Eliza Scarlet's Outfits in Miss Scarlet & The Duke S1-3

A Visual Guide

Disclaimer: This is primarily based off of me going through my caps, and there's always a chance I have missed something and/or typoed.

I have lightened some of the caps, but I did not recolor them, so they might still appear darker to you depending on your device.

You'll also see that some outfits photograph/films differently in different lighting, etc.

And obviously I don't include every scene an outfit is worn in the collages; it's just examples, outside of the first and last appearance caps.

(also I didn't label some of episode stills because originally I was just uploading the original files, but then had to make them collages too when I ran out of room. And sorry William et al., I had to crop you out at times).

I also did not really keep track of when she changes up her ties or hats with outfits, but she doesn't really mix and match until S2.

Open the images in a new tab if on desktop to get the larger image to zoom in.

The first outfit we see Eliza in ever (1x01), and the bit used in the opening sequence

The outfit in some S1 keyart images, but most were her other main outfit

We don't get to see what this outfit looks like without the jacket and thus don't really get to see the blouse

Makes it into S2, but the last we see of it is in 2x01 when then it falls victim to the pigeon incident.

However its final appearance is in the HANDS scene (well technically right after), so it does go out in a blaze of glory

Seen in 1x01-4, 2x01

The black funeral dress (1x01)

Only worn in the two scenes in the cemetery

(again it gets to be part of an iconic Wiliza scene at least)

Seen in 1x01

The other blue outfit from S1

What she is wearing in the main S1 keyart and PBS DVD cover

We don't get to see what this outfit looks like without the jacket and thus don't really get to see the blouse. She does appear to be wearing a different blouse with it at times though (e.g. 1x06 is a different blouse from 1x01)

While she wears it in almost every episode of S1, she notably wears this almost the entirety of 1x06, making its last real appearance in the scene where she has William apologize to Moses.

It is also the outfit that she is wearing in all three of the photographs of adult!Eliza in the show (1x06, 2x03, 2x06), so its technical last appearance in 2x06

There's an edited version of this outfit that's red and used in other keyart (it is not the red outfit from 1x06)

Seen in all S1 episodes except 1x05; appears in photographs in 2x03 and 2x06 as well

A burgundy ensemble that's only worn twice, both times in S1

The burgundy skirt is possibly the same skirt that goes with the outfit that’s actually in all three seasons

First seen when she goes to find Clara Simms; she wears it through being released from Scotland Yard the next morning. This version she has a choker on.

In 1x02, she wears it with a cloak at the beginning of the episode, and that's its last appearance

Seen in 1x01, 1x02

The burgundy dress that Eliza says in 1x02 is her best dress, that she specially wears to catch William's eye

She first wears it in 1x02, to try to get William to give her a case

Its last appearance is in 2x06, when her and William were going to go to dinner together

Seen in 1x02, 1x03, 2x01, 2x06

The burgundy skirt outfit is the only one of her outfits to appear in all three seasons

We actually first see it without the jacket on (1x03), and we know what the blouses she wears with it look like

It's only outfit she wears in 1x05 ("Cell 99"), including without the jacket

She mixes and matches hats and ties with this outfit starting in 2x01, as well as sometimes has on a different blouse (likely the one that goes with the green outfit).

In S3, she does sometimes wear a navy blue cloak over it, like she does many of her outfits that season

Its last appearance has been 3x05, without the jacket on, drinking with Ivy

Seen in 1x03, 1x04, 1x05, 2x01, 2x04, 3x01, 3x02, 3x04, 3x05

The nightgown in 1x04

Also notably the only time Eliza's hair isn't in a bun (barring flashbacks to Young Eliza)

She's only in this for two connective scenes

Seen in 1x04

The actual Scarlet outfit

Only appears at the end of 1x06, when Eliza is in her office and William comes to take her to dinner

Seen in 1x06

The green outfit

First seen in 2x01, as Ivy is pinning the hem. We first see it without the jacket, and get a good look at the blouse she tends to wear with it. This blouse is also used with other outfits.

