I love how LavenderTownes videos are a mix of “I just wanted her to seem really calm and cute” and “This is me painting with coffee using a strand of my hair” all told in a soothing voice
I love how diverse lavender's characters are. It kills me (in a good way) to see representation that isn't just done for clout, like how she gave dreamcore top surgery scars. She didn't make a big deal out of it, or try like explaining that the character is trans, they just are. And it doesn't matter that they are. Thanks, a very happy transmasc
ikrr, i mean i think it was supposed to at least allude to a mouth but it also very much felt like top surgery scars and i feel like that works with the aesthetic
I'm SOOO happy that you brought up the "dark" part of dark academia. I've noticed that a lot of dark academia art and Pinterest boards romanticize the insanity, like it's noble for the character to be suffering for their craft. I actually have a character that is heavily based on dark academia and I made sure that their vices (bad sleep schedule, drinking, asocialness, obsession with their studies, etc) was seen in a bad light and the point of their arc is to get AWAY from those coping mechanisms. PS: I would die/kill for Minimalism.
They should all have some kind of literature club. Minimalist looks like a reader, Dark academia obviously reads and looks like someone who’d enjoy poetry, Lovecore would definitely write love poems and letters, and dreamcore can research for them on their little computer.
There are also plenty of dreamcore/weirdcore books and movies, poetry too. The proto example being, of course, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Those aspects can get lost in pop culture adaptations but the Alice books are so dreamcore.
ooooh dude there's so much weirdcore/dreamcore movies, books etc. I don't watch that type of stuff much, but some examples could be Wes Anderson's movies, stop motion movies, the movie "House"--- anddd I just realised I don't know any weirdcore books... if anybody here has any reccomendations feel free to share! >
The inclusion in your designs is so nice! POC, vitiligo, LGBTQ+, and those personal, normal, human aspects aren't the focus like I've seen some from some artists outside of the specified communities. It makes me smile every time I see one of these "If ___ Were People" videos, since there's always so much inclusion!
this video now makes me want to ship minimalist x lovecore. like lovecore would write letters for her and thats how they would communicate and like minimalist would have lovecore help her communicate, I also think they would make playlists for eachother!!
Minimalism keeps their letters simple, “hi, love you.” Whereas Lovecore writes entire poems and essays for Minimalism, Minimalism hangs them up to read in passing, and they’re the only “extreme” things in their home. They both love each other equally :]
i didn’t expect the phrase “prefers his friendships homoerotic and his romances tragic” to fit SO WELL with dark academia but the more i think about it the more perfect it seems
@@1hawa It literally means same-sex attraction but it also means "gay undertones", in this case a homoerotic friendship would be a friendship with the hint of the two guys or girls being in love or longing for the other based on their gazes and behaviors.
I recently discovered CrowCore, which finally put a name to my actual, real-life existence, and I love it so much. It's very maximalist, with an emphasis on sparkly things, dark nature, and comfy clothes. If you ever do another video like this, with more aesthetics, I would live to see it included. ^-^
I kinda want to read a comic with these characters interacting, like i love their unique styles and i think it would be funny (as a family kind of dynamic or best friends).
I feel like the regular academia aethestic embodies the joy and wonder of learning, while dark academia embodies the other side of the coin. I'm thinking frightening discoveries, sleepless nights over finding out the truth, neglecting your own safety and health in pursuit of knowledge
I feel like there’s also a messy element to it - scattered papers and staying up working on something frantically, where organizing tools like cute schedules are part of the standard academia aesthetic
Nah I just think of dark academia as very calm, comfy setting where you’re reading books while drinking coffee or tea in a library that is dimly lit from the evening sunset, listening to dramatic ballet music or something, all sophisticated… almost like a Sherlock Holmes vibe too! meanwhile light academia is ballerinas, afternoons, cookies and tea in your beautiful fancy library with shiny shelves and sophistication
A summary of my understanding of these aesthetics Minimalism: Ikea core. (this was said in the video but its the best way to describe it) Lovecore: If those little valentine’s day heart candies with the message on them were also a magical girl. Dark academia: Dark dusty libraries with an excessive amount of caffeine. Weirdcore: Windows XP background now with added eyes and cryptic messaging.
10:15 I've always thought this trend of adding "core" to the end of any word and calling it an aesthetic was dumb, but after hearing it from this persepctive I've realized... it doesn't matter what I think! Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I have the right to judge anyone. If it makes you happy or helps you in some way, you go for it and don't let anyone tell you to stop. As always, great video Lavendertowne! You're character designs are very clever!
