He don’t need y’all creating burner accounts about him, we know he has them to cheat on his wife on the regular

I want to be so clear that I'm not saying this with any sense of hipsterish superiority or smugness over knowing about a cool thing first, but having followed Chappell Roan since Pink Pony Club dropped as a single in early 2022, watching her become a name that everyone else suddenly knows seemingly overnight has been dizzying. I had a feeling she was going to be big, but I never imagined it would be this big this fast.

4. “Come back with me.” & “Library”?

"Where are you going?"

Clint froze, his finger resting on the button for the elevator. Turning around he saw Natasha standing in the open plan living room, arms folded across her chest and an eyebrow raised. "Uh....Library?"

"At," Natasha glanced at her watch, "ten-thirty at night?"

"Trust me, that's when the place start hopping."

Natasha didn't move, not buying Clint's story but at the same time not sure if she should push it. "Can I come?"

"But only if you can get ready in five minutes." Clint snuck a glance at his phone, wondering if he could lose Natasha in the crowd.

"Give me four." Natasha called over her shoulder as she headed towards her room.

--

Natasha stared at the building, hearing the muffled bass as they drew closer. "You said you were going to the library."

"This place is called Library. They have themed drinks after authors and books." Clint replied breezily, bypassing the line much to the displeasure of everyone standing in it and nodded to the bouncer. "How's it going Cliff?"

"Not bad." Cliff replied, unhooking the red rope and standing aside so Clint could enter.

"Tell Toni I said hi." Clint took Natasha's hand to show that she was with him, stepping into the bar and the crush of people inside.

"I'll get us a table." Natasha all but shouted over the music and conversations that were going on.

"I'll get us some drinks." Clint motioned his head towards the bar.

Natasha didn't have any trouble snagging a high-top table and glanced around the space, taking in the trendy and hipsterish vibe. Bookcases filled the space with a mix of alcohol bottles and books filling the shelves, with those rolling ladders behind the bar so the bartenders could climb them and get bottles as they needed.

"A 'Dostoevsky' or 'It was a Dark and Stormy Night'?" Clint asked as he set two cocktails down on the table before sitting down in the opposite chair.

Natasha looked at the drinks before saying, "That looks like a White Russian."

"It is, they just named it after the Russian author." Clint smiled as Natasha looked slightly amused at the joke.

"How long have you been coming here?" Natasha asked after they had put in their orders for some bar food. "Because the bouncer seemed to know you by name."

"A friend from my private security days. Said he could hook me up if I ever wanted to get it." Clint shrugged, not wanting to elaborate on how they had exactly met. That was the one rule they had, they didn't ask about the others past; that way they didn't have to become compromised.

"It's nice to have those kinds of friends." Natasha gave Clint a smile, knowing that he was still dealing with his past like she was. "Want to come back with me after?"

"We live in the same apartment."

Natasha let out a laugh before finishing the rest of her drink, "Humor me."

"Okay. Yes, I'd like to come back with you."

"Good. Because you're paying." Natasha signaled for another drink as their waitress walked past while Clint let a good natured smile appear.

Feeling hipsterish today

[todayintokyo]

Hi there! Hope you’re well and not melting away in the humidity. I am super excited to be planning a trip to Japan again after almost four years away. Considering I lived 1) in Kansai-ish territory and 2) near Nagoya, I never got much chance to explore Tokyo outside of the usual tourist places. I already have Jinbocho on my list (along with one of the Aoyama flower market tea houses and Nakano Broadway)— do you have any suggestions for what’s fun in Tokyo for someone who is a little more experienced with the area?

Welcome back!

Now here's a challenge! I don’t know whether you're looking for new & trendy, or old & traditional, and a lot depends on the season, but…

1) Stroll from Ueno Park or Nezu to Yanaka and Sendagi. See if you can find Snake Street and follow its curves. Yanaka is as Kyoto as Tokyo gets. Yanaka and Kagurazaka.

2) Shibamata for more old Edo vibes. Cross the river on the ferry. Only ferry in Tokyo.

3) Sunamachi Ginza Shopping District in Koto-ku: another old area that's being transformed by gentrification.

