How to dress like the dark feminine archetypes?

The Dark Feminine attire screams dangerous, sexy and delicious.

The basics:

Wear mostly neutral/dark tones with pops of bright colors like red, orange or green.

Find fits (dresses) that essentiate your curves. Reveal glimpses of cleavage, just enough to tease.

Style accessories that are unique and can be your signature. (Sunglasses, pearls, crystal necklaces or rings, etc)

Add lingerie underneath to feel sexy.

HEELS always gives a boost of confidence and bad bitch energy.

Check out the archetypes here.

The Lilith

You look like a pathetic whore

Mwah 💋

[allhallowszee]

what’s your opinion on people who participate in the goth aesthetic without being in the subculture? (doing goth makeup but not listening to goth music, for example)

essentially, i feel it’s like putting on a costume. you can say you’re goth all you want, but it doesn’t make you a goth. it’s a music and political/moral based subculture. you can’t be goth and not listen to goth music, and you cannot be goth and republican/conservative.

hi I love your tags so so much! they were so sweet and so interesting and creative and the whole Aphrodite type of beauty thing sounds really interesting do you have any articles and recommendations to read further into it??

-hogoflight

Hello my fine feathered (I am assuming possession of feathers if you are, indeed, capable of flight) @hogoflight! I'm always always happy to hear that people appreciate my frenzied rambling in the tags :D! I have a lot of articles and recommendations :D!! Ancient Greek notions of beauty and representations of it in their art and sculptures is a pretty well studied topic! There isn't any way for us now to know definitively what the beauty standard was (it varied widely from region to region and culture to culture after all) but here are a couple of my favourite reads about Aphrodite and what her representations tell us about idealised beauty!

Probably the most empirically extensive one I can list is Krönström's thesis which compares statues of Aphrodite and literary text referring to both the goddess and mortal women to determine physical ideals for women in five specific eras of Grecian antiquity. Including measurements of the statues there are many descriptions of Aphrodite as 'curvy' with a 'voluptuous figure' and with 'ample buttocks and bosom'.

"When the beauty traits are described in the texts, they are never extreme or anything that could not be found in normal people just that they are more beautiful in every aspect. Furthermore, the sculptures’ physical forms look healthy, they are tall and have distinct curves. Great examples of this are the Knida sculpture and de Milo (the Melian) sculpture."

Of course, these images are still idealised, and there was still a concept such as 'too fat' or 'too skinny' found in written records (and this thesis even includes analysis of pornographic writings and descriptions of the fashion and stylings of pubic hair of women from different regions!!) but from an interpretational standpoint? There is absolutely no reason why these can't refer to a fuller figure. Height was also a very important factor after all and over the course of many eras, it seems like being well proportioned in addition to the length and appearance of one's hair were the most important factors (and, like Apollo, greater beauty was given to those with curlier hair)

Mireille M. Lee's 'Other Ways of Seeing' essay which talks about the forgotten female viewers of Knidian Aphrodite which is also extremely illuminating on how Aphroditic sexuality and sensuality was perceived totally differently from the well documented male voyeuristic gaze (which was overly preoccupied with the statue's nakedness and therefore over-sensationalised the statue's physical appearance) vs women's perspective on the statue which is more centered on the beauty of simplicity in Aphrodite's garment and decoration and in her power and ability to captivate both in her finery and without it. I think it's especially useful in exploring the importance of finery, jewellry and adornment in representations of Aphroditic beauty.

"Some of the small-scale copies are heavily jeweled, especially those from the eastern Mediterranean, for example the Hellenistic gilded terracotta statuette in the Çanakkale Museum (Fig. 5) in which the goddess wears, in addition to the armband on her (right) arm, the following: a necklace with multiple pendants; cross-bands extending over both shoulders and hips, with a cascading pendant in the center; a coiled snake armband on the left arm and another snake on her left thigh, and a twisted anklet on her right leg. (The left leg has been restored, and might also have featured an anklet.)"

"Jewelry is especially associated with Aphrodite in Greek literature. As seen above, in the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, the goddess adorns herself with gold jewelry, dress-pins, and earrings in the shape of flowers (162–3)..."

Finally, and to me, the most important one in the argument for an interpretation of Hyacinthus as fat, beautiful and fundamentally Aphroditic comes from Brilmayer's brilliant brilliant thesis done on Aphrodite's work and influence in Archaic Greek Poetry which does away with all of that masculine preoccupation with physical proportion, measurement and bodily ideals for a focus on a Sapphic Aphroditic ideal centered in clothing, ornamentation and, most importantly cunning as symbols of Aphrodite and ultimately a feminine idealised form of beauty. This paper also discusses Pandora and Helen in these terms and it is just kind of a wonderful read tbh.

