Playing in nature is the best. 自然で遊ぶの最の高ですっ☆

My fave meals/snacks at the moment *Choco spread and almond butter sandwich (with honey if I need even moreee sugar) *Acai bowl with oat cream *Straight up veg stock cube in hot water with a bit of marmite (trying to fill the veggie void Bovril has left) *Vegetable crisps

Continuing with the salopette glazing. I actually think styling salopettes up rather than using them for casual do wonders. Considering some people don’t even consider them lolita in the first place. Wear the biggest petti it’ll hold. Wear giant antaina sweet boots. Chuck a nice bolero over.

Not to salopette glaze again but man when I own more salopettes I should make a video on how to style them bc I’ve looked into it and it seems as much as people straight up hate the cut, just as many people DO and get intimidated styling them

For all I take the mickey when it comes to early 2010s fashion I sure do want it to come back. I’m tired of how us gen z’ers have somehow made y2k fashion boring.

‘Millenial optimism’ oh fuck it’s happening?? Twee and galaxy print are happening??? Is swag well and truly back???? CAN I BUST OUT MY SHUTTER SHADES FROM WHEN I WAS 9 YET???????

Staying in academia for as long as possible because A) The current job prospects for film grads up here are ‘odeon worker’ and ‘a level film teacher’ B) I really love the idea of going into tonnes of debt C) Idk Dr (surname) sounds really cool

Me sitting looking at a memorial cake listing knowing it’ll be long gone by the time I call up and reopen my hobbies bank account on March 1st 2026

Having to put the egl iceberg video on the backburner cause of work and uni whilst I’m way too in the zone to stop thinking abt it is the worstttt man

Everyone stream Clark rainbow Harajuku girl now!!!!

Rainbows, brownies and girlguiding were such good spaces for me to have as a little girl. It taught me really good life and social skills AS WELL AS strength in our differences. I’ve made lifelong friends from it. How *dare* we try and take that away from other little girls bc of their identities.

Is it jam first or cream first on a scone? Imho it is cream first as it’s densest. It will also make sure that the fat in said cream will hit your tongue first and spread the sweetness of the jam around your palate. Taking a scientific approach to afternoon tea.

Okay so I’ve just read that essay which got a college professor placed on leave and omfg. What. You are not being persecuted for being a Christian you are being persecuted for being completely and utterly dumb and hateful it seems. How on earth did this person get into college in the first place…

Cooking for my girlfriend because she has to do the dishes after

Thinking about how much I paid for a gross yellow milky chan and how that would still be considered an amazing bargain for damaged milky chan standards whilst a jsk with the exact same damage went for half that price in 2016 on comm sales.

How it feels to laugh at hazbin hotels bad writing whilst being a full time jfashion wearer and making cosplays and fursuits as a literal job

Angelic pretty just doesn’t move like this anymore does it :/

How come this cough syrup I spent £11 on is doing a marginally shitter job at curing my cough than honey, lemon slice, hot water. The cough syrup burns and doesn’t stop my cough at all. The honey lemon water is curing me and tastes like a warm hug.

I think if I could go back in time in terms of my egl journey I’d set myself on just collecting one stupid dress print theme or colourway so you could always spot me in a crowd like ‘oh it’s that bitch who only wears dark blue camo jsks’ I think it’d just be so so fun in a stupid way

Dear jirai comm- the best way to get someone to listen to you, or at least hear you out, is to just be normal and nice about what you’re saying. You don’t need to throw in any snark or passive aggression. Literally just say what you want to say as if you were talking to someone new at work.

Egl budget is officially locked down until March so it can refresh. Here is an ode to the main pieces I’ve purchased this year and has survived my seasonal clearouts + what I either haven’t worn or hasn’t arrived yet.

Midway through my paragraph comment abt how salopettes have to be massively dressed up or borderline fairy kei to really pop and tik tok refresheddddosjdjsjdughhhhhhhhh

Touching a real fur coat for the first time in my life is freaky as shit, especially when I work with lots of synthetic fur fibre I can compare it to. Like wow this feels like I’m stroking a real rabbit!! Probably because it’s multiple, Frankensteined together!!

