the short, choppy haircut on the guillotine girl is actually perfect, cause during the french rev it was standard practice when sending someone to the national razor to cut off as much hair as possible as quickly as possible right before execution so it wouldn't interfere with the blade - which, morbidly enough, actually became a popular hairstyle referred to as "coiffure à la victime" (hairstyle like the victims')
@ i don’t know about that, but from what i understand because of the societal shift towards democratic values, ancient rome became cool again and with that so did ancient roman haircuts. so the shortly cropped look became a popular style, as well as a way for the people of france to distance themselves from the gaudy and elaborate powdered wigs of the second estate! it was a popular look for both men and women though, so unfortunately i couldn’t say when it became a gendered thing :[
I love how during the Reign of Terror they literally referred to the guillotine as “Madame Guillotine” as if it were a person. I think it would be fun if she had no real name, just “Madame Guillotine” in homage.
Guillotine: Marie Anne (self explanatory) Aqua Tofana: Isolde (ice cold, untouchable) Pyre: Alev (flame, brightness, Light) Bog bodies: Boglarka (little bog)
Really cute names! Since they’re all assassins, I wanna give them aliases - Anne: National Razor (kind of self-explanatory too), Robin Hood, or Metallic Angel Isolde: Lady Nightshade (because of one of the main ingredients of the poison) Alev: Phoenix (half because mystical Firebird, other half because people are enchanted by her) Boglarka: Bronze Siren (Referring to the cuffs) or Boogeyman (because she seems to just follow you wherever you go)
Geneviève for the guillotine girl, there was a saint in Paris named Geneviève, plus the name kinda fits her, the name also means ‘fair one’, which makes sense for her acting out of what she thought was ‘justice’
7:23 I absolutely love the detail of the broken heart in the clothes. It’s such a good nod to that this was to end terrible marriages. I absolutely loved your designs and I learned something new today with this video so that’s a double bonus for me!
Right like on top of awesome designs I'm actually learning new things like I always thought the guillotine was made to be a crueller way of killing someone but apparently it was supposed to be less cruel😨
3:18 I think a good name for the Aqua Tofana girl would be Juliet. It's similar to Juliana, and it's connected to not just romance, but deadly romance. If my source is correct, Romeo dies by poison, thinking that Juliet is dead, only for Juliet to wake up and find him dead. I don't think any other name could be more fitting.
Fun fact: The bog punishment was a very brutal one (duh and idk if this was mentioned on that part) because the moss and other components didn’t fully kill you, it was used because nothing in the bog would be able to set your soul free from you body, so your body would be slowly decaying and mummifying while you are still aware and awake. Also a bog body would have a change of hair and skin because of the other components of the bog!
Amazing designs as always, and love learning the history! Guillotine: Clementine (French name meaning "mild" and "merciful") Aqua Tofana: Carlotta (Italian name meaning “free woman” or “petite”) Stake: Daniela (Christian name meaning “God is my judge”) Bog Bodies: Thistle (A thorny plant & symbol of resilience, strength)
Holy shit that's what I should name my cat thistle oh my God, thank you. Kind stranger. Now I won't have another mixup like when I named my dog ataxia and then all of my neighbors didn't want to talk to me for like a week
Just like drawing itself, creativity is also a skill that needs to be practiced and polished. You could be this creative, you just have to be willing to put in the work!
Other terrible methods of death include the Brazen Bull, the Rack, drawing and quartering, being covered in honey and bugs on a boat (forgot the name), and the London Tower had its share of horrors.
