot that bit previously !

I would like to see books similar to that of Hazel's design journal, from the various artists etc. Thats the only thing I can think of at this moment in time

In the same vein as Cece Field, I would loooove to see roller derby stuff. I was looking at the wheelie blades earlier and noticed we don't have any standard bike helmets, knee pads, and elbow pads!

I hope Lyrical Warador will happen soon. We got updated Warador wands and footwear but where are the rest of the clothes? Also, I would dress up as a Dillema lol.

-- I put Este Evvu stuff on lady avatars all the time. You're right about Dee Layla tho.

It is not like you can't use the items on a female HA, I would just like to see a set focussed on a historical female warrior (or war adjacent figure/profession).

was the staff member who used to draw Rainyday (and Shimmer, for the 'Cowgirl' and 'Princess Lolita' lines before that), but then they started doing Delish for the past few years. Now it looks like they're gone so I guess those lines are, too.

is the staff member who did the Argo lines but hasn't released anything for that in a loooong time, as well as Professor New, which I'm guessing is their current design focus.

is the staff member who designed Junko, Eddie Bell, and Este Evvu. What they're working on nowadays is anyone's guess, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

did a bunch of the older lines, but I can't remember which ones except like the InClover??? I think??? She's gone, so those lines are, too, unfortunately.

did the Mimi Moe and RoQ Candy lines, but I think they're mainly working on the cash shop's Viv lines now.

I don't know who drew Bow-E, Cece, Dapper So, Dee Layla, Giselle, Hazel, Lyrical, Marez, Romero, Royale, Siren, Sougara, or Verdi lines. I think these are all anonymous or one-off lines by different site artists, idr. It's been a while since I was involved in the SBQ drama, sorry!

IDK, I think the current design focus is rather squarely on Eddie Bell (eh), Romero (we have 2 new Romero lines in the shop right now) and Royale, who is probably my personal favourite designer.

Warrior woman outfits would be great, don't get me wrong. I just can't help thinking of Este Evvu Skipari as incredibly feminine with all the floral details.

does Delish (and Vanity and the hair coupons !) I couldn't remember if she did the Rainyday line or if it was Illusion or Darling, AHAHAHA

Lava does a lot more than just Argo and Professor new cough abouthalfthelinesintherecough

Pie actually left a while back and just wasn't updated to show that. They left about the time Mimi Moe Pride came out (it was basically their goodbye). Also, they did Verdi.

I really don't think Eddie Bell has been a design focus. The last three Eddie Bell lines were: Released: October 20, 2019 Released: June 24, 2017 Released: June 30, 2017 Twelve lines between the ones from '17 and '19 (RoQ Candy, Siren, Bow-E, Romero, Cece, Siren, Mimi Moe, Junko, Lyrical, Royale, Professor New, Dee Layla), and 5 since the one from '19 (Romero, Romero, Lyrical, Royale, Professor New); and who knows when another will be released.

It's possible I overestimate the presence of Eddie Bell. It's also possible that I think Sure Bet hasn't been around for over a year because it's only been turning up in the shop regularly for a couple of months, or so it seems, but I freely admit that quarantine life has destroyed any semblance I ever had of a time sense. :)

Romero and Royale, though.

Quarantine life has messed with all of our concepts of time, honestly. Personally, I want more Eddie Bell. It's by far one of my favorites.

Thinking over some things here's a few ideas I'd like to see, not sure which designer they'd work under but eh... have at it really whoever can make it work if they like the idea.

--Flowy/Sheer/Wispy--

Semi-sheer layered dress, faded tights, flowy trail that's translucent. Long flowing scarf, soft chains for around the legs and arms. Delicate headpieces and belts. Wig could be short or long, whatever works.

Thinking pale green or blue or maybe white... any color that we lack a nice pale shade of.

--Accessories--

Basically this would just be all kinds of accessories each line could contribute to. Maybe once a month a new accessory could be named and each designer could add 1-2-3 items to the list. Like scarves, sashes, bustles, trains, headpieces, bows, etc. It would be really cool to see something that wasn't quite a set but more so add ons to go with pretty much anything. High end stuff too.

Hope this makes sense.

Wispy? Like that tree character from the Kirby series?

If that's what you're referencing I'm down. :)

I'd suggest a moonlit or crystal line if those haven't been done yet.

Oh, did Illusion change her UN to Alyssa? That would make sense! (And make me happy, because that would mean there's a slim chance there's still hope for Rainyday!) Dang, Lava's busy. and creative. Sad to hear about Pie and Verdi, though.

For some reason I thought Illusion and Alyssa were different artists XD My damn brain is a goof. I should update the list of active lines to include Shimmer since technically it's active.

Oh, also, I am pretty sure Arbor did the Hazel line before she left. I know staff like to try to keep things "so totally a secret" as to who does what, so I won't comment on the other lines.

Oh whoops I forgot about Arbor!!! Didn't she do one of the older lines, too? Like Poison or Zodiak or or one of them? Neither of those sound right but I don't recall...

She did a few, I think. I am pretty sure she did The Court Jesters and I think maybe ThistleThief (but that may have been by Alice). ... This makes me want to do an entire list of who did/does what. o-o

Mimi Moe isn't exactly dead. Has the Pride line even retired yet?

I wanted to like the Shimmer lolita line but from the POV of an actual lolita most of it is really awful. I don't know where people get some of their ideas about what we wear, but it's frustrating sometimes. Most of the really good lolita items on the site are CWs, Mimi Moe (especially the Abigail set), or Royale.

I love Shimmer Cowgirl tho.

Eddie Bell for me is a piece by piece very yes or very no situation. Although I do like every single piece of the LoliPOP line.

I don't follow SubQ all that much, but some lines have been really lovely! I think it'd be interesting to have lines sort of like the Lyrical line, only instead of pets, it's different areas of subeta. I think they'd end up being semi-Elemental (Arctic Frost = Ice, Atebus = galactic/space, etc), which could end up being really neat.

I also love the Dee Layla series a lot, so I'm voting for more of that line!

Heck yeah! Bet the Darkside line would be badass!
