South-east France (Nice) Miku :3c
[COMMISSIONS]
Yapping vvv
Nissart (the dead-ish language of Nice) traduction : "The world is mine from here to there"
Nice's traditional outfit is called 'la bouquetière' (the flower bouquet lady)
And she's wearing mimosa flowers in her hair ! It's a very widespread tree here, and it's used during carnival for the flower battle :D also it's very pretty and my favorite flower
The background is in Klein's blue shade ! Found it funny to include a nod to an artist from Nice known for his shade of blue in a Miku drawing
Miku's holding a bottle of Pastis, an alcohol from the south of France and heavily associated to it
The little Miku is doing the Jul sign, Jul being one of the most popular french rapper (and he's from Marseille, the biggest town in the south)
And she's perched on a blue chair, another symbol of Nice

I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.
For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.
I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.
And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”
Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the 'I hate studying so I will become a housewife' reel trend on the Indian side of Instagram? I know it's a joke. A joke made a few times is okay. But the line between humor and conservative beliefs is getting blurry now. These girls are lowkey proving the Sigma males right. I don't think we should popularize this trend.
Most of the housewives in our country wanted to study, wanted to work but due their circumstances, they are housewives. If someone willingly wants to become a housewife, I respect their decision. But just because you're too lazy to study, that is not a reason to become a housewife. Becoming a housewife is tougher than studying. And no one would be actually able to pull it off when the time arrives.
