THIS IS SO CUTE I CANT 😭

Stella and Shiro revstar wanna be remisaku so bad but the young mistress/maid trope in a mostly realistic modern day setting comes across as Very inappropriate to me.

not to mention remisaku are 500 and 20+ respectively while those two are what, 14? why is this middle schooler that other middle schooler's servant??

"her whole family are their servants so she is too" that does not make it better even slightly.

Sweet lolita through the years

Part 2

2005-2008 (ish) “midschool” sweet

Moving out of the oldschool era we start to see sweet Lolita becoming more like we know it today. While solid color mainpieces and simpler styling were still common, printed pieces and more accessories were becoming more popular.

This transitional period between oldschool and the iconic 2010s ott era is often left out in conversations about Lolita history despite it really having its own interesting trends.

In general this era was very glamorous in its trends- gyaru was a huge influence on the trends and you can absolutely see that influence.

This is the period where balancing colors and having elaborately themed coords started. Brands really started to have their own styles and identities.

As a sort of in between of heavy prints and solids appliqué prints and screen prints were very popular at the time. Brands put a lot out and the community caught onto this trend very quickly

I also often see coords from the early part of this era mislabeled as oldschool despite them already being quite modern. I do think there’s overlap, especially around 2005-2006 but familiarizing yourself with the styling differences makes it pretty easy to see the differences. The “new” way of coording at the time was far more sweet, more elaborate, more detailed, and more accessorized. THIS is the period where tea parties, modern usakumya designs, baby’s heart bags, and many other iconic designs that are often labeled as oldschool were made. Mislabeling them as oldschool both harms the ability to properly emulate oldschool and erases the history of the transitional period between then and the ott era. Wrist cuffs were also becoming common place at this point.

Printed socks started to become both more elaborate and more popular though lace topped otks stayed pretty common and popular in this period.

Jewelry got more detailed and cutesy. Plastic jewelry started to become more common, however more detailed metal jewelry was the majority of what you’ll see. Jewelry and socks that matched the motifs of dresses started to become the standard at this point.

Other accessories were very varied though mini Alice bows were really the most popular and common. A lot of fun and experimental headpieces like plastic headbands, mini hats, and the always iconic napayoshi bunny bonnet were made in this time.

Novelty bags and heavily printed totes also started to become more common and popular. Strangely it seems that plush animal bags fell out of popularity until the tail end of this era moving into the ott craze. Printed hand bags were the most popular, but some shaped novelty bags were still made- especially towards the end of this period.

This is one of the first Lolita eras where hair and makeup became a big part of styling a coord. With the popularization of gyaru you could see many influences in how Lolita’s did their hair and makeup both in this period and in the 2010s. Though the makeup was simpler and typically didn’t veer into full gyaru territory until the later part into the 2010s

More accessories like wrist cuffs, faux collars, brooches, gloves and little chains that clipped from one jsk strap to the other were seen at this time too. Faux fur in details was extremely popular with some brands even including fur trims on their mainpieces. Pearls, polkadots, charms, and florals were all also rampant.

Motifs were all over the place at the time but some of the most popular / common were: poodles, cakes / sweets, polkadots, Alice / card / trumps, berries, crowns, cats, houndstooth, florals, and crowns!

My most fucked up fantasy is that i want to pretend to be a midschool girl. And that my trans girlfriend is my mother and every day i come from school she just rapes my pussy and forces me to suck her cock. While she says how much of a slut i am for being a kid.

i hope you and your girlfriend can reenact this fantasy anon! :)

Midschool kyo but im at my grand grandmother’s house and i forgot the eraser

Is the Rollo hype real????? Wh-why???? Like, please, I genuinely don't get it????? Boy looks like a midschooler version of uncooked chiken!!! Whoever did his hair needs to be thrown in jail!

Sometimes you must look beyond the atrocious haircut to see the appeal, as is the same with someone like Rook. <3 Rollo is perfect and beloved and babygirl and handsome to me. There are many reasons to love Rollo, but if it's the haircut or the sickly pale complexion or the dark circles under the eyes that you dislike then you can always love him in the dark. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

For one, he has cute hobbies and interests...like stealing everyone's magic. It's very gap moe!!! He likes to write in a diary and his favorite food is a croissant. Very fluffy and adorable contrast to how he acts outwardly. <3 but also he just needs a hug after going through so much tragedy. >_< and also lots of therapy, but then this goes for most (if not all) of the twst cast.

