The Vampire Muse: How to find your Dark Muse

[@fleurdelis3818]

Vampire: Scorpio, Capricorn Witch: Sagittarius, Aquarius Siren: Cancer, Pisces Doll: Taurus, Virgo, Libra Fairy: Aries, Gemini

[@silkymochi]

This is pretty accurate! However I do see Aries being Vampire and Libra as Fairy but I wanted the muses to be interchangeable amongst the signs - like there could be an Aries Vampire, an Aries Siren and so on

[@fleurdelis3818]

Yeah I can see that. Especially given that the color Red associated with Aries has more in common with Vampire and all. Which of these 5 archetypes would the Valkyrie fall into? Because I’d say that’s Aries in a nutshell haha

[@fleurdelis3818]

Oh and Leo would be Vampire:)

[@Ella-pc4bf]

That is a little who accurate because I am a Pisces Sun, Aries Venus, and Scorpio rising. My top three were Fairy with Siren and Vampire being tied because on two of the questions I couldn’t pick just one.

[@Niyawearswhat]

Scorpio tapping in. And I love me some vamps

[@wistful.8400]

nice video, the vampire + haunted doll category also reminded me of claudia from interview with the vampire

[@silkymochi]

Yes youre on point! I actually did think of Claudia but I try not to show kids in my videos or have a focus on them so much? And Claudia was depicted so young I just decided not to include her but her dresses are what I had in mind for Vampire + Doll

[@FruitsandCoffee]

I'm a Classic-style Elegant Gothic Lolita (since the mid-90s) and favorite brands are Mary Magdalene, Innocent World and Victorian Maiden. So lots of demure cuts, more A-line skirts vs Sweet Lolita's bell and cupcake shapes, grandma's flower printed couch patterns, and luxurious, intricate and soft lace. Yet I still somehow got Witch+Siren LMAO

[@silkymochi]

You must've liked something that was Witch or Siren 😂 but the test was only a few questions so it can only ever really encompass so much & was meant to fun 🖤 although Haunted Doll is what I envisioned for Lolita styles - some elements can feel quite witchy

[@hanna9410]

I love this concept! And now I'm associating these essences with Kitchener's: Dramatic/Vampire, Natural/Witch, Gamine/Fairy, Romantic/Sire, Ingenue/Haunted Doll. Looking forward to the next in this series :)

[@silkymochi]

That's exactly how I saw it! I briefly mention this in my first iteration of this concept (I posted that video last year) but I saw Siren also as Classic 🖤 Romantic was Vampire as well - its very flexible but you get the idea 👌🏼

[@hanna9410]

@@silkymochioh I missed that video! Happy there’s something to watch while waiting for your next video 🖤

[@silkymochi]

Of course! Hope you enjoy that one, it goes even more in depth why I chose those 5! Its called "Is your Dark Aesthetic like a..." Vampire, Witch, Siren etc

[@Carrie-sgda]

I got Siren/Witch from the test , I didn’t really realise it before but it does reflect who I am . I’m very dreamy , mysterious also spiritual, caring and creative . I love wearing purples, greys and blues , flares, antique style jewellery, satin/silk , contrast and iridescence but I also love distressed looking clothing ,long draping sleeves, long sharply pointed nails , deep blood red and long flowy materials .

[@kirstenbakker839]

I love that you are returning to the fantasy styles for a deep dive! I hope you'll do an in-depth video for each style. Looking forward especially to Siren 🖤

[@silkymochi]

I absolutely will do a deep dive for each one! Witch is coming this weekend and Siren will be either the weekend after or after that (either way it'll be before 2025 lol)

[@darkwinx_259]

I got Witch+Vampire, i was already following Nikkshae, spot on 😂

[@silkymochi]

Im so glad I hit the nail on that one 🥹🖤

[@AldapChat]

I'm so glad younposted this bc I missed the quiz. I got vampire + witch 🖤🖤🖤

[@silkymochi]

Of course! More quizzes to come in video format 🖤

[@Bolin_Cupcake]

I am so excited for the siren!

