#i will try to update this regularly

[eastgaysian]

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.

if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]

even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.

List of Lolita Resources

Someone in my comm encouraged me to make this list of resources for new lolitas. We were talking about how hard it can be to find information from Google search and there's just so much misinformation out there. I have a list of links that I've bookmarked and read over the past decade for when I finally become a lolita. I organized the list by sections in a specific order. It goes from information about the fashion and then to where to buy it.

To any new lolitas, there is so much information out there about lolita fashion that is still available. Part of the fun for me was researching the fashion, looking at coords, and learning what makes lolita lolita. There's so much information out there for you to immerse yourself in and even more stuff that's not listed in this resource list.

What is Lolita Fashion

Fyeah Lolita - This is my favorite blog and I still go back and read it. The last post was made in 2016 and the fashion has changed a lot since then, but it's pretty comprehensive and provides a good base knowledge. Imo, I think these articles (1 2 3 4) are required reading for anyone entering the fashion Lolita Fashion 101 - Bay Area Kei did several videos on lolita fashion during lockdowns. I recommend them for anyone that prefers video format. Raine Dragon's Lolita 101 series - Raine is a lolita that still updates her blog and has a lot of information on the history of lolita fashion. And she has a really great article on Chinese indie brands that should also be required reading for anyone new to using Taobao.

Costs of Lolita Manufacturing - One of the first things you'll notice is that lolita can be expensive. This resource breaks down the costs associated with manufacturing and why brands charge what they charge.

Substyles of Lolita Fashion

The below links are for the three basic styles of lolita fashion. If you research more, you'll find that there are different directions that you can take your wardrobe, but I recommend starting with one of the three above to make it easier for to build your wardrobe. Classic Lolita Sweet Lolita Gothic Lolita

Where to get Lolita Fashion

Before even buying anything, you will need a tape measure to take your measurements. You'll need to measure your bust, waist, hips, and shoulder width in centimeters. That's how you will find out which clothes will fit you. Sizing can be different from brand to brand and country to country. I know many are used to buying using letter sizes, but it's best to go by actual measurements. Aim to buy clothes that are 4 - 6cm larger than your actual measurements to allow room for breathing/eating/etc. If you're brand new to the fashion, I highly recommend sticking to the sources listed in the videos below. It's very easy to get scammed if you don't know what to look for and I'd hate for anyone to lose their money on barely wearable clothes from Amazon/Ebay/Aliexpress. Where to Buy Lolita FashionHow to shop for Lolita Fashion online - secondhand is life for lolita fashion and there are so many options. PinkFakeFlowers goes in depth into the many ways to get it. I personally recommend 42lolita for anyone looking to buy from Chinese brands on Taobao.

Plus Size Lolita

Unfortunately, many of the Japanese brands and even some Chinese indie brands are not size inclusive. If you can't fit into the mainstream brands, don't worry there are still options. I always recommend Meta since they have a Plus Size and occasionally a Plus Plus size of their dresses and blouses that goes up to 160cm or even 200cm in some releases. Plus Size Lolita Crash Course Where to Start as a Plus Sized Lolita - This is a wonderful resource listing brands that are size inclusive.

Online Spaces for Lolita Fashion

Lolita fashion is pretty spread out now compared to the EGL (still recommend reading livejournal because its a cool time capsule of the lolita comm) days, but there are still groups on Facebook. BSoLF - Great for beginners to ask questions and be helped by others. It's hard to search here but I recommend looking through the group for info. Your Local Comm (if applicable) - most are still on Facebook even if they still have a Discord. You can search for your local one on this list.

More Resources for New Lolitas

Lolita Tips for New Lolitas Three helpful tips for coordinating an outfit Lolita Tips Tumblr - I don't recommend Fanplusfriend anymore, but 42lolita is a good replacement. This tumblr is a great resource for inspo and there are many answered asks to reference. Unfortunately, polyvore is no longer a thing and many pictures are missing as a result.

These are just a mishmash of links to resources/lists/blog that I like.

A totally random compilation

("Knockout" can mean an extremely attractive person for those who don't get it)

(Honestly, just pretend I uploaded the entire segment the following screencap is from):

(For context, in the segment where the screenshot below is from, Nickelwise is trying to scare Dot by using her vanity against her, claiming that "cuteness fades"):

(Like with The Cutening, pretend I uploaded this entire segment):

(She literally says "Alright Dot, kill her with cuteness" here):

(And this is a direct reference to the Animaniacs Sega Genesis game where she uses her cuteness/heart projectiles as an attack):

All This Time I Could've Been Loving You Chapter 3: I Could Get Used To This, Waking Up In Your Arms

The morning light crept softly into their campsite, filtering through the leaves above and casting dappled patterns across the ground. Callum stirred first, the warmth of the sun drawing him from the depths of slumber. He blinked, momentarily disoriented, until he remembered where he was and the wonderful presence beside him.

Rayla lay nestled against him, her hair a tousled halo around her face, soft breaths escaping her lips. A smile crept across Callum’s face as he took in the sight. She looked peaceful, utterly beautiful, and for a moment, he simply watched her, savoring the intimacy of the moment.

Unable to resist, he gently brushed a few stray strands of hair away from her face, his fingers lingering on her cheek. She stirred slightly, a soft sigh escaping her before her violet eyes fluttered open. Upon meeting his gaze, her lips curved into a sleepy smile.

“Good morning,” she murmured, her voice still thick with sleep.

“Morning, beautiful,” Callum replied, his heart swelling at the sight of her.

Rayla blinked slowly, her violet eyes sparkling in the soft morning light as she processed his words. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and she stretched her arms above her head. “Did you just call me beautiful?” she asked, feigning surprise.

“Of course I did,” he grinned, leaning closer to press a soft kiss to her forehead. “Because you are, especially when you wake up like this.”

Her cheeks flushed pink, and she brushed her hair back, still slightly disheveled from sleep. “Callum,”

Callum chuckled, enjoying the way her shyness illuminated her features. “Well, it’s the truth. You know I’m not one to hold back from saying what I think.”

TUTOR AU

Liam doesn't understand biology. Like at all. Well maybe he would if he payed more attention but he's not the one to blame - who even came up with this subject? And he wouldn't even care if it wasn't for the exam. An important one. The one his future depends on. The one which will decide if he repeats this year or not. And well - he doesn't want to stay behind.

Payed tutor? Hell no! Liam doesn't want to disappoint his parents - they already had enough. That's when youtube takes the stage and the endless search for the right teacher begins.

Just until he finds him. His explanations - perfect. Examples - understandable. His voice - Liam could listen to him for hours. And his videos are only 30 minutes long!

But now there's another problem - Liam cannot concentrate on the topic. At all. Not than for all 30 minutes he looks at stunningly handsome boy, who's much more interesting than any biology topic.

PART 1

I've decided to try something new and here I am with my first socmed au! It was so fun actually. Though I'll still mix it with drawings and some drabbles but mainly it's a socmed!
