love when hyperfixations make you question cosplans 🥴

It's the same media but a different person. Like i was so dead-set on Robin but because I've seen so many Argenti cosplays recently I wanna do him now.

Not even trying to make his armor just like. A pseudo closet cosplay w/ the Nameless Bard shirt, my black boots, an old rose prop I have.. and then figure out the pants, corset belt, and wig styling.

But there's still Robin,, and I literally Just bought a yard of lace fabric to make her blouse (this is my reference) 💔

[bismuthburnsblue]

today im cutting out for Janet! ive already cut 7 of the skirt panels last night, so i just need 3 more! i think i am going to put pockets into this, though i doubt the functionality of them as its not got a ton of flate. im going to mirror half a skirt panel to do them, i think! that way if i do use them theyll be completely anchored in on every edge.

I dont think Janets skirt would have a waistband, buuuuut i feel like doing one anyway & you wont see it, so! its been a while since ive done myself a waistband the way i love to so im really looking forward to that !!!

&&&&& i think. i am going to finish the hem with a facing. but we will see.

zayne's 'special' tutorial:

Content: Brat taming, consesual, overstimulation, public spaces & eating out.

Note: This is just after the new card that has been released "Exclusive Tutorial" cause I got it and I got a lil feral for it. It's not proofreader.

Just after you playfully untied his tie, Zayne's eyes glistened, focusing on your pretty lips. He had been trying so hard to focus on helping you learn since you asked so prettily but you were starting to rile him up far too much, god, his old classmates were just a few meters away, didn't you have some shame?

But he played cool, allowing you to pass your hands through his body, even through his crotch, naughty hands caressing his whole body while he tried to contain himself, but when you kept on touching him for a little too long his last nerve broke. Taking your hands and getting way too close to your face "Naughty student... are you trying to get me mad so I can put you in your place?" Your face started to heat up, his hands felt cold against your skin and his breath was hitting your ear as he whispered to your ear. His breath having a slight smell of the whisky that he had shared with his friends during the meeting. You looked at him sheepishly, giving him puppy eyes as an attempt to get him to let you go despite you had been trying the whole meeting to make him feel hot and bothered.

Despite your silent pleas, Zayn didn't let you go, his hands switched to your waist, putting a little pressure on them as you tried to squirm your way out. His cold hands slowly made their way through your soft blouse, sending shivers all through your body. "Cat got your tongue? It seems to me that you're no longer acting like a brat, but since you've been acting like one the whole meeting let me teach you how a brat should be tamed." Without saying anything else he used his Evol, locking the door of the room and taking you to the table that was close to the pool one. Allowing you to sit on it, he slowly took off your blouse, the cold air hitting your chest and causing you to let a soft unsatisfied noise, he let a small smile out, putting his hands on top of your breasts and caressing them softly, pinching and flicking them with no force, just causing you to flinch due to the cold and the pleasure that was starting to build up. At the same time, his leg was resting in between your legs, moving his leg against your crotch with caution, avoiding you to feel any pain from it, but also causing you to flinch even more. He suddenly stopped, moving away from you and looking at your whole body as if he was seeing a full-course meal. "You're much prettier when you start to behave, dear." Just as you were about to complain he got closer to you, taking one of your nipples with his mouth and slowly moving his hand towards the one that was free, playing with both as he slowly moved his leg, soft moans leaving your mouth as he kept doing this for a few minutes, not allowing yourself to move even an inch. Just as you were about to hit him, as he kept sucking on your nipple without doing anything else, he once again moved, slowly getting rid of your skirt and tossing it on top of the pool table.

He started to make a path of kisses, starting in your chest and ending a little too close to your lower half. He kissed several times there, your underwear starting to feel a bit too wet for your taste. He chuckled, causing you to feel even more embarrased cause why would he laugh in a moment like this? He stopped your thoughts as he gently lowered your underwear, leaving it on the table. He left one of his hands on your thigh, while he took his glove with his mouth, once again tossing it to God knows where. "Fun is about to begin, are you ready?" You were about to complain when he suddenly lowered, his mouth way too close to your lower lips, his breath hitting your entrance and causing you to feel even more ashamed. He started by kissing it, peppering soft kisses through your intimate part but focusing particularly into that sensitive bulb of yours, even sucking on it and licking it despite your attempts to get him away from it. Your hands were on his hair, pulling from it and trying to move him even a little away from it, the feeling being too overwhelming for you to handle it. "Please Zayne, I won't do it! I'll stop acting like a brat! please, please..." Your pleas fell into deaf ears, as he kept going, eating you out as if he had been starving for years, his hands keeping your legs open and sometimes caressing your clit, causing you to let out cries of pleasure despite the great fear of someone hearing what was going on inside the room.

