hyahime presents: J-Fash ghosts of the past - DOLLY-KEI.

not at all connected to the 'living doll' stereotype, "dolly" is merely the popular name of a style related to cult party kei and mori kei.

The pioneer for this fashion scene was the store Grimoire, which featured clothes and accessories antique dolls would only dream of wearing. Vintage, haunting and more mature than you'd expect, dolly-kei was heavily inspired by eastern european aesthetics.

The style was most popular around 2010.

Come with me and explore the tombs of this no longer active style.

What caused it to fall off?

perhaps the same reason for its initial popularity: dolly gained attention for having a little bit in common with a lot of other jfash styles. Many lolitas were interested, and some goths realized they liked certain elements too. With the lack of guidelines and specific rules, the freedom that made it possible for so many subcultures to enjoy dolly also made it lack defining features. It became harder to say what was dolly instead of mori, goth or lolita.

F Yeah Lolita wrote, in 2010:

"As the style is much less defined as Lolita is, as well as being very new, it's difficult to pinpoint what exactly makes something Dolly Style. It's a little bit Lolita, a little bit Mori, and a little bit Gothic. The skirt length ranges from full length to very hip mini skirts."

From the style's livejournal community, we see the same concern in december:

When seeing discussions of grimoire and dolly, I saw the tights being mentioned a lot.

But the hats, tessels and furs stood out to me more.

In 2015, Grimoire's 7th birthday party showed little signs of these traits spotted earlier, which had helped make dolly 'unique'.

Most of the fashion was gothic, girly.. but not specifically dolly. Or maybe it was.

I tried going to the grimoire webpage but it's down and this post is getting long: i'll tell you where this ends.

Grimoire is now focused in a more mature audience and it has been reported that their clothes are more 'normie' and mainstream-like.

A man will die, but not his ideas: in harajuku, many designers and fashionistas have been spotted in mori-like clothes with tassels and tights and cream coords that look like an old doll's.

The last mention of dolly in tokyofashion.com is 2019.

Eastern European Barty. Barty who lives in a trashy apartment with a broken heating system. Barty who is a chain smoker. Maniac grinning Barty. Barty getting fucked by Evan in an abandones house between dirt, broken glass and graffiti. Barty who makes shitty music. Barty who deals drugs to have enough money for his addiction. Barty who has a communism flag on his balcony to make his father ashamed of him. Barty who works in coffee shops that look like theyre about to fall together. Barty who wears goth makeup. Barty who has tapestries on his walls. Barty whose curtains have moth holes in them, through which the sunlight makes its way into his flat. Barty who owns carpets that you would only see at your grandma's. Barty who tattoos himself and his friends next to the bathroom sink.

team present propaganda

from someone who loves anthropology!

The present doesn’t mean we will stay here. There are new worlds Nintendo can make

To add to point one. There are several cultures that would do well in the splatoon world. Polynesian cultures, African cultures, southern European, Caucasus, middle eastern etc. imagine exploring a world inspired by the cultures found in Nigeria or listening to music inspired by Arabic pop and traditional music

i would love if it was akin to gen 5 Pokémon. More of a soft reboot with new characters, maps, and even some new weapon kits.

More subcultures can be explored, you can also say the same thing with team past with 80s goth and punk.

im just a sucker for world building and seeing how more cultures survived. The idea of a future inkopolis and splatlands sounds cool. I can’t lie. But NINTENDO! DROP AN IDOL GROUP BASED ON WEST AFRICAN CULTURES! AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

Bugs!! Do you have a favourite??

~@monty-glasses-roxy

BEES. BEES. BEES. BEES. BEES.

i'm historically partial to honeybees (my weird symbol thing is literally called the apis after their genus) but they're a problematic fave, a lot of them are SO SO SO fucking invasive and they're stealing from native bees, both their habitats and publicity (when you look up save the bees, guess whose european mug shows up?) 💔

BUT. AHH. HONEY BEES ARE SO COMPELLING IN THEIR CARE AND THEIR INTELLIGENCE... they have units of measurement (themselves, called festooning) the way they communicate through dance, they percieve time, hold grudges, remember faces, their genetics are insane and their hive structures are fascinating, it's so. AHHH!!!! HONEYBEES!!!! SEND THEIR STRIPED ASSES BACK TO THE EASTERN HEMISPHERE BUT WHEN YOU DO.. OOOOOH. SWOON AT THEM WHEN THEY'RE WHERE THEY BELONG!

