What is it about Black Butler that sticks with you so much? Like, I read all of death note about the same time as I watched Black Butler for the first time, and much as I have boundless love for the series it just didn’t alter my brain chemistry on the same level as Black Butler did. I have a another friend who has broadly moved on from a lot of her old fandoms but is still in the kuro fandom. What is it about kuro?

#black butler #kuroshitsuji #like i kind of get it for me #because its set in the victorian period and its horror and its gay #which ticks all my boxes #we all talk about something permanently altering our brain chemistry #but my ENTIRE TASTE in classical music was defined by iuro #*kuro #I have been making fanworks for this series 6 going on 7 years #90% of the reason i figured out i was bi and not a lesbian #it’s so much of the reason i got interested in historical costume #this shit was life altering #i guess it was some of the first explicitly gay media #i was ever exposed to? #is that it? #shits wild #original post

just watched lisa frankenstein. i'm a changed person.

#lisa frankenstein #buffygirlfail.text #GODDDDD #the editing. the music. the set. the makeup. the costuming. EVERYTHING #the ending made me cry like a baby #like i believe in true love !!

[sleepboysummer]

being a costume designer and set concept artist who is also a maximalist irl is fun and games until literally nothing is over the top enough.

#like u guys should see my heathers and carrie set design sketches #they are SO complicated #absolutely possible but #not preferable #im even worse when it comes to costumes like #my alice by heart costume plot is so much more insane than the off broadway and that was OFF BROADWAY #why i do this to myself. oh i know. i like pretty clothes and cool things on the walls #musical theatre #theatre #musicals #costume design #set design #maximalism

[slozhnos]

the great gatsby only got nominated for one tony and that’s just wrong

#LIKE NOT EVEN SET DESIGN??? #the costumes were fantastic but?? #WHERE IS EVA NOBLEZADAS TONY NOMINATION #WHERE IS NOAH RICKETTS #WHERE IS JEREMY JORDAN??? #AND THE CHOREOGRAPHY!!!!! #the great gatsby musical #tony nominations #musical theatre

fhjwksjsndbsjdjjs do NOT let the media fool you. the new moulin rouge flat out sucks.

#‘omg it’s a BOLD new take’ yeah it’s bold. #musicals are like marvel movies for me at this point and this was my dr strange multiverse. #okay edit now that im sober: the rest of the show was really stunning!! costumes choreo sets performance #it was all really amazing but the songs were fucking awful it was like glee-esque shit #which to be fair. i haven’t seen the original so i can assume it was pretty much the same just with different music. #but auighfhdhhhh when she started singing katy perry firework i literally almost jumped up and RAN

[loserbigsis]

Okay, so I just got finished with the Fallout TV show, honestly? As a super hardcore fan? No notes, they did their fucking job, It might actually be the most visually and tonally faithful TV adaptation I've ever seen in my life

#lamentations of chava #nerd shit #ALL OF THIS IS JUST MY OPINION! I LIKE TO ENJOY SHIT! DO NOT COME AT ME YOU JADED CYNICAL FUCKS #Like i'm sure some people will have problems with the direction they take the story in #especially with regards to canon after the games #but personally i liked it and am VERY excited to see season 2 considering *that* end shot #Also... they did a fucking phenomenal job of bringing the world of Fallout and it's retrofuturist aesthetic to life #The sets! the props! the costumes! THE MUSIC!!! #me and my gf were both singing along to pretty much all of them #It was a very gay time #It was honestly exactly what i wanted from a Fallout TV show #(Also... to be brutally honest.... I'm glad they swiped *that* element of the lore “off the board” so to speak #there really was nowhere for that particular thing to go but just more of the same over and over again. It had to go at some point) #I also really really liked how they made each of the 3 main characters player archetypes #That honestly worked really well #Also Matt Berry as the Mister Handy voice was fucking perfect casting *chef's kiss*

Time period

I love the flash, the sparkle, the drama of the musicals costuming, I do. However I have to gush for a second about just how dedicated the movie was into making the costuming and set scream 1899. I’ve only seen the movie version once (I plan to rewatch) but they did such a good job in those aspects it is burned into my brain and I just have to talk about it. Now , no it’s not 100% period accurate as some of the stage costumes are absolute camp and sparkled beyond reason but it’s  aesthetic and stage costumes of the time would be off the rails too so I can look past it.

Something I love particuarly is that all the men who visit the club are dressed for the occasion, it’s White tie! It’s a big deal! (White tie is the most formal, above even black tie events). Except Satie, he gets a pass, love the scarf. I don’t know what it is but seeing proper formal wear? Yes.

