#s3 Victorian Fashions

One Dress a Day Challenge

February: Orange Redux

Victoria (s3 e3, "Et in Arcadia") / Jenna Coleman as Queen Victoria

Not exactly a reblog, but I have featured this dress before. It was originally worn by Holliday Grainger as Louise Kendall in the 2017 version of My Cousin Rachel (see below). Sadly, we never got a full-length view of it in that movie, even though it was used in two different scenes. However, it was reused in season 3 of Victoria, where we get a much better look at it. particularly the skirt and the stitching on the bodice.

sometimes i watch new media a bit after it comes out and people have started tearing it apart and remember how critical thinking and the concept of researching something for more than 30 second before making a claim on something you don’t actually know about are increasingly becoming less and less common

[aziraphales-library]

Hello beautiful librarians! Thank you for keeping me sorted with fic to fill the long gap between now and series three. (As I'm writing this S3 hasn't been commissioned yet but who knows, maybe by the time you post it will be?!)

Anyway, I'm looking for some recs for spicy fic, Aziraphale/Crowley pairing, where one of them is wearing lingerie / stockings and the other is taking their time to appreciate it fully before ravishing them. Any gender presentation, any "downstairs effort", as part of a larger fic or just a smaller delicious scene. Anything is welcome! I just saw some lingerie type fanart and I need moooore! Big thanks in advance!

Hi! We have a #lingerie tag. Here are some more fics to add...

The Way That You Hold Me by AngieWords (E)

"Have you ever had any thoughts about my other...forms?" Crowley is interested to find out how Aziraphale will react to exploring a different corporation together. Aziraphale is very interested indeed. Or: Crowley gets nostalgic for his femme-presenting days

Underdrawing by spunknbite (E)

Lace. Just a hint of it: white, peeping out from under the waistband of Aziraphale’s trousers. A finely woven pattern of sprigs of roses and briony linked together with intricate diamond thread work. There was something vaguely Victorian about it, suggesting a handcrafted wedding veil or perhaps the contents of a hope chest. The lattice clung tightly to the pale skin beneath it, pearly lace on pearly skin, creating an almost tattoo-like appearance as if the design was threaded onto his very flesh in only a shade lighter than his own tone. Well, fuck.

Pin An Angel Up by Dibs_Drabbles (E)

Aziraphale was a lingerie model for a newlyweds' magazine, under the guise of Miss Azra Fell. Despite her short-term career, Miss Fell was granted her own special edition magazine, featuring her and only her. The angel had kept it hidden in plain view, quite oblivious to the chance of a certain demon stumbling upon it. And that certain demon was very much thrilled with what he found. - Aziraphale modelled for a lingerie magazine back in 1950, Crowley finds them and thus uncovers a whole arsenal of kinks to explore for the two of them.

Spread Your Wings by foolishlovers (E)

In the glamorous world of high fashion, Crowley shines as a household name. Unfortunately, so does supermodel Aziraphale, who repeatedly lands bookings for the same jobs. When a photoshoot mishap traps them in a studio overnight, their simmering animosity escalates to its peak. Literally.

Tryst at the Ritz by almaasi (E)

Aziraphale nodded, and said, sweetly, “After dinner, Crowley, you and I, we’re going up to a private, luxury suite, and we’re going to make love.” Crowley blasted red wine across the table in a fine spray. (A fic in which Crowley and Aziraphale get a wiggle on, in the Biblical sense.)

Dangerous like Spun Sugar by Nejinee (E)

Crowley really wasn't prepared for any of this. She was a demon of hell, a fallen angel, and also - evidently - a fucking idiot. -- Or, how Crowley had never cared about the inherent sexiness of lingerie until Aziraphale started talking about her own lingerie.

[connorsnothereeither]

were there any specific styles/cultures you took inspiration from when designing the telchin clothing styles?

Honestly the tricky answer is: a lot-

Initially, it was very much just like “okay does this shape and colour palette and design look cool? Sick” and just throwing thoughts at a wall.

When it came to defining those broader shapes/colours and adding things like specific cuts, details, patterns, etc, I sort of worked backwards to grab inspirations.