Just as your stomach was starting to build up pressure, feeling how you were about to cum into his pretty face he moved away, his tongue leaving your pretty cunt all shiny and reddened from all the stimulation it had been enduring. You almost cried, your lower half pulsating around nothing and your head a little too empty for you to make a coherent sentence, "Why... why did you stop? Zayne..." You took his shirt, pulling softly from it while he chuckled, getting up from the floor and acommodating his clothes while fetching yours.

"Oh, we were making too much noise, so I thought that we could keep this great 'tutorial' somewhere more... private, shall we?" While saying that he meticulously cleaned you up with some wet towels he had found in the nearby bathroom, he threw them out and took you, carefully helping you get dressed, your lower half still itching for release. As he let you go, your legs quivered a little, head still a bit foggy from that, he smiled, kissing your forehead and getting rid of the ice that was still blocking the door.

"I hope you have learnt something from today, darling."

[gay-questions]

clothing and passing: a guide

wanna look more masc or fem? this is the guide for you.

find out how to pass better, or just tips for looking better in the style you like!

my suggestions for looking more masc are:

. makeup guides! you can find lots of these online, and you can find ones that help you look more masculine in face shape and facial features. adding facial hair and piercings to the mix are optional, but are sometimes a really cute extra detail!

. if you're trying to look masc as someone who's AFAB, binders can be nice. it's possible to find cheap binders online, or look into organizations around you that donate them. you can also buy trans tape, which is basically like binding with tape. DO NOT BIND WITH TAPE/BANDAGES THAT AREN'T MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR BINDING. it can be very dangerous and damaging to your body. remember to take your binder off after a while, and make sure you get the right size!

. baggier shirts. this includes blouses, tank tops, sweaters, hoodies, jumpers, crewnecks, etc. baggyness helps with a masculine kind of look, and makes your chest look less large.

. I don't recommend skinny jeans/pants, because usually they accentuate curves in the body. instead, some of my favourites is cargo pants!

. masculine hair cuts don't have to be short! there are mullets, wolfcuts, and different kinds of masc hair cuts. if you like your hair how it is, though, and don't want to cut it, you can always just tie it in a ponytail/bun and hide it up in a tuque! 

wanna look feminine?

I've got you, bud.

. same for if you're trying to look more masc: there are lots of makeup tutorials online to make your face look more feminine. that can be in facial shape, or just some cute makeup looks that scream feminine.

. stuffing your shirt! buying bras with extra bra padding, and even sometimes socks will help your chest look larger.

. maxi skirts! they don't show too much skin and are nice and flowy, and honestly a quite gender neutral article of clothing. you can style them with belts and chains, and there are lots of difrrent styles and colours.

. cardigans, bracelets, necklaces, and any cute accessory! they always help and make your outfit more interesting.

. fem hair cuts can look like anything! that includes short, long, or a medium length. sometimes small braids help, and accesories like clips, twisting your hair, adding colours or streaks, and sometimes even beads and more!

I hope this helped and that you enjoyed it!

When I discovered that jirai kei was not just a style but a subculture I was very impressed but happy to finally understand why jirai kei was associated with mental illness or mentally illed characters like menhera chan or KAngel. I would like to ask, can people who don't actually have mental problems still dress in jirai kei? And what defines jirai kei clothing? Hope this reaches you!! ^^

Of course - regardless of me joking all the time about it, as long as you’re respectful to what jirai is and don’t try to invalidate actual jirais (who are mentally ill etc), you should wear whatever you want and whatever makes you happy. c: Jirai Kei is very popular as just a “fashion” right now and a lot of people who wear it, wear it just because is pretty but personally I think they are more “mass produced type (ryousangata - which isn’t obviously the same thing when it comes to the fashion, but they fit perfectly the definition or ryo rather than landmine type)” than Jirai Kei, but that’s on me.

What defines jirai clothing?

1. Color Palette

• Dominated by dark shades like black, deep purples, and dark reds, with occasional soft pinks or whites.

• The colors are supposed to give this creepy/cute vibe, mysterious and romantic.

2. Silhouettes and Layering

• Usually the coord will be a blouse + a skirt (not always tho, some jirai brands make shorts, long skirts, dresses etc, the brand that experiments the most is dearmylove imo.), they will usually just be in two colors -> one black + one lighter/dark. For example black and white, black and pink, black and red, black and purple.. but there are coords that are only black! (But it also depends on the specific item you’re wearing - some set up’s are just one colour and they can be even light blue with white, so I would say that what matters is what brand you’re wearing and stuff like accessories, makeup etc) -> it’s hard to describe the exact look of the clothes so I will just add pictures. (But there is bunch of videos on YouTube, I’m horrible at explaining this stuff but I try 😭)

3. Accessories

• accessories include chokers (or specific pieces from brands like VW) , platform shoes (especially bubbles ones), stockings, bows.

