Since he’s fourteen, I’m rather thankful for those feathers, although I do have to wonder where he got them.
Those are your standard magical-transformation-censory-items. Sometimes they appear as stars or twinkles or other thematically appropriate objects, but they all block the observer’s view of the subject under going the transformation just enough that no one gets arrested.
And they are more complicated magic than they appear, considering they work in situation like this with hundreds if not thousands people watching, each from little different angle …
Best way to remove contacts, yeah?
Y’know, I’ve always wondered whether maybe one day I should get contacts, although honestly I wonder if anyone would recognize me these days. I’m 20/70 as an adult, but I was actually 20/15 until I was about 12 for some reason. (…what you might be thinking is a myth, I’m told.)
I can’t wait to see the two publicists bitch about this and get shut up by the new wave of polls.
Based on the strip where the WiB went to watch Cedar and guaranteed she wasn’t the only time-traveller in the crowd, those publicists might be out of a job soon.
Now that I think about it, when I first read that strip I assumed Cedar would become a full-time magical boy soon, and it seemed to be coming up in this storyline… but Altissimo and Cadenza! Newly-introduced characters with interesting designs! Surely this isn’t the last we’ll see of them? I guess Cedar might be trying to balance both of his callings for a while yet.
Poor boy has been told what to do his whole life. That magical girl outfit might be the first time he got to pick his own digs and well he’s never had to learn to coordinate on his own. That’s why it’s a mess of stuff he likes but they don’t look cohesive at all.

I love the little PING as the glasses appear