But in general. EVERY BEE. every bee is so so wonderful i love bee.

blue banded bees, whose males sleep like???? this??????????????? while their women actually sleep in burrows like normal fucking organisms

valley carpenter bees who have wonderful sexual dimorphism... big goth women and golden retriever men...

VULTURE BEES... OOH. yeah alright they eat dead things SO DO WE... LOOK AT THEIR MF HIVES?!?!? WHAT IS THIS. ACtually, most stingless bee hives look insane ofc i love the beeautiful hexagon just like everyone else but this is just insane

i love spiders but man i've always been one for birds and bees. haha sex joke but also /srs

Bros, the ideas that circulate in canon and fanon around eastslavic siblings really seem strange to me.

It is strange to expect a japanese man to be well versed in the intricacies of eastern european history of the early and high Middle Ages, but to expect this from an english-speaking fandom (mostly northamerican, let's face it) is also, it seems to me, pointless.

Let me explain. "Kievan Rus" is an artificial construct adopted from russian imperial/soviet historians. Moreover, it’s not just a matter of the name, as, you know, the late Rhomean Republic is called the “Byzantine Empire”, it’s just that there was LITERALLY no such state as “Kievan Rus”. In the space approximately from the Baltic and White to the Black Seas, there were numerous proto-urban and urban settlements of slavic, finno-ugric and baltic (as well as other) tribes, which entered into alliances with each other, sometimes quite strong, but still remained isolated. Of course, it would be disingenuous to say that since the beginning of time the urban educated population did not develop some kind of common identity… for some time.

But if we talk about actually existing cultural regions, determined by geography and economics, then, in fact, it is worth highlighting Northern (Novgorod) Rus' and Southern (Kievan Rus' itself), in a very simplified scheme. One of them was tied to the countries around the Baltic Sea, like the scandinavians, the baltic tribes and northgerman cities, as well as the slavs of modern East Germany. The other constantly encountered nomads, “Byzantine Empire" and, to a lesser extent, the western and southern Slavs (and magyars!). They were never able to truly become a unified state.

Of course, this is a simplification, because in addition to the Rurikids in the North, who subjugated the South and over time moved there (while the south over time began to separate itself, in particular, into the Novgorod Republic), there was a separate center in Polotsk and some others, but it approximately reflects the essence and, if I were asked about personifications, then I would make two separate MAIN personifications for Rus', Novgorod in the North (male) and Kiev in the South (female), which would be the parents of the future Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.

But if you asked me in even more detail, then Belarus should stand a little aside. You know, in fact, historically it is more archaic and “stagnant” than Ukraine in the south and Russia in the northeast. Did you know that lithuanians called belarusians an ethnonym derived from the name goths lol? Plus, genetically and partly culturally, belarusians, like some poles, are closer to the baltic peoples, and not to the rest of the slavs. Taking into account the independent center of statehood in Polotsk, independent of the Rurikids, I would say that Belarus DEFINITELY must be older than Russia (which in the strict sense could only have been born as the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality/North-Eastern Rus' with more ancient names, let’s not clutter the text ) and POSSIBLY older than Ukraine. Perhaps she is an adopted child.

Of course, in reality we have many problems in studying the region for objective reasons, such as a lack of written sources, but… I still love Eastern Europe, these are my roots, after all. And it's really interesting.