The bug boat thing would be 'scaphism'. As far as deaths go, getting locked between a set of wooden boxes then left to *literally* rot in your own filth while bugs eat into you is a hell of a way to go. 💀
11:54 I'm not an anthropologist/archaeologist, my specialty is not hominids, but I am a paleontologist so I know preservation. Peat bogs are a wild combination of factors leading to their effectiveness in preservation. Many different bogs around the world will preserve things, but some better than others (not all will preserve soft tissues, or only certain kinds of tissues for example) depending on their conditions, location, and type. There are three main factors that make bogs natural mummifiers: pH, oxygen, and temperature. As the old peat decomposes it produces acids that drop the pH of the water, making it similar to that of vinegar, which results in the bogs essentially pickling organic material in them. If you've ever pickled vegetables, you know this can make them last a very very long time, similar concept. Secondly, the bogs are a highly hypoxic to anoxic environment, meaning they have very little to no oxygen, due to lack of drainage and the decomposing peat. There are microbes that do not require oxygen, but the ones responsible for decomposition do (this is part of how algal blooms become a problem), without any excess oxygen the bugs can't do their work. And lastly, temperature, many bogs are very cold which acts to slow microbial activity. Again, think about putting milk and eggs in the fridge so they last longer, less bacterial activity. The main ways soft tissue of animals survives long term are: anoxia, desiccation (drying out), freezing, acidity, permineralization, rapid burial, and amber encapsulation. Bogs have 2-3 all in one! Bogs preservation is basically like putting something in a pickling jar with no oxygen and then putting it in the fridge. Very safe. Kinda gross, but about as safe from natural decomposition processes as something can be naturally.
I think a cool idea for your drawing ___ as people series would be drawings common idioms as people. Like the phrase "plenty of fish in the sea" could be something like a person made of fish. I love your videos ❤
I think it's a unique idea. However, because idioms are metaphorical, I don't know how much room for creativity there is... It'd be an interesting challenge. Example: "walking on eggshells" Would it just be someone literally walking on eggshells? Hmmmmm... I'm sure there's a way to use this concept, and my mind thinks too literally about these things
Name ideas: Gullotine: Marie, obvious reason due to the French Revolution & Marie Antoinette Aqua Tofana: Belladonna, a possible poison in the concoction as well as meaning “Beautiful lady” Stake: Joan, St. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake after being found out to be a woman in France’s military Bog Bodies: Shenandoah, this is a river in North America that was traversed by many settlers in the 19th Century. There is also a song about the river, which is really beautiful!
I have a name suggestion that might be kinda basic but I think that the aqua tofana one should be called; Bella D’Angelo (Bella for the poison’s ingredients and D’Angelo (meaning angel)as a Italian last name also as how she’ll make you ‘go to heaven’. I think it also works as a sweet unexpecting name related to how often the poison was used very often without the victims knowledge.
contrary to popular belief, being burned at the stake was more rare than people say! they'd usually throw the "witch" into water, and if she drowned, she was innocent, and if she survived, she would be burned. still, the stake was an execution method that *was* used lmao, the drowning method was jst more common as far as i'm aware edit: these are notes i’ve collected reading the replies btw feel free to correct me if this info is wrong!! (credit to @vegetable_warmth !!) ↓ burning at the stake was fairly rare, like i said before, much less common than most people would think/say, which is becoming more common information as far as i’ve seen. the stake takes a lot of resources, and honestly, “witches” weren't really “important” enough to be burned. the drowning method was also rarer than i made it seem in my original comment. usually the “witch” would be stoned, hanged, tortured (to death), banished, etc. you're meant to fish the “witch” out of the lake before she dies, otherwise it's murder. (in most documented cases, history is weird, it's bound to be used a different way *somewhere* 🤷♀️) one of the only actual cases of “witches” being burned at the stake was in scotland, in the early modern period, which was also very rare.

Her surname (not that it matters) could probably still be Guillotin, since the execution tool was named after someone’s surname. Not sure why you would name a method of killing someone after a person, doesn’t seem like the sort of thing someone would want to be associated with like that.
For the guillotine person, I recommend naming her Trista. It’s a French name that means “sorrowful sword” and it plays on the fact that the guillotine is French and that it brings sorrow. The second girl I recommend naming Era. It is a play on “erode” I made myself (erode-ero-era) and it also is a reference to past times that no longer are needed. And for the “burning-at-the-stake” girl, I recommend Cinder. Finally, I recommend Nea for the last girl. It’s short for Neanderthal, since a lot of bog bodies are Neanderthals. Great art as always, keep it up :D
Guillotine: Josephine (feminine version of the creator's first name) Aqua Tofana: Cersei (name of a witch from Greek mythology) Pyre: Seraphina (relates to fire but also the angels) Bog bodies: Petra (like petrified)
Hey, nice names! Though, I really don't want to come off as disrespectful or "be that person", but the Greek witch goddess is called Circe, not Cersei. Cersei is a fictional character from Game of Thrones. I understand how they are similar in a way.
