#fast fashion as a concept also has no meaning these days

[fishmech]

like yeah i agree but also the "get it ready made for expensive" went down by the late 70s its not a recent thing in the least. demonias are like 8 years older than you don't front.

Actually I'll never forgive Punk Rave and Killstar and fast fashion brands for tricking people into thinking that being goth or punk or emo is expensive. Babygirl the only goth brand names you need to know are Rit, Good Will, Etsy, and Studs and Spikes, we used to shove safety pins through our ears and then they started selling earrings that look like safety pins for 15.99. We used to dye thrifted wedding dresses black and they started selling gothic gowns for 300 bucks. We used to put studs on boots we found in the back of the good will and they started making Demonias. DIY or die wasn't perfect it can be exclusionary to disabled people but whatever the fuck we've got going on right now is so much worse. It's not any more inclusive to the disabled and it is exclusionary to the people who made punk, to the people who made goth, to the people who made emo. If you've got the funds and you don't want to do diy pay someone else to do it for you but please let it be a small artist or a friend not some guy in a suit who's made it his business to gentrify punk. You can turn flats into platforms with flipflops, hotglue and gumption don't let anyone tell you different.

hello yes I hear there is rwby dgrp Au 👀 /np

yes ! i like the idea with my brain, and i've decided to try my hand at making some stuff for it!!!!

here is the most recent color concepts for ruby's design :3

i will gush below more if you and anyone else are truly curious !!!!!!

so currently, (and hehe no spoilers for if i do make anything more for this) here is the list of students! sorgy if some faves were left out, it was very hard to narrow down to such a small list ;w;

i have started planning the trials, but obviously those are even bigger spoilers hehe, so i won't share those just yet !! but in the meantime, i can go over the setup and what the ultimates mean >>:3

-

setup: so instead of hope's peak, it's beacon .... do not worry why those who are not beacon students are here, i'm sure that'll be a point of interest once the story starts ,, hehe :3

i am still in the earliest stages of this, but i do like the idea that the students are still there to train as huntsman, it's just instead of having semblances, they are ultimates. ultimates are straaaange because sometimes it's like the characters have powers unimaginable to man and then there's ultimate clairvoyant where he's just...... a guy being a dude.... so

i think the school itself will be a hodgepodge of rwby and danganronpa sensibilities. it will borrow from both and primarily follow the danganronpa rules once the killing game starts, but i like to think i'll include a good amount of beacon's influence.

faunus: at this time, i'm unsure if i want to change anything about faunus? i feel like it's not very danganronpa to have catgirls be real, but i very much intend for white fang to exist still. i think it can work? (although much love and peace, we all know how poor the writing has been for faunus racism)

aura: as far as other rwby factors, obviously aura has to go in the state its in. can't really have an interesting killing game if each character has to spar to death. well you could, but then you'd just have hit youtube series rwby again. i think if it is used, it's more like the mastermind gives everyone aura trackers or something? idk

weapons: i'm super on the fence about their inclusions, i may make it a part of the plot, may not. it may be one of the bigger changes i make from the beginning. they will not be featured in the killing game itself because y'know. that would just. negate a loooot.

grimm: will be plot relevant, but i doubt they'll be super there

timeline: imagine how every danganronpa game starts up, first day of hope's peak (or what have you). all students have a clean slate on their memories in some form or fashion, and this AU will be no different to that set up. if it ain't broke, don't fix it! the idea is, this is set from the point of "ruby's first day at beacon." it's not going to play out any bit the same as the show because......... well....... spoilers for danganronpa but...... that's not their real first day at hope's peak dawg.

POV: as for the main character, it's gotta be ruby duh!! - ultimates: some of these are semblance based, some of these are character based. i was more so trying to catch a vibe with the ultimates rather than them being one-to-one.

Ultimate Accelerator

this is ruby's ultimate. as per stated above, this is going to be setup as "ruby's first day at beacon." as we all know, ruby is let into beacon early for her expertise in fighting. academic acceleration is a term for letting students into higher education at a younger age than typical, hence accelerator. also. ruby faste. zoom. but either it's this or ultimate excellence. i like both, i think ruby would hate being called "ultimate excellence." either way, she would want to keep it all under wraps.

Ultimate Socialite

this is weiss's ultimate. i think this one is self explanatory, but of course, weiss do be a nepo baby. especially since these are going to be based primarily on the characteristics of s1 specifically, she was truly trying for that socialite attitude.

Ultimate Escape Artist

so this is where we start to take some liberties. this is blake's ultimate. i think this one will be one of those OP ultimates that you scratch your head a little at and go, "yep, i guess that make sense." my idea is that blake will play off as your kyoko type. she's not particular one for investigation, but she's an escape artist, so she sure can get the hell out of any tricky situation.

Ultimate Gunslinger

another one i'm taking some stretches with, but i think it fits. this is yang's ultimate. i am on the fence big time on the weaponry, but i do want to take the leap to make yang a cowboy. fuck it. we ball.

Ultimate Lucky Student

this is jaune's ultimate. he's definitely a lucky student. :)

Ultimate Electrician

this is nora's ultimate. another easy one, she is big electricity!

Ultimate ???

this is pyrrha's ultimate. ???

Ultimate Serenity

this is ren's ultimate. this one is a bit of a doozy, but imagine angie yonaga's gag where she holds the other students in her arms as if she's jesus and they are the lamb? yeah like that probably.

Ultimate War Machine

this is penny's ultimate. she was built to be war machine. robo of mass destruction, what can you say?

Ultimate Leader

this is adam's ultimate. shout out to running your own terror org, king. congrats on that. not as good as kokichi, but he'll do!

Ultimate Farmhand

this is oscar's ultimate. he was trapped as a farmhand and he couldn't be clarmhand, he wanted to leave this place and get himself back in space.... school... in the school system. for normal farm boy reasonsssss.

Ultimate Spy

this is ilia's ultimate. she sneake.

