#costume design IS my passion

18th century french court-adjacent outfits for my boys

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

trying to pin down color palettes for the Hollowick characters is like

"Well, Lux's whole thing is black, so he must be either a Winter or an Autumn. But I have NO idea what Nox could be."

1 week later

"Oh wait. They're identical twins."

*slowly opening the lid of my casket* did I hear Dracula the rock opera in the tags

Can we talk about the importance of costumes and the diconamy of man made to manufactured clothing. Mostly being preventlent in the manburg arc, the butcher army, and las Navadas? Mucho wool, leather and thread, vs silk, cashmere and mixed suits. Also the contrast of light and earthy tones to dark and vibrant ones.

Also- I like to think that the only thing manufactured about the lmanburg uniforms are the hats. Because that’s a unification.l and waving your hat to someone in lmanburg is a symbol of hello and gooodbye only to slowly turn into a symbol of help or run as time passes.

Actually no fuck this POSITIVITY TIME live action dream smp ideas

In certain scenes quackity could be shot in ways where the Las Nevadas needle overlaps his scar

Imagine the scene of Wilbur running to draw the Greater SMP’s fire away from the L’manburgin live action, imagine seeing a man run into a hailstorm of arrows and start to fire back one by one, long enough for his men to reposition (imagine that contrasted with the duel for L’manburg)

Imagine Schlatt’s speech echoing through radios and homes, and the shocked reactions of soldiers who fought side by side with these new exiles

Imagine shots in the prison where the camera is placed inside Dream’s cell looking out at, framing Sam as the one who’s truly trapped by Pandora’s Vault

Feel free to add on!

"In talking with Ken, we had decided that Asgard was inhabited by warrior gods, but that they live at the top of the Nine Realms. Their privileged perspective on the universe should be so advanced and elegant that it should not be cluttered with the normal details that we normally associate human beings with. The technology, the building construction, the methodology of their architecture is so advanced the human brain cannot even comprehend it." – Bo Welch , THOR (2011) Dir. by Ken Branahan BTS: "From Asgard to Earth"

BOOM

IDOL AU REFERENCES!!!

Because I'm a gay nerd and have idols on the brain fnnajdnsn this is just the first couple I'll be doing more for most of the relevant characters.

I have a little story cooking in my brain but idk if I should write it as fanfiction or draw it up as a comic. In any case! Drawing the outfits was super fun.

(Also ignore my messy writing. That's just notes for myself. You Do Not See the chicken scratch)

how can netflix continually have such huge budgets and still produce some of the worst vfx ive ever seen in my life. and its not even like 'where is the money going' bc i know they paid through the nose for vfx overtime there is just no fucking understanding or respect of the filmmaking process anymore bc you can make artists slave away for weeks and then in the final hour go 'actually we dont like this design can you guys just do a totally different new one' so none of the Creative Executive type assholes ever have to plan a thing out in advance

[theiloveyousong]

june saito should get a tumblr so us weirdos can ask her questions about her costume design

A 44 year old man goes to a K-Pop Concert

I promised you a report on the K-pop concert that I, a 44-year-old accountant, went to a couple of weeks ago with my wife and daughter in Toronto. So here it is.

The band we saw were Ateez. They're my daughter's favourite band and my wife's second favourite. I know most of my mutuals are similarly aged like me and may not be familiar with them so let me give you a brief primer on Ateez.

Imagine the most attractive eight men you can think of, just unfathomably beautiful specimens of aesthetic perfection, and make them sing songs that somehow combine the subjects of 'dancing like nobody is watching' with 'we live in a dystopian hellscape that we must all work together to overthrow'. Give them an ongoing music video story lore that literally nobody - not even the band themselves - understand, so that online discussion of their visual motifs looks more like the fevered rantings of a conspiracy theorist, complete with speculation about alternate realities and time being a Moebius strip. There is also a giant sand timer, for some reason.

That's Ateez. That's what you need to know.

Now, K-pop concerts are very different to the gigs I've been going to for the last 28 (!) years. There's no support act, for a start. Also the band perform for like, three hours, with breaks for costume changes and interpretive dance. Furthermore, hanging above everything is the constant looming threat of mandatory military service.

So this being my first such concert, I wasn't sure what to expect. What happened was difficult to explain, but I will try as I am already six paragraphs into this write-up and I'm too invested to stop now. Here goes:

In his Wicked + Divine comics series, Kieron Gillen places modern pop icons as deities, feeding upon and gaining strength from the worship of their fans at the altar of musical performance. I thought I understood that metaphor. I thought I understood it AS a metaphor. I was wrong, because that night Ateez WERE Gods with a capital G and we were their worshippers, a crowd emanating adoration (in the religious and non-religious senses), bestowing strength upon them and gaining their strength in return.

If that sounds weird, it probably is. But as pointed out above, I have lived over four decades and never yet experienced anything like the overwhelming passion of that crowd, the utter abandon with which they conveyed their love for the band.

"But Fuiru, what of the actual music?" you ask. Thinking back, there was a moment in one of their songs - I can't remember which - where I watched the stage, and the people around me, taking it in, and I thought, "Man, I just love Music". But that doesn't answer your question, sorry.

Ateez's music is bloody great. As a tiresome indie/rock/metal kid I'm resisting the urge to add the usual tiresome indie/rock/metal caveat of "...for pop music" because honestly that does it a disservice. They have some genuinely amazing songs. Halazia is an absolute fucking masterpiece that descends into furious hardcore breakbeat. Bouncy is a big, brash racket that somehow is also a perfect pop song. Utopia, Wonderland, and Guerrilla are similarly superb. The obligatory boy band slow number is represented by Dancing Like Butterfly Wings which will make you cry because you will forever associate it with your twelve year old daughter being pointed to and waved at by her favourite Ateez member (Seonghwa) because of her Seonghwa-branded lightstick.

That might just be me, though.

So in summary: being a 44 year old dad at his first K-pop concert rules and you should endeavour to partake in the experience if the opportunity arises.

Finally, for any Atiny reading this: my bias would be San or Seonghwa but my wife and daughter said they were taken so it’s Mingi. My concert outfit (designed and created by my offspring) reflects this.

THANK YOU, OP. A LITTLE LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

i am currently comparing a lot of recent theatre staging with it's predecessors and i have thoughts

like if you do sunset boulevard for example, stage that shit to the high heavens. use the old hollywood inspo that you have. i am actually begging theatre ppl to build beautiful sets again. (don't misunderstand me, sometimes minimal staging is great and works incredibly well) but oh my god.

IT IS NOT A BAD THING TO ACTUALLY SPEND MONEY ON STAGING, COSTUMING AND MAKE UP. IF DONE CORRECTLY IT WILL HIGHLIGHT YOUR CASTS PERFORMANCE.

especially if you have great source material to work with. just know that weird little gremlins in the audience delight in period accurate costumes (you can tell so many stories through outfits etc.) pls pls pls it's so much fun to see lavish sets/costumes/makeup paired with good theatre/ music.
