*at the victorian themed horror house*
Me, talking to one of the actors: Actually this is an Edwardian era house, not a victorian one; is a common mistake. The Edwardian comes after the victorian one, and the architecture is lest ornate compared to it. During those times electrical lights started to get popular compared to gas lights, and they also used different colours to paint the houses and furtinure.

McLean Institute, Christchurch, New Zealand (1900s)
Built in a Jacobean style between 1899 and 1900 from Aotearoa (New Zealand) native timber Kauri, McLean Institute, originally known as 'Holly Lea' (later McLean's Mansion) is one of the biggest wooden residentail buildings in the world, and was the biggest residential building in New Zealand at the time of it's construction. Commissioned by Allan McLean, a scottish philanthropist, the building is now a category one historical building, despite sustaining a fair bit of damage in the Christchurch Earthquakes, she still stands to this day but is looking for a new owner who will hopefully restore her to her former glory.
This personally is my favourite building I've encountered and I hold dear in my heart, I really hope for her to be claimed by someone soon before the perils of time ruin her beyond repair. It's been 13 years now since the most devistating of the series of earthquakes we had in Otautahi (Christchurch), where she has since stood boarded up behind a big metal fence over the past decade and a bit.

This is absolutely amazing! The past was so colourful! This is a must watch if you're into period style stuff. Thanks to guys like these who captured the past and immortalized it in colour, not only for us to see, but for us to resonate and experience humanity with them. Who knew the past (objects, houses and fashion) were actually so colourful! Take me back!

I want to be the opposite of those people who buy a Vic-wardian house and then completely gut it in order to turn it into a Trendy-Minimalist-White-Art-Gallery-Hellscape.
I'm going to buy a contemporary house and then completely gut it in order to turn it into a beautiful, closed concept, Vic-wardian Cottage.
And no one can stop me.

Heyo just wondering if there are any physical descriptions of the rulers for marriage of state au? (there could have been some I have read before just can't remember) I know it is based off empires so the skins are prob somewhat relevant but the skins can be interpreted in many different ways. So I guess my actual question is, what does everyone wear??? Are chemises and stays common in some places? Do some empires wear a bunch of layers like the Edwardian and Victorian styles or are they like some specific cultural dress of somewhere? are some empires wearing an un-holy mash of a bunch of different styles? Hoop skirts and crinolines? (how do u spell that stupid word??? ;-;) I know you went into what empires wear is made out of but what garments are said textiles made into?
So I've made a few character design focused posts so far. Specifically, Joel and the Seablings so far. I'm in the process of writing Xornoth's. (I randomly generated the order for them because I am indecisive XD) They have their own section on the masterpost as it currently exists and will be one of the things I keep directly linked on the revised version when I get around to that.
On a general note, "what everyone wears" varies fairly wildly from empire to empire. My costuming decisions draw about equally from the skins and the architecture styles (e.g. greco-roman influences in the ocean empire combining with fantasy coture, Rivendell combines visual elements from the lotr movies with a viking-era Scandinavian influence, Byzantine layers and accessories in Mezalea, etc...)
chemises and stays are one of the varieties of undergarments that can be found, but very much older versions. Most of my influences are high/fallen fantasy and ancient civilizations through about mid-medieval Europe. So no hoop skirts or crinolines.
I'll save more of the specifics because if I type it all up here I'll be even slower about making the actual official character-specific posts
Edit:
There is also Official Art. So far just the Seablings. It鈥檚 linked on their posts

Whenever I've contemplated the recent Canadian MAID policies, my mind has inevitably wandered to Robert W. Chambers' justly revered weird tale "The Repairer of Reputations" and the Government Lethal Chambers that are such a key thematic element therein. I am not going to imply that the Canadian health services have fallen under the sway of the Yellow Sign (although...), but I've always noticed in reading and listening to other moderns' response to the story that there's important period context that gets largely missed. This is understandable - most people haven't read nearly as many fin-de-si猫cle and Edwardian era 'Scientific Romances' as I have, for the good reason that most of them are really quite bad.
But without historical context, it's easy to miss exactly what the alternate future New York City that the story may or may not be set in represents. It's a whole collection of relatively common Progressive era tropes representing peoples' hopes and fears about the immediate future, arranged in an optimistic (even Utopian) key. The obsession with civic beautification, the gleaming fleets of battleships that are almost an extension of the "good architecture [that] was [everywhere] replacing bad," the optimistic hope that race problems could be settled for all times and peaceably without any then-unseemly 'mixing' (Indian scouts! an "independent negro state of Suanee"! checking of immigration!), a militarism that's as much about pomp & love of regimentation as about actual wars, the "colossal Congress of Religions" that "laid [bigotry and intolerance] in their graves" and "began to draw warring sects together", a love of orderly centralization... This is all the sort of stuff that moderate, bien-pensant Progressives and Fabians of Chambers' day would have cheered on. Even the "war with Germany," involving an unlikely occupation of the Virginia coast, is an optimistic take on the Invasion Story subgenre that was becoming common at the time (the scars it left "had been forgotten in the joy over repeated naval victories, and the subsequent ridiculous plight of General Von Gartenlaube's forces in the State of New Jersey.") It's all of a piece, an expression of boundless Columbian Exposition optimism and faith in Reason and Progress to bring forth an Earthly Paradise.
And so are the Lethal Chambers. They are reasonable, and graceful, and beautiful, solutions to the problem of hopelessness. Reasonably, why should a person not have a right "to end an existence which may have become intolerable to him, through physical suffering or mental despair"? Too, "the community will be benefited by the removal of such people from their midst." And the Chamber is beautiful, placed in a verdant park, decorated with Grecian columns and marble statues, designed to make one's exit from this world as rationally elegant as possible. It's all done discreetly, in the best possible taste.
This is why the story is given this whole setup, why it begins with what seems today to be a very disorienting bit of archeofuturistic world-building. In the context of this world of rational hopes rationally filled, not only is Castaigne's descent into madness more shockingly out of place, but it also represents an irruption into that world of something else, something old and strange and powerful. There is a reason that Wilde & Castaigne invoke the trappings of the archaic medievalism that the Progressive world sought to do away with forever, and a reason why Wilde deals (or claims to deal) in blackmail and conspiracy. All the flotsam and jetsam that, it was hoped, could be swept away like the old slums, bob inevitably to the surface.
As something of a reactionary, I'm inclined to take a political reading of this - "don't immanentize the eschaton!" as the slogan goes. But, like all really good fiction, "The Repairer of Reputations" is about something deeper than politics. I leave further interpretation as an exercise to the reader.
