Although the show runners have denied it,
the Inspector’s Associates have generally come from middle-class backgrounds, while the Inspector is implied to be a patrician on his native Kayaclasch.

Ok, but Christos Lawton’s Hodge playlist is so fucking good… like we cast George as a music nerd and that is what this playlist is. A music nerd who grew up in England in the 80s and 90s, who pays attention and isn’t afraid to pick the odd album tracks that are absolutely on the nose for his character at this specific point in the narrative.
Dave K’s playlist was also wonderfully Hodge, although more on a vein of what the character would absolutely enjoy listening to, bopping along to his gramophone and being a beautiful twit. Christos’s playlist is more thematic and maybe what the actor could’ve listened to while filming. The soundtrack playing while George grapples with what the fuck he is seeing, or maybe that plays when he stares out into the great white eternity on watch, dissociating as he tries not to let his mind crumble. While he tries to hang onto those core principles and joys that he has hung his selfhood on.
It is very much the playlist of a white male (probably middle class) British music fan of his age, which somehow feels in character for George as well despite the separation of a century. Damn your eyes Christos you lovely man. There are tracks that might go with certain emotional beats and you absolutely cannot stop me from thinking about John when I got to track 4. Ugh, I love it so much.
#george hodgson#christos lawton#davechella#the terror#I don’t know Christos’s exact class background and I am making a lot of assumptions in the way I am reading the playlist#to me it’s very a man who was born in 1982 and is very familiar to me as an 84 mostly white southerner middle class guy surrounded by musos#just realising that i hold back from calling myself a music nerd due to being surrounded by bigger nerds actual musicians and my dad#(my dad is all of those things and lovely and i have imposter syndrome)#music sweet music#shuttup alex#Spotify

"The climactic fight is described by Mina, while the domestic ending about their son is described by Jonathan."
!!!!! Now that is fascinating
Right? There's so much about it! Jonathan heads to work at the start but also has his mind back home, jotting down recipes for his fiancee (while she's talking about honing her skills -even if it is "to be useful" we know how much she likes it- and about travel and her job) and then while safe at home he talks about family, child, marriage (and noting "happily", important to him), and notes down how gallant Mina is.
#also yeah i don't agree fully about late victorian family composition in the middle class in those tags#but wanted to peer review the feminine coding there#if he comes from a lower class background than now it's likely his mother was involved more#dracula spoilers#dracula daily

Palo and Tigran standing casually in place to provide an outfit reference.
They are wearing the most typical day to day clothing for Galenii monks. This consists of three main parts:
-A simple, ankle-length sleeveless robe (white in initiate monks and black in the fully initiated). -A dark woolen cloak, which doubles as a blanket. This cloak is the foundational item of clothing throughout much of Imperial Wardin as a whole, and worn by all social classes. They tend to be cut shorter and highly decorative in the upper classes, serving only the practical purpose of shielding the arms from the sun. Poor laborers may wear only the cloak and a loincloth and nothing else. In the case of Galenii monks, it is standardized, simple, and dark blue-gray. -The sash. This is a very long scarf that is the primary visual signifier of a Galenii monk. Its open ends drape down the front side of the body and are tied at the chest. It is slung over the shoulders and hangs in a loop around the back. These sashes are dyed an expensive royal blue, indicating the significance and relative esteemed status of this religious order.
Additional elements:
-The sign of the horns: a small iron pin used to fasten the cloak. This is the symbol of the Lunar Face Of God (the specific aspect to which the Galenii are devoted, which is primarily associated with fertility and the cycles of sacrifice and rebirth). This is very common among monks but not standardized wear. Galenii priests wear the sign of the triple horns (though more commonly as an amulet).
-Ear piercings: Galenii monks and priests wear thick earrings of dark meteoric iron and stretch their earlobes. One is added to each ear for each year of the initiatory process. Palo is a year in, and Tigran is fully initiated and has five bands per ear. Body modification is exceptionally rare in Imperial Wardi culture, largely in relation to taboos surrounding body integrity. The exception here is done with great significance and care- these earrings can be made only with true meteoric iron, considered to be the blood of God Itself. Permanently marking their bodies with this metal signifies this priesthood's integral connection to maintaining the continual cycle of sacrifice/rebirth that is believed to keep God's domain stable, and binds them to this role.
-Sandals: usually very simple in construction. Monks are often expected to go barefoot, but the cities are quite dirty so most prefer to avoid this if possible.
-Ceremonial dagger: a sign of a fully initiated monk. It is curved and its sheath is decorated with a tuft of lion's mane (a signal of the Galenii order's close connection to the Odonii order). Most of its uses are ceremonial, but it will be periodically used to perform animal sacrifices. A smaller razor blade is kept in the home for personal bloodletting.
-Hair: Fully initiated monks shave their heads, while those in the process of initiation have relative freedom with hair dressing. Palo is wearing his hair in a single braid tucked around the front. Broadly speaking, braiding the hair is associated with female beauty standards throughout much of Imperial Wardin (though generally in two braids). There is no cultural convention Against men doing so, but it is regarded as mildly effeminate (particularly in the south and southeast).
-Lore Friendly Sunglasses: Palo has photosensitive epilepsy. No effective treatments for epilepsy exist in the setting (most 'treatments' in Imperial Wardin are alchemical in nature, ie: ambiguously helpful at best or literal poison at worst), but understanding of the Nature of epilepsy as a neurological disorder is relatively accurate, and the concept of photosensitivity is loosely understood (though not with great accuracy, it's assumed to be caused by light in General). Palo had this pair of (VERY expensive) sunglasses commissioned as a youth, which Do slightly reduce the frequency of his seizures. Devastatingly stylish as they may be, his glasses do not offer much visual clarity so he only wears them in bright conditions.
#Am working on the dreaded Art Fight References#Also height comparison. Palo looks taller than he is because he's skinny as fuck and next to a 4'9'' guy. But he's 5'10''#Which is above average height for the setting (average man is probably 5'6''-7'') but not huge#I kind of need to reintroduce these guys because I made the earliest posts about them right around when I started actually writing#and a lot of their background lore has changed.#Namely their upbringings- most of the cast of the White Calf are stupid wealthy Imperial Wardi elites and I needed these guys to be like...#Normal people.#Tigran is still from a branch of a family that is wealthy in distant Ubibi but his specific branch is poor agricultural laborers living#around the lower Brilla river next to Wardin (city)#Palo is still better off but not crazy rich- his family were glass workers and traders out of Godsmouth and#would be considered middle class. Wealthy enough for occasional extravagances like sunglasses but nothing ridiculous#Most of the post-White Calf era stuff is now outdated too#AND ON ANOTHER TANGENT- most sun protective eyewear in this part of the setting is less 'elegant' (affordable sunglasses would#be mostly sheets of hammered bronze with punctured holes)#There is relatively sophisticated eyewear produced in Bur and Imperial Wardin (including some actual moderately useful glasses for#correcting visual impairment) but good pairs are prohibitively expensive and made by dedicated craft workers#Palo's pair would have cost about a year of his father's wages#palo apolynnon#tigran otto#the white calf

