What is my aesthetic??

501Pages

Yuremino·8/25/2020 in General

Hello! Long time Lurker, recently discovered some pages that piqued my interest and made me question why my aesthetic is.

> Yume Kawaii is cool, but I don't like clutter on my body and agree that it somewhat glorifies suicide. I do like that it's a vent for depression/anxiety.

> Same with Truamacore. I don't identify with it because it is an exclusive coping mechanism for trauma/CSA survivors. The grungy, sanrio, blingee.com edits I do like.

>I love liminal space, after hours, Band-Aids, Hot Topic, fake pills, and mint green pastels.

>Sad people is ok, but I like having a balance of pessimism and optimism.

>I like the idea of fake witch recipes?? I don't practice majick or witchcraft, but having dried flowers in bottles, a thing of moss growing on my window, and fake recipes/sigils sounds so cool to me.

>Oddcore, Y2K furniture/decor, old web is very nice as well.

Let me know your thoughts :)!

I agree with you. Being a participant of YamiKawaii, YumeKawaii, Angelcore and many other combinations of aesthetics, I still couldn't find the one that was perfect. I tried to get to the bottom of what I felt in every one, and it all boiled down to the feeling of not belonging, feeling alone and split personalities. (There's a lot, but imma spare you the details.) I channeled that feeling and made my own aesthetic. You can combine different aesthetics to make your own. Just use creativity to be yourself.

Also can I just say I basically like all the things you've just mentioned? This is crazy.

@Kiaramiettemoonbeam I came back here surprised to get an answer, because I thought I was being too specific. But Karasu No Bara felt like a page that exactly described me. I'd figure my aesthetic is too optimistic for Truamacore/Yami Kawaii/Sad people. But too pessimistic for Yume Kawaii/Angelcore.

Your link was extremely helpful. It validates my feelings about enjoying a pastel/grungy look, while appreciating the good and bad things in life. It also validates having multiple aesthetics without sticking to only one (I love scene/liminal space/ etc.). Thank you so much for providing this answer :)))).