[@silkymochi]

Coming soooooon 🖤

[@Ooshy]

Could we get the answers in the quiz for the lips? 🥹💕

[@silkymochi]

Omg I'm so sorry! Yes its 1) Vampire 2) Haunted Doll 3) Siren 4) Witch 5) Fairy I was editing this at 3am so I apologize for missing this!

[@Ooshy]

@silkymochi thank you!! 💕

[@Deniz-gi4xp]

I am so happy you are back on KZbin. Your videos have helped me so much to find my style back again. And I am still waiting on the winter dark aesthetic video :)

[@silkymochi]

I am absolutely honored! And I do need to get back on the seasons videos 😭 theyre just so time consuming lol

[@mangostring]

Fairy Spring, Siren Summer, Fall Vampire Witch is on the The passage from autumn to winter Winter Haunted Doll , this is how I feel and rotate the girls (with all due respect)❤

[@mingb.]

Came here from Tiktok! Excited for the rest of this series!

[@silkymochi]

Thank you for being here! 🖤🖤🖤 just posted the Siren video & aiming to keep posting every Sunday (try to 🥲)

[@myrrhmaidmana]

🖤looking forward to this series and the dark muse examples you'll highlight for each combo. For siren x fairy I instantly thought of great fairy (zelda oot) since her laugh-scream is so iconic. 😆 I got siren🧜‍♀ x doll🪆. I wasn't expecting doll because I assume it's usually more maximalist frilly babydoll than my taste, but I'm more intrigued since you mentioned the phantom subgenre. c: I got a lot of close second choices with witch, but I figure that I'm drawn to the minimal/subtle/natural aspect of the options the most rather than the occult themes, etc. 1. siren 2. haunted doll, 3. fairy, (2nd witch/siren) 4. siren (2nd witch) 5. haunted doll (2nd witch, but I can't decide if it's specifically 60s Morticia😩🖤)

[@Mary.420]

Another midnight KZbin video for me to watch instead of sleep 🖤🖤🖤

[@silkymochi]

I am honored 😭 but also hope you got some sleep!

[@andreiadetavora8471]

I got witch+siren

[@silkymochi]

Next week will be for you then 🖤

[@M0TH3RR]

Omg me to

[@xuxagirl87]

Love this idea! My results were primarily witch, with a 3 way tie for second place between vampire, fairy and siren

[@silkymochi]

Ok so next weeks video will be for you! I'm going into witch and the different styles and subgenres under it 🖤

[@MamaCookieMonsterz]

I got Witch and Haunted Doll. I'm kinda surprised cause I've been trying for a Fairy/Haunted Doll look. Fantastic video girlie! Looking forward to the rest of the videos for this series!💕

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you! Hopefully you like next week's video!

[@discardme222]

I got haunted doll and vampire ! Which I love for colder weather and during the summer i love flowing fabrics and light layers. thank you so much !

[@you_already_have_it]

I got Haunted Doll + Witch mix. 😎 Hope you cover it next. Interesting video 👍

[@silkymochi]

Looove! I will be covering witch this weekend 😉

[@you_already_have_it]

@@silkymochi cool. Curious how you can interpretate, it's such a wild mix🤔

[@silkymochi]

I'll be using my friend as an irl example, she has witchy elements but she always chooses pieces with volumes, things with a nod to doll like details in the collars and playful elements 🖤

[@lysannelynn]

What a fun video 🖤

[@silkymochi]

I appreciate this 🖤

[@josiethereadingwitch2224]

Loved this video! I’m vamp x witch x fairy 😀also love the more futuristic take as well as a rockstar aesthetic thrown in, thinking lost boys or Lestat 🖤

[@blowingbubbles681]

A little surprised by my haunted doll mix but almost excited to experiment as I’ve been a bit bored of the witchy box I put myself in (in an effort to consume less). It made me think I follow a good amount of girls who play into the haunted doll aesthetic but somehow never took the full leap , didn’t realize I have always incorporated some elements as well. Might start off with some attachable collars, loved this video!

