The first ensemble of "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is a sumptuous embossed white coat, white blouse and pants, grey scarf and matching white cloche.

A subtle yet fabulous example of Phryne's outerwear, this coat is made of white silk embossed with cascading circular art deco patterns layered over one another. It also is trimmed with marabou down feathers along the collar and hem, adding to the luxurious feel.

Underneath her coat, Miss Fisher wears a white sleeveless blouse, possibly made of crepe, has a sloping neckline and a matching tie knotted loosely at her collarbone, previously seen twice in 2x07. She pairs them with her classic wide-leg silk faille pants and practical grey suede heels.

Her white felt cloche has an icy grey silk velvet trim, curling from around the back up to two separate swirls across the right side and the front. Interestingly, this is the same design but completely different material as her cloche worn back in 1x04. The season one cloche had a single layer of thin grey felt, while this hat has a raised dimensional design of color-shifting velvet.

Phryne of course has equally fashionable accessories, including a gorgeous grey silk scarf printed with white roses that picks up the rich grey in her cloche's decorative trim. Her earrings have two carved mother of pearl flowers each, with the bottommost flower containing a silver center, as seen in the bottom right corner of the exhibition earring photo.

Was this the first time Phryne apologizing to Jack for causing him grief?  She sounded genuinely remorseful, but he looked completely nonchalant. Let’s all move on, shall we?

(i mean, we’re talking about a beat here between ‘not always miss fisher’ and his slight lean, and aunt p interrupting, and i caught her dropping her hand on my first watch but thought she was just reaching but no?? phryne already had her fingers on his coat to pull him in, to hold on, no i’m losing my mind)

I have so much emotion about Jack at the end of Unnatural Habits. He's nervous, he's hesitant. He sits in the car just thinking and even when he does go up to the house he just taps on the window.

He doesn't know where they stand. So much has happened. But he knows he has to go in. Whatever happens here, it's up to him.

At the end of 2.1 he tells Phryne that he's not interested in Rosie anymore. Now he's here to tell her again. He needs to make sure she knows how he feels.

So even though he's worried, he walks in and he makes him clear. Yes he was with Rosie. But he has no intention of ending up anywhere else but with her.

#and then prudence cockblocks but the intention was there #can you tell im rewatching lol #phrack #jack robinson #phryne fisher #mfmm #unnatural habits #by the way its taken me multiple rewatches to get the habits nuns joke

Phryne opened her book and sipped her lemonade. Agatha Christie. What a plotter. Phryne wished briefly that the real world was so amenable to being solved.

i dont wanna b obnoxious but i think ppl genuinely need to constantly acknowledge that humans are 100% animals too like there isnt any actual significant difference in humans that allow us to categorize ourselves outside the realm of animals and i kno that most ppl kno this deep down but i think its important that the common vernacular reflects this fact

#too often i see the word 'animals' used to differentiate humans and other animals #and i kno this is out of habit but i think it should be phased out #many books and textbooks ive started reading have gotten in the habit of saying 'other animals' or 'nonhuman animals' which is better #but its just important to not let urself feel disconnected from or somehow 'above' the natural world imo #this isnt to say we should prioritize other animals above human lives btw cuz thats bullshit #just like respect humans as the animals we are n stop having crazy unnatural expectations for urself and ur body

how do you feel about dick sliding way down your throat?

It’s hard to get anything down your throat. The angle is finicky, and it’s not like opening wider is going to prevent a stomach-turning gag reflex. 

You decide to continue, and there are two things you learn quickly:

One, you’re running out of air. Throat-chan is busy unintentionally gagging, and you have to learn to calm the fuck down because panicking feels like your lungs are getting crushed. You generally want to be as relaxed and steady as possible, because you’ll maintain a slower pulse and you’ll be able to start controlling how your throat constricts. (i.e. instead of full-on gagging, you can initiate a swallow, which sorta makes gagging happen but at least it’s consciously timed.) I find it’s helpful to press my lips a little more firmly into someone’s pelvis to minimize the intensity when I gag, which reduces stomach acid from building up as quickly. Saves me a couple extra seconds.

Two, it is incredibly hard to take the reins and stay there unless you’re positioned topping — and even then I tend to prefer my partner to lead so I can focus on doing my thing safely. Dick tends to have a way of getting into spaces it technically shouldn’t, and chances are you might by lying down flat, on your side, on top, or stuck on your knees at someone else’s mercy. Please be conscious of deepthroating at different angles. I’ve had my nose plugged without warning, my neck gripped without warning, pair of hands gripping my head while i was gagging, all sorts of things happen. These things can easily trigger sudden laryngeal spasming or choking, and may cause your body to suddenly feel like vomiting. Take it slow with the hands to minimize that. Teach your partner to caress your cheek, slowly sliding their fingers where they want to squeeze. Ensure there’s ample chance for you to give a reaffirming yes or no.