4) Get lost in Shibuya Station, just for fun, but take tranquilizers with you. Walk from Shibuya via Shoto to Yoyogi Park. Shoto is one of the wealthiest areas in Tokyo, but it's not as famous as, say, Azabu-Juban or Denenchofu. Stop at Levain for bread and Fuglen for coffee.

5) Explore the swanky, hipsterish areas of Kichijōji, Shimokitazawa, Daikanyama. Take the Setagaya Tram Line from Sangenjaya to Gotokuji and visit the temple birthplace of the famous maneki-neko. Lots of tiny shops and quaint shopping streets in a relatively upmarket area along the way.

6) Okutama. Walk along the Mitake Valley Riverside Trail, from Ikusabata to Sawai, stop for sake at the Sawanoi Sake Brewery, visit the Gyokudo Museum. You can continue past Mitake to the Okutama Fishing Centre. If you are here in autumn, you'll see breathtaking autumn colours.

7) Yokohama! Not exactly Tokyo, but a nice day trip. Minato-Mirai, Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery (no, seriously, Google it), Sankeien Gardens.

I'm not a food expert, but there are really nice restaurants in all these areas. Add Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho to your list: great atmosphere. (There's a maze under the tracks between Yurakucho and Shimbashi. Well worth a visit, but it gets a bit dystopian.) Museums? Fukagawa Edo Museum in Kiyosumi, all the art museums in Ueno Park. Plants 'n stuff? Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome. Shinjuku Gyoen remains my favourite Tokyo park/garden.

It's very touristy, but so iconic that it's really worth it: New York Bar and Grill in the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Expensive though. Cocktail Works is a craft gin bar in Kanda (close to Jimbocho), and a very good alternative (but without the glorious view) (which is the whole point) (actually).

Oh, by the way, Piss Alley in Shinjuku? So yesterday. Try Sankaku Chitai in Sangenjaya or Nogecho in Yokohama instead. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Best free and still relatively uncrowded view of skyline: Bunkyo Civic Center observation lounge. Shh again.

Would this suffice? If you send more details about your timing and what you're interested in, I'll happily add more.

Enjoy the planning as much as the trip! 😊

Well i jus think people should take spencer seriously as a character. like i KNOW it's a comedy series it's not that deep yadda yadda. but like The whole thing is like. Ok. Spencer's character in general presents ideas of playing into a certain image a certain subculture so hard that it impacts Literally everything you do. not, like, directly but it's all implied. Everything she mentions liking, she likes ironically, Irony being, of course, a staple of contemporary hipsterism! That's her thing. like im just saying. There's a REASON that she never mentions LIKING onion rings, just that fries are conformist and onion rings are slightly less popular. and the thing about the mp3 player which like. I don't know how to verbalize how that fits in with it exactly but . something something the onion rings and the mp3 player present a more appealing, more Hipsterish image than the fries. fucking whatever. i like spencer ok

[gpuzzle]

I need to get these thoughts out so ignore if you'd like this is very much a moment of diaristic journaling with little value beyond self-intrispection or perhaps catharsis

so I'm going on a date with R in the near yet unspecified future; R is a really cool pharmacist I met that's also a hugely heady character into Bergman and Tarkovsky and Woolf. I don't think she's visually super hot; I think she's at most kinda cute, in general she seems very plain

but she's sharp as a knife and because of the whole aspect of her as a person that wants to watch nouvelle vague with me that just pierces any and all possible barriers

I am an easy target as far as general attraction; being ostensibly cultured/hipsterish gets you 90% of the way there

she'd been meaning to straighten her hair, alright, that takes forever

so our date got postponed to next week, which I'm sure is fine in the grand scheme of things

but I want to meet her in person and break the barrier of me only getting to see her partially and through a largely 9:16 screen; I know in person she'll likely look less plain. and damn if I'm not disappointed

and she was hesitant of the date because I've been holding back on how interesting she seems to me because the last time I went for someone that was that cool after going after her for the better part of 8 months, saying "I'm gonna be her friend" to getting to go on dates, and the moment I commit she didn't follow

and I crashed so hard I needed six months of monastic spiritual retreat on a work - go home - get high cycle

I don't want to go through that again

fucking spectre haunting me still

One thing I did not expect when writing Sunset was learning global opinions on 1. Sandals + socks and 2. Birkenstocks in general.