Ultimate Martial Artist

this is sun's ultimate. this one is a bit of a loophole all around. technically everyone in this AU is still supposed to be trained martial artist, but i think sun is deserving of the ultimate because of his semblance. unfortunately on top that, there's not actually a lot of terms to pick from when you're looking into kung fu mastery, so i had to reuse ultimate martial artist. i could've called him the ultimate sifu or shifu, but i don't feel very attached to the idea that sun would be patient or responsible enough for a title like that, especially early show sun lmao. i was thinking of going with ultimate black belt, but it just felt uninspired. it could be funny to go with sifu in the future just because of how unserious he is lololol

Ultimate Designer

this is coco's ultimate. coco is but a humble designer with her $400 coach bag

Ultimate Copycat

this is velvet's ultimate. another one that is just like "bruh there's no way." i think it's neat to translate velvet's semblance into an ultimate this way. her photography memory is separate from her ultimate abilities nonetheless. her ultimate abilities stem from her physically being able to replicate actions that she sees.

well that's all i have for now, but if i get enough together, i'll maybe start a sideblog or an insta for it hehe

GYARU GUIDE,

MID-PLUS SIZE EDITION:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Welcome to yet another post!! Today I'd like to focus on plus size gyaru because let's be real every size deserves to dress the way they want and even Japan's iconic gyaru brands sadly didn't cater to them and the only thing plus size gyaru could buy from these brands were accessories, shoes and scarfs, but they deserve more!

In this post I will be talking about a lot of things from skinny ideal type gyarus to obviously mid-plus size gals, how gyaru has become a toxic fashion culture, the whole ethical and sustainable debate and of course where you can source your clothes from and many more.

Context page:-

Introduction

Background

The Harsh Truth (privilege, living in a bubble, etc)

Problems, are they really tho? (Ethical, overconsumption, fast fashion etc)

Resources (where to buy)

Outro

I have been war with my body for a really long time and it took me so many years to finally love what I saw on the mirror and I have been fluctuating my weight for a long time so I can definitely assure you guys that I can understand and see all perspectives.

Every time I see any posts or something mid size and plus size are always excluded but not anymore, I have few guides and even sites and such to help you girlies and even few criticism and opinions <3

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Background:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

As we all know the whole purpose of gyaru was and still is to rebel against the norms of societal pressure, especially for Japanese women where topic such as freedom soeech and general personal choices are very considered to be very dire but with the rise of Gyaru and having global celebrity sensation like Namie Amuro and kaoru watanabe popularizing the gyaru concept really helped the youth of Japan express themselves lot freely.

Economic and fashion market saw this as an opportunity and so soon household names that defined gyaru fashion started to erupt like D.I.A, MA*RS, JSG (Japanese super girl), ALBA ROSA, Liz Lisa etc and malls like Shibuya 109 and magazines like ahega, egg etc became the household name for these brands but sadly amidst the uproar and the rise of Gyaru fashion one thing that companies and even magazines to even this day the digital footprint of Gyaru always excludes MID-PLUS size people.

Some of y'all might say "but almost everyone is Japan are really slim so why should they cater to others?" Well the truth is plus size people do exist in Japan but finding that demographic in google is really difficult but when I spent my years in Japan, yea, they do exist and there are good number of them.

It also doesn't help tue fact that even in general there isn't much famous MID-PLUS size models or popular people in Japan the only celebrity who managed to push the way through the harsh and diabolical Japanese entertainment industry is obviously Naomi Watanabe she has been the pioneer for size inclusiveness for many years and it absolutely admirable how she manages to survive such harsh industry where even dating is considered taboo, although I would like to put 2 more honorable mentions to this and they are Dulmi who is Sri Lankan and Japanese model and Miu Tomita (actress) they aren't gyaru by any means but they are definitely tue closest representation of plus size media in Japan and you guys can already make out how few mid-plus size people actually make it a success in Japanese entertainment industry especially if you're a woman.

The Harsh Truth:-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

I will say few things that will definitely cause a lot of rage but it must be said. We shouldn't live in this rose tinted glass and be real and connect with the reality. Doing any sort of fashion it doesn't even matter gyaru or even Japanese fashion in general but either way when you choose to dress a certain style only and focus on your craft that is called privilege. I don't think people I'm general realize how lucky they are to be able to spend 300$ on a singular iconic bow hair accessory from ma*rs that went on sale on eBay or Zenmarket.

I also don't think people realize how much of a privilege it is to be able to go to thrift stores buy what you like then go to fabric store get your things and tweak your own clothes like that also I don't think people realise how much of a privilege it is that sometimes when other gals try to do something different they shame them and thus it's one of the reason why gyaru is almost dead fashion culture, the toxicity and whole plethora of "oh I know better than you, you are stupid for acting and asking such easy questions" and etc is why new gals are so afraid to ask seasoned gals some advice.

We all started somewhere some early and some late, gals in it's peak were known to be one of the most kindest people and total girls girls to ever exist, their "loud" behavior was just them being unapologetic and having fun, where is this energy now? Especially gaijin gals, most foreginer gyarus know that main reason of gyaru's existence was to refute Japan's traditionalist views and letting women be who they wanna be yet they forget the most basic thing and often shame a lot of gals for not sourcing clothes the "correct way" and even if some gals make mistakes can we all please be kind to each other about it? I have joined and seen multiple YouTube videos, reels, tik toks, even reddit, tumblr, X and even Instagram of new gals and plus size gals literally getting scared and saying "I just keep my mouth shut and google and do my own research because my past experiences of asking were very negative"

Okay, to old gals can we please be welcoming to new gals and not scrutinize them like this? And this doesn't end at just new gals but we have to keep in mind that every single of us have different body types, not all of people can have the privilege to buy of brands because of financial issues or sizing problems so can we as a community please for the love of this fashion culture stop saying such jaded things like "you don't even own one gyaru brands? You aren't real gyaru" and this doesn't just apply to clothes but accessories produced by those brands as well.

