These frames with Lenore coming out of the shadows are so creepy!

The first one with her in silhouette is so ominous. Makes her look like a shadow or reaper or something.

And the second with her in more black and white and Morella and Berenice in more color. It makes her look like a corpse.

Idk exactly where I’m going with this, but it’s giving Lenore is a bad omen vibes.

Plus with her curse being the reason the Wild Hunt is here, the layouts in this episode feel significant.

Anyway, I feel like there is some serious foreshadowing going on here and I’m guessing it’s either pointing towards Lenore’s Spector, or her putting her friends in danger, or her causing something big to go down - maybe something to do with having to choose between Annabel and the Misfits?

It could honestly go so many different ways! I’m very excited to see where this season goes!

(And also a little scared)

Bonus because this panel is gorgeous!!

USS Enterprise decks (part 2)

Updated part 1 here

Updated part 2 here

Engineering section (secondary hull)

Unlike the saucer section, there doesn't seem to be a lot of locations here, so this second part will be very brief. The total number of decks in this hull wasn't given in the Writers Guide. However, early episodes like "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "The Corbomite Maneuver" mention an "engineering deck three" or "engineering deck five". The specific deck of each location is also unknown, so I can only give a list of the few places set here:

-Engineering: Not to be confused with the impulse engines in the saucer. The Writers Guide sets Engineering explicitly in the secondary hull. This is Scotty's main place of work, and houses the warp core. The design evolved a bit between seasons, and seems to have a lower and upper level.

-Hangar deck: It's obviously in this section, as a simple inspection of the ship from outside shows. Also confirmed in the Writers Guide to be near Engineering.

-Observation deck: I'm not so sure about this one, but it seems to be in this section too. Kirk brings Lenore to this place in "The Conscience of the King", and says the flight deck is visible from there. The corridor is also straight. It could match the visible windows in the stern, as seen in the photo below.

And that's all I can think about this section, really. It seems this hull contained mostly machinery, while living quarters, briefing or recreation rooms and science labs were in the saucer.

I hope these posts were useful to get a basic layout of the ship, whether the reader chooses to fill the gaps with the blueprints or a personal layout. Of course, feel free to make additions or corrections to this post.

[eulaliesactualwife]

i have visions for when i get back to my sims game

mainly for making a bunch of tiny houses on the same lot for the nevermore characters (minus montresor, who will live in isolation bc i hate him and annabel + lenore bc i want them to have kids)

housing arrangements:

will

morella and ada

duke and pluto

berenice and eulalie

prospero

for will:

smth this but with a bathroom and kinda bland (hell eventually move in with prospero)

for duke and pluto:

something with this layout but with darker colors, more clutter and such, and the second bedroom would be an office (probably smaller too)

morella and ada:

something like this but more of the stereotypical girly stuff (definitely a lot of the pastel pop kit)

for berenice and eulalie:

this minus the outdoor stuff, the kids room is changed to a small office space ish thing for eulalies weird things

for prospero:

i can't find a picture that represents what i want for him but something modern and cold (when will moves in with him it slowly becomes more homey)

different lots:

for montresor:

this but 10 x less cute, bare minimum on the inside

for lennabel:

something like this with a more dark and vintage look and the second bedroom is for their two kids (starting with one kid and one teen)

The Fall of The House of Usher (2023) Episode 2

I'm back, back in the New York Groove ~

Like I said before, I'm writing this because I need a hobby. I do feel like after sleeping on everything I typed up for with episode 1 that I can do with a reorganization of sorts. I simply cannot point out every one liner, clue, and reference to something obscure in this show without developing carpal tunnel.

So, with that, I'm going to change the layout of how I type up this episode and see if I like it better. At the moment of writing this, I have already finished Episode 2 and I'm chomping at the bit to write about it. SO without further ado, some analysis I was too tired to bring up in my first post.

Firstly, once I saw that The Murder in The Rue Morgue had its own episode title, I got the gist that each episode would be focused around the death of each sibling. I sincerely hope by now that this isn't a spoiler however, as the entire family has to die in order for the fall of the House of Usher to actually come to fruition. Luckily everyone in the family except for possible Lenore and Juno are shit people. So anyhow, the 8 episode layout where Episode 1 begins with the introduction, six episodes in the middle each center around the death of a sibling, and then the last episode will probably be reserved for the death of the twins. What's great is that you can assume that structure is what is intended and still be surprised by plot twists and modernization elements to make the story new, fun, and exciting. It's the journey, blah, blah, blah.

ALSO, I've never seen any other piece of Mike Flanagan's works, so this is my first time delving into a horror anthology. I am sure I liked Hill House things when it first came out bc people were very funny about it on here, but I was too much of a chicken to watch it.

Anyhow, now we move onto the next bit, background and plot!

