Not owning red eyeshadow and just smudging some lipstick sounds extremely period accurate
It’s gonna sound weird but in historical fashion, like 1700s and 1800s, rouge was used as lip color in addition to being blush
@@TheCowgirlBookworm that doesnt sound weird. they didnt have formulations back then. just chrushed up bugs and some kind of grease
@@bbear2695 so actually they kind of did. The toilet of flora is a manual for cosmetics back then, and instead of cochineal what is commonly used is some kind of vegetable dye, usually alkanet root. And animal fat was really only common in pomade, oils and shea butter were more common for rouge and lip balm. I’ve made some recipes from back then, they work great!
I literally still ducking do this lol
@@Cilibi no judgment! I watch a lot of drag queens apply makeup and they will use makeup products from one part on another part if it gives the exact pigmentation and matte/shiny ness they want.
The overly pale foundation but tanned arms and shoulders is literally me as a middle and highschool goth kid growing up in Florida and I feel seen.
Yoo me too!
Wearing mismatched foundation is a rite of passage for kids/preteens everywhere, dammit 💀
As a white person growing up Scotland, I had the opposite problem lmao. Tried to be goth, turned out tangerine.
Just put foundation on your entire body, problem solved.
@@johnr797 well make up alredy takes up a lot of time so like i don't know who would do that .
This video is art. Kristen looks like Draco. Bingus being the house elf. The work you put in. the fact you describe the outfits as historically accurate
this is like one of those historical documentaries where they get actors to do dramatic recreations of events

@@not_zippy you violently astral projected me back to 2008 for a second, thank you haha
@@hideflen6078 Dude I don't know why but this comment made me laugh out loud.
Actually, somebody who claims to be the writer or the friend Raven(can't remember lol) made a Twilight fanfic on a different account so maybe not? idk
Before Tara fell off the face of the earth, she updated her FFN profile and in it she said that she had gotten into Twilight and that she thought Edword was hot.
OBSESSED with it being referred to as "the primary text" not only for the irony but for the very serious acknowledgement that My Immortal is really truly an influential part of (alternative) culture and will likely continue to be for decades
I know right. I’m reluctant, yet I’m so apt to praise this piece. It’s so endearing, yet terrible?
Honestly I think it’s a great example of showing the importance of keeping true to your identity and not letting other people tell you what to do.
Within the story, it seems that Ebony hates the posers more than she hates out-and-out preps. Posers try to be all cool and goffik to try to curry favour with Enoby and her entourage, but she finds it deceitful. At least the preps are honest about who they are.
And then with the meta-narrative, Tara (or the character of Tara) got so many flamers but she didn’t show any signs of letting them put her off writing and she doggedly kept writing for months on end. Truly she’s filled with determination.

I know nothing about makeup she was just “this looks terrible, perfect.” And I was just sitting here thinking she looks absolutely like a girl I’d have a crush on in middle school
Right? Her eye makeup is what 14 yo me was shooting for (while hitting... well, whatever you'd call a look achieved using an eyeliner pencil that's as blunt as possible without losing the ability to leave a mark and then finger smudged)
i'm 21 and what she calls terrible is the kind of makeup i wish i could do now, are you kidding me?
I think it's good makeup, but that kind is sort of considered outdated now ig
@@gm6393 I think also it was supposed to be smudgy and grungy but she usually does such clean and perfect liner that it ended up accidentally more perfect than intended.
"girl i'd have a crush on in middle school", well damn, I've got a crush on her -now-. I doubt the purpose of the original fic was to make me gayer but... it's happening lmao.
I cannot believe you actually told the Starbucks barista your name was Ebony. I will die not knowing what the barista's reaction was and that truly upsets me.

