Lost Tomb Lewks, Part 5

(Masterpost) (Other Canary Content)

Warning: Spoilers for The Lost Tomb Reboot Season 1

Look 21: belongs to Liu Sang, and it’s one of my very favorites. Liu Sang’s actor, Liu Chang, has the face of a pre-Raphaelite nymph...

...and a body built like a brick shithouse.

The very slender plot explanation for this epic bod reveal is that Liu Sang is changing into his working kit, and Pangzi is razzing him for having a tattoo-in-progress of a qilin, to match his idol. But the tattoo is not nearly as interesting as...everything else about his torso, frankly.

This look features a six-pack you could shred cheese on, eye-catching trapezius muscles, and prominent clavicles. Liu Sang’s exquisite physical presence provides an interesting contrast to his bitchy demeanor and selfish personality, which are prominent at this point in the story.

Later he will get whumped into a proper sense of Wu Xie adoration being a beloved and devoted part of the team and many viewers’ favorite boi, but that process hasn’t started yet.

Liu Sang’s watch is fancier than Wu Xie’s watch. It’s...round, and it tells time.

(more behind the cut!)

As befits a professional model an antique dealer, Liu Sang’s working outfit is flattering and cool, with a snug olive green coat with black detailing, and khaki pants that are either dark blue or darkest grey. Like everyone else on the scene, he’s got shit kicker boots and tactical gloves to go with the rest of what he’s wearing. Unlike everyone else, his hair has auburn highlights, which go well with the warm tones of his skin.

In later episodes we see that the jacket has a big X on the back, which looks cool and is a bold choice for a guy who is headed into dangerous places with companions who don’t like him.

While underground, he accessorizes this look with a whistle, used for mapping via sound waves. Not to be objectifying on main but...

OP might have given the whistle its own gifset, over here.

Product-placement Interlude: This orange drink looks refreshing and delicious! Just like the sort of thing everyone would like to drink, pass around, discuss, and point with.

Look 22 is Wu Xie in his spelunking gear, but this time with “oh crap, I’m blind” eye coloring.

This look is a good one for when you are getting ready to become possessed or crazy or being overtaken by a crustacean allergy so that you try to kill your bro with a shovel.

It’s also a good look for when your bro wants to troll you about your good looks by waving fire in your face.

Excellent fourth-wall break, Pangzi. We do love Zhu Yilong’s eyelashes out here in fandom land.

Look 23 is Princess Mute’s blue hanfu. It’s a bit worse for wear, after centuries underground and floating around in the water, but it’s still got a nice color and it looks ethereal and pretty when she’s being pulled up out of the tomb. Too bad she has to go spend her future days in a crate. Princess Mute is one of my favorite crustaceans characters in this wacky show.

Look 24 is Wu Xie’s black undershirt. We’re meant to believe he’s wearing this under his other shirt and that it came out of the tomb looking this good.

It looks like it might be machine-knit rayon, based on the sheen and the small folds and wrinkes in the fabric, as opposed to the larger folds you see with something made of cotton. Anyway it’s got a nice fit and it looks comfortable.

Look 25 is Wu Xie’s party outfit, which is hard to see, like every damn thing in this show, but has some interesting details. The jacket has a darker color for the placket and around the collar, with triangular insets at the shoulders.

It has flap pockets and at the waist it has straps with buttons in place of a belt, reminiscent of a vintage miltary or marching band uniform, although I can’t recall the locale or era.

This outfit is suitable for kicking back with your friends and family. Wu Xie is an interesting hero, because he is extroverted, friendly, fast-to-warm-up, and rarely in a bad mood, even when dying. In this scene he plays pool, sings, drinks, roams around chatting with friends, graciously receives heart eyes from Liu Sang, and then sits down for a long, friendly talk with his uncle.

It’s nice to see a hero whose troubles are primarily situational, and who isn’t struggling with a hidden dark side. I don’t personally relate to Wu Xie as much as I relate to an obviously traumatized character like Liu Sang, but Wu Xie is a lot of fun to watch and to root for, and it’s clear why his friends value him so highly.

Look 26 is Liu Sang’s new glasses, which are gorgeous, and are perfect for giving Wu Xie heart eyes. Liu Sang is much too young to need this much lens real estate [says middle-aged OP from behind her large trifocal lenses] but they look great on him.

More Lewks coming soon!

for prompts, maybe nice happy stanpat drabble with a baby? possibly featuring other losers as extended family