4. Makeup

• usually for someone to immediately recognise that you’re jirai will be the makeup -> pien makeup, this is the type of makeup that is supposed to make you look sad (cuz pien is facial expression that reminds of this emoji 🥺), like you’re about to cry, basically pleading face. Ofc I will post a little tutorial/reference, but there is a lot of tutorials from Japanese jirais that are amazing at it. I would say that contact lenses are also doing a lot when it comes to it!

5. Editing

It’s very much normal in jirai culture to edit your pictures heavily and add filters that are very very pink. But it’s not a thing you must do, but it nice to keep it in mind.

As I said, I’m not the best person when it comes to explaining the fashion itself so I would recommend just looking how jirai looks on other platforms and watch videos about it on YouTube! Especially to know the difference between jirai and ryo 🩷

The ultimate guide to being coquette as a hijabi girlie

Being a coquette hijabi is so hard because so many of the key motifs (mini skirts/more revealing clothing, the literal meaning of the word, for example) go against what we believe in. But it's not impossible. So here are my personal favorite ways to be a coquette girlie without compromising my faith! (p.s thank you to @augusttheicedcoffeeaddict for reminding me to post this hehe ily)

Also!!! No hate to the coquette girlies who do wear mini skirts etc.

The white maxi skirt  🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Mini skirts are a staple in so many coquette outfits and so many people will try to make you think maxi skirts aren't cute but they're just haters. A cute sweater + a pleated or tiered white maxi skirt + some crafty layering has been such a lifesaving formula for me. Blouses work great for this too. And the things you can put on top of a white maxi skirt are endless. Pretty blouses, mini dresses, sweaters, sweatshirts, even cute tshirts with long sleeved shirts underneath. Same goes for denim skirts. I'm looking for one right now and I can't find any I like, but once I do I'll be unstoppable.

Bowssss 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Bows. Bows are THE coquette accessory. And, thank god, you don't have to wear a mini skirt to wear bows!

Put them on literally everything. If you want to put them on your hijab, you can use a safety pin to put it on the back of your head, or you could do what I usually do, which is put them in my hijab pins. Depending on the size you can make it as subtle as you want. I have a pinterest tutorial here. (The pic on the left is me!)

Heart shaped sunglasses 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Another coquette/vintage americana staple you can wear!

Berets 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Same thing!

Fuzzy white earmuffs 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

These are SOSOSO perfect for winter. (pic on the left is me again heh)

At home 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

So far, this has all been stuff just in the context of going out in public. At home, I highly recommend doing you hair in a coquette way and wearing things you can only have on in front of family. It's such a confidence booster. It's a bit of effort but it's so so worth it!

Her bedroom is the window into the girl's soul 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

The coquette aesthetic is way more than just the clothes and hair. So if you really want to feel coquette, try and make your room as coquette as possible. Put up some coquette posters on your wall. A lot of coquette posters are haramcore and some people don't like putting up faces on their wall, so here are some really cute pics for inspo :3

What's in your bag? 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Purses can make or break a good outfit. My biggest tip is to match them to your hijab. It pulls it all together. The last thing you want is for your hijab to feel like it's clashing with the rest of the outfit.

What's inside is important too! Inner beauty isn't just for living things. Keep whatever essentials you already have, plus lipgloss, a compact mirror bc no one's out here trying to have a bad hijab day, and a little bit of ribbon. Trust me about the ribbon.

Shoes!!! 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Please don't wear a super cute coquette outfit and then wear tennis shoes. Just don't. Mary janes, Doc M's, and ballet flats are all really good choices.

Ik I probably sound like I'm obsessing over tiny things, but you kinda have to bc when you're breaking the mold every little thing matters.

Lastly <3 🦢˚✧𓂃🩰 ໒꒱ ⋆ ˚ ⊹

Last but not least, do not ever ever let people make fun of you. If you're a hijabi coquette girlie, you probably have some form of a muslim community, and they probably won't dress in your style. That was my case, and when I first started wearing mary janes and lace gloves I got SO made fun of. Not from the adults, but from my friends. One girl called my mary janes dorky and said they annoyed her every time she saw them. I think she expected me to laugh, but you just have to keep a straight face and say to their face that you thought that was rude. She never called me dorky again 🤷‍♀️

Take this post as a reminder that you can stay true to your faith while looking fabulous. If you have any questions pls pls feel free to ask anything. Ily all honeys, bye ♡

I started a small art study of the JSHK artstyle! It has to be one of the most gorgeous styles I've ever seen, so I HAD to do it (and the manga/anime are really good, you should check them out!)

It was really hard to replicate (thank god I found a few tutorials on YouTube), but in the end I had a lot of fun with it!