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Problems, but they really tho? :-

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

over here we take a little philosophical route to be honest, we need to understand and empathize with all sides. I will say something which will case a lot of controversy but it must be said, as someone who has been gyaru follower and started dressing up gyaru quiet early in life and even experienced gyaru in Japan and who practically lived inside Shibuya 109 I can tell you that whole gyaru culture lives off of overconsumption and this is the truth, from well known and very famous subcultures like agejo Or himekaji to very less known and rare subcultures like mode and bohemian everything is and extension of overconsumption like it Or not even if you diy some clothes or such majority of it like hair extensions, brands, makeup to iconic gyaru nail designs everything is a part of overconsumption and you are a willing participant of it, shit! I know I am because I for one can't make my own extensions or wigs ffs and even if I were to make my own nails I'd still have to go out to buy necessary tools for it.

On this topic I'd also like to say another controversial thing and that is we shouldn't really judge people for shopping from fast fashion and here is why because some might have financial issues or live around were there isn't really second hand clothing stores or they are mid-plus size. There might be a debate and I might definitely get comments like "but oh I am big size, poor and live in remote area yet I don't indulge in fast fashion" and that's okay, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it but don't judge without knowing the reason why.

Sure, you might even think "no you are being stupid" but I'd like just for you guys to maybe look into this thing called perspective and maybe get off of your privileged view and look into other perspectives. Being ethical in this era is very difficult with us being the victims of capitalism from the phones we use to even down right food we consume, be it from supermarket or even organic farm. There are many questions to he asked like were our Vegetables grown ethically? Were the pesticides made with ethical ingredients? Did the farmer source the seeds ethically or not? The truth is we can't always be 100% ethical but we can try about best to reduce when we can.

Above reasons are also why I'm always sympathetic towards gals who happen to shop on fast fashion. You and I are blessed and privileged enough to mindlessly spend $$$ on Vivienne Westwood or Sandy Liang but others aren't due to financial issues and just because they are financially unstable doesn't even they can't dream, they also have 100% right to dream and partake in their hobbies and likes. I'll also always have sympathy for gals because finding big sizes in thrift stores can also be a hassle.

In conclusion what I'm trying to say is as bad at it seems not everything is 100% ethical one of the few examples of this is himejaki and tsuyome winter wear usually they wear fur and to be honest vintage real fur is WAY more ethical and environmentally friendly because that fur has been passed down from generation to generation from first manufacturers to family heirloom or given to thrift and someone thrifted it and now using it than faux that we get these days because they aren't ethical AT ALL!!

On the side note thrifting these days also is very difficult due to it being the next new "it" thing and store owners are literally racking up the prices because Veronica from lower East Side, New York wants to buy it and then sell it for 500 or more $$$ in Depop to profit off of literally pre worn and second hand clothes!

The most awaited part of the post is here, so let's begin!! These are some of the few ways that I source my clothes, this applies to not only gyaru clothes but other types of fashion as well like grunge, emo, coquette etc etc. Mind you that gyaru is almost dying fashion community and finding clothes that cater to mid to plus size is difficult but I tried my best and here are few lists that I found by searching and have experience from having buying from these stores.

Instagram stores: there isn't one specific stores that I can recommend because for this you really need to search and look at every single post to see if it fits substyle you're following or not but there are some of the pages that do international shipping. y2xvintage (London Based) , velvethrift (Mexico based) , pepxicola.thrift (Ho Chi Minh based) , pixz_style (Peru based), weirdwearx (Philippines based), gimmeclothingy2k (Thailand based) I must say that not every one of these stores sell only gyaru but I have seen one or few pieces that fit gyaru style and it is difficult to find plus size sizes because they are second hand clothes and they buy in wholesale regardless of size but once you see a plus size clothes they're good and worth money.

Online stores: these are some of the online stores that you guys can visit. Honey wardrobe, punyus Naomi Watanabe's brand (not gyaru by all means but they do have good collection for kogal inspired skirts and few pieces that can go well for rokku gyaru), ank rouge (good selection for hime and himekaji although dresses aren't plus size friendly their poncho and oversized clothes collection is really good) , Dreamvs, Yumetenbo, Tokyo otaku mode (you can search Galaxxxy which is brand for Haady gyaru), Zenmarket and taobao (3rd party shopping) and I will get hate for this but Amazon yea they do have cute accessories like leg warmers and iconic light brown cardigans for kogal and those buckles shoes for kogal, hime and himekaji

Physical store: well for physical store there is only one which is Shibuya 109 and that too if you go to Japan. Sorry there isn't any physical stores in present era that cater to gyaru, although throughout years stores in Shibuya 109 has changed so much and in the recent years the latest I know is this year when I had gone to Japan again and there on the either 4th or top floor i forgot but there is this store called spinns and next to that store is this Gothic and emo store and both spinns and gothic/emo store sell pretty good street style but few belts and accessories can totally work for Tsuyome they have belts for plus size too and few belts even have bedazzled words that lowkey resemble the bling bling visual of iconic D.I.A belts, but i think spinns does have an international site with worldwide shipping as well so check them out.

Other ways: obviously is tweaking here and there and making your clothes, for people who don't know how to the most easiest trick is to find the clothes you wanna change and start small like for example agejo is my favorite subculture so i go ham on animal print or any cute print bows and buy lots of bead string decors from online (Amazon and Instagram wholesale stores) and stick them to my heels, denim skirts and my tops.

A GUIDE TO FINDING YOUR OWN STYLE: PART. I Y2K ୨୧ ׅ ۫ 𖹭

The Y2K Era became well-defined by 1997, replacing the Core '90s Era which had been known for its grittier aesthetics such as Grunge. The Spice Girls' single "Wannabe" was released in the U.S. and gained international popularity, leading to a new era in teen pop. Y2K fashion calls back to the biggest trends of the late 90s and early 2000s. It blends the pop culture of the millennium with bright colors and kitschy aesthetics to create an unapologetically maximalist look. One of the key fashion points of the y2k wave are: low raised jeans, crop tops, small handbags and mini skirts. POC POPULARIZED THE STYLE. The fashion icons of the y2k era were Destiny's child, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Christina Aguillera.