I realise fact-checking My Immortal is utter foolishness, but Hot Topic doesn't have branches in England.
I'm not convinced My Immortal even *is* set in England.
If she's in her 7th year of Hogwarts, I bet she can just apparate to an American mall if she leaves school grounds.
@@abigaillilac1370 But her outfits don't appear to follow the school dress code.
@@Quirderph Bursting into class naked is probably also against dress code. Ebony is a QUEEN who does not give a fuck.
There is no such thing as sticking to reality in the world of poorly written fanfiction classics.
There is something about this video that has a distinctly Jenna Marbles-esque chaotic energy to it and I’m loving it

this looks like something my 14-year-old self would sell her soul to wear
My present 19 year old self would also sell her soul to wear this
My present 26 year old would also sell my soul to wear this
My inner 14 year old and current day 19 year old are both screaming tbh
I'm almost 30 and I think Teya is a total badass. I probably couldn't pull off any of these looks, but she's pretty damn talented.
I mean hey, my 29 year old self thinks these looks are still styling. I never did really let go of the whole goth/emo/visual kei look, even if I can't pull it off.
I love how ebony's constantly described as a goth but then every single band she mentions is the most 2007 emo thing you've ever heard. 10/10 quality reading
most of us didn't know the difference back in the day. I personally still don't
@@jasonwalker4003 most people still dont since none of the bands mentioned are even emo, you could Maybe throw 1 or 2 into emocore but certainly not emo
@@jasonwalker4003 Goth is a music subculture that stems from the postpunk movement in the 80s, and the genres are mainly gothic rock, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, ethereal, and a few others in that vein. If I listed all the genres we'd be here for a while.
I am a goth. It's rlly just a bunch of nerds who like 80s music and older people from the original movement but I'd say it's pretty chill. Kinda sad most people don't really know much about it outside of stereotypes, it would be nice to see some new faces.
I've had a lot of trouble finding an actual list of the genres that fit into emocore anywhere, but I know it's very different and tend to have a much more aggressive sound and vocal style compared to goth (not that that's a bad thing, I can vibe w/ emos. It's like cake and ice cream, they're both good, you can certainly like both, they're just not the same thing).
@@KittenCritters It would be really helpful if you could elaborate on that ^^
16 years have passed since the beginning of this fanfic and people still think being goth is either wearing black and listening to mcr or just wearing black lol
Wish more people knew about the subculture before they slap the goth label in their instagram post.
at the ripe age of 20 years old, i've found the strength to dress the way 13 year old me always wanted cause i was also repressed from my overprotective mother ;; its so fun being the mall goth i have always wanted to be. you're never too old ♡
Same! I'm 25 and just getting start dressing how I want and I know it definitely isnt fashionable, but I'm having fun !
19 here, learning to sew because casually wearing skirts isn't really a thing in my area, but now I have some money, and therefore, the power to look like a freaking disney princess if I want to.
I don't know if my mom would have said anything, but I didn't at all have the courage to actually get clothes I liked growing up. It was just the same hoodies and plain t-shirts and I didn't like how I looked at all.
These days everyone keeps telling me I look like Robert Smith and I am living for it. That shit isn't an insult.
I didn't start actually dressing in a way that made me happy until I was like 25, came out as nonbinary, and realized I just wanted to dress like Ms Frizzle every single day.
I feel so seen! I aspired to be emo when I was a kid but never had the guts to go for it, so I just wore jeans, hoodies, and tshirts everyday, then had a phase of trying to look popular, then back to jeans and tshirts. Now I'm 21, know how to dress for my body type, and am just living my best life.
Seeing Strange Aeons without her glasses made me realize how no one could tell Clark Kent was really Superman
It took me a while to watch the video bc the first few times I glanced at the thumbnail, I did not recognize StrangeAeons
they dont know that his real name is strange aeons
I think it was the no eyeliner that made me confused ngl
for fucking REAL though
@@emp6591 and she still got glasses in that one
It is so fucking weird seeing people without glasses when you’ve only ever seen them with glasses. It’s like you shape shifted into another person before you even did the makeup lol.
You could say it was... Strange
I wear contacts half the time and glasses half the time. It's always funny when I start a new job or a new class and having people be like, "Uh... have you always worn glasses?" or "I swear I remember you wore glasses...?". It's kinda hilarious how much it becomes a part of someone's face.
It's so fucking weird to ourselves too
I'm the type of guy who only wears glasses when he goes outside. I don't need them indoors, but outside I feel like I'm half blind, and it's always funny to have people come by my place, only for them to get kinda weirded out seeing me without glasses.
For a moment I experienced the Perry the Platypud meme.