Ulysses initial/main outfit is honestly quite Medieval, European (but notably Norse/Scandinavian in its cut/style), albeit with a ridiculously plunging neckline for some reason lol-

(it was even a bit early on that every time one of the cast drew Ulysses, we’d make his neckline just a little bit sluttier)

HOWEVER the details on the collar and sleeves are directly lifted from ancient Greco-Roman designs, specifically influenced by the “Greek Key” or “Greek Meander” pattern which can be seen in pottery, jewellery and architecture all over the ancient Mediterranean!

Specific to Ulysses, his clothing has currently reached a fairly fairytale-esque “fantasy” stage, drawing a lot of early Renaissance and pirate-style influences with his little poet-shirt and sash, since he’s been on the Overworld so much, and is slowly growing to become a part of that culture and world, and I really wanted to show that in his clothing changes.

Honestly, a lot of the broader telchin clothing when I have sketched it up is very Greco-Roman, at least in the way I tend to depict it (that is my field of expertise, given my degree haha) but there’s honestly a lot of broader Mediterranean ties in as well. The army and their armour is designed to be very Ancient Macedonian, and a lot of the more casual clothing skew very Ancient Egyptian.

Canonically the Telchin clothing style also definitely develops rapidly over the course of the war with the drowned, mostly for practicality sake more than fashion (loose flowing fabrics aren’t doing anyone much good escaping the undead), leading to an almost 1950s/60s American aesthetic? Of course still mingled with the Greco-Roman patterns. Especially in the way the scientists are presented in lore/my art, they always had a very retro-60’s almost sci-fi scientist aesthetic. If I was to give it a fancy/proper-sounding name I think “Wartime-Americana Retro-Classicism” would be more or less it, potentially lmao-

(You can even sort of see similar shapes and patterns in that first reference image to Ulysses eventual design!)

There was of course always a flair of Victorian-Mad-Scientist too, because I have a bit of a brand and I can’t help myself. And given the blurring of science, alchemy and magic in Fable I think it definitely fits.

It’s a shame Tumblr only lets me upload 10 images per post on mobile because I have A BUNCH of reference images for all of these stages of the Ulysses/broader telchin clothing design lol, but sadly I can’t include them here :(

But I hope this was somewhat useful/interesting!! I’ve had so much fun coming up with this kind of stuff over the course of Fable s3 for the telchin and I’m very grateful to Ocie and Metta for kind of just letting me go ham on a bunch of aspects like this lol-

[ssjandtechno]

Let us compose a list of things to watch until the Disney CEO finds a brain to use and comes back to the table

If you haven't already, Broadchurch - British TV detective drama with David Tennant and Olivia Coleman. CW for murder (unsurprisingly), child death, sexual violence S3 only. Nothing is shown, nothing is seen, it is a drama about the human effects of crime rather than the acts themselves, but you have to go in to it willing to be upset. P.S. The cast didn't know who the murderer was when shooting season 1 and had a betting pool. P.P.S. Except one cast member who was told in error. They kept very quiet

If you want something whimsical and impressively skilfull, Bernadette Banner on youtube - fashion historian/living archaeologist. Sews old clothes with old methods, occasionally does things like making a scandalous onlyfans page with scandalous victorian ankle content, or 'reviewing' 'historical' halloween constumes. No CWs apply (unless you're scandalised by the scandalous ankles)

Please add! Suggest obscure/underrated content, give it a blurb, and CWs if necessary

[sardonic-the-writer]

HIIII here to infodump about schlatt not expecting anything so DW you're just the first person I follow that I thought of who likes him as well sorry if this is annoying just havinf lots and looots of thiughts

CONTEXT PARAGRAPH FIRST

OK SO theres this yt series called escape the night it's made by joey Graceffa and basically each season the format is that a bunch of YouTubers are invited to some place (mansion, ball, 70s carnival town, museum) for a party, adventure, etc but they actually have to fight for their lives and do a bunch of challenges and puzzles and whatnot and each episode 2 people are voted in by the group in a final death challenge to get the thing™️ that they need and the winner gets the item they need loser dies AND YEAH EACH SEASON IS THEMED SEASON 1 IS ROARING 20S S2 IS VICTORIAN ERA S3 IS 70S RETRO CARNIVAL AND S4 (even though they're in a museum with different themes in it) I THIIINK ITS THE 60S??? REALLY REALLY COOL CONCEPT THOUGH ITS SUPER FUN

OKAY NOW ONTO SCHLATT-

I've been thinking a lot a lot about a 5th season and what YouTubers would be good for it if it ever does happen and my mind went to Jschlatt. There's this one guy from season 2 victorian era one and his name was destorm power. Each person gets a kind of "role" themed around the time period based on their personality and outfit, and destorm was the railroad tycoon.

