Before I start, I'd like to apologize for my inactivity! i'm currently packing to move so I haven't had much time to post. But anyways, today I thought i'd make a quick post about a few gyaru terms to clear up some confusion about them!
Ganguro - This outdated term is often mistaken as a substyle but it's just a term to describe darker tanned/skinned gals. it's literal translation/meaning is blackface (not the same as actual blackface). This term works more so as an umbrella term to describe old school styles like tsuyome manba/manba, banba, yamanba, etc.
Kurogyaru - This term is often mistaken as the substyle tsuyome but it's actually the newer term used to describe gals who tan or are naturally tanned/have darker skin.
Shirogyaru - I personally don't see many people mistake this term as a substyle but I wouldn't be shocked if it happened. Shiro gyaru is a term used to describe gals who have fair/lighter skin.
Kogal - This is another term you will often see mistaken as a substyle but its just a term to describe Gyarus who are in highschool/who are children. I include both meanings because when people translate kogal they assume that ko is short for kōkōsei (meaning: high school student) or just believe it for its literal translation ko (meaning: child) + gyaru (gal) = Child gal.
Gaijin gyaru - This term is used to describe foreigner gals ( either gals who don't reside in Japan or gals who are not Japanese)
Heisei/reiwa - Terms used to describe the different era's of gal (and which era a gal is from). Heisei lasted from 1989-2019 and reiwa is the newer era of gal, starting from 2020- and currently ongoing.
that's all for now, I hope this was helpful! 💕

I was looking for something in an old file and I found this pictuer of Ganguro Beavis & Butthead that (I assume) I drew like 100 years ago in MS Paint.

How Ekko imagine it:
How it really was:
Featuring Villain and Hero! (based on that one joke)
Villain: How to kiss someone
Villain: Grab their waist
Villain: Slip your hand into their pocket
Villain: Steal their wallet
Villain: Don't even kiss them
Villain: Just run
Hero: Villain, NO.
Villain: What? Is that not how you kiss?
Villain: Aww, guess I'm out of practice
Villain: Hero, will you help me practice my kissing? 😇
Villain: Is there another way?
Villain: Why don't you show me, Hero? 😇
Villain: Or don’t you know how to kiss?
“You know what? Sure.” Hero was so done with Villain's shenanigans. They just wanted a nap and this seemed like a good enough way to shut them up for good.
“Wha—”
Before Villain could say another word, Hero had cupped their face in their hands. Looking over their shoulder, they called out to the sidekicks, “Take notes 'cause I’ll only do this once.” Villain was getting redder by the second, but Hero didn't seem to notice, or they didn't care.
“I-I—”
Hero completely ignored Villain’s stuttering, they were just struggling to stay awake right now. “So. You put your hands on their cheeks, gently.” They loosened their grip. “A good way to know is to imagine you're rubbing their tears with your thumbs. Well, ideally there won’t be any tears but the soft touch is still appreciated." Hero gently wiped away imaginary tears from Villain’s face, unaware that Villain had stopped breathing.
“Now, hm,” Hero got on their tiptoes, “Hm, sorry, Villain. Guess you're a bit too tall for me.” They turned to the sidekicks. “Hey, Villain Sidekick, can you come here? I think your height would do better.” Villain Sidekick didn’t even get a chance to blush before Villain abruptly dropped to their knees. Hero turned around. “Huh. Guess that’ll do. Thanks, V.”
They leaned down nonchalantly, all while Villain’s heart was pounding. Their face felt so hot, and they just knew that Hero could feel it with their hands still calmly holding their face.
“So, you’ve got your hands gently holding their face. You wipe their tears or just caress their face, again, gently. Then, watch. Villain, you too,” Hero kissed Villain’s forehead ever so softly. “This is how you kiss”, then their left cheek, “and this is how you kiss,” before bringing their lips ever so close to Villain’s own, “and... let me tell you a secret,” they whispered, their mouth curving into a smile, lips hovering right over Villain's. “I... I... I don’t know how to kiss either,” they said with a smirk, following it with a quick peck on Villain’s right cheek before immediately dropping their hands.
Oh, the look on Villain's face... thankfully, the sidekicks had their phone cameras on and were excellent note takers.