[@glowyaf]

Mine was witch and fairy with one on siren. Which seems so on point for me ❤I’m excited to see more of this series 😍

[@stasitribe3428]

Vampire with hints of siren🖤

[@silkymochi]

Such a great combo 🖤

[@skaldkonur9978]

Oh, what a great video! Yes, please do the other aesthetics as well ~ I've got the vampire /witch (very fitting) and would really love to hear all about the witch - and honestly all of them! Madame, you got yourself a new subscriber

[@silkymochi]

So lucky for you, The Witch is coming this Sunday! And I plan on doing individual styles and how the 5 muses fit into them 👀 thank you for being here!

[@salameander42]

Happy to see you back! ❤

[@silkymochi]

Thank you for welcoming me back with open arms making me inspired to come back after my break 🥹🖤

[@mkt7239]

Hi, please spin this off into more content. I would gladly spend on guides regarding this and the siren speaks to me like no other style archetype ever has. Bravo!

[@lestranged]

vampire in fall and winter, hippie witch in summer.

[@topoftheabbyss6606]

Vampire witch combo aka the perfect vibe for me! This is such a fun video and makes me want to experiment

[@He_Loves_Horror]

So sorry for my belated viewing of this but the early Winter tinged weather here gave me a Flu for over a week. Must say as per always my good friend that your content is surprisingly well thought out, perfectly edited & seemingly _VERY_ well researched. Seriously good stuff. 👍🦇🖤🖤🕸🎃

[@VenusMacabre]

I got tied between vampire and witch with a hint of haunted doll, which doesn't surprise me in the least. I'd like to incorporate more siren elements though. I just feel like I look too plain in that style or like it doesn't fit me too well because while from the neck down I'm a curvy hourglass romantic, on the face I'm a massive ingenue. 😔

[@jorieshouse]

I got mainly witch with a few haunted doll answers. I've been playing with a lot of clown/mime inspiration lately so it made sense that it's a haunted doll subgenre. Excited to get help with mixing/blending those muses

[@PrincessMarie-MicheleVictoria]

Definitely vampire! And Selene from underworld is always what I look to 😊 great videos!

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you! And omg I love her so much

[@Lalaland099]

YOU'RE BACK!!

[@venu6star]

i think a great muse for hd vamp would be claudia, from interview with the vampire, both the 1994 and the 2022 version!! though I think the 2022 claudia is more fairyvamp esque,, anyways i loveweee ur vids!!

[@silkymochi]

Awww thank you! I absolutely did think about Claudia, both! I just try not use kids as references when possible and Kristen Dunst was so young in the movie

[@oamordasuavidatodinha]

Omg, thank you for the quiz again 😭😭❤ Im gonna watch the other videos later to get everything better !!

[@Cauldron6]

I literally JUST discovered your videos yesterday, so this is PERFECT TIMING!!! Vampire/Witch soft gamine, reporting in! :3

[@zingara76]

That’s so cool! Few months ago I was actually thinking about this. The idea came out after trying to figure out “the 3 word method” and one of my words was vampire/bruja. In Spanish instead of English and that’s because my outfits hold a more Hispanic style. Kinda like Maria Felix

[@YouareSOjelly]

I got the Witch dark aesthetic muse, with a balance of Vampire, Fairy & Doll (I picked 2 or 3 for some of the questions).

[@missmarina_xo]

My favorite mythological creature has always been mermaids. I had a mermaid Barbie with pink hair and she’s still lowkey one of my beauty inspos. I always wanted hair like her 🧜🏼‍♀️💕

[@JenniferTracy-ib6jr]

I got vampire & witch (although with the vampire/haunted doll color scheme). It fits perfectly with my summer natural dramatic.

[@siracornful]

Love this!

[@silkymochi]

🖤🖤🖤

[@slymaedox]

Witch predominant with 3 points, but tied between Siren and Vampire with 1 - I'll interpret it as Witch/Vampire due to knowing I can tend towards the maximalist vibe of the vampire, as Mortician easily could. But funnily enough, I enjoy parts of the Siren popping up (infering from the information so far). Cannot wait for information on the Witch Muse and its fusions.

[@AngryTheatreMaker]

Great video! I think my answers were "Vampire, Siren, dash of Witch". That my current style is "postpartum/whatever isn't in the laundry basket" is something else again. I will say that my pared down aspirational look is "Mother, structured but with free movement and soft edges, lots of wrap styles, Dark Autumn palette and some sculptural jewelry with heft". I do believe both Witch and Siren translate beautifully into Kitchener's Ethereal, if and when someone has that essence. (I maintain meantime that someone like Hozier would be a clear candidate for "bog witch who dines with the Fair Folk", if that is indeed the correct category.) Again, thank you!

[@jazzjoancater]

Fairy witch! Looking forward for the video for this muse combo

[@christiebecerril8113]

I loved this! The inspo images are so helpful for figuring out which things I prefer

[@spirit4128]

i got the fairy witch combo with 1 vampire

[@silkymochi]

Fairy witch is so fun & so earthy and I can't to do the video on it because there's so much to cover still 🖤

[@Maria_Svetlana_5923]

Vampire+ witch and hint of siren

[@Bolin_Cupcake]

I am a witch, but would love to dive into the combination of witch + siren! I live in a really hot country and believe this combination will be beautiful here!

[@silkymochi]

I'm definitely mentioning that when I make this weeks video on Witch 👀 I'm also witch, in style and umm practices

[@als6156]

so much inspo!

[@cheerleaderMelanie]

Could you do a video on aesthetics of types of homes for these muses. I’m a vampire/ witch type of person. I love antiques and antiques homes the floral background with a claw tub

[@silkymochi]

Oh the way I squealed at this idea! Definitely on my list of videos for 2025, thank you 🖤

[@mellowwy6]

When you get one point for each type 😂 Thank you sooo much for this video nonetheless ♡ Just curious: in your opinion which type would a classic kitchener fit?

[@silkymochi]

I always saw Classic immediately as Siren, sleek lines, minimal but mindful details! They also easily fit in Vampire but a less maximalist Vampire lol sounds like youre a Jack of all trades or muses 😂

[@mellowwy6]

​@@silkymochi Thank you for the answer 🥹 and cannot wait for the other types. Really, such a detailed video, amazing work ‎♡

[@SheepasaurusRex]

i also got one point per aesthetic! high five *edit:* my style is a lot more maximalist and patchwork at the moment now, though, so i guess that would fit more into vampire/haunted doll?

[@willowoodz]

yayy i got witch ! it was already what i was going for

[@mangostring]

I love them all WTF

[@r.i.t.i.k.a]

I think my silhouttes are a mix of witch and haunted doll while my details abs colours are vampiric

[@Theeldritchwitch]

I missed your videos😭

[@Theeldritchwitch]

I got witch, which isn't surprising and haunted doll, but I also really like fairy and vampire

[@figgyfatale]

I would be a mix of vampire & witch 🖤🤘🏽

[@diamondlaylay]

Vampire/siren witch 🖤

[@atypicalfrenchy]

The lip color results got skipped around 2:33 right?

[@silkymochi]

That was my bad! I put the lip color answers in the description! Sorry about that 🥲 I accidentally didnt include the clip when I was editing

[@rainyfristoe7682]

Another great video, Melissa (sorry if I misspelled your name!). I got the vamp/witch mix which is no surprise to me since I gravitate towards those colors and have been told I give off vamp and witchy vibes; also, I've always connected more to female characters who are witty and powerful (and usually devious or not pure and demure). Is it wrong that I thought of Lucy from the 90's Dracula movie when I saw the vamp and haunted doll slide?

[@lilamillz]

What was the answer to the Lipstick one?? I got mostly Vampire, with a little witch & haunted doll. I've been told i give off dark fairy vibes though, like a "gothic hippie" 😅

[@silkymochi]

I put in the description of the video! That was my bad, I was editing at 3am and definitely cut out that clip 😭

[@silkymochi]

Gothic hippie reminds of Witch so much 👀

[@SICness100]

I got all five muses, help 😭😅

[@silkymochi]

You are a jack of all trades 😭 well think which muse you naturally feel drawn to, I also have my first video on this topic to see which styles you like more and also I'm going in depth into each muse!

[@Camila-uu9fn]

Heyyy!! I truly love your videos, they're so fun and I find it really helpfull when looking for inspo in my style. I have a question, I see that you categorize the clown aesthetic as part of the haunted doll, but what about the cabaret/circus girl kind of look, because it is very different from the clown but idk what you think. (Also, I got witch vimpire, very cool)

[@silkymochi]

Cabaret definitely needs a video of its own but I think it would fit in a subgenre under Haunted Doll - the makeup, the intricacies, the fun & play

[@silkymochi]

Cabaret definitely needs a video of its own but I think it would fit in a subgenre under Haunted Doll - the makeup, the intricacies, the fun & play!

[@MIGHTYM4RS]

I got 1. Witch 2. Siren 3. Fairy 4. Vampire 5. Fairy 😂😢

[@silkymochi]

So fairy but kind of well rounded 😂

[@sumimasen_wtf]

Could you also do other combinations as well? Like Siren + Witch, Siren + Fairy, Witch + Fairy, etc.?

[@silkymochi]

So this was the Vampire specific combos, I'm doing Witch this weekend and Sirens are the weekend after 😉

[@sumimasen_wtf]

@silkymochi Yay! Thank you! I look forward to all of them. ☺️ I have Ethereal Essence, but I'am also a Dark Winter. Your videos helped me immensely to finally find a style which suits me. I'am glad I could find you. 💜 Love, from Calcutta. ♥️

[@silkymochi]

You are so so so sweet, that means so much especially since when I first started my channel I had no idea what I could offer people so this means so much 🖤

[@sumimasen_wtf]

@@silkymochi Girl, you have no idea the gap you filled on KZbin when it comes to Ethereal Essences. There's almost no videos for us Ethereals who have a Darker Seasonal palette. It's more hard as a fair-toned person in my country, as majority of the fashion here is more targetted towards warm or deeper skin tonnes. That includes makeup as well. There's little to no option for people with fair & cooler complexions. I was relieved to find your channel as it gave me the exact information to finally fit where I belong. Now I know what to look for when I go shopping. Once again, thank you! 💜

[@silkymochi]

I seriously appreciate this! Is this why my channel is getting Ethereal searches the most? Lol in my analytics under "how people found you" most of it was under searches for Ethereal Essence inspiration A lot of my videos stem from never really seeing dark aesthetics or alternative styles being celebrated in the Essence, Kibbe or Color Analysis systems- dark styles are always deemed as going against what works and I want to prove you can still be harmonious with your types while still having a darker aesthetic 🖤

[@samanthaclostermery6870]

Vampire siren makes me think of dark shadows vibes❤

[@Sioux3759]

Dominant vampire with a little bit of everything, except Haunted doll😂

[@samanthaclostermery6870]

I got Haunted Doll and Fairy 😅

[@DP-oi9nd]

Was the point adding skipped over? I got one mark for everyone except fairy anyways

[@silkymochi]

There was no point adding! Just which ever Muse you got the most points in is your muse or if you tied with any then its your combo! Also as you go through the series which ever resonates the most with you 🖤

[@onipot9639]

where did you originally post this quiz? I am clearly not following enough of your content lol I am a witch - fairy, I never thought of myself as being fairy like but I actually think it makes sense for my style preferences, I like a slightly fairytale quality to my style.

[@silkymochi]

I sent the quiz first to my email subscribers to kind of test it out! The website I made it on had a limited amount of people who can take it......so I saved the test as jpegs and now theyre here 😅 I also make a PDF of all my KZbin videos for my $1-5 patreon members & that test is in this week's PDF!

[@silkymochi]

And thats exactly how I saw the Dark Fairy muse! Of the 5 its the most fae like, Lord of the Rings, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, etc - this weekend is Witch but the Witch + Fairy examples I'm excited to talk about 👀

[@sugerplum3176]

I got haunted doll + siren

[@silkymochi]

🖤🖤🖤

[@Givnnmar]

I got vampire + h. doll and fairy tied in second. Not a single witch answer which was a shock to me lol

[@swansplace]

Really wanted to be a Siren but i guess im a fairy by 4 points 😂

[@aurigavega]

Siren 🩷 but I already knew that

[@RuviGaPo]

I got witch+fairy(+doll)!♡^^ The true spooky aspect of this is how much the quiz results coenside w essences. Even tho i don't Do essences anymore, that's still a little spooky like, am i drawn to this bc i Like It? or bc it Looks Good? Just things to ponder owo (In other words i'll def try to pull off siren some day just to try it and prove that i Can even tho it's so far removed from what i usually go for loll😂)

[@silkymochi]

Witch fairy doll is so cute! And yeeeeeah, I think I always subconsciously think of the Essences when making videos - like for Fairy I couldn't help myself and I just had to say "this is a Gamine dark aesthetic and Idk how else to say it" lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@durararaize]

i need a video about the cyber style but goth. i see cannot see it without the sport vibe

[@silkymochi]

I actually touched upon Cyberpunk & Retrofuturism in my Dark Dystopian video! Its not that old so you can find it pretty fast 🖤

[@durararaize]

@@silkymochi i will watch it. thanks ✨

[@latinalucero3993]

I got siren+fairy 🕸️😭

[@LunaFreiheit]

Witch 🧙

[@EllinIsLivid]

I got witch + vampire but I don't have romantic or dramatic sexy essence. My body is dramatic classic and my face is natural and gamine. I avoid all of these clothes because I won't look good in anything sensual and Mysterious. Aren't dramatic classics supposed to just wear professional sleek simple tailored clothes? I'm not religius either and I am a true autumn so I can't wear black

[@silkymochi]

So Dramatic doesnt always have to be in tailored looks but its about sharp details which doesnt always have to be tailored and your Natural speaks to witch! So this video is only a small portion of what Vampiric style could be! I could go on for hours of other possibilities 🖤

[@DP-oi9nd]

🧜🏾‍♀️🧛🏾‍♀️

[@silkymochi]

🖤🖤🖤

[@gabydiazortiz]

I got a different one for every single question lol

You got that diverse style 💅🏼

[@memep.9220]

I do believe I’m a romantic and funny enough my results were Vampire + Siren I do love a bit of Haunted doll tho anyways beautiful video love it!!!!!~~~~ 🥹❤❤

[@momoz1]

Haunted doll for me 🤍 but I got one for siren, I do love the siren aesthetic

[@silkymochi]

I think combos make a style so fun!

[@laurencunningham8312]

I find it offensive as a gamine that my goth style is Beetlejuice and I know that I will not look or feel gothic wearing vampire + fairy colors.🥹😭

[@silkymochi]

Omg but fairy is lowkey Lydia Deetz coded! Idk if you saw my first video on the 5 muses but Fairy actually has a lot of pop in the color, I saw Fairy as the most colorful of the 5 and the Beetlejuice green is part of that 💚
