Process
Mocks I submitted:
I didn't think that 1) the Golden Scissors ticket would return to LV while the custom queue was still backed up, and 2) I would actually pick up another one for myself. I already had about half the GC needed for the ticket when it showed up, and I ended up buying giftcards and dipping into my savings account for my "last hurrah" ticket spree. So yes, I was one of those three crazy people who bought a ticket on Sept 10. (You're probably thinking now, so much for a last hurrah, right? Because yeah it was totally not a last hurrah lol.)
I had no idea what I was going to use it for at the time, since I yoloswag purchased it. There was an original idea I was originally going to use, but then I found a hair reference image that I rough pixel-mocked up, which I showed to my friends. They were quite drawn to this idea over my previous one (although I'd love to make both ideas happen eventually). I figured since I was fine to go with either hair idea and there was greater interest in this design, I went with the Cottontails as my final choice.
The hair was intended to be versatile in terms of the hair styles it could be converted to: pigtails, regular ponytail, side ponytail, short cut. I had intended for a similar cut concept for GS1, but I made a last minute adjustment after the ticket's acceptance. I also intentionally kept the scissors cuts simple, so I could still wear many of my favourite accessories with it without worrying about layering conflicts or Princess Clips clipping off a side of a horn. The name was decided after several days of thought, and named simply because the hair shape in a way resembles bunny ears. I don't like naming items, so this is the best you're going to get lmao.
To make it extra special (in my head anyway), I also submitted this order exactly one year after GS1.
Mocks were impressively fast - supposedly to make the deadline of the hair CI it was to be scheduled in? While the mocks showed deviation from the ones I sent in, I did ask for the product to look different, because I actually traced my mocks from a reference image that I lost. As well, I'm no artist, and would rather have the assigned artist do what they think best with the design.
I made no changes to the hair shape - mostly made colour changes, because I can never secure a final decision on those...

The description of the basic sets is an English translation of a line of lyrics from Mayday's "In the Blink of an Eye (轉眼)", with the original Taiwanese lyrics being directly quoted into the exclusive set itself. The song (at least from what I understand anyway) is set at a point where one is nearing the end of their life journey, recalling memories of the past, particularly with a loved one, and wishing that the memories with them won't disappear. Many of the song's lines resonate with me very strongly, in particular the one I quoted. If I could, I would quote the entire song, but I'd be stepping on copyright boundaries
lol
(Honestly, I would have saved this description to use for my original hair design if I ever found the chance to put it back in queue... but I was also not sure if I would ever get another opportunity to use another GS to lock in this description. My original design has a lot of sentimental value to me to want to release it as an SS, so it would have to be reserved for a future GS, platinum ticket, or not be created at all.)
