This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. The piece likely originated with the 1955 film 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst. It is possible that it came from an earlier production, as 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓 did recycle some of its costumes.   The costume was used again in the 1961 film 𝑺��𝒐𝒘 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒔, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Oga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves.   Want to learn more, or see more costumes from 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓? Visit our website! Bit.ly/TudEliz228

me when a character who was completely powerless gains power and proceeds to lose themselves in the intoxication of it before coming to and being horrified by their own capacity for bloodlust

‘don’t you want your favourite character to be happy???’ no? i want my favourite character to be interesting. i want me to be happy. which sometimes involves my favourite character being in exquisite agony

they're divorced. they weren't even married. this isn't romantic. they're definitely not platonic. they're cinematic parallels. they are fighting the narrative. they slowly built their relationship. they rely and trust each other. they were aggressively thrown into this. they want to bite each other's head off. they kill for each other. they live for each other. they should kiss. they would put each other in a blender. they're insane. they don't even realise. they're fully aware of it.
