⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 2000's Night Routine˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

Hey, angels! I hope today has been a good one. I am currently very tired from finals week. I wanted a cute night routine so, I created one for us to share. I usually start my night routine after dinner. enjoy!

Hygiene

Hygiene is a part of self-care. wash your face, brush your teeth and hair. Take a shower if you don't in the morning. stay clean and fresh!

Change into pjs

put on your cutest pj set. It is important that we sleep cute and comfortable.

Stretch

Pretend you're a ballerina, if you want to romanticize it. stretching will help you sleep better. It is a great way to wind down after a long day.

Paint your nails

Take time to paint your nails. while you're at it you can call your BFF or watch your fav show. Who doesn't want cute nails!?

Watch your fav show

My favorite shows are Pretty little liars and The Vampire Diaries. what are your favorite shows? Get cozy!

Read and/or journal

My favorite things to read are magazines and rom-coms. Tell me in the comments what your favorite thing to read is. While reading or journaling light a candle. Set the mood.

sleep like an angel!

XOXO, E

Ramble Thoughts on 3D ft. Jack Harlow:

- Feels like 3D is something that would have come out in 2006? I’m not mad about it but it does feel like Gen Z is taking this whole Y2K revival thing too seriously 🥹 like y’all have some big Air Force Ones to fill and I’d rather see a fresher take but okay

- Speaking of Nelly people are acting like they’ve never heard a rapper objectify a woman before and it’s kind of odd. I think maybe people haven’t listened to Jack Harlow before if they’re surprised by the contents of his verse. I’m not saying we can’t ask for more or expect more but the shock I’m seeing is kind of strange.

- JK does not sound that good...? To me. It seems like he’s maybe in too high of a register? Or maybe it’s too many minor chords for me. Not that he can’t hit the notes effortlessly but it’s just not a pleasant register to me? This is a song I can see getting stuck in my head in an annoying way and not a “omg I have to listen to it again turn it on” way, which is a bummer.

- I love the dancing, and the fire hydrant bit at the end was very cool visually.

- This whole thing reminds me strongly of some of Pharrell’s more controversial hits in the mid-aughts, especially Blurred Lines. Except… Blurred Lines was a better song 😬😬😬 if you’re gonna talk about women like they’re pleasure dolls in 2023, at least make sure your song is unusually good. Just my humble opinion.

- I think objectification is an interesting topic and we could go on about it, but some of the shocked and horrified responses I’m seeing on Twitter are from NSFW fan fiction writers (of which I am one full transparency) and artists and there is a blatant hypocrisy in that that I find somewhat amusing. Like. Very few of us are truly innocent of ever sexually objectifying someone else and let’s just be honest about that. Not to mention the objectification of Jung Kook’s every body part that has been happening recently, even up to as recently as the promotions for this specific song. Like… hang on a minute. We can all collectively drool over and go feral for and zoom in on his shirtless chest and talk about his waist and his nipples and his belly button but… god forbid he shares a song with someone doing the same thing? Idk maybe I’m oversimplifying.

- The “girl”!! Oh, people are gonna be mad. Why can’t he always only ever sing his songs to a faceless genderless “you”?! Because A) he is not writing these songs and requesting a gender change to a song that someone else wrote would be a declaration. B) I’ve said it before but it’s entirely possible he is into women. Again, he didn’t write this one but in a recent performance he did intentionally swap out a pronoun that he could have skipped and so let’s not make too much of it but let’s also not ignore him over and over again for the sake of our own beliefs. Not with bi visibility day still in the rear view 🥲 C) His behavior toward and about Jimin has not changed so I have not changed my attitude toward their relationship. Simple as that. D) he did not write this song. If he is queer he is closeted. Chill out.

- I want more for him, I’ll just say it! Lol. I think he has so much musical potential and right now it feels like we’re just waiting for him to actually come into it. But I do love the choreography, the boy band vibes, the confidence. I think I’m appreciating Left and Right more and more as time goes on; that seemed like a really excellent creative fit and the concept was so fun. But maybe I’m projecting my wishes onto him. It’s his career, not mine 😅 he is his own person, he doesn’t owe me a damn thing.