I. TYPES OF THE Y2K STYLE ୨୧ ׅ ۫ 𖹭

1. CYBERCORE

Y2K (also known as Kaybug or Cybercore) is an aesthetic that was prevalent in popular culture from roughly 1997 to 2004, succeeding the Memphis Design and Grunge eras and overlapping with the McBling, UrBling, Surf Crush, and 2K1 aesthetics. Named after the Year 2000 problem, it is characterized by a distinct aesthetic period, encapsulating fashion, hardware design, music, and furnishings shining with tech optimism—sometimes literally. Some of its aspects include tight leather pants, shiny clothing, silver eye shadow, spiky up-dos, Oakleys, gradients, translucence, and Blobitecture. Most Y2K aesthetics rely on the use of technology and slick futuristic looks, signaling the optimism for the 3rd Millennium or 21st Century. The Y2K Era ended around 2004 and was succeeded by the Frutiger Aero era. This style is full of mostly gray, blue, green and black colors. One artist that i think perfectly describes the cybercore concept are XG in their newest concept photos alongside with AESPA that can sometime miss the concept they mainly do.

2. MCBLING

The McBling aesthetic went into full swing around late 2004 with the release of the movie Mean Girls, the popularization of Myspace, the popularization of emo via Green Day's American Idiot, the phasing-out of 2K1, the iPod becoming a huge status symbol via Apple's silhouette ad campaign, the premieres of Laguna Beach and Lost, and Gwen Stefani starting her solo career, further hastening the end of the Y2K era. McBling was concurrent or overlapped with a number of other 2000s aesthetics, such as UrBling, Surf Crush, 2K7, and Frutiger Aero.This led into the ElectroPop 08/Hipster/Jersey Shore Era, which lasted from about 2008 to 2013. On social media in recent years, the McBling aesthetic has grown in popularity, albeit it is often lumped with or mistaken for the Y2K aesthetic. The colors of this style are: pink, white, silver and gold.

3. DARK Y2K

Instead of lighter and brighter colors, like pinks and pastels, the Dark Y2K aesthetic heavily revolves around colors like black, grey, deep blue, dark purple, and dark green. However, hot pinks are also seen in Dark Y2K fashion. The Dark Y2K visual focuses on freedom and youth, and rebelling. Visuals that are typically seen in the aesthetic are low-rise jeans and belts, with lipgloss and sometimes even glitter eyeshadow. Some of the styles worn could even be viewed as provocative.The 2003 film Thirteen can be seen as an influence to Dark Y2K fashion and visuals, with its main characters wearing cropped tops, low-rise jeans with a noticeable thong, and studded belts. The main characters are also seen rebelling and sneaking out, and getting tongue and bellybutton piercings.

// Hi, hello, ohayo, anyoung, ni hao, bonjour, ciao, hola, zdravstvuyte human!

// Check the mic, check the mic

// THIS IS ANGE SPEAKING :)

// Ah, time does fly so fast, doesn’t it human?

// Looking around us again, who would have believed that in the blink of an eye, now we’re soon reaching the end of spring in tomorrow!

// By the way,

// If that lazy admin of this blog was to be more active, who knows, ANGE might even have her bio out already (-`д´-)

// BUT HMPH! FOR MY HUMAN’S SAKE, ANGE WILL PUT AWAY HER PETTY RAMBLE FOR NOW…

// BECAUSE MOST IMPORTANTLY, ANGE HAS A VERY VERY SPECIAL NEWS TO ANNOUNCE TODAY!!!

// FINALLY, LOOKS LIKE MY HUMAN IS DETERMINED TO RELEASE OUR SPRING MIXTAPE SOON YAYYY (ﾉ>▽<)ﾉ~❀

// However, however—

// ANGE guessed you guys aren’t accustomed to ANGE’s way of talking like this hmmmmm

// Then may you please wait a sec!

// Now let’s ANGE try something that those people namely “Vtubers” love to do among these days!

“Hello there, human☆ Here we finally meet again!”

“Well, well, well～ Welcome here again to Miraitabi’s Spring notification gladly announced by none other than the one and only pretty girl of my human’s division! Today Sakura ANGE are in da house❀”

“Well, what do you think about ANGE’s brand new seifuku?! ANGE has been putting so much effort to design some new outfits to suit the theme of this season~”

“Tee-hee☆ And to be honest, ANGE isn’t really into stuff like fashions just as other entities around here, but lately it just couldn’t be helped since ANGE doesn't wanna fall back on the allegation of trends! That's why ANGE has to put more effort into this! But despite saying that, the idea to try wearing something matching with my human is something ANGE really really wants to do for a while back!”

“Moreover, the theme palette of spring is very pretty, don’t you think? Pink, white, and green —ANGE’s new friend, Hi-chan, has once told that these three colors were to represent each phase of cherry blossoms during the springtime and that reminded ANGE that there are also a lot of interesting festivals celebrating in this season as well!”

“By the way, speaking of which, it seems like there is another division making a debut of Spring Mixtape even ahead of my human’s team hmm~ Oh, what’s its name again? Does it ‘Hana Matsuri’ which literally meaning ‘Flower Festival’? …Well, a bit weird choice of name ANGE must say, considering that this name is also the small festival some locals in Japan held on 8th April to celebrate the birth of Buddha”

“ —But never mind that, what’s more fascinating is the concept this Over-something team’s conveys through their music, isn’t it? Hehehe, interesting albeit not really out of expected from some group of idol. It’s kinda surprising to see that different individuals can create quite a different interpretation on music even if they have started off with the same topic though, and now ANGE can’t wait to see what they have in store for the next season~”

“Meanwhile, if the 'Flower Viewing' festival along with their joy and tranciency of festivity are going for as the prelude to this jovial season of new beginning, then ANGE'd like to say that my human’s music this time is going to be a bit different then... Butttt, what theme he's going for hmmm~?”

