The question

[skeletonspiced]

Remake of some Bendy Royal art from a few years ago. I love doing a lineless style it's sooo satisfying

[cosmic-c0w]

Still cannot decide on how I wanna draw Kurt

More self indulgent drawings below

More drawings of the partner I made for Kurt (Ik it’s cringe but I also wanted to draw a Pachuco style suit)

[immaculatemadonna23]

Rocky Rickaby is a pachuco and nothing and nobody will make me think otherwise.

This is a redraw of an original drawing (i can't find it my cellphone (cuz i have a impression in my posession) it's just a sketch with a style that I don't like as much as before... I think )? a doodle without purpose

me gender envying demons in zoot suits fr

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (left) — Natalie Dormer plays Rio, a ginger in a patterned zoot suit over an old rose shirt, and short hair styled in stiff waves on the right side of her head. She is one of several disguises of the demon Magda, in this case the one who riles the Los Angeles pachucos into revolt and fallout.

Good Omens (right) — a promotional still of David Tennant as Crowley in profile view, wearing an all black zoot suit (except the dark grey shirt and red necktie barely visible) with shades for his snake eyes and a fedora he adjusts on his head as he seems to check himself out in a dressing room mirror.

I also think

Magda and Crowley would set an entire country on fire if they were ever in each other's presence, thanks to Magda being the traditional temptress type who brings the evil out in human beings and Crowley just being a literal minor god who wants to enjoy life but was trapped in demonic villainy instead

pachucos and pachucas were clearly onto something when they decided on the zoot suit and global warming has robbed us all of the convenience of bringing this fashion style back

Cholo - The Sartorial Identity of Los Angeles.

Often affiliated with the Hispanic gangs of Los Angeles, the Cholo style is now represented all over the world. Dickies, Cortez and Pendleton shirts ... this is how we could summarize this aesthetic. However, the Cholo style is governed by codes that have evolved alongside the Mexican community in the USA.The contemporary Cholo style has its roots in the "Pachuco" style. The "Pachuco" was embodied by an active Latino community in Los Angeles in the 1930s. They met to dance swing and wore suits with very large pants: the "Zoot Suit". Reinterpreted in our time via workwear, the cholos use "Khakis" Dickies or Ben Davies 1 or 2 sizes too big to wear them high on the waist with a belt. The folds on the middle of the leg reproduce the aesthetics of the Zoot Suit pants. For some gangs, the standard is 1 pleat in the front and 3 pleats in the back, to form the number 13 in reference to MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha). The jeans are starched so that they sit on the leg and do not wrinkle at the knees. Pleats similar to khakis are also ironed in.The Cholos place great importance on cleanliness in their clothing. An immaculate white shirt and an ironed chino are among the outward markers needed to be respected on the street. As in the 1930s, this respect is achieved through clean, well-cut clothes. This Cholo aesthetic has inspired other movements even beyond California's borders.In the 1970s, skateboarders like Tony Alva wore Dickies with Pendleton shirts and bandanas inspired by the West Coast Hispanic community. However, the Cholo style really took off in the world thanks to the explosion of California Rap in the late 80s. The members of N.W.A and in particular Eazy E took these codes and applied them to Gangsta Rap. Their imagery has largely contributed to the diffusion of this style in the world and in Japan where a Cholo community is concentrated today.Nowadays, independent brands continue to keep this Cholo clothing heritage alive. Born x Raised and Willy Chavaria each in their own way evolve the classic Los Angeles style by incorporating elements of sportswear.

pt 2 of gen x/millennial fashion trends

part one tying 00s fashion & style to the 60s and 70s

i wanted to go back a little further because a lot of the styles vivid in my memory from the 90s were very 50s and 60s influenced.

so counterculture styles of our childhoods often become the trends revisited 20-30 years later (or before did social media accelerated trend turnover from years to weeks).

the 60s and 70s pull from the 20s and 30s; the 80s pull from the 40s and 50s, the 90s pull from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. what happened in the 00s that reset that cycle? we'll get there.

in the 40s there were hepcats and hipsters, pachucos and pachucas -- Black and Latine counters to white American culture and expected patriotism of the 1940s. if you don't know about the zoot suit riots, in 1943 white servicemen attacked latino zoot suiters because there was a fabric ration and wearing zoot suits was seen as unpatriotic.