Top 5 worst Richard outfits? 😈😈😈

You know, I love this man with all my heart but it's kind of sad that after I read your ask, I had instantly 3 outfits in my mind, over the span of maybe 5 seconds. So this says a lot of his fashion sense off stage

No particular order, because let's face it, these are all hideous and acid attacks on our retinas (Richard I love you :*)

We start tamely in this gig tonight with an outfit some might disagree on, but I just... can't bring myself to like his cyborg/outer space/serving cunt-outfit, it looks uncomfortable for his boobies and just...looks like a medical corsett:

Now we get saucy: His outfit at the premiere of "Rammstein in America". The outfit itself is giving cute hot topic goth, but as an ensemble with his haircut it's just unfortunate:

His 'pattern from old 70s eastern european curtain-shirt-phase', and then on top of everything the whole thing is apparently made out of satin???:

Of course, this fucking abomination (I call this his 'reassuring good luck-travel-outfit', just to have an explanation for it):

Not so much the outfit (totally normal, good looking stage outfit, eventhough I'm not the biggest fan of those sleeve things), but that hair was truly a hate crime:

And the hair cut in combination with this fucking Where's Waldo shirt is just awful, like my dude, we know now where Waldo is, but where's your fashion sense? The troops are still out searching

Conclusion:

[thenightling]

Wednesday is NOT a rip-off of Harry Potter

This is something that I thought should be obvious. In fact I could swear I wrote a post like this over a year ago but apparently (if I had made such a post) it is lost now. So here's the new one. Lately I've seen a fresh spike in people insisting that the Netflix series Wednesday is a "rip off" of Harry Potter. "It the aesthetic is Harry Potter!" Really? How? Do you think Harry Potter was the first and only school to be a haunted castle? I guess you don't remember Gravedale High (animated series from 1990). Much like the modern Monster High, Gavedale high was a show about a school of monsters.

Before Gravedale High there was the animated TV movie Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School (1988) where Shaggy got a job as a PE teacher at a boarding school for the daughters of the classic movie monsters. This, very likely, inspired Monster High.

And before that there was the book series The Worst Witch and the first TV movie inspired by the books, which featured a song number from Tim Curry. This was about a little girl attending Witch School.

If we go back even further the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker has Van Helsing suggest that Dracula attended Scholomance (translates to "School of Magic") which has its roots in Eastern European folklore and helped inspire Yennefer's backstory in The Witcher. All of these pre-date Harry Potter. "But the students are divided into groups just like in Harry Potter." Yeah. So? "Houses" are a tradition in boarding schools in the UK and parts of the US. Also Nevermore Academy in Wednesday is mostly populated by supernatural entities that divide up in cliques based on what species the student is. You're going to tell me your school didn't have cliques? Jocks, nerds, Goths, rich kids, bad boys, etc. I'm not sure how a boarding school setting can even be done without dividing up into factions. You'd have to make a conscious effort to avoid it and it would come off as very awkward and unnatural. Harry Potter isn't as original as you seem to think it is. "But the uniforms have stripes." Okay, I'll let you have that one but the stripes and color patterns are different. The plotline of season 1 of Wednesday is closer to the live action Monster High musical movie (but with a more serious tone) than anything else. In the first Monster High live action movie the main villain turns out to be a teacher who is also a Hyde monster. In Wednesday the main villain is a teacher who is manipulating a Hyde Monster.

And both deal with classic monsters in a boarding school setting and allegories of prejudice.

And then you get the annoying argument from fake Addams Family fans of "But Wednesday didn't have any powers in the original." Oh, on the contrary. The new show says she inherited psychic abilities from Morticia. Morticia telling fortunes, sensing things, and even using a crystal ball comes up in the 1960s Addams Family TV series. Grandmama uses a crystal ball in the 90s Addams Family animated series. The 1970s Addams Family Halloween special has it that the spirit of Halloween / Anthropomorphic personification of Halloween "Uncle Shy" (implied to be the Great Pumpkin or you can retroactively say he was Jack Skellington or Sam from Trick 'r Treat). When your Uncle is literally the spirit of Halloween your family can have whatever you want in it. Wednesday even uses telepathy at one point in the 2019 Addams family animated movie franchise. And there's a conga line of Addams Family member ghosts in The Addams Family Broadway musical. They have a pet sentient hand. And no. It's not just that "Their Goth game is that good." Finally, I don't think there's a student at Nevermore Academy who is younger than sixteen. Hogwarts starts at age eleven. Twenty-one-year-old Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) doesn't look much like eleven-year-old to seventeen-year-old Daniel Radcliffe to me.

Stop giving J. K. Rowling so much credit.

so so few things in the world that bring me as much joy as seeing those old pictures of eastern european goths ca. 2000s. nobody's doing it like them anymore tbh.