AND WHEN I SAY THAT TJIS FUCKER WAS THE EQUIVALENT OF FUCKING SCHLATT. OH MY GOD.

SOME SHIT ABOUT DESTORM IN THE SHOW JUST FOR FRAME OF REFERENCE TO SHOW HIS RESEMBLANCE WITH SCHLATT-

draws suspicion to himself for NO REASON he's just really menacing and standoffish towards the group

gets voted into the first death challenge with this chick and wins, watches her get mauled by vampires and yells "KILL HER! KILL HER" and has to be dragged away so he doesn't die next

Starts beef with the bf of the girl who died in the challenge and calls him weak and a baby for crying about her death

Almost died one time after being seduced by spider women and then tranquilized

"I am king"

"these bitches can't kill me"

"I am the best"

"I don't run, I strut"

AND JUST OVERALL VERY UNWILLING TO WORK WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP HES SOOOOO SILLY AND MY FAV FROM THAT SEASON SCHLATT IS BASICALLY A MORE AGGRESSIVE VERSION OF HIM AND IF THEY DO A SEASON 5 IM BEGGING THAT THEY DO A DYSTOPIAN FUTURE ONE OR IF HE WAS IN SEASON 3 THEN HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SERIAL KILLER AS HIS ROLE OR SOME SHIT HED BE PERFECT FOR SEASON 3 BECAUSE HIS MUTTON CHOPS ARE ALREADY ON PAR WITH THE 70S FASHION!!! SCHLATT IS SUCH A CHARACTER AND HE NEEEEEEDS TO BE IN THIS SOOOOO MUCHHHHHHH

Anon before reading this, I had no idea this was even a thing. Now I'm fully invested and agreeing with you completely.

Now I'm just imagining Schlatt being in like a seventies typical suit or get up and cackling as he runs to do different challenges.

BBTB2020 Fanworks Masterpost

We know this post is late, but if you’ve been paying attention to the news this week, shit’s been going down and everything is terrible. Luckily, we have 17 brand-new fics to help distract you from the fact that the world is on fire. 

Thanks for your patience, and big thanks to everyone for participating in this year’s Bringing Back the Boosh event. All of our creators deserve mad kudos and comments for creating so many wonderful works under such extraordinary circumstances. 

Here’s a masterlist of all the works submitted to our AO3 collection! Don’t forget to let our artists and writers know how much you appreciate their work.

“Naboo and the Marriage of Incovenience”, by @littlebooshmaid for @iocococo, The Mighty Boosh, Mature

Naboo receives some unwelcome news from Xooberon: everyone on the planet is supposed to be married by the age of one hundred, or face execution. Now they’ve caught up with him, it looks as if only marrying Howard will save Naboo from certain death. But how will Vince feel about that? And will anything where the Shaman Council is involved turn out as expected?

“Cut Your Bangs”, by @the-stoned-ranger for @anciientboosh, Nathan Barley, Explicit

After slipping in his sobriety, Dan Ashcroft, forty-year-old fuckup, attends Alcoholics Anonymous and gets his shit together. It just takes almost losing everything to motivate him to do it. This started off as a simple fic about Dan learning how to have a relationship with Jones, and became a 40k epic of a redemption arc. For reasons known only to the muse, Nathan Barley insisted on tagging along for the ride, as he so often does when Dan Ashcroft is concerned.

“The Wrong Kind of Monsters”, by @concupiscence66 for @littleredchucks​ , The Mighty Boosh, Explicit

Howard and Vince were both lonely and lost, but when they met... it was actually pretty awful, but stories can always be re-written. In a world of magic and monsters, there's no reason to settle for just one reality.RedChucks asked for "A second shot at a first kiss" and I went a bit off the rails here. The story is about... reinvention. I adore RedChucks, so I hope they forgive the liberties I took with the prompt.