So first, I have not read The Masque of the Red Death. I am literally just copy/pasting the first paragraph of the plot summary from Wikipedia, hyperlinks and all:

The story takes place at the castellated abbey of the "happy and dauntless and sagacious" Prince Prospero. Prospero and 1,000 other nobles have taken refuge in this walled abbey to escape the Red Death, a terrible plague with gruesome symptoms that has swept over the land. Victims are overcome by "sharp pains", "sudden dizziness", and "profuse bleeding at the pores", and die within half an hour. Prospero and his court are indifferent to the sufferings of the population at large; they intend to await the end of the plague in luxury and safety behind the walls of their secure refuge, having welded the doors shut to ensure no one enters or leaves.

Unfortunately, the episode does not start with our young prince Prospero. It starts with a flashback of Dupin in 1979 taking a photo of an exhumed and empty grave. At this point Dupin's plaque titles his as "Junior Fraud Investigator," and apparently isn't a police officer. The most important bit here is how Dupin pushes back against his boss and the boss asks him: "Say you win. If you could catch them all, take all of it, all the greed, the foulness, the rot in the world and sit down across from it, what would you say?" and then it immediately cuts to Dupin in that dilapidated childhood home of Roderick and Madeline Usher, and Dupin gets to ask "Was it ever going to be enough?" There's more there, but the callous way Roderick responds indicates that the mask has come up again briefly. He's defensive about Ligodone, he's defensive about his wife, he refuses to explain why there is no number of dollars in the world that will make him and Madeline feel satisfied with their success.

It was also important that in the past, Dupin tells his boss that "This world needs changing." This is the same ideal that the twins have, but the intent and the implication behind those same words these people said at approximately the same time culminates in them leading very different lives. For now, that's all I have to say on the matter.

Now, moving on. Perrie's corpse appears behind Dupin this time. This time Dupin does turn around but sees nothing, so we can assume that the corpses are just visions. The ghosts of Roderick's past coming back to haunt him, quite literally.

So when we first see Perrie in this episode, he's introduced in bed surrounded by naked bodies, sex toys, etc. I'm sure it is meant at first sight to shock the senses, but personally I couldn't stop thinking about how we are visually seeing Perrie being "boxed in" this hedonistic cage of his own making. This is Perrie's own bed, the people he chose to spend his time with, but as we see in the episode when we look at how his family interacts with him and how Verna speaks to him, Perrie has basically put himself into a box of his own deadly sin, Lust. In this vein, I wonder if I can do an analysis of each child as one of the deadly sins, omitting Pride. Pride has historically been seen as the worst sin, or the highest sin that brings forth all the other sins, so if I did do this analysis, I would immediately take Pride out of the equation only because I would ascribe it to the twins as the head of the family and as the parents of all of the other sins. I haven't watched the other episodes yet so I'm not sure if this analysis will keep up going forward but for now I have a general idea which sin I would ascribe to which child.

So moving on with the plot, Perrie wakes up and comes out to two people in his apartment and I recognized one of them! Molly Quinn, famously known for being Richard Castle's daughter and also the daughter of the other RV owning family in We're the Millers. She's a fond part of my childhood, and I'm loving her haircut. However, we see a weird, almost violent display of power when Perrie thinks his expensive eggs were eaten by his "friends" and I put friends in parentheses because I'm not entirely sure yet if Perrie does see these people as his friends, lovers, or even equals.

They discuss disappointment at Roderick vetoing supporting the Prospero club venture he had pitched, and Perrie says it might have been an overall good thing. He gets a call from Frederick, lovingly saved in his phone as Dickwad. Apparently he's supposed to be shadowing Frederick, but as soon as he walks in, his immaturity and naïveté derails the entire meeting with the Feds over Fortunato's poor environmental business practices. This enrages Freddie, and he accuses Perrie of being the mole informant. The continuous bit that Freddie struggles to differentiate between the two is actually quite funny, especially because Perrie has just shown his ass to not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but even he can keep those two different concepts straight in his head. Freddie really says some demoralizing shit to Perrie though, you can tell he sees himself above the other children, similarly to how Tamerlane's musings about the informant likely being "one of the bastards" from the first episode. Just because Roderick says you're family doesn't necessarily show that the children saw it the same way even when paternity is established.

Perrie lays out the details for the sex and drug-fueled club event to his two lackeys, and Verna briefly pops up on the roof of the building before Perrie looks back and sees that she's gone. We cut to the Rue Morgue, and Victorine and Alessandra lose another monkey. Victorine takes it hard and Alessandra tells her the last thing they should be talking about right now is human trials. However, we see that she's lying through her ass to her father, who is fast tracking this process because he's the person who needs that surgery.

Cut to Perrie asking Leo for drugs. So many drugs. Leo has funny quip in heres, but he's important because he tells Perrie that he's "better than a dealer, smarter than a DJ," and that "this is beneath you." Leo sees potential in Perrie that I saw a glimpse of when he was crunching numbers and setting entry fees for the guests. It is a shame that Perrie doesn't choose to listen to him in the end. And yes, another funny viagra quip.

