an lj post?!
I've actually meant for months now to write a long rambly post about how I have slowly come to terms with my love for girly femininity, but how I rejected it for years because of the associations that have been hung around it.
Then I was lazy and just told judgers chan about it, but I still wanted to open a post for discussion.

[Kazuki] ...pfft
[Kazuki] punnyyy
[+Shuri] oh god so cute
[+Shuri] ... oh now I actually look at the model who is like 5
[@Naoi] well that was in the kids section
[+Shuri] I keep passing by kids sections in stores and being like "sldkfjldskj I want it"
[@Naoi] yes ;w;
[@Naoi] socute
[Kazuki] ...pfft
[%Seraish] I am not a pretty princess :/a I do envy the kids their How To Train Your Dragon and etc tshirts though
[%Seraish] I THINK I'M ONLY SUPPOSED TO WEAR BORING TSHIRTS NOW THAT I'M OLD
[@Naoi] noo :(
[@Naoi] that would be a tragic fate
[+Shuri] Michael has allll this httyd stuff
[Tiv] Man I want to be a princess
[Tiv] I'm going to be a princess when I grow up and wear pretty dresses!
[+Shuri] I didn't care about clothes until like a year or two ago and suddenly I'm just like HNNNGH I WANT PINK SPARKLY STAR SHOES
[+Shuri] I actually have a theory about this but it is kinda deep and pretentious
[@Naoi] well we can't judge you here anyhow
[%Seraish] i want to hear shuri's pretentious theory
[+Shuri] I feel like I disassociated myself with mainstream girliness when I was going through puberty because it started to be so associated with heterosexuality and looking cute for boys and stuff
[%Seraish] i am totally down with this theory because I think being ace probably led me to do something similar. that and mainstream girliness also being associated with weakness via lolmisogyny
[+Shuri] and I don't wanna deal with that crap, and I think only recently I became confident enough in my identity and likes and dislikes to be ok with wanting to go shopping for cute clothes and stuff
[+Shuri] yeaaah :(b
[@Naoi] aww
[@Naoi] that makes sense to me :(
[Kazuki] ...yeah
[Kazuki] that sounds similar to mee too :|a
[+Shuri] sob.
[%Seraish] I think that I genuinely am not a fan of pink sparkly shiny stuff
[%Seraish] but I also don't think that I really knew my own tastes as a kid
[+Shuri] that's cool too
[%Seraish] most of it when I was a kid was just me kneejerk reacting to NOT PINK! I'M NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL.
[+Shuri] I have learned that I genuinely am a fan of pink sparkly shiny stuff
[+Shuri] YEAH I DID THAT THOUGH TOO.
[%Seraish] that is awesome
[%Seraish] LIVE THE SPARKLY DREAM
[+Shuri] yeahhhhh~*~*~*~
[%Seraish] as an adult I can be like YEAH KID SELF YOU WERE RIGHT BUT ALSO WRONG!!!!
[+Shuri] the world is more complex than we had perceived it as children!!! as children it's always like "yeah whatever, you keep saying that but probably I am the intelligent kid who knows everything."
[Kazuki] haha IA SHURI SERA. like I was against traditional girly stuff because a) sometimes i genuinely didn't care! (like I genuinely didn't like dolls, they were boring) ...then b) it was because even then i had a vague notion that to be too girly was "bad", or not desired.
[Kazuki] Which slowly grew into feminism as i came to resent that, because no matter what i did i was stll a girl, and then i was all... BUT I LIKE BEING A GIRL
[Kazuki] So yeah
[+Shuri] Yeah I still don't really like makeup much, for example, but some girly things I do like and stuff!!!
[Kazuki] yes :|b
[Kazuki] AND I HATE BEING JUDGED FOR IT auugh but i like itso the people that do can fuck themselves
[+Shuri] :Db
[Kazuki] ...i think this could be a cool theory to make an lj post about actually cause of the discussion one could have about it
[+Shuri] I always meant to make it an lj post one day because I think about it sometimes
[+Shuri] but instead I told judgers chan
[Kazuki] do iiiit
[Kazuki] WE CAN TALK MORE
[+Shuri] BUT NOW I'M TOO LAZY TO SAY IT ALL AGAIN maybe I will later once I have forgotten this conversation
[Kazuki] :(
[Tiv] c/p it
[Kazuki] yes c/p it
[Kazuki] so i can have something to stalk at work where i have to deal with a stupid sexist boss AND newbie
[Kazuki] the newbie funnily enough now pisses me off more than my boss
[+Shuri] IF EVERYONE IS OK WITH ME C/PING IT
[Kazuki] i am obvs
[Tiv] YES this is interesting!
[%Seraish] I AM FINE
LIKE I SAID I AM INTERESTED IN PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS ON SPARKLES, anyway