talking about the 'Internet Historian version of My Immortal' is our equivalent medieval scholars talking about different versions of the Bible
yeah, revised and abridged a little, and with even some chapters removed
strange is really doing community service for all of us who were middle school emo children, but who were too shy/insecure/young/had strict parents to wear the style

I love how Ebony goes to school in England, but shops at Hot Topic which... we don't have over here! 10/10 research skills.
I think it's for the whole "Hogwarts is in England" thing, which... I think it's meant to be Scotland? Not sure Hogwarts has Hot Topic branches or Good Charlotte gigs in fairness.
She could've bought them from their website
we only have afflecks palace
If you ever thought My Immortal had any kind of research then that is on you tbh lmao.
That's just another thing wrong with this dumpster fire.
I mean. Late 80s-Early 90s school year. All Very 00s bands and references.
Clearly Ebony time travels and continent hops.
Also with band merch that doesn’t exist, maybe Ebony was doing the punk thing and DIYing her own band merch?

With how unhinged this channel is, I'm not surprised that she went out in public in full Ebony Darkness Dementia Ravenway cosplay, but I just can't get over 22:28 because it implies she somehow worked up the nerve to tell a barista that her name is Ebony Darkness Dementia Ravenway. And then later on she literally just commits vandalism. Fuck dude I wish I was this confident
'i don't have any boobs, but I am an artist, and a historian ' I'm putting that on business cards
I always interpreted the "corset thingy" as criss-cross ribons
That aside, this is such a FANTASY
same hahaha
yeah i would assume she meant lacing that looks like a corset but doesnt actual function as a corset I've got a two fancy dresses like that from formal events i went to and the lacing is nice because your a little less beholden to the tailoring of the dress and can loosen or tighten the laces as necessary to get it to fit better
when she said it originally i ensivioned boning
I am thoroughly enjoying the fact that you're too good at makeup to make it look bad. You and Draco are THE power couple. Also...I hate and love that some of these outfits are kinda cute.
Most alternative fashion doesn't really go out of style
She ATE these looks. It's rude how cute they turned out.
And Draco? Omg. (fans self 😓)

okay but why are these outfits overall really cute. they sound so absurd on paper but seeing them on an actual person makes them look something i'd 100% wear
exactly! Love the one with the mcr shirt
I’m so late to this but when she says “corset stuff” she may be trying to describe the dress having boning in the waist to give more definition, She’s not the greatest at communicating by a long shot but that’s what I imagined when I heard that phrase
I also thought that, I know a fair few Goth women, definitely a likely possibility.
I thought the red corset stuff was red lacing type details on the bodice.
You know that scene in Batman returns where Michelle Pfeiffer is tearing apart her apartment and old life to create her Catwoman suit in a manic rush? That, but with Strange Aeons face pasted over hers and a glorious my immortal outfit at the end of it. Don't forget the neon Hello There smashed to now read Hell Here.

@@yourfavwonch It was all I could think of, and if I didn't already have editing work to do, I might have made it. I can just see it and hear the music in my head though.
Just a tip: if you're ever looking to dye plastic hair, mix acrylic paint with water, leave it, wash out, blow dry. Works very well on furbies 👀 speaking from experience
Does this work for synthetic wigs as well?
@@superficialposer maybe? I'd guess so but I've honestly only tried it on furbies lol. Probably though
U gotta use synthetic rit dye for any non real hair wigs otherwise itll all wash off or sharpies but thats more time consuming
@@raccoonfurby8956 you're probably right ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wouldn't really know. But like I said, acrylic paint and water works great for furbies and other toys because you don't wash them often. It's also good for something like in this video because she likely wouldn't wash these extensions much. Good if for only one use and you don't want to buy real synthetic hair dye
I wouldn't reccomend the sharpie method. If you get your ratios wrong it can male your wig very crunchy, speaking from experience. Rit dye is the way to goooo
The cat saying "ae" at 5:28 is the best part of this video.
This whole video is absolute gold but I LOST it at the Starbucks cup with “Ebony” on it 😂
Would have been even better if it said "Enoby" on it, since she kept misspelling it as such.
@@silvercandra4275 That was AMAZING. And yeah, I tend to call her "Enoby" at least half the time myself. Especially when my Sim version of her (in any game) shows up. :P It's like "Oh, hey Enoby! I see you over there!"