“we've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen”, by @silentorator for @badbadbucky, The Mighty Boosh, Teen (you must be logged into ao3 to read this fic)

Vince and Howard go to a psychic to get their tarot cards read.

“The Simple Life”, by @bob-skeleton for @peacockbluey, Mature

A look at a more mature Howince, with a lot of backstory of how they got there.

“Borrowed Light”, by @iocococo for @bob-skeleton, The Mighty Boosh, Explicit

A Victorian AU!When Howard Moon moved to London to pursue his dreams... well, he probably shouldn't have. Turns out getting a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra isn't as easy as he'd hoped. He's broke, nearly homeless, and bombarded by the pesky attention of his housemate, Vince Noir, who doesn't annoy him nearly as much as Howard pretends he does. With a unsympathetic landlord, a boss dead-set on making his life miserable, and magical shenanigans afoot, can Howard ever sort out what he really feels for Vince? Will he ever achieve his dream job? Will I actually have written a semi-competent summary of this fic by the time I stop typing this?Find out in Borrowed Light!

“Walking a mile in unfashionable shoes”, by @littleredchucks​ for @kateyboosh, The Mighty Boosh, Teen

Howard makes a wish and things go slightly wrong, though more so for Vince than for Howard, which is strange for them both. This was meant to get sexier at the end but it didn't end up that way. My apologies.

“The Kiss of a Mermaid”, by @datcilly for @r3lilith, Teen 

And then Howard was back in that dreadful wet cave. His heart was beating fast but filled with determination because this time - he was on a mission.

“The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known”, by @peacockbluey for @littlebooshmaid, The Mighty Boosh, Explicit

When a spell gone wrong forces Howard and Vince to get closer to each other in more ways than one, certain things are forced into the open. Written for the Bringing Back the Boosh Fic Exchange 2020. Slight AU, set post-Party.

“you can't always get what you want (but if you try sometimes)”, by @culumacilinte for @the-stoned-ranger, Sweet, Explicit

Five times Pete caught Stitch having a wank, or: four times Pete caught Stitch having a wank and one time Stitch tried and failed to get caught, or: these two idiots are kinky and make bad decisions but it all works out in the end.

“If You Think This is Real Life”, by @anciientboosh for @chagrinfalls, The Mighty Boosh, Mature

An adventure is had, strange things start happening about the flat, and Howard is sick. Guess it's up to Vince to save the day. Should be easy right?

“Touched”, by @agarlandoffreshlycuttears  for @datcilly​, The Might Boosh, Teen

A prompt for the Bring Back the Boosh challenge:Likes: Naboo, the Shaman Council, Gen, a good laugh

Pairings: Open to anything but only platonic :)

Prompt 1: A stag tour to Xooberon does absolutely not go as planned. Prompt 2: Howard and Vince mess with the Occult again, bad juju is afoot!So I mixed the two together (sort of): Howard goes missing again and Naboo has finally had enough of his pet humans being a complete bloody nightmare and decides to get to the bottom of why they can't go five minutes without something terrible happening to them (and thus Naboo).

“Worst Dressed List”, by @badbadbucky for@agarlandoffreshlycuttears The Mighty Boosh, Teen

Vince finds himself on Cheekbone's Worst Dressed List. And even worse, Howard is on the best dressed list.

“Call the Fashion Police”, by @badbadbucky for @silentorator, The Mighty Boosh, Teen

After the owners of a high end fashion shop make fun of Vince's clothing designs and Howard, his slightly absent minded boyfriend, fails to notice for far too long, vince decides to get rid of all his clothes. Now Howard must defend his boyfriend's designs and unravel a fashion conspiracy.

“I’m Having a Party”, by @r3lilith for @fucking-pimberly-i-guess​, The Mighty Boosh, Teen

Vince notices that Howard has not been the same since the disastrous party he threw for his birthday, and decides that another party is just the thing to cheer him up.