most assians/ killers have titles so instead of names like everyone else i'm doing titles :D guillotine: blade of the people aqua tofana: matchbreaker (you know like a matchmaker get it?) pyre: the false holy flame bog bodies: everlasting gift of the bog
Absolutely love this. I bet that poison girl would know the poison gang from that other episode. I have a suggestion: Medical Tools through out the ages as people?
i feel like juliet would be a fitting name for the aqua tofana girl - it has connections both to julia, as in julia tofana, and of course, it has associations with romance ending in tragedy, which goes neatly with the theme of marriage and the tragedy the women faced at the hands of their husbands, as well as the demise of their “romeo”. side note; thank you for using the name i suggested in the last video! it feels so cool to be seen by longtime my favorite youtuber.
12:06 HI! I’m a archaeology major and I have some fun facts about why bog bodies are so well preserved. The lack of oxygen helps preserve the body, along with high levels of acid like you said!
Guillotine: Marie Aqua Tofana: Isaree (thai name meaning freedom, also ice cold reference) Pyre: Kennina (Scottish name meaning fire born) Bog Bodies: Rattlin (reference to a Celtic folk song called the Rattlin' Bog)
I love how your drawings are so cute and slightly scary at the same time I am obsessed with diseases, plagues, poisons, executions, witches, illnesses etc Your channel literally feels like a gift from the heavens or something
I think the bog girl should just be named "Bog", although most give her nicknames like Bogy cause they think it sounds better alternatively, "Myra", if you don't like the sound of Bog, it translates to "the bog" from my language, so I still get my way :P
Guillotine: Genevieve (I saw another comment with this) Aqua tofana: Francesca (Meaning free in Italian like how they would free themselves from their husbands. Also the woman who made it was Italian) Stake: Calida (meaning heated or fiery) Bog bodies: Azaliyah (meaning azalea flower and everlasting kinda how the bodies preserved)
This would make an awesome anime, were the characters are assassins in an organization, and they use the execution methods they were based on, or something similar
I love learning about all the historical research you do! I’ve never been one to enjoy listening to my school teachers lectures but the way you tie facts with mystery and art is so entertaining
Bro, I love how soft and calm you talk about the evilest or full of gore and death related things. You’re the only person I would listen to talking about this kind of stuff, other than rottenmango. You and rotten mango are the top 2 informational RUclipsrs😭♥️
Idk if you have already named them yet but regardless i have a few ideas too, First the guillotine girl should be named madame guillotine as someone earlier said as it references the nickname for the guillotine which was that Next for the invisible poison, the widow or something like winona? Something that has elements from the whole silent intentionally poinsonings of the spouses Next the burn at the stake girl, pyra? Yknow like the word pyro for fire and as it has been used a decent bit as a name for people already next the bog girl...maybe...cryosthia? Coming from cryo for the act of preserving a body in cold, stasis, the slowing of things like in the body an stuff, and anasthesia the process of being put to sleep before a operation, Just some thoughts, regardless tho nice video as always these are always fun to watch
The bog girl reminded me of a Bog Preserved Sheep image i saw awhile back that show half of the animal submerged and the other half exposed to the air and the difference in the two halves was a morbidly interesting difference
For the first girl I feel Genesis would be a perfect name for her FYI: I LOVE HER ART STYLE, Inspires me to keep drawing and to be creative thanks Lavender✨✨
Aqua Tofana: Beldam (the romanian spirit that protects forests from humans. It reminds me of Beladona, one of it's contents) or Inodora (called "Nora" by others who don't know her nature), (means a chemic without any smell).
YESS MORE CHARACTERS BASED ON THINGS (I absolutely love hearing about whatever she’s turning into characters while watching her drawing, it’s my favourite kind of video from her ❤)
you could name the guillotine assassin "Gigi Guillotine" because Gigi works works the word guillotine. also, I love how you explained the execution types and gave a lot of information about them.