If my immortal becomes a movie STRANGE ÆONS has to be in it. Having her as Ebony Darkness Dementia Ravenway would be ideal but having her be in place of any other random goth would be cool too

Wow, the world sure is small huh
As someone who was goth in the early 2000s, I can guarantee the 'white foundation' is more on the clown side. We called it 'pancake makeup' at the time and people who wore it were known as wearing 'pancake face'.
Yup, and using talc as setting powder :D
God, the memories - one of my friends used to wear white foundation (yep, it existed! Stargazer was the brand, I think?) with dark eyeshadow. But she never, ever wore mascara... WOW that used to do my head in every time! Another friend had glue-on take vampire teeth, they were super expensive & proper dentist-fitted jobs... When we felt like being casual we'd wear urban/night camp cargo pants with docs... Never needed a handbag though!
Can confirm 😁
@@Blue_Sonnet "never needed a handbag"... yup! And the front of our tight-laced corsets functioned as a handy "pocket" to stash our wallet down when we would dress fancy, or even stowing our cash & ID down in our knee-high boots 😆
I remember scrolling through so many pictures of Scandinavian metal bands for inspiration and wearing full corpse paint to school and my dad said I looked like a mime. :( (kinda true tho)
@@Blue_Sonnet Stargazer might've been the brand! I've never worn white foundation day-to-day (too much of a prep), but I tracked some down for a costume and it was great. Held like a charm and really changed the way you looked. I've used it for years for theater afterwards (plus occasionally as eyeshadow for reasons best left unclear).
Apologies for the goth-appropriating I didn't realize I was doing, and thank you so much for the comment! Not only does it bring back fun memories, I also find all of this super impressive. I'm an uncultured wood critter with very little makeup drive or know-how (as evidenced by my using foundation as eyeshadow more than once) and the fact that people are willing to do so much for the sake of their ideal look always leaves me awestruck.
First Karolina Zabrowska did an emo-inspired look, and now this, we are truly blessed

Okay, confession time. In my senior year of high school my then bff and I were obsessed with My Immortal and would do dramatic readings of it for our friends in the park at night. I never got to have an emo phase due to Christian school dress codes so said bff had the brilliant idea to use our cosplay and acting skills (theater kids amirite) to dress up and do these little video diaries/vlogs as the characters. We spent a whole sleepover filming various scenes with her as Ebony and myself as Draco and Vampire Potter respectively. I still remember how powerful I felt in that purple Linkin Park t-shirt, those tight black skinny jeans, rubber emo band bracelets, and shitty plastic blonde wig. Unfortunately I had no idea how to bind properly (lemme tell u that ace bandage cinched tight did NOT feel good) and I also had zero idea what a trans person was, let alone that I WAS one, so I'm sure you can imagine the gender euphoria high alone was enough to coast on for the rest of the year. We filmed at 3am in a few different locations around our neighborhood and it was easily the best night of my teenage life.
Needless to say of course, I am now goth and non-binary and have on two separate occasions forced and/or tricked my coworkers into starting a My Immortal read-aloud during our work meeting calls. They secretly liked it.
AN: Fangs for da rlly kewl vid, if u lik my stroy plz leav goood revows xDD!!!! IF UR A PREP DNT FUKINGG FLAM!!!!!
Oh god this is so relatable....I did kind of get to have a mall goth/emo phase despite my Christian upbringing, under the guise of it being "just cosplay mom!" And let me Tell You What that brought out the gay trans me real fast even though I didn't have a word for it for like many more years
As a Tumblr post said very accurately "The complete blurring of the Gender Binary is one of (goth) style's biggest draws." Corsets, make-up, waistcoats, heels, fishnets and big heavy boots are completely GN. People look at you and often their first impression isn't "Boy" or "Girl", it's "Goth/Emo"

