do I just start writing the whole thing? Do I write some oneshots to work up to it? Do I just keep drawing my redesigns? So many possibilities, so little motivation.

my head is busting with ideas for my rewrite BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

so I was watching darling dolls video on weird monsters high hate from back in the day, first off highly recommend watching it, very funny, very reminiscent of the time.

but there’s this one comment in the video that absolutely cracks me up “I can’t help but think of the homosexual culture in the background of all this” just because… well he’s not wrong. If you were obsessed with monster high as a kid you’re queer now! Hu I guess we were brainwashed, the more you know.

#Not all the gays are monster high girlies but all monster high girlies are the gays #liking plastic women is a gateway drug to liking real women #monster high #mh #fashion dolls #Not ever after high related but the same audience

inspired by boop day, reblog this post if its ok for people to send you random asks and interact on your posts with no judgement. i want to talk to people.

#I love when people say insane things in response to my posts #The responses to that one post i on made on people not understanding Raven and the evil queens relationship: fantastic #I honestly wish people made additions to the bullshit I post on he’s as well

my head is busting with ideas for my rewrite BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

#It’s like the opposite of writer’s block. I’ve got plenty of ideas but I am physically unable of writing them down #Once again I have too many ideas #And I have exams #That’s a thing as well #Though some would argue art and writing might be a better timewaster than animal crossing

I just realized yesterday that Ever After High missed a golden opportunity for a great running gag by having the child of The Boy Who Cried Wolf trying to out Cerise as a wolfgirl but nobody believes them cause of their story.

so… what was going on with those weird songs on Spotify a few months back… do we have any idea… or

#I don’t post about it at the time because I was too baffled to say anything #Has Mattel released a statement at all… #Does anybody have any idea what happened? #Very confusing #eah #ever after high #this is my 111th post #I just think that number looks funny

chapter 1: a summary

[demigirlravenqueen]

I swear this isn’t made up. I think people like him are just pretty common as private schools headmasters since quite a few of my family members have somewhat similar experiences.

Let me introduce you to this man. He was an older, tall, English man with grey hair, who wore a three piece suit every day and considered some of them “too shabby for weakly assembly” because of the colour.

One very hot issue in my school was that girls weren’t allowed to wear trousers with our uniform. I brought it up in a school counsel meeting ONCE and he spent the rest of the meeting going on an extremely long speech about why girls went aloud wear trousers, which included such iconic lines as “the point of a uniform is that you all look the same” “women don’t wear ties” and my personal favourite “the French have a saying that translates to Long Live Difference” (the irony is so delicious). Yeah, that really pissed of all the people in the meeting and two years later girls were aloud to wear trousers. Yay.

I think that gives you a pretty good idea of this guy. One day I pointed out the similarities between him and headmaster grim to my friend and I said. “The only difference is that as far as we know he doesn’t have a secret twin brother who he keeps hidden under the school”

So naturally we started an in joke that he had a secret twin brother who he kept in a secret room under the school, and his name was Dave, and if you ever saw our headmaster without a tie on that wasn’t our headmaster… that was Dave.

This then spiralled into a joke that he was a three hundred year old vampire (because we’d never seen him eat garlic bread even though they served it all the time in the cafeteria and he certainly had the attitudes of an 18th century man) and now I’m writing a book loosely based on that premise.

I just realised that I’ve never told you guys about my former headmaster who literally looked spoke and acted exactly like Headmaster Grim! How have I never talked about that on here?

#I think I’ve alluded to him before #Like there’s probably some memes on here that came from jokes about him between me and my friends #Still shocking that I’ve never talked about it before #eah #ever after high #Headmaster Grim #milton grim

God, I want to do my rewrite I’ve been planning soooooo bad but I’ve just got way too many projects to do and classes to pass.

Like I’m already writing a whole book in my free time. And coursework for creative subjects (which all of my courses are) just take up way too much time and I’m already not doing enough. And will absolutely be one more thing on that pile. But it’s just so tempting.

So my current plan it to just do “bits and pieces” in my “free time” “for now”. Which I’m sure will go very well and has no potential flaws at all.

#It’s probably mostly going to be more redesigns like the ones I’ve done and some profiles #Apple redesign coming soon #eah #ever after high

Historically ever after part 5

Darling Charming 2 New And Improved!

I wanted to do an updated version of this post because, it was really just my second attempt at doing something like this so it's not really the best and I've learned quite a bit more about 18th century fashion since then and I'm not really satisfied with that post anymore. Darling was the fist character that I decided to make these posts on because everybody kind of knows that her design was 18th century inspired. I think that it's just one of the recognisable historical styles .

Starting with the dress, it has an open front showing another layer underneath like most styles of dresses from the Georgian period which usually had a petticoat underneath as well as a matching stomacher if one was worn. The robe robe a la francaise is, I think the most iconic for this look. The robe a la francaise also featured large box pleats at the back and were commonly worn over side hoops which gave the iconic wide hip look.

I think that darlings dress more closely resembles an English gown or robe a l’anglaise which is more fitted and less often worn with side hops therefore usually having a more round skirt shape.

Either way it doesn't really matter as I doubt that the people designing these outfits really had this in mind. But I'll leave this article by the American Duchess which dose a good job explaining the different styles of 18th century gowns if you're interested.

We also have those lovely elbow length frilled sleeves which were common on fashionable gowns.

The print on her dress really resembles some of the floral patterns common during this period, such as these ones I found in the Met's online collections.

the underlayer's pattern is more subtle and and resembles these silk woven fabrics.

Her hair is swept back and curled in a way that's meant to reference the large fancy hair styles iconic to the period, mostly around the mid 18th century. Feathers, ribbons and jewellery were all pretty common hair pieces.

Her hair is also verry light which is again a reference to white powdered hair.

While were talking about hair I'd also like to mention that we plenty of primary sources indicating the use of blue and pink hair powder during this time. I don't know a lot about that (or just historical hair in general I'm trying my best), but Abbey Cox did a great video the history of coloured hair, and after watching that I was able to find portraits showing it. It's such a niche fun fact that I don't think that it was intentional and they probably just chose blue to go with the colour scheme they already had but it's still cool.

Her jewellery was interesting to look into, full disclosure I don't know much about jewellery outside of the Victorian era and even then my knowledge is pretty limited so I was mainly digging through the V&A archives and comparing them.

Her necklaces are I think the most similar. You got the jewels arranged in a circle around another jewel and the elaborate patterns.

1 2

I think her bracelet is more armour inspired I'm not really able to get a good enough look at it to notice much detail.

dangly earrings sort of like hers I've seen a lot of but rather different.

With her flower shaped ring I was either expecting to either find nothing or something similar but smaller which they made more bulky for doll production. I didn't find a similar ring, most were verry simple in shape, but I did find this broch and gasped verry loudly when I did because it was so similar.

I might do another one on her dragon games outfit, but I don't really think there's anything there, and this post is getting long, nothing compared with what I have in the works for Lizzie but... I have homework to do and this has already taken up enough of my time.

As always, feel free to add on or correct me.