“Episode 9″, by @kateyboosh for @concupiscence66​, The Mighty Boosh, Mature

What happened between Series 1 and 2? Why did the Zooniverse close? Why are Vince and Howard so sexy and half naked in Series 2?All these questions from the lovely concupiscence66 answered inside, along with healthy doses of mischief, mayhem, fluff, angst, and smut, references to later events in S2 and S3, and blatant disregard for the Zooniverse map.Connie, thank you for the challenge of this prompt. I sincerely hope I did it justice, and that you enjoy reading.

“Miseducation”, by @chagrinfalls for @culumacilinte​, The Mighty Boosh, Gen

Howard goes on a school field trip. It doesn't go as planned.

Carl = Charlie = Victor?

The appearance of Victor Trevor in TFP as a little pirate friend from Sherlock’s childhood, who got trapped in a well where he drowned, is intriguing to say the least; it doesn’t seem to connect with anything else we had seen in the show, except for the dog Redbeard. But Victor is not a new element for Sherlockians over the world, and I think this meta by @sagestreet gives an excellent explanation of how Victor fits into the show on a meta level. But what about the textual and subtextual levels? I imagine this has been brought up before, but something just seemed to click into place, so I’ll just throw my thoughts on it out here anyway. There are some pieces of the puzzle that stands out to me, so let’s try to put them together into something - more or less - coherent. 

So, for a start: what exactly do we know about Victor Trevor from ACD canon (The Gloria Scott, GLOR)? I’ve highlighted certain facts that caught my attention in this recollection (Sidney Paget’s illustrations are all found here):

Well, basically this:

The story about Victor Trevor was Sherlock Holmes’ first case ever.

Sherlock got to know Victor when they were both at college.

They became friends (Sherlock’s only friend) because Victor’s dog bit Sherlock so he ended up in a sick bed where Victor spent a lot of time with him.

Victor came from a rich family, and Sherlock spent a summer with Victor and his father (Trevor senior; a “squire”) at their large, old-fashioned house with high chimneys.

In what is described as his ‘first case’, Sherlock deduced (parts of) and eventually learned what had happened to Victor’s father, involving a ship with convicts (Trevor senior among them), a mutiny, explosions, killings, shipwreck and Trevor senior ending up hiding under false name for the rest of his life.

Hudson, a surviving criminal from the event, showed up at the mansion, getting drunk and blackmailing Victor’s father with the threat of exposure, which would forever sully his and his family’s name.

Victor’s father's real name was James Armitage, the initials of which Sherlock discovered from his secret tattoo. He got suspicious of Sherlock, who could deduce his criminal past, which led to Sherlock leaving the place.

Victor showed Sherlock a message with a skip code that had meant imminent danger to Trevor senior. It’s a threat of exposure, the fear from which he never recovered; it gave him a stroke that lead to his death.

The skip code read, after deciphering: “The game is up. Hudson has told all. Fly for your life.”

After his father’s death, Victor ended up “heart-broken” in a tea plantation in India. Sherlock and Victor never seemed to have met again after that.

This is Sherlock, many years later, telling John about the message Victor had him decipher: 

“Yet the fact remains that the reader, who was a fine, robust old man, was knocked clean down by it as if it had been the butt end of a pistol.”

“You arouse my curiosity,” said I. 

Now, this does not bear the slightest similarity to what we learn about Victor in TFP, does it? But what if his story is indeed included in BBC Sherlock, but not (just) in TFP; what if the story about Victor is scattered all over the episodes in the show? And what if this scattered story about Victor is meant to give us clues about the emotional trauma in Sherlock’s past that made him shut down his feelings? Under the cut, let’s take a closer look at some elements of the episodes from this perspective, to see if this idea would make any sense:

ASiP 

This is only the first episode of the show, but I think some traces of Victor might be found already here. James Phillimore, 18, who seemed to have some problems with internalised homophobia (judging by how he refused to share an umbrella with his friend in the heavy rain), was found dead near a sports centre, seemingly having committed suicide with a poison. But Sherlock’s investigation makes it clear that Phillimore is one of the victims of serial-killer cabbie Jeff Hope. Phillimore was a student at Roland Kerr’s College for Further Education, an old building with Victorian design (see my recent meta + additions for a more in-depth analysis of the significance of this college). 