I love this ask so much I wanna marry it and bud u don't know how long I spent trying to make it into a ficlet or even a Drabble or anything with pretty words but I guess I just forgot how to write: buuuut:: ((& IT never happened in this verse Bc I do what I want::))Their first kid is this little girl named Micah. And pat is STOKED and d-I-y-ing that absolute fuck outta this nursery. Which. Don't look... great??? Stan and ben have come in in the middle of the night to "fix" a number of her projects. But they leave the dresser she's covered in glitter glue be. (Ben also built her crib. Pat cried. So did ben. Stan awkwardly left the room.) Stan is... apprehensive. Like stan just doesn't objectively know how to Dad which makes stan nervous Bc he's stan he need to know what to do. They're also the first of the gangTM to have kids by a long shot. And when it's announced it's a baby girl stan is like yup this'll just be a mommy daughter thing that's okay.Stan is Very Wrong.Stan Loves this baby. Which like, of course, he was always going to love the baby. But he LOVES this baby. Micah has dark barely-there wispy curls "think it's a Jew?" And ... so many outfits. Stan needs to stop buying this baby clothes. And that like little baby harness thing? Stan has it on all the time snskskxj. And then one day stan shows up to the functionTM (watching game of thrones at Mike's) in a matching outfit to Micah. where did he manage to get rayban wayfayers in baby size? Or a small blue button up shirt?? "Stan, what is that baby wearing?""It's called fashion, bev, ever heard of it?"Speaking of LEWKS, pat gets into knitting but takes it more as a creative expression kind of thing rather than dedication to precision. the three of them are always wearing these like lumpy, misshapen, wildly colorful knit hats, scarfs. Gloves. True squad goals.(Just imagine stan in his sensible black peacoat and dress shoes with a fucking... striped colored flower beanie ansjxjxjs)(Mike also wears pats creations with pride)(One time pat asked richie and eddie to babysit. they are, thus far, terrified of this baby. You would have thought that they conceived a mountain lion. They nervously agree. Stan thinks they're going to a nice dinner out, but Patty pulls a quarter mile down the road and then stops. They get fast food and watch it all go down on an iPad through a nannycam they installed in their living room. Stan has never loved his wife more.)"Hello baby. How is your day going?""*gurgle*""Fascinating. What would you like to do? We could play with this tube thing, or watch a movie? Have you seen UP?""Eds, its a baby, she doesn't know what youre saying." "How else are we to communicate?""We could try smoke signals.""Shut the f- what are you doing?" "Covering my hands in spaghettios.""...I don't even want to ask why but you're going to tell me regardless""Babies love doing this.""...???""so if i do it I'll be a part of the in crowd and I can gain her trust. it's like drinking beer at a high school party. keep up." "Micah, I'm aware you probably can't comprehend my communication attempts but I just want to let you know anyway that I apologize in advance for your uncle just.... in his entirety." "*gurgle*"

Why Buffy The Vampire Slayer Is Still The Ultimate ’00s Style Icon

Vampirecore has been a pillar of TikTok’s style subcultures for some time now, with over 6 billion views and counting dedicated to all things of the Victorian Gothic aesthetic. But while some of us are still channelling the mystique of the supernatural, our attention has pivoted to the keepers of our Earthly realm, namely, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The series, which is based on the 1992 film of the same name, followed reluctant hero Buffy Summers, a high school student in the little town of Sunnydale — a place that happens to be home to the gates of Hell — who comes from a long line of young women chosen by fate to fight evil forces from wreaking havoc on humans. And though the plot may seem like a rich tapestry of clichés, the outfits were anything but.

Airing between 1997-2003, the show captured the best of fashion during Y2k, seamlessly transitioning from timeless basics and flattering cuts of the ’90s to the hero-worthy party looks of the ’00s. Which is why we’re still mining the cast’s style for our own outfit inspiration, more than two decades after its air date.

Throughout its seven seasons (not including the spin-off, Angel), Buffy & Co take on ghouls, Gentlemen, syphilis and song-churning demons, all while dressing exactly how we would have hoped to one day dress at our high schools, had it not been for uniform mandates and trends we’d rather forget.

Some viewers may recall these outfits with an eyeroll, and that’s completely understandable. Are a crop top, leather pants and stiletto boots to stake some vamps a practical choice? Who’s to say, but does it make us want to wear exactly that? Absolutely.

The evolution of Buffy’s style is a steady transition from a naive teen grappling with her destiny in pastels, bedazzled denim and dainty tops, with hair just thrown together — to a more mature slayer; one that has come to terms with her mission in black leather coats, knee-high boots, mini skirts and slicked-back hair. Slinky going out tops were also aplenty.

But even beyond the titular character, who can look past the rest of the cast’s fits? I personally have a soft spot for the dopey best friend aesthetic of 2000s romcoms, which brings me to Xander’s signature look of a loose printed button-down shirt layered over a beat-up t-shirt, or a classic chunky sweater. Despite his fragile masculinity, we must admit his style still stands.

Then there’s Willow, played by Alyson Hannigan, who was an LGBTQ+ icon and inspired many of us to take our layered hair to new heights, that could never be styled right post-salon visit. Her style leaned towards a grungey bohemian, that felt both put together and extremely cosy.

Of course, we’d be fools to ignore Spike the tortured vampire’s style (who may I add invented the silver chain look). From the leather dusters and combat boots to the studded belts, singlets and silk shirts, it’s the kind of style we might avoid in a stranger, but definitely adopt ourselves.

And we’re definitely not the only ones clocking onto the wardrobe genius. Instagram pages like BuffyTheOutfitSlayer, BuffyTheStyleSlayer and EveryOutfitBuffySlayed dedicate themselves to documenting the sartorial moments of every character. All of which we can now look back on with renewed appreciation (except maybe this ‘Bomb’ beanie).

Scroll on for some of our favourite looks from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

So it’s really just facts that Buffy is the enduring ’00s TV show fashion icon, beating out The Simple Life and even The O.C. perhaps (sorry). Period. As for how functional it was for both school and monster-slaying? That’s a little more debatable.
