#this is equivalent to a victorian lady showing her ankles

It's the equivalent of a Victorian lady showing her ankle.

The Haitani brothers must be really loving showing off their hands in every pose in pictures in the stage play XD They're so extra that it's hilarious.

They do seem to pose with their hands/ gloves a lot! This is probably what the actual Haitani's are like with all their poses too, they definitely had at least a phase of using their hands a lot too!

Morell showing us his neck feels like the equivalent of a Victorian lady showing us her ankle

YES.

Legit, I was drawing him and I felt like this was someone else. That's not Morell, that's gotta be some other dude.

The logical reason for him keeping his scarf on usually has to do with teeth damage. See, mushroom monsters have evolved to feature lips more often than not nowadays, but there's still some that continue to have lipless mouths, and as generations pass, that brings some problems.

Sure, they're formidable and his bite packs a lot of strength, but the weather causes him great discomfort at times. Especially the cold, Morell's teeth just scream at him during Winter, because they're always exposed and the very air hurts. It also offers protection for other types of stimulus and generally makes him feel safe.

Morell shows you his neck and immediately feels like a huge, blushing slut.

Responding/Boosting to some of the hcs i see in the #s

>First things first omggg im so fucking glad everyone likes cherub ranboo - im right i was SO RIGHT X]

>Eye forgor to mention this in the original post but agreed - same wavelenght - c!dream [or dreamXD either works] would be the Doc Scratch equivalent >:]

>I FORGOT WHAT THOSE LIL GUYS ARE FUCKING CALLED BUT CARAPACIAN BBH [I designed him in thought of Jack Noir lolol] AND PROSPITIAN SKEPPY IS SO CUTE AND BIG BRAINED >W<

>Yep ^w^!!! The collective hc [outside of dsmp x hs au] that c!George sleeps a lot I like and brought it here - I’ve kind of alluded to it in THIS comic - but the thing up with c!George in this au is that he’s permanently stuck in his dreams. Still fleshing it out but he would visit Prospit a lot in his sleep until that gets destroyed [can they do that?] and DreamXD transports his consciousness to his own separate dimension to protect him. He wants to wake up he wants to go free but alas he is stuck replaying memories of events in his mind that never happened [his strange ‘lore’ streams]

>This hc made me giggle a little bit - bias for penis shaped horns bc a friend of mine has a fantroll like that too whwhwh - I’d never draw it tho - drawing Quackity [no matter the au] without a hat no brim feels scandalous it’s like a victorian lady showing her ankles I feel sinful /)w(\

>Quite a bit of classpecting hcs in these mentions ur honour some c!Tommy ones

>The WHOLE slew of c!Wilbur classpects you guys fockin LOVE that dude huh

>HE WOULDN’T WEAR THE OUTFIT EVEN AS A JOKE im sorry the bard fit is so bad WHY the codpiece TTOTT - I do like him being a bard tho uwu its like his cc who is basically just some lanky 6′5ft bard 

>i neva said this before but I sorta hc c!Fundy as a Seer of Doom [idk if he is a Seer I had notes somewhere] and the idea of him and his dad c!Wilbur having the same class oooooo loike fatha like son interesting >:]c

>THIS EXPLANATION!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! From the classpect-analysis acc I’m reading and I quote “Rage is all about, fear, rage, tension, single-minded focus, and domination” A lot on which ties in with c!Wilbur especially with the things hes done ><

>THIS ONE TOO!!! From the same source as the Rage #: “Heart is about emotions, the soul, inner selves and instinct” And to me c!Wilbur is very much an emotionally driven person no matter how cold he can be. And from dahniwitchoflight analysis on heart classes: “Heart will never give equal weight to every possible choice or possibility, because they give special favour to any single outcome they consider the morally ‘right’ thing to do.”

Anyhow thank you to everyone who interacted to my silly dsmp x homestuck au I never expected it to fly that well but im glad - this shits like a team effort and I look forward to working with yall in the future for this >w<

Earl Phantomhive’s outfit translated to 2020 fashion!

Dear everyone, as promised in this post, what about O!Ciel’s fashion, and in particular his pants?

I have “translated” O!Ciel’s fashion into what it would have looked like to his contemporaries.

