i'm only posting this to see which of the lgbt tags show colors now
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.
I love this comic
Oh and I am planning to come out today to my mom and I am pretty nervous... so wish me luck?
“Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep” – Mary Elizabeth Frye
Happy Pride 2019!
So, those who’ve seen the prequel comic on the Hazbin Hotel website know that Angel was/is working for a powerful Pimp named Valentino
ad Valentino, as you can see from above, is an @$$hole.
Now, I know the #1 theory we have regarding him is “maybe Angel’s at the hotel looking for a way out of Val’s clutches,” BUT….then the next day, the pilot came out…and in the opening, we see THIS:
Viv, is VERY CLEVER in her story plot-hook delivery. She DELIBERATELY included this after releasing those first seven prequel pages knowing the fans would NOTICE and put 2 and 2 together that Angel IS still working for Val, and that Val’s just as much of a controlling, dominating abusive boss as presented in the only two pages of him we’ve seen so far…and not ONLY has it got us hooked on how that can effect Angel’s character development, but also, let’s keep in mind ONE OTHER DETAIL OR TWO:
Valentino does NOT like it when Angel is outside the Pron studio. As far as he’s concerned, Angel’s a PORN ACTOR….HIS porn actor, and NOTHING MORE, probably to keep him from getting hurt and “damaging the goods” so to speak. However, we DOn”T KNOW is Valentino knows that Angel’s at the hotel…AND we all KNOW that Angel’s little turf battle with Cherri and Pentious was broadcast ALL OVER HELL
Sooooo….
-What deal did Angel make to get out of the studio? Or did he make a deal at all?
-How will Valentino react to Angel’s “turf war” shenanigans and Angel being at the hotel?
-How will Valentino’s involvement in Angel’s life while at the hotel effect Angel’s story arc?
SO MANY QUESTIONS!! O3O

