When I discovered that jirai kei was not just a style but a subculture I was very impressed but happy to finally understand why jirai kei was associated with mental illness or mentally illed characters like menhera chan or KAngel. I would like to ask, can people who don't actually have mental problems still dress in jirai kei? And what defines jirai kei clothing? Hope this reaches you!! ^^

Of course - regardless of me joking all the time about it, as long as you’re respectful to what jirai is and don’t try to invalidate actual jirais (who are mentally ill etc), you should wear whatever you want and whatever makes you happy. c: Jirai Kei is very popular as just a “fashion” right now and a lot of people who wear it, wear it just because is pretty but personally I think they are more “mass produced type (ryousangata - which isn’t obviously the same thing when it comes to the fashion, but they fit perfectly the definition or ryo rather than landmine type)” than Jirai Kei, but that’s on me.

What defines jirai clothing?

1. Color Palette

• Dominated by dark shades like black, deep purples, and dark reds, with occasional soft pinks or whites.

• The colors are supposed to give this creepy/cute vibe, mysterious and romantic.

2. Silhouettes and Layering

• Usually the coord will be a blouse + a skirt (not always tho, some jirai brands make shorts, long skirts, dresses etc, the brand that experiments the most is dearmylove imo.), they will usually just be in two colors -> one black + one lighter/dark. For example black and white, black and pink, black and red, black and purple.. but there are coords that are only black! (But it also depends on the specific item you’re wearing - some set up’s are just one colour and they can be even light blue with white, so I would say that what matters is what brand you’re wearing and stuff like accessories, makeup etc) -> it’s hard to describe the exact look of the clothes so I will just add pictures. (But there is bunch of videos on YouTube, I’m horrible at explaining this stuff but I try 😭)

3. Accessories

• accessories include chokers (or specific pieces from brands like VW) , platform shoes (especially bubbles ones), stockings, bows.

4. Makeup

• usually for someone to immediately recognise that you’re jirai will be the makeup -> pien makeup, this is the type of makeup that is supposed to make you look sad (cuz pien is facial expression that reminds of this emoji 🥺), like you’re about to cry, basically pleading face. Ofc I will post a little tutorial/reference, but there is a lot of tutorials from Japanese jirais that are amazing at it. I would say that contact lenses are also doing a lot when it comes to it!

5. Editing

It’s very much normal in jirai culture to edit your pictures heavily and add filters that are very very pink. But it’s not a thing you must do, but it nice to keep it in mind.

As I said, I’m not the best person when it comes to explaining the fashion itself so I would recommend just looking how jirai looks on other platforms and watch videos about it on YouTube! Especially to know the difference between jirai and ryo 🩷

Hi everyone 👋🏾

I haven’t posted any reminders since about August, so I thought I’d just share a few friendly reminders, more so for new followers, while I’m thinking of them and have a moment:

I’ve said this before but it doesn’t hurt to reiterate. Please remember I do my best to be objective, but sometimes I like to voice my opinion. In that instance, I disclaim where I want to speculate. Clips are provided for you to draw your own conclusions. Taekook speak for themselves so letting their actions and words do the talking is very easy to do☺️I have a total blast chronologically archiving their beautiful bond over the years, sourced by fan cams and official videos. When there are opinions, or even controversies surrounding a moment, I add those for posterity as well. With time, moments get forgotten, or antis try to distort things (which is incredibly sad). I’m determined to do my best to archive Taekook interactions for preservation. Anything that delves into theory will always be disclaimed as such. I addressed this more deeply late 2021 but here’s the recap - https://at.tumblr.com/taekooktimeline/hello-in-light-of-some-comments-ive-come-across/te337t9us2jm

I only have one Twitter (kakostel) and I just set up a fan IG (KaylaTK9597). The IG page will probably collect dust since Twitter is still existing😆but feel free to follow and I’ll follow back.

Because I have a tendency to follow back, especially if it’s not a brand new account and we have moots in common, it should go without saying but I’m not responsible for opinions expressed by others. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on things. I refuse to police, nor do I care to. I also can’t possibly keep track of what all my moots are up to. The big reason why I’d break being mutuals is if someone is not equally supporting and respecting both Taehyung and Jungkook. That’s an absolute must to me. Otherwise, you do you and I’ll do me❣️

I’m NOT in DMs❌ This version of the timeline and my tweets speak for me. There’s nothing I need to say in private.

I’m equally Taehyung and Jungkook biased☺️

I’m here to support Taehyung and Jungkook - individually and together, in all the ways I can, to the best of my ability. I’ll never stop saying that the sky's the limit for them because it’s true, and I’ll forever be proud of these two. They’re beautiful humans inside and out and I have all the confidence that things will always work out for them in their favor.

I’ve done my best to make the platforms I use safe and positive spaces for me to support and love Taekook. My anxiety dictates firm boundaries and I’m determined to keep them. I’m not interested in anyone’s background noise, negativity or insecurity. All of that is irrelevant. I am here for Taehyung/ Jungkook / Taekook. I posted this on November 7 but think it’s good to share here -

For Twitter, this tends to mean I RT posts, with the occasional fun Taekook video edit when I have time to make it. I’m not as active as some in being vocal but, again, I think the blog and my video edits speak for me. I addressed this around August 2022 but here’s the recap - https://at.tumblr.com/taekooktimeline/hi-everyone-i-hope-youre-all-doing-well-i-feel/z1pmufm4scky

I think most who follow me know but I’m studying Japanese. It seems to help my mind when I get too anxious, though it’s a very hard language to learn (とてもむずかしいよ😭). Some pieces in the blog have Japanese translations I worked hard on. I’m quite proud of those because it shows my progress in my personal life, while also giving me a means to verify a Japanese subtitled Taekook interaction, or J ARMY sighting, without the need for translators (I still have so many years to go, though. I tend to panic when someone speaks the language and my mind goes blank. I’m at a third grade level with kanji which means I still tend to fall back on hiragana, which is a problem when kanji is pretty prevalent). Two links to posts I built around my studies -

I provided a Taekook Spotify playlist link in my mini update but here it is again. Please keep streaming and supporting them 💜

We’re getting into the holidays, which is my favorite time of the year. Please remember to prioritize yourself and your mental health, and set boundaries where they’re needed. Social media is quite draining and toxic so take breaks if you need them. I’ve been fortunate to meet a lot of ARMY in person, some I consider best friends. Please believe me when I say ARMY outside of SM is a massively stark contrast to the ugliness you see when there’s anonymity behind screens. Keep that in mind and try to ignore the noise of others. And remember that real life should always comes first💜
