This is Ghost from Girl Fight, she has some sort of sliding torso.
I think she was bending over when they put the electrical tape costume on her and then she realized they didn’t allow her enough slack to straighten up, but then the tournament started and she had to make do? The life of a pro-athlete that needs electrical tape sponsorships to keep doing the sport she loves :(

I don’t know if this was ever submitted already, but in case it wasn’t, here is perhaps a perfect example of “Helicopter Cleavage”, starring Yayoi Kuribayashi from the ninja/shinobi harem romcom manga/anime Mouse (from 1999 to 2004). Notice how her bouncing breasts actually switch and exchange positions from right to left and left to right when they rotate counter-clockwise!

No, see, this is part of Sue’s clever plan to kill Doom by smuggling bombs in her shirt to get close to him

Bleach Brave Souls is having a summer event and one of the characters you can get is Nel in a swim-suit. I get that she has a centaur motif with her powers, but I didn’t expect it to be taken quite literally when she’s not using them.
A rare beach snake centaur!

Here’s Heroic Mission’s knockoff D.Va, for anyone who wanted to see her. As far as I can tell, she was abandoned by her parents for being blind and raised by a kindly old man; before becoming a K-pop idol.
Here’s the video this was screencapped from (as source and incase it doesn’t load) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl_p4m8tA_I
And here’s Alpharad’s video, which gives a better look at not-D.Va’s face and an Engrish translation of her backstory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1laPqTLHvlw
The sad part is she’s the most sensibly dressed female character is the roster.
Backstory:
I asked in the previous Heroic Mission post that had knock-off Sombra for knock-off D.Va so I could have a knock-off Sombva ship xD

Hence, why I’m posting this. She actually looks pretty cool o: Also, disabled heroine is cool too

I like my ladies thin, almost see-through
Is she wearing the chain or is she the chain?
sonicsassgameremastered asked: As a Snake Person, this blog is incredibly offensive! (That's a joke i'm not actually a snake person (snerson))
or maybe that’s what you want us to think so you can continue to control tumblr at the highest level

When you run out of time and just smash two different dolls together.
Excellent representation of an early Clayface still figuring out how to take more seductive forms, imo.