I love them so much

It's sad that they removed all the Instagram posts
Husk’s first post on Instagram, Angel lovingly asks for a picture with him as well. Husk’s response? “😾” but… not a no?
Angel, looking completely exhausted after a long day, complains about his hunger-
Valentino is quick to point out in the comments that he forgot about Angel completely, so Angel asks to be picked up again as well as bring some food because he’s starving.
Rat man reluctantly agrees to after he’s done filming, but he wouldn’t bring food because he already ate. Angel begs again, but to no response. So I’ll take that as a no.
Husk was the one who went out of his way to get Angel something to eat.
Look at Husk’s face and tell me that isn’t the typical tsundere ‘It’s not like I like you or anything, b-baka!!’ look.
The situation probably went down like this:
Husk: “Here."🙄😾
*Shoves food in Angel’s arms*
Angel: "Huh? For me?? Husky you shouldn’t have~💖”
Husk: “Hmph. I-It’s not that I care or anything, don’t read too much into it! I just happened to buy extra. Don’t think you’re special, w-whatever just fuck off already🖕.”
okayyy maybe not exactly like that but I can imagine 😌
Angel of course is grateful for this considerate gesture, especially coming from someone like Husk—So much in fact he continuously teased Husk about having a good time together.
But this goes to show how much Husk cares about Angel’s well-being and isn’t in is own little world despite pretending he couldn’t give a fuck.
I meeean Husk didn’t have to make a whole ass post gushing about the fact his crush gave him a ticket to his private show but.. 🤭
Unfortunately though due to Husk’s heavy drinking he ended up passing out before he was able to go to Angel’s show. However it actually seemed like he wanted to go? Husk didn’t shrug it off like, “it’s whatever” instead “Shit”, he genuinely seems regretful he missed it.
But because he feels guilty about missing the show, he allows himself to make it up to Angel by watching their son Fat Nuggets.
Now despite Husk not being “a fuckin babysitter!” he still chose to watch Nuggets while Angel went out in order to make it up to him. He didn’t have to, but he did anyway. Took care of him pretty well though, despite Nuggets being “a pain the ass” letting the pig eat literally all the cherries and limes.
I mean I dunno about you but this is some domestic co-parenting bliss right here. mhm.
Honestly if anything Angel is testing out to see how good of a dad Husk would be to Fat Nuggets change my mind. Angel could have asked a more responsible person but he chose the love of his life the drunk cat out everyone else to watch his beloved baby.
Husk wants some sort of reimbursement for his troubles and Angel points out that watching the pig was the favor he owed him but Husk complains though, asking Angel if he knows how hard it is to get the drink materials in hell. Angel gushes about the fact Husk uses his first emoji, and that he’s willing to pay him back for his troubles with a private show just for him❤️
Husk declines the offer of course but in a “…I’m not doing that.” sort of way, see now imagine him trying to hide his embarrassing blushing face while typing that out.
(Also he allows the nickname daddy but not Husky…k)
Angel acts a bit offended claiming he’s worth it and Husk’s response is just “Jesus fuckin Christ…” but not denying it??
He’s not shutting him down completely, or telling him to fuck off—he’s just saying no to the sexual stuff in the most unconvincing manner. Which leads us to the most jaw dropping conclusion.
Angel Dust asks Husk go grab some shakes with him instead, and Husk actually agrees.
It’s literally a date.
Now I wanna take this moment to talk about why this is so important and special.
Every time Angel has made any sort of sexual comments/advances towards Husk either on the show or Instagram, Husk shuts it down. Because he doesn’t want Angel for his body, he doesn’t just want sex from him or to become some fuck buddy like Angel assumes everyone wants from him.
In fact it seems like they’re both building up a genuine relationship between them from what we’ve seen from the posts, I feel like Husk doesn’t to ruin it by sleeping with him. They seem to be getting closer and much friendlier than from what we’ve seen from pilot as of right now, but I believe Husk is still hesitant because he’s terrified of the idea of love, being loved, again. So he keeps shrugging Angel off like a thorn in his thigh when in reality Angel is the closest chance he has at love again. But due to a horrible past, he drowns his sorrows in alcohol which leaves him closed up.
He’s in denial of his buried feelings he’s hid away because drinking is much easier than facing your harsh reality and emotions. Which is why it’s up to Angel to break down these walls he’s built up. To prove to Husk he’s actually serious about him–So far Angel has taken serious initiative to show Husk he’s interested in him, not backing down even when Husk tells him to fuck off.
As it’s much easier to tell someone to fuck off than it is to admit you have feelings for them.
However instead of rejecting Angel’s milkshake date invitation, Husk accepts.
He’s opening up to the idea of having someone close again, he’s letting someone be close to him.
It’s important for both of them to experience love before sex with each other. Angel probably has never had sex with someone “out of love” and Husk had “Lost the ability to love years ago” which is why they both need to learn what it truly means to love someone before stepping into the bounds of physical intimacy. It’s why its makes it all the more special for them.
THE DATE
They end up going on the milkshake date, things turn a bit messy than romantic—but hey look at fat nuggets cute lil tongue (´・(oo)・`)
Angel straight up said “💖🕷️🐷😺💖”
I redrew a comic I did 6 months ago! I saw these quotes somewhere around the internet and they inmediately reminded me of Sir Pentious and Angel Dust

This time of year can be frustrating for people in the aro/ace community.
I will be here, whenever you need to talk.

