I'm totally a grown-up, really.

If my pairing were a Converse, this would be them.

I'm bigger on the idea of a nested shoe more than I am on the actual look of it. I like the idea of Blossom on the outside, and there's more white than black on the shoe because in both cases if I switch it up it looks too much like Brick is dominating and I don't play a deck with those kinds of cards in it. But the look is just way too busy and complicated. I'll probably revisit with the regular Converse, but make it more subtle (read: SOMETHING FUCKING WEARABLE). And of course I'll post my dickery here.

Not crazy about the "personal id" text id'ing the pairing, but I will say it looks marginally better in lowercase, which I can't seem to get the customizer to do. Boo.

Also going to mess with the Blues and Greens when I get the chance (both the crazy nested versions, just for kicks, AND the versions that would actually function as wearable shoes).

I'm a nerd and I motherfucking love it

Wow, this is an awesome idea!

Made the show prominently Dark Green because to me, it seems like Butch would have a bigger part in how the Green's relationship goes. Buttercup can more easily take things in stride and overcome them, but I think for him it would be much harder.Added some Blue and red as well, mostly because Buttercup and Butch are really quite dependent from their siblings and I honestly think they are the least likely to ever break off from the group, permanently. Also added because I like it when things don't match. Made all the 'white' areas off white since both of them tend to have more tainted emotions, but they do have them and feel them quite strongly (hence why the shoe doesn't have a lot of black, as that is the absence of color and the greens are very 'colorful'.) Also took your text idea, sorry. If I ever...bought the shoe >.> I'd probably take that part off anyways.

Aha, I really like your reds shoes and completely agree with keeping Blossom on the outside and giving her the more dominant color scheme/areas.

Oh what the balls. I think I inadvertently deleted it when I was tooling around with the layout changes lj made.

ANYWAY. basically what I said was WATCH THE ENABLING, I PURCHASED THREE PAIRS OF CONVERSES THE OTHER DAY AND THERE IS NO REASON TO ENCOURAGE ME

Yeah, you're right about there being no reason to encourage you. YOU'VE ALREADY GONE AND DONE WHAT I WOULD HAVE ENCOURAGED YOU TO DO. CLEARLY YOU DON'T NEED MY HELP!

But I mean, a girl's gotta have shoes amirite?

I would so buy those shoes! Seriously, it's amazing the symbolism that goes into that shoe! I can't wait to see the Greens and Blues version.