Hey Readers, tomorrow is party day and I have to host my guests over for dinner. Mostly adults. Anyway, I will be busy doing the usual chores and extra cleanliness work around the house to maintain it for hours. I also will be tired by Sunday and Monday. This Tuesday, I will have to attend an appointment with my Psychiatrist for a regular monthly check up.

This is a one shot. I am too lazy to write a whole series or maybe I am too tired from being busy. Who knows. 

Enjoy this crap.

Warnings: Implied cannibalism (Obviously you do not know who he really is) Age gap. Yandere and obsessive love towards you. 

Yandere! Doctor Hannibal Lecter x Younger! Girlfriend/ mental patient Reader.

You were as usual nervous. The same thing would happen again. You complained to Hannibal that he never lets you have a life. He always wants to be there and does not like it when you go for a girl’s night out. Why? It is not that he doesn't trust you. He does. 

He can legally ruin anyone who upsets him. But, he always blames you for not having a life. Here is why…

You smiled at your lovely reflection in the mirror. You were satisfied. Makeup tutorials and money from your fiance helped you practice in the design of beautification. You came from a poor family and could not even afford drug store makeup. Now, here you were.  A vogue model. You practiced hard and diligently. Now, you are wearing expensive art. You did not need makeup at all. You were flawless. You only used makeup to add character and color. Mermaid lagoon makeup was your favorite so far.

“For God’s sake, hurry up. It is not prom. Your friend’s car is outside.” Hannibal rolled his eyes as he leaned against the doorway of the room he shared with you. Your back was turned to him. You peeked over your shoulder and hoped today was different.

Hannibal’s breaths hitched when he saw your side profile. 

Screw it. He grabbed you by your wrist. Then gently threw you on the bed like a rag doll.

Not again.

He tried to unbutton your blouse but he got impatient so he just ripped it to shreds and started sucking on your nipples like a hungry baby.

“My friends are outside!” Then you looked down at your ruined top. “I liked that silk blouse.”

Hannibal stopped sucking and quickly replied that he will get you another. Great, you have to make an excuse to cancel your plans again.

Wore my pink Meta ita dress out today. Made a blouse in 4 hours using $15 of cheap chiffon. I filmed me making it and might make a video tutorial, if anyone is interested.

Didn't intend to match the venue, but it happened.

I have had some new followers to the blog since the history of that dress came up, but it showed up on Wunderwelt one day, and I bought it because I liked the cut and figured it couldn't be that shiny in person.

It is that shiny in person.

Anyway, it's apparently a sample that Metamorphose made and never put into production. The people of What is that Dress on Facebook have found one example of it existing in a blog post in 2008, and other than me buying it, no other evidence that it exists.

One of the fun things about lolita fashion is being able to find the history of every garment you run across.

Edit: quick clarification, there's a tutorial for the blouse here: https://www.tumblr.com/20dollarlolita/705182905722388480

But I'm open to doing a video of it as well

Some queer rap/hip hop artists for y'all to add to your pride playlists cause we know how much y'all hate rap.

Tyler the Creator - I Ain't Got Time

Princess Nokia - No Effort

Lil Nas X - J Christ

Kevin Abstract - JUNKY(BROCKHAMPTON)

Megan Thee Stallion - Tuned in

Doechii - Alter Ego (you just need to add this to any pride playlist)

Kevin Fret (RIP, you will be missed) - Soy Asi

Tori Fixx(one of the first ever openly gay hip hop artists) - Woof

God Des and She - Lick it (this is a really good tutorial as well)

There are so many more but this is my second time making this and I've got shit to do, reblog with any queer rappers y'all know or just queer POC you'd like to share.

what did you do for your selkie costume? I am looking for inspiration hehe- I would have been so excited to see a selkie at the ren fair, smh to all the fairgoers

AHHH I'm so glad you ask! SO—I did two outfits. One was more siren style, the other was more wench. I took like *no* pictures unfortunately, but here's what I do have:

So I did a satin white skirt, black peasant blouse + corset, and then layered a few coin belts/skirts. I also had nude gloves that were black ombre, so my fingers were inky black, and then I just did my makeup to give me a seal nose and spots!

I made my cape out of grey, splotchy-patterned flannel and then painted the darker grey on after. I don't have a tutorial for the flippers, but I drew up a rough pattern that I used to make the main body of the "seal skin"

x1 Panel of Fleece x1 Panel of muslin - I folded my fabric in half and cut along the shape b/c symmetrical - Open, stitch up with the outside of each panel facing in leaving the neck unfinished for you to turn it right sides out - Finished the neck with a top stitch, but blanket and ladder work too - I added flippers to mine with upholstery padding and top stitches - Lastly, I used ornate hook-eye fasteners and sewed the eyes to my corset + the hooks to the cape shoulders!