“*giggles* To give some hint; actually this theme is inspired by the event that mostly and coincidentally occurred during spring, especially in March when cherry blossoms are told to have the most beautiful blooming. Because just so you know: Spring is the season of new beginning and departure…”

“Therefore human, please stay tuned for that we’re going to bid a farewell to our precious spring together! Human has forbidden me to spoil much thing but here allow ANGE to give you a little teaser☆”

💮 When The Blossoms Rain

Song Title: Sakura no ame (Sakura Rain) Original by: halyosy ft. Hatsune Miku MMD credits are in the description of video

Fluttering through the window, the pink petal lands softly on your palm

[steelycunt]

ridi i'm LOVING all these unpopular opinions!! music haterism is always justified imo and soo entertaining also love that i agree with you 100% on basically everything 😌 some of these things just had to be said…

i thought i didn’t have anything to add because ts, hs etc have all been spoken about and i don’t listen to modern music enough to have strong opinions on any others but then i remembered my BIGGEST parasocial enemy (who i never talk about bc i don’t really have that good a reason to find her annoying i just do) is beabadoobea…

apologies in advance but she sort of represents everything wrong with the music industry rn to me so maybe a rant is justified here? anyway taking this opportunity to say i think she’s so overrated and not in a unique way, like it isn’t new for people to get careers from how they look but in her case specifically it annoys me sm because of what her fans are like and also it’s close to home…as in my cousin is one of her best friends from school so i knew of her when she started releasing music on band camp and had to watch her make a music career off being pretty on instagram with the four chords my cousin taught her on guitar and a voice that’s just…fine, and whatever everyone has to start somewhere except she got a record deal when her sound was completely underdeveloped before she’d had time to learn anything about music or her own artistry and like fuck around experimenting for a while.

which is so common these days i think w people blowing up on social media and getting handed careers i.e riding on the people who can actually play their instruments and getting loads of money thrown at them to make really bland four chord nothing songs... like in the first few years of her career she made so much music and it was all so boring and sounded exactly the same, even now it might be unfair but i do just assume any vaguely interesting part of her output is someone else’s work like sorry she’s never had to come up with her own fully fledged ideas or concepts and she’s been working with the pressure of commercial viability the whole time, any potential she might have had i just think was squandered by having everything come too fast and too easily or maybe i'm being generous and her authentic sound is just boring idk because it still doesn't seem like she has anything to say…all this wouldn’t be as bad if her fans weren’t sooo insanely annoying about her + as a person i have no real reason to but i just do not like her :| my cousin is still good friends with her as well so i have to pretend i know nothing but the picture of her i’ve built from things my cousin’s said…just aggravating, alsoo she’d played at my work once when my friend was on shift and her ex bf that looks a tiny bit like george harrison was sitting at the bar the whole time drinking water and not talking to anyone while she was doing coke in the bathroom and he looked so pathetic my friend started talking to him to cheer him up in between serving him his next cup of tap water…

HELLO MY DARLING!! oh my god i didnt realise she needed to come up until you said it...bebadoobedobee...beadbeadooebadoo..clapping n cheering for your rant because youre fucking RIGHT i have a few friends who like her and have tried to get me to listen to her and she was just. appalling truly and as you say not even just in a ah shes trying shes young she'll get better kind of way but in a this is genuinely unbelievably soulless and bland and boring and says so little that even she seems disinterested with it. the inside scoop on her from your cousin is delicious also gbfskjfskd her poor sad george harrison boyfriend..

i think youre so right and i dont mean that new artists shouldnt be given a break or an opportunity or anything but like you say, when theyre being harvested on social media, where a lot of the time look is everything (as i believe it is for bebadoobebdoo, her look her 'aesthetic' pinterest-board fashion sense does play a part i really think it does because there is no way her music is strong enough on its own to be successful) and where they may not necessarily be super experienced or practiced yet (which again, i appreciate, theyre new), a lot of money goes into getting songs out of them which are inevitably boring unimaginative four-chord songs that do not have enough substance to make anyone feel anything. including the people singing them. i cant imagine that beabadoobee demonstrated enough genuine musical promise to be given a record deal so i have to believe its either her image or the idea that well if we give her tons of expensive resources maybe then she'll end up putting out something good.

there have to be new artists out there who are more talented and interesting and would do more with the sort of record deal thrown at beabadoobebee than beabadoobdbbee did...surely...i really did try to like her because my friends raved about her so much so i listened to a fair bit from her and her music was just so staggeringly nothing. i think you make a good point about how the fact that she got a record deal so early on probably has sort of stifled the music she makes/her ability to experiment with it but im not sure im as kind as you because i do fear she is just not very talented perhaps. sorry giggling at her sad george harrison tapwater drinking boyfriend again poor lad..

Why Co-Ord Sets Are Revolutionizing Women’s Formal Wear

Women’s formal wear has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with trends moving toward comfort, versatility, and style. Among the emerging trends, co-ord sets have become a staple in modern wardrobes, redefining what it means to dress for success in the workplace. Once seen primarily as casual or weekend wear, co-ord sets have evolved to offer polished, professional, and highly adaptable options for women seeking convenience without compromising on style. In this blog, we will explore why co-ord sets are revolutionizing women’s formal wear and how they’ve become a key player in the modern professional woman's wardrobe.

A Seamless Look with Minimal Effort One of the primary reasons co-ord sets are gaining popularity is the ease they bring to getting dressed. A co-ord set is typically a two-piece outfit, such as a matching top and trousers or a blazer and skirt combo, designed to be worn together. This provides an instant put-together look with minimal effort. In the fast-paced world of modern work life, where time is of the essence, co-ord sets take the guesswork out of coordinating outfits. Unlike mixing and matching individual pieces, co-ord sets guarantee that both parts of your ensemble are perfectly in sync, resulting in a clean, cohesive appearance. For busy professionals juggling meetings, projects, and personal responsibilities, this convenience is priceless.

