*Lacrimosa crackles on a gramophone*

The phone won’t stop ringing, there’s a man-thing in the castle, and the girls are using a maiden’s head as a football…

[questionablespider]

That look she gives Mother Miranda....

All I can say is wow, yum, and uhh I’m complete her’s.

[questionablespider]

quick rough blocky translation of this weird puppet video, some stuff might be inaccurate:

Song: Don’t be afraid! Come to the bio-village Everyone is happy in a family [Vampire] Domito (Dimitrescu) onee-san [Slippery man] Moro (Moreau) kun [Likes machines] Heisen (Heisenberg) san [Spirit doll] Angie Dont be~ don’t be afraid

It’s a segment called “let’s have fun in bio-village!”

Title: Sucking blood

Alcina: “Everyone, gather around for a video!” Everyone: “Yes~” Salvatore: “Hey hey sister Dimitrescu what are we doing today?” Alcina: “Today, we’ll sing and paint together!” Karl: “Yay!” Salvatore: “I can’t wait!”

Alcina carries 2 buckets of “red paint”: “I’ve brought these” Salvatore: “Hmm? What’s this?” Alcina: “It’s red paint!” Karl: “Wow amazing!” Salvatore: “But I don’t think there’s enough…” Alcina: “Umm, Right…, what should we do?” Salvatore: “What should we do?…oops! My feet are slipping!” [He slips and gets chainsawed]

Karl: “Oh, there’s a lot coming out (blood)” Alcina: “Yes it is. Just at the right moment” “There is a lot of “red paint” now! Everyone let’s sing and paint!”

More song: Very red. very red? What’s the colour of? A young man’s body fluids! A quick bite, Oh~no!

Alcina: “I want more, I need more!!! More more more!!” [Alcina goes berserk because she wants MOAR blood]

Karl: “This is bad! Some switch in sister Dimitrescu is flipped! (sort of means going berserk?)” [He gets head axed]

[Please wait for a moment]

Song continues: Don’t be scared of bio~ Everyone, come to this happy village!

Lil Angie beside the notice board: The notice board is a survey of “why didn’t you buy RE7?” 1) Too scary 2) Don’t like horror games 3) It was too gross

Narrator: “This program was produced in reflection to the opinions that the previous RE work was too scary”

[And then info about the upcoming demo] Salvatore: “I can’t wait!” Karl: “If you don’t play the demo, sister Dimitrescu might suck your body fluids!“  Alcina: “I want to~” Angie: *exclamation sounds* Alcina: “Well then everyone” Everyone: “Bye-bio~!” *bio is obvs abbreviation of biohazard

She was going to bed but SOMEONE keeps ruining her plans !

[questionablespider]

She’s right, you know.

[questionablespider]

I’ve outrun men (who were in flat, comfortable shoes) while wearing four inch heels.

Theory time:

Alcina doesnt run at full speed because she is wearing heels??

[questionablespider]

Ossimoro

[questionablespider]

While I don’t know the height of her heels, It is possible to run in them. Staying on the balls of your feet is key. I’ve personally worn, and run in, four inch heels, specifically during a Captain America photoshoot at DragonCon. I ended up outsprinting the men in the group who were all wearing far more practical footwear, like army shoes.

you know, the clip of bela saying “mother, i bring you fresh prey” and alcina responding “you’re so kind to me, daughters” plus how easy she is for ethan to outrun got me wondering

what if alcina needs her daughters to survive

what if she’s just not very good at hunting because of her size, and she needs bela, cassandra and daniela to help her catch prey, like cubs bringing their kills to an old lioness

what if her thiccness is simply because her daughters love her very much and keep her well fed

[questionablespider]

It sounds like she’s saying “the mortal”. But, knowing Ethan, it could be “the moron”.

transcript of the family convo:

alcina: i do so love entertaining foreigners. furthermore i can assure you if you entrust the [????] to house dimitrescu, my daughters and i shall deliver to you the finest cask of his slaughtered blood. heisenberg: you mean- you mean- BOTHAYOUSHUDDAFUCKUP. you mean you’ll screw around with him in private and where’s the fun in that. give him to me, and i’ll put on a show everybody can enjoy. alcina: ugh. so gauche. what do we care for bread and circuses?

can anybody help me with the word she calls ethan i’m missing?

A snippet from the latest Lackadaisy animation preview video - rough animation here by Mel Mrozek, with clean up by Kuto and background art by Frog! Scores of background pieces have been completed this past month, and lots of color and lighting is underway at the hands of the cleanup crew. It’s been really exciting seeing it start to take shape like this. And there’s more….

The full video is here on YouTube!

Her Zahra in Critical Role does sound similar to Alcina. If it is her, I’ll be very happy.

Is that VA thing confirmed?

So, I did a thing

This is how this whole thing started. I have two friends (W and J) and we chat online constantly about random things, including various characters we write and rp for shits and giggle when we’re bored. In February, W started the whole snowball rolling. The following is the text and description of what happened:

W: Oh can i change the subject for one second? Watched the new trailer for Resident Evil 8, and I suddenly had this feeling of “my character is slightly in love with this lady and knows she should NOT be" *shows photo of one the daughters*

Me: And Barbara (my classy, classy character) does not want that thing inside her home

W: My character can't even argue for once

J: Barbara’s already in the game anyway

W: The really tall lady everyone's in love with? XD

J: The hat is very Barbara XD

W: yes!