She first wears the whole outfit together in 2x02

Comparative to other outfits, she doesn't seem to switch up the hat (or blouse)

This outfit carries over into S3, with its last appearance in the scene at Arabella's house having tea at the end of 3x05

Seen in every S2 episode except 2x03; 3x01, 3x05

The burgundy and gray one with velvet trim

First appears in 2x01, in the pub with the guy from the Wentworth's shop

She seems to wear the same blouse as with the green outfit

It has a waistcoat, and we do see her several times without the jacket on

Its last appearance is in the flashback to her office in 3x03.

Seen in 2x01, 2x02, 2x04, 2x05; 3x03

Navy blue outfit with waistcoat

First seen in 2x02, when she goes looking for the insurance firm

We do see her several times without the jacket on

In S2 she wears it with a blouse that has a collar that's trying to mimic a men's double round collar (the style William wears)

Notably, this is the only outfit she wears in 2x03

This outfit makes a reappearance in 3x03, with a different and stripped blouse. It's the outfit she wears the whole episode (barring the flashback), and she only has the jacket on in her first and final scenes of the episode, plus the wool cloak.

In 3x05, it's back to the collared blouse, and last seen when Eliza and William talk after Crabtree's arrested

Seen in 2x02, 2x03, 2x04, 2x06, 3x01, 3x03, 3x05

The blue evening dress

First scene for Hattie's engagement party in 2x06, and she does not wear any adornment on it then

In 3x02, which is the second and last time that she wears it, she has pinned her mother's brooch to the middle of the neckline

Both instances of her wearing it, she also wears a small shawl/cape with velvet trim when she is outside

Its final appearance is when they go back inside of Arabella‘s restaurant after the brooch is stolen

Seen in 2x06, 3x02

Jacket with the brass buttons

Oddly enough, we first see her in this outfit in the S2 keyart, but it (and most of their clothing/whole image) has been edited to be red

It first appears in the show at the end of 3x01. First we see Eliza in the kitchen without the jacket on, and then in the next, and final scene of the episode in William's office with the jacket on

The blouse has some blue in it

She does occasionally have the thick wool cloak on with this, as well as an apron

Its last appearance is in the final scene of 3x06, at Nash's office

Seen 3x01, 3x02, 3x04, 3x05, 3x06

Blue outfit with the navy blue blouse

This is the outfit that she has on in the S3 keyart

Eliza first wears the skirt in 3x02 when she has to change after being pushed down, but she wears it with the lacy white blouse she usually wears with the green outfit (she's also in this blouse again when she bakes the cake with Ivy)

But she wears the usual combination later in the episode when she returns to Arabella's to speak with her

She also occasionally wears the wool cloak over it, as well as an apron

Its last appearance thus far has been when she and Moses go to see Solomon in 3x06

Seen in 3x02, 3x04, 3x05, 3x06

Bonus! Young Eliza

Same outfit in both flashbacks

It appears to be the same outfit in the photo on Henry/Eliza's wall (makes sense)

Seen in 1x01, and anytime there is a close up of the photograph (1x06 features last true close up of it)

I saw another post talking about how arrogant the Dutch are for not wearing helmets while cycling, and it annoyed me to a degree that was surprising to me (who knew I was so invested in not wearing a helmet? Not me).

Anyway the OP was American, so I figured I'd do some maths about it to see if there was some truth to what they were saying. This is impressive, because normally I despise doing maths, but statistics are always a bit of an exception.

First I figured, well I should probably see how many cyclists there are in the US, which is where I ran into my first problem: I couldn't find an exact number. Best I can do is 51.4 million, so I'm going with that. The Dutch have, of course, documented this in degrees of bicycle usage per time period instead of an absolute number, which is a little inconvenient. Taking only the weekly cyclists (meaning those who cycle at least once a week), this would be 70% of the population in 2021, which leads me to a number of 12,236,000.