We cut to Bill T. Wilson's...workout video? So that's what BILLT nation is. I will say the half-confused, half-concerned, half-disgusted, half-almost fascinated face Camille has is priceless here. We then cut to her watching a testimony from an alleged whistleblower at the Fortunato trial. Camille's willingness to find something about this whistleblower if there isn't anything to find speaks a lot about how she is as a PR manager. Ruthless, merciless, and focused on the ends to justify the means. The informant issue is eating at her because it was a factor she could not see or control. She zeroes in on Vic's clinical trial because she thinks it stinks, and we know it does, but she's got some ulterior motive that we don't know yet. The guy was admittedly fair in asking what Vic did to her, but it was one of those things you keep inside and never voice because Camille 100% has the ability to ruin you. Her glare was iconic. I was scared but also a little excited. I was hoping for some action but we cut to Perrie again instead.

A drop of water from the ceiling drips and lands on a phone. We talk about how to access the party, Molly Quinn uses her vocal fry to whisper sing an ad-libbed version of WAP, and we see the sprinkler again while Perrie asks about the water. We move to discussing the sprinklers to "make it rain" for the party and the guy for it says the sprinklers are shut off and Perrie calls bullshit because they dripped on his phone. He has this entire bit about hooking up the sprinklers to the filtered water tanks on the roof, etc, and starts talking about "The Golden Rule." I know this rule well, and while Perrie doesn't get to finish saying it before we cut to Roderick, I can confidently say as someone without money that money can solve many, many problems. So yes, whoever has the gold, does make the rules.

Roderick tells Dupin about the comic where he read about it. Before he can also finish saying "rule" Perrie's corpse appears to stand before him, and WOW he looks horrific. The SFX team deserves major props for this work, because he looks like a human anatomy model. 100% my money is that there's acid rain in the sprinklers/in the water tanks in the roof, and I'm probably right, but once again, the beauty of good media/literature/stories isn't about guessing the plot twist or the ending of the story before you get to it, it's about enjoying the process as you go along. I'm having a great time.

Roderick switches to something called CADASIL. Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy. (The subtitle person for this deserves a raise.) It is apparently a hereditary form of vascular cognitive impairment. "Before it kills you, it causes symptoms very much like dementia. Affects thinking, problem solving, spatial reasoning and memory. It can even cause hallucinations."

Ah. There it is.

Roderick has this. And there's no cure. And he's refusing all the medications. AND the only hope is preventative. THE EXPERIMENTAL SMART HEART MESH HE SPENT $200 MILLION ON THAT HIS DAUGHTER IS WORKING ON?! Ah, so he is spending the gold to make sure the rules can work for him. Even if it means cutting corners and costing lives. Amazing how much money can really take away your sense of humanity though.

He brings up Rufus Griswold and that unfortunate cemetery business. What I laughed at was the dry, subtle way Roderick just calls Gris "the original gangsta." I had to rewind to make sure my eyes and the subtitles weren't playing tricks on me. So apparently all of this, as we are finding out, starts there. In Gris' office. With the Gris himself, "the original cocksucker."

Oh, it is a flashback. Young Roderick goes in to talk to Gris, but what about? Gris pours himself a drink and acerbically mocks the FDA. The "Fuck Dicks Association." Roderick is clearly not used to this kind of vibe, but he plays along poorly, not that it seems to matter much to Gris. Then again, this is a man who succeeded the helm of Fortunato. When he talks, he expects others to play along, he doesn't care how badly they do it as long as he's the one speaking and in charge. Roderick tries to make a pitch but Griswold is unhappy to hear it. He's about to kick Roderick out but decides fuck it, he's already here. Might as well just pretend to listen and kick him out. Obviously he doesn't say that, but I did debate for most of high school. Some judges walk in biased and you know you've lost before you even open your mouth. This happens with WASPy soccer moms judging their kids' debate tournament, this happens with judges on a local and federal level even though we pretend it isn't true, and it is certainly happening right now with Roderick Usher about to try to pitch something to Rufus Griswold. It is a shame Roderick doesn't know it yet.

He pitches ligodone, the same drug that dupin is in modern times currently trying to nail Fortunato and the Ushers for for falsely advertising as everything Roderick is pitching to Gris now. It is a really good pitch, very idealistic. I think Roderick may believe ligodone is the cure for everything, but I'm hooked on his line "this world...needs changing." He's as idealist as young Dupin at this time. I am so committed to seeing what goes wrong.

The pitch continues, Griswold pushes back, and Roderick suggests that Fortunato will become a miracle and Griswold will become the new Messiah. This piques my interest. We've got the ultra-religious mom, the children being allegories for the deadly sins, and a reference to the head of Fortunato with ligodone as the next Messiah. It certainly invokes a sense of hubris with inevitable downfall. But then Roderick brings it back to his mom and how much pain she was in. It really throws me for a loop because I think the humanity of it all is really at the bottom of Griswold's mind.

