#edgar: elegant and poetic but also very silly

[sunsetzer]

My third eye has opened and the pipeline has expanded. It is now an Elliott sdv to Julian Devorak to Setzer Gabbiani to Edgar Roni Figaro pipeline.

Dunno if you've ever answered an ask like this before, but do you mind telling us about your mutuals?

Rather, their writing styles and how they interact (No pressure if this sounds like I'm intruding on a boundary or something, I've noticed that you reblog a lot of works and I'm trying to find more fic writers from HSR and Genshin to support, but sometimes it feels a little scary 😅)

HELP NO IT'S OKAY !!! no fear in asking, we love people like you <333 these are mainly the mutuals that i've read fics from so that i can actually tell you how they write but still. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ONE STRAP IN FOLKS. if i forgot ygs im sorry oops... also sorry for the tag COUGHS (esp to the ppl i keep tagging when i get asked abt my moots BYE kawa skip mhie naru ren im so sorry i love you i swear)

@generalsmemories

NARU !!! ONE OF MY FIRST EVER HSR MOOTS AND ONE OF THE WRITERS I LOOK UP TO THE MOST. her writing style is very scenic?? if i were to describe it, it's very dreamy and whimsical and it's like reading a fantasy book. very descriptive but not so descriptive that you're eating fancy words. she's jing yuan centric but occasionally writes for others such as dan heng and sunday! she's honestly very very silly when it comes to interaction, like in an older sister way <33 she talks like an aesthetic if that makes sense

@inarvii

skip has a very elegant feel to her writing like LORD. it's giving noble/fantasy thriller enemies to lovers but in a writing style i love her prose and how she really makes you feel the vibe of a scene. she's really kind and sweet, gives older sister vibes lowkey

@k9wa

kawa is like me but x497842389 cooler and with a lot better grasp on characters. you want proper characterization? you want big brain ideas? GO TO HIM. his writing feels theatric, like a movie or a play. it's so descriptive and he does an amazing job at describing action and characters and GRGRGRGR

@luvether

lord i dont know if its okay to tag you but uhm. hi waves hand 😭😭 honestly i haven't interacted w kou much but from what i can tell she's really nice!! BUT I HAVE READ HER WRITING. AND LAWRD. her writing feels like little snapshots of life, you feel like you're actually like. THERE. she always has the biggest brain of ideas i swear and i highly recommend her writing. mostly fluff with a touch of angst, one of my favorites fr !!

@emiken-070907

hi emi. bet you didn't expect to get tagged here huh. but you have one hsr fic and that's enough for me to slap you onto here and promo you (it's on ao3 and it's not an x reader, but it is a tragedy yanqing timeskip!!! i beta read for that btw flips hair (i still need to edit im so sorry emi please)). as for interaction, she is silly asf. TO ME PERSONALLY? shes like the ratty little sibling that you want to throw out the window but would also kill for. has great vibes over all, she's so sweet but sometimes shes a lil shit so. yeah. idk how she acts to followers but she is like that to ME. but she is full of whimsy and glee so there's that

@rainswept

edgar allan poe incarnate over here??? HELLO??? crow is. her writing is RAW. like okay this is going to get a bit gorey but they write like a freshly opened wound, it's vulnerable, it's poetic, it's pure imagery and i LOVE it. also another goofy moot. i think like just attracts like atp

@tragedy-of-commons

gwen is an absolute SWEETHEART. very silly. BUT THEY'RE SO SWEET. her writing is literally sunlight put into literary terms, if that makes sense. it's warm, comfy, and cozy (except when she kills you in the arms of your favorite character. which she has done) and i highly recommend her writing for a comfy read <3