So, 51.4 million Americans (15.5% of the population in 2021), 12.236 million Dutch people (70% of the population in 2021).

I couldn't find a good source for the States that gave an exact number for fatal accidents involving bicyclists, nor for an exact number of (badly) injured bicyclists as the result of an accident. If anyone can, I would love to work with better numbers, however, for now I'm working with "Nearly 1,000 bicyclists die and over 130,000 are injured in crashes that occur on roads in the United States every year" (source: CDC). According to the Central Bureau of Statistics in the Netherlands, 207 cyclists died as the result of an accident in 2021. In 2022, 6,800 people were badly injured after a traffic accident, of which 71% were cyclists, making the number of injured cyclists 4,828.

In short, in the US, accidents involving bicyclists in 2021 resulted in ~1,000 dead and ~130,000 injured. In the NL, the same lead to 207 dead and 4,828 injured.

To make these percentages, I'm going back to the cyclists in the population of both countries that I calculated earlier. I'm gonna cut this short because I assume you all can also calculate percentages.

0.0019305% of US cyclists died in 2021 as a result of an accident. In the Netherlands, this was 0.00169173%. These are both obviously very small percentages, so the difference is pretty negligible.

Okay, so what about injuries? That's what this whole debate is about, yeah? 0.03945734% of Dutch cyclists were injured in an accident, as opposed to the slightly higher percentage of 0.25096525% of American cyclists.

Really, my conclusion out of all of this is that yes, the Dutch should probably wear helmets (especially the elderly, who are involved in ~50% of all bike accidents, apparently), but Americans should absolutely improve the safety of their cyclists as well (probably through better infrastructure).

i finally found a fanfic i've been searching for for over a month now (after spending almost the entire afternoon going through ao3 because i guess the author didn't use (m)any tags) and i for some reason didn't think of just making a post asking if anyone knows it or something like that

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

idk if holly has ever addressed the folk's origins but i have spent an unnecessary amount of time thinking about it and have decided they're immigrants

I know it's a story, oh I know it's just a story. But why does it feel like my worst nightmare?

My Explorers of Sky Hero, Echo!

Lately I've been writing a study on her and this paragraph is taken from my rough rough draft. It's a more in-depth exploration of her character/origin/experiences and since I am a huge fan of the darkrai reincarnation theory, this is my personal take on the concept.

I think it's a bit poetic that Echo, in the aftermath of everything, winds up as a dark-type again (and one connected to the moon no less, the irony) as well. I mean, her timeline of lives has literally been this:

Darkrai (New Moon/Pitch Black) -> Human -> Eevee (Evolution) -> Umbreon (Moonlight)

A lot of her evolution into umbreon has to do with her personal trauma/amnesia and also significant influence from dusknoir (who she trusted and cared about), but deep down I feel like her evolution was also partially determined by the fragmented remnants of her original self. She even tried to evolve into leafeon, which obviously, did not work out as planned. Perhaps this is her past lives way of manifesting in her current self, though she is no longer the same pokemon anymore. Maybe it has something to do with self-forgiveness or acceptance? She still has a lot of healing to do, though.

Once evolving into a dark type, Echo slowly starts to regain some of her memories from her time as Darkrai. And Team Wish's new friendship with Cresselia, who is more perceptive than she has any right to be, gives Echo a lot of insight into exactly who she is. This spirals into Echo battling the reality of her past actions alone for a long time because how is she supposed to admit the truth to Sora? That she was the direct cause of their shared suffering? That she and darkrai are one and the same? That all of the pokemon of the future lived in an eternity of hell because she desired it? Of course, she keeps quiet for a long time out of pure fear-- because if Sora rejected her, she'd fall apart. It's a lot to keep secret but what else can she do?

And bonus!! Does Echo's shadow change during each night of the new moon? Hmm. Sure does seem like it.