This isn't entirely related to the video, but recently I've noticed that lavandartowne's ocs have become more diverse, which in my opinion, makes her art a bit more interesting and it's something I love to see.
Exactly not only are you getting different art and design styles, but you are also getting different skin tones, sexualities, back story, hair styles etc. it’s lovely to see
I’d pay to watch a show where all of these characters interact. Like if they lived together they would have to figure out how to consolidate all of their different aesthetics, and would argue if they feel one aesthetic was taking over lol. And just sweet little things like making sure Minimalism has her headphones when she goes out, them taking care of Dark Academia when he’s sick or hurt, stocking the fridge and cabinets with heart-shaped cakes and candies for Lovecore, DA and Dreamcore bonding over their collections of weird and slightly unsettling shit. Idk whenever people make stuff like this I just automatically get these thoughts
I’ll make that. But in watt pad and then I will animate it (there will be no ships unless the characters are created by myself bc I don’t want to confirm any sexuality or whatever lol)
Yes that would be the best thing ever but i don't think it would ever happen (T - T) (but maybe if someone or maybe myself cause i would love to make characters inspired by this aesthetician then it may exist in a few years or so )
I didn't know weird core was a thing and now I love it. How you described it is exactly me as well. I've had chronic nightmares my entire life and I'm an adult now still dealing with them. It's weird but you start to feel sort of attracted to that in your waking life. It's why I'm also very interested in horror, specifically psychedelic horror.
reading the comments is so nice. ive always felt alone in my chronic nightmares so this is making me smile :) even if i wish nobody had to have this problem
@@cloudbrooks You are never alone. I know it is so so hard to find people that experience this. If you have facebook there is a nightmare disorder support group!
The inclusiveness of these made my heart so happy! Like.... I was squealing over the fact that the Dreamcore design had top-surgery scars!!! It just.... makes me happy to see the subtle inclusion there 💙💗💟💗💙
right 🥺✨ the dreamcore character is giving like genderqueer/genderf*ck vibes to me and i love that for them its also so cool that she makes characters with vitiligo. its so fun and i dont see a lot of artists do that tbh
@@artistmouse99 I remember seeing a tiktok of a person who transitioned and had to lie about their scars because they were at a lake in the southern states. So these strangers he met at the lake thought they were crazy weight loss scars Lmao
someone else noticed!! I thought it was cool too 🏳️⚧️ also kinda fitting, cuz as an enby I can't deny that my gender goal is to look like a biblically accurate angel
Also i NEED the whimsigothic aesthetic if you do this video again!! It's basically witchy, natural, esoteric and laid back, with a big enfasis on the gothic aspect (Gothic as in Victorian novels and the Gothic Years in the middle ages, not the goth subculture). This aesthetic would look so cute in your style!!
Fun fact: there was a language named gothic and it was the last east Germanic language that survived (became extinct 18 century tho) but we know most Gothic runes
I've been hanging around weird/surrealist aesthetic communities for a while (about 10 years I don't think they were called e.g "weird core" "liminal spaces" yet) but I've always made art (and even tried to find avant guard clothes that matched: it was hard to find trippy geometric patterns on clothes like checker patterns at the time) and hung around blogs with those aesthetics or cores. It feels kind surreal to see them go somewhat mainstream now.
it's so cool to see how diverse & flexible your art can be, from minimalism rupi kaur-vibes to dark academia anime bad boy. watching you draw inspires me greatly (:
oh my GOD!! I am SO obsessed with Weirdcore/Dreamcore and I cannot emphasize how absolutely AMAZING your character is!! Love to see someone else who likes those aesthetics!!
What I feel like you could've added to love core would be rose tinted glasses in a literal sense It would match the aesthetic of love core, and give her some lore The rose tinted glassed could show how she only sees love's good side The sweet, the kind, the caring side of love, while completely ignoring the ugly, sickening, and destructive side of love. Like you said, she refuses to watch a breakup scene in movies/shows because she doesn't want to acknowledge that side of "love", not believing that love could end, or people falling out of love
Dreamcore and weirdcore have always been interesting to me. It's creepy but somewhat familiar. I love when weirdcore characters have different heads or multiple arms, teeth, mouths, and eyes. I just find it fascinating. Amazing video and the characters represent their aesthetics really well.