UGH! I cant WAIT for the day Haley comes out with a comic or show with a horror/thriller/slahser theme, whether it is horror itself or not! The way she builds her horror themed chatacters is just so amazing and the story that she creates around them is just so good! I could not just eat this up, but lap it up, no devour it, NO- INHALE IT! for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack in between
HECK YEAH THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTENT I COME TO LAVENDERTOWNE FOR /lh I do love all your videos but like, the personified poisons and plagues ones are some of my favorites so this is right up my alley
Sorry im late but I have quite a few name suggestions Guillotine: - Lunette (part of a guillotine) -Severette/Severin (from sever) -The Red Widow/La Veuve Rouge (another name used for a guillotine) -Marie Antoinette (Self-explanatory though I do feel this one is kinda boring and not necessarily the best one to choose) Aqua Tofana: (not many for this one) -Juila or Tofana (self-explanatory) -Aqualin, Aqualina, or any other name-sounding variation of aqua (self-explanatory) Pyre (just gonna list a bunch of names that mean fire or burning or something like that) -Seraphina, Aithne, Ember, Calida, Hestia, Abellona, Fiamma, Apollo, Eliane, etc. (personally I like all the ones that come from religion and whatnot because it is ironic and can possibly show that aspect of it more?) Bog Bodies: (again could only really think of 2) -Mosley or Rusk (both mean bog) Ty to anyone who reads this. And if you did, please let me know if you liked my ideas!
Name ideas Guillotine-Millie after the silent mill or max (after Maximilien Robespierre who led the French rev) Aqua Tofana- Paloma (similar to where it originated Palermo Sicily) Pire- Ashley (like ash) or Sutton (after soot) or ember (after embers) Bog- Fenway or fenn(English name meaning through the fen/marsh) English name due to many being found in the uk and Ireland
I think doing some flowers and plants would be super cool (finding some is hard because many plants are soo pretty!!!) but you can pick some favorites or rare or poisonous plants or you can ask us!! (Also I'm so happy I've been waiting for a new video and you did not disappoint) ♡♡♡
I know that the topic of the video is kind of disturbing and scary, the soft voice and the speed paints calm me down. I wat h these videos for comfort lol😂
I think it's only right that guillotine's name is Marianne! I saw somebody suggest the same thing, but connecting it to Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn, but Marianne is also the name of France's allegorical personification (like the US has Columbia, the brits have Britannia, Germany's Germania, etc)! Her most famous depiction is in Eugene Delacroix's "Liberty leading the people" (Marianne and "Liberty" often being one in the same). Can't think of any better name for this bloody vigilante :)
We love beautiful art and a history lesson! The aqua tofana part was particularly fascinating, I’ve never heard of that before. Love that you made them all assassins with different methods & personalities
Guillotine: Anne-Marie (Anne bolyn and Marie Antoinette) Aqua Tofana: Liberty (freeing the women from their husband) Pyre: Grace/Mercy (both Religious words and actual names lol) Bog Bodies: for some reason I cant get my mind off her being called something like fern but I couldnt tell you why
AAAH THE DONT LOSE YOUR HEAD FROM SIX THE MUSICAL!!!!(in the guillotine character part) I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A FANBOY TO ACTUALLY SEE IF ITS A RELATION BUT OMGGGGGGG!!!!! also Gila for Gilloutine, (pronounced G-E-la)
I'm Danish and have lived right next to the national museum my whole life and bog bodies are one of the most incredible relics of both nature and culture I've ever seen. I still visit the Egtved Girl and her neighbour, an approx. 18 year old Girl who was buried with gold hoops on her ears very often. The way you personified the mummification and referenced bog Bodies in this vid was incredible!!💕
Aqua Tofana is a lovely bit of history that I'm committing to memory, because I can't _not_ see that coming up in a story or tabletop eventually. Thank you very much~
Love all these designs, especially all the lil details and applications from your research! Can't pick a favorite, but Guillotine's features instantly intrigued, and "Bog Bodies" surprised me with how well it all came together when the colors came in.
Love this video and the creative inspiration! I always enjoy watching your character design videos - hearing your thought process behind each design choice, and then seeing them come together so well. I do love all your videos though! Thank you for sharing them. 🥰

correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the French Revolution where the gender norm for men to have short hair came from?

