8/5/22 blog - Good morning! A love letter to alternate culture--creepy cute edition!

GOOOOOD MORNIN' GAYMERZ!!!!!! :3

Ehehehehehe~! I'm excited today! ...I dread tomorrow cuz i'll prolly be forced 2 go on a 14 hour drive but fuck that i'm gonna ignore that to focus on 2day GYUJBHGYUIJHBGYU. Today's morning blog will be...about how much I love creepy cute!

So...first things first: how do I define creepy cute?

I personally use it to describe the umbrella of subcultures/aesthetics such as pastel goth and yami kawaii! Some of what I have to say will apply more to some and less to others but again this is just a general thingy.

What I Love About Creepy Cute?

Just about everything...! I love how it, to me, feels like an extension of the movements sparked by saying fuck you to society and the dumb shit people say about what adults should do based on pathetic things like gender roles and exact age. No, I don't want to be the perfect masc husband who refuses to touch anything that femineity brushed passed, that works a 9-5 to support The Wife and NEVER show emotion. And I don't wanna be the perfect housewife that exists to be super feminine and raise kids and please Her Husband. Fuck all of that! (I have no problems w people who do the traditional things, just a problem w those who force everyone to)

As a man I will sing my emotions like an opera singer and wear my femineity on my sleeve and wear it with insane pride. And as a woman I will flaunt my masculinity without giving a shit and absolutely OWN it. I am genderfluid and I am proud of it! Gender is a game and I'm playing ranked competitive!!!!

To me, creepy cute embodies this perfectly. Fuck hiding mental illness, neurological conditions, health issues, etc. because its not "pretty" enough for you fucks. I'll openly talk about all this shit cause it's not something forbidden--its my life! Fuck those who'll try to shove us in the attic due to shit we can't control. I have clinical depression, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, tourettes, and asthma and I ain't hiding none of it. Of course, I respect boundaries and heavy topics when needed! We're all in this together, and ignoring each other's boundaries is just plain evil. Don't stoop to the level of the fucks that shoved us in the attic in the first place, right?

Creepy cute, for me, gives me so much comfort too. A lot of things I wasn't allowed as a child can finally be expressed to the fullest. Cute and expensive toys/plushies, rare merch, horror moves/games/books, freedom to express both my positive and negative feelings freely--it's pure magic.

Sometimes when I'm wearing all black or just plain clothes I wonder if I'm not truly "creepy cute" and thats when I remember--it was never about the clothing or aesthetic. At its core its about expressing the shit society shuns people for. About giving the finger to expectations and embracing the you that needed comfort so bad. The aesthetic is just a physical manifestation of that, which applies to most subcultures.

You don't need to wear ripped jeans and listen to metal to be punk. If you wear the most white suburban dad attire and your house looks like someone's granpa's but you put up christmas decor all year round, ignoring your neighbors complaints because fuck them you ain't hurtin nobody--by god thats so fucking punk. Likewise, not being able to afford creepy cute fashion but you openly talk about your favorite sanrio shows while at the same time, respectfully and appropriately openly talking about your struggles and the darker aspects of life and swearing to your heart that you will get better someday--you are the GOD of creepy cute, mx.!

So yeh...that was my love letter to creepy cute ehehehe~ Thanks 4 readin'!