My favorites here are Minimalism and Dreamcore (Dreamcore makes sense for me but Minimalism is ironic because I despise that aesthetic, seeing a minimalistic living space/kitchen/etc makes me feel very violent for some reason)
"Prefers his friendships homoerotic and his romances tragic" struck me dead where I stood, I laughed SO hard Also, I hope you draw the Dreamcore character again, they're SO cool??!!
Everything about this is great. This was hilarious and the art is so good. Painting with coffee was so unexpected and so fun. Lol at homoerotic friendship. Lovecore is a sapphic for sure I, like I can see her cupping her face and squeaking anytime two girls kiss
I’ve been waiting for this one! Lovecore is so underrated! I think her name would be Valentina, or Amora, (meaning love) or Rose (flower of love)! Or even Juliet, for obvious reasons. So cute!
I love her approach to this set of character designs, she experimented with her style and how she drew each character based on how she imagined them ; t’s really interesting. Beautiful art and vid as always:D
If you do this type of video again, do you think you could draw Goblincore, CottageGore, or Fairy Grunge? They are more niche but they are very fun aesthetics!! Plus it would be very interesting to see how you try to interpret them. Loved the video and the designs!!
I just want to say, you have influenced my art so much and have helped me a great deal. i get a smile on my face whenever I see you have posted. I hope you have a great day ^^
I have no idea why, but minimalist core is giving me like chills and creepy vibes like I don’t know why it’s giving me anxiety. It feels like it’s another stage of the back rooms or something like that like I don’t so like the core.☹️
Each of these characters feel like the different ends of the autism spectrum in the best way ::) Lovecore is wlw hyperfem autism with a special interest in cute and pink things Dark academia is weird kid in back of class but slightly burned out autistic Minimalism is a nonverbal autistic with a routine and likes what most people would call “bland” comfort foods but they just like their routine and what makes them happy Weirdcore is the adhd autism combo (I see myself the most in minimalism and in weirdcore bc I have adhd and autism and I am also nonverbal and high support) I’m not saying this is the only right way to interpret characters, this is just my interpretation as an autistic person
Dreamcore and weirdcore are like my favorite aesthetics ever and it makes me really sad that a lot of people don’t know or care about it, so seeing that you know and also enjoy the aesthetic and made this super cool character makes me so happy!!! Wonderful video!!!😭💜💜💜✨✨
OMG YOU DID WEIRDCOREEEEE!!! It is my absolute favourite of all time! And yk, I also have nightmares almost every night, and I totally understand what you mean about it helping you in a way! LOVE this vid !
As a lover of weird/dream core, there is a story behind wierd/dream core, it was only recogniced as its own aethetic in 2017, it actually began in the early internet, the first wierd/dream core game was "dream emulator"(or something like that) it came out in 1990.
I love aesthetics a lot!! Some people see it as shallow, but there’s something very satisfying about putting together a collage of images that invoke a certain feeling that’s hard to describe
you always take your character design above and beyond what’s the obvious expectation. it would be easy if you just made these characters dress in the style of these aesthetics but you really made them the PERSONIFICATION of the visuals and i love that.
I love these series so much! You always just make my day when ever you post❤ you are so talented, and have been my inspiration to drawing and painting!
I love how LavenderTownes videos are a mix of “I just wanted her to seem really calm and cute” and “This is me painting with coffee using a strand of my hair” all told in a soothing voice

Don't forget the chronic illness

Everything about this is great. This was hilarious and the art is so good. Painting with coffee was so unexpected and so fun. Lol at homoerotic friendship. Lovecore is a sapphic for sure I, like I can see her cupping her face and squeaking anytime two girls kiss
I’ve been waiting for this one! Lovecore is so underrated! I think her name would be Valentina, or Amora, (meaning love) or Rose (flower of love)! Or even Juliet, for obvious reasons. So cute!
OMG yes lovecore is my favourite aesthetic!
How abt Juliet Rose Amora?
@@sanaxox I didn’t think of giving her a full name! How creative! Love it!
I love her approach to this set of character designs, she experimented with her style and how she drew each character based on how she imagined them ; t’s really interesting. Beautiful art and vid as always:D
4:27 I think I'm in love...
If you do this type of video again, do you think you could draw Goblincore, CottageGore, or Fairy Grunge?
They are more niche but they are very fun aesthetics!! Plus it would be very interesting to see how you try to interpret them.
Loved the video and the designs!!