We cut to a new location and a crying baby. we see Madeline first and then a woman with the crying baby. We quickly figure out this is Roderick's wife Annabel (hur hur Annabel Lee) who consoles him for not winning his pitch. Madeline looks out of place, uncomfortable being there and more focused on things outside of the domestic sphere like Roderick's failed pitch. When we cut to the silent time after the baby is quiet at night, we see Roderick in the middle of these two women, with Madeline at his right hand side. When Annabel expresses remorse about the familial ties Roderick has with Fortunato, with his mother and father, Madeline seems shocked that he would have told his wife about such a detail? Like ma'am, that is your brother's wife. I just get this codependent vibe from the two of them that really gives me the ick. Annabel really does her best to bring them back to humanity by saying money isn't everything, but Madeline is not buying it. Madeline is completely jaded, turned off by men, turned off by love, basically anything where human emotion can show off even a sense of vulnerability. and she's just kind of disrespectful towards Annabel. (There's a bit here about AI writing movies and TV shows, I see that insert, I acknowledge it, I will move on.)

Madeline starts salivating at the thought of using algorithms to mimic human consciousness and ho it speaks to immortality. This is the first time I've seen her care about anything since I've seen her in this house, so I'm writing this immortality bit down as a note for later.

"Fuck that tiny little man in his big office with his tiny little ideas. WE are going to change the goddamn world, and if Fortunato won't help us get there, we will trample them on our way."

Ah. Spoken like a true capitalist, Madeline. Annabel can't fight off this insatiable, almost rabid thirst of Madeline's to move forward, and clearly since she isn't in the present with us, clearly Madeline must have won Roderick over to her side either by force or by choice. Shame, since Annabel was the paragon of virtue and humanity in this argument, and just goes to show how almost inhuman Madeline has become in this pursuit to change the world.

In the present, Madeline is talking to Lenore about answering a bunch of questions. Apparently she's making an Ai-approximation of Lenore by havingher write a journal every day for four months, answer 10,000 questions, and have it worm its way through the internet and collect all of her virtual data. This is impressive, actually. I'm doing some research on AI right now for an old law school professor so I've learned a lot about AI in the past few months and I have some background on this AI approximation that Madeline is trying to create. I might write a separate post about it altogether.

Back to Madeline. She assumes everyone wants to live on after they die, like the ancients. She had her Ancient Egypt phase, I see. This is Madeline's Roman Empire. She unboxes the mummification tools the Ancient Egyptians used to scoop out the brain, but there's a bunch of other artifacts behind her as well, propped up like trophies. She calls it her "immortality collection," so it isn't about Ancient Egypt, her hyperfixation is the concept of immortality.

Pym comes in and tells her she was right about something. Perrie's bank statements show that he's spending less. It either means he's "coming down in his old age" or that he's spending more cash. If so, he's dealing, pimping, or taking a payout in cash from the Federal government. Juno doesn't have her own accounts, she's co-signed on Roderick's. MAdeline here treats Juno with derision, calling her "the child bride" but ma'am. Once again, the common denominator here is that your brother picked these women to marry! Those are his decisions, deal with it! Either way, she's also intent on finding the informant.

Lenore walks in on Juno and Roderick being handsy in his office, but they quickly settle themselves. Juno is hilarious here, but it does highlight that Juno and Lenore are closer in age and interests than anyone else in this household. Blegh. Ok, maybe Madeline's comment about the whole child bride thing was on point. Juno is such comedic relief here, I'm not gonna lie, this actress is stellar, and I love her Irish accent. I think after all that tension and analysis, it was good to have a break. These things are too long, I need to shorten them for Episode 3.

Oh, cut to Perrie trying to drop off documents for Froderick. Dickwad. Frederick. Freddie. Morrie answers the door and tells him she's sorry about how Freddie can be. She tells Perrie she gets it, and idk, am I getting "battered wife" vibes here or is this just an act to try to get him to warm up? Perrie instead decides to be a degenerate and invite his shitty's brother WIFE to his expensive orgy. She scoffs and rebukes him, but he pulls some psycho manipulation about sex that as a demi person I can't relate to, but I appreciate her being all "How dare you!" about it. I still think if the show is going to put moving music in the background on it that she's going to end up going though, so maybe an early RIP to Morella Usher? Perrie's a whole ass freak, but Morrie is considering it, so wow.

Cut to Tamerlane. She's watching Bill set the table and then the bell rings. Off screen she invites a woman in who asks if a wig works for her? Ok, so this girl looks a bit like Chloe Fineman from SNL, but she just walks in wearing a wig and says hi to Bill like she's done this a million times before. Is this some type of roleplay? Ok, they're paying her in cash and Tamerlane is explaining her roleplay? She wants a romantic, intimate dinner? But she wants this girl to pretend to be her? Wait, she's sitting down and watching? Ok, so Tamerlane is sitting down and watching a hired girl pretend to be her, watch Bill treat her like he treats her, and Tamerlane gets off by watching it all as a third party observer? Her sexual fantasies literally start at dinner. I mean I just said Perrie's a whole ass freak, but Tamerlane kind of is one on a whole other, more voyeuristic, self-insertion level. I am confusion.