@iceunhie

mhie is a HATER OF THE HIGHEST ORDER jk i love her she just bullies me GOODBYE 😭 mhie gives off older sister vibes, a lot of people (including me HELP) see her as intimidating but she's really sweet once you get to know her. or she calls you milk. who knows. ANYWAYS genuinely one of the people i look up to most, she always gives amazing feedback on writing and her own writing??? the prose??? she's a master at it. knows how to really elevate a piece and it's just really easy on the eyes. she's also a research writer, her jiaoqiu fic utilizes chinese proverbs and terminology and i think that's really neat <3

@st6rly

hi bottom beta. okay wait sorry you have a reputation i forgot ANYWAYS. SOL IS SUCH A SILLY GOOSE. i love him. BUT HE IS SO GOOFY AND I MEAN THAT IN A POSITIVE WAY. i haven't read that much about what sol writes unfortunately since i'm no longer interested in genshin that much 😭😭 but i've heard good things !! definitely someone you wanna check out if you like good vibes :D

@lowkeyren

ren my pookiebear my LORD !!! resident aquila favonia haver (she has like 21 as of right now) and she serves every time she writes. always gets slapped onto my rec list because she's one of the few writers that genuinely have me kicking and giggling 😭 really cute, really tension filled, one of my favorite authors :))

@scribs-dibs

SUNNIII true to his name his writing feels just so warm and light, like a slice of life anime. very relaxing reads, at least from what i've seen !! very warm, really really cute <33 like the main one that ive read from him is that alhaitham jealousy fic and??? the characterization was ON POINT. i loved it so much (the switch up made me laugh) as for personality. HES FUNNY. LIKE HES STRAIGHT UP HILARIOUS I LOVE HIM GO CHECK HIM OUT I SWEAR ITS WORTH IT

@akutasoda

q has a very pretty vibe if that makes sense, i haven't read much from them but i can definitely say that their writing style is beautiful, like a meadow full of flowers or a quiet stream. they've always been kind to me in that sort of older sibling way, and they're someone that i would trust as an emergency contact. lots of genshin and hsr from what i've seen on my dash, so definitely go check them out!

@aviiarie

avery's on the more reserved side, at least from my point of view, or maybe that's because when i first met them they had a ferminet pfp. they're pretty chill and casual, and can i just say? their writing is very easy to read, it has great flow and i can just lose myself in the fic. like i don't see the words i see what the words are saying, if that makes sense. avery also focuses on platonic writing, although they have been writing some romance with furina!! my personal favorite work of theirs was that fic of arlecchino comforting her crying child because it made me feel so much better about my life at 9 am when i just woke up.

@vynicity

FELICITYYYY she's a mutual in my heart even tho apparently tumblr thinks i dont follow her. but i do. ANYWAYS. another person that i consider on the more reserved side, but she's been fun whenever we talked. can i just say. SHE IS SO GOOD AT WRITING AVENTURINE. there's this one fic down the line about him being drunk??? i think??? and I ATE THAT UP because the tension and atmosphere that she managed to create. just magnificent. she has an aventurine series up right now iirc (i still need to read the new chapter im so sorry feli) and the prologue was. a roller coaster so definitely go check her out!

@vxnuslogy

vee is literally bursting with ideas and by god does she put them to use. i always see them brainrotting or thinking of new ideas or things to write, literally one of the most creative people ive met. can be a little silly, but still a sweetheart <33 her writing is more formal than what i'm used to i'll admit, but still a delight to read nevertheless <33 very descriptive is how i'd describe it, like it feels like she's looking at the scene as shes writing it

@ughscara

ayame is like. the sweetest person i have ever met. like ill be here being a little shit and she'll still be an absolute sweetheart I ALMOST FEEL BAD BECAUSE SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH MY ASS BYE 😭😭 i just recently reblogged one of her works and it straight up feels like it came out of a fairytale, it was so light and sweet <33

Edwin Camacho Rivera Owner of The Dapper Rocker

Something we have noticed while doing our Temple Of Geek Chic reviews is that although there seems to be a great deal of geeky clothing and accessories available to men, there are hardly and styles that men can combine into their everyday work life. And there is almost nothing in the way elegant geeky clothing for men. The Dapper Rocker is able to combine elegance and pop culture into something with unique style! These “Ascots With Attitude” are a perfect for the geek who wants more out of their fashion choices. 