Also!!! He is student council president. :) a man in power will always be a threat, but no matter how dangerous or cold he seems he's actually quite soft beneath that. Also his UM is so COOL?????? orz I love it a lot. And his school uniform is very pretty!! And he has a handkerchief that he uses to hide his expressions. Very cute and polite of him. He is the ideal man (to me). <3

Also also!!! Religious metaphors + Rollo???? Crazy good combination. For when god, untouchable and aureate, abandons mortal, mortal must then seek solace in the same flesh and blood with which he is composed...or something like that with Rollo hehe. He is going to deify you no matter what, and maybe the thing he hates most is the thing he ends up loving. So if you're a magic user, you're immediately put on Rollo's hit list until he falls obsessively in love with you and suddenly he has to keep you pure and untainted from other sinful magic users. >:( wuuwuwuaaaaaa there's so much more I can say, but when it comes to Rollo I will always ramble energetically. ^^;;;;

And most of all, his chibi is too cute. T^T <3

What do you think of Thumbelina? I have heard it's one of Don Bluth's weaker films, but I want to hear your two cents on the film.

The movie doesn't really stick with me; I think it has lovely animation and a stellar plot, but the universe Bluth creates his movies in always feels like a bad fever dream from midschool for me lol the music has its merit and the visuals are stunning and, while I tend to get into it every decade or so, it's just something that doesn't have much lasting power with me, personally.

I for one AM STUPID stupid, but I remember Ao3 actually scared me since during the time (middleschool) I was under the impression that Ao3 was for big kids (highschoolers) and so I stayed off of it and used wattpad since it was the dumber/simpler of the two and since it was already full of dumb midschoolers (myself included) I was like 'ah yes, when I reach highschool I can graduate fanfic" something i never really did as by the time i reached highschool I was already horrible truamatized by wattpad (I was a bnha fic writer, which was a massive mistake) and so i just swore off of fanfic for my own sake, I will add that before wattpad i used quotev for my fanfic needs since i liked that it had quizes too

ohhh… you guys are like… STUPID stupid

Pulled one of my midschool flatland rigs down from the rafters in the basement today, put some fresh goodies on it and tuned it up, and practiced Decades in the driveway for a little bit. Surprised about feeling a little better today...

(not the og anon) oooohhh I totally get the deer-rabbit combo coz mj is so bunny coded too, and idk if y'all still rmb this but mj loves bunnies when she was still a midschooler and ppl around her calls her tokki/mintokki as her nickname. i doubt one can still rmb that coz literally there's only a few wintokki enjoyers here and when she said that (i think it was a bbl yapping sesh or in an interview) it wasn't hyped that much compared to winpup topic which is sad 😭😭 we need to reproduce like bunnies too, quick!!!

omg i did know she loved bunnies theres even a pic of her with it but didnt know ppl called her mintokki thats so cute!!

jm is on the bunny agenda too

There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat.

One of my midschool art teachers had a bulge. Not a demure, mindful bulge. No, Mrs. █████████ was a fat woman who walked around with about one and a quarter yankee footballs between her legs.

And not once in my three-four years in tweenage hell did I hear a single person say anything about it. Because, commenting on other people's bodies in that way is simply not polite, and even 14 year olds brats that bullied me understood that being impolite to a person with authority would have consequences.

Which didn't stop my tweenage peers from transphobically bullying my younger sibling. Bullies and bibots are always looking for socially acceptable targets to inflict their cruelty onto while cowarding away from harrassing any person whose position in the social heirarchy would cause them consequence.

That's all them so-called transvestigations are: Misogyny in want of the justification of an 'acceptable target.'

It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

bad news!!!

on the way, driving, to pick them up from school,

I got this msg from son,

he said, "bad news!", "tell you later",

I was like... what bad news?? in my head, it's already a lot of scenes passing by!!!

1, failed a subject (again)?

nope, he didn't tell me there's an exam, or even small test... usually when he's prepping, he'll tell me, oh, there's exam, or teacher is going to give a quiz, and some sort!

(come to think of it, these few days, seems to be a little bit too "peaceful" from him!!! hm...)

if it's not about "failing" a paper...

then what?

oh no!!

2, don't tell me he's injured, fell down or some sort, it happened to him before when he was in kindy, oh ya, he's already a midschool kid now~

but then, yes, these are considered "bad news" for me!

so, I can't drive peacefully, I quickly text him, (it's bad, please don't copy such act!) ask him to tell me, keep it simple and short!

he then texted,

"my water bottle was hit by a classmate off my desk

so i have to change

cover cracked"

phew~ I was relieved!!!

I replied, "I love you!"...

when he got in the car, I told him, what I thought of as in 1, and 2,

then I assure him that, other than these 2, the rest are secondary, so long he's healthy and safe, and "do not fail" any test/exam!

anyway,

my son's a cute baby, a cute boy!!! super duper cute!
