iPad kids I caaaaaan’t 💀

This is such a great video! Practical Magic has been my favorite movie since it was released in 1998 (I was 14 so it was verrrrry formative) and I’ve loved The Craft since it was released as well. The 90’s was such a great time for witch content and I loved how you highlighted whimsygoth in that era (and I agree The Craft has the best witch fashion everrrrr).

loved everything about this video, i feel like you have the perfect sense of humour for me and anyone else whose brain was impacted in some way by 7 seasons of pretty little liars!

Really interesting article. Boston witches here, our members portray lots of witch styles, vampire goth, fey witch, even Lolita fashion witch, we get our inspiration from many places. Its far more welcoming and acceptable now to be a witch, and as dancers, we entertain and promote body confidence, and mental health well being and positivity. so its lovely to see a channel like this doing a great video that helps and inspired people on witch clothing. Thank you!

why the fuck all white cast wouldnt be good. were all people, just stop doing what has been already done.

We don’t care for the arts anymore. Post 2016 has over saturated entertainment to the point the value is gone. Back then we had one centralized system and place to watch the movie. Today we have several. I don’t watch shows because they are hiding behind paywall on some apps

came for the outfits, stayed for the carefully curated tier list names ... She knows her PLL lore 👀🫶🏽

Interesting takes, some of which I agree with but as a whole, I'm not sure that I buy this whole argument. Perhaps it is the want-to-be filmmaker in me, but I do not think that an argument should be proposed against the creation of art in fear of potential cultural interpretations and such. I do think that an adaptation would be difficult and would have to be executed quite thoughtfully as much of the nuance and beauty of the novel come from Tartt's prose itself, but I absolutely do not think that it cannot and should not be done. I think that to reject any potential adaptation because of the world we live in today, or how the shortcomings of the Goldfinch is narrow-minded. Yeah, if Hollywood mishandled the content, it would be disappointing, but I do not doubt that there are creative minds out there that could create something new out of The Secret History and handle all the subjects in an interesting way. After all, even if it was a failure or whatever, while disappointing, it doesn't detract from the original novel.

Something that I remember from back when Twilight came out (I was in middle school) was that, the most influential character for the fashion of the time was actually Alice Cullen. Alice’s fashion expressed what quintessential high, street-fashion was of the time. Everybody was dressing a little bit to emulate her. Her haircut was the most influential part of her look- everybody was getting the “ragdoll” haircut and flat ironing it to make the ends stick out a bit, like Alice’s hair. I even had the haircut. I’d love to see a video about Alice’s looks ranked!

Me: A witch, a fashionista, a nudist when at home: 😮

I Love the softness of scarves! Thank you for sharing your thoughts💛🧚‍♂️

I was a teen during the golden era of this show (2010s) and all of the girls in my class LOVED the outfits, like they were the epitome of fashion of those days. Hannah was the tredy it-girl, Aria was the alternative cool girl (I idolized her so much and loved all her outfits), Spencer was the preppy rich girl and Emily was the sporty jock girl. They were the fashon gods in my school that’s for sure. So fashion-wise for the era it’s actually on point.

It's not cool in my family but universally yes, a lot more acceptable.

just a quick tip for your videos, i study film in my freetime and i think that zour videos could look much more profesional if you made the head space smaller not hating just a friendly tip

I loved this so much :)

I'd love nothing more than a director who truly loves the book and would be willing to use the source material to make a mini series. I wouldn't care for A listers or well known actors, just actors who can act (I know a tough ask) and match the characters. It has crazy good potential if the correct people work on it.

wow

In my head, Bunny IS Leo Woodall. I can’t picture anyone else, haha

You made me lol at the Wendy williams “what was that?james?” At the shoes 😂

😂

This video healed something in me, twilight is just so comforting😭

some of this aesthetic reminds me a little of grunge and indie 2010s tumblr.

arias outfits ate

Greetings from germany

why don't you post anymore? 😢

I know i'm late but the coat is a normal Carhartt coat and there's a lot of them you can get easily!

Arias earrings were just 😂😂😂

Your fit looks so cute on you! ❤

I had 2 weird henley tops with kangaroo pockets and hoods in middle school. Yes I would have with them to meet my boyfriend's parents. They were certainly a choice but I thought they were cool at the time. I have no regrets.

I’ll never understand why Topshop didn’t survive when some other shops. As a millennial it was my favourite by far

2:34 this will forever be my fav outfit on the show it’s so cute

me nodding agreeably at every point

This made me laugh so hard, I’m so happy I found this video 😄🙏

What other Donna Tartt book do you recommend?

I had forgotten all about Hanna's season 2 black dress--it slAys so bad! I'd wear it tomorrow!

Thank you for this video! Fashion is one of my top highlights/aesthetics importance & enjoyment I get when watching films💜

I have watched my countless hours of PPLcontent. You are the first one to mention that they lived in Eastern PA, and there was never winter, never snow, never cold weather on that show.