The first I already had a pretty good sense of--popular in Germany, absolutely lambasted in North America, unclear about everywhere else in the world. What I have learned is that sandals + socks is a Look in Hungary, so Achilles, have at it.

The Birkenstocks is such a funnier one to me. Their reputation across the globe first and foremost is expensive, which is earned. I was told earlier today that they are the shoe of lesbians in the 90s. "Does she wear comfortable shoes" was once a sort of code for asking if a woman was gay, so yeah. Birkenstocks originally had a hard time getting a footing in the US market because they were so ugly, no shoe store would sell them. Thus, they were first sold in health food stores.

In the 2010s, I was wearing ten year old hand-me-down birkenstocks while doing some shopping in my college town when a local high school girl decided on the spot to make up a bullying song about me and my jesus shoes, which she reprised every time I walked past. It was mildly hurtful.

In choosing Birkenstocks for our dear Pat, I was thinking mainly how they have gone from a reputation of geeky to trendy and back again, how they are vaguely hipsterish (and he's the right age group to be one), how they are associated with city-dwelling, tree-hugging liberals, and how they last forever, so that if he did buy them in his peak hipster days, he still has them in his closet.

I was absolutely thrilled today to learn that some gay men in Europe have a Thing for guys in birkenstocks, finding them particularly hot, a notion that does not exist in the US whatsoever. Sorry, wearing Birkenstocks here will not pull anyone, socks or no.

Pat, having spent the first decade of his life in Europe, may well have been influenced by this. Perhaps during his development he gained a very specific kind of fondness for comfortable German shoes made of cork. Regardless, he's spent enough time in the US to know that socks + stocks is repulsive.

Hi, Jen! I just wanted to tell you how much I love your Bakery& Spooky Store, especially the apartment above the bakery. It's such a lovely apartment! I don't even own GTW expansion pack, I knew I wouldn't be able to play as the owner, so I planned to place this lot and redecorate it to fit the requirements for a café or something, but as soon as I saw the apartment and the little garden, I wanted to keep it. I ended up making this lot a residential, where my sims live upstairs and have a pretend "business" on the ground floor. It's been so many things over the years: there was a bakery (selling cupcakes through the base game cupcake machine and "sell to the local bakery" option), a flower shop, a hipsterish furniture store (bakery's kitchen became a workshop and my sim got to exhibit the chairs he made in a pretentious interior), an abandoned arcade (my criminal sim had the best parties there). It became my sim's personal office every time they chose a career that allowed working from home.

Before I placed this lot, I thought I was a type of a simmer who mainly plays with families, but since the apartment had one bedroom and was only fit for a single sim or a couple, I've learned to have fun with that too! Never before this lot had my sims made so many connections! The annoying visitors that come to your lot randomly and knock on the door weren't annoying anymore, they somehow became relevant to the story surrounding the "business" that I currently had on the lot. My holiday decorations got much more creative with having to decorate both the apartment and the commercial space, my sim's parties became much more fun too. The most beautiful wedding I've ever had with my sims was on this lot, in their very own bakery. Anyway, you probably got the idea already, this is my favourite lot of all time, I can go on about it for ages..

Thank you so much for sharing your builds! They are truly inspiring! This build alone reinvented the game for me, I have a great time with it to this day. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Anon!! This was so sweet! It actually made me a little emotional. I'm so glad you enjoyed my bakery build and got so much use out of it. I loved reading about all of the creative ways you used it! Who would have thought it would be a good place for an abandoned arcade where a criminal Sim throws great parties? LOL. I love it!

Thank you so much for this lovely long note! It totally made my week. I don't build much anymore but it's cool to know that people are still having fun with my builds. Hope you continue to have fun with your game, dear Anon! Happy Simming! ❤️

[aretarers]

im so glad for my hipsterish tendencies back when i was like 12 years old cause while they probably made me a dick at times they ALSO made me a tried and true fnaf hater since way back when. fnaf hater forever and always 🫶 🫶 🫶 🫶 🫶

Wow! Those Layla outfits are really cool! (I'm another anon, I'm not the one who ask haha).

