pleeeeaseee!!! what kind of fashion vibes does everyone have in the 1920s au? i reeeallly want to draw them 🥺🥺

Firstly omg if you do draw please tag me i'd love to see it.

Onto fashion (I'm only doing ones I actually have ideas for)

First off, the kinda boring ones

Legs - this man is basic. If he is just off shift then he is wearing shirts with 3/4 sleeves and a simple tie. If it's something fancier then his harpey express skin is actually a good fit, though potentially with a matching jacket for the vest. He tends to wear very sensible footwear, often a well looked after pair of black shoes, still polished to a military finish. In the clinic he wears his white robes over them.

Louis- working as a clerk he doesn't have much to spend on fashion so is also in basic shirt slacks and vest. I imagine him wearing a lot of warm colours such as reds and browns and ties to match. I also think he wears knitted vests he made himself, especially in the winter.

Pyro - When behind the bar he wears white shirt, black vest and apron to prevent his trousers being ruined by spilled drinks and to wipe his hands. He also tends to wear a bowtie over a ties and has a chain and pocketwatch in his jacket. He has a signet ring with his families crest and some silver cufflinks Scott gifted him. Outside of work he wear more casual clothes including a sheep fleece lined leather jacket.

Now onto more exciting clothes.

Apo - surprising 1920s women police uniform are very similar to he vsmp clothes. Off shift she tends to keep to wearing the skirt and just removes the jackets and hat so she doesn't get any flack for being police.

Shelby - Flapper dress, like half the reason the au was made, flapper dresses. There is a bit of a misconception on the styles, you see a lot of costumes with a lot of string, mostly black and gold, but actual flapper dresses came in quate a few colours and were mostly designed to have a boxier more adrogenouis cut with fringe details to be looser for dancing and energetic movements from jazz. She also wears a variety of headbands and matching necklaces given to her by scott including pearls and gold beads. outside of work she probably wears something a bit more relaxed, probably a variety of knitted cardigans with various skirts.

Scott - honestly this man is wearing big and flashy, on that note, raccon fur coats or just a variety of puffy fur coats in general. and cause he's extra he's not wearing it properly instead draping it like a cloak. He is full suit with matching pocket square and tie. He also has gold everything, gold pocketwatch and chaing, gold cuffs, gold collar pin and tie pins, all with a variety of blood red gem stones. He also wears a variety of rings, including a signet ring with a bat, on both hands.

Drift - I think drifts vsmp clothes once again work quite well. 1920 women had just left ww1 were many had started wearing trousers in the workplace as women moved into more labour jobs such a manufactoring, and this carries over to daily wear. I see her as a person who likes the mobility trousers give so unless she is going undercover tends to wear them. she also probably wears some 'mens' clothes when she can. I think she sticks to the tweed/browns asthetic

anyway, if people have suggestions for the others or alternatives to these let me know. I'd love to hear them

(TW for fire and maybe eyestrain??)

"They took him from me, Legs. While I was asleep. They took him, and they burned him at the stake."

tumblr made it low quality but that's okay ig.

The lyrics on the side are from My Way of Life by Frank Sinatra!! Which is because this was inspired by an animatic: watch it here

Now I AM AWARE that Louis should technically be burnt to a crisp but I hadn't drawn him yet and wanted to have a chance to :D

The background is from (I think?) Owen's episode 6 or 7 (im not making the joke I swear that is the genuine estimate)

I ALSO MADE THESSSSEEE:

hehehehehehehhehe

ALSO EXPECT THE FLIGHT FANART SOON OML I FINSIHED AVID'S FIRST STREAM AND I STARTED THE SECOND

The more I think about Legs and Louis in OGDaLD the funnier it is to me. Like Owen hates this guy but Louis is smitten, always inviting him over for tea or to go hunting with them. Like Owen is happy Louis is having fun but does it have to be this guy. He is fine with Louis dating others but really, the guy who looks like a chew toy and goes on hour long rants about chloroform and other medical shit.

Louis thinks the man is sweet and enjoys his fumbling. He's enjoying watching this man make a bit of a fool of himself being kinda oblivious of all the supernatural shit around him despite being supernatural himself. He wishes legs took better care of himself and was likely the one who encouraged the man to talk to Pearl a bit about the werewolf stuff instead of chaining himself in the basement or dipping to some remote valley every month. He also thinks Owens jealousy is cute and a bit funny, his man's like a pissed off cat, puffing up to try and look big and threatening to the 40yr old man. Sure honey, you are very threatening. (Legs is slightly threatened though)

Legs took forever to realise Louis was trying to court him, mostly cause he's like why is this guy who's in some kind of relationship with his quote on quote friend and quite a bit younger than being nice to me. By the time he realises they have been on like 3 dates. He does care for Louis a lot and is the reason Louis starts spending more time at the local inn after introducing him to his drinking buddies pearl and Cleo. If things didn't end the way they did he might have even endeared himself to Owen. Maybe Owen could have loved him as well.