This is the new name for the Guillotine
totally my vote
Low key she cooked with guillotine
Nice! Idea!💡
Guillotine: Marie Anne (self explanatory)
Aqua Tofana: Isolde (ice cold, untouchable)
Pyre: Alev (flame, brightness, Light)
Bog bodies: Boglarka (little bog)
Really cute names!
Since they’re all assassins, I wanna give them aliases -
Anne: National Razor (kind of self-explanatory too), Robin Hood, or Metallic Angel
Isolde: Lady Nightshade (because of one of the main ingredients of the poison)
Alev: Phoenix (half because mystical Firebird, other half because people are enchanted by her)
Boglarka: Bronze Siren (Referring to the cuffs) or Boogeyman (because she seems to just follow you wherever you go)
@ I love those!
what does Anne mean
@ "He (God) has favored me"
@ I think it’s referring to one of the most famous victims of the guillotine, Marie Antoinette
“starting with the guillotine🥰🥰🥰” I LOVE YOU
Geneviève for the guillotine girl, there was a saint in Paris named Geneviève, plus the name kinda fits her, the name also means ‘fair one’, which makes sense for her acting out of what she thought was ‘justice’
love this one!
Yes! I can totally see it!
I think fair one is referring to beauty rather than justice though
I mean, more just than kings
Gille would be a great nickname for those who can’t pronounce that

again, sorry if i got anything wrong, i was basing most of this information off of replies i got, feel free to correct me!!
among us type beat
Also in Salem, which is were most people think of when in relation to the witch trials, they were hung
@@dealtrial151 true!! forgot to mention that lmao
@@dealtrial151or stoned
Damn so you die either way-
Oh my god I didn’t even know I wanted this series😭
For the guillotine name wise I’d say Eloise! It’s French, medieval, and to me it sounds energetic!
That’s so pretty wait!
Nice! I chose Gisèlle cuz it’s also French, sounds like guillotine, and it sounds cheerful and happy with a deadly undertone…
@RidiculouslyRandomProductions✨👌💅
Her surname (not that it matters) could probably still be Guillotin, since the execution tool was named after someone’s surname. Not sure why you would name a method of killing someone after a person, doesn’t seem like the sort of thing someone would want to be associated with like that.
the guillotine didn’t exist in the middle ages, it was invented in the 18th century
13:30 lavender towne saying “among us Skibidi” WAS on my 2024 bingo card
"starting with a guillotine" 😄 omg that made me spit out my water- i was not expecting her to sound so happy XD
2:48 AHHH THE SIX REFERENCE, WE LOVE YOU LAVENDERTOWNE
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO POINT THIS OUT!! I LOVE THE SIX REFRENCE!
EXACTLY AHHSHIHSGUIGFYGH THANK YOU LAVENDERTOWNE!!!!!!!!
IKR I LOVE SIX! I saw it live in a nearby theater off broadway LIFE CHANGING!
@@ducks_ruleda_world LUCKY!!
@Daughter_of_Hades12 FELLOW PJO FAN SPOTTED!
I’m super sick rn so it’s really nice to have a calm video to watch
hope u get well soonn
I hope you feel better soon!!!
I’m very sick too twins
For the guillotine person, I recommend naming her Trista. It’s a French name that means “sorrowful sword” and it plays on the fact that the guillotine is French and that it brings sorrow.
The second girl I recommend naming Era. It is a play on “erode” I made myself (erode-ero-era) and it also is a reference to past times that no longer are needed.
And for the “burning-at-the-stake” girl, I recommend Cinder.
Finally, I recommend Nea for the last girl. It’s short for Neanderthal, since a lot of bog bodies are Neanderthals.
Great art as always, keep it up :D
Guillotine: Josephine (feminine version of the creator's first name)
Aqua Tofana: Cersei (name of a witch from Greek mythology)
Pyre: Seraphina (relates to fire but also the angels)
Bog bodies: Petra (like petrified)
Hey, nice names! Though, I really don't want to come off as disrespectful or "be that person", but the Greek witch goddess is called Circe, not Cersei. Cersei is a fictional character from Game of Thrones. I understand how they are similar in a way.