Aww! Good for you, sib!
I feel like I saw tia get younger before my eyes when she put on that make-up. She totally nailed the messy middle schooler look.
I went to a drag show recently and someone dressed up as Eboby and read the first several chapters of my immortal on stage and that was their whole act and I lost my fucking mind
OHMYGOD I WOULD HAVE DIED LAUGHING. XD Possibly the best thing I've read all week!
This is incredible lol
WHAT
Bro tell me someone filmed that cause I need that in my life
Where can I find them?
I have the strangest feeling that Teya is secretly the author of My Immortal. Her look and style is exactly how I would imagine an older, more mature version of the author to look. And, of course, if I was the kid who wrote My Immortal, I would 100% still be active online and force all my friends to ironically enjoy My Immortal with me while secretly being the author. And then I would jokingly say that I wrote the thing in a fugue state. I see through you, Teya. I. See. Through. You.
No one can convince me that Teya is not the author.
also i believe the “real” author is known by the name tara which is very close to teya
you might be onto something
YO DUDE ITSA YOU!!

Wow! That sentence hit me like a truck!
I can tell that my fashion sense hasn't changed since 2009 because I look at these outfits, and I'm like, "yeah that's normal."
Me: "Hey, that actually looks pretty good!"
Her: "This looks pretty terrible."
Me: "Horrible"
Tia: "Horrible, this is just horrible!"
Me: "Who is this new hotness?!"
exactly
as a former emo, I think "corset stuff" probably means laces! If you image search "emo lace up dress" there's some great examples
I actually thought it might be boning but I guess both make sense. Could have been one of those dresses with the corset built in.
You should get together with a bunch of fellow gays and make a low budget live action adaptation of My Immortal. the shittier the better
i love how bingus actually sits in his little bed. My cat refuses to interact with anything I buy for her :/
The trick is to act like you don't want them to do it. Or get two cats and then they fight over it.

This is insane. This is literary research. This is multi-modal art.
I love how "my inmortal" became famous as a joke for being so very badly written but somehow now is a historical piece of literature that everyone must know about . XD is a cult fanfic 🤣🤣🤣
i'm pretty sure when ebony wears "corset thingies" she means stuff with built in corsets. I love my immortal tbh. Little me laughed at the fic but secretly loved all her fits.
Huh I always assumed she meant the lacing. Like she says corset stuff UP the front and back which to me implies a vertical directionality? Lol
yeah i interpreted it as eyelets and ribbons pretty much.
@@bbear2695 me too, but maybe some boning in some of the dresses
@@camille1324 Yeah, that's what I got too. Like I've got a dress with lacing up the front from waist to just under the bust to cinch it in but no boning or anything and that's what I imagined. It's kind of a pseudo medivil look. Only my dress is rainbow tie-die with a handkerchief skirt and I reckon Ebony would probably self immolate at the merest sight of it 🤣
@@WhichDoctor1 ur dress sounds dope as hell
Dude I get how the people in superman didn't notice they were the same person because you took off your glasses and looked completely unrecognizable
Recently “My Immortal” was translated into Russian. Now I know what it is. It’s a masterpiece ✨
Aah! That's amazing! :D I never really stopped to think what other languages could or could not read this. A lot of the humor comes from (CONSTANTLY) misspelling or accidentally (?) replacing words in English, so I wonder if that was carried over to Russian too...
@@robinchesterfield42 gothic and emo culture was a thing in Russia, so that specific slang and misspelling were adapted accurately.
Incredible. I can’t imagine trying to translate My Immortal.
IT TOOK US OVER 10 YEARS FOR THIS? +
O.M.G link !
This is… history. Unfortunately. It is an incredible time capsule for something id rather forget. My Immortal, true to its name, has been immortalised.
Not gonna lie--whenever I hear those three words together in that order, I will ALWAYS think of the fanfic first and the actual song it's named after second. Heh.
This whole video is so up my alley I cannot describe it with words. Kristen making an appearance as Draco is the icing on the cake that makes the whole thing 100 times better
All of these outfits are things I would make the sim version of myself wear in sims 3 when I was like 12, and I am absolutely living for it.
Are we the same person?
seeing teya in full foundation and makeup is setting the facial recognition part of my brain on fire
Yeah, I don't know what it is, but she looks so familiar to me. Maybe because of the goths/emos from my childhood?
Well, this has been illuminating
Apparently my taste in women's aesthetic, while it has matured and expanded over the years, has not actually meaningfully changed since I was 12
“I have never felt so cringe culture is dead in this Chili’s tonight”
I am having a hernia
I don’t know why but for some reason my mind keeps erasing the fact that my immortal was a thing until I see the word immortal and it sends me into a whirlwind of ebony dark’ness paraphernalia
Ebony Dark'ness Paraphernalia Dimentia Mementos Raven Way
I know she's described as imcredibly bootiful, so this is accurate to the primary text, but I'm still somehow left with the sense that you're too pretty to be a believable Enoby. Maybe it's the absence of teenage gawkwardness, sullenness and badly-makeupped-over acne. Either way, fantastic feats and how to wear them. 666/10.
"Ebony Darkn'ess Dementia Raven Way" makes be laugh every time I here it. There are three synonyms for "Black", a horrible condition, and the word "Way".
Gérard Way is literally her Daddy
describing the outfits as being 'historically accurate' is.... jarring