The way we think of shifting sets us up to fail
this is just my opinion and this is based on a LOA idea of shifting. The idea that you change the 4D and the 3D follows. If you don't believe the same thing that's totally fine! We're all anonymous ppl on Tumblr sharing out opinion, just because I believe something doesn't mean you can't disagree with me.
How you're setting yourself up to "fail", from a LOA perspective:
The very core of how we discuss shifting requires reliance on the 3D for validation. It's built into how we conceptualize it. You consider the physical first.
The 3D does not tell you if you have shifted. The 3D has no authority. You shift in the 4D first.
Don't conform your 4D to your 3D.
Your 4D does not need to mirror the 3D, that's not it's job. The 3D is the mirror. If there was a smudge on the mirror you wouldn't decide to smudge your makeup to match it.
Your goal is the persist in the belief that you have shifted and identify with your 4D. If you wake up, see that the 3D didn't reflect your desire and identify with failure, you are working against yourself.
What you do when it "doesn't work" IS important. What does your 4D look like right now, what is your goal/your desire? Good, now don't identify with anything outside of that.
If in your 4D you shifted last night, don't identify with the idea that you didn't .
Shifting starts with the 4D so WHY do you center your 3D??
Do you know why people suggest that you connect with your DRself throughout the day before the shifting attempt? Because they're identifying with the state fulfilled.
Stop searching for physical validation. Validate the reality you want to see. It comes from within.
You ARE your DRself. Not just in the idea that you're the same person, or that some distant copy is living in your DR, YOU right now are in your DR.
The core of loa is knowing you're already there. You know how I know you can do it? Because you already fucking have. You have to accept that you have.
If you fundamentally view yourself as incapable you will never try do what you wish you could. If you assume you cannot swim you will avoid the water. If you think you need them you'll never remove the training wheels.
I BELIEVE IN YOU. AGGRESSIVELY. IF YOU DON'T DO IT I WILL
You know what fuck it
We need more goofy anti villains
And I don't mean bad guy who pretends to be a hero to destroy the world shit
I mean this type shit
Like:
Villan: How the FUCK! do you expect me to terrorize and destroy this city if it's already being terrorized and destroyed by shit like poverty and climate change! and that stupid ridiculously good looking imbecile that keeps flying through the buildings or throwing cars and destroying my evil plans!!!!
Villan: and there's all these homeless people!! How am I supposed to destroy their homes and ruin their lives if they don't have homes and their lives are already ruined!? And you keep cutting down the trees I was going to use to make evil tree robots!! And it is so fucking hot I can hardly focus on developing my next malevolent plan!!
Villan: this is all ridiculous!! *Pull out huge fucking extra cool si fi gun from coat pocket and points it at City mayor* either you fix it or I'll BLOW YOU TO NOTHING BUT MOLECULES!!!!
OR! I'll fix it myself.
Idk I might have more later but this just seems like such a funny but cool idea to me, got inspired by Megamind.
I'm perfectly normal about them😩😩😩
The best advice I can give you about shifting that I can give you is just vibe twin. Nigga take a chill pill and do you boo.
If you get overly excited then be overly excited. It ain't bad to be overly excited.
If you fall asleep then twin you gonna wake up in your dr.
If you don't wanna think about your dr while shifting but still wanna shift then twin do it.
If you're ass crack itch then itch it nigga. You're still gonna shift.
If you're dog barking and shit either ignore it, make it so it's apart of your dr, or throw a shoe at the mf.
If you forget to script something then why tf are you panicking instead of just scripting it real quick then get back to what you was doing.
If you in pain...... I don't have the answer to that one twin. Push through I guess.
All this complicated shit is for pussies. Don't. Be. A. Pussy.
Ps this really just for me for real. A girl just needs herself sometimes.