I really don't understand how she can come up with so many designs for the most random themes every time 😭😭
most assians/ killers have titles so instead of names like everyone else i'm doing titles :D
guillotine: blade of the people
aqua tofana: matchbreaker (you know like a matchmaker get it?)
pyre: the false holy flame
bog bodies: everlasting gift of the bog
Absolutely love this. I bet that poison girl would know the poison gang from that other episode.
I have a suggestion:
Medical Tools through out the ages as people?
i feel like juliet would be a fitting name for the aqua tofana girl - it has connections both to julia, as in julia tofana, and of course, it has associations with romance ending in tragedy, which goes neatly with the theme of marriage and the tragedy the women faced at the hands of their husbands, as well as the demise of their “romeo”.
side note; thank you for using the name i suggested in the last video! it feels so cool to be seen by longtime my favorite youtuber.
Woah! That’s actually pretty awesome!
12:06 HI! I’m a archaeology major and I have some fun facts about why bog bodies are so well preserved.
The lack of oxygen helps preserve the body, along with high levels of acid like you said!
Lavender: my first character will be based off a guillotine what should I name her?
My anime brain: Aura the Guillotine
i love how soothingly u talk abt such macabre stuff lol
Guillotine: Marie
Aqua Tofana: Isaree (thai name meaning freedom, also ice cold reference)
Pyre: Kennina (Scottish name meaning fire born)
Bog Bodies: Rattlin (reference to a Celtic folk song called the Rattlin' Bog)
I love how your drawings are so cute and slightly scary at the same time
I am obsessed with diseases, plagues, poisons, executions, witches, illnesses etc
Your channel literally feels like a gift from the heavens or something
I think the bog girl should just be named "Bog", although most give her nicknames like Bogy cause they think it sounds better
alternatively, "Myra", if you don't like the sound of Bog, it translates to "the bog" from my language, so I still get my way :P
Guillotine: Genevieve (I saw another comment with this)
Aqua tofana: Francesca (Meaning free in Italian like how they would free themselves from their husbands. Also the woman who made it was Italian)
Stake: Calida (meaning heated or fiery)
Bog bodies: Azaliyah (meaning azalea flower and everlasting kinda how the bodies preserved)
This would make an awesome anime, were the characters are assassins in an organization, and they use the execution methods they were based on, or something similar
My favorite thing is, lavenders soft voice talking about the most horrible, dangerous and deadliest things ❤😊
Gullotine: Zeva (meaning blade)
Aqua Tofana: Delphine (meaning poisonous dolphin)
Burned: Hestia (The Greek goddess of Fire)
Bog bodies: Ephigenie (meaning sacrifice)
What do you mean "poisonous" dolphin ? Doesn't it just mean dolphin ?
Name ideas!
Guillotine- Maurine (Means rebellious woman)
Aquatofana- Belladonna (Means poison)
The stake- Calida (Means fire)
The bog bodies- Marais (Means marsh)
I love when Ms. Lavender makes cute characters out of deadly poisons and objects
I love learning about all the historical research you do! I’ve never been one to enjoy listening to my school teachers lectures but the way you tie facts with mystery and art is so entertaining
AH YESS i'm sewing and badly needed something to listen to THANK YOU THIS IS PERFECT
Bro, I love how soft and calm you talk about the evilest or full of gore and death related things. You’re the only person I would listen to talking about this kind of stuff, other than rottenmango. You and rotten mango are the top 2 informational RUclipsrs😭♥️
Dont u just hate it when the execution is deadly...? ALSO YOURE GETTING MORE AND MORE CREATIVE EVERY DAY LOVE IT
Lol
ALSKAJAHhhHzj "Don't lose your head!" MY THEATRE KID SENSES ARE TINGLING!!
OH HELL YEAH, DARK THINGS AS CHARACTERS IS BACK BABY!!!