In canon James Phillimore figures as an unsolved problem in The Problem of Thor Bridge (THOR):

“A problem without a solution may interest the student, but can hardly fail to annoy the casual reader. Among these unfinished tales is that of Mr. James Phillimore, who, stepping back into his own house to get his umbrella, was never more seen in this world.”

(The main plot of THOR, however, is a triangle drama where one of the involved parts commits suicide but tries to arrange it so their rival is accused of murder.) Roland Kerr’s college is also where Jeff Hope takes Sherlock to talk to him and make him kill himself at the end of ASiP, and where (supposedly) John shoots Hope. The college is also represented as Sherlock’s Mind Palace in HLV, where he finds comfort and strength to survive a gunshot  by mentally summoning his childhood’s dog Redbeard.

TGG 

Several people have pointed out, about this last episode of S1, that Moriarty’s five “Greenwich pips” transmitted by a pink telephone (=heart metaphor) in TGG represent the five series in BBC Sherlock. Moriarty’s ‘great game’ with pips in it begins with an explosion close to 221B. 

The case of Carl Powers is what comes from the first pip, but it also ties into the fifth and final pip. In the first pip we learn that the death of Carl Powers was Sherlock’s first case, an he has saved a press clip of the boy from this case:

In TFP, however, we’re told that The Musgrave Ritual was his first case. None of them is canon consistent, however, since ACD told us that Holmes first case was The Gloria Scott. According to Sherlock’s discoveries in TGG, Carl was a young swimming athlete who was poisoned by Jim Moriarty, which lead to him drowning in the pool. The official version from the police, however, was that Carl died in the water due to some sort of ‘fit’. The case of the fifth pip takes place at the swimming pool where Carl died.  

Strangely enough, Sherlock makes an appointment with Jim exactly there, and this pool is also where Jim tosses the valuable memory stick that Sherlock has recovered. The Carl Powers case was never solved, though, and the Bruce Partington memory stick was never recovered. Which means, that if the fifth pip is foreshadowing S5, the Carl Powers case might come up again in S5.

THoB

This whole episode of S2 is about a guy, Henry Knight, who is haunted by  a childhood trauma in which he lost his father. Sherlock seems particularly engaged in this ‘cold case’ with modern times consequences. For the first time we see him shaking with fear after having (supposedly) sighted the same monstrous ‘hound’ that has affected Henry since he was a boy. 

But it turns out that “there never was any monster”; Henry’s father was killed by his own friend. (Please read @sagestreet‘s brilliant ‘Follow the dogs’ meta series for subtextual explanations of how the ‘hound’ mythology represents homophobia, and many other very interesting ideas). Another important fact that we learn in this episode, is that Sherlock considers John his only friend.

TRF 

In one of Sherlock’s cases in the last episode of S2, he and John visit a boarding school, from which two children have been kidnapped. Sherlock’s sudden rant against Miss MacKenzie is a little bit weird, though, isn’t it? 

Moriarty has poisoned the children by luring them to eat toxic chocolate. In this episode Sherlock and John are very much exposed and speculated about in the media. Suddenly Sherlock is accused of the kidnapping and Moriarty blackmails Sherlock by threatening John, which (supposedly) leads to Sherlock killing himself (but he actually disappears by faking his suicide).

TEH 

in the first episode of S3, when Sherlock comes back from the dead, he immediately deduces that John’s fiancee ‘Mary’ has a secret tattoo and is a liar: 

Later, in HLV, it turns out she has been hiding under a false name and lied about her criminal past and has many deaths on her conscience as an assassin. Sherlock also observes that ‘Mary’ can recognise a skip code; in fact there’s a skip code sent as a warning about an imminent danger to John. 

Sherlock deciphers it, and the resulting message is “Save John Watson”, which leads him to where John is trapped in a bonfire. 

HLV

At the end of the last episode of S3, John is threatened by the ruthless blackmailer and media magnate CAM, who flicks John’s face in front of Sherlock and threatens them both with exposure in his news paper. 

I’ve written about this in The Threat of Exposure and other metas about media’s role in BBC Sherlock (X, X).

TST 

In the first episode of S4, young Charlie Welsborough is found dead in his own car outside his rich (and Thatcher-loving) parents’ mansion, when his car is hit by another car and explodes. 