"histerically accurate"
As someone who is studying to go into historical clothing study and reconstruction (Ancient Roman), I adored how you stuck to the source material and branched out to other sources from the time period (ie your memories of the time and the art). Truly a masterpiece! I whole heatedly agree with your conclusion!
I hope the author is doing well, and sees this, and enjoys it as much as the rest of us did
Oh to be so lucky as to spot the rare Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way in the wild, hunting her prey of Count Chocula with blood. Nature is finally healing 🖤
"But what you may not know is that his real name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way"
Kristen’s brief appearances ALWAYS give me gender envy
Love how you put just as much effort into this as ANY historical costuming seamstress on youtube. Truly an icon of our times.
Seriously I need BB to review the historical accuracy and rave about the use of original practice lol
@@WitchOracle @bernadettebanner ummm, you know?
the part where she was just silently eating cereal reminded me of the icarly episode where Spencer uploaded a video of him eating cereal to a dating website
Someone 100% walked by you while you were cutting the fishnets on the bus/train and i guarantee you that was a life changing experience for them lmao
"We're in this lovely season where everyday is a different season."
As a fellow Canadian that is a big mood.
22:36 i feel like cutting more holes into your fishnets on the train is just the absolute peak of emo aesthetic
Technically they had less holes after that

Not a single soul on earth:
Strange Aeons: "yer so I'm going to dress like a 12 year old goth chick from 2005 in 2021. You know for research."
Video was great. I will never doubt your genius again.
I should have known but I still hate how much I unironically love these looks
The cut to your “Draco” had me in fucking stitches lmao
As someone *very* into that subculture's look when it was around, despite not being able to dress THAT extreme, you absolutely nailed it. Except that the skirts would be like, flashing everyone levels of short. Which I can understand you wouldn't want to do. Your makeup is actually TOO polished, though. I have pics of me in that era and it was fucking MESSY and also cheap. You had to go with the cheapest shit possible - even if it was bad for your skin. The MCR shirt would have been shorter - and tucking your shirt in was social SIN back then! It would have been that the skirt would be at hip-level, way uncomfortable but whatever, that was the fashion, and then the fishnet shirt would have covered the bellybutton for you in a terrible way.
Thank you for your knowledge. I never knew that tucking your shirt went out of style
@@necrodeus6811 it was never in style

OMFG i’m trying to get my friend to finish the fanfic but he feels mentally tormented he’s stalling so hard, but this is perfect
Why are you torturing him like this
Have him listen to one of the many readings on youtube, at least they'll give the poor guy some fun
Just send him the internet historian video on it, much better than reading it himself
@@miserablepumpkin9453 he needs this to be fully emerged in the fandom