J: *shows two images of Alcina; the still for her profile picture and the gif where Ethan’s pinned like a butterfly on the wall and she’s smiling and turning away*

W: I fucking ADORE the logic of this games "nemisis" type character being her. it's so different, but she's ACTUALLY really creepy. So it works.

Me: *Please keep in mind these are the first images I’ve seen of this character and I have NO references to go off of AT ALL, so my brain goes for what it knows and starts analyzing the outfit she’s wearing. I’m a theatre major with a love for Edith Head. My brain naturally defaults to costumes at times of “what the fuck am I looking at?”* Okay, so........ the cleavage/bustline does not match in those two images.

W: XD maybe its an angle thing

Me: it's not. The slope is different

W: oh my gosh the most evil bio-weapon of all time. BREAST REDUCTION GAS!

Me: *actually watches the trailer, so I at least have some idea of what the hell is going on* oh hey, J’s in it too. He's older, but it's him.

W: HA!

Me: Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I can't figure out if her body changes in size/shape/height or if video game developers really have NO idea how vintage period clothing works on the body. *I’ve seen this happen, it annoys me*

J: I mean it IS also a surreal horror game

W: Its Resident Evil. if it doesn't turn out she's a 12 foot ball of limbs eyes and mouths pretending to be a person that'll be the greatest plot twist of all time.

J: Mhm XD

Me: Yes, but.... the dress isn't laying right in the first trailer *watches the gameplay preview* Ohhhhhhh, okay, I see it now. Yep, game developer don't know how to code in pleats correctly

W: XD XD why didn't they hire you

Me: God, that is a weird looking gown that looks to be trying for all sorts of time periods. Yes, this would be me if I'm confronted by this twelve foot tall woman. ”WHAT TIME PERIOD ARE YOU GOING FOR, WOMAN?! DID YOU LITERALLY JUST GRAB THE DRAPES OFF THE WINDOW AND SAY 'THAT'LL DO'?"

W: X’D it'd work too. She seems like she has the pride to try and defend herself…. until the moment she just pulls your head off when she runs out of comebacks.

Me: Worth it. ”AND YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE RIPPING OFF BERNADETTE FROM THE DEATH VIGIL COMIC!"

W: XD THAT they'd respond to. Also is it bad i expected you to follow up "yes this would be me if I'm confronted by this twelve foot tall woman" with? Is that just me? XD

Me: Nope that's fine. And if me promising better clothes keep me from being killed? I'm all for it.

And now that I’ve better understood her dress, her character, her height, and other things? The result is this: https://the-dimitrescu-seamstress.tumblr.com/

Because someone has to be scaling that mountain and custom draping that woman.

(Please note, it’s a work in progress that I will clean up once I’m off work tonight)

Do not feel bad, my dear. I’m the sort who has always had a thing for villains. I was a theatre major in college that focused on costume design, so I’ve always preferred the looks on the bad guys, plus their backstories and lore have always intrigued me. I’ve cosplayed more villains than heroes (I don’t have the mannerisms for being a hero, my friends do them better, and, if I’m to be completely honest, any time I’ve dress as a hero, I’ve actually gotten injured).

One of my favorite characters to wear, and actually got approval from her creator when I met him, was featured in two Marvel shows (a Fox movie and a MCU tv show). I was devastated to find out what they did to her in the movie (basically using the character in name only) and her television appearance was no better. Her creator actually asked me my opinion and I told him the truth, that I disliked it immensely. He nodded and agreed, stating he wasn’t even asked for input. So, I’ve ignore those two instances as different timelines or alternate universes, because she honestly written better in the comics.

My pointless tangent of a story aside, I’ll repeat what I said in another post: treat her like Dracula. Outside the original novel, Dracula always comes back. That is the one thing about villains in the horror genre. They ALWAYS comes back. Jason, Freddy, the Mummy, even Chucky. They get oh so many sequels. And who is to say that Alcina and her daughters aren’t any different?

The girls, we know, can turn into insect swarms. What if one insect, or a few, from each of them escaped? Could they not ‘respawn’? I would say that even if the entirety of the Dimitrescu castle fell on Alcina, she would still claw her way free just out of pure spite because she is that strong and terrifying. Horror villains always manage to come back. All they need is time.

I look forward to watching the gameplays (I am poor and have no consoles) and pointing out how they can escape or fake death.

I know that in regards to the game, it's not gonna end well. Like, we all knew you were gonna have to kill them all.

But it makes me sad. Like, I know I've got multiple exterior factors already making me even more sad, but still.

A part of me doesn't even want to see how it goes in the game. That I just want to go to the extremes of 'ignorance is bliss' and not acknowledge a thing Capcom says that fucks over headcanons or is just generally depressing.

[questionablespider]

Why does it make me happy that she aerated the blood in the end to get a better taste?

MA'AM😳😳😳