Rather than (as is his MO in S1 and S2) investigating the crime scene to find out what really happened, Sherlock quickly concludes merely from police data that Charlie had made himself invisible by disguising as a car seat. 

According to Sherlock, instead of surprising his father by coming out of the car, as he (supposedly) had planned, Charlie died instantly from some sort of ‘seizure’, and sat there dead until the car exploded a week later. (Added to this case is also the smashing of a Thatcher bust, which later in TST leads to Sherlock discovering a valuable memory stick). 

What bothers me however, apart from the fact that Sherlock’s explanation is quite illogical, is the subtextual implications: a) Charlie is queer-coded, 

(the rainbow is just one of the clues) and b) dying inside one’s own car like that is suspiciously similar to a common suicide method. The idea that Charlie (supposedly) died from a “seizure” ties him closely to Carl Powers - his namesake in Sherlock’s first case, who according to the police died from a “fit” in the water. And Sherlock was reminded of Carl’s case directly after an explosion in TGG. Only this time it’s Sherlock who jumps to conclusions about a ‘seizure’, rather than the police. Which makes me believe that this event represents something entirely different inside Sherlock’s Memory Palace/Mind Theatre. Something dwelling in Sherlock’s subconscious, possibly involving a young (boy)friend ‘coming out’ to a conservative, homophobic father in the Thatcher era. And a possible suicide (or at least disappearance?) by said (boy)friend. Victor Trevor travelled to India in canon, while Charlie Welsborough was traveling in Tibet before he died. (Sounds a bit similar to Sherlock traveling in Tibet/Himalaya during the canon hiatus/MHR doesn’t it?).

TFP

In this last episode of S4, theres an explosion at 221B Baker Street, caused by a ‘patience grenade’: 

Sherlock and John suddenly appear on a ship as pirates:

They take over the boat and force their way onto Sherrinford Island where Eurus is imprisoned. This is also the only episode where Victor Trevor is mentioned, but he’s not a young man; he’s supposed to be a kid from Sherlock’s childhood - his best (and only) friend. Victor is very much presented as a John mirror; short blond hair, checked shirt and trapped in a well. 

Sherlock and Victor were playing pirates outside Sherlock’s childhood home, the mansion Musgrave Hall, which apparently had high chimneys. 

Sherlock was called ‘Yellowbeard’ and Victor ‘Redbeard’. In TFP we also see John and Sherlock hijacking a fishing boat and telling the captain that they’re pirates. In spite of both Sherlock’s dog Redbeard and Victor figuring in early snippets of Sherlock’s dreams in S4, Sister Sentiment Eurus later tells him that they never had a dog; 

Sherlock was not allowed to have one, since their father was ‘allergic’. We also learn that Eurus (Sherlock’s supposedly forgotten sister) killed Victor by trapping him in a well, because she was jealous that her brother Sherlock had a friend and she was not included in their games. Nothing more is explained about Victor, however (and I feel sure this storyline isn’t over yet). 

Victor never came out of the well; he drowned there, but at the end of TFP John seems to be trapped in the same well as Victor, and discovers his bones in it. In the last minute, with a raising water level, Sherlock saves John from the well by solving a puzzle and thereby finding and embracing Eurus.

Conclusion

So, I do believe that we have most of the ingredients of canon’s story about Victor Trevor and the ship The Gloria Scott scattered over the whole show: colleges and boarding schools; a dog; two best friends who were separated; a young man who might have committed suicide, a homophobic father; a mansion; a secret tattoo; a skip code with an important message; someone seemingly innocent with a criminal past; a ship with pirates (= mutinous criminals); dangerous explosions; blackmail and threats of exposure; a trip to Asia. And the back story is merged with the show’s present. What all this might mean for the next series, we can only speculate, but I do think that we have a pattern here. 

Thanks to everyone who has had the patience to read all this. :) Tagging some people who might be interested: @sarahthecoat @tjlcisthenewsexy @ebaeschnbliah @fellshish @gosherlocked @loveismyrevolution @sagestreet @sherlockshadow @darlingtonsubstitution @devoursjohnlock @tendergingergirl @kateis-cakeis @csi-baker-street-babes @88thparallel @timilina @dieseldrakilis @sherlock-overflow-error @elldotsee

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

The only way I could explain that is that Lena never learn nothing about clothes. She doesn’t care and Lilian and her minions never teach her; so the reason she is like that is bc they want to show that even with all the money in the world Lena doesn’t care/understand fashion( if we put aside the fact that in this show nothing make sense).

