Irina - Tumblr Posts
a lil follow up doodle to the drawing i did last week
i love them
This is such a lovely chapter and such a lovely and heartbreaking scene
My favorite chapter😭😭😭
At last, I found it somewhere to buy.
Lord Hilmes x Irena forever 😭
Feels very heartwarming to go and look for what the Japanese fans thought of the latest chapter and see multiple people now hoping for / theorising about a happy ending for Hilmes and Irina in Maryam, and two of them even mentioned Zandeh as well!
EEEEE SHES SO PRETTY!! Your au is so awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Oiran!AU Irina
The dragon on her uchikake (the outer robe— made of silk, and thicker than the other layers of her kimono) was chosen very intentionally
Also me not coloring in her skin was very intentional. Oiran back in the day (and Geisha today— though the professions are very different) painted their skin pure white using rice powder. The face and neck, at least
This is basically her theme song in this AU (even better bc SynthV Teto is my voice-claim for her)
Also made a playlist of songs I've found that are about being an Oiran— or at least about Yoshiwara (sadly only like 10 songs ; ;)
Also if anyone wants to do anything with their own OCs in this AU, please do!!!! Under the 'oiran!au' tag! ^^ def not an event— just an AU I think is fun
I'll be SO SO SO excited if anyone else wants to join in on my current brain rot lol
(If you couldn't tell, Japanese history is something of a fascination of mine)
And another fun fact for today:
The sash, or 'obi' of a kimono is basically always tied in the back. The reason Oiran wear their sash in the front isn't because it’s make it easier to disrobe— tying the sash in the front was actually fashion from the Heian period (794-1185). When Geisha were banned from participating in prostitution so as not to take customers away from the Oiran, they started tying their sash in the back as a way to set them apart from courtesans and other Yujo (general term for prostitutes). And people just started copying the fashion of Geisha!