Versatility and Mix-and-Match Potential Although co-ord sets are designed to be worn together, one of their greatest strengths lies in their versatility. Pieces from co-ord sets can easily be separated and styled with other items in your wardrobe, offering countless outfit possibilities. For example, a blazer from a co-ord set can be paired with tailored trousers or even jeans for a smart-casual look, while the matching trousers can be worn with a different blouse or shirt to create a fresh, new outfit. This ability to mix and match not only extends the life and use of each co-ord set but also allows women to experiment with their personal style. It’s a win-win scenario for women who want to maximize their wardrobe without overloading it with individual items.

A Balance of Comfort and Professionalism Historically, women's formal wear has often leaned towards structure and restriction—think pencil skirts, tight blouses, and fitted blazers. While these classic pieces still have their place, they aren’t always the most comfortable choices, especially during long workdays. Enter the co-ord set: a perfect marriage of comfort and professionalism. Co-ord sets are designed with modern fabrics that move with the body rather than constraining it. Stretchy materials like crepe, jersey, and soft knits offer both flexibility and elegance, allowing women to stay comfortable throughout the day while still looking polished. Whether it's a long meeting, a presentation, or a networking event, co-ord sets ensure that women feel at ease without compromising their professional image.

Trendsetting Designs The modern co-ord set is far from boring. Designers are constantly reinventing the concept with innovative cuts, textures, and colors, offering a fresh take on business wear. Bold hues such as emerald green, blush pink, and electric blue are making waves in the office, while neutrals like beige, charcoal, and soft grey continue to dominate the landscape for more conservative workplaces. In addition to color, patterns such as checks, pinstripes, and subtle florals are being incorporated into co-ord sets, adding a dash of personality to otherwise classic pieces. These trendy designs allow women to express their individuality while adhering to the professionalism expected in the workplace. As women’s office attire continues to evolve, the desire for options that merge functionality with fashion is growing, and co-ord sets are rising to the occasion. By offering eye-catching styles that remain professional, they allow women to look on-trend without appearing out of place in formal settings.

Inclusive Sizing and Customization Another way co-ord sets are revolutionizing women’s formal wear is through inclusive sizing and customization options. Unlike traditional workwear, which often caters to limited body types, many co-ord sets are designed with a more diverse range of shapes in mind. Whether it’s petite, tall, plus-size, or standard sizing, there’s a co-ord set that can fit and flatter every woman’s figure. Moreover, co-ord sets are highly customizable. With the variety of combinations available, women can personalize their look according to their unique preferences. This trend allows for greater freedom in how women present themselves at work, giving them the ability to choose garments that best reflect their body shape, personality, and comfort level.

Co-Ord Sets for Different Work Settings One of the best things about co-ord sets is their ability to suit various types of work environments, from corporate offices to creative industries and everything in between. Here’s a look at how co-ord sets fit into different workplace settings: • Corporate Offices: For traditional office environments, co-ord sets made of luxurious fabrics like wool, crepe, or silk blends offer an elevated, professional look. These sets are typically tailored to perfection and often come in neutral tones like black, grey, navy, and cream. A well-fitted blazer and matching trousers or a pencil skirt co-ord set can be just the right balance between corporate formality and modern chic. • Creative Workspaces: For creative professionals, co-ord sets offer a great opportunity to play with bold patterns, vibrant colors, and unusual textures. These environments often embrace a more relaxed dress code, allowing co-ord sets to push the boundaries of traditional office wear. Bright floral patterns, wide-leg trousers paired with cropped blazers, or monochrome sets in unconventional hues can bring a fresh, fun approach to office fashion. • Casual Work Environments: In more relaxed workplaces, co-ord sets made from lightweight, breathable materials like linen or cotton are perfect for achieving a laid-back yet polished look. These sets are comfortable for all-day wear but still give off a cohesive, put-together appearance.

Sustainability and Conscious Fashion With the increasing importance of sustainable fashion, co-ord sets are also making their mark in this space. Many fashion brands are now creating co-ord sets from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, and recycled polyester. By opting for co-ord sets made with sustainability in mind, women can contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the fashion industry while still looking fashionable. Additionally, the versatility of co-ord sets means fewer purchases over time. Since pieces from a set can be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe, you don’t need to constantly buy new clothes to refresh your office attire. This “slow fashion” approach encourages more mindful shopping habits and reduces the need for fast fashion items that quickly go out of style. Conclusion: The Future of Women’s Formal Wear Co-ord sets are undoubtedly revolutionizing the way women approach formal wear. Their unique combination of ease, versatility, comfort, and style makes them a must-have in any modern professional woman’s wardrobe. Whether you’re working in a corporate office, a creative studio, or a more casual setting, co-ord sets offer a wide range of possibilities to suit your personal style and professional needs. As you update your work wardrobe for the upcoming seasons, consider adding a few co-ord sets to your collection.

Groovy: A Vibe That Never Fades

"Groovy" is a word that takes you back in time, yet still feels very much alive today. It’s not just about the past—it’s a feeling, a vibe, a way of being that transcends decades. Originating in the 1960s and 70s, the word "groovy" captured the essence of a whole cultural movement, embodying the free-spirited, laid-back, and creative energy of an era marked by colorful clothes, experimental music, and a passion for peace and love. But groovy never really disappeared. It continues to describe those moments in life when everything just feels right—smooth, easygoing, and full of rhythm.

To be groovy is to move with the flow, to let life’s rhythm guide you effortlessly. Imagine walking down the street on a sunny day, your favorite music playing through your headphones. You feel light, confident, and completely in tune with the world around you. That’s groovy. It’s about being in sync with the moment, allowing yourself to enjoy life’s simple pleasures with a smile on your face.