You can totally enjoy this stuff with practice and persistence! Justᵀᴹ Reviewᵀᴹ these things and you’ll be okay. (Also stay calm and keep a hand on skin at all times to tap out.)

The eighth and final costume of "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is the triumphant return of Phryne's remarkable rooster kimono.

While it's impossible to tell which of her pajama sets Miss Fisher is wearing underneath, her rooster kimono serves as an elegant yet minimal outfit for her vulnerable talk with Jack late at night. The dressing gown itself is made of a black satin that serves as a backdrop to the intricate embroidery that adorn the shoulders and cover the back. A wide variety of threads paint a picture of a flowering tree branch going up from the hem of the kimono and reaching up to her shoulders, while two roosters battle it out in the air.

Essie Davis mentions the dressing gown specifically as her favorite item of clothing in both a video interview with Acorn TV as well as a written interview with NPR:

"I do have a favorite," she acknowledges. "Because I love the simplicity and the extraordinary detail of this beautiful black satin dressing gown that is in chinois embroidery, and on the back of it, are these two embroidered fighting cocks. And I think it is the most perfectly tongue-in-cheek piece of costume, and I love putting it on, 'cause I love the idea that there are fighting cocks." And then she cackles.

This is another item from costume designer Marion Boyce’s personal collection, and according to the Costume Exhibition Catalogue was “one of the last pieces that came out of China before they closed their trading borders in the 1920s”.

“I bought this years and years ago from a retro store, Gollyester in Los Angeles when I was doing Crocodile Dundee 3… it was the most beautiful thing I had seen. I’ve got a passion for Chinoiserie.” - Marion Boyce in the Series One Costume Exhibition Catalogue.

One of several robes designed for nightwear, this is certainly one of her most memorable ones, appearing in the very first episode, 1x01, and then showing up in 1x04, 1x06, 1x10, 2x08, before being bookended at the end of season two here.

Miss Fisher Snippets (127)

Me: Not close enough…

as i still process unnatural habits and annoy my nearest and dearest fandom friends with my endless discourse on phryne-jack-rosie dynamic absolutely nobody asked for as well as dissecting that last scene - you know the one where she said it’s never too late for him (ha!) and he wanted her to know he wasn’t with rosie and she was very relieved to know he wasn’t with rosie and he was fully going to kiss her and they smiled dumbly at each other and he went out presumably to commit murder so they could work together again soon and she ended her night leaning back against the door smiling dreamily (i know what you are phryne fisher!)

yes AS i still process ~that episode, i have somehow in a feverish daze reached season 3 and let me tell ya, the opening credits are nowhere ~near long enough for me to process that cold open because they’re ~dating? 🧎🏼‍♀️

it’s that breath she takes before she opens the door to what she thinks is jack that will haunt me, because this is jack and this matters. help.

‘is that an invitation.’

‘well i could wait a whole day for yours.’

and that exchange is snappy and quick and witty as they always are, but boy if there isn’t an undercurrent of something more there from phryne and as much as she’s been the flirty airy force in this dance they’ve been doing, i think it’s wearing on phryne a little, his reluctance and his guard. and i am really curious about their date and how it was arranged and who made it happen and what were the implications because that was NOT a friendly meal and they were both giving it such regard and relevance and care, and then the disappointment and frustration in the aftermath, and the trying again and god. that was a date date.

and then of course the main event with THE OTHER MEN. THE CONSTANT PARADE. lord i have asked and i have received 😭

and i don’t mean that in the sense that phryne should be called out on her men or her past (never!) but that it would bother jack? yes, of course it would bother jack, of course it does; and it may have taken enough whiskey to kill a horse (dear repressed jack, never change) but i’m so glad it came out. jealous trope can be so SO good when done right and so often on shows we get the tired generic shtick that comes out possessive and controlling and over the top, but here jack is in fact actively trying to be okay with it. he’s trying to be the man she needs him to be (or rather the man he thinks she needs him to be!) and it’s so endearing and so jack and i love that. but the thing is, jealousy is an emotion like any other and it’s human and when someone you love is with someone else, that’s gonna bother a person and i just love how honest and raw that scene is. especially considering how long it must have been brewing and how much it must have been bothering him to say something at all, let alone be so candid about it (i love you, alcohol).

(also phryne’s delivery of ‘what other men’ had me YODELLING 😭😭 i love her more than words can say.)