Now, let us break down why O!Ciel’s amazing fashion would translate to this m0nsTo$iTY from top to bottom.

The Hair

This one is arguably the simplest. In the Victorian Era, no respectable individual was supposed to have any hair dangling before their faces. Frances is right...

Although O!Ciel’s design looks very cute to us, to his contemporaries his hair would have looked like a dead spider and seaweed decided to fuse together, and reside on his head...

Do we all now understand why Frances always brings a comb with her when she has an appointment with her nephew and his butler?

The Top

That the young lord’s clothes are historically inaccurate is perhaps very widely known within this fandom, but just how historically inaccurate are they?

Needless to say, 1880s men’s fashion was not as intricately designed as O!Ciel’s. The attires O!Ciel wears for special occasions and illustrations are in fact women’s walking suits (day time wear). One only needs to google ‘19th century walking dress’, and many images of authentic pieces will show up that would have been quite familiar in the Earl’s wardrobe.

Not only are the decorations extremely feminine, so is the silhouette. Our boii’s jackets often have this peplum that were very popular among Victorian women, for they both exaggerated the hips as well as optically shrunk the waist.

What should O!Ciel be wearing then?

Well... Victorian men’s fashion was not very exciting, so I am in fact rather happy Yana threw “gender fashion accuracy” out of the window, because my eyes like candy.

Victorian men’s wear are primarily divided into three categories: frock coats, morning suits, and lounge suits, in order of formal to informal.

Some of our young Earl’s clothes in the regular manga appearances resemble the frock and the morning suit in design, so they are SOMEWHAT accurate, albeit way too elaborately decorated for ‘proper’ men’s wear.

Like I said before in the announcement post, would O!Ciel have to dress entirely historically accurately, he’d have to be dressed exactly like Tanaka.

The Bustle...

As explained in this post and this post, the bustle is an absolute MUST and STAR in any late Victorian dress.

Indeed, the bustle is on many if not most of O!Ciel’s costumes in illustrations, but also something only women would ever wear... besides, the bustle alone would also only be half of the full skirt.

Hence, for this ‘translation’ I gave O!Ciel a half-assed denim skirt. Why denim? Well, there is not ONE type of skirt that is in fashion in 2020, but this look is decidedly very modern, so denim it is!

The Trousers

Now, probably the part you all have been waiting for! What's up with the young master’s staple shorts?

In the English upper class there has been this longstanding tradition that boys who had not yet undergone the ritual of ‘breeching’ would wear shorts from the age 2 to 8. After reaching the proper age, boys would then be awarded their long-awaited full-trousers as a sign of having survived early childhood.

That is the reason you also never see young boys of British royalty in full trousers nowadays still.

In fact, wearing full trousers before a boy had been ‘breeched’ was considered plebeian, because lower class boys had to help out with work, and could not afford to have their legs exposed.

So essentially, O!Ciel almost always being put in shorts is the 1880s equivalent of him wearing baby trousers adorned with some nice Minions™ or dinosaurs prints. It really does take away any and all weight from O!Ciel’s proclamations that he is no child, does it not? (≽艸≼)

The Shoes

Obviously men’s shoes would not have high heels, we all know that, so I will not waste any time on explaining the obvious. The heels however, are probably not even the worst culprit in making O!Ciel’s shoes historically inaccurate.

First of all, by the late 19th century, the main type of footwear for men were ankle boots for everyday wear, and (opera) pumps for evening wear. The low-cut shoes O!Ciel is usually seen wearing are actually more similar to what men used to wear one- to two hundred years ago.

Then secondly, the oh-so-beloved long boots. The boots worn by O!Ciel are actually exactly 1889 accurate, except of course that they would be ladies’ boots. Surely most Victorians would see the young Earl’s boots and wonder whether he stole his mother’s shoes.

What about men’s boots? From the mid Victorian Era on, half-boots and long boots were already very rare, and if worn at all, then only for sport-like purposes, such as hunting and horse riding.

For this ‘translation’ I considered giving him UGGs with cute bows or other ultra feminine lolita boots. However, as ‘long boots’ on men are essentially sport wear, in the end I settled with high heeled Not!All-Stars™ with the contract sign for logo, cuz WHY NOT.

Well, that was that! I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making it! I just LOVE redesigning and historical fashion 💗