1:03 the minimalism character flipping off the viewers would’ve been really funny if she had kept it
I just want to say, you have influenced my art so much and have helped me a great deal. i get a smile on my face whenever I see you have posted. I hope you have a great day ^^
Oh, and as soon as you announced your book was available for pre-order, I hopped on amazon ☺
0:57 off with their heads
I have no idea why, but minimalist core is giving me like chills and creepy vibes like I don’t know why it’s giving me anxiety. It feels like it’s another stage of the back rooms or something like that like I don’t so like the core.☹️
Each of these characters feel like the different ends of the autism spectrum in the best way ::)
Lovecore is wlw hyperfem autism with a special interest in cute and pink things
Dark academia is weird kid in back of class but slightly burned out autistic
Minimalism is a nonverbal autistic with a routine and likes what most people would call “bland” comfort foods but they just like their routine and what makes them happy
Weirdcore is the adhd autism combo
(I see myself the most in minimalism and in weirdcore bc I have adhd and autism and I am also nonverbal and high support)
I’m not saying this is the only right way to interpret characters, this is just my interpretation as an autistic person
minimalism girl is actually so adorable i would die for her
Dreamcore and weirdcore are like my favorite aesthetics ever and it makes me really sad that a lot of people don’t know or care about it, so seeing that you know and also enjoy the aesthetic and made this super cool character makes me so happy!!! Wonderful video!!!😭💜💜💜✨✨
AWW I LOVE THIS CONCEPT IT IS SO CREATIVE!!
And glad you are liking your new OCs!!
Minimalism is so cute and unique!
5:21 “prefers his friendships homo-erotic and his romances tragic” 💀
me
also me
The Lovecore looks like a combination of Spinel and Harley Quinn lmao
BTW, can you do a Vaporwave character inspired by Mcdonalds ?
OMG YOU DID WEIRDCOREEEEE!!! It is my absolute favourite of all time! And yk, I also have nightmares almost every night, and I totally understand what you mean about it helping you in a way! LOVE this vid !
As a lover of weird/dream core, there is a story behind wierd/dream core, it was only recogniced as its own aethetic in 2017, it actually began in the early internet, the first wierd/dream core game was "dream emulator"(or something like that) it came out in 1990.
I love The Dark Academia aesthetic, thank you for including it! Although I don’t read any Dark Academia books, I just read fantasy books
I love aesthetics a lot!! Some people see it as shallow, but there’s something very satisfying about putting together a collage of images that invoke a certain feeling that’s hard to describe
yeah
i love the note while you were talking of "i wonder if they see us sharpening our guillotines" haha
8:27 mitsuri jumpscare 😱
Minimalism is definitely my favourite! ❤️ She’s just so cute and simple
Aesthetics are so unique in each one so this could get so interesting :))
I love this so much! Seeing how much you like weirdcore makes me think you'd do amazing with Old Web core!! :D
I am so happy that weirdcore/dreamcore made it in here!
This is so cool! I love your art so much i literally adore your artstyle
The minimalist looks like a character in a stylized webcomic…..I love her
(Also don’t think I didn’t hear that Decretum at 2:04)
DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM DECRETUM
Omygosh the Dreamcore one's description is PRICELESS lol they are my favourite!
“Cause he’s also, of course, afflicted with madness, but ✨ aEsThEtIcAlLy ✨” got me dying 😂
If you decide to do a part two, please do Danish Pastel and Angelcore! Those are my favorite 😍 ❤️
10:07 if these are top surgery scars I'm gonna scream from happiness
i swear youre the only other person whos noticed
@@allique__ I NOTICED TOOOOOO IM SO HAPPYYYY
@@TheVshanmug YIPPEE
ohh I didn't think about that but it makes so much sense
@@everyonelicksthesamerocks IKKKKK
0:26 wild midna sighting
I am so glad you don't get those nightmares anymore!! All of your art is great!!
PLEEEEEEEEEASE MAKE THIS ONE A SERIES! I'd LOVE to see more aesthetics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The minimalistic character really reminds me of a sky children of the light character
NEVER HAVE I EVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE LAVENDER DRAW WEIRDCORE AAAAA
Love core and minimalism was a favorite because I LOVED the Love core hairstyle you gave her and minimalism was simple and her design was adorable..
“Prefers his friendships homoerotic and his romances tragic”
I CANT- 😭
I'd love to see a part 2, this was really cool and I love the designs
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Please do more aesthetics! They look so good!
you always take your character design above and beyond what’s the obvious expectation. it would be easy if you just made these characters dress in the style of these aesthetics but you really made them the PERSONIFICATION of the visuals and i love that.
I love these series so much!
You always just make my day when ever you post❤
you are so talented, and have been my inspiration to drawing and painting!