i heard y’all like infographics, so i thought i’d make a little something about us oriented aroaces!! 💙 💙 💙
Y'know, whenever people want to talk about why aspec people 'count' as an oppressed identity, they tend to go for the big stuff like corrective rape and conversion therapy. And like, we should absolutely talk about that stuff. Obviously those things are terrible and important and we need to raise awareness and deal with them.
But I feel like people often gloss over how… quietly traumatising it is to grow up being told that there is only one way to be happy— and that everybody who doesn't conform to that norm is secretly miserable and just doesn't know it— and then to gradually realise that, for reasons that you cannot help, that is never going to happen for you.
You're not going to find a prince/princess and ride off into the sunset. Or if you do, then it's not going to look exactly the way it does in fairytales. You're not going to get a 'normal' relationship, because you are not 'normal', and everybody and everything around you keeps telling you that that's bad.
You see films where characters are presented as being financially stable, genuinely passionate about their work and surrounded by friends and family, but then spend the rest of the plot realising that the real thing they needed was a (romantic and sexual) partner, to make them 'complete'.
You absorb the idea that any relationships you have with allo people will ultimately be unfulfilling on their side, and that this will be your fault (even if you discussed things with your partner beforehand and they decided that they were a-okay with having those sorts of boundaries in a relationship) unless you deliberately force yourself into situations that you aren't comfortable with, so as to make uo for your 'defects'.
You grow up feeling lowkey gaslighted because all the adults in your life (even in LGBT+ spaces. In fact especially in LGBT+ spaces) are insisting that it's totally normal to not be attracted to anybody at your age, and then you go to school and everybody keeps pressuring you to name somebody you're attracted to because they can't imagine not being attracted to anybody at your age.
And then you get older and realise that one day you're going to be expected to leave home, and that one day all your friends are going to be expected to put aside other relationships and 'settle down' with a primary partner and you don't know what you're going to do after that because you straight up don't have a roadmap for what a 'happy ending' looks like for someone like you.
(And the LGBT+ community is little help, because so many people in there are more than happy to tell you that you're not oppressed at all. That you're like this because you don't want to have sex, and/or you don't want to have any relationships, that your orientation is some sort of choice you made— like not eating bananas— rather than an intrinsic part of you that a lot of us have at some point tried to wish away.)
Even if you're grey or demi, and do experience those feelings, you still have to deal with the fact that you're not experiencing them the 'normal' way and that that's going to effect your relationships and your ability to find one in the first place.
If you're aiming for lifelong singlehood (which is valid af) or looking for a qpp, then you're going to have to spend the rest of your life either letting people make wrong assumptions about your situation (at best that your relationship is of a different nature than it actually is, at worst that the life you've chosen is really just a consolation prize because you 'failed' at finding a romantic/sexual partner) or pulling out a powerpoint and several webpages every time you want to explain it.
This what being aspec looks like for most people, and it is constantly minimised as being unimportant and not worth fighting against— even in aspec spaces— because we've all on some level absorbed the idea that oppression is only worth fighting against if it's big, and dramatic, and immediately obvious. That all the little incidents of suffering that we experience on a daily basis are not enough to be worth bothering about.
I mean, who gives a shit if you feel broken, inherently toxic as a partner, and like you're going to be denied happiness because of your orientation? Shouldn't we all just shut up and thank our lucky stars we don't have to deal with all the stuff some of the other letters in the acronym have to put up with (leaving aside the fact that there are many aspec people who identify with more than one letter)?
So you know what? If you're aspec and you relate to anything I've said above (or can think of other things relating your your aspec-ness that I haven't mentioned) then this is me telling you now that it's enough. Even if we got rid of all the big stuff (which we're unlikely to do any time soon because— Shock! Horror!— the big stuff is actually connected to all the small stuff) we would still be unable to consider our fight 'over' because what you are experiencing is not 'basically okay' and something we should just be expected to 'put up with'.
No matter what anybody tells you, we have the right to demand more from life than this.
I’m just dying while thinking about a hotel employee calmly Googling “How to fold a towel in the shape of an elephant,” and then going out to buy eye stickers.

At my nieces swim meet out of town and we sat down in the bleachers. Behind us we see this woman knitting…the blanket is made out of plastic(grocery bags) y'all. For the homeless. She didn’t want her face posted but this is about the fourth or fifth blanket she’s done. It makes so much sense ya know? Plastic is insulated and it’s surprisingly heavy.
Bless this lady and people like her.

Please. Please please please read this and reblog!
If you support LGBTQ Rights you need to stop scrolling and read this. This is not a fucking joke.
If you cant read this, here it is:
If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database. Her intentions with this are harmful.
She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions. And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love. She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is. An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does. Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks. Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.========This disgusting excuse of a human being of needs to stop, but the only way it can be stopped is if you spread this! Please, be aware of any suspicious people or anons asking for personal information. It can get you or your loved ones in SERIOUS DANGER. Thank you.
Don’t let em! 🙏🏼

I have this headcanon in which Sirius ran away from home during the summer between his 5th and 6th year. After leaving Grimmauld Place, Sirius met Regulus only at Hogwarts, as soon as the new school year began. It probably was not a good reunion. Sorry for the feels, the tears and angst post…… This is the first time I post something like this and I’m a bit nervous….i’m not really satisfied….but better than nothing, no? :) it would be nice to do a whole comic one day o(╥﹏╥)o