Cut to Camille watching Bill's workout video and kind of following his workout in a fascinated way? I'm also confusion. Anyway, her interns walk in and she turns it off, but then asks for updates on Vic's clinical trials and is frustrated that Toby can't get any results. She then goes into background of the testing facility "Roderick. Usher. Experimental." R.U.E. So she sets up the bit about the Rue Morgue. My favorite Poe short story. Tina goes into the paralytic nerve agent but Camille is uninterested. She looks through photographs and then..gets up to join them in bed? I had to rewind again. I didn't even realize they were undressing while debriefing her. And Camille's wearing a rope bra. And they're her interns! Besides the ethical and workplace violations from the freaking PR person for Fortunato, this whole family is FULL of sexual deviants. Wtf. I am confusion. AGAIN.

Cut to ships in a bottle. Frederick is showing Lenore how to make a ship in a bottle for Grampus Roderick. Morrie is headed out and apparently she's going to the orgy party. Great...

Everything is stuffed into lockers and masks come on. Perrie is overlooking this domain like the young Prince Prospero from the story. He gets excited when he sees and realizes his dickwad brother's hot wife showed up to his orgy. Morrie plays dumb, but Perrie tells her to try some drugs and one of the twelve bedrooms before he says he will find her later.

Cut to security cameras. Perrie points out all the famous/famous adjacent people who showed up. He reveals his plan to use the security footage form this hedonistic orgy to blackmail everyone who arrived at the party. Suddenly, inviting his dickwad's brother's hot model/actress wife makes a lot more sense, and he says it out loud. He drops a tidbit about Freddie is afraid of using elevators. Mght be useful for later. He then proceeds to give his lackeys ecstasy through mouth to mouth and they all head out to continue partying before a woman in a skull mask walks through the door. We know it is Verna, but Perrie doesn't know who she is. Verna and Morrie briefly make eye contact before Verna slips away and Perrie follows her to ask her who she is.

Verna finally removes her mask and she and Perrie somehow end up in a private bedroom. I don't know if the red lights are indicative of the seventh room in the original story, but if it is just a stylistic option, it also looks fitting. Verna tells him he can take off his mask. He asks her if she knows him, and she says she knows everyone here because this is her kind of party. She talks about the music, the lights, the beautiful flesh. She really leans into "the smells of it." And no, it isn't what you would think. "All the sweat, the perfumes, the lotions, the musk. sex, yes. But with a dash of Rome."

Verna asks him to tell her, and not lie, if this party is everything he wanted it to be. He says, "Not yet. Almost." She responds that "nearly realized is the sweetest. It is better...in the moment just before than in the moment after." She tells him he did it, and there's still time. For what? He asks. Verna responds..."To stop it."

She tells Perrie "Things like this, all things in fact, have consequences." He tells her that's not what is happening here based off of his invite (even though he KNOWS he plans to blackmail everyone in this room later.) Verna responds there are always consequences and talks about him. About choices that lead to consequences, and how his existence is a consequence. I wrote down the whole speech because those sequence of choices will likely be illuminated once the entire series is over, so I want that to reflect upon during each episode.

It is a shame, because even though Verna tells Perrie that tonight he is consequential, he doesn't even realize how serious she is. She gives him a chance to take it all back, and then the two of them could have had fun, and that she's got a weakness for bad boys. She tells Perrie "you are a pretty, pretty little thing" before she disappears into the party again. Perrie chases after her but she's gone. He takes something, puts his mask back on and returns to the party. Verna is seen whispering into the ears of the security guards, the bartender, etc before she appears behind Morrie and tells her to "Go. Now." So Morrie is given due warning. Now the decision is up to her whether to leave or stay as midnight approaches. Morrie stays, and has to deal with the consequences of her choices.

The acid rain in the sprinklers rains down and proceeds to basically liquify the entire party. Everyone looks like anatomical models, but Perrie is still moving a bit. Verna approaches his melted body and whispers "You beautiful boy" and kisses him on the lips as he dies before placing her skull mask on his face. And that's the end of the episode.

There's a lot there. I feel like I have to immediately start Episode 3 in order to recover from the whiplash of all of that, but this is going up now. I think for Episode 3 I will take it "scene by scene" as I plan to watch the entire episode in full since Rue Morgue is my favorite short story and I wanna see how it plays out with Camille. If I'm lucky I'll get Episode 3 up today but I am very much at the whim of my moods and medication.

Overall this was a good episode, we saw everyone else's freaky sex interests and I do think Perrie gives me "lust" deadly sin vibes, especially because his penchant for lust is what got him killed. Verna calling him beautiful before and after the acid rain is intriguing. She could be saying his demon-esque look is appealing because she herself is a demon. I got a google notecard/ad type of thing for an article saying that Verna is the Raven because it is an anagram, but I'm interested in seeing other explanations as to what Verna could be. She could be the literal devil that the twins made a deal with to get where they are, I'm not entirely sure. I just want to get through this series with as little spoilers as possible to see how accurate my guesses are.

Creating an A3 Character poster

To start off with we needed to begin with blocking our character ideas out as silhouettes, with a few different ideas on how they could look and trying out poses, as one of the most important things in character design is having recognisable silhouettes. I had a pretty solid idea of what I wanted my characters to look like so a lot of mine were trying out different poses.

unfortunately, I was a bit behind on this part, so the next part was a bit rough. At this point we had to make a few different designs for a poster, then print them off for a group crit session. I had only finished one at the time, and only partially ended up working on another one.

