Does anyone into mori have any recommendations for tight brands like these examples?

I’ve been looking to diversify my accessory options but honestly it’s a nightmare to find adult sized leggings and tights in fun tweeish patterns and colours that aren’t thin and flimsy and it’s a real shame cos I loved my patterned tights as a kid.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

sometimes family isnt a mom, dad and a few kids. sometimes its a narcissistic ex lawyer, an annoying vegetarian anarchist, a divorced christian housewife obsessed with baking, the heir to a moist towelette empire, an overachieving goodie two shoes, a jock with untreated ADHD and an AV guy.

i hate it here so i will go to secret gardens in my mind (reading)

it lowkey pisses me off when people say Snow hates Katniss just because she reminds him of Lucy Gray

cause like.. no. he hates her because everything she does is a painful reminder that he had a choice.

when she pulled out those berries, he hated that she would rather die with Peeta than leave him behind for a life of glory and wealth.

whilst he was prepared to kill Lucy Gray for the same result.

when she volunteered in her sisters place at the reaping, he hated that she would rather die than leave her sister behind.

because he’d never do the same for Tigris, even though he arguably “owed” Tigris more than Katniss did Primrose.

when she stepped in to stop commander Thread during Gale’s whipping, he hated that she would rather put herself in the crossfire than let him die.

because he had every opportunity to, but he would never do the same for Sejanus. instead he sent him to his grave.

throughout the entire book Snow keeps choosing money and power over love, and throughout the entire book he tries to gaslight himself into thinking he didn’t have a choice.

Katniss’s actions to some extent forced him to confront his own choices. they forced him to realise that if he hadn’t acted the way he did, he could’ve still had the people he loved by his side.

then there’s the obvious thing with her you know, making the gamemakers and the regime look stupid and well, becoming the unwilling symbol of a rebellion but shh

thank you for coming to my TED talk pookies

Peeta was always endgame no matter how you slice it. Obviously there's the narrative choice, already gone into that, but from a character perspective too.

I mean there's the whole 'gale winds are loud, devastating, and quick to pass' and 'pita (bread) is considered the cornerstone that helped create humanity' thing, there's war vs peace, wrath vs mercy, self vs many, etc etc.

One of them brings destruction (gale is defined by what he kills, be it rabbits or sisters, and the systems he wants to bring down) and the other, creation (peeta is defined by the things he makes - speeches, bread, art).

One of them will end the world, the other will rebuild it from the ashes. Obviously Gale is needed - you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs after all- but he was never a sustainable, long term option.

WHICH THEN BRINGS ME BACK OH SO NICELY to how love IS a central theme of the series, because there HAS to be a 'so after'.

im still thinking abt 3-1's impact on phoenix as a character. because in 3-1 he's so trusting and open and unabashedly friendly until he realizes the truth abt dahlia. and just before dahlia is apprehended, she says this to him:

and after that he.. just doesnt tell anyone anything??? he never did get to tell mia about larry and miles and why he became a lawyer. and he doesn't tell maya either until she literally stops him and forces him to tell her. and he didn't tell maya about miles's disappearance. and he didn't say anything about his involvement with iris at the beginning of 3-5.

and in aa4, that secretiveness is only exacerbated after not only his client but the entire legal system suddenly turned on him. right out of the gate in 4-1, phoenix is very selective with the information he discloses, like when he chooses to plead the fifth and refuses to elaborate on his game with shadi, or when he lies to the judge about his locket (through omission, but a lie nonetheless). and even throughout the game, he never tells anyone about his work on the mason system and he doesn't tell apollo and trucy about their mother.

and not only that, but he works as a poker player!! the entire point of poker is to be secretive and misleading!!! and he keeps up this facade throughout the game, projecting this character of a sleazy, shady poker player, even leaning into the rumors of him forging evidence. all when he's trying to enact generally positive legal reforms!! it's as if he's keeping up this poker face throughout the game, and it only makes him even more secretive and cryptic.

my point is, there's such a stark contrast between the bubbly, emotional, and forthcoming college student phoenix wright and the mysterious, closed-off poker player phoenix wright. and even lawyer phoenix is secretive to a degree!!

and i can't help but think that dahlia's last words to phoenix before she was arrested contributed to that change at least partially. do you think dahlia would have never resorted to murder if phoenix didnt tell anyone abt the necklace? do you think he blames himself for doug swallow's death? he was just innocently gushing about his girlfriend!!! how could he have known it would lead to something like this!?? and if this much harm could have been caused just by telling people about a little necklace, i'd understand why phoenix wouldnt want to talk about his life at all!!

but as much as he's been betrayed or weathered down, no matter how many walls he builds or how he changes, there's one thing that has stayed constant throughout his life as we've seen it, and that's especially apparent with his beanie and locket. his beanie, likely a gift from trucy with the word "papa" stitched onto it, and the locket with a picture of his daughter. both symbols of his love for trucy, just like how he wore the bottle necklace and the sweater made by iris as a sign of his love for her. and if there's anything to glean from these parallels, it's that there's a part of phoenix that never faded away after all those years, that still cares for people so ardently and so strongly and with all his heart. and that's something that will probably never change.