That could work in fic, but not on screen, because there’s nothing in canon to support it.

In fact, I would argue the opposite is true– because of Lillian hypercriticism (which IS canon), Lena would ensure she knows exactly what styles flatter her and avoid the ones that don’t like the plague.

That much can be supported by her early season 2 outfits. She dresses appropriately for the office and in cuts that flatter her. It’s really mostly in S3 that it’s gone off the rails, starting with the blue satiny top in the premiere and ending with off-the-shoulder dress in a laboratory setting.

But even if she was literally dressed every morning of her life like a Victorian poppet, SHE CAN AFFORD TO KEEP IT GOING.

She has enough money to have a personal designer make her clothes and fit her every week and dress her every morning.

So, I just don’t get it. And I don’t want to be the person who bitches about a woman’s clothing when she offers so much more, but as far as costume-as-a-storytelling-device goes, I’m baffled and intrigued.

I hated that in s3. It was so hamfisted. Buffy always had an eclectic mix of color & styles and wore plenty of black long before Faith's arrival and long after her departure.

I have noticed Willow's outfits tie into her arcs but I think it's true for all of them.

Buffy wears white to fight Big Bads unless it's personal then wears black. When The Master killed her in Prophecy Girl he took off her black jacket so she was only in white (dress & heels) since she was the lamb, the sacrificial virgin. In Bargaining we see they buried her in a black dress. In Afterlife Dawn put her in a white shirt then next morning Buffy chooses a black shirt, feeling dead. She wore red when she found her mom's dead body. Joyce wore a red dress walking upstairs (symbolizes heaven, Buffy walks down those stairs the night they ripped her out of Heaven) in Xander's dream in Restless, symbolizing her death. Then in s5 Glory is introduced in a red dress, going with Spike's "death is on your heels, baby" comment to Buffy in Fool for Love, but death wore heels too. Buffy wears a red blouse in Once More With Feeling when she almost dances to death from suicidal depression.

Xander dressed as a lower mid class geeky dork. Giles hid his Ripper past in tweed suits but as the seasons wore on was in more jeans and comfortable clothes. Riley was the Iowa bred Marine and it showed. Cordelia wore expensive womanly dresses and prep school outfits. When Drusilla was sick she wore old fashioned dresses similar to a Victorian invalid. Spike's whole persona is tied to his look, from poet to punk.

In Welcome to the Hellmouth, Angel & Darla both wear a black & white mixture, a clue he was a vampire. He wore velvet going with Buffy's comment on another vampire "only someone whose been underground would think that was still a look." He gets made fun of in Lie to Me when a wannabe vamp kid wears the exact same outfit as him.

In WTTH Buffy holds up a revealing dress then a conservative dress then decides to wear pants. In Him while under the love spell she puts on a plaid schoolgirl skirt (one of the only times she wears a short skirt after high school) to seduce RJ. In Hells Bells Buffy wears a shirt that reads "I survived" after the disastrous wedding. Buffy puts on lilac in As You Were when she breaks off the sexual affair with Spike. In Pangs Buffy dons a black hat, wanting a Thanksgiving and having to fight Indigenous spirits. In Selfless, First-as-Buffy wears white as she comforts Spike then real Buffy comes in all tough love wearing black. In The in Team Buffy is in a bright orange halter to stand out amidst the military camo. In Buffy v Dracula she's in a tight camisole despite never sleeping like that alone, the night she's fed on. Buffy's recurring (Ted, Becoming #2, Helpless) blue overalls of sadness & fragility.

really interesting how in the episode bad girls it starts with buffy wearing feminine, bright colors like all-lilac ensembles, until she starts getting caught up with faith and her “bad girl” ways, in which she starts dressing like faith by wearing all black. but then by the end of the episode, after they have both realised their errors, she is back to dressing in her own way: in the all lilac ensemble. i admire how the show subtly expresses the characters’ internal turmoil and development through the outfits.