I love this series sooo muchhh
LESSSSS GOOOOOOO
Idk if you have already named them yet but regardless i have a few ideas too,
First the guillotine girl should be named madame guillotine as someone earlier said as it references the nickname for the guillotine which was that
Next for the invisible poison, the widow or something like winona? Something that has elements from the whole silent intentionally poinsonings of the spouses
Next the burn at the stake girl, pyra? Yknow like the word pyro for fire and as it has been used a decent bit as a name for people already
next the bog girl...maybe...cryosthia? Coming from cryo for the act of preserving a body in cold, stasis, the slowing of things like in the body an stuff, and anasthesia the process of being put to sleep before a operation,
Just some thoughts, regardless tho nice video as always these are always fun to watch
THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED YALL!
LT is true neutral she has a calming angle like voice but draws things that should not be drawn, love you girl keep going
Yay!! A new LavenderTowne vid!! :D
The bog girl reminded me of a Bog Preserved Sheep image i saw awhile back that show half of the animal submerged and the other half exposed to the air and the difference in the two halves was a morbidly interesting difference
Crazy title lmao
That isn’t funny bro
@krystalbeckerleg9432 okay "bro", idc lol
I love how the goutiness is such an anti-hero.
For the first girl I feel Genesis would be a perfect name for her
FYI: I LOVE HER ART STYLE, Inspires me to keep drawing and to be creative thanks Lavender✨✨
Aqua Tofana: Beldam (the romanian spirit that protects forests from humans. It reminds me of Beladona, one of it's contents) or Inodora (called "Nora" by others who don't know her nature), (means a chemic without any smell).
2:42 Since she’s a guillotine her name should be gilla or Gia
Mora means “star of the sea” since aqua is in the name of the poison so is mora a good name? 5:52
9:09 Alana means “fire” as well
Hestia is the goddess of sacrifices is “Hestia” a good name? 11:10
Or Tara, given how often the guillotine was used more during the Reign of Terror than the revolution itself.
Tina is also a great one :)
YESS MORE CHARACTERS BASED ON THINGS
(I absolutely love hearing about whatever she’s turning into characters while watching her drawing, it’s my favourite kind of video from her ❤)
You should do "if terrifying creatures were humans"!!
you could name the guillotine assassin "Gigi Guillotine" because Gigi works works the word guillotine. also, I love how you explained the execution types and gave a lot of information about them.
THIS IS SUCH A BANGER
UGH! I cant WAIT for the day Haley comes out with a comic or show with a horror/thriller/slahser theme, whether it is horror itself or not! The way she builds her horror themed chatacters is just so amazing and the story that she creates around them is just so good! I could not just eat this up, but lap it up, no devour it, NO- INHALE IT! for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack in between
1:28 now thats some atsushi type s💀
BSD FAN?? (0 Д0)!!
@ YES OFC😍
FELLOW BSD FAN
BSD FAN SPOTTED?!
Bsd mentioned
HECK YEAH THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTENT I COME TO LAVENDERTOWNE FOR
/lh I do love all your videos but like, the personified poisons and plagues ones are some of my favorites so this is right up my alley
Something like Gillette would be interesting name for the guillotiné character
I just love when Lavendertowne makes things meant to kill people INTO people. Wonderfuo
Wake up the queen has posted
Love watching a vid featuring a soft-voiced woman while drawing cute little characters while also explaining historical executions to me
Sorry im late but I have quite a few name suggestions
Guillotine:
- Lunette (part of a guillotine)
-Severette/Severin (from sever)
-The Red Widow/La Veuve Rouge (another name used for a guillotine)
-Marie Antoinette (Self-explanatory though I do feel this one is kinda boring and not necessarily the best one to choose)
Aqua Tofana: (not many for this one)
-Juila or Tofana (self-explanatory)
-Aqualin, Aqualina, or any other name-sounding variation of aqua (self-explanatory)
Pyre (just gonna list a bunch of names that mean fire or burning or something like that)
-Seraphina, Aithne, Ember, Calida, Hestia, Abellona, Fiamma, Apollo, Eliane, etc. (personally I like all the ones that come from religion and whatnot because it is ironic and can possibly show that aspect of it more?)
Bog Bodies: (again could only really think of 2)
-Mosley or Rusk (both mean bog)
Ty to anyone who reads this. And if you did, please let me know if you liked my ideas!
do mental illnesses as people next,u seem like the type of person to know lots about it
Gullitone girl should be Anne/Annamarie after decapitated queens
I’m honestly surprised you didn’t do a blood eagle character. A character with rib wings sounds awesome, that and the method is horrifying.