Pros and cons of having a fashion forward grandma: Pros- you get all her cool shit from the 60s and 70s Cons- sometimes that includes real fur Pros- it’s vintage so no new animals were harmed Cons- literally no one will know that

I wonder if it’s an inevitability that in 5-15yrs time 2010s sweet will be how old school is now. With all of the popular ap sweet prints being 20-30yrs old. I can’t tell if lolita was too in the western zeitgeist atp for it to ever be mysterious + cool in the way old school is now

Anyways I’m leaving these here because I’m unapologetically the former but saw the latter whilst my brain was still baby mush and kinda made it my life goal to look like that

Tag yourself: Ancient lolita stereotype meme edition (1/3)

Strawberry princess op (2004) in pink photographs so strangely and I cannot describe it

My ancestors must be raging watching me pay a few hours wage for a drawing instead of having to be born into nobility for it to happen (artist wip)

FYI a meta gobelin bouquet piece from the 2005 release is currently on mercari jp for a less insane price it would be if an lm scalper found it before you

My fave morbid question to ask other jfashionistas: ‘what you doing with your wardrobe when you’re dead?’ I’m very set on selling off some pieces to pay for my funeral, assigning out the rest to my comm friends then taking the honey cake special set to the grave to be a bitch one last time.

Inside after beating the rain, spending the remainder of my egl budget before I have to lock in for Christmas and do my January no buy, cup of cream tea by my side. Life is good.

Entering my health scare era

The nhs does a royally shit job of disguising when they are concerned about something you presented them with like ‘yeah this mole on your skin is probably nothing ignore the urgent biopsy appointment scheduled below’ girl you are scaring me MORE

Polybius is one of the most interesting urban legends ever. The fact that a bunch of gaming related mishaps happened in Portland at the same time regarding vector based games plus the fact an East German multiarcade cabinet was being distributed around the same time lead to the biggest modern myth..

I post like alphys from undertale

Also on the topic of Pokémon I am so so sad that scarlet and violet were so shit and buggy because they have the best story in a whileee. I always think people glaze gen 5 a lot. Gen 7/9 are tied for the best main story and it’s not even close.

The Pokémon b/w low health theme was the scariest thing aged 7 and still the scariest thing aged 20 holy moly

New drinking game- break open any copy of the glb and take a shot every time misako appears

No fucking way am I seeing the ‘dupes are stolen designs/replicas’ discourse play out in the jirai community in real time holy shit it literally is just lolita circa 2014

Rate the co-ord plan/collage I feel like something is desperately missing and I can’t choose between my socks and shoesssss

Not Nigel farage claiming his overt youth racism was banter. Banter was when you’d tie your friends shoelaces to a chair leg or throw a panini at someone’s head, not praising hitler.

I already have music note themed tights but holy fucking shit these Jane Marple utks came up 2nd hand for pretty cheap so I just had to

Asking for concrit on the egl subreddit was like asking a pigeon to do quadratic formulas

EGL’s done wonders for my self esteem, probably more than anything actually intended to improve it. Eating healthier and taking care of my skin and hygiene still didn’t make me feel like I was worth of posing and smiling in front of a camera AND posting it everywhere for people to see

The new g7 lps pandas are the fucking worst. I don’t get what people are talking abt when it comes to the decline and in quality apart from the pandas. Both the calender and blind bag pandas are so bad I have shitty 2013 era fakes that are better.

Terfs: trans people are infiltrating lesbian spaces!! Cis lesbians feel uncomfortable around trans people!! The cis lesbians in question:

Two lolitas try and do the twinning/heart pose for 4 pics straight #egl #lolitafashion

I treat bsky like the victorious characters treated the slap

Just found out a ‘colouring in whilst my boyfriend does his big boy job’ type person I knew is like directly related to a predominantly important suffragette. Holy fucking airballs.
