Lanns n Starks lineups/costumes sketches that I will probably add other houses to. Tywin and Joff & the rest aren't here because I was lazy and Cerseis dress took all of my energy. Don't ask me about inspiration or historical basis for these

Ironycore

What is Ironycore?

Ironycore is an aesthetic and fashion style centered around ironic humor and pieces considered ‘ugly’ or ‘tacky’ by the owner. Ironycore focuses less on aestheticly pleasing outfits but rather on making a joke through decor or outfit choice. While Ironycore is not strictly fashion based- this post will focus more on the fashion aspect… as this is a fashion blog.

Ironycore Essentials

To call something ironycore it must find the sweet balance of being ironic but also not intentionally. Graphic tees which clearly do not pertain to the wearer are a staple of ironycore. For example, a white man wearing a shirt that reads “I Love being a Black Woman” or a young girl wearing a shirt that reads “My greatest blessings call me Papa”

While graphic tees with funny slogans on them can be part of ironycore, it is important that they are funny because they are in complete juxtaposition to the wearer. Wearing a shirt that says “This girl loves horseback riding, getting dirty, and daytime dramas” could work but if you are dressed too much like a girl who may like horseback riding and daytime dramas- the irony may be lost. However if it makes you laugh then it is still a great piece.

Ironycore at its very… core, is about expressing something that makes you laugh and bringing yourself joy. If wearing shirts from jobs you’ve never worked in your life, or wearing a hat that says “Women want me, fish fear me” is funny to you- ironycore is the perfect style for you.

Another aspect of ironycore is wearing tacky items of clothing. It must be noted that these items don’t have to be big statement pieces. But if you find them funny to wear with the outfit it is a good match. For instance- wearing a completly goth outfit with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat could be funny to you. Or wearing a summer outfit with snow boots. Something that screams “That’s not right” Cohesive outfits are for suckers.

Ironycore is also like a cheese that can pair well with other substyles. For example, a punk look wearing an ironic tshirt or hat can be a blend of the Punk subculture and ironycore. Or wearing Y2K fashion with a funny bratz meme on your shirt. It lends itself to a lot of mixes.

Ironycore isn’t hyper specific- it’s whatever you find funny. The only real requirement for something to be ironycore is… to wear something ironically. If you are wearing a creeper shirt because you genuinely love minecraft that’s not ironycore. That’s just fun. But if you are a staunch atheist wearing a shirt saying “Jesus is my best friend and teacher” that’s a knee slapper.

Anyways have fun idc

After the North, the Iron islands ! More of my headcannons on regional asoiaf fashion ! A lot of the choices for this one were vibe based tbh (a lot of the vibe just being viking x pirate lol). Idk I've always had a strong visual representation of the aesthetic of the iron islands in general, I remember the first time I read the kingsmoot chapter I was picturing everything much more clearly that usual

Am i a 10th century baddie yet?

After four years of having my viking clothes mostly done, i've finally been made to finish them. My basics were all done back then, but this is more of a fancy summery fit that took a lot more work (especially the weaving)

Dress is based on the Vangsnes pleated dress, it's a super thin wool dyed with madder (the colour is a little uneven sadly)

Woven band is from a similar grave to vangsnes, but in Køstrup, because the vangsnes band is all swastikas

My brooches are NOT historical but just what i have rn :(

Half the beads are made by me, the other half were bought. it might be a bit much ngl but i felt very fancy