Honestly I don’t get many comments, I used to dress in a more, not necessarily explicit, bold?goth grungy way and even then I didn’t get much. I unfortunately and fortunately have a massive resting bitch face lmao.

Despite the North of England being stereotyped as almost aggressively friendly, people don’t really go out of their way to interact with you outside of reciprocal greetings and smiles.

My grandlin and grandda do however really love how I dress and they’re probably the most prominent source of mori centric compliments in my life! Whenever we go out to lunch or on a walk they always comment on what I’m wearing in a kind manner.

It could also be the fact I’m insanely oblivious to people, and I’m always wearing earplugs hah

One very specific aspect of my experience being a mori girl in a very small town is that almost everyone stares at me.

It doesn't have to be for long, but some people I pass on the street either look at me out of (what I hope to be) genuinely curiosity, or like I just grew an extra pair of arms out of thin air, no in-between. Of course, some don't even acknowledge me or my existence, which is a little bit reassuring to me lmao

I bet this is a very common experience with mori folks (or any other j-fashion wearer), and I understand it to a certain extent. Mori can be quite "eccentric" to outsiders and people that don't know about it. For example, I have had my classmates tell me I look like a porcelain dool, or like I just came out of an old painting, or even that I crawled out of a fairytale book. While all of these observations are HUGE compliments to me, I just wish, as a deeply anxious person, that the staring wasn't as prominent tho 😭

GRAYSON'S USERNAME IN TBH IS NOT RANDOM

so guys in the brother's hawthorne when gray and gigi were talking on a site, i thought gray's username was random generated one

but, it's not :D

lemme show u what i mean

let's divide this into two parts

Nonerrata and 575

the word for errata means list of errors so non-errata means no error

575

is the format for a haiku

AND GUESS WHAT

gray chose to create a haiku as a challenge for his thirteenth birthday where he said that there's "no room for error"

CONCLUSION: nonerrata575 is directly related to ^this conversation

credits for the theory: my irl friends and me :D

AAAAAAAAA I just found something cool!!!!!

Okay so I was going through the Crisp website archive and I managed to find a living blog! It’s not active but the server is live and through scrolling around a bit I found an entire image archive!!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Here’s the blog below btw!!!

But the photo album has some really cool stuff on it, cute coords, behind the scenes of shoots (for mags I can’t find (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)), and store pics!!!

Here’s a couple of example pics!!!!

link to photo album (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)

I’m just a little giddy after this cause I love websurfing!!!

not to be dramatic here but the way that Gale shows no empathy for the miners in the nut and is solely focused on doing things for the good of the war and only stops to think because Katniss, the girl he loves, makes him reminds me a lot of Coriolanus & Lucy Gray.

man wants to have a clear set path to power and doesn’t care about the people he’s harming that could be innocent despite having been in the same situation himself and doesn’t stop to care until the girl he loves brings up the unfairness of it.

like Gale is the type of person to suggest the hunger games 😭

Until TGG comes out with a reason for why Ave and the gang chose Hawthorne island for the location (y'know the same island where a house exploded, two nepo babies died, all the blame was put on Hannah's sister, and it's the very thing that's been haunting Toby ever since)

I'm gonna start calling it, “Alisa Ortega's biggest PR nightmare”

Real footage of Alisa finding out where the second TGG will be

I think part of the reason why I'm so obsessed with Dahlia is because her and Phoenix are such great foils of each other.

Like, they're both the only people we know who've fallen from Dusky Bridge into the Eagle River and survived, but Phoenix accidentally fell because he was trying to protect his family while Dahlia was purposefully trying to leave hers

And on the subject of family, Dahlia tries so hard to hold disdain for and distance herself from her biological family, whereas Phoenix cares so much about and tries so hard to keep ahold of his found family

In addition, even though Dahlia appears at first glance to be a good actor, she actually loses her composure/drops the act/messes up her story very quickly. On the other hand, Phoenix appears to be a completely open book, but he's actually one of the most secretive characters in AA, and his bluffing skills are of course legendary

There's just... so much to compare between these two. They're selfishness vs. selflessness; they're a killer masquerading as an angel vs. a white knight viewed by many as a corrupt defender of murderers; they're deception vs. the truth. And yet they're also so similar in their passion, drive, and downright stubbornness. And that always makes me wonder whether them meeting under different circumstances might have led to them being friends (or if they're so different they'd be enemies no matter what)

yeah uhm we poisoned your boyfriend. he was being a nosy little bitch so we spiked his coffee and he's in a coma now. he uh. he won't be waking up for another 6 years, and when he finally does wake up you won't be around to greet him. oh and he's gonna Come Back Wrong, too. yeah he'll become a very bitter, vengeful man with his heart set on trying to salvage what little he has left in the world, and he'll ultimately sort of fail at that. sorry. i hope the transgender sex was good while it lasted.
