Happy Tumblr Prom 2021!!! I had a fun time doing a fancy photoshoot for @internet-prom-2021 today; it was a good chance to dig out my old formalwear, including my actual junior prom dress, the suit I assembled for my Oswald Cobblepot Halloween costume in 2018, and my fairy wings from a different Halloween, because this is Tumblr prom, and this time I’m wearing fairy wings. Oh, and what would a formal photoshoot be without a sword? :)
This photoshoot goes out to my prom date @ravenfal and to my friends and tumblr prom posse @saturnrx @katastrophekid @shy-ginger-in-the-graveyard and @emovampy :)
Bonus pics & things under the cut :)
Fancy jump shot + cool shadow :) I love how my skirt looks like flower petals here, even if my head got cut off in the mirror, lol.
Also fun fact, the tie knot I used is called “the eldredge knot” (not to be confused with “eldritch” haha), and it’s also one of the knots Noam uses in The Guards Themselves--in Back in the Ring specifically--which may have had some influence on my choice of tie knot, haha. The video I used to tie it is here if you want to try. Here it is up close!
And while we’re doing closeups, here’s a closer look at my makeup (for my second photoshoot in my dress, which actually shows up first in this post; I did just the eyeliner, mascara, and a lighter lipstick for my pictures in the suit):
I tried to do a rainbow ombre thing with my eyeshadow but I maaay have taken up a bit too much space with the purple part, which I suppose is very on brand for me. It’s been forever since I put makeup on, but it is kinda fun to play around with :)
And here’s a closeup where you can see my hair a bit better, too :) I did a whole braid thing but it didn’t show up a ton in most of the pictures.
Oh, and here’s an artsy thing I did where I put my travelling selfie photoshoot mirror on the ground and took a selfie looking up at myself, for artistic reasons.
Happy tumblr prom everybody!! :)
Hey, so, is it just me, or does that actually look like Selena disguising herself as Ecco/Harley? Her hair looks curly and like it’s shaped more like Selena’s than Ecco’s is in the other scenes in the new trailer. And I’m not actually the best with faces, but I’m pretty sure the nose looks more like Selena’s than Ecco’s--the latter’s nose is sharper and narrower.
Theory: Camren said at NY Comic Con that Selena would be coming after Jeremiah for shooting and paralyzing her. Perhaps she disguises herself as Ecco in order to get close to him? It would be easy if Ecco takes to wearing that mask; in that case, Selena’s getting discovered and her plan is going very much awry in this scene.
Alternate theory: as Jeremiah slips further into madness, he gets paranoid. He know Selena’s coming after him, and so he starts seeing her face everywhere--even in place of Ecco’s. This could also be why he’s strangling Ecco in that other scene in the trailer.
It’s possible I’m wrong, but that looks like Selena to me.
Currently watching this very cliche (but still decently enjoyable) Christmas movie and it has this horse girl subplot where the older sister is falling in love with horses, but there are these long, lingering shots where she's looking at this female farmhand working with the horses, and she keeps talking about how great and cool that farmhand is, and I can't decide whether it's actually a burgeoning lesbian subplot or just a heavy accidental implication, but it really does feel soooo close to overtly romantic.
Anyways my hot new ship is these two. Time to build it from the ground up ;)
Ooo I love this idea!
Although I could also see Ghoul really enjoying a kick wheel too, because there's just something so delightfully tactile about giving big leg-flopping kicks against a large metal disk to make your pottery spin... I always found it more satisfying than the electric wheels so maybe I'm just projecting, but I feel like Ghoul would also vibe with the sensation of using kick wheels.
Ooh, and also, if they couldn't make it out to the kiln sometimes, they could always try a pit firing! It would be a good excuse for a nice big bonfire with the crew, and then the pottery would have a cool, smokey look to it, even unglazed (I think?)--like this:

Of course, the bonfire might risk drawing the attention of Dracs, but then again we know they do canonically have fires at night sometimes... Ooh I just decided my new headcanon for the campfire scene in Na Na Na is now that they were doing a pit firing! (Or you could always just pit fire during the day when it would be less obvious, but I’m just enjoying the thought of this.)
Anyways. Fun Ghoul does pottery. There’s a wheel in the diner, and they got it to operate off battery power, and they drag Kobra out on clay-finding missions, since he’s got such a skill for finding water. They make all their own tools for it, and stuff is mostly unglazed. There’s a working kiln at a studio in Zone Two, and every other month they load up the Am with one of the others and drive out to it.
They’ll make functional pieces whenever someone breaks a few too many plates by mistake, or clay shells for certain kinds of bombs, but mostly they make abstract, rarely-useful pieces, all warped and twisting, halfway between sculpture and dream. Sometimes they handbuild pieces on after throwing it on the wheel.
Goshdangit Robin. It’s like he saw my previous post and did this just to spite me.
I know, I know. He said he was going to... but, well, I was hopeful.
So. Guess I was wrong... Well, I mean, if there was going to be a Penguin spinoff, I suppose it wouldn’t take that long to grow it back out.
he actually did it the absolute madman
Do you ever consider alternate names for ships? Like Spuffy could’ve been Billiam, or... or Bike.

That awkward moment when Batman is an interruption in the legal procedures of crime solving...
TBH from what I’ve seen on Gotham I get the sense that the GCPD doesn’t actually care all that much about the chain of evidence and whatnot, but maybe Gordon’s working on turning things around.

fandom is so weird you never know how old anyone is but you just kinda assume most of them are around your age until proven otherwise and then one day someone is talking about their 9 year old kid on your dash and another person is saying they just finished 10th grade. wild.
So I have a tradition that on the eve of opening night for any show I’m in, I reblog something related to the show. In this case, we aren’t actually opening tomorrow (because, well, you know. Pandemic and all.) but we would’ve, so... here, have a Crucible meme to celebrate our scheduled opening night eve, in hopes that we will have a real opening night... some time in the future.
Anyways, back when we were still doing rehearsals, I showed this to my friend who plays Mary Warren and we had a long hard laugh over it :)
I have another new obsession
Look, Chester, buddy, I get that (some) Ravenclaws tend towards perfectionism, but... what more do you want from me, dude? We’re 79 points ahead...
Welcome, dear traveller, to our fantastical lande shrouded in swirling violet mists. Here we study how stories shape our lives, how words weave wonders before our eyes. Here we are enamoured of love and the connections betwixt people. Here we seek daring adventures in our wild lande, delving into the unknown at every turn. But mostly, here you'll find my obsession with any number of things, like Doctor Who, the Vampire Diaries, or any number of others from the ever-shifting tide of obsessions through which I cycle. My more-used sideblog is blagueofchaos if you ever wish I posted more :) She/her, 28
