I'm going crazy trying to figure out what aesthetic the scholomance series is, because it is very much NOT the dark academia that pops up at the top when I search "a deadly education aesthetic" it is very much concrete walls and very prison like (not me projecting my own boarding school experience ) but also punk. I just never knew there was so many sub divisions for the punk aesthetic and now looking up all the different reference photos to figure it out.
at the moment dieselpunk is the closest thing I can find that matches with what I picture in my mind but it's only cityscapes so not all of it
edit : I've just looked up prison aesthetic and I'm pretty sure I've found it(as well as experienced flashbacks from my own High school dorm) and so the scholomance is prison aesthetic with a little bit of steam/diesel punk sprinkled in for the whole "revolving floors"
edit 2: I can't seem to reply to your comment so I'm gonna post it here
I've read the trilogy multiple times and I have considered if the scholomance had academia vibes from being built in the Edwardian era but after looking at the art for El and Chloe's rooms and the diagram for the scholomance and London enclave I feel like it would be wasteful to use the mana for making the scholomance look grand when the structure of it being 99% in the void itself is what sold the idea to the other European enclaves. and that would really make gym a "in your face" from the Japanese enclave wouldn't it ?
but I do see your point of it not getting the maintenance it requires and I do wonder if the original plan was after a few years of young wizards growing up in a safe environment use that manpower to built onto the existing structure of the scholomance.
also thank you for your comment I usually just ramble on here because I don't have people around me to take about this kind of stuff

Punk Poll 2: The Re-Punkening
Once again, this isn't about which subgenre you think is the "correct" or "Most moral" one or even which one you'd like to live in the most, it's about which subgenre you find the most aesthetically pleasing/narratively interesting.

Sally goes AWOL to extract revenge on an Axis leader and will remove anyone who stands in her way, but when news of an assassin ripples through the Axis grapevine, a special squad is assembled to remove the problematic Allied assassin in, "Operation: Mother Midnight"
Other Timelines, Other Lifetimes Series…
[Other Timelines, Other Lifetimes Series - ‘Spacetime Sally: Allied Forces’ is a WWII dieselpunk inspired take on ‘Spacetime Sally’ in which Captain Sally Hannigan is an unstoppable nazi-stomping force to be reckoned with.
With Hitler’s regime lurching closer to space dominance, Sally joins the Allied Forces looking to crumble the Axis Powers. From the darkest corner of the tiniest European village, to the edge of space, no nazi is safe from Sally. More Timelines/Lifetimes here.]

Hello Tumblr! We are The Steampunk Compendium, a collaborative work to archive and inform on all things steampunk!
Currently housing only two members, The Steampunk Compendium aims to hopefully spread the steampunk subculture and genre to more of those it would appeal to, while also talking about the media we love! We are also working on a website, so keep an eye out for updates on that!
Submissions are open, so if you'd like us to get to talking about or archiving works of a particular type sooner rather than later, feel free to let us know by sending an ask our way!
Eventually, there will be a masterpost of all the tags and medias posted about, but until then, you may have to sort through our tags to find things! We are terribly sorry in advance!
Until next time!
--- Mods Cogs and Coil