(oh but yes; he’s trying so hard to be what he thinks she wants him to be and all she wants is him.)

and then of course the undressing scene elmo fire gif 😮‍💨 now i don’t know if she was just saying it to throw him off kilter but i find it hard to believe phryne fisher wouldn’t do at least some of the undressing; sneak a peak, call it research, reconnaissance if you will.

i hate they didn’t get their date however i LOVE the layer her father’s presence has added to phryne. that last scene, the raw old hurt there - accentuated by the fact ~she always plays the role of the frivolous one; god that juxtaposition honestly gave me goosebumps! - was so honest and exquisite.

and when baron toast to his daughter, the look jack shoots her is ~knowing. she may be putting up an indifferent casual front but he knows her and he notices and god it’s so good. i really want this explored and addressed, especially but not exclusively with jack and phryne.

(also mac asking phryne what have you done to him 😭 and then when phryne says stood him up for another man she’s like come on cough up like phryne standing up jack is the most ridiculous concept 😭 also, mac and jack as friends in law is my favourite non-phrack headcanon interaction 🫶🏻)

and god i just love this new dynamic we’ve shifted to in s3, the way they are about each other and with each other is just so… inevitable. i mean she’s always been tactile but now she’s ~tactile; she’s not just teasing and edging anymore. and he’s been reserved but now he’s calling her out - and not just in his big speech but throughout the episode. and it feels like there’s a clear purpose to what they’re doing, a clear shift that’s happened where they went from knowing who they are to each other in season 2 to taking that knowledge and giving it direction and trajectory and purpose, and the progression is just wonderful to watch 😭

(that said, i’ve only seen 3.1 so far so if i’m horrendously wrong you’ll give me a break and we’ll just pretend i never said that 😂)

tl;dr they should kiss now and jack’s floppy bed hair is very lovely and should make an appearance alongside phryne’s going to bed face from unnatural habits and essie’s freckles are a source of great distraction to me

each day my roommate surprises me more and more with new things she finds weird in my habits or things i do lmao

i totally understand why ppl ship Laios and Kabru, i get the appeal, but to me that doesn't probably capture depths that their Freak Behaviors would create if combined in such a way

Kabru has just enough sense to not stick his dick in (that particular brand of) crazy, but he is still studying Laios like a bug. imagining him in situations. rotating him in the fantasy microwave. etc. he's thoroughly observed Laios in his natural habitat (dungeon), currently observing him in his unnatural habitat (civilization). he's seen Laios' family dynamics, has been sucked into his friendship circle, subtly interrogated fellow victims. there's only one thing left

he's never seen Laios Fuck

is this, perhaps, the singular aspect in life in which Laios is normal? is he his normal abrasive self or a conscience and tender lover? what does Laios think foreplay is? would he even register someone making moves on him in the first place? are dog collars involved at some point?? oh god what if the dog collars aren't even a sex thing for him--

imagine, you are an elven government spy here to seduce state secrets out of the mysterious king of the golden kingdom. months of pretending to care about his special interest are starting to pay off. after a banquet (you specifically were chosen for the job because of your immunity to poisons) he shyly invites you back to his chambers. this is it! the two of you are being shadowed, as would be expected for the king's first illicit encounter with a foreign dignitary, but you've finally done it!

Some Guy just walks in and starts taking notes while giving you the world's most intense Weezer Blue stare. you nervously, yet seductively, try to ask the king if he likes being watched or something~ ;) "haha yeah Kapru likes 'studying my habits' sometimes :)" oh god this isn't even a sex thing. with every second the Guy becomes increasingly distressed. Laios is just happy to be here

I like to imagine an MC with ~Trauma~ (because same) that is just completely oblivious to how much all the other characters will back-flip and change entire habits for them. Like, I'm envisioning:

MC is just casually hanging out like usual when some of the brothers break out fighting in the house...like usual, and the shouting and sounds of things breaking causes them to tear up and panic a bit. Although they don't really notice that for the next month, none of them get into fights and when they start to do so, they end up taking it outside.

Or maybe MC avoiding the angels for a good while and no one can figure out why till they mention that they're not used to people treating them like that and it's very unnatural. "At least being around demons feels more normal." And none of the characters take this well. Even Diavolo has to sit down and stare at a wall for a while and reevaluate his whole outlook on things. Simeon tries sounding a bit more "rough" for a while and it flops terribly.

Or even:

MC: Oh, there you guys are, I was wondering where some of you went.

*A few of the brothers lift their head as the human enters the living room.*

MC: Is there something going on? Why are you all here?

Mammon: Sittin' here watchin' the races.

Satan: Reading.

Lucifer: Taking the time to catch up on old Devildom infrastructure.

Levi: Playing the newest Hell Souls!

MC: *A bit confused.* So you're all doing your own thing...in the living room?

Satan: That's typically what the living room is for.

MC: But...doesn't that make you uncomfortable?

*All of them realize they've never really seen MC come out of their room unless invited otherwise.*

Lucifer: *Physically vibrating in his seat trying to hold back the "Take Them Under Your Wing" urge he's started to experience at least once a week now.*

I just...listen I know they're demons but they comfort they would bring...