EYE would never be in forks so why would ANY english person be in forks 😭

please do the hunger games

Lost boys is one more movie that deserves a spot in this video. Lost boys and queen of the damned actually have similar 80s punk /alt fashion vibes.

Quality video. Very well-researched. Instant subscribe!

hi! i'm so late to this video, but do you mind linking the articles you mention around minute 4 if you still have them around?? i can't find them myself (I'm a fashion student planning to make a collection surrounding this concept and want to read everything I can lol)

Interesting video. You did miss a few steps, though; Dracula went through a whole series of costumes in the 50s-70s with the amazing Christopher Lee, where Dracula had a more Edwardian look. Nosferatu made a return with Klaus Kinski in 1979, & even Lestat got a makeover in the 2002 film Queen of the Damned; where he is a leather-clad rocker. There's also the 1987 film The Lost Boys, where the gang has a very rebellious & dishevelled look. As for Twilight, the Volturi clan dress VERY differently to the Cullens & might even be described as Corporate Goth. Vampire fashion is a delicious subject!

Donna Tartt is beyond iconic; she’s out here existing in the world like she DIDN’T write a book that defined a genre and that everyone who has ever written a dark academic novel ISN’T trying to emulate it ?????? I adore her ❤ 🙏

unfortunately I think the beginning of a movie would have to be romanticized because that's part of the way the story itself functions. As the story leads you towards the night of the murder, so much of Richards view of his friends is portrayed in this idealized drifty gaussian blur. he's looking at their moneyed privilege lives spent pursuing this 'noble' ideal of knowledge and hes so desperate to be part of that life. he has so much self loathing for his middle class identity. its only with the cold water of Bunny's death that he starts to see just how rotten and twisted their disconnection from regular life has made them. You have to romanticize those hazy days at the country house and dinners with the twins because the point of the story is how much Richard is viewing them through his own desire to be them, and then you need to take that and poison it, make it horrific. But inevitably, as you're saying, what we'd actually end up with is a bunch of fancams of new tumblr sexyman Henry or people in shipping wars over Francis/Charles/Richard. it would be a disaster.

Not you saying I need to clean my room… ur right but like still the audacity 🤣🫶

I don't think it would work as an adaptation anymore solely because it's now a cult classic, and that means people are going to bitch and complain about inaccuracies regardless of how well done the movie/series is. Look at the recent Percy Jackson show. It's a pretty good series and adaptation, but because it's such well beloved book for nearly two decades, the fanbase reacted rather negatively to it and it's changes. The story will always be more enigmatic in people imaginations, especially ones that have been allowed to run wild for so long. TSH is already a story which requires great care to adapt, and the fact that so much of the draw of the book is in it's atmospheric writing, means that it's nearly impossible to do a medium to medium adaptation in a way that retains it's original magic. Richard as a character is rather subdued and quiet, more analytic and observational that participatory. It makes him a great narrator, but in a movie, with no access to his internal monologue he just becomes this quiet mysterious attractive kid, rather than the deceptively simple man we're presented with in the book. The Hunger Games prequel movie/book(Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) runs into a similar issue due the erasure of it's mc's internal monologue. Snow starts to come off as sympathetic and genuine in his efforts because we don't see his internal thoughts that clearly show how manipulative he is about his actions and how they come off. It's one thing in BOSAS and PJO, with their more blatant and simplistic/digestible themes and action thriller premise, but with a story like Secret History, which is much more character driven, and one which requires you as a reader to actively critically engage with it, a mistaken understanding can lead to wildly inaccurate interpretation of the central themes of the book. It's going to Lolita itself and honestly, I'd rather not.

personally i think that the secret history was nothing else then a slightly romanticized (by the author or the reader, not by the story itself) critique. it sorts of reflects the reader, who can choose which route to take in their interpretation. for me, it was a fascinating story about a group of people that are absolutely horrible, and I can’t see myself like them in the same categories I like actual people. it’s like I despise them, but love the way they were written, love the way someone could write something so devastating that the fact that characters were horrid somehow made the book more interesting. I see no point in romanticizing their way of living, and I only found out it was one of the favorite books of dark academia aesthetic after I read it. while there’s nothing wrong in enjoying an aesthetic, I think it’s important to read a book critically, to see all the depth of the story. that’s why I absolutely agree it shouldn’t become a movie.

I think even ignoring the themes and the culture surrounding it, structurally it would only really work as a book. So much of the Secret History is split into small encounters: parties, dinners, conversations between the Greek class, Richard monologuing, etc. The descriptions are also highly detailed (both in the visuals and in Richard's emotions) and like to linger on seemingly innocuous details. In a book this is really compelling because it tells you all these subtle things about the world and cast, and it's more realistically structured than if it was strictly linear, since these guys are living their lives around the murder and not just deadset on it. But then I feel like as a film or miniseries this kind of structure would be extremely boring and meandering. Films have expected lengths, episodes are expected to drive the plot forward in every scene, but a book can be as long as it wants - it can afford to keep all the little details that a film would typically consider filler and cut out to focus on the actual story