That’s all for now, just sort of felt like word vomiting this morning instead of doing anything productive. Would love to hear others’ thoughts!

Hi!

3. Do you feel your age?

7. Which fashion trends did you love?

8. Which fashion trends did you hate?

Hey hey!

3. Do you feel your age?

HELL NO I feel 20 at most. Maybe 21?? Not 23 lmfao and being 23 so far has been weird. This whole year was weird tbh. Too many downs and a few very high ups. Also the idea that next year I turn 24 sickens me and terrifies me. However when I was in France and chatting with new people from all over the world, I realised most people in my age range (and probably everyone in general) feel at least 2-3 years younger than they actually are due to COVID, given many countries had restrictions and lockdowns either continuously or frequently over a three-year period or so. So that explains the not being able to register my actual age, at least partially.

7. Which fashion trends did you love?

It's funny bc usually I hate the current fashion trends but this year I felt like I was actually aligning w them by chance?? I loooooooved the dark feminine trends (including makeup) really catching fire. And the old money looks, and also the long black winter coats. Gorgeous. The chunky heeled Mary Jane shoes was also a trend I adored (and actually participated in lmao).

8. Which fashion trends did you hate?

Hmm I'm sure there were many but oddly enough I can't think of any rn?? Maybe some of the Y2K revival but not all of it? I thought some of it was a vibe. There was one person (influencer tbh rip) I followed on ig and their style changed a lot - I really dislike it now (I think it's hideous actually and imma say that out loud - their hair doesn't suit them, they wear clothes at least five sizes too big for them and they can't pull off the look at all, some colours they wear a lot look gaudy on them or don't complement their natural appearance...) but hey whatever makes one happy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Tbh idk why I still follow them - I don't find any of their content interesting and haven't for ages.

In terms of makeup (adding makeup bc sometimes that helps bring a fashion look together) however I do find the over-blush kinda clownish lmao - mind you I didn't see much of it in Ireland or France (the parts I was in, at least). It can be cute but you gotta know what you're doing. And I've never liked freckles so doing the faux freckles on the face never made sense to me - but that was more 2022 and maybe early 2023 I think? I'll update if I can think of fashion specifically.

Thank you for asking!! <333 Sorry for the long answer ahahaha -_-" :P

2023 fashion predictions!!!!!

(Note: I do not have a fashion degree. But i'm usually ahead of the curb w these things.) 

We are going to continue to see this super tumblr-grunge “rockstar’s gf” aesthetic throughout the rest of december with a touch of “city girl/lana del rey” and “winter y2k” vibe. (suede, mary janes, black tights / white fluffy knee-high boots, cropped puffer jackets, hello kitty..) I could see this morphing into a rus-core (weird ass name but im not sure what else 2 call it IM SO SORRY.) brutalist vibe- black monochromatic fits, big boots, cyber vibes mixed with a distinctly “vintage” vibe. But the 80’s are more “in” than ever, so it wouldn’t shock me if we leaned more towards an 80s-90s grunge/mall goth look either. 

As winter comes to an end, the Tumble Girl (™) has it’s chance to absolutely BLOW UP. I could see us reverting right back to 2014 tumblr with maybe hints of 2020 cottage core during spring. (I think a nostalgia for 2020 is going to happen sometime in the future, where people start to miss the creative freedom 2020 gave us and we bring back those fashion trends in full-force- and though I can’t guarantee it will happen at the start of 2023, I definitely believe it will happen in the next year or two) 

During the end of spring/start of summer, there's going to be a new “aesthetic” with maximalism/cyber y2k/manic-pixie-dream-girl vibes. Big, chunky plastic/resin jewelry, lots of silver (eye shadow, boots, skirts), chunky boots/shoes, fun hairstyles with lots of colorful hair clips/beads, big futuristic sunglasses, sportswear inspired jackets/tops. Sort of like a cyber-y2k revival of the retro futurist aesthetic in the 60s. 

