i think cottagecore is like the ultimate anti-rape culture white woman fantasy. it's a vision of reality where Girls* go to picnics and feed each other strawberries and kiss behind the willow trees, where nothing is ever bad or hurtful in a truly meaningful way, where love and safety is the unifying factor of reality. i'm frankly more surprised that some people ever thought this had anything to do with actual rural country life or farming-- at it's center, cottagecore is not just interested in getting away from the city to get away from capitalism or the other struggles of modern life. it's also, fundamentally, about getting away from Men, to a utopian garden of eden on the outskirts where Men simply do not exist, and therefore cannot harm or rape you.

*white, cis, skinny, traditionally attractive, etc.

so many of the Comforting aesthetics and purity politics that we have come to cultivate online in recent years come down to this idea, in my opinion-- a desire to find a Safe Space, to fade away into the fantasy of your Comfort Characters, to find the one singular location of true Stability in a world where everything else is fated to be horrible and terrible forever. it's the negative space of doomer culture, the pessimism that blew up after trump's first election, after the color-blind ignorance of the obama era was sufficiently destroyed by a horror so visible and blatant you simply cannot look away from it. it's no wonder so many of these aesthetics and ideas blew up to the degree that they did during 2020, in the midst of so much global instability and hopelessness. people wanted, and still want, something Pure and Good to take shelter within in the face of all this Evil-- a shell you can hide inside where everything will be perfect forever even as the storm rages on outside, beyond your control and beyond what you want to think about.

it's a flawed way of thinking, of course. black and white to an extreme. you can never find a place that is truly Pure and Good to the intense standards that you set, simply by nature of how those standards themselves are made and enforced-- not only are people simply too complex and nuanced, but the desire for something Freed From Evil itself inherently creates a more and more impossible standard, that is either overly-regulatory of anything that could be even a speck of Problematic™, or is necessarily blind to its own faults and biases (e.g. cottagecore as white lesbian tradwives). and, on the other side, the world outside is not Pure Evil either-- there is still hope to be found, ways in which we can make our systems work For Us, and ways in which we can change them (though those approaches may be difficult or require collaborative effort we, at the moment, simply have not coordinated).

My Windows 11 woes are over, so here we go...(Note the 2025 designs of the LOVE! Defence Club and Conquest Club were revealed on Jan. 31st 2025.)

As a reward for surpassing 100000 followers, the official Boueibu account has been sharing icons. Here's En, Karurusu, Maasa and Akoya (2025 vers.) and Kinshiro, Wakura, Aye-aye and Ryuu (2025 vers.)

This pic of 2025 Ryuu was posted when it was 5 days until the Tokyo Dome City Attractions collaboration on Jan. 31st 2025. Likewise for 2025 Io on Feb. 1st.

Quiz time: "Which of these is not true, according to the lesson Karurusu taught on how to have a proper Japanese summer?" (options from top to bottom: Sleep in every morning, indulging in baseball, doing summer homework while crying, confusing barley tea with mentsuyu and drinking [mentsuyu] (<- Note: Mentsuyu is a noodle soup base with a lot of umami flavour, so you shouldn't drink it like it's barley tea.)

Another quiz question which has already closed: "In the All Men Swimming Contest, which of the following was Kyotaro a part of?" (options from top to bottom: Splash With Your Butt! Butt Sumo, Clippety-Clop Obstacle Course, Fundoshi Relay, All-Cute-Guys' Cavalry Battle)

(More to come later...)

(Update: Added link to Tokyo Dome collab dot point.)

(Update 2: Added pt. 2 in a link.)

Did driving practice today. Actually did parallel parking practice this time, even tho I really didn't want to still. Finally got it into my head that I can maybe do this.

SO......

I have scheduled my driving test. For November 13th, 3 weeks from today.