But, if you don't mind, I always wondered how Steven's outfits would be, mostly in general, but according to Red Flags, how do you think he would dress?

Just to have a reference, you really are a genius writing for all the boys <3

I hope you get better soon Cici, I know this isn't much but, here, have a cookie 🍪 :)

I FREAKING LOVE THIS QUESTION!!

So I remember reading an interview with Feige discussing the costume choices for Moon Knight and in particular he had this to say about Steven's clothing that I LOVED and I use it quite a bit as my reference point when I try to describe Steven and his look overall:

 Steven lives in… a part of London that’s cool, but Steven’s not super cool. So, like, how can he kind of blend in there and not get overly noticed, but still look like he belongs there? So I found these really great vintage shirts, and it's kind of in style for men to wear a little bit baggier pants

So the way I imagine Steven is very much the typical thrift shopping things you'll find in London through Oxfam or a vintage shop in Hackney or Dalston. And Steven just has the look of a kid who borrowed his dad's clothes, they're oversized and baggy on him, a bit hipsterish, but he just makes it look so endearing. He likes fashion, he's just not the best with sizing and tailored fitting, but he isn't afraid to mix it up with colours, and novelty prints and patterns and the man is a sucker for animal prints. His fashion is fun. But London is also grey and dreary and cold af, so think a lot of warm cozy patterned jumpers in Autumn and Winter and novelty print shirts in the spring.

Now unfortunately because pinterest male fashion isn't fun, I couldn't quite nail down the vision I had. But this is the closest I got.

Yes, Yiddish is a language in which contemporary music is written.  But, to be honest, a lot of contemporary American Yiddishists really seem to prefer a somewhat retro aesthetic.  It’s easy to listen to a lot of modern American Yiddish music and feel that it’s kind of a translation of pre-war Yiddish society into a mildly hipsterish modern day.

This is not that kind of Yiddish song.  This piece is from an album put out by a Polish Yiddish singer, Maria Ka, emphasizing women’s perspectives on modern life.  To quote from the video description (because it’s a fantastic description of the piece, and you should hear it from the artist herself): “"Gikhe trit גיכע טריט" ( eng. "Fast steps" ) is an anthem dedicated to progression, motion, Future and leaving behind fossilized structures ▪️  it is a radar pointed explicitly at equality, especially the one concerning gender ▪️ a sung call for letting the Planet blossom, together with making place for its natural rhythm, mild roughness and wildness wrapped in soft ragging ▪️ the general thought of this song cultivates progress and the focus on what's going to happen rather than on the past ▪️ it’s a description of constant motion and development, accompanied by the message of abandoning stiff, obsolete organizations that hamper progression and women’s full equality in public life ▪️ both Musically & linguistically immersed in futurism, avantgarde and in - version ▪️”

While we’re talking about “his” songwriting, can I just say I never got the hype around FL? Cause not only were harries hyping it up but locals too, some locals that don’t even like him!! I feel like I listened to the wrong album because?? I guess the songs are decent (not really my taste but) but it has like 0 artistic direction and I don’t understand what’s so “iconic” about it? I remember the first time I heard it I was so disappointed but I forced myself to like it. I also don’t understand the people that love FL and act like HH is such a downgrade because they seem like the same (low) quality to me

it was in the era where he was still being hyped up as the queer artistic deep thoughtful socially aware hipsterish musical artist. before his DWD/MP stuff exposed him. before people got sick of him. before people could criticise him.

so all the outlets were hyping it up because they wanted it to be good. it's just a generic album. it's inoffensive. it arrived just before the pandemic so no other musical stuff was coming out at that time. i also think people have a funny hipster quality to that album where they act like it was his prime and he was so good because it's cooler than liking his last album because that makes them basic bitches?

i'm curious what sort of reviews future albums will have now that people feel they can criticise and mock him.