If you want fit ideas for any of the upcoming eras lmk I can put a pinterest board 2gether ! dont take this as gods word pls- im probably right but dont place ur bets on it. Also, following trends isnt important- do what you want. I just thought this could b interesting :P

ROBERTO CAVALLI FALL-WINTER 2023

here’s a verbal translation of this seasons cavalli: low-waisted statement trousers, sheer pixie pieces, tasteful FUR, skinny scarves, midwestern leather and tassels, ‘70s tailoring, PLUNGING v-necks, distressed denim and (to no one’s surprise) the perennial trademark cavalli range of animal prints.

if you look closely, you’ll find boho-staple details of oxidised silver and turquoise in not only the jewellery but some trouser buttons and shoe embellishments too. these midwestern adornments have roots in native american culture along with the majority of the recognisable bohemian style. the opening looks are giving scorched in the midwest desert sun with their charred and terra-cotta textiles while the closing gothic-corpse fairies align perfectly with the 2023 trend prediction of floral mesh and sheer lattice fabrics. i feel like this collection is very reminiscent of versace ss23, only it’s cavalli at coachella.

NO COMPLAINTS. i am obsessed. it is an honour to confirm that the italian fashion house has JOINED IN (consciously or not) on the global revival scene of peak early 2000s couture, following in the successful resurrected footsteps of blumarine, dsquared2 and jean paul gaultier. another phenomenal collection to add to the y2k renaissance of the current fashion realm. the unveiling of this show had me SCREAMING after spending the last couple of years yearning over vintage cavalli trousers online. i was excited for milan fashion week but i did not expect this! THANK YOU, fausto puglisi, you did not disappoint.

[cyborgbuddy]

the thing with the revival of y2k aesthetics / fashion / culture and how it relates to gen-z “posers” is that all revival movements are pretty inherently poser-y relative to the original thing. like i could say “80% of you motherfuckers wouldn’t use limewire to download music and wouldn’t bother with an ipod shuffle” and i might be right but it doesn’t really matter because in 2023 better more convenient options exist and also lots of other things are very different, we’re not coming out of the 90s, we’re coming out of the 2010s

It's funny that I returned to Tumblr to post this Yabanverse worldbuilding stuff and got around to the Gosamyrs, considering that the entire idea of the Gosamyrs was rooted in Tumblr culture of the 2010s

If you've been here since the mid-2010s, you probably remember all the æｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ (美的) posting that was popular then as Zillennials discovered the magical world of 80s retrowave/New Wave punk/Outrun/90s vaporwave/Memphis aesthetics. Remember that time the 2010s wanted so desperately to be the 1980s? Things like the retro anime aesthetic, side-shaved haircuts, synthwave music, VHS aesthetics, Japanese city pop, and Mom Jeans were deliberate attempts to bring back certain parts of the 80s. To some extent, that "Zoomers Discover the 80s Existed" nostalgia wave never really ended; it just became oversaturated, and now everyone's all about the Y2K and Frutiger Aero aesthetics.

But the Yabanverse formally got its start in December 2017, and in trying to make my "Legally Not Saiyans" in the form of Yabans, I figured very early on that I wanted to heavily invoke 80s aesthetics, partially because the Saiyans already were doing that (again, take 80s aerobics and fitness freaks, cross that with Battlestar Galactica-tier sci-fi samurai armor, get some glam hair straight out of the LA Strip and the Batcave, and put a monkey tail on it with a society fit for an anime OVA, and you have the OG Saiyans). However, Yabans and Planet Kollidor in general were aiming more to ape (badumtish) the look of 80s heavy metal, with its airbrushed desert chrome, steel and leather, blood and thunder post-apocalyptic hell-riding road warriors, big muscles and big egos of early/mid 80s British heavy metal, power metal, and thrash metal, the kind of stuff you'd see in Heavy Metal magazine or some Rambo/Commando/Predator/Conan-esque video game cover-art made by a Frank Frazetta-clone. You know, the part of the 80s the 2010s was conveniently not interested in reviving.

But the Saiyans were contrasted by the Freeza Force and their ilk, and I did quite enjoy the likes of Zarbon and Jeice especially, with their fruity-colored skin and aggressively flamboyantly 80s style of fashion, and decided to run with them specifically to create the Gosamyrs.