40 years later in the 1980s, similar looks were brought back in style, but this time they weren't counter to the culture, they were the culture. boomers (aged 20s/30s/40s) were creating style and using what they saw as children as inspiration.

these same bulky/oversized men's cuts were also present in women's fashion both in the 1940s and 1980s.

but what was the counterculture of the 1980s? what subcultures were popping up and being blamed for the rise of satan?

punk, goth, and hip hop.

//However you answer will fuel my heart...does Greasy dance pachuco swing style with Poppy?

.....

GAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH

I wish I had the energy to write something for this! But nothing I coming to mind!!! 😭😭😭

But yes!!! Yes he absolutely does! Poppy ha never swing danced before meeting Greasy, actually! In a platonic or a romantic sense, I can see him taking her to a dance club with intents on fixing that!

Poppy would have so much fun, honestly! Even if she's more of a slow dancer, it's still fun to try this out ^^ and it's important to her friend/love, so of course she's going to give it a whirl. And I can see her genuinely enjoying it too ^^

They don't go out to dance clubs too too often, but they do love to dance together ^^

OC Talk:

I kinda wanna give Bacon baggier slacks, since technically I did base his style off the 1930’s Pachuco (The Devils are Mexican American-coded after all, and are from those times so). But man 😭 its lowkey kind of a drag to keep having to change stuff on my OCs.

Well, I guess I shouldn’t really worry, or complain too much since its kind of technically just minor tweaks, and its not like the designs I have right now are 100% officialized just yet or anything.

I’m thinking Bits could use a bit of change as well, maybe in just her outfit. Minor changes; maybe the logo on her shirt could look a little different. Something I tend to do with Bits recently these days is I give her long hair sometimes, and short hair in others (in her “present-day” design), and that’s mostly cause my sibling mainly draws her with the latter, and that honestly looks pretty cool 😂

I guess you could just decide to interpret Bits with whichever. Bits is a character that’s very curious in nature after all, and likes to experiment and poke around at stuff a lot; and that includes her appearance. :•)

As for Bacon, I guess I’ll just try to play around with different designs for his suit and stuff; mainly focusing on the slacks. I’ll decide whether or not I’m happy with the design at the end X•D

Royal Crown Revue performing Hey Pachuco live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 12 December 2009

The Royal Crown Revue (RCR) is a band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They are often credited with starting the Swing Revival movement. The band's musical style, however, transcends the pigeon-hole label that was given to them as a swing band (most noticeable in their rendition of Neil Diamond's "Solitary Man" and originals "The Contender" and "Walking Like Brando".) RCR has had great success on The Van's Warped Tour, touring with the B-52's and Pretenders, and appearances at the major US Jazz Festivals.

The band recently filmed a special episode of "Gene Simmons Family Jewels", with Gene taking the reins, to appear in March. The band was founded by Eddie Nichols, Mando Dorame, out of a love of Rockabilly, Punk, Jazz, Blues, Soul, and other styles of roots music . The Stern brothers, Mark and Adam, who hailed from the punk band Youth Brigade rounded out the group early on. After repeatedly leaving RCR to tour with Youth Brigade, the Sterns were told to leave the band in the mid-90s and it is now headed by singer Eddie Nichols, tenor saxophonist/arranger/writer Mando Dorame, trumpeter Scott Steen, and drummer Daniel Glass. Stronger than ever, the band continues to play to capacity crowds in Australia, Europe, and the US.

Because they are and they always was!!! For years they was able to maintain them poor and living in third world conditions on purpose just like hitler did to europe but while the attack was happening I was sharing videos of romany dancing like they can't even do it in europe... half naked and shit... you would go to the streets and it was full of jews, muslims, christians, arabic and romany, black, arabs... dressed as a progressed society in fact that pachuco style came from gypsies and arabs of there.
