infodump about the architecture of Crown Castle — first of all, HOLY SHIT. so far all the backgrounds in ikevil have been absolutely stunning but this one of Crown Castle just took my breath away. gothic and gothic revival sre some of my fave architecture styles so I was super excited to see the gothic revival elements in this particular bg. I like that the shape and structure make it immediately recognisable as neo-gothic tbh

the facade is right in front of two towers, both of which require immense structural support. they wouldnt be able to be directly behind the facade in a traditional gothic building because it would crumble in on itself from the weight. rather, towers in trad gothic architecture were built on the sides of the facade because they were the structural support (think of the design of mondstadt cathedral in genshin). trad gothic also had a lot of internal space due to thick walls and vaulted ribbed ceilings, both of which would create a long, rectangular space, which is much different from the compressed boxy structure in the bg

because gothic architecture also relied on timber frameworks, which did not have the capability of holding up all of that weight, majority of the structural weight would be supported by pillars and buttresses on the outside of the building. these buttresses were key features in trad gothic churches and castles, because they would distribute the weight so that the pressure did not crack the pillars. this building has 1) no space for pillars and 2) no need for external support pillars. neo gothic buildings were built on frames of iron, and later steel, which provided much more internal support and allowed for the buildings to stand on their own without support pillars on the outside. aside from those all the elements of a gothic structure are there: gable roofs, lancet windows, hood mounts, the rose window, and ribs on the tower's spires

also it's neo gothic cause there's no saints up in the niches

A small idea I'm working on for Harrison and Liam.

When Liam mentioned that Harrison is his partner, I couldn't help but imagine them going hand in hand as two cute, tiny menaces to society.

As for Victor, he's the best supportive mother you'll ever see.

He'll be like : "Here you go, sweetheart (handing them a knife and a gun), now go do crime... Oh, and make sure to come back before dinner time"

#AHHHHHHHHH #i just love the idea of a found family full of criminals #they're all so silly i love them #ikevil #harrison gray #liam evans #victor

The majority of people are horny. People are always going to be horny. You cannot stop people from being horny. Throughout history there have been extensive attempts to suppress horniness and they haven’t worked. You can be mad about it all you want but horniness will prevail against any adversity. There will always be an aspect of horniness within society. Sexuality cannot be contained by having missionary sex with your spouse alone in the privacy of a dark bedroom.

i'm so dumb, they literally mention Harrison wanting to get Arthur Conan Doyle's latest novel in William's route.

and i heard he's also mentioned and makes a cameo in Harry's route. it can't be any other than the sherlock series and those were published in 1887-1893 so the story likely takes place during that span of time.

does anyone know what specific decade of 19th century England the timeline of ikevil takes place in?

“why are you so tired all the time” God is killing me! thanks for asking

There's people for whom "we're leaving in the morning" means "we ride at dawn motherfuckers, you can finish waking up and getting dressed in the car, we'll grab breakfast somewhere along the way", and there's people for whom it means "we'll get going somewhere before noon".

And then they get married.

parabatai parallels 🥺

—Simon Lewis, City of Glass

—Will Herondale, Clockwork Princess

—Julian Blackthorn, Lady Midnight

—James Herondale, Chain of Thorns

@ofstarsandmoonlightt ’s post on this parallel reminded me of Julian's lines to Emma and I simply had to put them all together 🥺

#something something how terrible it is to love someone and the possibility of anything hurting the one you love #i am only now reading the clockwork princess after a decade of owning the first 2 books in the series #and rereading them incessantly over the years #tid #the infernal devices

j word coded

TO BE CLEAR: I am NOT claiming that this other game (Ikemen Villains) is a "rip-off" of TWST; I'm pointing out parallels between them because I think it's entertaining to see how different games interpret the same or similar fairy tales.

Please also note that although nothing I say in this post is explicit, IkeVil itself is designated as 17+ and contains dark content. If you decide you want to try the game out for yourself, BE AWARE OF THE AGE RATING AND TRIGGER WARNINGS.

ARE THESE NOT JUST J WORD IN A BLACK WIG AND CONTACTS (the last one looks like a blend of Jade's sus face + Idia's sus face) 😭 His face looks so similar… and they're both "attendant" characters that act polite but are more manipulative than they appear at first glance... (although Alfons has Floyd's hedonism rather that Jade's restraint!)

More of my first impressions of the characters of IkeVil below the cut!! Again, there's nothing explicit, I just wanted to keep this post not too bulky.

And not just him (Alfons) either, ashldbiasydefpaei there's a Trey-lookalike and a Silver pre-hair color change in the same game! Roger has a rifle and is cursed by Snow White's huntsman, so I joke that he's Rook and Trey's test tube baby... and Elbert has Vil's keen eye and desire for what is beautiful!

There are also characters that don't look like an TWST ones, but definitely have personalities that remind me of a few! For example, Liam's laid-back affability is Che'nya and Chenya Cater-esque, Jude speaks in a gruff but aristocratic manner like Leona but is a tough businessman like Azul, and Ellis seems like a mix of Malleus's obsession with happy endings + Idia's gloomy demeanor…? No clue if he actually is gloomy or not, he just gives me gloomy vibes.

Victor is Crowley-adjacent! Like they're both overseeing this group of powerful men with magic so you'd think they're serious types--but they aren't. They're silly and use their own skills to do frivolous things like doing magic tricks or making cake fancier. They also both seem to be hiding a secret...

Harrison doesn't remind me of anyone in particular, though I do see little bits of our typical "lying" characters in him. He has the chill of a Che'nya but also Floyd's flippancy and lies as easily as like... I don't know, Cater?? Not sure on this one.

abfhbyoafvadpiadgo OKAY OKAY BUT THE FUNNIEST ONE TO ME IS WILLIAM BECAUSE HE'S "THE QUEEN OF HEARTS" CHARACTER... Most of the time when you have a character with this inspiration, they're controlling and easily angered (*stares at Riddle*), but William is NOTHING like that???? In fact, he's got a strong sense of justice and often encourages others to be honest and to act freely, even if it means disregarding the rules. Every time William opens his mouth... I picture Riddle shrieking and sobbing/j