The Gosamyrs, to be fair, were already a thing from another story of mine, essentially a "Vaporwave Skyrim" story on a planet that was essentially the standard pseudomedieval European fantasy world that somehow reached the equivalent of the 1980s (and the 1780s for the Gosamyrian elite). So instead of Elves being treehugging archers and Orcs being green-skinned chimps in the wastelands, these elves were synth-pop glammy hypercapitalists and the Orcs were denim and leather road warriors.

For fun, I crossed these with the Not!Dragon Ball that was the Yabanverse at the time, and when the Yabanverse returned to being a DBZ AU in 2023, they came along, though admittedly the Gosamyrs are a bit redundant if Zarbon's race and the Brench-seijin actually do exist in the Yabanverse (even if they're a Universe 23 variant)

I've yet to do something more with the Rongo and Kusurian, but the latter actually is as old as the Yabanverse itself, back during the proto-Yabanverse. Kusurians essentially being excessively strong martial humans, who may even be the precursors of the Saiyans themselves (as well as several other races in the universe) insofar as they possess a "primordial form of Super Saiyan"

It was always a deliberate play on a Toriyama-style villainous race, and it actually fit in with Super somewhat by accident when there was a mention that Universe 6 Earth was destroyed by warfare and terror. The Kusurians essentially super-ancient Earthlings exiled after some forgotten war in the distant past to outer space, and their empire seeks to return to Earth to re-establish Earthling domination. So the fanfic concept was that Son Goku and friends have to face off against space-Earthlings who gather the people of Earth to their side, essentially putting the conflict squarely in the realm of "you have to defeat the same people you dedicated your lives to protecting"

And when the Super reference to U6 Earth was made (this was around the time of the U6 Tournament arc, right before Goku Black), that then evolved into "U6 Earthlings were foolishly resurrected by the Super Dragon Balls because of Champa's gluttony without factoring in the context of why they exterminated themselves, and it turns out U6 Earth is essentially the same as U7 Vegeta (the planet, not the Saiyan), complete with a scene of Planet Sadala being invaded by a pair of ridiculously strong Earthlings, and Cabba has to go to Vegeta (the Saiyan, not the planet) for help"

Adapting it to the Yabanverse shifted it even moreso, since it's not set in the same universal stream as the DB-verse, so technically the Kusurians could exist there, but the ones in the Yabanverse are different and based far more heavily on "50s googie" or "space age/raygun" aesthetics to play off the Yabans (80s heavy metal/fantasy), the Gosamyrs (80s glam/retrowave), and the Narakans (90s/early 2000s edgelord/nü metal). Earth in Universe 23 is probably not their actual homeworld goal either.

'Within eight minutes of joining TikTok, children as young as 13 were being served content related to eating disorders'

The article discusses a concerning resurgence of unhealthy body image content on social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, reminiscent of diet culture trends from the early 2000s. Despite a positive shift toward body positivity and improved awareness of health over the past decade, the author notes a recent surge in influencers promoting crash diets, flat tummy teas, and fasted workouts as part of a new year health rush.

The Center For Countering Digital Hate's report reveals that mainstream platforms, including TikTok, are serving unhealthy content related to eating disorders within minutes of user engagement. The influx of such content is alarming, especially for individuals struggling with eating disorders or body image issues. The rise in diet culture messaging is observed alongside a broader Y2K revival in culture, evident in the return of aesthetics associated with dangerously thin bodies.

Social media algorithms, particularly on TikTok, contribute to the dissemination of dieting content by recommending similar videos, creating a cycle of exposure. This resurgence of diet culture adopts the language of the body positivity movement, presenting damaging diets and detoxes as forms of self-care and mental health maintenance. Influencers promote objectively unhealthy practices, such as extreme diets and fasted workouts, often accumulating millions of views.

The article concludes by warning that this shift may mark the beginning of a new era for the diet industry, resembling the pernicious weight loss culture and obsession with thinness that defined the turn of the century. The trend raises concerns about the potential impact on body image, particularly among younger audiences exposed to this content on social media platforms.