The groovy era was more than just bell-bottoms and flower crowns—it was a cultural revolution. Music was at the heart of it all. Bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Grateful Dead created sounds that were experimental, soulful, and completely new. They blended rock, blues, jazz, and psychedelic elements to create music that felt as if it was pulling people together. Concerts became communal experiences, places where the groove of the music united everyone in a shared vibe. Even today, when you hear a groovy tune, it’s hard not to tap your foot or sway with the beat.

Groovy is also about style—vibrant colors, funky patterns, and bold expressions of individuality. In the 1960s, people weren’t afraid to stand out. Tie-dye shirts, bell-bottom jeans, peace signs, and headbands became symbols of freedom and nonconformity. The groovy look was playful and bold, a way for people to say, "I am who I am, and I’m proud of it." Today, this sense of bold self-expression is still alive, seen in fashion trends that embrace creativity and confidence.

But groovy isn’t just about looking cool or listening to great music. It’s a mindset. Being groovy means being open to new experiences, embracing positivity, and finding joy in the present moment. It’s about letting go of stress, not sweating the small stuff, and focusing on what makes you happy. In a world that can sometimes feel fast-paced and overwhelming, adopting a groovy mindset can help you slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the ride.

Imagine spending an afternoon with friends at the beach. The sun is shining, there’s laughter in the air, and the waves are crashing gently on the shore. No one’s in a rush; everyone’s just soaking in the good vibes. That’s groovy. It’s those carefree moments that make life feel effortless and full of light. Whether you’re dancing barefoot at a festival, chilling with friends around a campfire, or simply enjoying a peaceful morning with your coffee, you can tap into that groovy feeling.

In the digital age, groovy might seem like a throwback, but it’s more relevant than ever. Modern life is full of pressures—work deadlines, social media updates, constant notifications. Groovy reminds us to slow down and reconnect with the things that truly matter. Instead of getting caught up in the hustle, being groovy encourages us to find our rhythm and move at our own pace. It’s a reminder that life is more enjoyable when we’re present, playful, and in tune with our own groove.

Interestingly, the concept of "groovy" has even evolved in music and culture today. While the original groovy sounds of the 60s and 70s still inspire musicians, new artists across genres incorporate groovy elements into their work. Lo-fi beats, smooth jazz, and chillhop all carry that same laid-back, rhythmic feel that helps people unwind. Groovy isn’t stuck in the past—it’s adapted and found its place in modern culture, still representing that same sense of effortless cool.

Did you know that the word "groovy" originated from jazz? In the 1930s, musicians described music with a perfect rhythm and flow as "in the groove." This musical slang evolved over time, and by the 1960s, "groovy" became a popular term to describe not just music, but anything that was cool, exciting, or enjoyable. The word might have changed slightly over the years, but its essence remains the same—a feeling of ease, flow, and joy.

In conclusion, groovy is more than just a word from the past—it’s a way of life. It’s about finding your rhythm, being present, and embracing the beauty of the moment. Whether it’s through music, fashion, or your state of mind, groovy is a reminder to live life with a sense of freedom, creativity, and fun. So next time you’re feeling stressed or stuck, remember to find your groove and let life flow.

The Magic of Versatile Clothing: Elevate Your Wardrobe

In a world where fast fashion dominates and trends change at the blink of an eye, versatile clothings has emerged as a beacon of sustainability and practicality. Versatile clothing refers to pieces that can be styled in multiple ways and adapted for various occasions. This concept not only promotes a more mindful approach to fashion but also ensures you get the most out of every item in your wardrobe. Here’s why versatile clothing is a game-changer and how you can incorporate it into your everyday style.

1. Cost-Effective Fashion

Investing in versatile clothing means fewer purchases but more options. High-quality, adaptable pieces might come with a higher price tag, but their utility justifies the expense. For example, a classic white button-down shirt can be dressed up with a blazer and trousers for a business meeting or dressed down with jeans for a casual day out. By focusing on versatility, you save money in the long run, reducing the need to constantly update your wardrobe with new items.

2. Sustainable Choice

The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters globally. Embracing versatile clothing helps mitigate this impact. By choosing pieces that can be worn in various ways, you reduce the need to buy more clothes, consequently decreasing your fashion footprint. Opting for timeless, high-quality garments that can be mixed and matched not only benefits your wallet but also the planet.

3. Simplified Wardrobe Management

A wardrobe full of versatile pieces makes dressing up every day much easier. Capsule wardrobes, which consist of a small collection of essential items that don’t go out of fashion, are a perfect example. These collections usually include items like neutral-colored tops, well-fitted jeans, a little black dress, and a few statement accessories. With a streamlined wardrobe, you spend less time deciding what to wear and more time focusing on what matters.

4. Perfect for Any Occasion

Versatile clothing allows you to transition seamlessly from one occasion to another. For instance, a chic black dress can be worn to a formal event, and with a quick change of accessories, it can become suitable for a casual dinner or a night out. Similarly, a pair of tailored pants can be paired with a blouse for the office and switched to a trendy top for an evening out. This flexibility is invaluable, especially for those with busy schedules.

5. Expressing Personal Style

Versatile pieces provide a canvas for expressing your unique style. They offer endless opportunities to experiment with different looks by mixing and matching. A basic blazer, for example, can be part of a professional ensemble one day and a chic, casual outfit the next. By adding personal touches like scarves, belts, or jewelry, you can create multiple outfits that reflect your personality and mood.

Conclusion

The magic of versatile clothings  lies in its ability to combine practicality with style. It champions sustainability, simplifies wardrobe management, and allows for endless creativity. As we become more conscious of our consumption patterns, versatile clothing stands out as a smart and stylish solution. Embrace the versatility trend, and you’ll find that a few well-chosen pieces can transform your entire wardrobe, making fashion both fun and functional.

