So I Know It’s Late November And Everyone Has Pretty Much Moved On To Christmas And Such, But I’m

So I know it’s late November and everyone has pretty much moved on to Christmas and such, but I’m somewhat slow with processing things and I still wanted to share my Gotham-themed trunk that I did for my church’s Trunk-or-Treat this Halloween. It’s the first year I’ve gone so specific with a theme, but I got so obsessed with Gotham over the summer that I couldn’t help myself. So, I decided to make my trunk into the Iceberg Lounge (circa early season 4, though my Penguin costume is more season 3-inspired). 

I’ll probably do a few separate posts, actually, just to break down all the different parts and how I made them, but here are some general pictures of my trunk and myself in costume. For anyone who doesn’t know, Trunk-or-Treat is a thing some churches, and other organizations, do where a bunch of people line up their cars in a parking lot and decorate their trunks. It provides a shorter, safer trick-or-treating route for parents with young children or anyone who doesn’t want to go house to house, and it’s also a way for people like me who live way out in the country to get trick-or-treaters. (Speaking of living out in the country, I did wash my car the day before this, but living on a gravel road, the dust always comes back...)

My Iceberg Lounge trunk, in brief, included purple umbrella lights fixtures, a frozen Ed-berg, penguin statues, and Oswald’s shiny orange bar counter. For my costume, I wore a fancy suit (obviously, haha. I also learned it’s really fun to shop for menswear). I even found a wing-collared shirt like Oswald wears in late season 2/season 3.  I knew I would never be able to get a wig into proper disco vampire form, so I decided to wear Oswald’s bowler cap; I still probably didn’t get the wig trimmed short enough on the sides (I bought a basic black bob wig at Walmart and trimmed it) but I’m pretty pleased with how the spiky bangs turned out. Naturally, I also found myself a nice long, black umbrella to complete the look :) 

I was really hoping that at least one Gotham fan would come through and get it, and I could point to my icy Ed and go “look! I even have Ed!”, but alas, no one did. One family did a Batman-themed trunk and I strolled over, as in character as I could manage, to introduce myself, but I did have to explain my costume to them. I was fairly happy, though, that at least a couple of people did get that I was the Penguin (”let’s see, purple parasols and birds... you must be... the Penguin?” guessed one gentleman). Anyways, now I’m posting it here, so hopefully some Gotham fans will see it and appreciate my theme!

It’s been unseasonably warm this weekend in Iowa and I’m having dreams of a grand garden this spring (the kind where I'd never actually be able to keep it all weeded, but a girl can dream; I’ll probably end up with at least a few herbs and some pumpkins and peppers, though).

I’m also getting really into the idea of making one of these super cute faerie gardens. They are adorable and fantastic and I want one. I’ve been shopping for fairy houses and I have far too many tabs of them open.

Hm... it’s probably a tie between Lipton Island Peach Mango and Stash Coconut Mango Wuyi Oolong. I don’t mean to be plugging brands but those are just the ones I keep in my cupboard. I like it fruity and sugary :) 

I don’t use milk with those, but if I’m drinking a more intense tea, like an English breakfast tea, I’ll use milk with that. That’s relatively rare for me, though. Most of the time I just use as much sugar as can effectively dissolve... I’m using hyperbole but also not. 

tea drinkers rb with your fav type of tea and whether you drink your tea with milk or not

Thank you this has been invaluable to me as an actress developing this character :)

contrary to popular belief, Mercy Lewis actually lives naked among the raccoons in the forest that surrounds Salem

theatre acting the crucible Mercy Lewis I'm joking a little but also not I love your headcanons for Mercy as a feral gremlin child :) fun fact this post has been in my drafts for two years now! we had just gone off book in 2020 when rehearsals got cancelled because pandemic but now we are back and almost to show week!! in a weird way it's been kind of nice getting to live with Mercy in my head for way longer than I would with a regular show I've had a lot of thoughts about her‚ from her affections for Abby (not entirely platonic) to her place in th power structure f her society it will feel so good to finally do this show though. it's been unfinished business for a while! but yeah. on the one hand Mercy is kind of terrible but on the other hand I kind of love her really‚ all she wants to do is dance naked in the woods. and also Abby remind me to post my playlist for her some time love our feral gremlin child who also does some murder 'a marvellous cruel plot to murder' as Danforth says I'm half-tempted to write fanfic of what happens after Abby and I/Mercy rob her uncle and run away together who knows how that will go though. the other night the actress who plays Abby and I were joking around an I don't even remember what I said but she threatened to throw me off the boat before we reached the Caribbean so. it might not go so well for Mercy in the end after all. lol but personally I like to think they get their happily ever after :) you know‚ after all the murder anyways yes‚ excellent headcanon

I second the request! That or someone on Etsy who knows how to screenprint things needs to get on making them. I could hang it up next to my Ravenclaw banner in the library/living room :) 

me @ gotham

ok how much for one of these banners

So Gerard’s Quarantine Coloring Book Got Me Thinking, And I’ve Had These Lyrics Stuck In My Head

So Gerard’s Quarantine Coloring Book got me thinking, and I’ve had these lyrics stuck in my head a lot lately (what with the quarantine and everything), so I made my own little doodly coloring page with them. 

In the spirit of the Quarantine Coloring Book, feel free to color it and post your own colored versions of it if you’d like! (Though of course I’d appreciate credit for the drawing part of it if you do post it :) And please tag me so I can see it!)

Now that I’ve discovered the “save as draft” feature, I have this whole backlog of things I’ve been meaning to post. I saved this back around when I reblogged that Kitlaf song. I’m not sure I can really say I ship them, but I mean, who doesn’t get beach scene feels. Well, and hero/villain ships are kind of my thing--although I suppose there’s enough moral ambiguity with Kit that it’s not that simple, which makes the dynamic that much more interesting.

I also think this is a really neat art style, like an old cameo necklace. It feels like something you might find half buried by ash after a fire stole this old necklace from its hiding place in the attic where it was tucked away decades ago. A strange old relic, full of stories and secrets, which one might turn over in one’s fingers, contemplating. 

I also find the pose interesting, how Olaf is somewhere between pulling away and leaning in. The artist has done a great job of making the silhouettes recognizable, too; Kit’s messy, pencil-decorated hair is spot on.

The Lande of Violet Mists

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