Because I only had feeback for the first design, I ended up sticking with it. A lot of the feedback was quite positive, encouraging leaning into the setting and design elements on display. The main complaints were characters heads making tangents with the backdrop and some suggestions on making where the characters were looking more clear to better convey emotion, as well as adding a glow of some sort to Lenore's Ghost and adding more perspective. Additionally, Giving the ghost a "tail" of sorts was now largely a redundant idea as it wasn't very visible in this pose, so it was suggested to give her legs instead. From this feedback I took this first draft and began to iterate a more refined version of it, trying to work on some of the problems as well as add some suggested elements, such as adding a sort of zig zag into the design to draw the eye.

This was the next major draft, and a lot has changed. The ghost now had legs, and I had also decided to put more effort into the backdrop, based on some gothic castles, as well as a Church/clock tower inspired by some really cool intricate ones I saw in Deltarune. This was a definite improvement, but it still had quite a few problems. not only was the backdrop still very flat, but the overall perspective of the illustration was nonsensical and contradictory in several places. With some help from Toby I used a perspective grid to concept a more realistic3 dimensional layout for the space, and made things a bit more clear, as well as making use of the distort tool to use my detailed facades in a more 3D concept while keeping the designs.

This was the result, and it was a marked improvement over the last one, while keeping it's same strengths. The characters are now sitting on a wall instead of an ill-defined edge, and the setting is now clearly an abandoned courtyard or plaza, with the tower and other buildings looming over and heading back into the backdrop surrounded by rubble. Honestly I was genuinely floored by how much of a difference a proper 3D perspective made to the whole illustration and I'm a lot happier with the general composition as a result. I also at this point decided to Redo the title, attempting to draw a Gothic script based on an image, and it looks so good! I'm really happy I went back and did that. Next I solidified The linework, and finished off the deatils o the characters and their facial expressions.

I'm really happy with how these designs came out, and it was fun to mess around with the Opacity for Ghost Lenore to make her appear more spectral. As you can see, I also began work on adding values at this point, though I had only got as far as the characters. That was my next step, and in the next draft the values were complete.

You can see at this point I had some of the lighting in the scene worked out with moonlight coming in at one of the diagonals. Also worth noting is that here I began using some curves filters on the characters and messing around with them to make them stand out more. I ended up keeping Ghost Lenore's one at a higher setting to ensure she stood out, but I was unsure how it would look for the automaton, so when I started experimenting with colour I had two different versions to choose from: one with a curves filter for her and one with the curves nearly turned off but not quite. shown in order below:

as you can see, the former one using curves for the automaton ended up looking too light and washed out, so I went for the latter option. After that, as you might be able to tell, a lot of the colour work revolved around trying to get the lighting and shadows on the Automaton Lenore right, as she is made of reflective metal. The main light source close to her is the glow emanating from the ghost so a lot of the highlights and shadows were based around that.

After I was happy, I began adding this rest of the colours to the different sections. At this point I also painted in some more shadows from the buildings, as well as a glow highlight using a softer brush around the ghost to demonstrate the light emitting from her. After that, and some more minor adjustment to the line work, the poster was finished!

I am so unbelievably happy with how this came out! I think it would great as the cover for a graphic novel or a webcomic! Before this course I was worried it wouldn't go well but I feel like I've improved a lot!

5 Influential Textile Designers of the Last Century Every Surface Pattern Artist Should Know

Great design doesn’t exist in a vacuum. As a surface pattern designer, knowing where our industry came from can sharpen your eye, fuel your creativity, and deepen your understanding of what makes a pattern timeless.

In this article, we spotlight five of the most influential textile designers of the last 100 years—pioneers who shaped everything from mid-century interiors to contemporary fashion. Their work continues to inspire today’s surface design landscape, and learning from them is a powerful way to grow as an artist.

Let’s explore who they were, why they mattered, and what modern designers can learn from their legacy. Follow Patternfield

1. William Morris (1834–1896)

Key Impact: Pioneered the Arts & Crafts movement, emphasising beauty in everyday objects.

Although Morris lived before the 20th century, his influence permeates modern textile design to this day. With richly detailed floral repeats and nature-inspired motifs, Morris elevated home furnishings into a form of art.

Why it matters today:

Morris’s work reminds us that craftsmanship and storytelling matter—even in repeat patterns.

His seamless blends of art and function laid the foundation for modern surface design thinking.

2. Lucienne Day (1917–2010)

Key Impact: Revolutionised post-war interiors with abstract, organic patterns.

A leading figure in British modernist design, Lucienne Day brought a sense of optimism and movement to mid-century textiles. Her breakthrough print Calyx (1951) introduced bold, abstract motifs into mainstream home decor, shifting consumer taste away from traditional florals.

What you can learn:

Balance playfulness with structure. Day’s designs were vibrant—but never chaotic.

