Dracula: the danse macabre but it’s just Mina being in sapphic love with Lucy

[anadorablehedgehog]

while i know it probably won't ever happen, i still hope that one day the world will realise how great the darkest minds series is and they'll make a tv show about it like they did for the mortal instruments and percy jackson.

My costume designs for Mina Harker in Dracula: The Danse Macabre

Right to Left: School Teacher; Waiting for News; Vampire Hunter; The Voice In Her Head.

School Teacher: Based on the typical outfits seen in photographs from the late 1880s early 1890s. The silhouette is similar to that of the 1880s but with a small vertical shoulder puff.

A full length black dress, flat boots, a white cotton blouse underneath. The lack of a bustle is expected by the mid 1890s and the puffs on the sleeves are small for the era but practical for a teacher. This is before the widespread introduction of the straight-front corset and so Mina has a high collar and collar stays with a long line bodice. This isn't the height of fashion but not rocking the boat.

I kept Mina's school teacher design simple and conventional with a simple but practical bun and white gloves. She is restrained by the expectations of her gender and position and dresses to conform.

Waiting for News: Masculine styles were becoming more integrated into women's fashion and as Mina starts failing to conform as much and fights to protect Lucy, while also maintaining her place in society, I tried to give her an outfit that speaks to that duality. Her hair is based on portraits from the era and is a little fancier than her School Teacher bun. She wears white gloves and boots and a blouse with a high collar. The dress was specifically designed after the dress Gertrude wears in the 1895 Punch cartoon on the Bicycle Suit. Mina, despite her private frustrations, still isn't letting herself drop conformation. She is playing the role of Mina Harker and it's taking its toll. There are the puffed sleeves and expected silhouette. However, her colour pallette plays with the typical vampiric colours with the hints of red in her clothing. Her clothing here is her shield as she tries to play the role society expects of the wife waiting for news of her husband.

The Vampire Hunter: This outfit is a Victorian Cycling outfit with the split skirt and cycling jacket. Mina is on her mission to capture Dracula and thus needs to travel and move often. Her hair is braided up and she probably isn't changing her outfits often, focussed on her mission. The design in simple and practical and follows the "Rational Dress Movement" trends. She isn't wearing gloves and is getting her hands dirty.

The Voice In Her Head: here, Mina is embracing her Van Helsing heritage and the voice of Dracula in her head. This outfit is based on a 1898 style travelling outfit with a fashionable cape and hat. The cape is red with black lace patterning and the lace patterning around her collar of reminiscent of the traditional Vampire bite marks. The gap in the cape over her heart reveals her blouse which is white, showing that Mina hasn't let Dracula corrupt her fully, even as she is now integrated with the monster. Conversely, her skirt it white but with a red lining as she has Dracula's blood inside. The diagonal design on her skirt is fashionable for the time but is also reminiscent of the Christian cross which abjures vampires. Her cape's black lace also mimics the epaulette style as seen in her Waiting For News Design but also pauldrons as seen in armour. Her hat includes a red ribbon and a veil with red detailing as she is concealing the part of herself that contains Dracula from the rest of the world. Tucked into the ribbon are garlic flowers as used by Van Helsing in Dracula (Stoker).

I hope you liked these and go listen to @draculathedansemacabre

(Please forgive my lack of design skills and knowledge of historical dress)

forgot to post this on here 😭 finally did another TDM screencap LOL

Honestly now that I think about it, I'd imagine Eda would've definitely gotten along with Collin more genuinely than Philip with Luz. Collin was similar to herself as a child, so it was easier to resonate with the kid :P Still manipulated him though!!

screenshot I used!!

Little context for the French "shit" factory

So, the context is:

The French Minecraft community had been calling dirt blocks "bloc de merde" (aka block made of shit) since 2011 -ish. Because, you know, they are basically worthless and have a... very specific colour and pattern.

A couple of months back, Antoine Daniel and is group name "Team du Lundi" (Baghera and Étoiles are also part of it) made a Minecraft server to play for a couple of weeks.

It was Antoine first time playing Minecraft, so he didn't know how to do anything. So instead of going mining, he decided to make his home with the first block he could find and destroy by hand (I let you guess what it was...)

So was born "La tour de merde" (Tower of shit) or "TDM" it was just a pile of dirt that Antoine spent 5 hours to build, and he was really proud of it (with reason, look at this!)

He then spent many stream trying to make her beautiful. The peak of his carrier. Magnificent ! (if you're a bit oblivious, the joke is that it's a tower of shit and can't be made beautiful)

At the end, it looked like this:

So, the TDM and Antoine inability to play minecraft normally became a running joke in the community

Now, back to the present, the French arrive at Quesadilla Island and wanted to start building.

Antoine said he doesn't want to do the same thing again, he wants to reinvent himself.

Bags and Pierre tried to convince him to still use dirt (merde) as the main block for his build. To do so, Aypierre said that he will build a Dirt factory so Antoine could have INFINITE SHIT!

Antoine accepted the deal and the "usine a merde" was born.

Aypierre and Baghera realized that calling dirt block "Shit block" was a French only thing, and proceeded to confuse everyone on the server while giggling like maniacs...

Here's the full story! I hope this post will help to explain some things (not every french-speaking person is crazy, I swear! )

The Dubai house looks like a set up. Armand would be all like, "This time I won't save your life" And if I was Danny, I would've been like, "Girl, fuck you and this Ikea show room."

In the books Ruby says that Clancy's hair is brown and lighter than hers. But everyone draws him with black hair.

So I now head cannon that Clancy dyes his hair black. Imagine him sitting in his office at East river and hair dye all over his desk and paperwork.

He refuses to admit he dyes his hair.

During ita his roots are showing bad. One of the things Cole bribes him with is hair dye.

Couldn't stop drawing these two last night ✍️💀

Dracula: The Danse Macabre has completely stolen my heart. 🖤
