"Maitland Smith": Post-Modern Design Nightmares
Tumblr media
What sort of person owns a "jewelry box" like this? What sort of home could hold such an object? Make sense of it? give it context or meaning? It only really makes sense in a big empty house, where the objects can function like art in a gallery. Elevated by the clutter-free space around them.
"Maitland Smith": two little words that are the search key to a whole universe of forgotten design horrors and delights. "Memphis Design" gets more attention. "Maitland Smith" is the stuffy cousin.
Tumblr media
Don't worry they aren't real. But, does that make it that much better? You didn't inherit a real pair from your robber baron grandfather, but with these you could say. "If killing endangered species weren't as out of style as they are... you know I totally would."
Tumblr media
It's so whimsical... and yet classic.
Unapologetically post modern, an ascendent symbol of 1980s excess. These bits of furniture and bric-a-brac defined an era. Or maybe an error.
Tumblr media
These rooms feel like places I've been. Places where I don't belong.
Tumblr media
You've seen this kind of thing before haven't you?
Remember the house in the move Beetlejuice? The strange gaudy, clearly expensive, "whimsical," taste of that family? That's Maitland. It's those coffee tables that look like a huge stack of books. Because you are a refined intellectual but you have a sense of humor.
Tumblr media
Yes, this table is covered in little marble tiles. It's incredibly heavy, cold to the touch, impractical, a mockery of the antique writing desk it imitates. But, it's also fascinating. An object from another world.
I don't know why I have such an intense reaction to this stuff. I'm attracted to it but also very deeply repulsed. It has echos of the Victorian with all their fascination with the artificial and the imitation. But, it also screams MONEY in all the worst ways.
Tumblr media
Is it just me? What do you feel when you look at this stuff?

my current version of my wolfgang grimmer itabag…!
bag base: amazon (hey, i hate them too, but i’m relatively poor haha)
i added the pearl/teardrops to the heart border, and made a pearl keychain for the zipper. i also added a wine-based fabric to the lining, and threw in some resin flowers.
buttons: mostly edited screencaps and printed and pressed by me. i have two commissions here; the circle button is by ahegoey on etsy, and the two heart shaped commissions are by heyoitsroart on the same site. the second to bottom button was drawn by me.

Historical manhwa dresses
One thing I SEVERELY want to see more in historical manhwas is outfits that look like they belong in the period the story is set in 🤧
I’m not asking for full on “100% historical accuracy”. Just the general silhouette of the outfit being vaguely accurate-ish is good enough for me
Like, look at Judith from The Villainess Flips the Script as an example. Her outfit has fantasy elements/creative liberties, but it overall resembles/an 1880s-ish(?) silhouette. Like she’s wearing bustle. And honestly, silhouette of her dress with it is incredibly flattering on her 😮‍💨❤️

[Now, there are definitely a number of other series that do it too, but we (me) severely need MORE of these]
Honestly it’s not even the historical inaccuracies that bother me. What bother me are the tacky prom dresses we tend to get in (western setting) historical manhwa 😭
Like, I am so sorry. These women look gorgeous, but only when they don’t look out of place 😭 But most of the time we get FLs wearing criminal dresses looking stuff that makes them look funky and out of place

This all is not to say these outfits can’t look good (There are definitely a number of manhwas out there which make them work). But rather that most of the time these over the top, almost modern dresses don’t look that good lol (imo). And also I just want to slightly more historical based outfits, without the FL FLAMING them, as they do look quite pretty on them 🤕 (& I mention the FL part because that is for some reason an oddly popular trope, in particular in manhwas where MC isekai’d from modern times.)