Edwin Camacho Rivera is the proprietor of the neck wear shop called The Dapper Rocker. It is predominantly an ascot shop with pieces ranging from elegant to brash to geeky and has been around since 2016.

Edwin tells us “I was inspired to sew and knit by my sister. And one day, while wearing a handmade to work and receiving comments about it looking like an ascot inspired me to look them up, and I was able to make my own. The overall intent of my designs is to create something distinct from the other ascots, so some designs are classy, others are eccentric, and others are geeky. Concerning the geeky side, I have been a geek for a very long time, but have never cared for most things that stores carry in terms of clothing and accessories. So, I came across spoonflower.com and other places to create pieces that can be geeky and yet sophisticated. Each style is made in small quantities.”

These aren’t costume pieces or cosplay pieces, but they could absolutely be used that way. They are versatile in their function. The pieces are subtle enough that they can be worn with your every day attire. But they are also statement pieces. A way to express exactly who you are through your fashion.

Doctor Who Inspired

We are already geeking out about these Doctor Who Ascots! We don’t get to see much in the way of Doctor Who fashion that isn’t cosplay or a graphic tee of some sort. Doctor Who style has always been pretty elegant. From the time of the First Doctor all the way up until our current 13th incarnation of The Doctor, you can’t deny that the Doctor has style! Although at times a little silly, The Doctor has always been very well dressed.

The 12th Doctor’s Polka Dot Shirt from The Episode Kill The Moon

12th Doctor Inspired Ascot

The black and white polka dot ascot is inspired by the 12th Doctor Episode “Kill The Moon”. Biggest thing we love about this is the detail! It is such a great representation of the shirt worn by Peter Capaldi as the First Doctor. The material is a very soft and glossy satin. It has a gorgeous shine that our pictures just do not give justice to.

7th Doctor

7th Doctor Inspired Ascot

The 7th Doctor was absolutely all about patterns. His style was vibrant and playful and so are these ascots! We love anything that pays homage to Classic Doctor Who! This 7th Doctor ascot absolutely does that! One thing to keep in mind when purchasing an ascot is to look at the measurement. Not all necks are built the same. Make sure you know your neck size before ordering!

The 13th Doctor

13th Doctor inspired Ascot

Jodie Whittaker made her groundbreaking debut this year as a 13th Doctor! Inspired by the 13th Doctor’s rainbow shirt this ascot beautifully captures the 13th Doctor’s vibe.

The Daleks

Dalek Inspired Ascot

The Daleks may be the Doctor’s worst enemy but we are loving this Dalek inspired ascot. The nice thing about this design is that it very recognizable as a Dalek pattern, but it would only be recognizable to other Doctor Who fans. To everyone it would just be a bold accessory choice.

We had cosplayers Doc In The Box and Dylan of Final Form Cosplay put The Dapper Rocker to the geek test. They combined the ascots with pieces they already own. Both from their everyday wardrobe and also with their cosplay pieces.

Edgar Alan Poe Inspired

The lovely thing about people is that we are not just one thing. We don’t have to necessarily have to fit into one box and neither do our style choices. I am a big fan of the eccentric collection that The Dapper Rocker offers. These Edgar Alan Poe inspired accosts are romantic and elegant. They show of your more refined and poetic tastes. These ascots and cravats are inspired by two Edgar Alan Poe poems, The Raven and Anabel Lee.

Anabel Lee Inspired Cravat

Raven Inspired Ascot

Overall we are big fans of The Dapper Rocker and we are happy with the styles an choices offered. Be sure to know your measurements before order and message The Dapper with any questions you may have. Keep in mind that these items are handmade and that quantities may be limited. You can find these items and more at thedapperrocker.com and on Instagram at @thedapperrocker.
