One Dress a Day Challenge

Anything Goes December

Dune / Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica Atreides

I originally wanted to include this dress in the month of blue, but it's hard to find pictures of it because it appears onscreen so briefly. And when I did find a picture of the dress on display, I was fascinated to see that the actual garment is silver! I guess it looks blue on screen due to heavy color filtering.

I think this is another great example of costume as worldbuilding. The thin, floaty fabric and delicate ornamentation suggest a leisured lifestyle and a temperate climate.

working on the saera commission got me thinking abt the ways westerosi fashion might shift over time so I sketched out some concepts... these aren’t particularly historically or regionally accurate and more a combo of things I like to draw and trying to maintain a semi coherent look.

I like the idea of the targaryen fashions being semi nebulous as far as gender presentation and shifting over time toward distinct gender roles as they integrate with westerosi society, until the looks are entirely distinct at the end of their reign. ik that typically fashions would change a lot more significantly over the span of 200+ years, but given that the starks have been holding the north for like 100 million years I think it’s safe to say progress is slow in westeros. i’ve never liked the idea of the 7 kingdoms having distinct fashions after the conquest bc I think it ignores the role imperialism plays in dictating culture, so in my mind these are general guideline silhouettes for the entire realm (although climate would influence fabric types/ layering).

Maegor was so much of a feminist that he didn’t have a biological father because he wanted to give his mommy 100% of the credit. Maegor loved gay people so much that he married three of them. Maegor named the first female heir in Westeros history and then bequeathed her his weapon of mass destruction after he passed. Maegor literally died trying to destroy reactionary patriarchal religious fundamentalism. And what brought him back? The power of women. Maegor feminist Maegor socialist Maegor reads Judith Butler.

Somewhere, very far off, is a place called District 12, where my mother and sister and friends will have to deal with the fallout from this night. Just a brief hovercraft ride away is an arena where, tomorrow, Peeta and I and the other tributes will face our own form of punishment. But even if all of us meet terrible ends, something happened on that stage tonight that can't be undone. We victors staged our own uprising, and maybe, just maybe, the Capitol won't be able to contain this one.

[liesandarbor]

Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don’t expect it because I don’t think of District 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prim’s place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.

All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted Apologies from the intercom And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy They'll think of me kindly When they come for my things

Sansa as the fair Jonquil, Jeyne as Jonquil's sister, Theon as the Grey King, Rickon as a direwolf, Robb as King Daeron the Young Dragon, Bran as Ser Barristan the Bold, Arya as Nymeria of the Rhoyne, Jon as the ghost of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight.

When the spirit stepped out of the open tomb, pale white and moaning for blood, Sansa ran shrieking for the stairs, and Bran wrapped himself around Robb’s leg, sobbing. Arya stood her ground and gave the spirit a punch. It was only Jon, covered with flour. “You stupid,” she told him, “you scared the baby!” but Jon and Robb just laughed and laughed, and pretty soon Bran and Arya were laughing too.

The sun was gone, and the sky was full of stars. So many. She leaned her back against a fluted pillar and wondered if her brother was looking at the same stars tonight, wherever he might be. Do you see the white one, Quentyn? That is Nymeria's star, burning bright, and that milky band behind her, those are ten thousand ships. She burned as bright as any man, and so shall I. You will not rob me of my birthright!

Lyra Belacqua & her daemon, Pantalaimon. The idea for the daemons was partly inspired in Philip Pullman by Leonardo Da Vinci’s peculiar portrait, Lady with Ermine. As always, thanks to Girls Gone Canon (best literary analysis podcast out there!) for getting me to read HDM :) What a beautiful series of books. More to come!
