Here's a new batch of designs for your fairy kei needs !

I've made more designs inspired by real life fairy kei clothes ! You can find my inspirations under the cut.

I really like the Shiny Star collection, and I hope you'll have fun with those designs too !

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you save/use those designs ! ✿

The Shiny Star collection was inspired by this Diccha X Prismatic Pastel design :

I really loved its vibes but I unfortunately couldn't incorporate the menace elements.

The Dotty Puppy cap was inspired by this sweater :

I've just realized it's from Milklim... Oof, well since you can no longer buy it IRL, you can get a similar cap in New Horizons, at least.

I have finished my ACNH island after 2 years! It took that long because of my chronic pain but I did it. If you want to check it out here is the code with little story I wrote for it:

DA-5008-9964-1571

Dear Observer,

I've heard many stories about this town in the underground community of the supernatural and occult. I had to dig deep for this knowledge, but rumors say plants here never die even if you don't water them for months, not only do they not die, but multiply quickly, some even grow as tall as houses! There have been strange sightings of orbs of light trying to lead people to the forest, those who do leave the forest as stranger people. I've even heard accounts of beautifully erie music coming from the woods, but most people are too frightened to investigate. Some have even claimed to see little people living in the woods. And the last warning i recived from the residents was that if i found food unattended, i should NEVER eat it, lest the spirits take me away to their world forever. As you can imagine, I was intrigued to say the least.

It is said that this was once a bustling town, growing more each day, but just as the population started growing, bad things started happening to the buildings and the residents. It's driven away most of the population. The only people who stay claim that the more they allow the town to be overrun by nature, the less bad things happen to them. Some residents claim that the spirits of the forest are the ones behind the town staying underdeveloped, and these residents leave offerings at a stone altar to appease them and keep them from destroying their homes and in hopes they'll be gifted with good fortune. Near the altar you can find a bamboo tree with wishes written buy the residents on ribbons tied to the branches.

I've accepted a job at this island to be their park ranger at their forest reserve. As an occultist this town was fascinating, It is truly a liminal space, the whole town feels like a dream, a very peaceful but strange one. I'm not the only one who's been attracted by the strangeness of this town, a scientist who goes by the name Petri also recently moved here to conduct research. The locals advise us that if we plan on conducting research we should try to be extremely respectful to the land around us, or else something might go terribly wrong. But out of all the information I've gathered from they residents, the last information i received is the strangeness by far: people who have never heard of this island, who have never even seen pictures of it, have vivid dreams of it and later learn it exists in reality...

Sincerely,

The Seeker

Hello astral travelers

It seems you have stumbled across a fabled land

As your guide it is my duty to tell you the purpose of your dream:

See the the boarders of nature and man blend and soften

See what occurs when you listen to this Earth

What secrets lie in the space in-between a dream and the song of trees

The voice of Gods that echo in the wind

Oh what peace you may learn

By allowing chaos to run its rightful course

Who shall you be on this adventure?

The weary traveler, are they always lost or always finding new ways?

The wishful bard, will they find new friends or keep searching?

The lantern keeper, will they find their reason to keep their flame going?

The eternal child, how will they continue to keep their childlike wonder?

The magician, will the ingredients they harvest for their most powerful spell finally work?

Take this adventure slowly, mindfully, ask why you are here, what do you wish to learn? Will what you learned help you beyond the realm of dreams?

Good luck, little ones.

Annotating Fiction Books

Here is a Link to my annotating non-fiction post

Step one for annotating is always knowing your purpose. 

For example Someone who is annotating fiction for use in their literature class and someone who is annotating their favorite novel are going to annotate in very different ways.

Your purpose can be as simple as highlighting/tagging quotes that you like or as complex as showcasing evidence for a paper you are writing about the book. Most of my suggestions will be for those annotating for pleasure rather than for class work.

The second step is gathering your supplies.

For physical books this can be highlighters, pens, sticky notes, page flags, index cards, the book/Text For digital books this will include your device of choice (might do an in-depth post of digital texts later)

Depending on how in depth you want to be with your annotating you may wish to create a key, this can be remembered in your head, or written down in the book (or on a sticky note, index card, or reading log). Your key should be based around your purpose (as determined in step 1)

And honestly that’s all there is to it.

Here are some ideas of things to track while reading and things that I do for annotating bellow.

Using highlighters or tags to color code for different types of info (quotes, plot points, bits of the story you want to remember , funny bits, etc.)

Matching tab/highlighter colors to the books cover

Writing comments around the text (in margins, sticky notes, index cards, reading journal)

Keep track of quotes that inspire you. For me this means highlighting well written lines.

Copying quotes and Writing in a reading log to avoid damaging (borrowed) books (you can also use sticky notes if you like the feeling of writing in books. They also make clear sticky notes so u can highlight or write on top of text without hurting your books)

Using highlighters and an index card (or your reading journal) to keep a timeline, track lore, or explore the universe

Use symbols and shorthand to make annotating quicker

And remember you decide what is and isn’t appropriate for your books. You decide what is too much or too little annotating (but also keep future you in mind. don’t make future you distracted by all the annotations on your next reread, if you get distracted by these types of things, I find that if I over annotate it takes me out of the story on future rereads)
