#black widow bride

[grim-girlying-ghost]

I figured now that I’ve got an entire sideblog just for this fandom, I would occasionally post some old-ish sketches every now and then in between the newer fanarts and textposts. So here:

1) The werecat lady, who has no canonical name so I just call her Catherine (ignore the couch, I can’t draw furniture for the life of me)

2) Sally and Catherine with my melody and kuromi cause I thought it was cute and the aesthetics matched (I will make a sanrio reference out of literally anything and you can’t stop me)

3) Brides galore. Emily, Constance, and Melanie ft the phantom looming in sinisterly (also my interpretation of Emily is mainly based on the Tokyo bride cause I adore how she looks)

Dear father…

“Dear, sweet Constance. Poor child! Poor, poor child. Did you know that her mother supposedly killed her father in a fit of rage? Found an axe and took his head off in a single swipe. It’s supposedly still in the house somewhere, just bones and a wandering spirit. Mon dieu! How tragic. How horrible!���

I like to think Constance taking the heads of her husbands is a learned habit. It was, after all, what mother did to father when he threatened to leave them.

‘When a man threatens to turn tail, or has eyes for a younger broad, take his head so he’s yours forever. Don’t let that dog run, Constance. Best to put him down swiftly.”

At least…that’s what Dame Peatcleaver used to tell her young daughter when she allowed her to hold father’s beheaded skull, a hatchet still in his head.

This was a quick project that I did for Halloween last year. The concept sprung from watching old films like White Zombie and Dracula.

I've always kind of been fascinated with the idea of a bride that was left at the alter or her groom was murdered just hours before the wedding and in her grief she throws herself from a cliff (or tower, or window, the list goes on) all for the sake of lost love.

So in honor of that age old story I created a 1920's flapper bride out of an old grey bed sheet and draped old toupe colored lace over. The result was actually very nice.

Later that night though I actually ended up being a zombie because I couldn't resist the scare factor. :)

Ghostcore is an aesthetic revolving around ghosts, spirits, cemeteries, and the eerie feeling surrounding them. Ghostcore involves two different factions, one focuses on death and the philosophy behind the meaning of life and death, and the other faction takes the macabre and depressing and makes light of it. People may often relate to ghosts or wish to live as one. This provides a similar overlap with Voidpunk, and is a part of the Otherkin community. The aesthetic of ghostcore is described as "dark, haunted, and ethereal-like landscapes, cemeteries, the spiritual world and connecting to it, haunted artifacts, dark and mysterious history, legends and ghost stories, and more" according to a private Ghostcore Facebook page. The community is open, casual, and accepting of all who are accepting of them.

My "Cutie Spookies" Inktober 2023 Collection! Day 22: The Bride (Constance Hatchaway)

You can buy this 5"x7" artwork on my website:

It is an original art piece, so, there's only this one! But I'll try my best to draw a new character every day! All arts sold for this "Cutie Spookies" collection will go straight towards helping to pay for Moxi's Surgery and her recovery for Luxating Patella!

So I watched the Haunted Mansion trailer and

Just like I feared. The ghosts are evil and murderous instead of just scaring for fun and forever resting in peace with parties every night and must be cast away and fought as if they were there for a curse because it is the EASY way too attract a mainstream kind of audience instead of counting on the fans, their (THEIR) mansion must be freed for dumb humans to live there because it's ONCE AGAIN an estate plot, the humans we don't give a shit about are the main focus and appear more than the ghosts in the trailer despite how we have oh I don't know 999 potential characters to have as main characters instead, and again Disney wants us to forget Emily ever existed and just wants to impose Constance everywhere and tries to have her be the MAIIN EEEEVUUUL instead of just one ghost whose gimmick is to be the ghost of a wedding-themed black widow

The ONE good thing is how Hattie looks. I had my fears, but he looks cool and faithful to his ride self. I hope Jared Leto won't ruin the role, but since the ghosts are apparently the villains he will unfortunately probably be too

God fucking dammit Disney why don't you know your own ride

WHY DID YOU LET US DOWN GUILLERMO DEL TORO

Killer Queen

—

I refuse the statement that Constance has to be outwardly spooky in order to be ‘sinister enough’ for the Haunted Mansion. No. No, no. She’s a very pretty, charming, elegant woman. She caught the eye of five rich men with barely any effort at all. She’s not going to pull an axe on them the first night. She held them down until marriage.

Pretty girls can be killer queens.

The cast member playing her at the HM premiere is EVERYTHING. She has me in a chokehold and is a perfect Constance 🥰🪓 I’d give her my head any day of the week.

So I'm a bit confused regarding The Bride (Emily) and Constance. People say they are the same person, but why do they have different names? Was Emily just a fan name?

I might as well document my trip into insanity Halloween costume making process for. I'm not sure what for, but someone will probably get a kick out of it.

So, for Halloween this year I am going as Constance Hatchaway, aka the Black Widow Bride from Disney's Haunted Mansion!

However, I am crazy and decided instead of just getting an old wedding dress and calling it a day, that I was going to make a historically accurate version of what she would have worn! (Hence the insanity)

So far, I have the patterns, half of a 1700's pocket (I needed something to keep my hands busy while I waited for my patterns), and a sewing machine. May the dressmaking gods have mercy on me, I have never made a dress on my own
