Mori Kei for Boys-And-Boyesque-People

I’ve talked about cottagecore fashion for masc-aligned people, but mori kei is a similar-yet-different fashion. I’ve mainly only found guides for our femme-people, so I’ve decided to make my own guide!

First note: mori is Japanese for forest, and kei is Japanese for style. The style mori kei originated in the mid-2000s, I believe, because of a girl named Coco. The style harmonizes much with the cottagecore ideals- becoming closer to nature, unplugging from electronics, enjoying simple things, respecting the Earth, and old-fashioned motifs feature heavily, along with natural-themed motifs.

To give you a sense of mori kei on masc-people, here are some pictures: (Note! Does not belong to me, is simply just images I was able to google and locate)

Now I’m going to break down the outfits into key components:

-Layers

-Natural, unsaturated colours

-Natural fabrics, like linen, wool, cotton, leather, etc.

-Prints like stripes, polka dots, florals, plaid, nature-themed prints are prevalent

-Loose fits

-Wrapping elements

-Comfortable, loose sneakers or some form of hiking boot

-Little structure

-Natural accessories, like walking sticks, newsboy caps, straw baskets, straw boater hats, leather belts, etc.

You might think this is all well and good, but how do I achieve this style?

-Stock up on henley-styled t-shirts, short and long sleeve, in colours like navy, sage, burgundy, white, ivory, brown, khaki

-Invest in loose-fitting pants in that same colour scheme. Bonus points for fabrics like corduory, twill, or linen.

-Look for a nice belt. I’ve noticed that a lot of well-done mori boy outfits have aesthetically pleasing belts.

-Pay attention to prints. Look for botanical-like florals versus abstract. Search for textured prints and pay attention to feel.

-Have fun with fabric. Natural fabrics have tonnes of different textures and feels to them. You can use this to make your outfit more interesting.

-Layer! T-shirts, cardigans, heavy coats, pants, socks, scarves, boots… There are many ways to give your mori outfit some more dimension to give it more of an aesthetic appeal.

-If it’s too hot where you are for layers, focus on fabrics and loose fits. Let your linen henley t-shirt drape over your cotton shorts, add a straw boater hat and some weathered sneakers, and that’s plenty mori on it’s own.

-Incorporate adventure-like elements into your fashion, such as a compass on a piece of yarn for a necklace.

Aside from the fashion, how can you incorporate mori boy aesthetics into your hobbies?

-Take up a wind instrument, like the flute

-Read more books

-Learn about folklore

-Watch TV shows like the anime Piano no Mori

-Listen to music like PoPoyans, and also check out traditional Chinese and Japanese piano and flute music for that mori feel.

-Go hiking and camping!

-Draw! Paint! Create some type of art.

-If it’s all you want to do, soak up some sun.

-Dance in the rain

-Take photographs

-Try tea

That’s all for today.

Don’t let em! 🙏🏼

queer, vampire obsessed Romanian FREAK watches Thirsty Vampires. 4847 injured 75 dead 🩸

lyrics from "Ferryman" by Shayfer James & Will Wood (text-free version and yapping below)

It's done!!! Waaah the only reason it took so long for me to make is bc I kept changing my plans lol. I was only gonna do flat colors... then minimal shading... then um. Yeah. So it's gone through a lot. But I definitely enjoyed looking at it while drawing. They're so ARRRGHHHHHH

This is my take on THE stars of Thirsty Vampires!! Esmeranna?? Is Anna just a fanon name? I've been obsessed since January and I still don't know.

ALSO! @notsoprivateartgalleryshush drew this scene as well (click on that link or I'll stake you) and they guessed what I was working on based on Esmeralda's sleeve & asked to be tagged in the finished piece. Here it is!!!<3 Hope it didn't disappoint! ^^

Also also. I need you to understand exactly how this scene is like all my interests colliding into one big bang. A few hours ago I finished drawing THIS for my anime art account(s) as my new pfp.

ANYWAY!!! thanks for reading AAGH back into my Angel cave I go.

This adorable proposal.

Don’t Take Up Spaces that Aren’t Meant for You

I go to use the elevator in a high rise building only to find a sign that says “Please ask security for access to this elevator”. A week ago, that sign wasn’t there. When I ask the security guard why the sudden change in policy, they said that people from other floors in the building had been abusing their access to the elevator and that they needed to lock it down. 

Let me make this perfectly clear: I could no longer independently access the only elevator available to take me to this part of the building because other people decided to use / abuse a space that was not meant for them instead of taking the stairs right next to the fucking elevator.

Here’s another example: In order to have access to an accessible room on a cruise ship, I have to submit a form stating that I do in fact  have a physical disability that prevents me from using a normal state room on the ship. I have to do this because able-bodied people have, in the past, been dishonest about the level of accessibility they require in order to have access to a larger stateroom without having to pay a premium.

How about this one: I go into the restroom of a massive convention center. Every single stall  in this restroom is empty except for the one handicapped stall in the back, which is being occupied by someone who does not need to use a handicapped stall. I now have to wait for that one person to exit the stall before I can use the restroom. Remember: This bathroom has 7+ other stalls that are built specifically to work for them, but they chose  to use the one space that is available to people like me.

Dear able-bodied people: Handicapped bathroom stalls, seating areas, staterooms, and elevators are not meant for you and you should not use them.

I do not care how big of a hurry you were in and how that elevator got you to where you needed to go faster. Because of you, I have to go find someone every time I need to use this elevator and if I can’t find them I GET NOTHING. 

To you, that cruise ship can house 2000+ people and you have an opportunity to get a massive stateroom at no extra cost if you’re wiling to fib a little. To me, that cruise ship has a capacity of around 12 (the number of accessible rooms on the ship) and if they’re all full, I GET NOTHING.

To you, that movie theater has four really great seats right in the middle that just happen to have a handicapped accessible sign on them. To me, that theater has four seats and if they’re all full, I GET NOTHING.

And let me address the bathroom thing in particular. I don’t give a flying fuck if the handicapped stall was the only one available. You should pretend like it doesn’t fucking exist and wait in line like everyone else. *

Don’t take up spaces that were not meant for you. Because everything but those few precious spaces were not meant for us. 

* Unless it’s literally the only stall in the bathroom or you’re about to absolutely shit yourself. Then it’s fine. 

hey trans jews!

(especially trans orthodox jews!)

i just found this site, which (admittedly, using older terminology) has a bunch of positive reinforcement for trans orthodox people! it covers a lot of questions about whether you’re allowed to be trans (yes) and get surgery (yes) and what gender a trans person is (whichever one you are, naturally). personally this is super cool to see as an orthodox nb person! 

please spread around for your trans jewish friends  ♡

to all trans guys: the f on your birth certificate isnt for female, its to pay respects
