Substitute Daily Entertainment: Monday Edition!

[last_kallig]

I know it isn't quite Monday yet, but I wanted to make sure I got this up in case things got unexpectedly hectic in the morning.

Today's prompt: Pick a color or a print and tell us why it fits your character or represents them in some way. Or post a color or a print and let people GUESS the why, if you like.

Pam grew up during the late 1800s and was always fashion-conscious, so I associate her with gothic Victorian, lots of black-and-red patterns, or even black-and-pink, because she is unabashedly girly. She would wear this corset just as easily as this gown. (And she knows Eric would find it just as hot as the tight little leather-and-fishnets numbers.)

[gredya]

Oh man, the late 1800s were so ridiculously fabulous for dress fabrics.

[lazy_but_loyal]

I'm actually thinking of Bar giving her a throwback Halloween in which she gets put in a gown like that, for old times' sake.

(And Eric should get the same throwback in which he gets to be a Viking again. >_>)

[gredya]

Oh God yes.

RUGGEDLY MANFUL.

MANFULLY RUGGED.

[lazy_but_loyal]

VIKING NEEDS NO PANTS.

Though seriously, why are there no pants. I mean, not that I'm complaining or anything, but still.

[gredya]

I am slightly perturbed by the fact that I didn't even notice there were no pants. Or not many pants.

[onceaviking]

While I am totally in favor of no pants, I'm afraid that posh Viking fashion involved quite a few layers: http://natmus.dk/historisk-viden/danmark/oldtid-indtil-aar-1050/vikingetiden-800-1050/mennesket/smykker-og-toej/

Also colour and fancy woven bands.


Note the video in the section Mandetøj
A warrior getting ready for battle.

The really fancy ones wore Byzantine inspired fashion.

[onceaviking]

This guy

[lazy_but_loyal]

Dude be stylin'.

But Pam is keeping her commentary to herself.

[onceaviking]

Which is probably just as well.

I am so up for a throwback. Well go for summer so everything is thin, well worn, smooth linen.

[lazy_but_loyal]

Now I get why he likes wearing flip flops.

[onceaviking]

These days Erix wears lot black.
However, he is Viking at heart, so secretly he really likes bright colours. Clashing, bright colours. And plaid. And checkers.


... Pam probably does her best to contain those urges.

[lazy_but_loyal]

NO CHECKERS.

Also, how is she supposed to dress him in bright colors when he keeps getting blood all over them. :|

[runningred]

Black does hide the blood better...

[sunbaked_baker]

Rae approves of his love of bright colors.

She might not approve of anything else, but he gets her approval for that. :D

[onceaviking]

Ha!

[runningred]

Jay is all blacks and reds. It's a family thing.

Minx knows how good she looks in reds and holds. Mostly because they are her Victoria Secrets angel colours. (Yes, she is!)

Gods only know where David gets his blue suits from. I guess in a world of neon and bright colours, muted tones would stick out too much.

Diaval wants his feathers back, hence the black.

And Olivier love the rich colours of his homeland - deep blues and earthy reds, complex geometric patterns repeating over glazed tiles.

Answering quick like since I need to get the family moving for beach day.

Jessica: I am seeing something red, of the shade that appears black in low light, with a yellow dagger pattern. Reasons might be obvious.

Hank: Can't help but think of tweed or blue fur.

Quinlan: Smoke; hard to hit, can be deadly, but can also suggest hanging out at a campfire, or cooking at an open fire.

Brimstone: Teeth are so tied to his story it's hard to think of anything else. I'll edit later if anything occurs to me.

Ethan: Various shades of brown in cotton, wool, or hair.

Andrea: Gunmetal and daisies.

Lady Trent: Starched white linen as that is the only fabric I can imagine that would be close to dragon wings.

Bonus answer:
Tybalt: Malachite or a warm black velvet.
Selina: Black leather or the wood grain of a dance floor.

Gordon's pretty inextricably linked to orange and gray, thanks to the colors of the HEV suit; alternate options include the crowbar's shade of red, and possibly green (his eyes kinda stand out in the box art). But overall, orange and gray.

Ellen's gonna be blue and gold pretty much to the day she dies, thanks to those Vault suits.

Shephard is camo, the pattern that was in use in the United States military in early 2001, whether the blacks and grays of urban combat or a more woodland-appropriate greens-and-browns. The trolls would probably point to either Tyrian purple or a certain shade of dark blue for him, though, since his Trollian text comes out in Tyrian purple and the past few times he's been a troll for Cubefall he's bled very dark blue.

The color I associate with Stacker Pentecost is officially referred to as 'eigengrau' or intrinsic grey. It's the color that sighted people see in the absence of light. I associate it with him because it's my personal headcanon that this is what flooded the Drift when Tamsin Sevier blacked out and left him Coyote Tango's only pilot.

Santo is sparkly silver. His full wrestling name, after all, is El Santo Enmascarado De Plata.

Medic gets associated with the light blue of his gloves and the rustybrown color of dried blood.

Couldn't say for Varric; as for Edward Kenway, well, his canon is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which kinda tips the color balance somewhat.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Invincible is yellow and blue. That's the uniform that he sticks with, even when there are two Invincibles (it's complicated).

[hey35andholding]

Clementine loves hot pinks. She's a child of the 70s and 80s, man.

Dixie I associate with blacks and reds, though she wears lighter colors outside of her occupation.

Juliet wears a lot of pinks and grays.

Eponine wears a lot of browns and blacks, and I also associate those colors with her.

Pinkie I associate blue with. A lot.

[alexiscartwheel]

I am making it A GAME. A game of guess which of my character this pattern belongs to.

(Your choices are Lady Mary, Carol, and Stiles, btw.)

[last_kallig]

Is it Stiles?

[whatisastiles]

Yes!

[last_kallig]

Whohoo! I never guess these things right.

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut has worn quite a few costumes and the only thing that has remained her is her red hair (or in one case, at least, her red chitin). Her last costume as Keli Raven has become really iconic, and is royal purple and gold.

There is a picture Yasmin AbdEl Aziz wearing a really pretty purple dress that maybe I should turn into an icon, but she is wearing a huge straw sunhat and idk. Maybe I will turn it into an Amascut icon some day.

Fairy Fixit is light brown and light green, I think.

[chanter1944]

I'm a day late, but I'll answer anyway. :D?

Starfleet reds are obvious for Sariel, but I tend to associate her with bright, friendly floral yellow, leaf greens, sometimes coral pink, and definitely lavender.
