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!

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

This is salty liquorice white chocolate, a Finnish treat and it is amazing. Get on our level

Why do people hate on white chocolate so much. It’s just chocolate. People like it. Why the aggression

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.

Thoughts on minecraft?

The closest I've gotten in playing Minecraft is when I played its knockoff in midschool, so there's not much to say. Unless you want to hear about the (sometimes inhumane) shit I've done in-game.

(of course you do! <3)

I make variations of this chickenkillerinator thing where I subjected creatures (not exclusively just chickens) into some Situations, including but not limited to, them being spawned at the highest possible altitude just to free fall into the lowest point in-game (their end was swift); and then I watch from a distance.

Other than that! I attempted to build big houses, or mansions, or a mall, but I never go completely through with it. Always messed up in the planning stage. Even though I've watched vids on how to build a cool bathroom :[

An honorary mention, hunting down treasures was one of my favorite past times there.

(The game's pretty damn fun but I started getting motion sickness so I had to stop.)

That aside, I'm too much of a cheapskate to spend money on games, but if I ever did get myself a copy of Minecraft, I probably wouldn't even touch the survival mode. I'm satisfied with my chickenkillerinator thanks

And another funny dream again worth to write down.

Starting it with a horny scene where i did collaboration jack off with random girl by telephone. Then next scene where i go ordering food from kfc, except i wasnt able to eat the food as i suddenly head somewhere and forgot i have bought lunch. I met the random girl there in kfc too btw and she said to call by again sometimes 💀

While i was going, i remember meeting several punk(?) riding their bike greeting me except this one guy who pulled me along and confessed, and i told him and his friends that i was into girls or transguy. They were grossed out and become aggresive toward me but luckily caught by the police (called by their other friend who had enough of their abuse). But the two dudes still hold grudge against me.

I went back to kfc (which suddenly morph into other place) and meet my midschool classmates and the one guy i have crushed on before also shows up (again woow). I also met the two dudes caught by the police before who had already turned "nice", but was counting days before they could had their revenge on me. Their revenge is to rip my organs out, specially on the right.

(Atp idk if i dream as myself or as fictional character) one of the dude who was scarier and stronger was actually part of yakuza (its probably bcs i read yakuza manga lmfao 😭). Anyway since i was scared of my organ ripped out, i called the dude and asked him why he still want to have their revenge against me when they have put effort to act nice and actually have a better life now than before. And i told him i would have accept going out with him if he had acted nice and kind like this. And then suddenly the story went enemies to lover excepts it still contain angst.

And thats where the dream ends.

For @artmunstudios

Second fanart posting! This time it's way more lot cuz I drew them two months ago? I feel like I'm drawing too much no goodnights but I have excuse that I graduated midschool today and so cannot post often after I go to highschool...

But this time let me begin with vtubermun the space puppet

And there is EMO Alice. Funny thing was Alice was always grumpy face in illustration in a book I had.

I always wanted to draw these two since two years ago and finally I draw them

I already showed these two but post it again here... (and look at anthony wearing a dragon hood)

Human Pinocchio... I was curious how he'd look like since I heard he would look like P

I was surprised that there was some similarities because I knew no goodnights(I was maybe 13 then) after a year I started to draw 'tales'. Especially the protagonist but the storyline was totally different. I altered his name setting after I knew this(they have the same name but his shown name is a newspaper club penname).

How I Became an Artist

When I was a kid, I had a creative imagination that I just want to recreate what’s on my mind by just drawing. Of course most of us when we were young we can relate to this even if it’s not drawing specifically, we had this certain thing(s) or hobby that makes us happy like sing, dance, drawing, etc.

Since I was born to a bloodline that has a nature of an artist even though they’re not dedicated “artist”, they just drawing as a hobby really but they’re dedicated musicians. That aside, I got influenced by them, this was my main hobby basically throughout the years.

One day when I was on midschool, I had a friend that was an Artist. Since he knows that I’m into making art too he told me that I should try “this app” called iBisPaint on a mobile device and explained me how it works, and that day I got introduced to digital art. On that same year also started the covid-19 pandemic, this might not sound right because it is an awful pandemic but that’s also the best time to utilize and practice making art digitally. Almost a half year past, I was really enjoying digital art that I can actually say that I’m dedicated to this, so I started to invest a bit to it, bought a stylus pen since I was using only my fingers to draw on the screen and I also bought a premium software to draw.

I took the time to just draw and draw and posting my art on a social media platforms like pixiv and twitter. I remember the day that one of my works has suddenly blew up and I got a lot of likes and followers and I was really happy, it made me more motivated. Time passes, my social media accounts are growing and I build my community. One time, I officially started to open my art commissions and it turned out well, it was successfull. I made my own money and can finally buy the stuffs that I want and need such as buying a new ipad, accessories, cosplays, etc. 

After few years, face to face class was officially started again, it made me really busy and can’t spend time making art that often anymore. It drastically affects my routine and time management, I still want to continue doing this since it is now my passion. In a few months I’m gonna graduate on highschool, one of my dream is to take a college on japan but at the same time I don’t want to go to college, I don’t like academics in general and it is costly, I have no career that I desire but I want to chase my passion and become a full time artist. 未来がどうなるかは知らない。

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...

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

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!