Her ability to connect fine art with commercial design remains a key lesson in versatility.

3. Marimekko (founded 1951, Finland)

Key Designers: Maija Isola, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi Key Impact: Bold, unapologetic color and shape that redefined Scandinavian modernism.

Marimekko isn’t a single designer, but rather a design house that nurtured a collective of pioneering textile artists. The brand’s signature use of bright, flat color and oversized motifs helped break the boundaries of fashion and interiors alike.

Takeaway for today’s designer:

Simplicity can be powerful. Big motifs, bold hues, and repeating confidence can become a brand signature.

Think like a brand—not just an artist. Marimekko’s patterns were instantly recognizable across categories.

4. Zandra Rhodes (b. 1940)

Key Impact: Bridged textile design with high fashion.

Known for her maximalist, hand-drawn motifs, Zandra Rhodes injected expressive surface design into haute couture. Her prints weren’t just decorative—they were part of the garment’s structure and identity.

Why she’s relevant:

Don’t be afraid of scale, layering, or unconventional layouts.

For designers interested in textiles beyond licensing—fashion, product design, or custom collaborations—Rhodes is a masterclass in creative risk.

5. Jack Lenor Larsen (1927–2020)

Key Impact: Elevated handwoven and industrial textiles into architectural art.

Larsen blended global craft traditions with modern manufacturing, creating textiles for interiors that pushed aesthetic and technical boundaries. His fabrics graced the homes of architects and cultural icons alike.

For the pattern designer:

Explore tactile storytelling—how a visual pattern might evoke texture, movement, or emotion.

Larsen’s legacy is a reminder that textile design can—and should—be multidimensional.

i saw harlequinn and yeeted so fast /j I hand Elaine as a sacrifice to any slot you want owo

ELAINEEEE queen

There are a few roles I can see Elaine fitting in!! Some of them are hero roles, some grey roles, and some villainous roles... I'll talk a little bit more about each role's personality and roles in the story under the cut <33 (also obligatory harlequinn posting/j)

Essence A-Tier | Forgotten Poem

Forgotten Poem is a grey character with a secondary skin!! She's one of the many victims of the tragedies that happened on the school's 4th floor. She's called the Forgotten Poem because they were the only victim who couldn't be identified after her death, leading to her name being "forgotten" in history :( and it's been so long that she's forgotten her own name too... leading to her calling herself the "Forgotten Poem"

In the storyline, Forgotten Poem's seen around a lot on the 4th floor and holds a lot of lore importance for being a character with an unknown past and non-existent future. She's a spirit on the shyer side, but oftentimes holds items required to move deeper within the 4th floor.

Shop A-Tier | Bound to the Past

Bound to the Past is another grey character. Bound to the Past is a friendly spirit who excels in storytelling, and acts like of like a living record of the past. They know all the stories of the ghosts on the 4th floor, what lead them to their demise, and much much more.

Bound to the Past is a curious character because they don't see Lenore as a real person. Something about Lenore is wrong/doesn't make sense to BthP. But they're often very useful when it comes to dealing with more aggressive spirits, like 4th Floor Dissension or Warning Sign. While working underneath Safety Lullaby... they're rather passive, not trying to capture Lenore when they see her.

Essence B-Tier | Past Literature Club

Past Literature Club... Well, PLC is a group of 3 b tiers all combined under one name!! They're a club that used to meet on the 4th floor's grand library and they would read through all the library's new arrivals to determine if the books being sent to the prestigious school were appropriate, and where those books would go. They'd also participate in keeping up the maintenance of the school library, so everyone could enjoy a nice and clean library to study in.

Past Literature Club serves as Lenore's allies throughout the story and often treats her like the 4th member of their club they had never gotten.

The 1st club member is Delora, who is the young organizer of the club. She was in charge of cleaning the library and organizing club lunches and takes on this sisterly role for her other clubmates.

The 2nd club member is Jessie, who is like the muscle of the group. She's very strong and carries around crates of books with ease. Because of her strength, she takes it upon herself to protect the other clubmates in dangerous situations.

The 3rd clubmate is Danni, who's the more smart and knowing one They're very familiar with the layout of the 4th floor, including all the secret passageways around. They're more suspicious of Lenore than the other 2 and doesn't mess around.

Essence A-Tier | Amusia

You know Amusia!! And you love Amusia!! But, just as a mandatory recap, Amusia is the second companion of Gracie [Korrie] and it shares a name with the condition amusia [a condition marked by inability to produce music] because... lore reasons. Similar to Gamebreaking Glitch [Red], Amusia is a "broken" character, in terms that they don't work as they are supposed to. This causes them to be regarded as glitches, but because Amusia's glitch isn't as severe as Red's glitches, Amusia often goes around undetected... until someone gets hurt, that is.

Amusia is, despite everything, a good guy. gal? A good pal. Even if many of their abilities cause harm to befall others, they're a good creation. Amusia's one of Gracie's closest friends and they carry lots of lore importance. But biggest of all??? Amusia is baby.