"Combining Homeric and Hesiodic elements with her own ideas, she [Sappho] alters the way female beauty is viewed. For example, the Homeric war chariot – a symbol of male, military prowess - comes to symbolise the totality of Aphrodite’s power uniting in itself male and female qualities. Having addressed the concept of beauty directly, Sappho then concludes that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. With the help of Helen of Troy and her beloved Anaktoria, Sappho sets out to reinvent the concept of female beauty as a godlike, subjective quality that may be expressed in many ways, yet remains inspired by Aphrodite."

The conclusion to all of this of course is that Aphroditic ideal beauty is much more fluid compared to its stricter Apolline masculine standard. The nuances and understandings of both are of course, constantly being studied, analysed and scrutinised but really, if Dionysus who was both bearded and clean shorn, effeminate, birthed and rebirthed (and twice gestated!) and strongly associated with vegetation can be popularly portrayed as fat and handsome, why can't Hyacinthus?!

[charlie-francis-spring]

MR SPRING, WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR SELFIE ON THE EFFEIL TOWER FOR NICK'S MUM, DO YOU KNOW IF SHE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE HICKY?

oh because i didn't know if anyone would have my shade, and they'd obviously ask what i want it for, and my friends are really smart they'd piece it together 😭😭

[drawing-way-outside-the-lines]

Could you make your cc links available? (If that wasn't too much to ask) Or at least the objects and skins 👉🏻👈🏻 Your Sims are so beautiful ❤️

But thank you for the ask 😂 Hey I really do wanna help, but I use so much cc on my sims, it's impossible to list it all. However, I will help as much as I have time for at the moment. Most of my sims you see often have personal skin blends, so I can't link to those. But 99% of my sims use Ephemera skins as a base. What I love about these skins are, that they are quite detailed, but they are not HQ so they are not hard on your computer :D YAY! My favorite Emphemera skins are: Fresh, Rhys, Skinny, Tan, Chaos and Lion. You can find a link to the skins here: https://www.tumblr.com/pitheinfinite/184172979667/ts3-skin-collection-by-ephemera-just-saw-a-post A lot of my makeup and eyes I got from S-Club. It's really good quality, and again not HQ which means it wont murder your computer ;) I also suggest using their eyelashes for a realistic look, but be sure to download the eyelash sliders in that case. Link to S-club cc here, you gotta skip many pages before makeup starts coming, see it as a treasure hunt: https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/S-Club/downloads/browse/category/sims3/skipsetitems/1 The majority of my makeup is from Tifa, they have a lot of great pores/eyebags/eyes/lips that I use a ton of times! But most of that cc is only available on creepy Russian sites full of mallware, so I don't suggest you download from those, please. Edit: @perseusx42 was kind to share the link for the backup folder of Tifa makeup: https://mega.nz/folder/NmpzVRSC#_0Jn-YtPc8UfOJDDtbGTVQ I also use a good amount of Pralinesims makeup, again you gotta skip a bunch of pages to find their makeup: https://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Pralinesims/downloads/browse/category/sims3/skipsetitems/1

I also use hairlines/babyhairs on most of my sims, but it's such a long time since I downloaded them, I can't remember where I got them. Perhaps you can find some through cc finds sites or Google. Eyebrows: Sk-Sims <- Brntwaffles (These also work for males) <- Andhisrabbits <- Kurasoberina (I suggest all brows and the makeup) <- I use this face shadow blush a lot on males: https://synestesi-vtmb.tumblr.com/post/45610726195/have-made-it-some-time-ago-may-be-youll-also As for female blushes, I mostly use Sehd's blushes, and also some of their lips: Lips <- Blushes, mouth corners, chin cleft and more lips, nose shine, I recommend it all <- Nose masks is another good thing. I most often use the ones called Glow, Pancake, Blueberry, Nectar, Cherry and Strawberry. link: https://leafvy3finds.tumblr.com/post/628683325013360640/brntwaffles-inspired-by-the-nosemasks-of-lilith That said, I do use NRAAS mod to layer makeup, with that you can have multiple makeups in each category, which helps a lot making sims much more detailed. (You can find that one on Google I think, if you need it) Last but not least, I do have some sims up for download, and I will hopefully upload some more one day soon, that's also a way to get sims similar to mine, if you like :) Have fun!

[allhallowszee]

do you have any tips for baby bats?

be true to yourself and don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t “goth enough”.

remember, goth is a music and political based subculture (derivative of punk!) so if you listen to the music and share the morals, you’re goth! you don’t have to look a certain way.

and also remember you are loved and you are beautiful as you are! welcome to the world of goth!