[lucienne-thee-librarian]

Just to minimize my chances of being genuinely misunderstood OR deliberately misinterpreted, and crucified for something I don't think, How Dare You Say We Piss on the Poor website etc...I'm gonna say this right up top. I absolutely understand why people don't like Thessaly as a character, if anyone does completely unironically stan her as some kind of feminist hero who Did Nothing Wrong uwu, I personally see it as a bit of a red flag. I don't like terfs real or fictional. In a vacuum, I could even completely sympathize and agree with the people who want her cut.

HOWEVER.

It's really something to me to see people clamoring for her to be cut, because she carries and expressed an ugly indefensible prejudice (transphobia) in words towards (1) person. Meanwhile Hob fucking Gadling enacted one of the most violent forms of antiblack racism I can even think of against thousands no, millions of people, the ripple effects of which still affect billions more today. Just a little light idk, profiting off the fucking slave trade and had to be told by someone else that it was bad...and he's a fan favorite.

People are saying Thessally being Dream's love interest reflects badly on him or is somehow endorsement by the narrative (?!?!?!?!?!? Didn't she (SPOILER ALERT AS IF IT MATTERS BY NOW) help participate in his extended assisted suicide? She's not painted as a great person to me just another character what are y'all SMOKING whatever fine. It's fine this is fine.) But shipping Dream with Mr. Former Slaver is not only not verboten or frowned on widely in the fandom but its THEE most popular pairing by far. So...why the difference?

Like where are the same fans who are saying Thessaly shouldn't just be more clearly shown to be wrong, she shouldn't even be in the show at all when it comes to Hobert's crimes??? Yes, transphobia is indefensible. Isn't racism?

And I hear the cries of "it's fiction!!!" Already rallying (if anyone who needs to hear this even sees it lol) to which I say:

HORSESHIT. I KNOW you don't, deep down, really agree because if you did, why get upset about Thessaly being included??? Why does what she said to one person matter if it's Just Fiction You Guyze. Fictional characters are allowed to do bad things and fiction isn't reality sweaty....except when you only apply that standard to fictional racists you like and simp for, but fictional transphobes you don't are SO HARMFUL they shouldn't even be portrayed in fiction.

Like. Give me a big fat BREAK. This looks like bullshit, no? I'm sorry, but I'd love for someone to try and give any other explanation besides one personally offended you or hit home for you, and the other doesn't.

And if that bothers you or you feel like it says something negative about you...idk what you want me to say??? You can't control how other people perceive you and that's how people outside this majority-of-the-fandom bubble see it. You don't need to respond, I just wish and genuinely hope this gives you a moment to think about why fans who ARE bothered by both (and not just paying lip service to being bothered by the one but railing against the other) are so frustrated with people saying everyone is welcome but in practice only bending over backwards for the comfort and emotions of themselves, and people they can easily relate to.

You don't have to like Thessaly (I don't. I find her an interesting antagonist, I don't stan her. And frankly imo likability is not. the point of her character) but you'll pardon me for feeling more than a bit cynical and side eying people's motivations for what seems a...pretty obvious double standard, on what fictional crimes related to real world issues matter to y'all, and which clearly don't. Either actually bring the same energy to the table for fictional people who committed atrocities, even if against a group you're not part of and thus don't feel the need to empathize with, or just carry on, but accept that you don't have the SLIGHTEST room to talk about cutting characters who do immoral things. And you also need to accept that you look like a hypocrite when you do.

me, scrolling through the nimona tag looking for gifs of the knighting ceremony for writing ref: why aren't they wearing cloaks. they wear cloaks later. where do the cloaks come from. where do they go after.

i swear the cloaks are there for vibes and wound tending and have no logical continuity.

conclusion: they can be wearing cloaks in the fic just because i want them to be.

[phoenixtakaramono]

There are only two episodes left in The Boys S4, but having seen the leaks and with what we got, I have some opinions.

My conspiracy theory is that they got too many cooks in the kitchen (writers in the writer’s room)—plus the writer’s strike and pandemic happening during this time—and it’s starting to make sense how they dropped the ball with this season.
