#but this is so horrible that /I/ feel weird that I like it... okay I know it's fiction but WHY the more evil he is the more I love him?

[excedrinpm]

YES

Also idk if this is like ok to add & also probably worded horribly but to kind of piggyback off of this I feel like the “aesthetics” of subcultures have been narrowed into such tiny little boxes. Like when I was younger black jeans and a t-shirt were very much considered acceptable in emo, goth, grunge, or even punk subcultures. But now it feels like people are so picky about what is and isn’t the fashion. It feels like because of fast fashion people are so intensely elaborate about the aesthetics which like that’s fine if you want to go all out that’s totally cool, but it feels like everyone is expected to go all out all the time and that’s just so not what these subcultures are about. Especially bc majority of these subcultures were based around political ideology, music, and DIY culture.

Also it feels like people make micro labels for every tiny subset of a fashion aesthetic. Which we had to an extent with like pastel goth or nu goth or romantic goth, but it feels so weird and meaningless now. What is “clean grunge” “fairy grunge” “mermaid goth” “emocore” it’s just beyond me but that might just be me.

It feels to me like the labels are becoming more important than the subcultures themselves. Like back in the 2000s a lot of us would never even claim labels like that (partially out of fear of being called a poser and partially out of just simply not caring). We just kind of did what we liked and whatever label people chose to give us was like “okay cool whatever I guess but also I just like what I like”. Whereas I see so many posts that are like “am I emo? Am I punk? Am I goth? Is this okay for Jirai” like babe it’s really not that deep if you like it then you like it & just run with it.

I don't know quite how to articulate this so bear with me, but it feels like there's something about this era of fast fashion and social media that has robbed subcultures of an understanding of their own barriers and pushed people into aesthetic boxes that just aren't "real." I started considering myself goth age 12 because I listened to the music, and I liked the associated aesthetics. I was way too young for goth clubs and shows, and I couldn't dress goth for a variety of reasons. But nobody would've objected to that label to the degree that people would these days. "You don't HAVE to wear x fashion to be part of x subculture but why WOULDN'T you?" seems to be a prevailing idea. Because clothes are affordable now beyond DIY and require no skill and resourcefulness, and subcultures are more 2d and visually tethered to certain images than ever based on social media presences, and... Idk. there is just something depressing about this, you know? there are reasons beyond money why people might not wear certain clothes or wear them regularly. there are reasons beyond money why people might not want fast fashion. there are people who don't even have the money for fast fashion. there are people who have lives you will never understand, who love the same things you do, and shouldn't that be enough?

Hi! Idk if ur still taking requests for little snippets, but is it possible to request a little snippet of NJ helping Loui with his messy curly hair in like- a hot day where humidity is a bitch? 👁️👁️

*🩴*

As a guy with curly hair most times, humidity is such a bitch and happens whenever it feels like here in Jersey, no consistency. So this hit close to home lol.

Hot and Humid (The Worst Combo)

Every door in the state house was open, along with the windows. The Southern States were out barbecuing and the Northern States were suffering, except New Jersey.

It’s not like Jersey liked the heat, it was a pain in the ass, but it did mean he could go swimming and get good southern food, so he can’t complain too much. The problem was the humidity, it was ungodly humid out. Jersey knew humid intimately but this was ridiculous.

Almost every state was either in the pool or on the side relaxing or barbecuing. Almost. The only state that wasn’t with everyone was Louisiana, which Jersey would understand if it wasn’t for the fact that this is weather Loui would absolutely be in.

Jersey was about to go inside to find him when his name was called. Standing in the doorway was Loui, his hair frizzy and messy, looking just as miserable as most of the NE states felt.

Louisiana only had to say one word and Jersey would be at his beck and call. “Help”.

Jersey dragged Loui to his(Jersey's) room, looking at what products he had that could work, he realized he was severely lacking and would need to get more stuff again. He gave Loui a juice box and the tv remote and got to work.

Hair was hard, especially curly hair, it’s hard and annoying at the best of times and at the worst it’s near impossible. Jersey was basically an expert in all things hair but he was definitely wishing that Loui had come to him in the early morning before the humidity got too bad.

It took two hours but Jersey was able to put Loui’s hair into cornrows, that way if he wanted he could go swimming with the others. By the time the two got back outside some of the food was ready and it somehow got hotter and more humid, but at least now Loui’s hair wasn’t a mess.

(And if there was some magic involved to make sure his hair didn’t get affected by the humidity again, then that was between him and the demon he calls his friend).

i have this situation where i love talking about the queer experience particularly in the gender way, as nebulously as possible, when it comes to some sort of broader view or Other People's Experiences making Sense to me

but when i try to kind of face my own gender and thoughts i get like. scared and embarrassed to just Say It, i always have. the they/them out for may/hem jokes are one thing, but talking about my own raw and varied experience of not fitting into the binary, no matter how much i completely respect, support, and cheer on others experiences with it, its so... embarrassing. i cant face my own body a lot of the time. i hardly want anything to do with any gender most of the time, but the rest of the world operates with it really quite forthwith, and like. you can only ignore it so hard, where you fit in, or where you DON'T. where you never hardly ever see anyone else feel quite the way you do, so you feel like you're fake and invalid or doing transgender wrong 😭 (everyone else is fine and right and in charge of their life courageously though)

constantly in a push and pull of relaxing and letting myself find and affirm my identity as i best can with where im at physically, mentally, but also feeling very isolated and even shut down or shunned. the world feels like a box that gets smaller while i feel like the box shouldnt even exist at all sometimes, like it isnt that hard to just keep open and treat it like its just as plain a fact as the grass is green the sky is blue instead of something to pick apart or criticize...

im queer but im queer wrong sometimes, socially. and since im queer wrong sometimes socially, my lived-experience being queer isnt really valid due to being contrarian and so i shouldnt have much to say or have any valid reflections of the experiences around me!!! <-(feelings not reality, but important feelings to be worked through and understood and soothed, which can be difficult when relating or socializing comes with a difficulty increaser!!!!)
