AESTHETIC MEME List your muse’s aesthetic from tastes, smells, outfits & sceneries.
Tumblr media
TASTES: The saccharine sweetness of thick, creamy milkshakes. Bacon and eggs cooked to perfection but looking better than they taste. Fried chicken that almost tastes right but is always 'missing' something you can't remember what. A faded palate where nothing tastes as it should, tastebuds forced to rely on memory to perceive flavour. SMELLS: Sweet waffles and pancakes drizzled with syrup, fried food and strawberry milkshakes topped with whipped cream. Cheap shampoo and conditioner, fruity body mist and moisturizer all from the same dollar store. The stench of inner city pollution from buses and underground subways that never stop running no matter the time. Discount liquid detergent and petrichor, the lingering unpleasantness of mildew and rot. SIGHTS: Vintage posters and signs dating back from the 50's, neon lighting illuminating all but the darkest corners where questionable patrons lurk. Sparkly stickers that dazzle like rainbows upon catching the light. Dark city streets and alleyways where neon lights and shadows intertwine throughout the night. Faces in the crowd you vaguely remember but struggle to recall seeing where exactly. A dilapidated building that's seen better days. A cracked mirror reflecting an unholy fusion of scars and teeth, hosting countless eyes glittering in places where no eyes should ever be seen. SOUNDS: The clinking of metal cutlery against plates, of customers laughing and chattering amongst themselves as they enjoy their meal. A small bell chiming to indicate somebody arriving or leaving. The purring of stray cats waiting patiently for attention and treats. The jingle of a retro console playing even older games, drowned out by thunder in the distance as rain hits the sidewalk. The rickety ambience of a poorly-maintained apartment. The slither of wet flesh as cold water gushes from old pipes. SENSATIONS: Moving swiftly on your feet to keep up with a steady work flow. Feeling endlessly exhausted yet somehow always managing to find the energy to keep pushing on. Excessive warmth and brightness getting to be 'too much', making the dark and the cold more inviting. The relief that rain brings, feeling those first heavy drops pelting bare skin. The comforting presence of your one friend in a city neither of you belong. Uncontrollable eye movement squirming in places where no eyes should ever exist. The feeling that your body is no longer yours. OUTFITS: A traditional waitress outfit with pastel pink accents, bandage wraps and white work shoes. Sunglasses even at night, bootleg graphic t-shirts, hoodies and oversized sweaters obtained from thrift stores. Patched or ripped jeans with colourful socks and low-top converse shoes. Fake wallets diverting attention away from inside pockets.