something that will never fail to be amusing to me is when an mdzs college au needs the name of a professor, and then suddenly shen qingqiu is there
#ah yes professor shen we all know him#would love to see a fic that is like. largely focused on whatever mdzs characters are thrown into the college au setting#but you get the impression there's some kind of b-plot happening just off screen#where shen-laoshi is having some kind of weird drama with his former TA#or even just like. in the middle of class or office hours or something#professor shen's absurdly beautiful husband shows up to deliver him lunch#im imagining wwx going into office hours or something#and his brain to mouth filter completely fails him and he makes some comment like damn shen-laoshi's got game!#sqq regrets every decision he's ever made and lbh is having to remind himself that he's not allowed to kill his husband's students#anyway. i think it's silly and i enjoy it#i mostly only see it with sqq but i did read a fic once where one of the random jin kids bullying jin ling#was named luo bingbing and i was like ??#i don't think it was a reference to him but it felt like too strong of a coincidence#i think more scum villain characters should be random background characters in mdzs aus. it's very funny#sqh and jgy work in the same accounting firm or something#lqg is jc's personal trainer. idk.

I barely ever remember what's in each pandemic livestream, apart from a couple of favourites (especially with the non-numbered ones), so it's always a wonderful surprise when I stumble across the Luke Manning Breakdown.
"Before this as well, I said 'let's all be nice to each other again'."
*Sam wheezing in the background*
#shoot from the hip#luke's patented posh character <3#who's always like a sort of...upper middle class army officer/diplomat kind of guy?#i have watched these through a few times this year#or i should say listened as i sometimes just put them on in the background while i'm doing other things#plus rewatched a couple of favourites a few times

the squeakquel to nishikitty: meowjima
#or well. y0 meowjima#i need to find this user again but someone on here had an interesting idea on majima's pre yakuza backstory (because we only feed on crumbs#which is that majima came from an upper middle class/wealthy background#and i really like that idea so i wanted to make him an expensive breed to reflect that#so! charcoal bengal majima. after y0 he regularly gets his fur trimmed down to be a shorthair instead of a longhair cat#i might make doodles later to better show off his bengal markings but for now. witness him#eyestrain tw#goro majima#yakuza#yakuza 0#rgg#ryu ga gotoku#anthro#digital art#artists on tumblr