But they didn't and I'm a little evil for that (⁠ʘ⁠ᴗ⁠ʘ⁠✿⁠)

omg I just read all of your speakeasy au and I love it so much! Thought I'd drop an ask with a couple of questions about it!

What do you think are some of the worst customer-service/customer interactions moments Owen has had? We all know this wet cat of a man cannot play nice with customers he decides he dislikes lol

What do you think Abolish's role in this au might be/anyone else you've wanted to talk about but haven't got the chance yet.

Literally any thoughts/ideas/headcanons about Owen, Legs, and/or Louis (as well as any of the militia bands) you have ^-^ I love your posts about them!

Hope you have a great day, and thank you for the absolute gift that is this au!

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. As for your questions:

1. If he decides he doesn't like someone, but there is no reason he can find to kick them out, you bet they're getting served last. Doesn't matter what time they got to the bar, people who arrive after them will get served first, he'll even go do odd jobs like cleaning glasses if it means they have to wait longer. Pyro will happily join the wagon of avoiding someone if Owen decides and he just thought Owen had them covered, they aren't avoiding them deliberately they promise. Owen will also under pour if people are annoying him or trying to flirt to get more liquor, he has a boyfriend thanks.

2. I haven't fully decided on what Abolish does. I know he's in some shady secretive stuff and often is seen talking to people no one has seen before and will never see again. He has a deal with Scott that allows him to use one of the private rooms for his meetings and he even has a personal emergency stash in the club. In return he promises not to bring any messy work into the club and sometimes gives Scott heads up on the going ons of the underground. Outside that he will sometimes play piano when Shelby sings and is actually one of the few people Owen has never gotten pissy with.

3. Owen first met Legs after a fight had broken out in the club and someone had clubbed him over the head with a bottle causing a nasty cut. Abolish gave Louis the address of a doctor who runs a clinic for injuries that people don't want questioned or reported to police and Louis dragged Owen there. Legs treated him and in return for putting up with Owens displeasure of medical personnel, Louis offered to buy him a drink if he ever came by the club. They ended up becoming close friends over their shared interest in philosophy, much to Owens annoyance, though all three also enjoy cards which they can be found playing after closing some nights.

Patron's of the speakeasy

(more 1920s au)

Dr Victor Legundo started his career as a stretcher bearer in the great war, pulling men through the horrors of no man land to try and get them to safety. After being medically discharged due to a shrapnel injury to the face he continued his medical training in the us before moving to the city to work as a surgeon in the hospital. While generally regarded as a pleasant man to be around, often being friendly and good humoured (even if that humour is a bit dark) he is known to use drink as a to drown out his mind. He's mostly a sad drunk or sleepy drunk but he is currently banned from a collection of dives for being a very short tempered and slightly violent drunk. He also runs a private home clinic with no questions asked policy, leaving him to be on friendly terms with quite a few of the big shots in town. Physically he is still quite a strong man though his injuries mean he uses a cane and is partially blind in one eye. Due to also being slightly hard of hearing he can be easily startled by those who approach from the wrong side, something Owen learned when they first met.

Louis Levett is a clerk at the mayor's office. He's generally a sweet man who can often be found at the bar chatting to Owen. Too and not with because Owen often looks a bit strucken that the man is talking with him. While Owen thinks Louis hung the stars the truth is Louis knows to much of the coming and going of the criminal underworld and is one of the wheels in the machine himself. Mostly though he is trying to get by as a trans man in society. He is often the one to help Owen carry Legs home when he's had too much.

Private Detective Inez Drift (commonly referred to by her last name Drift) is seen as a bit of an oddity in her field. Mostly for the fact she focused on missing cases and murders compared to shoplifting that other female private detectives tend focused on. Her relationship with the local police is shaky at best so most her work is from private clients not consulting. After all some clients want to know the truth without the bulls finding out. She often wears trousers and suits that are more convenient to her active life, despite the scrutiny this brings. I'm here off time she enjoys jazz and swing music and can be found at the local clubs, though she's started coming to a particular more often for a certain singer.
