I can't help but notice the only place we see children in Hell is in cannibal town.

#ethereal spams #not obey me related #I feel like the implications of this is lowkey horrific...like I don't know a ton about history but considering this town seems heavily #inspired by the 1920's and 1930's #like set during the great depression #...yikes #hazbin hotel

a photograph of a young quadruple amputee man sitting on a mat or small rug with an inscription on the back reading only "1059-A", perhaps an indexing number of the photographer. it's undated, but possibly from the 20's or 30's.

the only thing that's keeping me from unleashing all 90 nonsensical thought trains in my brain about re1999 lore is the fact that im ruled by this very strict mindset of "if youre gonna do something, do it properly/thoroughly/organized or don't do it at all" which means i get to filter all this nonsense for my writing blog so its neat and cohesive

but it also means that until those posts are finished, im just gonna be seething and violently vibrating bc the information is just in my brain waiting to be released into the wild

#SCREAMS anyway the thoughts are the following #the fact that vertin's spinning wheel which she uses to summon arcanists trascends time and space #because if we're going by times of exhibition. pavia shouldve been the first one to be saved (1990's) but canonically it was regulus #which explains why pavia talks about his mother as if she were alive. because vertin PULLS people regardless of time space continuum #that (and a whole different argument) explains that exhibition dates arent dates of births. theyre the year/era they were taken from #because both matilda and pavia are listed as exhibited in the 1990's #theres 11 years of difference between them. if exhibition date = DOB then it would be impossible #aside from the fact that pavia wouldve had to live up to 2015 AT A MINIMUM to be 25 IF he was born in exactly 1990 #but theres characters who have more than one exhibition dates. such as satsuki or regulus (only in global iirc?) #so perhaps its the time they were acknowledged as arcanists by whatever government was established at the time? #regulus makes sense since “mid 20th century” encompasses 1930-1960. which correlate to the prologue. 1st and 2nd chapters of the main story #satsukis is harder to explain. since the times listed are just 1910s and 1920s. but it perhaps relates to her story? since she is trying #very hard to leave her past life as a thief behind #people also complain about sweetheart being 17 because 'she doesnt look 17' and since shes based on marilyn monroe she 'must be older' #sweetheart was exhibited in the 1930's. marilyn monroe was born in 1926. more proof that sweetheart was 17 at the time she was summoned #AND that exhibition dates ARENT DOB

Hello hope you're having a nice time! uwu

What do you think of the cdrama "Miss S" set in Republican Era.

Hi! In terms of the costuming, short answer is I think it's not good. It's an adaptation of the Australian series Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, which I love, and its costuming cannot hold a candle to the original. The time setting is kind of vague----most say 1930s, but Miss Fisher is set in the late 20s and there are places where the costumer is probably trying to go for a ✨1920s flapper✨ vibe but couldn’t do it. This is definitely one of those Republican era dramas that try to recreate the vibe of "old Shanghai" or whatever using modern clothing and don't bother to be even remotely historical. Any attempt at identifying historical precedents for their costumes is reading too much into it, because it's technically Republican era guzhuang. I'm sorry if this sounds really harsh but that's the thing for this entire genre of drama costuming, and I've already covered some examples previously (see Rookie Agent Rouge, Couple of Mirrors, Fall in Love). I think I'll make a new category in my masterpost for this particular kind of stock Republican era costuming.

Miss S 旗袍美探 (2020)

We're just gonna look at some individual outfits.

The cheongsam worn by the lady to the far right is kind of legit for the late 20s, but then the protagonist in the middle is wearing a tacky modern cheongsam that just coincidentally looks a bit late 30s. Definitely not intentional though. The "Western" outfit on the lady to the left doesn't resemble anything in Western women's fashion from any decade of the 20th century, and is likely a generic Taobao "vintage" outfit.

They have a weird obsession with capes which I don't understand. The fit, collar and fabric of the cheongsam are all unusual (in a bad way). The "Western" outfit is again not legit.

Weird cape obsession, weird fabric and fit.

For reference, there was a 1928 film about a lady detective starring Hu Die (女侦探). This is what their costumes look like:

Uhh, so elegant, so classy, so avant garde. I'm swooning.

By the way, I know Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is a great show and generally has very good costuming, but they have some instances of characters wearing Chinese fashion and they’re all handled poorly. There is this one episode featuring a female Chinese character and her outfit is just... pure cringe. I know English language info on Chinese historical fashion is rare but, there are quite lot of films and artworks from the late 20s that should give the costumer an idea of how a Chinese girl from that era would've dressed, definitely not the cheap modern cheongsam they put her in. They even had Miss Fisher comment on how that cheap ass dress "must have been her wedding dress" or something. If you wear that to a Chinese wedding in 1929 be prepared to get roasted. I've been wanting to rant about this since I watched the show and finally have the vessel (this hellsite) to do it.

From @phrynefishersfrocks

I couldn’t find that particular episode so here is a complimentary photo of Miss Fisher also in a (highly inaccurate) cheongsam. This is a million miles away from a late 20s cheongsam, and would be more appropriate for a late 40s evening occasion. However, I can assure you this is not because the costumer wanted to put Miss Fisher in a late 40s cheongsam, but simply because they researched late 20s Chinese fashion very poorly (or didn’t bother to research at all, because how dare Chinese people have fashion and not just a single dress that didn’t change for decades).

Miss Fisher could I interest you in a dress like this:
