If we're speaking of Joo Hee, you all should listen to London, Islington Academy 19/4/08 videos, her cello is easily hearable in that and another (at Studio 24?) show. I Want My Innocence Back and Liar with Joo Hee's live cello slaps :D
How have I never seen these before? These are surprisingly high quality for a 2008 fan recording!
Liar:
I Want My Innocence Back:

Thank God I'm Pretty:
These were the shows meant to be on the DVD, by the way.
hii I dont know if you know this or not but ea actually has a shop for her youtube channel
I tried to find a store/shop tab on her YouTube channel and didn't see one. She does have one for Instagram, though. (Could you link me to the YT one if it exists?)
The only other new things I've seen pop up are The Gown Collection / mini store on the Asylum Emporium.
i was looking at a old interview where someone asked "According to the numbers, not every letter from Emil-y is published in the book. Do these unpublished letters exist somewhere? May they ever be shared?" and ea replied saying there are hidden clues and that there are bits online hidden in secret links. are these links still available and if so how do you find them?
I assume the Goodreads Q&A is the interview you're referencing.
There are many links inside the eBook, but no hospital or asylum letters have been found. The only Asylum Letter currently missing from the book's index is Asylum Letter No. I, but that's because it's included inside of Hospital Entry 12: The First Note.
sorry if this is like late but as dumb as this might sound I really feel like this tumblr page is my safe place, it's nice to come here and know that other people are into the same music I like, I'm usually never able to find people with the same interest as me. I truly do love it here.
That's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said about this blog. Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️ Stay as long as you like.
who is lady joo hee?
This question makes me sad and happy at the same time. It's been so long! Some people don't even know who Joo Hee is!!!
Well, here's your answer: Lady Joo Hee was the first Bloody Crumpet and the only Bloody Crumpet to play an instrument alongside EA.
She was recruited via ad, which was posted to the Asylum Forums (and elsewhere) in August of 2004.
Wanted: Female cellist to join the lineup of an all-female chamber-pop group fronted by violinist/singer of national renown. You must have your own gear (electric cello or cello with pickup and amp, effects, etc.), be in or around Chicago, and an appreciation for eclectic tastes that go beyond straight classical music (or straight rock for that matter). The band’s goal is to perform locally and tour nationally in support of albums already recorded. If you have any background in early music (Baroque, Renaissance, even Celtic), we’ll love you even more. Your talents as a seriously trained instrumentalist will be greatly appreciated (!!!) but we’d love it if you have a tendency to rock as well. An affection for corsets, glitter, and stage makeup is nice but optional.
She was a Bloody Crumpet from 2004/2005 to 2008, appearing alongside Emilie in her first-ever Opheliac show at the Double Doors in 2006. Most people believe that she recorded all the cello tracks for Opheliac, but she isn't directly credited as doing so. She's only mentioned under Emilie's "thank you" list.
Lady Joo Hee (All My Love)
Lady Joo Hee toured intermittently with EA and the other crumpets as her schedule allowed, departing during the Plague Tour in 2008. Here's a video of her playing live cello in one of her final appearances:
She was also featured in the earliest versions of The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, though she was later replaced with Sachiko. See her name mentioned in a 2008 book reading below:
She still lives and works in Chicago to this day, but hasn't revisited the Asylum since her "escape."
I don't know if you knew about this or posted about this yet, but there is three videos posted by areyousuffering on youtube titled, Emilie Autumn: the asylum outcry, Emilie Autumn: the asylum outcry part II, and Emilie Autumn: the asylum outcry part III. the video's were about her getting photos done for (I think) Opheliac album
Yes!
The Asylum Outcry Video Podcast was a three-part podcast filmed in 2009. It was meant to be a continuous series, but ended after three episodes. Here's one of the Forum Journal entries where she talks about it.
There was also another video podcast before this, circa 2006-ish. Only two teasers and a few photos were released. I believe the footage was lost during one of the robberies Emilie suffered, but I can't source that info right now.
The teasers:
The photos:
so i was bored and looked up what movies emilie autumn was in and of course devils carnival came up but two other movies came up, 11-11-11 and Mirror, Mirror 2: Raven Dance im literally so confused i thought she was only in devils carnival and Alleluia the devils carnival
(Note: because this is public info from a very large website, I feel comfortable posting this.)
Emilie has been in a few movies. There's TDC and TDC2, of course, but there's also the two you mentioned.
11-11-11 is another Darren Lynn Bousman movie. She had a very minor cameo as a vlogger. (That's her old home in Chicago in the background!)
She was also in Mirror Mirror 2: Raven Dance, (credited under another name) as Violinist. This movie is terrible, but weirdly enough, it's also Mark Ruffalo's debut. So there's that.
EA would've been a teenager when it was filmed and you can hear her violin in a few parts of the movie, but I haven't found a scene of her physically on screen.
If you want to try sitting through it, be my guest. I assume she'd be the body double for the main character's little brother.
Im surprised EA gets barely any comments and or likes on YouTube even though her view and sub count is high. Also can someone explain the favo(u)rite thing to me I dont get it
It's a tongue-in-cheek reference to the spelling differences between American English and British English. Y'know, since Emilie is American and Emily-with-a-y is British.
Example: favorite v. favourite = favo(u)rite.
Hi! I'm the person from the last question! I actually found out about her through her book (I'm a big reader). I was just curious about what the genre the Enchant album is (I haven't gotten around to listen to it yet), how old was she when she first started, did the Victorian style start when Opheliac was released or before, and when her first concert was and what that was about? I hope this wasn't too much questions! I tend to get really interested in new artist's I find.(And maybe too excited)
Enchant is faerie-pop, or maybe medieval-pop. It's lovely.
She started playing violin around 4 years old (reports vary slightly) and continued through her adolescence. In her teenage/young adult years she played classically, until she released Chambermaid in 2001, by which point she had begun singing professionally.
The full Victorian inspired look came in 2006, which was heavily inspired by the VECONA brand when they began to collab during the Opheliac era. But Emilie had shifted toward a more victorian, ophelia-like look for Opheliac before its release, probably inspired by her time with Courtney Love. This was around 2004/5.
(Note: if you look up VECONA now, you'll get Vecona Vintage, which is a different style than the one that was made throughout the mid-2000s. It's the same designer, though.)
Her first vocal performances and concerts were around 2000/2001 during the Enchant Era. Her first Opheliac concert was in 2006. Her first Fight Like A Girl concert was in 2012. Is there a specific moment you're referencing?
Hope this helps!
As a more new and younger "fan" of EA, I've always wondered what the Enchant era or pre Opheliac era (not really sure what it's called) was like. And also I saw two albums I've never seen or heard of before: Chambermaid and On a Day... . I always thought Enchant was her first album.
The Chambermaid EP was a single released a bit before Enchant, before Emilie went independent.
On a Day... was technically EA's first official album release. It was an instrumental album featuring her violin recordings from her teenage and very early adult years.
There's also By the Sword, released shortly after 9/11, and two promo discs: the Enchant Promo and what fans call the "Violin Promo," which was a demo disc with the recordings from On a Day...
Do you have any specific questions about the eras? It's wild to me that she's even pulling in new fans still, especially with her being so silent lately.
I would sell my soul and my left foot for a "I'm sorry, was I thinking again" t-shirt
And your left foot? That might be a little much.
But me too, anon. Me too.
Similar boat with the nostalgia from her stuff. feelings are complicated! Her music and stories helped me through a really tough time and probably a big reason why I'm doing as alright as I am now, but with all she's done it's just avdhckk like yeah I miss the feelings I had when I first discovered EA and would love to feel better like I did then, but ugh I do not want to support her after all she's pulled. (hope this makes sense I'm tired lol)
Agreed!!!! 100%!!!
does anyone else remember in the "interview with ea" in the Ophelia album when she answered the question "ea which mental illnesses do you not have"
At approximately 3:37. This was included on The End Record's re-release of Opheliac.
Does anyone know any books similar to The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls?
Anyone?
I'm kind of bummed that the Fandom is dead, though I do understand why it is.
Same. Especially with the nostalgia era being upon her fanbase's age group, it's sad to see everyone so quiet.
I'm surprised she's not at least doing anniversary re-releases of some of her albums. The twenty year of Enchant is coming up next February, and we blew by all the ten year anniversaries without a peep! With the exception of FLAG's, which is in July of 2022.
Even some solo shows in NYC would be interesting—even if it was just EA, a piano, and a violin, or something, with a 2007-style merch table of handmade goodies.
And God what I wouldn't give for her to find a way to release the DVD footage from the 2008 tour...but alas...
EDIT: And I come back to this post to say that even if she did all these things, even if she monetized the past and made new content... I don't know if I would even buy it. After 2020, after everything... Anything EA I buy (which is rare), I buy second hand. I archive everything so it can't be erased—not to immortalize it in idolization. But there's also the element of nostalgia in it all. The personal feelings I have attached to the blog... Hm.
I am so sorry if this has been asked before but, I seem to recall around the time of FLAG's release or leading up to it, EA released an instrumental for The Key in a post or news update thingy and I can no longer find it for the life of me. Do you happen to have it or know where to find it?
I posted it recently, so you're in luck! :)
It's only a portion of the song, but it is instrumental.
Do you have maybe any pics of Emilie when she had pink hair in 2011? Not sure how long she even had that pink dye on but that seemed so short before she suddenly went blonde and switched her style 180 degrees. I've seen maybe 2 photos of that last Opheliac tour/pink hair era
Here's some! In different shades.
And here's some from tour, but she also had what looks like extensions in her updo for these (and is also blonder beneath).