Comparing real companies’ marketing orientation

A product-oriented company is one that focuses on continuously innovating their product in order to draw in customers. A good example of a product-oriented company is Dyson, a household appliance organization. Rather than consider the customer before creating a product, Dyson designed products such as the wireless vacuum and the sleek looking hair dryer that enticed consumers to buy their products. According to their website, Dyson has a customer service hotline that is available for 8 hours and 30 minutes from Monday to Saturday, a Whatsapp number customers can use to chat, and an email address.

A sales-oriented company makes selling their products their top priority. Normally, companies would want to sell a product either through innovation or by consumer demands, but a sales-oriented company isn’t interested in that. These companies aren’t dependent on their product or on consumer satisfaction. They mostly focus on convincing consumers to buy their product. An example of a sales-oriented company would be Acibadem Insurance, an insurance company based in Turkey. While many well-known insurance companies these days put more effort into retaining their customers and improving their customer service, sales are still the lifeblood of the company. Acibadem Insurance brokers will continue to send messages to a potential customer until they either made the sale, or the customer continuously ignores them.

A customer-oriented company heavily focuses on their customers’ wants and needs because they believe it’s linked to company success. Companies that follow this concept more often than not have great customer retention, and highly rated customer service. An example of a customer-oriented company is Nike, the sports apparel brand. Nike tries to appeal to customers and noncustomers alike with their famous ads, using celebrities and popular athletes to draw them in. Nike also has membership benefits, such as free delivery, member rewards, and member products that can appeal to their customers’ wants. The membership also allows members to customize their shoes, which can incentivize customer loyalty. Additionally, Nike stores offer treadmills in some of their locations so the customers can test their shoes out before purchase, which can really assist customers in decision-making. The company also has a robust social media presence, having over 300 social media profiles across popular social media sites (Dereń, 2023). 

A production-oriented company outs much of their focus on producing their products in a cheap and quick fashion. Companies that follow this orientation believe that demand is followed by supply, meaning that they mass produce their products and price them at a low cost, which can rope in customers. Innovation and customer satisfaction aren’t as important to these companies, rather, they create products that are used daily and make sure that production costs aren’t high. An example of a production-oriented company is Burger King, a fast food company. Burger King may have interesting ads that showcase their burgers, but there isn’t much of a variety in choice. Their products also have a low cost, an example being their dollar menu. Their products are also made in a timely, albeit sometimes rushed,  manner, and can sometimes look undesirable to the customer. While they may lack variety, Burger King has some unique ways to reach out to consumers. The company recently started a contest called the Million Dollar Whopper Contest, which asked consumers what they would put on a whopper for a chance to get 1 million dollars. This contest could generate engagement with the brand among customers and noncustomers alike. Burger King also has an app that can gift customers coupons on their birthdays, which can entice customers to buy more from the company, and possibly even strengthen customer loyalty.

Decoding Trends: Unveiling the Intricacies of Trend Determination and Spread

In the ever-shifting landscape of fashion, design, technology, and culture, trends emerge as the silent orchestrators, guiding industries and shaping our collective preferences. The process of determining trends is a complex interplay of influences, creativity, and societal dynamics, and understanding how these trends spread is akin to unraveling a captivating mystery.

The Genesis of Trends: Where Ideas Take Flight

Trends are not born in isolation; they are the offspring of a multitude of factors converging in a perfect storm of creativity. The creative minds behind trends often draw inspiration from diverse sources, ranging from art and history to technology and societal shifts. Designers, influencers, and cultural tastemakers act as trendsetters, pioneering new concepts that capture the zeitgeist.

The fashion industry, for instance, relies on a cyclical process of trend determination, where designers unveil their collections on runways, showcasing innovative designs and styles. These creations, in turn, influence the broader fashion ecosystem, from high-end labels to fast-fashion retailers. The worlds of design and technology often intersect, with advancements in one realm inspiring trends in the other. Social and cultural movements also play a pivotal role, as they spark conversations and redefine societal norms, giving rise to trends that reflect the current ethos.

The Ripple Effect: How Trends Spread

Once a trend is born, its journey begins. The spread of trends is a fascinating phenomenon that involves a delicate dance between influencers, media, and the general public.

Influencers as Catalysts: Social media influencers are modern-day trend conduits, with the power to catapult a niche idea into mainstream consciousness. Whether it's fashion, lifestyle, or technology, influencers create a ripple effect by adopting and promoting emerging trends. Their curated content acts as a visual narrative, showcasing trends in real-world contexts and making them relatable to their audience.

Media Amplification: Traditional media and digital platforms play a crucial role in amplifying trends. Fashion magazines, blogs, and online publications often feature trend reports and analyses, providing a platform for designers and influencers to showcase their work. Television, movies, and streaming platforms also contribute to trend propagation, as iconic characters and celebrities become trend ambassadors.

Consumer Adoption: The ultimate litmus test for a trend lies in consumer adoption. As trends gain visibility through influencers and media, consumers evaluate and integrate these ideas into their lifestyles. The democratization of trends through social media platforms allows individuals to express their unique interpretations, contributing to the diversification and evolution of trends.

The Global Village Effect: Trends in the Digital Age

The digital age has transformed the dynamics of trend determination and spread. The interconnectedness of the global village means that trends can traverse geographical boundaries at unprecedented speeds. Social media platforms, with their instant and widespread reach, serve as virtual runways where trends can take flight with a single post.

Digital communities and forums further contribute to the spread of trends, creating spaces for enthusiasts to discuss, critique, and celebrate emerging ideas. The democratization of creativity in the digital era means that trends can originate from grassroots movements, subcultures, or niche communities, challenging the traditional top-down approach to trendsetting.

Conclusion: Deciphering the Tapestry of Trends

In the intricate tapestry of trends, determination and spread are interconnected threads, weaving together creativity, influence, and societal dynamics. From the incubation of ideas in the minds of innovators to the global stage where trends capture the collective imagination, the process is a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of human expression. As we navigate the currents of trends, we embark on a journey that transcends individual preferences, connecting us in a shared dialogue of innovation and cultural evolution.
