Hey hey! I'm here for my monthly blog post xDD I will def post more than once this month tho, bc the semester ends in a couple weeks so I'll have more free time/spend time on here w/o feeling guilty (bc the time I spend on here could be used to do work but... whatever lol)

I def talked abt some of this in statuses but stats dont rlly matter? they disappear in 15 days and blog posts are way cooler and more permanent so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I always feel like I only post when there's like... a thing to share? like if I get something new or something... that's not rlly what I'm going for? bc then I could just use insta xD its just by the time I wanna post something's happened anyway so I might as well share bc I think its cool :P

So!! I mentioned a while ago on stream that I bought a jacket I had been stalking all quarantine... and it finally came today!!! It's Angelic Pretty's royal pretty jacket, and I hadn't seen it on any secondhand markets until I spotted it this year right before quarantine (for a great price, too!). I was super sad when I found out japanpost had suspended ems to the united states, but fedex is still out here so I'm glad I could get it shipped that way. \^o^/ I feel like maybe its kinda weird that I kept tabs on it all year but... it paid off so whatevs haha here are some pics:



it's got a rlly cool lining, and two inner pockets! so four pockets total, who would have thought lolol I'm def gonna try to make outfits with it while I still can... before it gets too bitterly cold out oof (it already is but idc)

ngl I've avoided saying 'lolita' and 'lolita fashion' on here bc i'm always afraid of ppl reacting to it the way a lot of normies do? (I don't talk abt it irl to many ppl in general tbh) I've only personally experienced this reaction once, but the general trend is that they tend to think its something sexual/gross and its quite literally the opposite: a modest, frilly style... thats it lol. but I think I should let that go here because I would hope ppl who belong to other potentially misunderstood styles wouldnt be so presumptuous. I def wanna make a wardrobe post (real livejournal hours) in an effort to be more comfortable with it at some point, bc why not :P And bc building a lolita wardrobe is a lot of work and every piece is an accomplishment ^-^ what am I saying lol I have one pseudo-coordinate at best xD I will say, a friend of mine irl recognized the style I was wearing immediately when I wore a coordinate out for the first time, and it was rlly nice to have some positive feedback on something I largely kept to myself~ ^o^ mayb if I ever gain the confidence I'll share coord pics on here in posts or somethin, but dont hold ur breath XP

Oh and! I got to go to the library!! They recently reopened for 'express browsing', so ppl can go in and borrow books somewhat normally. I had a hold I picked up so I didnt browse, but it was just cool bein in there. It made me realize how much I missed going, as the last time I physically went in was some time in February I think. I was supposed to take one of my friends there who's never been to get some comics, but the pandemic hit obvs and we couldn't do it. But we're def planning on trying to do it now :D if they'll let 2 ppl browse at the same time lol. And this friend is also someone I'm trying to get a christmas gift for, but I'm highkey nervous? So like, he has a huge collection of comics (I feel ok saying this on here bc there's no way he's gonna find it lol) and he has a cool collection of buffy the vampire slayer ones (like, hardcover library editions!). I wanted to get one for him, because I think he's missing one in the middle of the series from when he showed them to me, but idk if I'm remembering which one it is and I'm nervous I'm gonna buy one he already has D: And the one I think he's missing I'd only be able to get the tpb bc... the library edition is way too expensive and hard to find Dx so I hope it all works out. (tbp is for trade paperback not the black parade lol I just instinctively read it like that rereading this post xDDD im trash)


thx 4 readin my rando post :P it kinda went all over the place but I think the best posts do ^^