ID: A splash image featuring several colorful cyclops characters, each divided by geometric gutters - forming a tall diamond shape in the middle with two divides on each side for a total of seven frames. Each panel features a single character and is rendered in pseudo-monochromatic colors to represent each character as a different color within a rainbow. End ID.
big ol splash image time.... i made this back in march and boy did my blood and sweat and tears go into getting this thing done on a tight ass deadline!!!! a very emotional grind it took to get this thing done but im still very happy with it :)
#froxart#froxposting#visible spectrum#illustration#described#Oh boy here come the character tags#vs butterscotch#vs cinnamon#vs cookie#vs mandy#vs marshal#vs minnie#vs smith crispin#Bytight deadline#i mean that i started this on the night before i had to send things to get printed#so i ummmm#stayed up all night to finish it (and succeeded in doing so)#and went to sleep at a Very Super Reasonable 11am#had to skip class that day bc i was not about to go to a 6 hour class on 0 sleep. sorry bill ilu#Worth it though it looked sick as a big ass print and im glad to actually have a big showy image for everyone LMFAO#small compositional detail is that each of the frames is 'viewed' from Cinnamon's perspective :) so kind of at least a lil bit in context o#what they'd see#or something like that#i was gonna say not including the middle. but its supposed to be a mirror so. Yes including the middle#also as of drafting this a version of this is my desktop background so i can look at my guys whenever i look at my desktop YAYY

currently at That Point which occurs once every few months where one briefly begins pacing around the house teary eyed contemplating selling their own organs or becoming an online scammer or getting on anxiety meds so you can bear the risk taking required to be a hitman or so on and so forth.... why must everything so Expensive... Surely all would be healed in life if only I had one big plate of lasagna and a simple loan of $40,000 ... auoughhh....
#And then you just eventually shrug and go 'welp. nothing i can do i guess' and sad cartoon music plays as you shuffle back to your room#It's just hard with my specific physical and mental issues since it's like.. I couldn't really handle most jobs. I can't handle school. I'm#100% aromantic and asexual so I'll never get married so I can't get money that way. I have too much issues with social cues#+ too nervous temperament + too low energy to put effort into lying and having a fake relationship just for money. so on and so forth etc.#Really I should have just been born into a middle class family. Which I guess everyone says. but ESPECIALLY considering my#chronic conditions kind of hampering my ability to function 'normally' or be Independent in a regular way. I'm always going to be#in some way sort of beholden to the whims of people around me who I must depend on. so... well of course they might as well have been rich#lol like that would have been better for me of course.#AAANyway... Just thinking about another stupid fucking climate change summer... months keep going by so fast.. soon it will be so again#And it's like such SMALL things would make drastic improvements for me. Literally if I just had a place with central AC#then like 75% of my issues with summer would vanish instantly. literally. But instead it's like.. having a cheap hot apartment + only#half functional dinky window ac + my illnesses that make me heat sensitive + living in a part of the country that keeps getting hotter +#inability to leave the house much meaning I can't just go spend time in a cooler place etc. all factors which combine together to make#it just utterly miserable for MONTHS and mentally draining. And literally ALL I would need to fix that is just...#have a place with central AC that works.. (or move to a colder country/area but that also takes money. Or just not have illnesses#that make me heat sensitive. but that I can't control). etc. etc. I guess it's just the nature of the constant background frustration of#being part of The Masses under our current manifestation of unmitigated capitalism. Such minor details would make such huge#quality of life improvements and yet will remain ever out of reach. ONE little thing could change your whole life but you can't even have#that. so many 'If only' scenarios. etc. And of course obviously I am incredibly thankful just to have anywhere to live at all. food to eat#. any sort of stability whatsoever no matter how fragile it feels/is. But that still doesn't make it not frustrating occasionally to look#around and see how relatively little would have to change in order for you to be a decent percentage more comfortable and yet#how still far away even those ''small'' seeming goals are. etc. etc.#Seriously think I've been traumatized by the summer or something somehow lol like thinking about it being warm weather eventually#makes me nauseous with panic. It's just SOOO much labor. micromanaging windows and fans and blocking every ounce of light#and not being able to cook (cant even afford a single degree of temp increase due to the stove) for months and barely being able#to sleep for months and the claustrophobia of days on end crawling out of your skin because it doesnt even get cool enough at#night to offer relief so you're just always feeling trapped.. hgrhh...#It starts getting hot here sometimes in May but mostly June then lasts through October now.. thats like half the year almost.. ARghhH#anyway... If any extremely rich person reading this would like to buy me an air conditioned house in exchange for multiple years worth#of art (I will paint murals on all of your grand dining halls and make all the custom sculptures you could ever want etc) then.. hewwo :'3c

The fact that people have parents that weren’t born in the late 60s (or early 70s) is so odd to me like that is THE parent age. Like wdym your parents were born in the 1980s and ur my age?? That’s actually insane wtf. Parents were not meant to be in high school in the 2000s…
#my parents were born in 1966-1967#for reference I was born in 2004#and come from a more middle class/upper middle class background#so most people my age had parents were in firmly in their 30s when they were born#so the fact that is actually very common for people to have parents who were like 18-24 when they were born is actually mind blowing#I saw a tiktok of a girl wearing her mom’s prom dress from like 2001… PROM?? IN 2001??? WHAT#parents were meant to be in high school in the 80s sorry