Shop A-Tier | Passenger in Blue

The passenger in Blue is the first (and only lol) red option. They work with Otherworldly Guest [Harlequinn] to try and capture Grace and her companions on the subway train, and often try extreme methods of capture that just don't... work.

They’re not a bad person exactly… but the people that they work for? The company is definitely bad… little lore drop but PiB and OG were both kind of forced into their villainous positions in the essence. For OG, it revolves around a sickly loved one and an inability to take care of them. For PiB, it revolves around keeping something important to them open/in business.

[possuminnit]

omg wait lainey have i ever told you that in my origins daemons au wilbur's daemon is a possum??? her name is Lenore & i chose a possum bc 1. Possumbur <3 and 2. playing dead (:

(Also not related but the Niki layout is really cute)

SCREAMS. NO... his daemon is a possum....<- yeah this is gonna affect me for the rest of mylife. THE NAME LENORE IS SO CUTE TOO.. I love her I am her number one fan (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)

also RIGHT... V tempted to use it maybe for the rest of December then swap back to this pfp bc.Ywah

[metfell]

absolutely not forced ofc but if you talked about why you dislike your most disliked pkmn gens... may i ask why you like your favorite gen(s) :]

hold on ill copy/paste my rant from discord also long fucking post under the cut

from discord: "CAUSE LIKE THE THING IS RIGHT IS THAT POKÉMON USED TO BE ABOUT EXPLORATION AND MAKING YOUR OWN STORY WITH YOUR POKÉMON

AND NOW ITS JUST THE GODDAMN POKÉMON COMPANY CHURNING OUT A FUCKING TELLTALE GAME WITH BATTLES INSTEAD OF QUICKTIME EVENTS

I HATE IT SO MUCH IF I WANTED IN HEART GOLD TO TAKE ON THE GYM LEADERS IN A DIFFERENT ORDER THAN WHAT WAS INTENDED THEN I COULD

AND THE ROUTES ARE JUST HALLWAYS NOW

THERES NOWHERE TO EXPLORE

HEART GOLD HIDES ITEMS BEHIND TREES AND COLUMNS AND BUILDINGS AND GETS YOU TO RUN AROUND AND BACKTRACK

AND BLACK AND WHITE WAS A MASTER CLASS IN EXPLORATION WITH THEIR GORGEOUS ROUTE DESIGNS

FUCK DUDE THE SINNOH GAMES WERE AMAZING

THEY HAD SO MUCH TO DO

NOW IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOW FAST CAN WE GET THE STORY OVER WITH SO WE CAN GET TO COMP BATTLES

THE FUCKING HEART HAS BEEN SUCKED OUT OF THE GAMES"

and then my favorite generations are 3 and 5 ^_^ hoenn has some of the best pokemon ever imo and gen 5 was when game freak peaked. i think their best games are the 2D ones i think they could handle churning out yearly games when they were 2D for handheld gaming like the gameboy or the DS.

i love hgss too i think if you combined the story of black and white and the walking pokemon gimmick of hgss with the route layouts of gen 3 youd have an incredible pokemon game maybe even the best.

i love the vibrant colors of gen 4 and 5 i think they pokemon sprites all look dynamic and i think hgss fixed a lot of the issues the sinnoh sprites had with looking a little lifeless, and then gen 5 added so much PERSONALITY into them its amazing you can tell exactly how each of these pokemon act just by their little motions during battle.

i love rotation and triple battle mechanics i think they provided a lot more strategy and planning ahead and they could have EASILY turned it into something REALLY COOL

in terms of starter design we'll never top sinnoh though. those are the PERFECT starter designs. absolutely gorgeous. perfect. they all balance each other out too. expert planning. sinnoh actually has a great map layout too with all the routes weaving in and out of mt. coronet it makes you feel like youre really going ALL OVER SINNOH.

also back to gen 5 THE BATTLES WERE HARD!!! THEY WERE HARD AND THEY WERE GOOD THEY HAD GOOD MECHANICS I WISH THEY HAD A FEW MORE POKEMON CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING FEEL EVEN BETTER BUT LIKE ELESA'S GYM??? INFAMOUS. LENORE? EVERYONE GETS ONE-SHOT BY RETALIATE AS A FIRST TIME PLAYER. THESE TRAINERS PACK A PUNCH AND CHALLENGE MODE TAKES THAT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL ITS AMAZING!!!!

it just feels like they had the time to put all the features in and polish them with care. and i think that the reason i hate all of the 3D pokemon games is they feel like theyre all rushed. save for like. x/y. that ones just not a good story tbh. its fine tho. but it is the decline of everything. sun and moon is a cash grab banking on you finding their characters likable and story interesting while it handholds you like crazy the entire game. team skull is fun at least unlike team yell. but neither it nor swsh feel like you as the player are really in the know about what the fuck is going on. at least you get to fight lily's mom in the end of sumo. unlike swsh where the story just kinda pitters out sadly while all the fucking grownups do everything and tell you not to worry about it and send you off to do another easy as fuck gym battle only made bearable by the amazing music.
