Titles: I am bad at them.
I had the urge today to make a Post Full of Cool Things, so I hope you'll find some of them enjoyable :) This is a taste of the things I've been amusing myself with on the internets lately.
1. I started another blog! It's called Tea Under the Pine Boughs and it will be (most likely slowly) filled with articles I write about Victorians, pictures of mori girl fashion, faery things, and probably, knowing me, Vocaloids. Right now it's just got an introductory post of sorts about why I can't get enough of those wacky Victorians. I intend to use it for more professional writing, which is not to say that it'll be very professional. It'll probably just have more themed content rather than rambling about life, which is what this journal is for :)
2. Speaking of Vocaloids. Have some!
This song is Akatsuki ("daybreak") Arrival by Last Note and features some of the most human-like Luka and Miku I've ever heard. ALSO I TOTALLY SHIP THEM. It's implied to end in tragedy, which is only what you can expect from a Vocaloid romance song (but could we have some happy lesbians sometime, plzkthx?). The video's pretty good, too, and it's subtitled very well.
3. Mori girl style is so appealing to me because it portrays an antique feeling while still looking comfortable. Mori style is elegant, so girls (and boys!) who wear it look dressed up but not formal. It's inspired by fairy tales and woodlands and cottages and going out into meadows in the early morning with a woven basket to gather flowers.
This one's by Nashare.
This one's by Favorite One.
This one's by Golen. I'm sure every writer has that moment where they see a human being who looks just like one of their characters - very surreal - and this is mine. Kiin, from my fantasy-worldbuilding-experiment NaNoWriMo 2010 novel, looks just like this, although mori really isn't her fashion style.
This one's by Dear Li. It's got a very Anglo-Saxon peplos look, which may be why I like it.
