Bodice Ornament & Hair Comb

René Lalique

1903-1904

The Art Nouveau style caused a dramatic shift in jewellery design, reaching a peak around 1900 when it triumphed at the Paris International Exhibition.

Its followers created sinuous, organic pieces whose undercurrents of eroticism and death were a world away from the floral motifs of earlier generations. Art Nouveau jewellers like René Lalique also distanced themselves from conventional precious stones and put greater emphasis on the subtle effects of materials such as glass, horn and enamel.

René Lalique, 'the admitted king of Paris fashions', chose his materials for aesthetic effect and artistic refinement, not for mere preciousness or brilliance. Credited with introducing horn into the jewellery repertoire, he dazzled the public with a collection of ornamental combs made of horn. They were moulded and sculpted in the shape of flowers, waves and butterflies.

I've been thinking about this for so long but I'm curious about your POV If you know ERB (Epic Rap Battles of History), do you have any ideas on how the NP's would react to their videos. Would they be confused? Think it's hilarious? Would they file a complaint? Do they think it's cool? Thank you in advance!

OH MY GOD HOLY FUCK! ERB would be a thing in the Hetalia nationverse 😭

I think that most of them actually look forward to them. It's like getting your own Weird Al parody. Some of the older nations don't really get it. Some find it all very amusing. Some are very annoyed with their rap battle selves. Like "I don't really sound like that, do I?"

I think America would be the one to find it the funniest. Oh my God I don't even know who they would pin him against. England? Russia? POTUS? All I know is that he would totally wipe the floor with England.

Also I know that this is a bit off topic, but I can't stop thinking about England on Horrible Histories. Would they have him play himself, or use a cast member? Those would be amazing.

Ares: Huh? Oh! Hey! Hi. 

Dan: Why are you so flustered? 

Ares: I didn’t realize it was you for a second. How can I help you? 

Dan: Not the customer service voice…

Ares: Sorry! It just comes out sometimes.

Dan: [ laughs ] I made you something. A cassette. Before you call me old or whatever, I feel like there’s a certain charm to it. Here you go. Maybe you can find something new to listen to. 

Ares: Holy shit, vintage. I love it. Thank you. 

Dan: Mhm. Hey so, you seem cool. I’m having a house-warming party, wanna go? 

Ares: Sure! Send me the address and date?

Dan: Already wrote my number on the cassette. Invite whoever you want. 

Ares: What were you gonna do if I said no?

Dan: You weren’t.
