As much as I love Gargoyles, they all dress very badly. I’m sorry but it’s true. Anyway here’s Merial and Jim as gargoyles.

To be fair, most professional tailors aren’t going to work with them in their setting. Anything they wear would have to be something producable by their small group, likely lacking materials, working with their chunky clawed talons in a fairly narrow window of time each night. Not to mention the surviving sample are mostly from a warrior caste/band, which were probley not expert craftsmen to start with.
It covers the important bits! That’s all that matters.
There was one episode where the trio built a motorcycle and Brooklyn went out disguised as a biker. He had to poke holes in the helmet for his horns. And while he tried to keep his wings folded and hidden under a leather jacket, the jacket got ripped when he popped his wings to glide the bike over an improvised ramp and fence to escape from some cops. (You know, since he didn’t have a license and also wasn’t human.)
In another episode, Broadway spent a few nights running around in a detective’s trench coat and fedora. By the end of the episode, he tore off the tattered scraps clinging to his shoulders and threw it in a dumpster.
Basically it seems they stick with what they know isn’t going to be completely obliterated every time they get into a fight. (which is often!) It makes some sense when you just look at the way clothing is made these days.
Everything is made thinner, so you have to buy more and wear layers to stay warm. And the thin stuff just does NOT hold up for long, at all!
I have some old winter shirts that my mother wore 30-40 years ago. They’re about twice as thick as anything of the same style you find in a store today, and I don’t have to worry about them falling apart in the wash.
Dude, when you spend all day gettin’ stoned when ya wake up at night dealing with the red eyes and the munchies is more important than were ya left your pants.
Jim’s clothes look familiar – They look based on Grif, arguably the best Gargoyle in the London Clan
*Talon Bump*
Mythical beings don’t tend to have access to designer clothing, alas if they can’t magic the clothes to fit themselves properly. That’s why Puck looked awesome in both his normal form and as *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER*.
Quite right about Puck’s two personas. A (comedic) Straight Man dressed to the 9s, and a Jester with enough force of personality and eye for detail to make ANYTHING work. (Not sure he could make a Potato Sack work as well as Marlin Monroe did, but I’m sure he’d have pulled through regardless.)
90’s plus superheroes? Also probably a touch of DGAF.
What? You think Gargoyles have the best fashion sense after coming from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era all of a sudden? :D
iono guys, i bet one of the younger 3 could find a tailor that could work within the clan’s sensibilities and eccentricities…imagine being known as the Designer to the Gargoyles… might make em haute couture in the designer circles! Lots of wrap styles, velcro, things that might work with their claws and wings and wingflaps etc. Hell, even bronxpup could prolly be a model for gargoyle pup collars and harnesses!
Lexington probably could have had FIT if he’d wanted. His wings are a lot more static than the others, so a sort of gym-bro tank top would’ve worked for him.
That being said, any sort of halter-top would’ve worked for any of the Goyles, really. And Demona absolutely had style. She also was rich enough that she willingly just destroyed entire 3-piece suits for funsies. So maybe it’s just something that Gargoyles find fun.
Actually… Wasn’t there a thing where the Gargoyle race in general didn’t really wear clothes at all? Not seeing a point in them. And the reason that Goliath’s clan even had loincloths was because of their close relation with the clans they protected.
Their job is to ward off evil and bad omens. dressing badly just wards off fashion snobs which most can’t stand.
What if the cast got turned into different dragons? :3
Been done.
Architectural gargoyles are usually nekkid. Only their posture preserves any modesty.
What do Jub Jub birds and Bandersnatches eat? What sort of cooking is done in Wonderland?
‘Twas the Nineties… A bygone era, much of which was lost to time, alas. Mostly because I was barely even sapient by the time it ended.
do djinn exist in the skin-deep universe? i’m wondering how they’d work and how they’d be categorised, since they have been a part of middle-eastern folklore before Islam, and continue to be a part of muslim-influenced cultures today (anecdotal: muslim malays treat djinn in a similar-but-kind-of-different vein to local hantu folklore) would they have close ties to the other abrahamic-related creatures like demons and angels? or like, weird cousins to them?
Well, we know they eat fish and chips.
This was supposed to be a response to Tehreporter’s question about what jub jub birds and bandersnatches eat.
Ah come on! How you expect clothes that will work with wings and tails poking through to look good? Our tailor-mades aren’t made to fit around that many “extra” limbs!
Kory’s one of the artists who managed to depict people with wings and tails in good-looking clothing.
A question from the other side of the fourth wall. What is the cast doing to pass the time while you polish the script to perfection? There are only so many Yo-Yo tricks one can study from the Smothers brother…