Two things here.

One- the way Satine applies her makeup, there’s a reasoning “painting one’s face” is a saying, lipstick had a brush, mascara was a brick with a little comb to apply etc. It’s that the makeup is accurate to the time and they put that effort into it? They could have easily just had he apply from the tube and most people wouldn’t be the wiser but they didn’t!

Two- CHRISTIANS SIDE BURNS???? HELLO?! This 👏 a lot of period productions hate sideburns and hate actual historical hairstyling’s (the amount of women with long, straight, unstyled hair is horrible) and almost forget men can do their hair differently from one another etc? No but I like it particuarly on Christian as he’s much more “clean cut” and “with” the fashion compared to his friends.

Three- alongside hairstyle is wearing a hat outside/when appropriate. A lot of pieces hate hats just as much as they hate proper hair and corsets

So it’s known Toulouse, Nini and La chocolat (male version in movie) were historical figures but the just… how sort of spot on John Leguizamo looks for Toulouse Latrec freaks me out? Lmao

#no it’s just all these little things #it’s like the bare minimum but with so many other period pieces not committing or willingly doing things wrong #it means so much? #moulin rouge #moulin rouge musical #moulin rouge! #moulin rouge 2001 #moulin rouge movie #period costuming #period piece #meta #movie details #set design #small details #historical hairstyles #victorian era

#diana's music diary #good evening #been kind of another day of relaxing... saving all my energy to play lancer rn cause my brain's a bit broken atm @@ #my friend's pokemon ttrpg started up again the other day which is rly neat and cool at least! #I'm excited to play it again... my character is a girl that loves witches. hence the song today :3 #she wears a silly halloween witch costume themed after volcarona and has a little larvesta named 'Reverie' #(the game is going to be set on a hiking trail and she'll be doing it all in that witch costume) #made her own grimoire and makes little charms with Reverie... her name is Soleil she's like the mysterious but rly weird autistic girl #also wanders around forests for magical artifacts and mythical pokemon (she never finds these things) #I should post the art of her here sometime maybe... #should probably stop rambling now though cause this isn't even a daily update it's me putting you in a room and forcibly ranting abt my ocs #and also cause I have lancer right now byeee

mr. sunshine is an absolutely spectacular and beautifully poetic show that burned so brightly to me—that i know for a fact i will never put myself through the pain of watching ever again.

#unless i do decide my like of pain and suffering overrides my emotional self-preservation #in which case—of course—i will eat all my words on this matter. #but like😭really #i feel like my heart has been clawed out and viciously mauled #in the most exquisite way #this won't be a drama that fades fast from memory #that's for sure. #and honestly #what a fascinating and heart-wrenching point in history #what an incredible cast of characters #the direction... the costume and set design #the sound and music #(the motifs of greensleeves & the use of red are two things that particularly stood out) #i'm just. #i'm in awe as much as i'm in mourning #mr. sunshine #mr sunshine #performative journaling #kdramas #korean dramas

yeah. I don't care what anyone says I still love 2005 p&p more than 1995 bbc p&p

#it's just way more visually interesting! it actually uses form to tell story! what a concept #I think it's visually much more rich. from the settings to the costumes #there's a lot to be said for how the settings and the houses actually speak to the class difference that p&p is all about #not to mention I'm obsessed with the mom and the way that she wears old dresses from HER generation rather than the kids #(WHICH WAS A COMMON PRACTICE!! and it shows her class by doing that!!! ) #you can be as faithful as you want to the original text but the joy of adapting to film should be the visual language you use to tell #the goddamn story and 2005 p&p does it much better I will die on this hill #I also love that lizzy is smart as hell ofc but also like. a little bit of a losergirl I'm tired of girlboss lizzie agenda #anyway 2005 p&p I love you never change colin firth go suck a toad #ALSO!!!! THE WAY MUSIC IS USED!!!! how motifs reappear constantly but also show character and skill. it's fucking magnificent #and it will make me sit down and watch the entire thing every single time youtube foists it upon me

I cant believe people are pretending the Barbie Movie was good.

#The Barbie Movie sucked #It was bad #like objectively #It was bad at having an interesting plot #It was bad at dioluge #It was bad at feminism #It was bad at aknowledging the patriarchy and capitalism #The only thing that was good was the set and costume design and the Ken musical #The writing sucked #The premise sucked #It's just basic white girl feminism completely lacking in any actual meaningful feminist theory #Like I can not get over how bad of a movie this was