Name ideas
Guillotine-Millie after the silent mill or max (after Maximilien Robespierre who led the French rev)
Aqua Tofana- Paloma (similar to where it originated Palermo Sicily)
Pire- Ashley (like ash) or Sutton (after soot) or ember (after embers)
Bog- Fenway or fenn(English name meaning through the fen/marsh) English name due to many being found in the uk and Ireland
I’d love for you to continue this series!! These were such cool designs
Guillotine looks like a Victoria, no reason behind that. But can you do more deadly flowers/plants as humans? I rlly enjoyed those.
I think doing some flowers and plants would be super cool (finding some is hard because many plants are soo pretty!!!) but you can pick some favorites or rare or poisonous plants or you can ask us!! (Also I'm so happy I've been waiting for a new video and you did not disappoint) ♡♡♡
9:57 bog bodies, and rabbitology fans here??
YES!!
RIGHT HERE!
YES THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING OFF
HERE!!
I know that the topic of the video is kind of disturbing and scary, the soft voice and the speed paints calm me down. I wat h these videos for comfort lol😂
I think it's only right that guillotine's name is Marianne! I saw somebody suggest the same thing, but connecting it to Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn, but Marianne is also the name of France's allegorical personification (like the US has Columbia, the brits have Britannia, Germany's Germania, etc)! Her most famous depiction is in Eugene Delacroix's "Liberty leading the people" (Marianne and "Liberty" often being one in the same). Can't think of any better name for this bloody vigilante :)
We love beautiful art and a history lesson! The aqua tofana part was particularly fascinating, I’ve never heard of that before. Love that you made them all assassins with different methods & personalities
Guillotine: Anne-Marie (Anne bolyn and Marie Antoinette)
Aqua Tofana: Liberty (freeing the women from their husband)
Pyre: Grace/Mercy (both Religious words and actual names lol)
Bog Bodies: for some reason I cant get my mind off her being called something like fern but I couldnt tell you why
AAAH THE DONT LOSE YOUR HEAD FROM SIX THE MUSICAL!!!!(in the guillotine character part) I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A FANBOY TO ACTUALLY SEE IF ITS A RELATION BUT OMGGGGGGG!!!!!
also Gila for Gilloutine, (pronounced G-E-la)
I'm Danish and have lived right next to the national museum my whole life and bog bodies are one of the most incredible relics of both nature and culture I've ever seen. I still visit the Egtved Girl and her neighbour, an approx. 18 year old Girl who was buried with gold hoops on her ears very often. The way you personified the mummification and referenced bog Bodies in this vid was incredible!!💕
9:35 her name should be Agni, which means fire. :)
No pyro or ignus means fire
I love that the Guillotine character has a French hood, it feels like an homage to Anne Boleyn
How are you so fast at making such amazing videos 😭❤️❤️❤️
Aqua Tofana is a lovely bit of history that I'm committing to memory, because I can't _not_ see that coming up in a story or tabletop eventually. Thank you very much~
9:30 Ginger or Fira would be cool
Ember could work too!
@ yeah:D
Love all these designs, especially all the lil details and applications from your research! Can't pick a favorite, but Guillotine's features instantly intrigued, and "Bog Bodies" surprised me with how well it all came together when the colors came in.
Pyra for burnt at the stake
Bella for auqatofana (did I spell that right?)
And Marie for guiotine
Love this video and the creative inspiration! I always enjoy watching your character design videos - hearing your thought process behind each design choice, and then seeing them come together so well. I do love all your videos though! Thank you for sharing them. 🥰
Guillotine: Paix ("peace") or Reine ("queen")
Aqua Tofana: Peonia (peony flower; symbolizes "happy marriage")
Pyre: Lucerna ("lamp/lantern")
Bog Burial: Kaia ("mother earth")
Dude aqua tofana is my favorite thing to yap about and i love seeing it mentioned!!
Name ideas!
First girl: Sabrer (French for Slash)
Second girl: Fifi
Third girl: Eldi (Icelandic for Fire)
Fourth girl: Gizli (Azerbaijani for Hidden)
